Blue Pegasus is really different from Fairy Tail, and also distinct from Mermaid's Heel.
It's hard for the average person to tell if someone entering has a mission to commission or is just there to spend money.
Because even if a commissioner comes in, they get pulled into a flawless reception process by handsome guys or beautiful ladies.
By the time this nearly impeccable process is complete, the mission details are usually clear, and the commissioner leaves in a very good mood.
This way, even if the mission isn't complete yet, positive reviews are almost guaranteed.
Rhode thought seriously about whether this model could be used in his own guild...
In the end, he concluded that directly copying it might end in disaster.
"I'm back." A somewhat childish voice sounded at the door, it was Ive returning from outside.
His appearance caused many ladies in the guild to exclaim:
"Brother Ive!"
"Was it hard out there, did you get hurt?"
"Really now, why do you take on such dangerous missions?"
A group of older sisters surrounded Ive, taking turns to express their concern.
Ive adeptly chatted with each of them, naturally taking on the role of their younger brother, calling out "Sister dear" to each one.
—Even though some of the girls were younger than him.
He skillfully reassured the excited "sisters," and was about to report the mission status, when he caught sight of his respected master, One Night, and quickly sprinted over.
Ive bowed respectfully: "Brother Yiye, the mission to drive away the giant firebird has been successfully completed!"
"Very good, as expected of Blue Pegasus's mage!"
"All thanks to Mr. Yiye's training!"
"The next task for you then is..."
"What is it?"
"To entertain our esteemed guests!"
"No problem, Teacher Yiye!"
Rhode quietly watched these two, as their conversation seemed like a dance performance. The remarkable thing was that their awkward poses somehow brought about quite a few cheers and applause.
One Night flicked his hair, with two fingers gently raising his bangs, which immediately made the screams even louder.
In the corner, there was a lady holding her forehead, looking as if she might swoon from his handsomeness.
Rhode couldn't help but question his own aesthetics; could it be that Mr. Yiye's face is actually extraordinarily handsome?
According to Bigda, he even once lost a dance contest to One Night.
From popularity to professional scores, it was a complete defeat.
Is it that he hasn't discovered the unique charm hidden in Mr. Yiye's every move?
"So it's Mr. Rhode and Miss Mirajane, welcome to Blue Pegasus..." Ive looked at Mirajane eagerly, "Can I call you Sister dear as well?"
Rhode hooked Ive's neck, pulling him over, and laughed: "Sure, you can even call me 'Brother dear'."
"Ha, haha..." Ive laughed awkwardly, he preferred chatting with the sisters and wasn't good at dealing with men.
After chatting for a while, Ren suddenly walked over with a mission sheet: "Mr. Yiye, please take a look at this mission."
"Is it commissioned by that lady with the citrus scent who just left?" One Night asked, "What's wrong?"
"Yes, it's about a peculiar owl..."
Rhode raised a hand: "Um, shall we step aside?"
"No need, this isn't a confidential mission," Ren said, though he turned his face aside, "I'm not insisting you stay."
"It's alright, it's just an ordinary mission." One Night had skimmed through the mission sheet quickly, "It requires dealing with an odd owl that's injured people, seems familiar somehow."
Ren said: "Yes, Teacher Yiye, wasn't the mission Ive just completed about dealing with a firebird?"
Ive nodded: "Yes, the firebird I dealt with had previously injured other mages."
"Hmm..." One Night pondered for a moment, "Another bird, is it that the bird-type magical beasts are particularly agitated this season?"
Hearing One Night say this, a magnetic voice echoed in Rhode's mind: Spring has arrived, nature is reviving, it's mating season again...
Though it was spring, he thought the issue with magical beasts probably wasn't due to that.
Beside them, Hibiki had already brought up a golden virtual keyboard and screen, typing swiftly to search for recorded information.
After a moment, he said: "Recently, many bird-type magical beasts are entering their mating season..."
Rhode almost spit out water; was that really the reason?
"... During this period, if an owl's nesting area is approached, it might indeed attack humans." Hibiki moved a translucent screen in front of everyone, "Magical beasts resembling owls might indeed become more aggressive."
Ive wondered: "But there was no nest near the strange firebird I dealt with."
Hibiki said: "Perhaps that's its newly chosen nesting site, or maybe it's overly nervous after leaving the group. The two missions might not share the same cause."
Ren volunteered: "Boss Yiye, let me handle this one."
"MEN~" One Night said, "If it's an owl, it's more suitable to go with Simon."
Jenny said: "But this morning Simon went to Mermaid's Heel to visit his sister, should we wait for him to return?"
Rhode had just been wanting to ask about Simon.
The two siblings had a good relationship; previously, when they went to Mermaid's Heel, his sister came to see him, and now it was his turn to visit her at Blue Pegasus.
Ren said: "Let's not wait for him, it's better to resolve the magical beast hurting people as soon as possible."
Ive offered: "Then I'll go with you, my Snow Magic works well against these hibernating birds."
"No, you just got back." Ren hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can find a suitable partner from another guild."
Rhode and Mirajane hadn't quite understood what was happening, but the folks from Blue Pegasus all spontaneously laughed.
Ren's deliberately tanned face turned slightly red.
Jenny mischievously wrapped her arm around Mira's: "Indeed, we can invite people from other guilds, how about those two?"
Ren was perplexed: "?"
Jenny quickly promoted: "Rhode and Mirajane can both fly, not to mention their strength, teaming up with them could also enhance cooperation and exchange between Blue Pegasus and Fairy Tail..."
Hibiki immediately chimed in to support his fiancée: "Jenny's right, I've heard that teaming up with Mr. Rhode is very enjoyable."
"MEN~ Mr. Rhode has an aura of reliability~"
Ive joined in: "If they had come a few days earlier, I would have wanted to invite them for my last mission too."
Ren's expression grew more conflicted.
Mira pretty much understood what was going on, turns out Blue Pegasus played this way too.
She said with a broad smile: "We just came back from a trip, not in a hurry to return to the guild, teamwork sounds great~"
