She changed the topic and continued asking about other things.
"By the way, you just arrived in Magnolia. Have you found a place to live yet?"
"If not, you can consider the girls' dormitory provided by the guild."
"Although it is a little expensive, with a monthly rent of 100,000J, the size and conditions are much better than ordinary apartments outside."
"100,000J?"
Lucy immediately froze.
She lowered her head and spoke with an embarrassed expression.
"That... with my current financial situation, I probably can't afford it."
Although this version of Lucy had not fallen out with Jude and was not restricted financially, she wanted to prove to her father that she had already grown up.
So before leaving, Lucy had firmly rejected her father's offer of financial support.
She wanted to earn money herself and survive like a true mage.
Unfortunately, as a young lady who had spent money freely since childhood, she had not managed to completely change her habits before setting out.
The small amount of money she carried with her had already been almost completely spent on the journey.
Now, she did not even have 10,000J left.
That amount was not enough to rent a room.
In fact, even filling her stomach tomorrow would be a problem.
Seeing her depressed expression, Lucky helplessly sighed.
"Alright, looking at you like this, I can roughly guess what happened."
"If you really don't have any money, I can ask the other girls in the guild and see if one of them is willing to let you stay at their house temporarily."
Hearing this, Lucy excitedly grabbed Lucky's hand.
"Thank you so much, Lucky-san! I will never forget your great kindness for the rest of my life!"
"Hey, hey, you're exaggerating."
Lucky laughed and gently pulled her hand back.
"You said earlier that you met Sorano before?"
"Are you two close?"
"If you are familiar with each other, I can call her over and ask if she is willing to let you stay with her."
Thinking about the white-haired big sister she had only met once before, Lucy scratched her head awkwardly.
"Calling us familiar might be a little too much. We only met once."
"And besides Sorano, I have also met Mira and Kabe before."
Lucky, who was lowering her head and searching beneath the counter for a communication lacrima, suddenly froze.
She raised her head in surprise.
"You know Mira and Kabe too?"
"Looks like you really have a connection with Fairy Tail."
At this point, Lucky still did not think too much about it.
After making that comment, she took out a communication lacrima about the size of a human head.
After operating it for a while, she contacted Sorano, who was currently staying at home.
After exchanging a few simple words, Lucky put the lacrima away and made an OK gesture toward Lucy.
"Alright, she will be here soon."
"As for Mira and Kabe, I can't help you contact them. They aren't in Magnolia."
"And even if they were, with their current situation, I don't think they would be able to let you stay with them."
"Eh? Both of them aren't here?"
"I was really looking forward to seeing them again."
Lucy looked disappointed.
Even the happiness of successfully joining Fairy Tail faded a little.
"There's nothing we can do."
"Mira is taking care of Elfman and Lisanna, and she is also responsible for her younger sister's situation."
"As for Kabe, you should have seen it in the newspapers."
"Ever since he went to the royal capital more than a month ago, he hasn't returned."
"Ahhh... when will I finally be able to see him again..."
Lucy dragged out her voice.
She became so disappointed that she directly rested her head on the table.
Lucky could not do much about it, so she could only try to change the subject and distract her.
"I think you should first think about how you're going to earn money and support yourself."
She pointed toward the guild's request board and kindly explained.
"The requests on that board are all jobs that need to be completed."
"I recommend choosing one that matches your abilities and completing it."
"But the guild has a rule. New members are not allowed to take overly dangerous jobs."
"So after you choose a request, you still need to come back to me. I will evaluate whether it is suitable."
Following the direction Lucky pointed, Lucy saw a large board fixed to the wall, completely covered with request papers.
The thought that she would soon be able to earn money by completing missions, just like she had always dreamed of, immediately lifted her spirits.
After thanking Lucky, Lucy quickly ran over.
