The next morning at Fairy Tail.
A whole crowd gathered in the corner of the hall and everyone watched the scene with strange faces. For an hour now, Gray and Cana have been trying to wake up the newcomer, but any means have been unsuccessful. Even Makarov, having gone down from the second floor in the morning, did not understand why there were such screams. In the end, for another ten minutes, everyone tried to wake up Aidan, but to no avail. Makarov even tried to use force himself, but nothing came of it. The guy continued to snore no matter what. The Master's heavy fist had no effect at all, and the screams and thrusts even more so. Inveterate sleep-lovers could only envy such a deep sleep. It was the first time people ever saw someone so soundly asleep. What's more, it's so loud! The more they woke him, the more terrible Aidan snored - even the tables vibrated!
At this time, a sleepy Natsu came out of the other room and also began to help wake the newcomer. Only at the end did it turn into an ordinary fight with Gray. By that time, everyone had unanimously forgotten about the newcomer and a massive brawl began in the guild.
After a while, Erza arrived with little Wendy, who immediately began looking for the familiar face of her brother, and when she noticed him sleepy and slightly beaten ...
- Who touched my brother ?! - for the first time, everyone in the guild heard such a formidable cry of a little girl. For a moment, silence reigned, the fighting stopped and Makarov nodded in praise. Looks like Wendy had potential as good as Erza!
Gray and Natsu looked at each other and both left with some apprehension:
- We wanted to wake him up, but ... Ahem, it's all Master!
- Eh ?! - the old man jumped up and quickly approached Wendy:
- Don't listen to these fools, I just tried to wake him up ...
The anger on the girl's face began to subside, she calmed down a little and said with resentment:
- My brother always sleeps like that! If you still hurt him ... I promise you ... - for a moment the girl's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty shine, from which Natsu and Gray were covered with cold sweat. Even Makarov coughed and walked away. Erza smiled and nodded contentedly, and then approached Aidan with Wendy.
The baby straightened her brother's hair and smiled:
- He always sleeps soundly, only he usually gets up early ...
“He's probably tired,” Erza smiled and looked at that sleepy innocent face. Memories of the previous evening instantly flashed and Erza lowered her eyes slightly.
- Well, never mind how he sleeps, he will definitely get up, - Wendy laughed and sat down next to her on the bench. Erza stood for a while and sat down opposite:
- Can you wake him up?
“Nope,” Wendy laughed. “I never did it. Once I pretended to be asleep on purpose to watch him asleep. I felt scared ... But, I could not wake him up. So ... - Wendy was a little embarrassed: - I clung to him and ... u-fell asleep.
- How cute! - Kana wedged into the conversation and patted the sleeping guy on the head: - Nothing, his master is not strong.
Wendy's eyes were frozen again, so Cana quickly turned the conversation.
- Well, I can tell you fortunes, do you want? I got even better.
The girls agreed and Kana began to lay out the cards, simultaneously asking:
- So ... If you are not family with him, how then did you meet?
- Well ... - Wendy replied thoughtfully: - I don't remember exactly how I ended up in that forest, I just looked around, and Grandina is gone, - the girl smiled sadly: - Then I got scared and then we met ... Brother was quite creepy and I did not immediately understand that this is a person.
- Creepy? What is it like?
- Well ... - Wendy stroked her brother's hair and smiled. - His hair was so long and disheveled, and he was also covered in mud. Yes, and his eyes, I was scared ... But then he saved me! - the girl laughed: - So we stayed together.
“You seem to be quite close,” Kana smiled and turned to Erza. “Really?
- Well, yes.
Cana narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
- Something you are quiet today ... By the way! I just got it! What's wrong with your eye ?!
- Ah ... W-well ... This ... Aidan gave it back to me.
- Yes? Are you kidding?! He can do that ?! - Cana narrowed her eyes again: - Interesting ... And he is even more cunning than I thought!
- You have a great brother Wendy! - Kana praised with an incomprehensible smile.
- What does it mean? - Erza did not understand, and Wendy blinked in bewilderment. Cana just giggled and whispered:
- You will soon find out. Well, for now, let's look at your future!
As soon as the cards were spread out on the table, a quiet snoring was heard from the side of the sleeper, and then Aidan finally opened his eyelids and immediately grimaced.
- What the hell ... Ah, I didn't drink that much!
- Brother! - Wendy immediately hugged him: - You woke up!
- Well ... - the guy rubbed his forehead and frowned: - It feels like a stone was thrown on my head.
A splash of resentment flashed in the eyes of the young sorceress again, and she glanced displeasedly towards the Master:
- It's all him!
- ABOUT...! - Aidan got up and cracked his neck: - I suppose he was trying to wake me up ... Well, don't be so angry, - stroking his sister's blue hair, Aidan smiled warmly at Kana and Erza. Wendy quickly stopped sulking and again beamed with happiness, while Cana quietly grinned at this sight, looking at the unusually quiet Erza.
`` Okay, I have to go on a mission ... '' looking around, the guy finally noticed Natsu and shouted:
- Natsu, are you going there ?!
- ABOUT! Aidan! Let's go!
Throwing on his backpack, Aidan smiled at Wendy and said goodbye to Cana and Erza, and then the two guys headed to the eastern forest. Natsu knew where to go, so taking him was not a bad idea.
***
Stopping with deeper depths, Aidan yawned and looked around.
- It's time to start ... Here, - the guy handed the leaflet to a friend: - This is how the wild boar looks, catch those, just try not to fry too much. If anything happens, scream at the top of your lungs. And don't spoil the skins, your catch is your earnings.
- Um, - Natsu narrowed his eyes and looked at the look of the boar: - And what, you need to kill him? And rip off the skin?
- Not really, you can drag a whole wild boar to that hunter. But this is longer and the boars weigh a lot, I won't even lift one, look at those little hands, '' bragging about his thin forearms with a grin, Aidan continued:
- I'm not a fan of killing in vain and poking around in meat. But, such a job, I need money now, but in any case, someone will take an order for wild boars. So they will be refreshed in one way or another, let it be better then it will be you and me Well, if you want, I can do everything for you, the main thing is to catch more of them. Can you do it?
"Well ... Yes," Natsu nodded uncertainly. It looks like he hasn't really hunted yet. Aidan remembered that such things were not emphasized in Fairy Tail, but here consider real life, with guts and blood. Something is different, not always everything is as rosy as in a fairy tale.
