The Demon of The Fairies C1

"Hey Mira, can you get me some juice please?" requested Erza, sounding really exhausted upon returning from a quest.

"Alright, would you like furberry or hydramelon?" asked Mirajane.

"Furberry sounds great. Thanks."

Erza sat down by the bar, reflecting on the quest she just completed. There hadn't been any Reggrahs disturbing the villagers up until recently. Now, they're giving more problems than before.

Reggrahs are a species of lesser demons who like to play pranks on villagers and even steal their crops. They're not that difficult to defeat. Honestly, even Plue can defeat them by himself. This time however, their numbers were great, and they've become really smart. They were hiding all around the village and Erza was ordered by the master to handle this impromptu quest. Those Reggrahs were agile and small, finding them was indeed draining. It took Erza almost forever to hunt all of them down.

"…You go," a faint voice called out to Erza.

"Erza… Erza! Here's your juice." It was Mirajane, serving Erza the furberry juice that she ordered. "You seem occupied. Something the matter?" giggled Mirajane. "Is it Jellal?"

Erza blushed. "WHAT? NO!" she quickly replied. "I was thinking about the quest earlier on. Those Reggrahs were just getting on my nerves. I spent so much time on those lesser demons when I could have gone shopping for new clothes. I've got nothing to wear for tonight's slumber party."

Mirajane smiled, "You've got a lot of outfits to wear! And it's just a slumber party with us girls. It's not like anyone else will judge you or anything. If you'd like, I'll lend you some of my gowns."

"Nah. I guess it's ok. I'll just wear my bunny outfit."

Mirajane went back to continue her work. Erza, while drinking her juice, still had things going on her mind.

"MIRA!" Erza shouted randomly.

"Eh? Yes, Erza? Do you need anything else?" Mirajane asked in surprise.

"No, no. I was just thinking, when was the last time you went on a mission? I mean, you've got Lisanna and your powers back. Don't you wanna give it a try?"

"Hmm?" Mirajane started to ponder. "Yeah, now that you mention it, my last mission was The Beast incident. Yeah I have regained my will. Elfman also has definite control of his Beast Soul Takeover. Oh and Lisanna also seems to have improved in her magic a lot."

"Yeah Lisanna also has been taking quests with Lucy, Wendy and Juvia. Elfman too has got even more active since returning from Tenrou island."

"Hahaha, I guess you're right Erza! Oh how I miss doing quests sometimes, but I guess I'm still a little terrified since that incident," replied Mirajane with a slight smile.

"Why don't you try giving it a shot, Mira? The quest board is always filled with quests anyway. Plus, you're an S-Class! Most of them should be easy pie right?"

"Alright, Erza. You've succeeded in motivating. I'll take a quest soon."

"Great! Hmm I guess it's like old times, when we used to compete doing quests and all. Hah, I kinda miss our rivalry." Erza looked over to Gray and Natsu who were quarrelling across the guild. "Maybe those two might cease their rivalry as well one day."

Mirajane agreed with a smile. Inside, she felt a spark of encouragement to be less worried of her past and to take Erza's advice to do some quests.
