"… Fairy Tail?"

"Mmm-bgf—ffu-mmm…"

"… You got some on your cheek."

Avalon Railburn volunteered to wipe some of the strawberry-colored sweet and sour sauce that landed on Wendy Marvell's stuffed face. She was a small girl, who looked no older than 14, yet she ate eight times her body mass in the restaurant.

Steam Meat Buns. Roasted Peking Duck. Pork Dumplings. Chicken and Garlic Gyoza. Fried Eel in Oyster Sauce on Rice. Stir Fried Noodles with Squid Strips. Deep Fried Lamb. The works.

"… What's a Mage Guild?"

Avalon Railburn, a boy who wore a poncho, said that question the most innocent way possible. Wendy Marvell just stopped eating her food to stare at him as if he suddenly free three heads and a snake tail.

"You… don't know what a Mage Guild is?"

"I'm not an idiot. I know what a Mage is, but what's a Guild?"

"That's where Mages gather together in a building and find work."

"… Oh! You mean like the Magic Clubs that rich girls go to after school, right?"

"… Heh?"

The piece of deep fried lamb meat slipped from Wendy's fork. She didn't care, she could only stare. Meanwhile, Avalon was taking a bit from his Roast Duck Leg, which he would claim it tasted like chicken.

"Yeah. It's those special activities groups that girls from rich family would often attend. They focus on using magic as an art or training for sports. Which type is your club? The Sexy Swimsuit Club? The Sexy Flower Arrangement Club? The Sexy Tea Ceremony Club."

"W-w-wait, wait, wait! Th-that's not the type of Guild I come from! An-and why did you add 'sexy' in all of them!?"

"Meh. Sounds better to the ears, don't you agree?"

"N-no. I-it's embarrassing."

Wendy Marvell tried to change the subject by drinking her Oolong tea to calm her nerves.

"I'm from Fairy Tail. A Mage. I take requests handed in by the city of Magnolia, and we do our best to fulfill them by using our magic. It could involve fighting a monster, fixing a problem only Mages could deal with, or acquire something that a regular traveler could not obtain easily."

"…"

"Wh-why are you giving me that look? W-was my explanation boring?"

"Nah. It's what you Mage Guild guys do on a daily basis is what's boring."

"I'm hurt!"

"Where? Do you want big brother to rub the pain away?"

For once, Wendy Marvell played with her food and it involved throwing it at Avalon's face.
