Mission 4 [voice]

[Erza is affected by this, and her thoughts will be in red.]

With all of the new people that were brought here in the past month, has anybody seen any new arrivals claiming to be members of the Fairy Tail guild?

I hope Gerard didn't show up... I still don't know what I would say to him if I met him here...

Also, I'm opening a branch of Fairy Tail here; it will give me something to do with my free time. And it will help me meet new people, hopefully. If you have any questions about the work we do, or any jobs that need done, feel free to ask over the journal. I haven't came up with any sort of reward system yet, seeing as this place has no money, so in the meantime, any tasks you have will be done for free, if I consider them acceptable. I'm not going to give out where I live just yet; there have been too many murders and kidnappings lately.

[/facepalm. I don't think Erza's found out about the experiment yet.]

What do you mean by that?

Your thoughts are showing. [Poor Erza.]

Really? ...Well, that's inconvenient.

Back home, our guild has a reputation for causing a lot of property damage on our missions; my group in particular seems to cause the most, no matter how hard I try to get them under control. It seems like even the simplest of missions winds up with buildings being destroyed when I'm working with those idiots.

... What?

It doesn't matter as much here, seeing as rooms and buildings are re-built over time. There's probably nothing to worry about, seeing as Natsu isn't here.

Is he the one destroying things?

[She sighs.] Yes, usually. If his solution to a problem isn't punching its source, it's lighting the source on fire with magic. I can keep him under control, though. [And by that, she means that she's beaten him up enough times that he's too terrified to act when she's around.]

How is that even supposed to be helpful? [This guild is so strange. D:]

It seems like every single mission we go on devolves into one-on-one combat with powerful magic users. With so many mages up for hire in my world, even missions like bringing a rare book back to its rightful owner often turn violent.

That sounds pretty dangerous. That always happens?

Mainly just the missions that Natsu takes. It's probably just a coincidence, anyways - there are members that I'm more concerned about, and their missions have been completed without incidents like that.

So it's just him, huh? I'm surprised you guys don't get into more trouble.

Well, the council does reprimand us from time to time, but those are mostly formalities. Plus, we've saved the country, if not the world, enough times that they're willing to overlook most of our actions.

The Council...?

They were a group of mages who oversaw all of the legal guilds in the country. After two of their members were exposed as people who wanted to revive a powerful dark wizard, the council was disbanded and is in the process of being restructured. I can't say I agree with all of their decisions, but we have to follow them or risk losing our status as a legal guild.

[Huh.] You can't just make guilds on your own?

Any mage's guild has to at least follow the rules of the council and get their approval; otherwise, they become Dark Guilds and are not allowed to take most kinds of missions. Becoming a Dark Guild puts a serious mark on one's reputation.

I see. I didn't think they would require so many rules too.
