Of course, such thoughts could only be entertained in his mind.
If his partner heard him, she would surely burst into tears.
"If you like it, then it's yours," Aux conceded.
The content of this request was quite complex; if it weren't for the valuable reward, he wouldn't even bother looking at it.
Since Levy wanted to take on this request, he would let her have it. Once she completed the mission and got the book, he would just borrow it for a couple of days.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Levy was ecstatic.
She happily hugged the request, her face beaming with a cute smile.
Her smile was so sweet that Aux was momentarily captivated.
However, his eyes inadvertently glanced at her unremarkable chest, and his heart instantly became as still as water.
Although he had a mind to raise her himself...
Given Levy's small physique, no matter how much she grew, she could never reach the scale of Cana or Ikaruga.
If he were to raise a loli!
Wendy clearly had more potential than Levy; at the very least, Wendy from the Edolas world was quite developed!
"Work hard. When you get the Mage book, lend it to me for two days," Aux said.
He casually tore off another job from the request board.
He went with Levy to Mirajane for registration.
"Oh my, oh my... Your two job locations are very close," Mirajane said.
Aux was also surprised to see the request locations.
Although they weren't in the same town, they were adjacent to each other.
"Then, Aux, do you want to take the train together?" Levy asked.
"Okay," Aux agreed.
He went back to pack his luggage.
Soon, Aux met up with Levy's Shadow Gear team.
The train sped along.
Aux and Levy sat on one side, while across from them were the unresigned Jet and Droy.
"I should be sitting next to Levy!"
"No, I should!"
"You can't do it. Protecting Levy is my job..."
"You're so weak. I'm different; I can carry Levy and quickly escape danger."
"You're full of it, Levy, tell us, who's better between the two of us?"
"You should ask who is a better match for Levy!"
The two guys were constantly bickering and competing for attention.
At first, they argued about the seats, then they started comparing their strength.
Eventually, it even escalated to the point of marriage!
Levy was feeling down; she really couldn't answer her partners' questions.
Marriage was still a long way off.
Moreover, she didn't quite think highly of them, so at this moment, she could only remain silent.
"Is it meaningful for you two to discuss such things in front of me?"
Aux helped defuse the situation, revealing a warm, friendly smile, "In terms of looks, you two are no good. In terms of talent, you two are no good. In terms of strength, you two are even worse!"
At the same time, he directly raised his hand and hooked Levy's shoulder, pulling her close to him, "If it's about marriage, you should choose me!"
What!!!
Jet and Droy went crazy.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and their gazes seemed as if they wanted to kill Aux!
"Don't be like that..."
Levy was still a bit dazed. She tried to struggle but it was no use, so she passively blushed and leaned on Aux to appease her partners.
As the saying goes, a maiden's blush surpasses everything!
Jet and Droy felt as if they had been pierced by a thousand arrows; Levy's lack of resistance seemed to indicate her approval.
Both felt the world plunge into darkness!
"Levy, you need to eat more. You're so thin I can pick you up with one hand," Aux said.
At the same time, he withdrew the arm he had around her.
Levy then smiled and moved a little to the side. Seeing her two partners' expressions, she didn't dare to speak.
"You two are too green, and most importantly, you're not handsome enough!" Aux said.
The two guys had nothing to say.
They were already disheartened, and nothing in the world could pique their interest.
"What kind of magic does Levy use..."
"Solid Script..."
Aux ignored the two guys and started chatting with Levy.
Levy also answered seriously.
After a few exchanges, they became very familiar, and laughter constantly echoed.
With various jokes from his previous life...
Aux could easily make cheerful girls laugh, and the two chatted to their heart's content.
But for Jet and Droy, it was torture.
"Ding-dong... The train has arrived at the station... Passengers wishing to alight, please..."
Unknowingly, it was time for Aux to get off.
"I'm leaving first. If I finish my work quickly enough, I'll meet up with you guys then," Aux said.
Levy waved, "Good luck with your work!"
He got off!
The train restarted, and Levy kept waving from the window until she could no longer see him.
Aux looked up at the cloudy sky and frowned.
The request he accepted was to come to this city to deal with the dark clouds in the sky.
According to the client, it had been raining for ten consecutive days in this town, so they suspected that a Mage might be behind it.
Aux followed the address provided by the client and arrived at the town mayor's house.
"Welcome, Lord Mage... Lunch will be ready soon. Let's discuss work matters after we eat."
The mayor was a particularly corpulent, bald man. He grandly waved his hand, instructing the maids in his mansion to prepare food.
He showed enough respect for Aux.
The mayor ate good food, and Aux, uncharacteristically, had a hearty appetite and ate a lot.
After the meal.
The mayor explained the situation of their town in detail.
"Our town's terrain is relatively low, so occasional rain is not a problem, but it just keeps raining."
"It has now rained for a full ten days and ten nights. Although it's only a drizzle, we can't endure it raining so unrestrainedly."
"The most important thing is that the rain clouds only cover our town. I say it's because a Mage from a Dark Guild has taken an interest in us."
"This time, I also hope that the Mage from the Fairy Tail Guild can find the guy hiding in the shadows, and preferably kill him."
The mayor roared with agitated emotion.
Clearly, this ten-day continuous rain had made him lose his patience.
"Mayor, don't rush. First, tell me if you offended any Guilds or Mages from anywhere ten days ago or even earlier."
Aux considered this a minor matter.
Firstly, if it were a Mage from a Dark Guild, they would be perfectly capable of controlling water elements to wipe out the entire town.
Now it was just raining, and the rain was only a drizzle, so it was impossible to flood the entire town.
From the perspective of a Mage seeking revenge or retaliation, this was a thankless task.
If he were a water-controlling Mage seeking revenge on this town, he could completely destroy it in a more insane and direct way through other methods.
After hearing Aux's words, the mayor also recalled with a worried expression.
But soon, he suddenly froze, his expression becoming unpredictable.
Aux quickly asked, "Did you remember something?"
The mayor hesitated for a few seconds, then directly shook his head, indicating that he had not offended anyone.
This uncooperative attitude made Aux speechless.
If this guy wasn't telling the truth, then how was he supposed to investigate? Should he just disperse the dark clouds above?
