When Zeros saw that it wasn't a monster, his vigilance eased slightly. Although he was somewhat surprised to encounter these three people here, he wasn't really astonished.

During the six months he spent in Loran Town, he never encountered these three people, who had obviously only recently come from other parts of the kingdom.

As for the reason for coming here, it's obvious that it's because of the Beast King Mountains.

However, he did not expect that the three of them would come to such a deep place in the Beast King Mountain Range. It seems that they are very confident in their own strength.

Thinking of this, his gaze involuntarily swept over Mirajane, the strongest of the three.

"that...."

Perhaps because Zeros was handsome and had an extraordinary air about him, Lisanna wasn't reserved despite being a stranger. With a sweet smile on her face, she stepped forward and said, "Your grilled meat smells so good! We haven't eaten anything since we got here. Could you share some with us?"

As she spoke, she widened her eyes, looking at Zeros with a pitiful expression and anticipation.

To this, Zeros simply said, "Whatever."

"Thank you so much!"

Although Zeros's tone was extremely calm, Lisanna still expressed her sincere gratitude.

Mirajane and Elfman thanked Zeros, then quickly walked to the campfire and began to eat without any restraint. They were clearly starving.

Lisanna, on the other hand, maintained a semblance of ladylike image with her slow and deliberate eating. As for Mirajane, judging from her delinquent-girl attire, she probably didn't care about maintaining a ladylike image at all.

Zeros leaned against the big tree, quietly watching the three of them.

But at that moment, his gaze suddenly sharpened, falling on Lisanna's smooth left arm, where a red emblem was engraved. Zeros was familiar with the emblem, as he had seen it countless times in the Magic Weekly.

It's from that guild!

Lisanna noticed Zeros's gaze at that moment, stopped eating, and asked in confusion, "Hmm? Is something the matter?"

"No." Zeros looked away and shook his head.

Lisanna responded with an "oh," though she still had some doubts, she didn't ask any further questions.

"Um..." After a moment of hesitation, Zeros suddenly spoke up, "Are you mages from Fairy Tail?"

The crest engraved on Lisanna's left arm is the guild crest of the magic guild 'Fairy Tail'.

"yes!"

Lisanna smiled and nodded. She glanced at the emblem on her left arm and knew what Zeros had been looking at.

"I'm Lisanna, a mage from Fairy Tail. This is Mirajane, and this is Elfman. We're all mages from Fairy Tail!" Lisanna's smile grew wider as she spoke, clearly very proud of being a Fairy Tail mage.

"Big brother, what about you?" Lisanna asked Zeros.

Mirajane and Elfman also turned their gazes toward Zeros, clearly showing that both of them had some interest in him.

After all, the fact that Zeros is here means that he must be a powerful mage.

"Zeros," Zeros said calmly, "a wandering mage!"

Upon hearing Zeros's brief introduction, the three nodded slightly. They were not too surprised that Zeros was a wandering mage.

In this world, although most mages choose to join a mage guild, there are still many mages without a home, and these mages are collectively known as wandering mages.

In Mirajane's opinion, it would be more reasonable for Zeros to be a wandering mage. After all, if Zeros were a member of a legitimate guild, he would definitely be at the top of the "Want to Be a Boyfriend" list in the Magic Weekly, or even at the top, given his good looks and charisma.

"Then I'll call you Brother Zeros." Lisanna smiled sweetly, and her sweet smile and clear voice made it impossible for Zeros to refuse.

Seeing that Zeros remained silent, Lisanna naturally assumed that he had tacitly agreed, and cheerfully called out "Brother Zeros" again, leaving Zeros speechless. This girl... was far too naive...

At this moment, Mirajane, who was standing to the side, had also finished eating. She tossed aside a leftover bone, looked at Zeros, and said, "Thank you for the meal!"

"Although Lisanna already said it once, I still feel it's necessary to introduce myself," Mirajane began. "My name is Mirajane, and I'm a mage from Fairy Tail!"

Zeros narrowed her eyes slightly, meeting Mirajane's gaze, and said softly, "I know..."

"I do know Mirajane, the infamous S-class mage from Fairy Tail!"
