The man-hunter went down one step and looked closely at the young guest:
- Hmm, who are you? If you have an order to make, then call me, the whole month is busy. If you have come to buy something, then the guy is already too late, come back tomorrow. Lauren will open a shop and buy what you want. - Yawning, the man was about to turn around, as Aidan pulled out a leaflet with an order and handed him:
"I'm a Fairy Tail wizard, on a mission.
- ABOUT! - the man rubbed his eyes and nodded: - That's it! I forgot that there are boys like you in the guild ... Ha, "the man waved his hand with a grin," Don't be angry, I've seen the boys of wizards, so I can't judge by their appearance anymore. Okay so ... '' Climbing the step, he shook his head:
- Come in, I'll explain everything to you as quickly as possible.
Ten minutes later, Aidan left the hunter's workshop and put on his hood again. In fact, nothing interesting happened inside, except for the sight of a dozen different stuffed animals that Aidan had seen for the first time. Well, so, according to the order, everything turned out, as in the leaflet - to get at least a dozen skins of a brown boar, the price for the skin is as much as five thousand precious ones. Moreover, there are ten thousand for gray boars. If you skin a dozen, that's fifty, and for a petty wizard that's a pretty decent fortune. You shouldn't have counted on an apartment in a good area, but renting it somewhere on the outskirts is quite enough, and you will also stay for food. In addition, this, not to mention the fact that the hunter does not mind accepting more of such skins.
"Killing animals is not a very pleasant experience, but I can do it. I can catch about thirty and you can make money for the first time, at the same time I will return the stolen from that fat man in Clover. By the way ... "- rummaging in his jacket pocket, Aidan pulled out a silver key and thoughtfully examined it:
- Hmm, crow key? Interesting ... - on the silver base of the key there was only one sign, and it looked like a gray crow's head. Aidan didn't think about it for too long and just pulled the key forward.
- Stargate, open up! - as soon as the words were spoken, a bright flash flashed right in front of the guy, and then the Celestial Spirit appeared!
- Ugh! Liberty! Ka-a-ar!
No sooner had he appeared than squeaky curses filled the street. The snow-white disheveled bird croaked and spat, and then jumped into the water and quacked contentedly:
- Haaa, nice! Shit world of spirits, stinking, ugly bastards, some little bitch whistled my key and hid some pig in the garbage can. Do you count the guy ?! This boar kept me on display for almost twenty years! Twenty fucking years! - Jumping ashore, the "raven" shook himself off and smacking his lips looked at his summoner:
- Yoho-oh-oh, have you been fed by the owner for a long time? I'd lay eggs for you, but you know what?
The raven was clearly waiting for an answer, its gray, quivering beak and legs shifting from foot to foot clearly spoke of great impatience. This impudent bird was definitely eager to chat. Therefore, Aidan sighed and asked:
- And what?
- Ha! My balls are too tough for you! Kar-ra-ra-ra! Heh ... - rummaging in feathers, the raven sucked in his neck and hissed: - Hey, that is cold! You know, I hate water, so I would have drowned that fat pig, along with his cow wife! Kar-ra-ra-ra!
Aidan was already beginning to regret having summoned this spirit and pulled out the key to close the gate, but the raven immediately understood everything and squealed:
- Wait a minute! Brother, forgive the old man! I love to scratch with my beak, I also love to eat fish, and also to chase smelly cats! By the way, once I met one mile gu ... Aaa! Oh you! How inhuman! - Before he had time to finish the curse, the gates closed. Aidan wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly left the street. He could not even imagine what would call the crazy crow. It seems that you should call him only in case of heavy drinking, when there is no one to chat with. Although even if this "goose" did not get into the soup for his bird's tongue ...
A few minutes later, Aidan returned to the guild, grabbed a drink from the bar, and settled down at one of the tables. On the way, he looked into Fairy Hills and checked on Wendy. The spiteful old woman, the hostess, of course, did not give him a step to enter the women's hostel, but Erza, who appeared on time, still told him the good news, even brought her sweet sister to wish her brother good night. They found a common language with Kana and it looks like Erza too, so the girl will definitely have a pleasant company. Therefore, she was hardly upset when Aidan left. Saying goodbye to the three girls, he went to the guild, because there was no home yet.
At this hour, the guild was almost empty, there were only a couple of drunks who had not yet managed to crawl home, but their comrades were dragging them out. There were no youngsters at all, Gray and Natsu disappeared somewhere. The bartender was not there, and the Master even more so, so that the next night Aidan decided to drink alone before the hard days.
- Uhh, she went well! - while drinking a strange-tasting mash, the guy got hungry and decided to go to the kitchen. Fortunately, in the morning Erza had already shown everything, so he quickly found everything, though he got lost a little ...
- ABOUT! - Before he had time to enter, he ran into someone he knew. In the middle of the kitchen, a pink-haired guy was sitting right at the table, eating meat.
- Hi Natsu!
- Ha, Aid, how are you? Sit down to eat!
- I will not refuse.
Natsu deftly took out a plate and threw to a friend:
- Juice?
- I have it with me, Aidan grinned, drinking a strange drink.
"Okay, hold on then." Taking the cutlery, Aidan was surprised at Dragneel's calm demeanor. Usually he did not behave so cordially and calmly, but it seems that towards evening his cheerfulness subsided a little. Perhaps this is even for the best.
Aidan began to eat meat and drink it all down. Silence reigned in the kitchen for almost ten minutes, sometimes interrupted by Natsu's chomping. But, after a while, the guy finally could not stand it and still asked:
- How did you defeat Erza ?! What kind of magic do you have ?! Let's brush it off somehow ?!
- Oh, Natsu ... I really thought ... - Aidan shook his head: - I don't mind, but come on later. I'm tired today ... Yes, and I have a task tomorrow.
- ABOUT! What kind of task? Can I come with you?
- Well ... - Aidan thoughtfully scratched his head and nevertheless nodded: - Just don't make a lot of noise, we'll go hunting wild boars.
- True?! - beaming with joy, the guy laughed: - Finally! And then this Erza always does not allow me to take on a major business! Already tired of catching all sorts of dogs and working as a delivery boy.
- Ha ... - Aidan leaned back in his chair and asked: - I heard you in the guild for over a month. How do you like it here?
- Are you kidding? Fairy Tail is the best guild!
Aidan laughed, this guy is really too simple, not a single cunning emotion, just a cheerful boy with a kind look. Still, there are things that do not change, it seems this is just about him ...
So the two friends chatted for another hour, and after that Natsu just snored at the table. Aidan decided not to wake him up and went to the bar himself, someone had already carefully put out the light, and only a couple of lamps lit up the hall. Therefore, Aidan yawned and fell right on the bench along with a bottle of new booze. Tomorrow is a difficult day, it was worth a little rest ...
