Strongest Man Is Homeless

It was late evening. The once noisy guild was already silent. It was time to close the guild but Mira had a problem. There was still a person in the guild. Once, he was a very bright and optimistic person but now look at him getting all drunk, washed up and cursing curses.

"*Hic *Hic Goddamnit!!! Zzzz *Snore Damnit curses!! *Snore"

She had a slight idea why he was like that. Mira chuckled. She trusted him that's why she left him in the hall and closed the gate.

......................

Next Day,

Richter woke up with a headache and all the noise around him.

"What the fuck?"

"Language!"

"Oh! oops sorry! Wait, where am I?", Richter woke up and started to look around him.

"You are still in the guild. How did you even get yourself drunk by orange juice?"

Looking towards the one who said that, he realised, "Oh Mira-san! Sorry, I took a quick nap here."

Mira face twitched. She was barely containing herself from laughing out loud. With a smile, she then said, "It's fine. No problem. You aren't going to do any more quest today?"

"Sigh, One is enough for today, I guess. I will go and take a rest today, Mira-san. Looks like my body is saying not to overwork myself."

"Your body will say lots of thing."

"Sorry?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"Besides, I will finally get a inn to stay tomorrow. I can take a break today."

After taking a 'quick nap', Richter was feeling quite juvilent right now. But just incase, he would take a rest today. He slept in the lodge provided by the guild.

.................

Another next day,

"How *hic* could you *hic* do me like *hic* this *hic*, Mira-san? That *hic* inn also *hic* god full."

Mira kept filling his cup, "Why are you drinking orange juice again?"

"I feel like crying *hic* Mira-san *hic*. You are so evil *hic*."

"Demons are meant to be evil, afterall."

"Hey, *hic* take taht bag. *hic* You are just *hic* being racist*hic*. She is a *hic* good demon. Take *hic* that *hic* back Racist, Mira*hic* sa Zzzzzzz."

"Richter, you're so naive. All demons are evil. She must have been only trying to use you."

..................

Richter woke up again with the same headache. Ugh, all the depression kept hitting him then. Sighing, he thought to not drink orange juice again. Damn that orange juice!

"You're finally awake."

That sweet voice, he recognized it although his head was still dizzy.

"Mira-san? So I skipped to the future this time too, didn't I?"

Mira chuckled at his words, "Yup, you did. You want a drink?"

"No, uggh! My head still hurts. I might do something stupid. I think I will go do some quests. I am fed up with this. It's been fucking 10 days already and whichever inn I go is full. Goddamnit!"

"Language!"

"Oops, sorry!"

"Maybe, a demon has cursed you."

"Why?"

"Cause it's a demon?"

"That's nonsense. Anyway, enough of the inn I will just find a room to rent."

"The rent in magnolia costs a lot, you know."

"I don't care. I am going to hunt some monsters."

Richter then ran to the quest board to find a monster exterminat6ion quest.

.......................

"I am hungry"

"Me too, Natsu. I want to eat fish."

After that upsetting train ride and hunger, he dragged his deadbeat body to the guild. As he tried to open the guild door, another hand also came at the same time to open the door. Both the person looked at each other and scowled, headbutting with angry expression.

"Get your hands off, you freezer jerk."

"You get your hands off, fire clown."

"I touched it first. Now, I am going to open it."

"No, I touched it first, slow lizard punk."

"What the hell did you say, pervert flasher?"

And as usual both got into a fight and rolled inside the guild.

*Slam!!!!!

A sudden loud slam to the desk got them distracted from their fight. They both looked towards the one doing that and got shocked. A worked up Mirajane? That's rare.

"No means no"

"But why not? I am strong enough to take on this quest."

"You can't. I already told you didn't I? Only under my supervision, you can accept the quests."

"But the thing is I am qualified to take this quest. Sigh, if I am not qualified then no one is. I am the strongest man afterall."

"Hmph!!", Mirajane pouted. 'Has he gone stupid? Did all those orange juice caused him some brain damage?'

""Yo Mira, We are back.""

"Welcome Natsu, Gray. Good job in completing the quest."

"Ahahaha! Thanks. So, who is he?", Natsu asked.

"Just a newbie."

"Excuse me! I am an experienced monster hunter. Hello! My name is Richter Quake."

"If you are so experienced as you say, then tell me the monster name?" Mira questioned.

Richter eyes darted from side to side as he said, "Monster Ape?"

It has been 4 years since he stayed in isolation, so he had forgotten many things except some cast in the anime. If not for the translation blessing granted, then it would have been a major problem for him in this world.

"See you don't even know it's name. And what's with the answer that seemed like question." Mira stared at him as she scolded him.

"But.....but I am the strongest man."

Mirajane sighed at his childish argument. She was about to reprimand him but Natsu got all worked up and with the menacing face intimated Richter, "Oi did you just say that you are the strongest?"

"Strongest man. Be precise."

"Whatever! Fight me. I challenge you. How dare you say you're the strongest!"

"Hah! Why should I? If I fight every pipsqueak on this world, what would happen to my precious time? Ever thought about?"

"What the hell? How dare you call me pipsqueak?"

"Hahahaha! He called you pipsqueak, Natsu." Gray laughed at Natsu from the sideline.

Richter then rememberd something. 'Oh wait! Isn't he the protagonist? What was his magic again? Power of friendship or something like that?'

"Wait a minute!" Everyone attention got towards Richter, he looked towards Natsu and said, "Are you Natsu dragneel?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Richter then looked towards Mira and said, "If I defeat him, then I should be qualified, right?"

Mira then pointed at both Natsu and Gray, "Defeat them both."

"Sure." Richter agreed. "So, Natsu right. I will accept your challenge but only at one condtion."

"What?"

"You will cover all the damage in the guild done in this whole fight."

"Tch!"

"WHY ARE YOU THE ONE DOING THAT MIRA-SAN? Anyway, your answer?"

"Sure why not."
