Chapter 102: Vengeance is true Equality.

~Mirajane S. POV~

[October 4, X784]

Currently, today is the day I come out of retirement after being inactive for a long while when I asked Master the news, he sure was surprised.

But I was more surprised when he requested me to be on a team with Silva. Have to say that surprised me but I wouldn't doubt it.

The only reason why I would come out of retirement is that training isn't going to help me much since I'm regaining my Magic Power again.

Thus, I was left with no choice but to test myself out in the field again. I was thinking of teaming up with Elfman to help me regain my confidence, but it seems like fate has other plans.

Not that I disagree in fact I find it perfectly convenient since I'm teamed up with the tin can and water woman.

Those two are S-Class in terms of power and there's Silva giving me a good challenge. Although the threat of him being targeted isn't sound the Master said till I deem him to be an S-Class Candidate to take care of himself.

What a lucky man having 3 beauties around him. And unlike most male members in the guild, he will be fun to tease as most wouldn't hesitate to be pervy or lewd around Erza.

For him to be honest throughout the whole ordeal about Juvia already has a good impression of the man. That and I know for a fact a small pervert freezing up about, to tell the truth only for Master to intervene in just the nick of time.

Tch.

He got lucky on that one.

But the point is his going to be fun teasing with him becoming a mess around me. Although I think he would look cute if he cried like Natsu.

I'm thinking of messing with Erza again for old-time's sake. I mean when she mentioned that I might've had a thing with Silva it was quite hilarious to think about at the time.

And knowing her she would get flustered just teasing her lightly that I was at the time to make her freeze and panic at the idea when she returned from a job. It was totally worth it to make her fluster.

Never knew the tin can had it in her. Then became a game where she thinks I'm in love with Silva to which I'm not in the least.

As a friend yes, I would gladly say. But for lover status….

That remains to be seen considering his helping me retain my Magic Power again but even he has a life than training. And I need to get myself back into the field again doing job requests.

Considering I'm slowly regaining my old self again I need to regain my bearings of danger again along with using my head.

Never really did like anyone calling me stupid as it pisses me the hell off or into depression. For now, though for as long as I'm in a team with them it will be an entertaining experience to work with them.

It's best to greet them in my workplace as Head Waitress. This will also help the tin can and water woman best get along from what I heard of their previous job.

That's no good.

Besties shouldn't be fighting with each other unless I cause it.

Moving on though I managed to see the team I'm assigned with as they are helping me with me doing some minor duties attending as being Head Waitress to Erza and Juvia in waitress uniforms, "Thanks for helping me out here you two! I very much appreciate the help here before moving to job requests. With more free time I have only 3 days to work as the Head Waitress while assigning you all some requests."

Erza in her maid uniform merely nods in agreement after some persuasion in understanding of their prior job, "I understand. Despite this, I won't lose yet!"

Cute.

Juvia for her part has fire in her eyes in agreement not giving up either much to my personal amusement, "Juvia won't give up either Erza-san!! Despite you getting the lead Juvia will be at the finish line!!"

I could see sparks fly with the two clashing between their intense gazes. You know if they wanted to solve this issue why not share the guy?

It's not that uncommon between Wizards of both genders. I mean only the entire population of Earthland is 90% normal people while the rare 10% are the ones who wield Magic.

That and it's not uncommon to see harems for that reason or you're simply a noble to be able to afford their mistress's attention along with Jewel cost to keep their happy woman.

But to each their own opinion on the matter. It's not my personal business if they figured that out or not…

Actually, I'm kind of glad I didn't tell them if only to see the tin can squirm a bit. She seems to be unaware of how dense Silva is to them in love or is too shy to speak out about it.

Hmm…

No, his probably just shy about it. Or his respecting their privacy.

Speaking about the man in question…

Turning my attention back to the barkeep kitchen I saw the man in question cooking up some dishes from the guild I had him do prior before taking the role of cooking dishes from the Guild Menu along with some demonstrations.

Have to say he certainly has a talent for cooking. And every man or woman loves a guy who can cook good food.

*Shiii*

*Wooosh*

Judging from the smell I can see his pretty good at cooking with some practice of our guild menu going over with Elfman helping to sniff the guild taste tester, "Tell me how this smells or taste? Did it pass your high expectations gentleman senior chief Elfman?"

He had a smug grin while Elfman frowned not liking to be called by gentleman-like words for him as I helplessly shook my head observing their actions taking a bite of the Magi Beast Steak with his eyes widening.

gulping down the piece of meat Elfman smiled but looked surprised complimenting the food with such glee, "Amazing…!! This Magi Beast Steak taste fucking Manly!!!! Seriously what did you use to cook it? It could taste better than my own cooking back in the day."

Oh, this looks great!

Seems like Elfman has taken some interest with the newbie outside of sparing practices between them in their fondness of cooking. I recall when Elfman used to cook when he was so young and innocent.

Such good times…

…

Shaking my head those good times are still possible when I get strong enough. Then all 3 of us could be here together again no matter what.

It's the eldest sister's job to protect her siblings and I didn't know before till I was shown from an outside perspective.

Before I could continue thinking I was frozen stiff listening to Silva's next words making Elfman cough surprised by his words, "Say Elfman between you and Mira would she freak out if you ever got married first? Or would you have the 'talk' between you two away from your bride one day?"

"Cough!!"

Ack…!!!

I don't know why but I felt that one stung more than any kind of battle I fought in my lifetime?!!

Marriage?!!

I mean Elfman is at that respectable age but his not going to get hitched – no wait a second Mirajane…

Taking a close look I saw Silva's eyes tilt in my direction winking with a sadistic grin plastered on his face.

Oh this boy is so getting -

Before I could continue my train of thought he shifts to Elfman blundering and embarrassed by the sudden question before genuinely getting curious himself, "Wha—What?!!! I mean I'm not exactly sure but me ahead of Mira in marriage and surprising her… Hell, even I don't know what to think about the idea. Would she reject the girl I love if she doesn't like her, or would she accept? Huh… that's a very manly point."

Nononono!!

You aren't supposed to be thinking those things!

Nor would you get ahead of me in that area either!

Oh, God do I have to actually start talking about that kind of 'talks' with Elfman about girls and marriages?

I'm not ready for that kind of discussion!!

God, damn it, Knights!!

Levy, Lucy, and Cana is correct about you!!

Your a very bad man and sadistic equalist!!

I take it back you're an incredibly bad influence on Elfman!!

Curse you!!!!

Listening intently to their conversation Silva continued with a shrug with a mischief grin replying to Elfman causing him to cough a storm, "You know I think you and Evergreen would make for an interesting couple. With a wedding and bells all over. I can even metaphorically hear them in the future."

Wait Elfman and Evergreen...

Ack!!!

Clenching my metaphorical heart foaming at the mouth imagining such a future...

Can't take it!!!

Mirajane.Exe….

Shutting down…

*Thud*

~Silva K. POV~

*Thud*

After speaking those we both listened to the sounds of someone falling but we simply ignored them as another brawl was happening at the time with Elfman regaining his composure, "What the heck!! Why would you assume I would be a good match with one of the members of the Thunder God Tribe?!"

Shrugging I merely stated an open opinion towards the big guy continuing my duties as a chief seeing Mira fall from the news, "Why not? I merely thought you two would be a unique couple in my eyes. Unless you have someone in mind already?"

Raising an eyebrow Elfman humbly shook his head busy helping me gather some other spices for the other menu items, "Yeah, no way man. While I'm in my prime I'm not interested in searching for a significant other at this time. Maybe in the future but for now I'm a single manly man!"

Turning around and leaving while I casually cooked the next set of dishes soon enough, I heard Elfman yelling in shock at Mira's condition as I whistled innocently in peace, "Ah!! Mira what happened to you!! You were fine just a few minutes ago why are knocked out!"

I took in the amusement of concentrating my senses to my hearing Mirajane mumble silently in her personalized nightmares of what I just said, "Elfman and Evergreen… babies first one… can't comprehend… shock…. But it's the eldest job to be the first… blegh…"

Poor Mira…

If only she hadn't tried that stunt the other day trying to expose me like that, I would have something to care about…

But frankly, I'm a firm believer that vengeance has no favoritism in gender hence being the true way of gender equality.

It was either that or use my Gaea Foundation to transform into a humanoid cochroach from the Terra Formars anime disgusting bug creatures on her one day.

Although I wasn't sure if she would die from shock or kill me on site if I did but I'll shelve that idea for a perfect oppertunity if she tried that stunt the other day with me again.

Before I could contemplate some more, I looked over my side of the dishes prepared handing them out to the other bar waitress with Erza and Juvia gaining some points from the other male members shaking my head at them.

Ignoring them for a moment I saw Lucy and Levy waving their hands at me with Jewels at the ready wanting to eat from the menu as Lucy spoke out, "Yo Silva! You're the one cooking huh? Can you come over and get our orders? Levy has got to taste your cooking!!"

I gave them a curt now with a smile heading in their direction as I yelled back, "Sure! Just give me a second!"

Man who knew cooking would be this much fun!

Maybe once I retire, I can be chief or potion maker when the Guild disbands seems like a unique way to pass the time while on the grind.

But for now, since I'm helping at the guild for plenty of days and odd job requests with Erza, Mira, and Juvia why not have some fun before the next arc right?

[<Cooking > LEVEL UP!]

[<Cooking > LEVEL UP!]

[<Cooking > LEVEL UP!]

And what better way than to grind out that <Cooking > skill to the max?

Can't wait for the day when I grind my <Cooking > skill to the max and serve everyone a party when I unlock the <Foodgasm > surprising everyone…

Muhahaha!!!!
