Magnolia Town, the annual Harvest Festival has arrived.
At this time, the entire town was bustling with people, and there were various shops on both sides of the road.
People from outside the city also came to watch the Magic Parade, which greatly boosted the economic prosperity.
Zorn and Cana were also shopping, and because Cana wanted to win first place in the competition, she was excitedly picking and choosing.
"Zorn, tell me, which one looks better, this one or that one!"
Cana immediately spotted two items displayed in the cabinet. After asking the salesperson to take them out, she held the clothes against her body and happily asked Zorn which one looked better.
"Well, of course, you look good, no matter what you wear, you look good!"
Zorn blurted out without a hint of hesitation. This answer clearly made Cana very happy, and she immediately turned around and asked the salesperson to wrap it up.
Zorn watched Cana excitedly pick out clothes, then turned his head to look at the bustling street opposite, and suddenly saw Lucy running towards them.
"Ah, the Fairy Tail Miss competition is about to begin, my rent, here I come…"
"Oh my, Lucy is really working hard!" Zorn sighed and gently turned to Cana in the shop, saying, "Cana, the competition is about to begin!"
"Ah, okay, okay, let's hurry too."
....
Inside the Guild Hall...
Zorn and Cana also arrived just in time for the competition to start. Cana went backstage first to change, while Zorn sat next to Laxus.
"Hello, Everyone, thank you for waiting!"
"Beautiful Fairies vie for beauty, the Miss Fairy Tail Contest officially begins, and I, Macao the Sand Magician, will be your host."
"Oh oh oh, yay!"
"Let's start quickly!"
Macao had only read a short opening speech, and the entire venue was already boiling. Everyone below was screaming and cheering, urging Macao to start the competition.
"Hey, Laxus, this isn't like you. I've noticed you've been getting lazier lately, not actively working!"
Zorn looked at Laxus, who was calmly sitting beside him, always staying in the Guild, and asked the question in his heart. Because before, Laxus could be considered a workaholic, often taking the Thunder God Tribe to perform S-rank missions, but ever since the Phantom Lord battle, he hadn't left the Guild again.
"Well, you'll know later!" Laxus glanced at Zorn with one eye, but didn't speak again, instead turning his attention back to the competition on stage.
Seeing Laxus at this moment, Zorn was a bit unsure what was going on, but Zorn was certain that the Fairy Tail civil war would not happen again, because so far, Laxus had changed a lot. Now he was just a bit tsundere in personality, but he still cared very much about his Guild mates.
"So, our first contestant is… the exotic beauty—Cana Alberona."
As Cana made her grand entrance, the entire audience once again erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Cana's popularity remained very high.
"Now it's time for the magic display segment," Macao reported the process passionately into the microphone from behind.
Cana took out a stack of cards and casually tossed them into the air. Under the control of her magic, Cana was completely enveloped. After a flash of light,
Cana appeared wearing a leather top and pants, holding a huge slate in her hand. Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, she threw it up, continuously punched it, and pulverized it into dust. She looked at the audience below with a haughty expression. This transformation made the audience below scream even louder, and some individuals even secretly looked at Zorn with sympathetic eyes.
Even Laxus looked at Zorn with an expression that said, "You're strong."
This scene also made Zorn laugh and cry at the same time.
Backstage, Lucy, peeking from behind the curtain, also looked at Cana on stage with a shocked expression: "She seems like a formidable opponent, my rent!"
"Indeed, this is a bit difficult now. Should I change my outfit!" Erza and Lucy also secretly observed everything on stage to prepare themselves.
"Our next lovely contestant, though a newcomer, possesses immense power, the good girl who never stops raining—that's Juvia Lockser!"
As the host introduced her, Juvia enthusiastically greeted the audience, and also looked at Gray with affectionate eyes, "Gray-sama, this is my passion for you!"
As her body transformed into flowing water, Juvia appeared before Everyone in a swimsuit with a spin. The audience below screamed even more, one after another.
This phenomenon made Lucy backstage even more indignant: "Juvia, using sexiness to win hearts, damn it, I definitely won't lose!"
Erza also agreed, making a firm decision in her heart that she too would break from her conventional image and win this competition with a completely new look.
"Yosh, next up are three on stage: Mirajane, known as the Demon, and the lovely Lisanna, and Lisanna."
"Lisanna, Lisanna, look here!!!"
"Mirajane, good, this outfit suits you very well!"
After the three sisters appeared on stage, the crowd below, who had been eagerly anticipating them, became even more boisterous.
Mirajane and her two sisters also responded to the crowd's enthusiasm. The light of transformation magic flashed, and all of them transformed into beast-eared maid outfits. This fatal blow directly made the audience below cheer even more wildly.
Even Zorn could feel at this moment that Laxus's gaze was unusual, his fiery eyes fixed on Mirajane on stage.
"Next up is the Fairy Queen of the Guild! Erza!"
Upon hearing this, Erza performed several backflips directly from backstage, excitedly standing on stage.
As the light of her Re-equip Magic flashed, a Gothic Lolita style outfit appeared before Everyone, though this change was a bit hard for some audience members to adapt to.
Afterward, several other female members of the Fairy Tail Guild also showed off their various magic and advantages, putting immense pressure on Lucy, who was the final act.
Lucy, who had originally only planned to wear a cheerleader outfit, directly changed into a bunny girl costume. Lucy was going all out to win, and with the help of her Celestial Spirits, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Princess, please whip me hard!"
However, after summoning Virgo—Virgo, Lucy was driven to distraction. Virgo had directly tied herself up and calmly offered the whip in her hand, wanting Lucy to punish her.
The competition concluded perfectly amidst the clamor, and the members excitedly and happily cast their votes into the boxes of the people they approved of.
At this time, Laxus and Zorn were called together by the Guild Master into a room in the Guild, saying that they had received a mission assignment and hoped that Fairy Tail would send Magicians to resolve it.
