Laxus, on the other hand, doesn't care at all about his image.
He now wears a long face all the time, like a cool guy, to the point that even Lidas feels it's offensive to draw a smiley face on him.
"That's settled then."
Although Moen was a little helpless, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't force Lidas to do something he didn't want to do. After all, artists always have their own principles.
Instead of asking Lidas to draw a smiley face for Laxus, it would be better to find a way to reintegrate Laxus into the group.
"By the way, Lidas, what's your opinion on the matter I mentioned before about asking you to draw comics for my novel?"
Moen stopped talking about Laxus and changed the subject. He had rushed to finish the first version of the story in the past few days. After some revisions and polishing, it would be ready for publication. He not only wanted to publish the novel, but also the comic book version.
Adhering to the principle of keeping profits within the family, this comic was naturally drawn by our own people, and they will receive their share of the profits, which is essentially copyright development.
After that, movies and other projects can be put on the agenda, and the story of "Sherlock Holmes" will be incredibly popular in this world!
"Of course, no problem. I've almost finished reading the book, and I'm very interested in this. Moen, you're a genius!"
When Moen mentioned "Sherlock Holmes," Lidas's eyes lit up. He had already read the manuscript Moen had given him very carefully and thought the story was excellent.
Of course, even if the story is just so-so, he wouldn't refuse; it would simply be a matter of taking some time to help out.
"That's great, Lidas, thank you."
Moen smiled and extended his hand, giving Lidas a high five.
"I should be thanking you, Moen. By entrusting me with such a lucrative job, your book is sure to be a huge hit. I'll benefit from it too, and I might even be able to support myself for the rest of my life."
Lidas refused the thanks. Instead, he smiled and thanked Moen in return. He felt that his aesthetic sense was still quite good, and in his opinion, this book definitely had the potential to be a huge hit.
This made Lidas sigh in admiration. Moen was indeed a genius. Not only was his magic extremely powerful, but he was also able to create a work like "Sherlock Holmes".
In Lidas's opinion, the latter requires more talent than the former. Magical geniuses are not really rare in the Fairy Tail guild. There are several magical geniuses among the younger generation. But people who can write interesting stories are truly rare.
"It's just standing on the shoulders of giants."
Moen smiled and shook his head, not explaining anything further. He wouldn't say that he didn't write it; he'd already plagiarized, so why pretend to be a big shot? However, he didn't really think he was that great. Actually, he did have one impressive quality: he actually remembered the general plot!
This made him increasingly regretful, wondering why he hadn't watched more anime back then.
While Moen finished discussing the comic with Lidas, the little ones started pestering Charlotte with all sorts of questions, mainly about how to raise little Happy.
"Xia Lulu, what should we feed Happy?"
"Is it okay to eat fish?"
"Cats probably like to eat fish, right?"
"Xia Lulu, what do you like to eat?"
Xia Lulu was getting annoyed by the barrage of questions.
"I like drinking tea. You can feed him anything you want. He can eat anything that humans can eat. We're not that precious."
Xia Lulu spoke up, wanting to get rid of these guys as soon as possible.
"Let's go catch some fish! We'll grill some for Happy!"
Having received Xia Lulu's answer, the children swarmed out, eager to catch fish with the newly hatched Harpy.
"Wait a minute, I suggest we give him milk first. Isn't it a bit too early to feed him fish? Magical creatures shouldn't be raised so roughly."
Moen spoke up to stop the children. How should I put it? Letting them raise them like this wouldn't necessarily kill them, but it felt like Harby would suffer a lot. How could a bunch of little guys possibly understand how to raise children?
"is that so?"
Natsu and the others exchanged glances, then looked at Charlene.
"Um, maybe. I...I don't know!"
Xia Lulu felt a little embarrassed by everyone's gaze. She was still very young and didn't know anything about these things!
However, she was not that delicate. She had many memories from birth and had experienced many hardships in the forest.
To be precise, Xia Lulu only truly started living a good life after meeting Wendy, meaning she didn't really have many good days.
"Sister Airo! Some milk, please!"
Trusting Moen, Natsu didn't try to catch any more fish. Instead, he asked Airo for some milk and gave Happy some to drink first.
'The Transcendent One doesn't seem dangerous at all.'
At the bar, Makarov silently observed Charlotte and Happy. He eventually concluded that the "Transcendent" creatures didn't seem to pose much of a danger, and their magic wasn't particularly strong.
'Stay and see.'
Since there was no real danger, Makarov naturally wouldn't do anything more.
The old man was always tolerant; except when dealing with those who hurt the guild's members, he was almost always smiling.
The children gathered around the bar, waiting for Sister Airo to serve the food. As the receptionist, Airo truly wore many hats. If it weren't for Little Rachi, she would be too busy to handle anything all day.
"Actually, Mira and Elfman can both help. Although my skills are just average, I can still lend a hand!"
Lisanna sat on a bar stool, leaning over the bar counter watching Elo bustling around, and offered to help out.
"When it comes to cooking, I am indeed quite good at it, but I am nowhere near as good as Mila."
Elfman said that, strangely enough, his dark-skinned physical education student appearance made him seem like a stay-at-home husband without any sense of incongruity. It could only be said that he was usually too kind and gentle, which did not match his rugged appearance very well.
"Mira can cook? Are you talking about this Mira?"
Hearing what Lisanna and Elfman said, Moen looked surprised. He looked at Mirajane next to him, who looked like a delinquent, and couldn't associate her with "cooking very well".
"What's wrong?! Is this so strange?!"
Mirajane snorted and turned her head away; she didn't deny it.
"It's not surprising when you think about it. After all, she's the eldest sister who takes care of her younger siblings all by herself, so it's normal for her to have good cooking skills."
Moen thought about it and realized that it made a lot of sense. Mirajane's cooking skills were probably honed by the hardships of life.
"That's right, my sister often cooks for us!"
Lisanna and Elfman both agreed with Moen's statement that Mirajane's culinary skills were honed by cooking for them since she was a child.
Later, when they got a little older, they both started learning to cook, since the older sister sometimes had to go out to work to earn money, and they also needed to eat at home.
Children from poor families learn to be independent early, a story filled with hardship and tears.
Looking at it this way, the children who joined the Fairy Tail guild early on are actually quite lucky.
At least when living in a guild, you don't have to worry about all those messy things. You just need to learn magic and do commissions to earn money. Food, drink, and lodging can all be taken care of in the guild.
Everyone in the guild takes good care of these little guys. They often feed them and leave some simple tasks for them to do. The children in the guild are growing up in a loving environment.
"If I have the chance, I'd really like to try Mira's cooking."
Moen looked at Mirajane, who was wearing a crop top with her arms crossed in front of her chest, her expression slightly hesitant.
"Let's talk about it when we've saved enough money to move to our new place."
After thinking about it, Mirajane still refused. She was very busy right now and didn't have the time or the mood to cook.
Lisanna and Elfman are currently eating at the guild, and they'll be able to cook for themselves once they move to their new place.
Mirajane still longs for a home of her own, rather than living in a dormitory, even though the dormitory is quite lively.
"How much money do you need? I can lend it to you first."
Moen tilted his head and asked with some curiosity. He was not short of money because he didn't usually have many expenses. He could help anyone who needed money urgently.
"It hasn't been calculated yet, but it must be at least tens of millions of J, right?"
Mirajane was taken aback. Because she hadn't saved up much money yet, she hadn't calculated how much it would cost to build a house, but her initial estimate was that it would require at least tens of millions of J.
"That's true if it's in the city, but if it's in the suburbs, or in the East Forest like Granny Poliusica, then you won't need that much money."
Moen nodded, then put forward a new idea: building or buying a house in the city would indeed require a lot of money.
Because Magnolia is not some remote town; the economy here is quite good, so naturally, house prices are not cheap.
However, in the suburbs and the eastern forest, building a house doesn't require a high cost, because those areas are not under the protection of the Magnolia government. At the very least, you can save a lot on land costs, or even save half of the original budget.
There's no need to hire anyone to build a house. Fairy Tail can put together a construction team on its own. They can find the right people in the guild to draw blueprints, do carpentry, and build structures. That's the amazing thing about the Mage Guild.
"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for everyone?"
After hearing what Moen said, Mirajane was quite tempted. Building a house in the suburbs or the East Forest was indeed very cost-effective.
She hesitated, mainly because she felt it would be too much trouble for everyone. As for the potential safety hazards in the suburbs or the eastern forest, those were not a problem for the mages at all.
