Chapter 457: Come be my partner?
The guild was in complete chaos. On the first floor, tables and chairs were overturned everywhere. People were sprawled across the room in tangled heaps, most of them lying down, only a few still on their feet.
The second floor fared slightly better. Several members leaned lazily against the railing, watching the scene unfold with bored expressions. When they saw Master Makarov return, they quietly sat back down and resumed sipping their drinks, as if nothing unusual had happened.
Wendy had been trying to imagine how beautiful and magical Fairy Tail’s guildhall must be on the inside, but now, seeing it with her own eyes, she could only comment awkwardly, "It hasn’t changed at all..."
Carla nodded in agreement. "In a way, it’s exactly the same."
Lucy gave a helpless sigh. "As much as I’d love to defend the guild’s honor... this is just business as usual."
As soon as she stepped inside, Erza slipped into her disciplinarian mode.
"You’re all causing trouble for the Master again! Get up and start cleaning! I want this first floor back to normal! Macao, Wakaba, Nab, handle that side! Vijeeter, Max, you take care of this side! Honestly, we’re gone for just a few days and look at the mess!"
She barked orders with military precision, scolding and assigning tasks nonstop.
Wendy, a little overwhelmed, whispered, "Miss Erza is really strict..."
Mira gave a warm chuckle. "Don’t worry. She loosens up eventually."
Just then, Juvia barreled toward Gray with tears brimming in her eyes.
