Chapter 83 Let Me Show You the World (Please Subscribe!)

In an awkward atmosphere, Mira's family's housewarming party came to an end. Lisanna silently stuck out her little pink tongue, feeling that she might have said something wrong, which made the atmosphere a little strange afterwards.

But that was her true feeling. The gentle yet dignified Moen was like a father in a family, while Erza, though a little strict, taught and cared for everyone like a mother. Mira was like a mother to everyone. She felt that what she said was not wrong.

It's normal for Lisanna, who has no memories of her parents growing up, to have these feelings. She still longs for and loves the atmosphere of a warm family. Although she is not lacking in love because she has her older sister and brother to take care of her, the absence of her parents will still have an impact on her, which is unavoidable.

"Lisanna didn't do anything wrong, she was just joking. Mira overreacted. Your sister is surprisingly thin-skinned."

As the event was about to end, Moen found Lisanna, bent down, patted her head, and whispered something. He noticed that Lisanna seemed a little aggrieved after being scolded by Mira, so he came over to comfort the little one.

"My sister might not dislike what I said."

Looking at Moen, Lisanna muttered to herself, "This girl is actually quite bold. Beneath her cute appearance lies a straightforward heart. She really speaks without thinking."

"."

Moen was speechless for a moment. He thought these kids were a bit precocious, but he could probably understand that what Lisanna was talking about didn't involve romantic love. It was more of a longing for a family atmosphere, a desire to make up for the absence of parents.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Mira peeked over, looking suspiciously at the two suspicious-looking figures, one big and one small.

"Ahem, it's nothing. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Mira. Your cooking skills certainly didn't disappoint me."

Moen stood up, smiled at Mira, and immediately changed the subject.

"Of course! I've always been a great cook."

Mira looked confident; she was quite pleased with the praise she received today, especially since even Erza admired her. This was what made her feel the best!

I will pay you back your money soon.

After celebrating, Mira continued, saying that she still remembered her debt. Although Moen said he wasn't in a hurry to use it, she couldn't really say she wasn't in a hurry to pay it back just because Moen wasn't.

"Don't worry about it, Mira, really, I'm not short of money."

Moen's expression was a little helpless. Although what he said sounded a bit Versailles-like, it was true that he really wasn't short of money.

Moreover, after the publication of "Sherlock Holmes," he will be even less short of money, and soon money will just be a string of numbers to him.

Moen no longer cares about the rewards when he goes out on missions. He simply goes out to find people or monsters to fight, to get real combat experience and hone his skills.

Speaking of "Sherlock Holmes," it's ready for release now, with distribution channels spread throughout the entire Kingdom of Fiore.

Sorcerer, the publisher that signed a contract with Moen, was very confident in the story and gave it top-level publicity.

This publisher is the same one that publishes the magazine "Mage Weekly". It's a very famous publisher throughout the Kingdom of Fiore, no, it's very well-known throughout the entire continent of Ishgar. "Mage Weekly" is indeed a bestseller.

So much so that "Sherlock Holmes" even used this "Magic Weekly" magazine for promotion, and now it's almost ready to go.

According to Sorcerer Publishing, once it becomes a hit in the Kingdom of Fiore, they will immediately set up sales channels throughout the entire continent of Ishgar, completely establishing "Sherlock Holmes" as a top-tier IP and making Moen a sensation in Ishgar.

The manga will also be released later, and the manga publisher, which is in charge of Riddas, has already seen it and given it very high praise.

Moen also contributed to this, as he made some revisions to the classic characters to make them more consistent with the descriptions in the works.

However, the comic book version will be released later, at least after the novel becomes a hit. Of course, we want to make two profits. There's no news about the comic book version yet.

In short, Moen was 100% certain that he would no longer have to worry about money, so he was really in no hurry to get Mirajane to pay him back.

"No, I don't want to owe this favor forever."

But Mira didn't care about any of that. She remained determined and would work overtime to pay back the money as soon as possible.

She even considered taking on part-time jobs at the guild when she had free time, since it would be a source of income anyway, and the guild's pay was quite good.

Mirajane is very confident in her cooking skills; she can earn the same amount of money as her sister Airo for cooking!

Of course, Elo wears many hats and receives multiple salaries, so she can't compare to her. Mira truly admires that sister.

"Alright."

Seeing how determined Mira was, Moen didn't say anything more. Even if he directly said he didn't want the money, it wouldn't make a difference; Mira wouldn't accept it. That's just how this girl is.

After helping to clear away the dishes and utensils, Moen led everyone away, leaving Mira and her family of three alone. They would stay in the new house for a day to see what needed improvement and what they needed to buy.

You can only discover problems with a house after you move in, but it's often difficult to fix them once you've moved in. Fortunately, their house was built by their own people, so if there are any problems, they can just call someone over to fix it.

After the group returned to the guild hall, Moen was immediately summoned by Makarov, who said he had something to discuss with him.

"Grandpa, is there something you need?"

When Moen arrived at the president's private office, he saw Grandpa Makarov dressed in formal attire and was immediately surprised to see that the old man had actually taken out and put on the clothes of the Ten Wizard Saints, which he rarely wore.

"Pack your things, Moen, come with me to Croba."

Upon seeing Moen enter, Makarov spoke up decisively.

"Huh? Croba? What are you going there for?"

Moen was completely bewildered. Why all of a sudden?

Looking at Grandpa Makarov, who was dressed formally, and then thinking about the current time, Moen suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Attend the routine meeting of the presidents of the local guild alliance."

Makarov spoke up, saying that it was exactly what Moen had thought.

Croba is the venue for the regular meeting of the local guild alliance presidents. Grandpa Makarov is dressed so formally in Croba, he must be going to attend the regular meeting. Moen just realized that it seems it's time for the regular meeting.

"Are you taking me this time?"

Moen's eyes lit up, his expression full of anticipation.

Those who can attend the regular meeting of the local guild alliance are, of course, the guild leaders of their respective guilds. However, the leaders usually do not go alone; they often bring along their key protégés.

Firstly, it allows younger generations to broaden their horizons and become familiar with the procedures; secondly, it allows the next generation of mages to have more exposure to the world.

Those who are usually taken along are strong candidates for the next president, so it's essential for them to get to know each other as early as possible.

The "Local Guild Alliance" is a non-official organization in the Kingdom of Fiore and is not affiliated with the Magic Council.

The Magic Council is responsible for managing the entire continent of Ishgar. Although it has offices in many places, it is not actually that well-staffed. Many local matters rely on the help of the local mage guilds.

Therefore, the leaders of regular guilds in various regions usually form alliances spontaneously, hold regular meetings of the leaders to discuss matters large and small, maintain relationships, share resources, and sometimes cooperate to complete some difficult tasks.

The "Local Guild Alliance" of the Kingdom of Fiore basically includes most of the regular guilds in the kingdom. Of course, there are some that don't participate. It's not mandatory; people don't want to participate, and they won't be forced. It's all voluntary.

Makarov was definitely going; he had a lot of influence in this "local guild alliance," with a vast network of connections.

"Let me show you the world."

Makarov smiled and gave an affirmative answer, indicating that he had given the matter careful consideration.

His eldest grandson's strength certainly gives him face, but his personality is of little use in the past.

But the grandson is different. Moen's personality would definitely make him fit in that kind of situation, and Moen's strength is enough to hold his own. This kid's age is even more amazing than Laxus's, and he would definitely make those old guys extremely envious!

"Okay, when do we leave?!"

Moen readily agreed; he was naturally happy to go and see, as this was not an occasion that just anyone could attend.

This "Local Guild Alliance" wields considerable influence throughout the entire Kingdom of Fiore, and many decisions to jointly eliminate a particular dark guild may well have been made on this occasion.

"We'll set off today, stay there for one night, and the meeting will officially begin tomorrow."

Makarov jumped off the table, gesturing for Moen to hurry up and pack his things; they needed to catch the train to Croba soon.
