Listen, listen, listen, Mira Jane Strauss!

This is the name of the girl who exudes a delinquent aura!

Elfman Strauss!

This is the name of the towering boy who looks weak!

Lisanna Strauss!

This is the name of the girl who seems like a well-behaved little sister!

It's easy to see from their surnames that these three are related, and in fact, they are indeed siblings.

Of course, Noah only found out about these things later, including Elfman and Lisanna's names.

As for now, Noah is only stunned.

"Is my job yours now?"

With a completely incomprehensible expression, Noah once again carefully examined Mira, who looked completely justified, Elfman, who looked uneasy, and Lisanna, who looked anxious and helpless. After a while, he spoke directly.

"Sorry, I can't understand what you mean. Can you explain it more clearly?"

"I think I've already explained everything clearly!" Mira put her hands on her hips and looked down at Noah. Her delicate face, which was no less beautiful than Erza's, had a disdainful look that could ruin its beauty.

"Besides, looking at you, I don't think you have the ability to solve this ghost incident. So, be sensible and just give the job to us!"

At this point, Mira's words were not just arrogant and provocative but were outright offending Noah.

Therefore, even Noah, who was good at controlling his emotions, couldn't help but feel a bit displeased. He subconsciously reached out and touched the long cloth bag beside him, looking at Mira with a slight smile.

"Your point is that someone your age has the ability to solve this incident?"

Upon hearing this, Mira didn't respond immediately but glanced at the long cloth bag Noah was touching. Her face still had a sinister expression, but she felt a hint of alertness in her heart.

After all, a bag of this shape was not hard to associate with what it might contain.

However, Mira's words were not about to let up.

"Do you think just carrying weapons makes you a mage? It seems being a mage of 'Fairy Tail' is quite easy!"

Noah, who had been tolerating Mira's words, suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze towards Mira turned cold. Even his magic power began to boil slightly.

"Can I take it that you are provoking 'Fairy Tail'?"

Ever since being adopted by Makarov and causing a few outbursts of magic power due to emotional instability, nearly destroying the entire 'Fairy Tail', Noah constantly reminded himself to stay calm no matter what.

This is why, despite his young age, Noah could display a calmness that even adults couldn't.

Because of this, no matter how much Laxus, who usually didn't get along with Noah, tried to provoke him, Noah's emotions were not easily affected, making Laxus somewhat dislike and even fear his younger brother, often treating Noah extremely poorly.

Given Laxus's character, he wouldn't admit that he was somewhat afraid of his younger brother who was hard to provoke, which is why he always targeted Noah, trying to break Noah's calmness that even he feared.

So, if Laxus were present, he would know that there were only three factors that could affect Noah's emotions.

One is anything related to Makarov, who raised Noah.

One is any harm to those close to Noah.

Another is any insult to 'Fairy Tail'.

In a sense, Mira's words had unintentionally hit one of Noah's sore spots.

Mira seemed to sense the brief surge of magic power from Noah, her heart tightened, and her body stiffened slightly.

Although it was just a moment, Mira indeed felt a sense of danger when she sensed the brief surge of magic power from Noah.

"Mira-nee!" Lisanna, who seemed to sense nothing, quickly pulled Mira's hand when she saw Noah's gaze turn cold and bowed her head to Noah.

"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"

"Please don't be angry," Elfman said, his expression filled with unease.

"We really don't have any ill intentions."

If they came to provoke, how could they not have ill intentions?

If it were someone else, they would have already lost their temper and started a fight with the trio.

Fortunately, Noah was not someone who would easily lose his temper. He took a deep breath, calmed his slightly agitated emotions, and looked straight at the trio in front of him.

"I think I understand your intentions. You want to take on the mission posted by this village, right?"

Mira snorted and turned her head away, unwilling to explain. Elfman, however, nodded repeatedly, while Lisanna seemed angry at her sister's actions. The three siblings' different reactions made Noah feel somewhat helpless.

"I just want to ask," Noah stared intently at the trio.

"Are you sent by 'Phantom Lord'?"

"Phantom Lord?" Mira, Elfman, and Lisanna were all taken aback, looking somewhat confused.

Seeing this, Noah knew that the three siblings were not sent by 'Phantom Lord' to deliberately provoke 'Fairy Tail' as they did last time.

"So, why are you trying to take my job?" Noah asked directly.

"I don't think I've offended you, have I?"

Hearing Noah's words, Elfman and Lisanna both lowered their heads, looking somewhat guilty, while Mira remained as rude as ever.

"You don't need to know. Since you're a mage of 'Fairy Tail', just go back to the guild and take another mission. Leave this one to us!"

Noah raised an eyebrow, ignoring Mira, and turned his gaze to Lisanna.

He had figured out that among the three siblings, Mira was a typical delinquent, making it hard to reason with her. Elfman was rather weak, and even if he asked, he would only stammer. Only this youngest girl, Lisanna, was easier to talk to and wouldn't have so many issues.

"I'm really sorry," Lisanna's first words were still an apology, her cute face full of regret.

"But we really need this mission. If possible, we hope you can let it go to us."

"Lisanna, why are you telling him so much?" Mira glared at Noah.

"Kid, I said your job is ours. If you don't want to get beaten up and run home in disgrace, just give up here and now!"

"Mira-nee!" Lisanna's voice was full of anger and helplessness, clearly distressed by her sister's attitude.

Noah sighed, picked up the long cloth bag beside him, and stood up.

"Even though I don't know why you say you need this mission, I guess you must have gone to the mayor's house and been told that I had already accepted the mission, which is why you came to me, hoping I would give it up, right?"

After saying this, Noah pulled a mischievous smile and said,

"If that's the case, why don't you try to take my job from me!"

Without waiting for Mira and the others to say anything, Noah ran out.

"Don't run!"

Elfman and Lisanna were shocked, and Mira, even more agitated, shouted, grabbing one of each and running out the door.
