[Adam C. POV]

As I exited the Guild, and the sun began to sink below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow across the Town of Magnolia. The excitement of the day's events had settled, and a sense of tranquility washed over me as I made my way to my house on the outskirts of town.

According to Makarov, they had finished the apartment per my instructions while I was away, so this would be my first time sleeping in the house I had envisioned.

It had been a long day for me.

I wasn't tired, physically speaking, but mentally, I sure as fuck was.

"I'm finally back," I muttered.

The familiar streets of Magnolia greeted me as I walked, passing by familiar shops and bustling cafes, it was honestly surprising how fast these people recovered. Just a few hours again the Town was being destroyed, but now, they were back on business like nothing had happened.

I guess the spirit of Fairy Tail was truly woven into the very fabric of this place, in more ways than one.

As I walked through the town, reaching the outskirts, I found my apartment, standing there in one piece in all its glory, a quaint three-story structure nestled amidst a row of trees.

I had to admit, I was honestly surprised it was in... one piece, considering Gildarts apparently had a key, which reminds me, I need to change the locks... ahh, who am I kidding, like he uses the door, ha!

Laughing at the thought of Gildarts using a door for once, I stepped inside my house, eager to explore it. The apartment exuded a cozy atmosphere, with soft lighting and a warm color palette.

Needless to say, I was more than happy with the result. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

I mean, this place was a reflection of my own tastes and preferences, a place where I could truly feel at home.

"Welcome to my humble abode, traveler," Mavis greeted me, floating at the top of the staircase with a playful smirk on her lips.

Smiling at her, I made my way to the living room, sinking into the plush comfort of one of the armchairs in there. "Ahh, yes. I suddenly feel like doing... nothing."

"Well, seeing you trained basically non-stop these past few years, that would be a nice change of pace," Mavis giggled, jumping off the stairs, landing gracefully on the armrest of the chair.

I chuckled, stretching my arms above my head. "You know why I was training so much, but, yeah, I guess you're right."

Letting the silence of the house wash over me, I closed my eyes, and yawned, melting into the chair for a few moments, until the ringing of my lacrima phone broke the serene silence of the place, causing me to startle slightly.

Who the fuck is calling me?

Snapping my head out of trance, I reached for the device, picking it up to reveal the caller's name on the screen, Gildarts Clive.

Pausing for a bit, I raised my eyebrow in interest as I reached down and retrieved the envelope. It was sealed with a wax emblem that I didn't recognize, but it seemed like it belonged to a collection agency.

I don't recall having anything kind of debt worth contacting a collection agency.

Perhaps something I forgot to pay before leaving?

Tearing the envelope open, I pulled out the letter and unfolded it, scanning the words quickly. My heart sank as I read the contents, my eyes widening in disbelief.

It was a notice of debt collection for a substantial amount, with a deadline for payment in just a few days, and it came from the very famous MCF, The Magnolia Cake Factory.

Apparently I owed them millions in cakes, but HOW?!

"How is this even possible?" I exclaimed, standing up from my chair. "I don't--- ERZA!?"

"It seems she took advantage of your open account with them to... let's see..." Mavis hummed, looking at the bill. "That plus that, minus that, we take taxes away, calculate inflation, and estimate special offers and discounts, and that gives us a total of... two hundred eighteen thousand seven hundred ninety-one strawberry premium cakes, more or less, I could be wrong."

I could feel my eyes twitching.

Erza always had a sweet tooth, but fucking god this was taking it to a whole new level. This shit was beyond ridiculous! Two hundred eighteen thousand seven hundred ninety-one strawberry premium cakes?! That was enough to feed an entire kingdom for a year!

"I am going to kill her," I muttered under my breath, staring into the bill.

Mavis chuckled. "Well, before you do that, why don't you try talking to her first? Maybe there's a misunderstanding?"

Misunderstanding?! Like what?! Her confusing my account with the cake factory with hers?! Sure, like Erza and Adam are names that you would fucking mix-up!

"Oh, I will TALK! Talk there will be, INDEED!" I replied, planning my revenge as I laughed in the most evil manner.

"I don't feel safe," Mavis replied in a totally calm demeanor.

I would have my revenge!

Oh, Erza, sweet summer child, you have no idea how severe of a mistake you have made! For years my conduct has been largely benign, always friendly! And yet, without provocation, you have decided to sever our détente forcing me to unleash upon you the vengeful flames of a thousand suns!

You shall curse your love of cakes! For the looming sword of Damocles will crash down upon you, cleaving you in twain and as you gaze upon the smoking wreckage that was once your life, you will regret the day you crossed the WRONG GUILD MEMBER!!

And honestly, eating that much cake can't be good for anyone's health. So, in a way, I am helping her.

Where was I?

Oh yes.

Hahaha.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Revenge shall be mine!
