"What's the trouble? If our guildmates are in trouble, everyone is happy to help. Besides, it's not dangerous at all; it's just helping to build a house."

Moen spoke earnestly, trying to dispel Mirajane's concerns.

"Furthermore, these tasks can be outsourced to everyone, which is a matter of mutual consent."

Seeing that Mirajane still looked like she didn't want to trouble everyone, Moen changed his approach, saying that posting a commission wasn't troublesome, and if everyone accepted the commission, it would be a normal employment relationship.

"Approximately how much will it cost?"

Mirajane asked, unable to resist the temptation. Buying a house in the city was indeed a long and arduous journey, requiring a lot of money. It would be much better to build one in the suburbs or forest like this.

"It depends on how big a house you want to build, but building a two-story house shouldn't cost much, maybe a few million J at most."

Moen wasn’t really sure about the price of building a house, but building a house in the suburbs and forests didn’t require buying land, and if you were really ruthless, you didn’t even need to buy timber. The main expense was probably labor.

If you do all the logging and woodworking yourself, the labor costs will indeed be higher, since it's truly starting from scratch and you have to find materials locally in the forest.

"Only a few million J?"

Mirajane's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the price; it was so much cheaper than buying a house in the city!

The key point is that you can't just buy a house in the city whenever you want, but you can build a house outside whenever and wherever you want, and nobody cares.

"But I don't even have millions of J."

After being tempted, Mirajane sighed deeply again. Even if it were just a few million J, she couldn't afford it right now.

The family of three is now basically supported by Mirajane alone. Although Lisanna and Elfman are currently enjoying the guild's relief policy, Mirajane does not want it to continue like this. She wants Lisanna and Elfman to be able to support themselves as soon as possible and not rely on the guild's relief forever.

This girl has a really strong personality.

"I'll lend it to you first, and you can pay me back when you've made some money. I believe that you, Elfman, and Lisanna will all become excellent mages, and earning a few million J will be quite easy for you."

Moen brought up the matter of lending money to Mira again. To be honest, earning a few million J is not difficult for powerful mages. High risk inevitably leads to high reward, and missions that risk one's life naturally earn more money.

Ordinary people don't even have the means to earn that much; they can only struggle to make ends meet by farming and doing manual labor.

"Moen, don't you need money?"

Mirajane looked at Moen, and she was really tempted. If they started building now, it might be completed in a month or two if they built quickly, and they could save some money on rent.

Living in Majula City is incredibly difficult; every inch of land is precious. Houses in the city center near the Fairy Tail guild are very expensive, and the official Fairy Tail dormitory is even more pricey.

However, it must be said that the official dormitories of "Fairy Tail" are truly luxurious and safe, with few restrictions on living conditions, and can be freely modified by oneself. The price of 100,000 J per month is definitely worth it.

Renting outside might be cheaper, but don't expect to be able to renovate it or have any other guarantees.

The reason why the girls' dormitory "FAIRY HILLS" can be used so freely is because the landlord, Mr. Lucia's daughter, Kiko C. Hammett, is a member of "Fairy Tail". Her family also runs a coffee shop in Magnolia, which is very popular and guild members often patronize it.

"I don't really need the money, so it's just sitting there. I'll lend it to anyone who needs it, and I'll pay them back slowly later."

Moen raised an eyebrow and looked at Grandpa Makarov, indicating that Mirajane didn't need to worry about his financial situation. After all, he was the heir of Fairy Tail, and he didn't have many expenses.

"Thank you, Moen, I'll pay you back soon!"

In the end, Mirajane couldn't resist the temptation. She longed for a home of her own, and Moen's suggestion was indeed very appealing, opening up new avenues of thought for her.

In reality, building houses in the suburbs or forests is something that only mages like them can actually do.

No matter how daring an ordinary person is, they wouldn't dare to build a house in the suburbs or forests, because monsters and wild beasts could take their lives.

Saving so much money inevitably comes with corresponding risks. If there were no risks, the suburbs and forests would have been developed long ago, instead of remaining sparsely populated.

"You're welcome, Mira. It's only right for guild members to help each other."

Moen stood up with a smile and went straight to the bar to submit his request to Sister Airo. The request form was very simple.

"Task assignment: Build a two-story house for Mira's family in the suburbs."

Compensation: Five million J within two months, four million J within three months, and three million J within four months.

In Magnolia, this price would be enough to build a two-story house, which is unthinkable, but it would be quite normal in the forests outside the city.

"Mira, are you guys moving out of the dorm?"

Upon seeing the mission assignment, Airo looked at Mirajane, who was standing next to Moen, and asked with a somewhat surprised expression.

"Yes! Sister Airo, we want to build our own house!"

Mirajane nodded in confirmation, looking somewhat excited. Although the house was built with borrowed money, it was at least the first step!

"You've only been working for such a short time, how come you've saved up so much money?"

While processing the mission assignment procedures, Airo asked curiously.

In Airo's memory, Mira shouldn't be able to earn that much money from the missions she takes on. As the guild's receptionist, all the mission requests in the guild have to go through her, so she inevitably has some understanding of most people's financial situation.

"It was borrowed from Moen."

Mirajane spoke up a little shyly.

Actually, she also found it a bit unbelievable that she had so easily agreed to borrow so much money from Mo En. If it were someone else, she definitely wouldn't have lent it to them; it would be a favor, a very troublesome entanglement.

But when it came to Moen, she didn't seem to think that much, probably because Moen had a very close relationship with her family.

Lisanna and Elfman both learned magic from Moen and received his care. It was also because of Moen's hard work and help that she accepted her power. Her family already owes Moen a lot of gratitude.

'Perhaps they feel they already owe enough, so owing a little more wouldn't matter.'

Mirajane tried to justify her actions in her mind; Moen was clearly no longer just an ordinary friend to her family.

"You're really willing to spend a lot, kid!"

Airo first looked at Moen in surprise, then at Mirajane, scrutinizing her back and forth. Her gaze gradually became meaningful, and even the words she spoke began to sound somewhat different.

As soon as Airo said this, Mirajane blushed instantly. She opened her mouth to defend herself, but Moen beat her to it.

"What are you talking about? If you want to borrow it, I'll lend it to you too, Airo-neechan."

Moen shook his head, speechless for a moment, then smiled and said to Airo.

"That won't do. That's so much money. A weak mage like me would probably have to work for the guild for the rest of my life to pay it back. Moen, do you want your sister Airo to be tied to the guild for life?"

Airo laughed heartily, cracking jokes.

"That's an exaggeration, Sister Airo. There's no need to work for that long. In fact, it would be better if that were the case. Without Sister Airo, the guild wouldn't even have food to eat. I really wouldn't be used to having someone else."

Moen said very seriously, "Sister Airo is a pillar-level employee in the guild, deeply trusted by Grandpa Makarov, and her cooking skills are also widely recognized by everyone."

"There will come a day, little Moen. When your sister falls in love and gets married, she might stay home to be a wife and mother. There will always be someone else to do this job."

Airo smiled gently, shook her head, and said with a touch of emotion, "Only children believe that nothing will ever change, but life is actually made up of countless accidents and changes, and the future is always full of uncertainty."

"If that day ever comes, maybe Mira can take over your job. Lisanna and Elfman both say she's a great cook."

Moen smiled and spoke, not dwelling on the parting, but instead cracking a joke as he looked at Mira beside him.

To be honest, it's really hard to imagine Mirajane as a devoted wife and mother, wearing an apron and cooking with a spatula.

"I'm not as good as Sister Airo, I can't do this job."

The change of topic brought Mirajane out of her blushing state, and she responded to Moen's joke very seriously.

These were Mira's honest thoughts. Sister Airo was one of the few people in the guild whom she respected and admired. This sister could manage all the affairs of the guild so well all by herself; she was simply amazing! Mira felt that she did not have that ability.

Although Rachel was also helping out, she mainly assisted Airo, who was in charge of most of the guild's affairs.

As for Chairman Makarov, he's a complete hands-off manager who spends all his time drinking heavily; he only comes out to make decisions on important matters.

"Don't say that, Mira. Who can predict the future?"

Ai Luo smiled and reached out to ruffle Mirajane's hair, speaking gently. She actually felt that Mirajane had the potential to be a housekeeper. Come to think of it, how could Mirajane, who had raised her younger brother and sister since she was little, not have any housekeeping skills, and how could she not be meticulous?

Mirajane didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that she wouldn't do the job that Sister Airo did; she still needed to go out and earn money.

"A huge contract! A huge contract! A five million J contract! No exceptional skills required, just expertise in construction is all you need to participate! No limit on the number of participants! If you're interested, contact me to register!"

While Mirajane and Airo were talking, Moen had already posted the mission assignment on the bulletin board, and then he started shouting it out, which quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"Huh? Mirajane's request?"

"Such a high reward! I didn't realize she was so wealthy!"

"Me! Me! Me! I'm best at civil engineering!"

"Count me in! I'm strong enough to chop down trees; I specialize in heavy manual labor!"

"Leave the blueprints to me."

"How could I be left out of this kind of work? I can even fix the boys' dormitories!"

Before long, a crowd had gathered at Moen's place, including the decorator Uncle Reinhardt, the artist Lidas, the muscle maniac Joey, and even Uncle Wakaba and Uncle Macao came to join in the fun.

"Uncle Wakaba's smoke magic is somewhat useful, but what can Uncle Macao's fire magic do?"

Moen looked at Macao, who had come to sign up, with suspicion. Coming to be a freeloader? Don't even think about it, Fairy Tail Construction Team doesn't accept freeloaders!
