Cover: The start of new arc. It'll be a test for our bonds.
The chapter starts with a theft scene. The thief shout to his victim, that it's not good idea to low the guard in the crowd. Laxus stands in his way and when thief tries to attack, we have a retrospection of Laxus' talk with master Bob from few days ago. Master told him about special festival called Centenary Yuubi Festival in the Hamanas village, which is situated in North of BP guild. And because of the festival, BP has received request for guarding. Laxus said he's not interested in some stupid requests, but Bob caught his attention saying, it's a special request for strong mages.
After he defeated thiefs easily, Laxus is disappointed, because he thought, there will be more powerful opponents, but Raijinshuu are admiring him as always. Laxus recalls what The Trimens said about Ichiya and his strenght. Laxus wonders, what can become a strenght he can give to his family - he thinks, he will find the answer during fight with strong guys. Then he says loudly, that even BP guys could take a job like this.
Then one girl appears. She's impressed seeing Laxus' power and says, it was good idea to make a request to the guild. It's Weyse, a priest of Yuubi Festival. She recognized Laxus, now she asks about Raijinshuu. They introduce themselves as Laxus' bodyguards, but Weyse thought they are fans*, much to Freed's indignation (which is funny, considering he is the biggest fan of Laxus

). Laxus asks, what is the real request for them - she wanted the strongest, so it can't be about catching thiefs. He's right, Weyse shows them
Yuudachi no Kagami**, very important, ancient mirror, which is a key to succes of Yuubi Festival. Ever notices, it's really valuable thing for treasure hunters. Freed asks, if Weyse wants them to protect it, but it's opposite - she wants them to destroy it.
* It's a wordplay. Ever used word
shin'eitai, which means both "bodyguards" and "groupies". I have no idea, how to translate it even in Polish, not saying about English, sorry

** I'm not sure how to translate it. In kanji it would be "Mirror that declines evening", but in furigana it's "Mirror of sudden evening rain". Ofc, priest's name and the name of festival are my translations, so they may be different from the official ones
