Fairy Tail 148

Guidelines For Using My Translations

[TN: After returning from Japan, completing a hellish assignment (including losing about two hundred words in a crash and having to retype them from scratch), taking a breather and getting somewhat addicted to Tales of VS, I'm finally back and getting down to work on my backlog! Installment 2: three chapters of Fairy Tail.]
