Love Will Not Disappear, Wendy Joins the Guild

"I, Rob Guild Master, on behalf of the local Fairy Tail alliance, express my deepest gratitude to you!"

Thank you all!

As the Guild Master Rob also offered his final thanks to everyone, bowing slightly.

While others were still rather reserved and embarrassed to accept Guild Master Rob's praise, there was one person who thoroughly enjoyed the moment.

"You're welcome, Guild Master Rob. This battle wasn't entirely smooth sailing, but the camaraderie among our comrades led us to victory!"

As glamorous as his entrance, he rushed towards Guild Master Rob with a few quick steps and a sliding tackle, though he looked somewhat embarrassed.

But physically, he was jumping and spinning around with joyful steps, and at the end, he even struck what he thought was a cool pose.

"Men"

"As expected of our teacher~" The other three members of Blue Pegasus also expressed their admiration for their teacher without reservation.

The dance performed by the Blue Pegasus group and the clapping of the other three even prompted Lucy and Gray to quietly criticize them.

Although it was a bit funny to watch, it livened up the atmosphere among everyone.

Natsu stared at it excitedly, seemingly quite enjoying this expression of emotion.

Then, laughing loudly, he raised his hand and suggested, "Given this situation, let's have a party!"

"Love!" Happy was overjoyed and was the first to agree with Natsu's decision.

Several other people were also very interested.

The already energetic members of Blue Pegasus then broke into a lively dance in the middle, jumping back and forth, making everyone laugh.

Wendy was also caught up in the joyful dance and laughed happily next to the Guild Master.

Hey everyone, let's all join in!

Following the invitation, Natsu, who was already excited to try it, was the first to jump up, followed by Gray Lucy and Happy also happily joined in.

In stark contrast to their joyful atmosphere, everyone at the Cait Shelter was filled with worry and sorrow.

Zorn and Erza also wore very somber expressions.

Zorn already knew, but Erza was the first to realize from their expressions that the big guys at the Cait Shelter were hiding something from them.

And it's a very serious matter.

The dancers also noticed this and stopped, looking at the group from the Cait Shelter opposite them in surprise. They even turned to look at Zorn, seeing the same regretful and sad expression on his face, and only then did they realize the problem.

Wendy, just as she was about to jump up, noticed the expressions on the faces of the president and Zoan Erza, who were looking at the president with puzzled looks.

"I'm so sorry! I kept things from everyone regarding the Nirvit Tribe!"

The Guild Master sorted out his thoughts and slowly began to speak.

"Guild Master, I don't care about this at all!" Wendy said, looking at the Guild Master with a sigh of relief.

Wendy initially thought something serious had happened because everyone looked so sad, but when she heard the Guild Master's words, she subconsciously attributed the Guild Master and everyone's unusual expressions to that, and automatically dismissed those bad thoughts from her mind.

The Guild Master sensed Wendy's emotions and patted her head to comfort Wendy, saying, "Wendy, don't be afraid, Grandpa will always be by your side!"

Please listen patiently!

"First of all, we are not descendants of the Nirvit Tribe; we are members of the Nirvit Tribe ourselves!"

"No, to be precise, I am the only Nerubian, the one who created Nirvana four hundred years ago."

When Guild Master Rob said those words, everyone was shocked, and Natsu stared at Guild Master Rob in disbelief.

"Oh no~"

"What did you say.."

Four hundred years ago?

Everyone was shocked, and Wendy seemed to understand something as well, standing there staring blankly at the Guild Master.

Rob Guild Master Robin paused, those painful memories echoing in his mind, before continuing, "Four hundred years ago, to stop the spreading war, I created a Magic that could reverse good and evil— Nirvana."

"It once became a symbol of our country, but... this Magic had a great backlash..."

"For every amount of darkness transformed into light, an equal amount of darkness is stored in Nirvana. Energy must always be balanced. One cannot completely transform a person's personality into light to the extreme. There must be a duality of light and darkness within the human body in order to maintain balance."

"And all this Dark Energy, with nowhere to go, was transferred to our Nirvit Tribe. On that day, darkness descended!"

"People started killing each other, and eventually they were all wiped out!"

"Now even I exist only in the form of Thought Form; my physical body perished in that darkness."

When Guild Master Rob finished speaking, Wendy staggered, and her already lifeless eyes narrowed even more.

"To atone for this sin and destroy this Nirvana, I have guarded it for four hundred years. Now, my wish as a spirit of the dead has finally been fulfilled!"

"How can I believe this...?" Wendy closed her eyes after hearing the Guild Master's words, unwilling to believe the truth, but the Guild Master's body flickered for a moment.

Just as the big guys at the Cait Shelter were about to disappear.

A golden Magic Circle suddenly rose beneath everyone's feet, and an aura of light appeared, stabilizing their nearly vanished forms.

Just as Wendy and the others were about to look at Zorn with hope, Zorn's words shattered their last hope.

"I'm sorry, Wendy, this is all I can do. I'll use the remaining time to say goodbye properly!"

After hearing Zorn's words, Wendy turned to look at her companions from the Cait Shelter who were gazing at her tenderly. Her eyes filled with tears, and her lips trembled slightly as she said, "Everyone... don't disappear..."

Wendy finally burst into tears and threw herself into Guild Master's arms, hugging him tightly.

"I'm so sorry for keeping this from you for so long, Wendy," the Guild Master said, gently stroking Wendy's head.

Wendy felt the warmth above her head and still couldn't believe that the Guild Master was Thought Form.

She shook her head violently, not caring at all, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Wendy, Carla, you cry just like when you were little. Come here, come into Auntie's arms..." One of the aunties from the Cait Shelter, who had watched Wendy grow up, hugged the two girls and carefully wiped away Wendy's tears. "Oh my, my sweeties, look at you, you've cried your way through your face like little kittens, you're not pretty anymore!"

The aunt smiled and tried to comfort Wendy, but her words had no effect.

"Wendy, I don't want to be pretty, I just... I just want things to be the same as always, please don't disappear..." Wendy looked up at the crowd in front of her, her eyes brimming with tears, and pleaded.

Wendy will always be the cutest!

"Yes"

Pascal and Naoki said at the same time, "Wendy is really beautiful!"

The members of the Cait Shelter surrounded Wendy, each reaching out to Wendy head. Undoubtedly, they all deeply loved Wendy, even if they were illusions. Their personalities were not real, and their emotions were not; they were living, breathing people.

"Wendy, Carla, we won't disappear, and neither will love. We will always be in your heart."

"Besides, now that you have companions to keep you company, we are very relieved!"

At this moment, everyone's bodies began to radiate light, and no matter how much Zorn increased his Magic Power output, he could not stop them.

"Guild Master President, everyone..." Wendy and Carla were already in tears as they watched all this.

"Thank you so much, everyone! Wendy and Carla are in your care now!"

As Guild Master Rob finished speaking, the people behind him waved goodbye and then vanished into the air as light shone around Wendy and Carla, bidding them a final farewell.

Finally, it flew into the sky.

Wendy knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the sky... tears streaming down her face.

Erza silently walked to her side and embraced her. "Let your companions soothe the pain of parting from loved ones!"

Come on, join Fairy Tail!

Wendy looked up at Erza's gentle face, then at the expectant eyes of the Fairy Tail members behind her. Remembering what her grandfather, the Guild Master, had said, she nodded slightly with tears in her eyes.
