"That's really impressive! But just now I felt..."
Lucy looked at Gildarts, who was waving and greeting them, and then thought back to his slightly dazed expression earlier, and couldn't help but sigh.
But before she could finish speaking, Cana walked over to him and jokingly retorted:
"Haha, doesn't he seem a little goofy? Well, that's one of his characteristics."
"Furthermore, he has a habit of spacing out, which can lead him to accidentally stumble upon houses and walk right through!"
"How... how can there be such a stupid person!"
Lucy's lips twitched when she heard those words.
In her mind, all she could think was, "Fairy Tail truly lives up to its name; they have all sorts of strange people here!"
Gildarts walked directly into the Fairy Tail amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.
"The Fairy Tail looks so new now!"
The first thing I did was turn my head around in all directions, which was quite novel.
He observed the changes in the surrounding Fairy Tail.
"Welcome back, Uncle Gildarts."
"Hmm~ You're... Lisanna? No, there are two of you, I'm not drunk today!"
Gildarts rubbed his eyes when he saw the two Lisannas appear, but he still saw two Lisannas again, and he couldn't help but start to doubt himself.
"Well, there is a reason for that, it's just that day..." Before Lisanna could finish speaking...
"Hey, Gildarts!"
Natsu burst out from the side stairs, his fists flaming, and shouted excitedly at Gildarts.
He threw a punch in the process.
"Oh, it's Natsu! Long time no see."
With a "plop," Gildarts reached out and grasped Natsu's fiery fist. With a forceful pull, the flames were instantly Crash, yet Natsu remained completely unharmed.
It is evident that Gildarts, when focused, is capable of achieving meticulous control over Magic.
"Let's talk about it another time, Natsu."
Gildarts grinned, twirled his arm, and spun around a few times.
With a "bang," Natsu was embedded directly into the ceiling.
Lisanna, standing to the side, put her hands on her hips and said helplessly, "Honestly, Natsu really never learns his lesson!"
"Hehe, that's right." Another Lisanna chuckled beside her.
Natsu, however, remained as happy as ever, exclaiming excitedly, "He really is strong!"
"Of course! But in the end, the throne of the strongest will definitely belong to me!"
Laxus leaned on the second-floor railing, looking at Natsu embedded in the gun, but his expression seemed quite excited.
It seems that his fighting spirit is growing stronger and has not dissipated despite his failed assault.
"So many new people have joined the Fairy Tail! Things have really changed!"
After Gildarts finished dealing with Natsu, he finally had time to look at the new members who had joined the Fairy Tail.
"Gildarts!"
After Guild Master Makarov finished shouting...
They were enjoying their drinks, very happy that Gildarts was back.
"Yo, Guild Master, long time no see, I'm back."
How's work going?
When the Guild Master asked that question.
The previously noisy atmosphere in the Fairy Tail immediately quieted down.
Everyone was intently waiting to hear Gildarts's answer.
"Um..."
Haha~
Gildarts pondered for a moment, then after a few seconds, he scratched the back of his head and laughed somewhat embarrassedly.
Finally, sweating profusely, he said seriously, "No, I'm completely incapable of it!"
"No way!"
"That's Gildarts! How could he fail!"
"I don't believe it."
Upon hearing this, the Fairy Tail members began to discuss among themselves, finding it hard to believe that someone as powerful as Gildarts could fail.
"Don't worry about it, Gildarts. After all, you're the first person to come out of this mission unscathed; that's already quite an achievement."
The Guild Master looked at Gildarts seemed somewhat guilty, and sincerely comforted him.
However, what the Guild Master said was true; none of those who had carried out this 100-Year Quest before had survived.
"Hah! I want to rest for a bit, so I'm going back now! I'm exhausted."
Gildarts yawned as he spoke, walking towards one of the Fairy Tail's walls, seemingly oblivious to anything amiss.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he said without turning his head, "Natsu, wait a minute, come to my house, I have a gift for you!"
"Bang~"
Before they even got close to the wall, it instantly shattered into pieces within a certain range.
In no time, the figure had disappeared.
I don't know what the gift is, but I'm really looking forward to it!
"Bang!"
Upon hearing this, Natsu immediately jumped up, his right fist blazing, and mimicking Gildarts, punched through the wall. "Happy, let's go!"
"Hey, Natsu, you don't need to learn this!" Lucy immediately retorted after seeing it.
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon.
Regardless of Natsu's shock when Gildarts told him that he had seen a dragon.
Gajeel, however, picked up a cat and examined it closely.
Meow~
"No way!" Gajeel immediately put down the Leopard Print cat, angrily turning in another direction, wanting to find his own cat.
"This one..."
"And this one..."
Gajeel ran back and forth, but couldn't find his talking cat.
She seemed somewhat downcast.
"Bang!" Without paying attention, he tripped over a wine bottle.
"Damn it, both that stinky Fire Dragon and that new Wendy have a cat by their side."
"Why, why don't I have a cat by my side when we're both Dragon Slayer?!"
Gajeel's eyes welled up with tears at this thought.
A shadow suddenly loomed over them, and a chill swept through the surroundings.
Gajeel looked up and suddenly saw a figure appear in front of him.
"A new member to the Fairy Tail?" A gentle female voice reached his ears.
"Who are you?!"
"Hello, my name is Ur! How are you? Did you hurt yourself?"
Ur, wearing a grey jacket and jeans, reached out and pulled it up.
At the same time.
"This... this Magic Power is..."
Gildarts, however, stopped recounting his amusing anecdotes from his travels, stood up, and looked in the distance toward Fairy Tail with a puzzled expression.
"Ur is back!" Natsu exclaimed with delight, sensing it as well.
"Oh~"
Gray, who was in the Fairy Tail, immediately got up and rushed out of the Fairy Tail at lightning speed.
As soon as I arrived at the Fairy Tail entrance, I saw my master, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.
"Gray, the clothes," Ur reminded him with a smile.
"Ah, when!" Gray suddenly realized, his face slightly flushed, and exclaimed.
Juvia, like a shy bride meeting her in-laws, stood a little timidly to the side, fantasizing in her mind about how to get along well with the elders.
The return of Gildarts and Ur caused the overall Magic Power of Magnolia to suddenly increase several times over.
This allowed Amani to instantly target the Town.
Fortunately, Zorn and Mystogan stopped a small Amani, giving Zorn ample time to make some arrangements.
Everything is ready now, and I'm on my way back.
