Fairy Tail - Magnolia Town
"Cana, I know I was wrong. I promise we'll run together next time!"
"Hmph, next time you try to make decisions on your own, you'd better watch out!!"
After Erza and Zorn finished the Tower of Heaven incident, they saw off Hugh, Millianna, Wally, and Raymond, and at Zorn's suggestion, they went sightseeing together before leisurely returning to Fairy Tail.
Zorn was carefully coaxing Cana, making promises many times and even signing a written agreement before Cana finally agreed to talk to him.
This behavior made Juvia quite envious. She secretly glanced at Gray, who was playing around with Natsu, her eyes filled with shyness.
"I won this time, hahaha."
"Childish!"
Natsu started racing against Gray on his own, rushed into the Town first, and then turned to Gray to show off.
Unexpectedly, Gray didn't even glance at him. As he passed Natsu, he suddenly turned around and started racing with Natsu: "Let's see who gets to the Fairy Tail first." After saying that, he immediately turned and ran.
"Damn it, Gray, you're being lazy!"
This infuriated Natsu, who jumped up and down in a frenzy, but his legs kept moving, and he spun around to catch up. The two then raced towards the Fairy Tail.
"Lord Gray, wait for Juvia."
Juvia had changed her outfit, sporting a new short hairstyle and wearing a blue and white dress, looking very youthful and beautiful.
"Sigh~" Lucy sighed as she watched this scene. She really felt that Natsu and Gray were just like children, not as reliable as when they were on a mission.
"Huh? Why are they running away?"
Zorn and Cana, hand in hand, had made up and walked forward to ask Erza, who was smiling at the moment.
"Well, it's youth, it's normal!!"
"Love!" Happy raised his hand in agreement.
Wow! Wow!
Wow! Wow!
When Erza and the others stood in the new Fairy Tail Fairy Tail, they had the same stunned expressions as Natsu and Gray, completely awestruck by the magnificent building, their mouths forming an "O" shape.
"Truly amazing"
"It's done..."
"Haha, alright, everyone shut your mouths, let's go in and take a look."
Zorn pushed open the door first, and what came into view was a spacious open-air café. The scene left the group speechless, as they had never expected the Fairy Tail to be so luxurious after its reconstruction.
"Is this a coffee shop?"
"And what's more, they even have general stores!"
After scanning the hall, Lucy was astonished to find a Fairy Tail- themed general store nearby, and her jaw dropped.
Welcome!
"Oh, it's you all! Welcome back."
When Marcos saw that it was Natsu and his group returning, he happily greeted them.
"Oh, Marcos's working as a shop assistant! We haven't seen each other in ages."
Happy flew happily to the general store. It hadn't seen Marcos for a long time. It didn't know when Marcus had been sent out by the Guild Master to learn how to run a store.
"Haha, yes, Happy. I followed the Guild Master's orders to learn how to do this business."
"Ah, Marcos Aroze, the one who was in the weekly Sorcerer Weekly!" After recognizing the clerk, Lucy rushed to the counter, her eyes sparkling with admiration for Marcos.
Annotation: Sorcerer Weekly is a very influential magazine that features eye-catching handsome men and beautiful women, news from major Fairy Tail, and the latest fashion content, making it very popular.
"It's nice to meet you, Lucy. I've heard about you before."
What do they sell here?
"We have a lot of things, all kinds of things, and our best-selling item is this: Lucy figure with detachable clothes!"
"Wow, wow, they sell everything here!"
Marcus's words made Lucy scream instantly. She hurriedly hid the figure, but in her haste, she accidentally triggered some mechanism, revealing it again.
"Ahh!"
This elicited even louder screams.
When the group pushed open the inner Fairy Tail door, they were instantly stunned by the magnificent scene. The hall was even more spacious, and the people were just as noisy as before.
"So beautiful!"
"Hmm, it's really well-built!" Lucy, Erza, Cana, and Juvia were all very happy looking at the newly renovated Fairy Tail.
"Hey, Natsu, what's wrong?!"
Gray suddenly noticed that Natsu, who looked a little unhappy, asked him.
"Things are different now!" Natsu said, sounding unhappy and a little frustrated.
"Lucy, Erza, Cana, welcome back!"
Levy, seeing everyone return, was also extremely excited and ran over to show them around the Fairy Tail's swimming pool, playground, and other facilities.
Finally, he led everyone to the Fairy Tail's interior, pointed to the second floor, and said to them:
"The most important thing is the second floor; now anyone can go up to the second floor!"
"However, S-Class Missions can only be accepted and accompanied by S-Class Mages."
After all this time, Natsu was still sulking. Zorn, seeing Natsu like this, understood what was going on.
"What's wrong? The Fairy Tail has undergone a complete transformation, so why are you still a little unhappy?"
Zorn leaned close to Natsu and whispered a question.
"No, it's just... it's just that I don't have the memories from before, so it's a little strange. I remember..." Natsu was taken aback when he heard Zorn's question, then turned his head away, stubbornly refusing to deny it, before falling back into his memories.
Back then, he and Gray were teased by Zorn holding hands all day so they could train together, but in the end they still ate barbecue together. There were also the times they laughed together while hatching Happy, and so many other memories...
"Ouch, Zorn, why did you hit me on the head?"
"Idiot, look around at everyone. Aren't they all laughing happily right now? And everyone's in Fairy Tail now, with even more wonderful memories to create in the future."
Looking around at the noisy crowd, drinking and joking around, and Erza and the others happily playing with everyone, Natsu suddenly understood what Zorn had said. He flashed a bright white smile and finally cheered up.
"You're back, you bunch of little rascals."
The Guild Master stood with his hands behind his back, a smile constantly on his face as he looked at everyone.
"Guild Master, this is Juvia. She's always wanted to join Fairy Tail, and she helped us a lot during the Akane incident!"
Zorn introduced Juvia, who was nervously fidgeting with her fingers, to the Guild Master.
"Master, hello, I... I want to join Fairy Tail!"
"Sure!" The Guild Master agreed immediately without hesitation.
"Yay, Lord Gray, I'm finally one step closer to you! That's great!" Juvia jumped up and ran happily to Gray's side.
Oh, and a new member has joined us!
"Aren't you going to say hello to everyone?" The Guild Master turned to look at the person sitting in the Fairy Tail chair next to him.
"Hmm? Is there anyone else?"
Everyone followed suit and looked in that direction.
Gajeel!
"No way."
