"Isn't this the guy who wanted to destroy our Fairy Tail?"
"How could you let him join!"
"Hmm?" Gajeel looked at Erza and the others with an impatient expression, but when his eyes fell on Cana beside him, his previously arrogant expression shrank and he became more restrained. He turned his head away and scoffed.
"Well, it's alright. As the saying goes, 'No fight, no friendship.' Let's turn enemies into friends," the Guild Master reassured the group from behind.
"Bang!"
"I don't want to work with this guy, he was...!"
Natsu rushed over to Gajeel's side and slammed his fist on the table.
"Don't worry, I don't intend to become friends with you guys. It's just work, and besides, seeing you all annoys me to no end!"
"What did you say!"
Hmm~ What do you want!
Gajeel stood up, not to be outdone, and started arguing with Natsu. He hadn't forgotten the day he was hung on the Fairy Tail, and Natsu was swinging him around so much that he vomited.
"Okay, okay, Gajeel, stop talking." Juvia, seeing the awkward atmosphere, quickly ran over to try and calm things down.
"Natsu, alright, since the Guild Master has said so!"
Zorn also grabbed Natsu, who was on the verge of exploding.
"Hmph~"
When the two saw someone come out to mediate, they turned away and snorted, not even looking at each other, out of consideration for Juvia and Zorn's relationship.
"Hey, what's wrong? Is there a power outage?"
Just then, with a click, the entire Fairy Tail went dark.
A spotlight shone on the stage, where Mira, dressed in a beige dress, and her "twins" Lisanna were smiling at the audience, each holding their own instrument.
"Yo~ Mirajane, Lisanna, Lisanna, I'm back."
Natsu, who had been a little annoyed, immediately greeted the three of them with a happy expression.
Welcome back.
"To celebrate Natsu and the others' return, and the establishment of the new Fairy Tail, we'd like to sing a song for everyone."
Mirajane looked gently at Natsu and everyone below the stage and spoke, while the two Lisannas waved happily and greeted everyone.
Zorn had just pulled Cana to a table and sat down when he looked up and saw that Laxus was also leaning on the second-floor railing, watching the stage with the same anticipation as everyone else.
Zorn smiled slightly, turned to look at how well Lisanna had integrated into the Another World, and how happy Mira was, and thought to himself that he had finally changed something.
"We're just waiting for your performance, Mira, Lisanna, Lisa."
"Yay!"
"That's wonderful! I'm so happy for you all, sisters! That's what real men are like!" Elfman, watching her radiant sisters on stage from below, covered her face and cried tears of joy.
Everyone cheered and shouted for the three of them, "That's awesome!"
As Mirajane and the other two sang their beautiful song, Erza and the others were completely immersed in the music, slowly enjoying a moment of peace.
Unbeknownst to them, Guild Master Makarov breathed a sigh of relief behind them, "You're all back safely, that's wonderful."
You have another one.
"You still have a place to belong..."
"And there's someone waiting for you..."
After Mirajane and her two companions finished their performance gently, cheers and praises resounded throughout the Fairy Tail.
"Oh, okay."
"Great job! Who's next?" Macao shouted from below, completely ignoring the disdainful look in his son's eyes.
The lights went off again, and then came back on.
The crowd, who had been cheering, froze on the spot, not daring to look at the person on the stage.
"What?!" Natsu, who had been looking bored, suddenly stood up, staring at Gajeel on the stage with disgust and astonishment.
"This is a piece I composed myself - BEST FRIEND, everyone give it a listen!"
"Who wants to hear that, you bastard?"
"Why are you still wearing a suit and tie?!"
When everyone saw Gajeel go on stage, they threw all sorts of things onto the stage, a completely different attitude from that of Mirajane and her two sisters just now.
"... The melody of love, metallic..."
Gajeel didn't care how much the audience hated him; he was absorbed in his singing, strumming his guitar.
"You've got a knack for it."
"Go for it, Mr. Gajeel!"
This kind of singing was very popular with Macao, Elfman, and the other male members, who cheered for them from the audience. However, some people couldn't stand it and threw trash onto the stage.
The guild was instantly divided into two camps, and the whole Fairy Tail was bustling with activity. Zorn, watching this scene from the side, felt a strange sense of warmth.
However, it seemed that Zorn sensed that Laxus had left the Fairy Tail, so Zorn whispered something to Cana and also left the Fairy Tail.
Stepping outside, I saw someone leaning against a large tree, gazing at the sun high in the sky, seemingly lost in thought.
"Yo, Laxus, long time no see. What brings you out here? What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, just came out for some fresh air."
Are you still worried about what difficulties the Fairy Tail might encounter later? Don't worry, with a few of us here, everything will be fine!
"Hmm~"
"You've changed a lot, Laxus."
"Is something wrong? Do you want to tell me quietly?"
Seeing that Laxus had only replied with one sentence and was deep in thought again, Zorn secretly leaned close to his ear and suddenly said something.
These words made Laxus blush and stand up. "No, don't talk nonsense. That's all, let's talk again next time." After saying that, he immediately vanished from the spot.
Just as Zorn was still wondering, a huge tremor came from the Fairy Tail.
"Bang~ Boom~"
"What do you want to do, you bastard?"
"Want to fight?"
"My Strawberry Cake..."
"If you're a man, don't cause trouble here." Elfman stomped on Strawberry Cake that had fallen to the ground, causing Erza had been suppressing her anger, to completely lose it.
"Shut up!" Erza kicked Elfman away, sending him flying out of the Fairy Tail.
"Damn it, can anyone stop him!"
Zorn watched Elfman depart into the distance, sighed inwardly, and then flashed into the Fairy Tail.
After a burst of brilliant light, the entire Fairy Tail finally fell silent.
"Seriously, this is outrageous! The Fairy Tail was just created!"
"Zorn is really serious!"
"Like!"
