Fairy Queen Appears! (IV)

After watching his companions leave, Leader A glared at the group of guys in front of him and shouted, "If you little brats don't want to all die here, you'd better tell us who planned this operation!"

Sensing the anger of the person in front of him, the blond-haired kid standing on the far left of the line quietly took a few steps back.

"Hey! You guys are pretty tight-lipped!"

"Alright, let's see if your bones are harder, or my whip is harder!"

After speaking, Leader A gave a wink to his two subordinates, and then the two Masked man, along with members of the blocking and intercepting forces, lifted Erza and the others up.

"What are you trying to do?" (Xiao Ou)

"What are you doing? Heh! You'll find out soon enough!"

After he finished speaking, the Leader A gave him another wink, and then several men carrying leather whips came out.

"Hey, you'd better aim carefully before you shoot, don't accidentally hurt us!" (Mask A)

"Don't worry, we're all veterans, we won't make those kinds of silly mistakes!" (Mask B)

"Thump!"

Just as the executioners raised their hands, about to swing their instruments of torture, the Blue-haired boy in the middle suddenly broke free of his restraints and slowly walked to the Leader A in armor.

"Stop!"

"I was the one who planned this operation; it has nothing to do with them!"

"Jellal! (Woolie, Erza, Simon)"

"Jellal, dear! (Milliana)"

Observing the behavior of the escaped prisoners opposite him, Leader A understood that the real mastermind was not the Blue-haired boy in front of him, but he did not want to pursue the matter, because all he needed was a chicken to scare the monkeys.

"Men, take this kid to Shentreliev, and lock the rest of the guys in the cell."

"Yes!"

Just as the Blue-haired boy was being carried away and flown into the distance, a hint of doubt and confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Jellal, I'm sorry, but if you don't step in and take the blame, that silly girl will definitely step forward." (Old Suo: Anyway, you're going to go in the end, so you'll have to take the blame for that silly girl too!)

After apologizing to the Blue-haired boy in his heart, Transparent Cable immediately followed the escort team heading to the prison.

Oh... right, I forgot to mention something. Before following the escorts, Chadso sent a message to the lady at the top of the tower, telling her to prepare in advance.

At the top of the tower, in a certain room

"Hehe! I didn't realize you were such a genius! (Fat Fairy Child)"

"Abutira!" (Leader B)

"By the way, when will they be arriving? (Thin Fairy Child)"

"This..."

Just as Leader B was struggling with his decision, a report came from outside the room.

"Your Excellencies, the Third District Patrol Captain is requesting an audience!"

"Hehe! Here it comes! (Thin Fairy Child)"

"Let them in!" (The Thin Fairy Child)

"Yes!"

Not long after the sounds outside the door subsided, the Leader A led the Blue-haired boy inside.

"Greetings, Your Excellencies!"

"No need! (Fat Fairy Child)"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Is this the guy who led the trouble? (Thin Fairy Child)"

"Exactly!"

"Hmm! Well done! (Thin Fairy Child)"

"Thank you for the compliment, sir!"

"Alright, you two take this and go to the storeroom to get your things!" (Fat Fairy Child)

"Thank you both for your generous gifts!" (Leader A and B)

After the two bowed and left the room, the Fat Fairy Child said to the two men holding the Blue-haired boy, "Tie him up over there, then go find your captain and collect your reward!"

"Yes!"

A short while later, only the Thin Fairy Child and the Blue-haired boy who was tied up... well, and the lady who was hiding somewhere.

"What's Old Suo So doing? Didn't he say a young girl was coming in? How did it turn into a teenager?"

"Sigh! Forget it, I'll just wait and see!"

After muttering to herself, the lady turned off her power, returning herself to silence.

"Xiao Ou, please begin your performance!"

Upon hearing the voice from the depths of his heart, the white-haired boy's eyes instantly became much rounder.

"Teacher, did you just do that?" (Hehe! Indeed, no one knows a teacher better than their student!) (PS: Unless otherwise noted, all dialogues are coded messages)

"Um... that's not important. Now, please begin your performance."

"Perform? Perform what?"

Hearing his beloved disciple's question, the idiot finally realized that although this experience was the Queen's open secret, Xiao Ou was a native and had never seen "Fairy Tail" on Earth, so naturally he didn't know how to act it out.

"Xiao Ou, from now on, you must act according to my instructions without making the slightest mistake."

Although he had no idea what kind of trouble his Daughter-Protecting Maniac teacher was up to this time, August still faithfully carried out the other party's instructions.

"Bang!"

After the sound of his fist pounding the ground drew everyone's attention, the white-haired youth said with a cold expression, "There's no turning back now. We have no choice but to get up and fight!"

While everyone was still in shock as the director intended, the male protagonist continued, "Whether you obey or escape, you cannot gain freedom. The only option is to fight. Rise up and resist to gain freedom!"

"Rumble!"

Just then, the sound of wheels rolling on the ground came from outside the door.

"Get up, everyone! It's time to work!" (Mask A)

"What are you all standing there for? Come and get your tools!" (Mask B)

Hearing the reprimands coming from beside the utility cart, the blond-haired boy (Hugh) shouted through tears, "I can't take it anymore!"

"Waaah~"

"Stop crying, get back to work!" (Mask A)

"Call out!"

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After sending the two Masked man into the wall, the white-haired boy raised the weapon he had seized and shouted, "Fight for freedom!"

"Oh~~"

After a thunderous roar of response, all the prisoners in the cell brandished their weapons and launched a counterattack.

At the top of the tower, in the torture chamber

"Huh? Moving ahead of schedule? What are you doing, Old Suo? (Ultear)"

"Stop asking questions, just get ready!" (Old Suo)

"But... (Lady)"

"No buts, just get to that step. Hurry, Erza's coming soon!" (Old Suo)

After the inner voice faded, the lady, her face flushed, huffed and puffed, "Hmph! So it turns out it was all for her precious daughter! Really! But... I think I kind of like it!"

"Phew~~"

After taking a deep breath, the lady slowly walked towards the bound boy. Just then, a divine intervention arrived and lured the Thin Fairy Child away from the room.

"My lords, something terrible has happened! The slaves have mutinied!" (Messenger A)

"When did this happen? (Thin Fairy Child)"

"About twenty minutes ago!"

"Snort!"

The Fat Fairy Child had just finished snorting and hadn't even had time to finish speaking when the second wave of messengers arrived.

"My lords, the slaves have breached the third district and are heading this way." (Messenger B)

"What?! They actually breached the Third District! What are the guards there doing?!" (Fat Fairy Child)

"My lord, we have done everything in our power to hold them off, but the leader is just too strong. We can't stop him at all!" (Messenger B)

"Hmph! Can't even hold off a bunch of slaves, what a waste! (Thin Fairy Child)"

"Alright, there's no use blaming them now, let's hurry up and send them out..."

"Boom!"

The scene from a few minutes ago reappeared, but this time, what interrupted Fat Fairy Child was not the messenger, but a deafening explosion.

"What happened? (Fat Fairy Child)"

Not long after the roar subsided, the Masked man who had been guarding the door stumbled in.

"My lords, a huge fireball just fell from the sky and destroyed all the nearby Magic Soldier. Now those slaves are charging this way!" (Guard A)

"A giant fireball? What giant fireball? (Thin Fairy Child)"

"Call out!"

As if to answer the questions of the fat and Thin Fairy Child, an orange-red fireball slid across the doorway and crashed into the ground in the distance.

"Boom!"

Perhaps because the explosion occurred relatively close to the site, the entire tower was shaken violently by the blast.

"It's a magical attack! We've been targeted by a mage!" (Thin Fairy Child)

The moment the roar subsided, a terrifying memory from several years ago suddenly flashed before their eyes.

"Damn it! We've all hidden here, how come these mad dogs still chased us! (Fat Fairy Child)"

"It's no use talking about this now. Let's think about how to deal with them!" (Thin Fairy Child)

"Buzz!"

As soon as the two finished speaking, a silver light flashed in the room, and then a slender figure blocked the doorway.

"So this is where you guys were hiding! No wonder I couldn't find you anywhere in Fiore!"

"Who are you, daring to trespass into the Tower of Paradise? Do you want to die?" (Thin Fairy Child)

"Heh! I never thought those two who escaped back then would become so arrogant now!"

Upon hearing the door god's words, the fat and Thin Fairy Child instantly tensed up.

"Who... who are you, and why... (Fat Fairy Child)"

"Hmph! If you two hadn't been absent back then, you'd probably be squatting in the Magic Council's dungeon, just like your companions, grinding your teeth in hatred at me!"

"You... you... are... it's you? (The Thin Fairy Child)"

"Whether it was me or not, go ask your colleagues in prison!"

Sensing the magical fluctuations emanating from the other's palm, the Thin Fairy Child hurriedly dodged to the sides.

"Call out!"

"Boom!"

The biting wind swept through the middle area, carving a large hole in the wall behind.

"Hmph! You dodged pretty quickly!"

"Whoosh!"

Hearing the cold snort and the whooshing sound carried by the cold wind, the Thin Fairy Child immediately realized that something was wrong, so they hurriedly pulled up the paving stones under their feet and jumped down.
