Tenrou Island, Tenrou Tree, on a branch
Staring at the extra red dot on the silver disc, Sordil's brows drew tightly together.
"Why did these guys arrive so much earlier than scheduled?"
Before he could figure out the answer, a red dot sped toward the New Moon in the upper-right corner of the disc.
"This is bad!"
"Colverman and the others have been targeted!"
With that thought, he hurriedly stood up. Yet just as the Silver light circle was about to be completed, Sordil suddenly jumped back.
"No!"
"If that idiot Azuma comes while I'm gone, the Guild Master and the others will be in danger!"
Under the pressure of his subordinates and companions, Lazy God lost his usual calm and paced back and forth without stopping.
"What do I do... what do I do?"
"What exactly should I do?"
"Bang!"
Distracted, Old Suo had an intimate encounter with the Tenrou Tree's trunk. A pink, fleshy dragon horn immediately began growing from his forehead at a visible pace.
"Oh dear, how stupid of me!"
As he spoke, Sordil raised his right hand and slapped his forehead.
"I can have someone come guard this place, then go deal with that unruly little brat!"
The next second, several faces rapidly flashed through his mind.
"Seki needs to conserve his strength for Hades and Bluenote. Mira is the base's guarantee of safety, while Erza has to remain mobile to ensure Natsu and the others are safe."
"Hmm... looks like Laxus is the only one who can come!"
"But... that guy's endurance..."
At that thought, Lazy God's head began hurting again.
"Eh... how could I forget Laxus's special sedative?!"
"Right! That's what I'll do!"
Having made up his mind, Old Suo did not hesitate. He immediately sent out his arrangements through Mind Talk.
