An extremely silent and strange atmosphere permeated the air.
On the broad street, only Noah and his group were present.
Opposite them, the girl named Yukino seemed to walk beneath the moonlight, taking quiet steps as she approached Noah's group one step at a time.
Yet in Yukino's eyes, which brimmed with powerful resolve, there was no one besides Noah.
As though she had not even noticed the rest of Fairy Tail, Yukino came to within two or three meters of Noah and fixed her gaze directly on him.
