"Then!"
"Erza, since we're already here, can you finally tell us what this is all about?"
"You..."
"This time, you got such a powerful lineup from our guild to come along. What exactly do you want us to do?"
On the train, after the two who'd been turned into little animals had changed back into people and managed to get away with two train tickets, Gray—the one man among the five people and one cat sitting in the fairly spacious carriage—finally turned to Erza and asked.
"Yeah!"
"Erza, what exactly are we supposed to do? It's not something dangerous, is it?"
Lucy asked uneasily.
Honestly, anyone with half a brain could tell that a mission requiring the strongest members of Fairy Tail to team up couldn't be anything fun. So, if possible, Lucy was already secretly hoping she could back out.

"Yeah, yeah! I've been wanting to ask, too. Is it something super fun?"
( ?ω? )
"Or... is there something especially delicious to eat?!"
Annie didn't care whether it was dangerous or some other nonsense. As long as the job was fun or came with something tasty to eat, she was fine with it, no matter how difficult or dangerous it might be!

She still remembered that goal!
So she had to get it done while she still remembered. Otherwise, after a while, she might get so caught up having fun that she'd forget
