"So big..."
"How beautiful..."
"Wow~!"
"Is this Happy's new home?"
"..."
After more than a month had passed, Erza, Natsu, and the others had finally recovered from their injuries and were ready to move out of Annie and Lucy's home. They hadn't visited the guild headquarters in several days, and when they arrived, they were all astonished to discover that the headquarters, which had been damaged in the battle against Phantom Lord and eventually razed to the ground, had been replaced by a new, larger, taller, and more beautiful castle for Fairy Tail.
None of them had expected Master Makarov and the others to work so hard. They'd led a large group of mages in a frantic construction effort and finished the whole thing in less than two months!
"Quit gawking!"
"Let's go!"
"Come on, let's go inside and have a look!"
"Natsu!"
"Annie! You two, hurry up!"
"Whoa!"
"Th-this is an open-air café?"
Amazed and delighted, Lucy, Erza, Gray, and Happy were the first to charge through the iron-fenced courtyard gates. Following behind them were Natsu, who for some reason seemed rather reluctant, and a little girl who'd seen it all before and didn't think it was anything special.
"..."
(ˉ▽￣~) Tch~~
Annie was actually rather unimpressed. She didn't think the new Fairy Tail guild castle was anything special. It was nowhere near as good as her old Sulfuron Keep or the palace in the City of Flame!
Still, unimpressed as she was, she followed the others into the new headquarters, ready to see what the new guild that would one day belong to the great Queen Annie was like.
"Look, look!"
"There's not only an open-air café here, there's even a general store!"
"That's right..."
"Oh my gosh!"
"Lucy, Lucy, come look! They're selling figurines of you here!"
