True and False Young Miss?

The exact reason.

Hehe...

(￣︶￣)↗

It was too embarrassing to say. You know what I mean.

"Who's that?"

"I know her, I know her."

"The former 'Fairy Queen,' and the cover girl from Sorcerer Magazine."

"Why do they look so young? Time hasn't left a single mark on them. If I remember right, they must be... seventy by now?"

Although Lucy and Juvia had taken excellent care of themselves, they still looked around forty. Compared to those girls' youthful faces and skin smooth enough to break with a puff... they were utterly crushed in an instant.

"Yeah, it's so incredible."

"I heard they disappeared during a mission. It seemed like they retired..."

"Who knows."

The new generation of Fairy Tail mages chattered among themselves in hushed voices, their eyes full of curiosity and gossip as they looked at the two women.

"You little brats, don't you have work to do?" Gray emerged slowly, his voice loud and rough.

Twenty years as guild master still carried plenty of authority over these little punks. They scattered in fright.

"Gray, you're becoming more and more like Master Makarov." Erza wanted to pat Gray on the shoulder as she always had, but considering how their positions had changed, she drew back her hand.

Gray noticed, but said nothing. "Haha... Seeing you two really brings back memories of everyone from back then. By the way, now that you're back... are you staying for good, or just for a while?"

Mirajane smiled. "Not permanently, but it'll be close enough."

"Oh?" Lucy's eyes lit up.

She had once gone with Natsu and the others to the world of One Piece, but... over there, she had merely been a baboon. Although the world of One Piece also had the Twelve Zodiac, that was all there was to it.
