"As long as there's enough alcohol, that's fine."
Bai Yu smiled and patted Erza's head again, adding a comment.
Jura Neekis and the others were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Looking at Erza's face, which was full of joy.
They never imagined that the prize they had painstakingly presented would be less appealing than a bottle of wine.
Tatsumaki, standing to the side, rolled her eyes and said, "Ha, men have plenty of beautiful women, don't they?"
These words were an unexpected and devastating blow.
After exchanging a glance, Jura Neekis and Ichiya instantly admitted defeat.
At least, look at the Fairy Tail team that came to carry out this mission.
They then clearly understood where they had gone wrong.
Between the president and a beauty, the beauty is definitely more appealing.
If they were given the choice, they would undoubtedly choose the beautiful woman.
What's the point of being the president? Who would want someone who's a bachelor for life?
This time, they truly accepted their defeat.
Looking at Jura Neekis and Ichiya, he instantly gave me a knowing look.
Bai Yu rubbed his chin helplessly.
This time, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't wash away the stain.
However, let it be a misunderstanding, as long as we don't try to distort his sexual orientation.
" Bai Yu, what should we do now?"
Feeling the strange looks around her, Erza blushed slightly and quickly changed the subject.
Originally, the four major guilds gathered here solely to counter the Oración Seis's plan to invade Nirvana Magic.
The Oración Seis have now been defeated by Bai Yu alone.
So there's probably not much point in them staying here any longer.
Bai Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, President Robaul seems to have already tried to notify the Magic Council. I think someone will come to clean up the mess soon."
"Hmm, you arrived so quickly?"
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow. His Observation Haki had already covered an area of tens of kilometers, instantly detecting several familiar auras.
"I'll be right back. You can stay here."
After uttering these words, Bai Yu vanished into thin air as if by magic.
This Body Flicker Technique, without any magical fluctuations, caused Jura Neekis, Ichiya, and the others to change their expressions.
At least in their eyes, if Bai Yu were to suddenly attack them...
Whether or not this will happen is another matter entirely.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the Nirvana Forest.
The enforcement team of the Magic Council, led by Lahar, gathered here.
Yajima was also among them.
" Lahar, what's wrong? Are you worried?" Yajima asked with a smile, his hands behind his back.
"Right now, all you can do is trust that guy can defeat the Oración Seis."
"Otherwise, let alone the Nirvana Magic falling into the hands of the Oración Seis, does your enforcement team intend to fight the Oración Seis with your meager arms and legs?"
"You should have witnessed that guy's strength firsthand. If even he couldn't defeat the Oración Seis, I don't think Jura Neekis could either."
"Don't forget, that guy boasted that he planned to take down the Oración Seis by himself. Although we don't know if it's true, that alone is enough to put our minds at ease."
At this point, Yajima frowned and looked towards the canopy of trees to the side.
" Ur, now that you're here, why are you hiding? That's not like you at all."
Ur?
Lahar's expression changed drastically.
As the captain of the Custody Enforcement Unit, he knew very well that the person Yajima called Ur was a former member of the Magic Council.
Siegrain, who impersonated Jellal's thought form, was hailed as one of the most promising new talents in the Magic Council.
Its sudden appearance undoubtedly put Lahar on edge.
"Heh, Yajima, aside from not being senile as ever, you're still just as naive."
A figure dressed in a white short skirt and kimono emerged from the shadows.
Behind them was a huge purple magic crystal, inside which lay a very familiar figure, causing Yajima and Lahar's expressions to change drastically.
"What's wrong? Do you all think Siegrain really dead?" Ultear chuckled.
"I regret to inform you that Siegrain is not dead."
" The Oración Seis's attack on Nirvana this time was certainly part of my plan."
"By the way, I think I just heard that the person you're praising so highly must be Bai Yu, the Fairy Tail newcomer who's rumored to be replacing me and Siegrain as a council member, right?"
"He might actually have some strength, but he should save his energy against the Oración Seis."
"Can someone who's merely filling in for us possibly be stronger than us, their seniors?"
"That's not a funny joke."
At this point, Ultear conjured a crystal ball out of thin air and smiled knowingly.
"By the way, since it's rare for us to be here, it's great to meet you all."
"Then I'll take care of you all as well."
"But don't worry, in this godforsaken place, screaming your lungs out won't do any good."
" Arc of Time: The Rampage of the Ancient Forest!"
Buzz!
Ultear frantically poured powerful magic into the crystal ball.
The next moment, the crystal ball in Ultear's hand burst forth with a dazzling green light, giving it the feel of a small sun.
Wherever the green light passed, the surrounding forest stirred up like a sleeping giant.
One after another, enormous tree roots, resembling writhing dragons, burst forth from the ground and rapidly coiled around Yajima and the others.
From a distance, it looks like an ocean of tree roots.
Seeing the overwhelming, ocean-like wave of tree roots sweeping in, Lahar's expression changed instantly.
The wind magic defensive barrier hastily unleashed was clearly worlds apart from the overwhelming, sweeping attack before them.
If they were to actually collide, they would probably be torn apart like paper in a single glance.
"Former MP Yajima, you'd better run! I'll cover your retreat!" Lahar shouted urgently.
As a former senator, Yajima was also an S-Class Mage in his youth.
Furthermore, they are proficient in various forms of magic, including stealth and escape.
The incident at the Magic Council that day was also orchestrated by Yajima, who remained hidden in the shadows, escaping the notice of Ultear and Jellal.
He overheard their plan right under their noses, which ultimately prevented a major disaster.
It's fair to say that if Yajima were willing to run freely, Lahar believed Yajima would have a real chance of leaving the place alive.
However, despite these words, Yajima still stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the Sky Walk in full view of everyone.
"No need, that guy seems to be here."
