Chapter Twenty-Three: Back to the Demon Tail
"Bang~~", a column of water exploded on the sea, a figure appeared from the water column, and one turned over and landed on the shore. He shook his hair, picked up Fan's clothes on the shore, and walked home. This figure was none other than Virgil, who had finished his cultivation.
After these years of cultivation, Virgil has gradually mastered the power of the demon, and there will no longer be that uncontrolled rampage. It can be said that it has been the biggest gain in the past few years, and of course, it has also made significant progress in other aspects. However, in the past few years, due to the cultivation according to the original plan, the current Virgil has become very lazy. Although the personality is still a little cold, it has gradually developed towards Dante's character.
It is reported that seven years have passed since leaving Fairy Tail. This year is 784, and theoretically when the plot begins, but I don't know which month it is, so I have no choice but to wait. Fortunately, Harugion is not very big, and if Natsu is here, it will be easy to spot.

"Maggie, what are you doing!" said Virgil to the little girl who made the noise. "I'm cleaning, uncle. Maggie replied.
Maggie is the child that Virgil picked up while working at the office during these years. A cute little girl with black hair and wheat-colored skin. At that time, Virgil's office had just opened in Harugion, and there was little business. But fortunately, I have the ability not to be afraid of others not knowing the goods. Because he had no business, Virgil had to buy some souvenirs from his previous travels, such as some rare herbs or parts of Warcraft. Through these things, the locals became aware of Virgil, and gradually people hired him to complete some tasks. Maggie was picked up during a mission.
At that time, he was hired to clean up the monsters, but by that time, most of the town had been destroyed by the monsters, and Maggie's family had died at the hands of the monsters, and Virgil saw him as pitiful, so he adopted her. But trouble always feels like trouble after it happens, and apparently Virgil thinks so.
Since Virgil lives alone, the environment of the office can be said to be quite chaotic. At first, Maggie and Virgil were not very familiar with each other, and kept a certain distance from the person who adopted her. However, after living with Virgil for a few months, he gradually got to know Virgil's character. "It's a little cold, but overall he's a good person," that's Maggie's assessment. So the identities of Maggie and Virgil seem to have dropped, originally Maggie's age should have been taken care of, but with Virgil, a person who doesn't even bother to take care of himself, how can he take care of others, so Virgil's depressed life began.
First, the pizza (assuming it is) was eaten in limited quantities, even though it was only at home, but it still made Virgil unhappy, and then the strawberry sundae was stolen (which I also liked, mainly in honor of our Dingo), and the increased daily expenses caused a lot of headaches for Virgil, who didn't like to work very much. As for the other depressive things, there are too many to go into detail, in short, Virgil feels that he has not adopted an orphan, but picked up an old mother and brought it back.

On this day, Virgil arrived alone, and the restaurant he frequented, ordered a pizza and a strawberry sundae as usual, ready to enjoy a leisurely afternoon. However, today obviously won't let him be so leisurely, today is a special day. Because there was a familiar voice and dialogue in my ears.
On closer inspection, it turned out that Lucy, Natsu and Harpy had come to this store, and Natsu's exaggerated eating style attracted my attention. By this time, Lucy had begun to tell Natsu about her knowledge of the Wizards' Guild. "The guild I'm going to join already has a lot of powerful magicians joining. Ahhh What should I do, it must be difficult to participate!" Lucy muttered to herself, but Natsu, who was focused on food, didn't seem to listen.
"But I'm definitely going to join that wizards' guild. If you were there, you would be able to take on a lot of big tasks. And he's in that guild too!"
Hearing this, Virgil was a little puzzled, she finally said who he was, could it be herself, could it be that her charm had become so great.
"Thank you for the food!" was Natsu's voice. "Wow! don't do that! I'll be embarrassed!" this is Lucy.
Hearing this, Virgil knew that the fun was on. Although I missed a lot of interesting things before, it was better than missing the beginning of the plot. Call the waiter and ask him to pack up and take his things with him. Get ready to find a good spot and enjoy the next big show.
Put on a hat and a pair of glasses. Bringing the packed pizza, he calmly walked past Natsu's side.
"Sniff~~ I had a familiar smell, but I can't remember who it is. Natsu said confusedly
Sitting on the guardrail on the side of the road, he smiled silently as he looked at Natsu, who was being carried by Harpy and flew into the distance. You can't get a close-up view, but it's a good place to see it. Thinking about taking out a piece of pizza, he waited for the show to start while eating.
"It's... It is... A Demontail Magician?" Lucy thought in disbelief with tears in her eyes.
"Knock~~" Natsu, who broke through the ceiling, fell into the cabin, looking at the slave merchants very handsomely, like the hero who saved the beauty.
"Uh......h It didn't work, and sure enough, it still didn't work. He fainted as he spoke.
"Hey!? isn't reliable at allβ!!" Natsu's performance surprised Lucy. Lucy was then taken out by Harpy, followed by a pillar of fire and bullets.
"Lucy, listen......"
"What's the matter, now at a time like this!"
"The transformation technique has failed!" a man and a cat fell into the water.
Immediately afterwards Virgil saw a huge wave that carried the whole ship from the harbor. "Whew, is it going to be over?" muttered Virgil. Sure enough, before he could finish speaking, a huge pillar of fire rushed out of the boat, "It's still as hot as ever!" After saying that, he shoved the last piece of pizza into his mouth and turned to leave. He didn't pay attention to what happened next, because it had nothing to do with him, and he was going to go back and clean up, and it was time to go back to Demon Tail.

Back at the office, Maggie was asleep and didn't prepare to wake her, so she packed up a few of her clothes and wrote a notice of transfer of the house. Although he is a little reluctant, he can't open the office next to the demon tail and steal business with the old man, it is estimated that Makarov will kill him in that case. Walked back down the hall, looked around the room where he had lived for five, picked up the club, and put it down again. "I'm leaving tomorrow!"
took Maggie back to the town where he had been away for five or six years, looked at the guild in the distance and smiled, now is not the time to meet, go find a house first, and then let's talk about it.
