Chapter Ninety-Seven: Doubts about the Future

"Old man, your joke is so funny, you must think these things are moldy, so you want to take these things out to dry, ahaha, you are too funny, drag such a big burden, ahaha" Natsu flashed to Makanov's side and knocked on Makanov's big burden and laughed.

"Natsu, you think I'm joking?" asked Makanov, looking at Natsu.

"......" Natsu was silent, although he was scolded by Gray for his low IQ, but a fool could see that Makanov was serious, and besides, he was not a fool, he was just slow and sluggish to play his cards.

"President, you need your seat here, and you're willing to leave like this?" said Mirajane.

"Even without me, I think there must be someone who can run the union better than I am," Makanov said softly.

"But......" Mirajan was about to say something, but Makanov directly interrupted him.

"I've made up my mind, don't try to persuade me," Makanov said, and then began to pull the burden hard.

"Damn, it's stuck, who's going to help me," Makanov said as he gritted his teeth as he pulled his burden.

There was no movement among the crowd, joking who would help Makanov.

"......" Makanov suddenly remembered that he was going to decide to leave the union, and he actually said such a thing, would people help him? Although he was a little dissatisfied, he was very relieved in his heart: "These stupid children still want me to stay" At this moment, Makanov had the idea of staying, but it only lasted for a second, and he returned to the decision to leave the union.

"Under the leadership of me, the president, there have been successive incidents of Ivan and Lagersas, can this still be considered a qualified union president?" Makanov thought to himself.

"And this departure is also for the good of the union, Lagersas may leave to find Ivan, I must find Ivan before Lagersas, that guy has bad information about Fairy Tail, that information must not be revealed," Makanov thought to himself with a frown.

"Damn, the burden is too big and it's stuck in the door, and I can't take it out separately, otherwise I'll be thrown back by Natsu one by one, and the others will follow suit, and I can't use force, that will break the door, and I need to spend money to repair it, and I can't throw away these things, this is all my belongings," Makanov glanced at Natsu and said depressedly.

"President, have you really decided to leave the union and not become president?" said Fillid as he squeezed in from the crowd.

"Fillid, why did your hair become like this?" Makanov looked at Fillid, puzzled, as Fillet shaved off his long hair and looked like a monk.

"Filid's hair wasn't like this just now, why did it suddenly become like this," Mirajan wondered.

"I see, just now Philid shaved his hair like this," Kana said.

"This hairstyle was shaved in repentance for the wrong things I did, and I'm sorry that everyone has suffered so much," Fillid turned and bent down at everyone.

"Didn't you say that everything was over?" Qin Xiu said.

"Well, that's all in the past," Elusa said, nodding as she spoke.

Filid looked up at the crowd, and when he saw that they didn't have any unusual eyes, he propped himself up and turned to look at Makanov.

"President, please don't let Lagerthas's sins increase," Filid said, looking at Makanov.

"If Lagsas knew that you had stepped down as president for ...... reason," Fillid said without saying any more, for the rest of the words were clear to Makanov.

"Lagersas still likes this union, and if I do so, it will indeed make Lagersas do some irrational actions at once," Makanov bowed his head and pondered after listening to Filid's words.

"But what if Ragsas goes to find Ivan," Makanov thought to himself, "Forget it, and Guggill is here, he should help me watch Ivan's movements."

"Besides............ I really can't do anything about this baggage," Makanov sighed as he looked at the huge burden behind him.

"Help me," Makanov whispered.

"No, unless you don't leave the union, we'll help," Natsu said.

"It's to help me get the baggage in, it's stuck in the door," Makanov said dissatisfied.

"Mira, give me a cup of black tea, I'm thirsty," Makanov said.

"Huh?" the crowd froze, "Old man, aren't you leaving?" asked Gray hesitantly looking at Makanov.

"Am I gone?" Makanov said angrily.

"That's right," Natsu laughed.

Fillid laughed, followed by the crowd.

"I'll go get ready right away," Mirajan said happily, and walked back to prepare the tea.

"Help me pack my baggage," Makanov said.

"Let us Thor clean it up," Fillid said.

"Okay" Makanov nodded and walked to the bar, where he had always been accustomed to sitting, and the crowd gave Makanov the way to follow him.

"Hey, old man, there's one thing I can't figure out," Natsu began.

"What's the matter?" asked Makanov, glancing at Natsu.

"Why did you expel Ragsas from the union?" asked Natsu.

"He did something bad for the union, so he had to be expelled," Makanov said lightly.

"What, isn't everyone all right?, and I'm going to fight him alone, I'm going to beat him alone," Natsu shouted.

"I'm going to be stronger next time and beat that guy by myself," Natsu continued.

"......" Makanov was silent, not that he did not know how to say it, but that he did not want to say it.

"That's enough, Natsu, do you think the president is willing to expel Lagersas from the union?" said Elusa, holding down the yelling Natsu.

"Uh" Natsu paused, looking at Elusa quizzically.

"The president also has a hard time," Elusa said with a glance at Makanov, who didn't say anything, and Elusa could guess some of why Makanov was silent now, no, because it should be sullen.

"Love, Ragsas is a dragon slayer like Natsu," Harpy said abruptly on Natsu's shoulder.

Natsu immediately fell silent when he heard this, Lagsas was expelled from the union and could not be asked, but this matter was very important to him, Lagsas was actually a dragon slayer.

"No, Ragsas is not a dragon slayer," Makanov said.

Makanov shocked everyone as soon as he spoke, how could a dragon-slaying magician use dragon-slaying magic if it wasn't a dragon-slaying magic?

"Ragsas was implanted with a magic crystal with dragon-slaying magic because he was a child because he was not in good health and could not bear the magic inherited from his body," Makanov said.

"The magic crystal of dragon-slaying magic, there is such a thing," Harpy was surprised.

Natsu was dumbfounded, he didn't expect such a thing in this world.

"Is it that as long as the dragon slayer crystal is implanted, it will become as strong as Lagersas, I want to find one for my son," said Macao on the side, I don't know when Macao returned to the union, followed by Wakaba.

"That kind of thing is not so easy to get as soon as you hear it, so you better stop dreaming," Wakaba said.

"It's just a joke," Marcao said.

"President, there's something I need you to nod my head about," Qin Xiu said at this time.

"What's the matter?" asked Makanov.

"That's it, Xiaoya wants to join the union, so I need your consent," Qin Xiu pulled Siqiya in front of him and said.

"Is this very sweet little girl? is it from there?" asked Makanov.

"She's from the Sturmodala Consortium," Qin Xiu said.

"Oh, Stemodra," Makanov nodded slightly, as if he didn't care.

Suddenly, Makanov exclaimed, "What? Sterodra?" with a look of surprise on his face.

"Ashu, you say she's from Sterodra?" Makanov looked at Sikia in surprise.

"Well, she is the cousin of Miss Ixilan's daughter of the Sterodala Foundation, and she is the one who asked me to take good care of Xiaoya" Qin Xiu nodded.

"Cousin of the daughter of the Stymodala Consortium, welcome," Makanov smiled at Siqia, "I didn't expect our union to be so popular now, first the daughter of the Hatfilia Consortium, and now the cousin of the daughter of the Stemola Consortium, do you think the princess of the kingdom will come to join next time" Makanov smiled.

"Xiaoya is from the Stemola consortium, a little surprised, that famous magic prop company," Wakaba said in surprise.

"If the princess of the kingdom really joined our union, wouldn't our union be even more popular," Makao said.

"That's impossible," Makanov said, "I'm just joking, but ...... welcome" Makanov paused, because he didn't know Sikia's name yet, and Xiaoya might just be a short name.

"Sikia Aroknia," Sikia began.

"Oh, Sikia is very welcome to join Fairy Tail, since your cousin handed you over to Ashu's care and joined our union, then you are our family, we will definitely take good care of you, just tell me if you need anything" Makanov said.

"Hmm," Squia nodded.

"Great, President, here's your tea," said Mirajan as she walked over at this time.

"Thank you," Makanov said, taking the tea.

"Xiaoya, all you need to do is print the union badge, come with me," Mirazhen said.

"Let's go," Qin Xiu said.

Siqiya nodded, and walked behind Mirazhen with Qin Xiu, followed by Lucy and Harpy, Natsu didn't follow, just stayed in the chair and wanted to talk about the Dragon Slayer Demon Crystal, and it was because of this that Harpy followed Qin Xiu and the others.

After Qin Xiu and the others left, everyone dispersed, because there was nothing left to listen to, except for Elusa.

"Elusa, is there anything else you can do?" asked Makanov, taking a sip of black tea and looking at Elusa.

"Hmm," Elusa nodded.

"Say it," Makanov said.

"It's about Mistonge, I saw him the day before yesterday and found that he looked exactly like a man," said Elusa.

"Who does it look like?" Makanov was a little puzzled.

"He'......," Elusa paused, her head down, and thought for a moment, "Gerald......" Elusa began.

"Gerald, do you mean the same Gerald you encountered last time in the Paradise Tower incident?" Makanov was a little surprised.

"Hmm," Elusa nodded.

"Well, I don't know his true identity or origin, let alone that he will look exactly like the guy you know, and the union will not care about everyone's privacy, so I can't help you with this," Makanov said.

"I know," Elusa nodded.

"Hmm" Makanov nodded, suddenly remembering something, and shouted at everyone in the union, "Little ghosts, one thing I must say, everyone still remembers the ghost, don't go around talking about Sikia's identity, we have to prevent the next ghost incident, understand?"

"Yes, I won't say it," Macao replied.

"We don't want to build a union, it's really tiring, right?" said Wakaba.

"yes, we don't want to go through it a second time," everyone replied.

"Well, that's it" Makanov nodded, continuing to drink his black tea with his head down.

(PS: I'm thinking about whether to restore more than 3,000 words per chapter, some time ago each chapter was about four or five thousand words, some are still more than six thousand words, and each chapter is more than three thousand words, I feel much more relaxed than usual)
