(hah...... ）

Sitting in the carriage on its way to the rendezvous on the outskirts of Agalifa, the melancholy blonde girl sighed heavily. Ｘ

(Why, was I assigned to participate in such a dangerous battle...... ）

Covering her stiff cheeks, Lucy still couldn't believe that the crusade against the Dark Guild had come to her so soon.

She just wants to have a good rookie adventure, isn't it too fast to enter this stage of 'master duel' all of a sudden?

And this mission, the team she is in ......

“…… Damn, hasn't it arrived yet? It's so hot to sit next to this flame hanging eye! ”

Dissatisfied, this is Lucy's teammate No. 1, the ice-shaped magician Grevor Pasta with a stripping quirk.

"Huh......?! Uh-huh...... Want to fight...... Hmm...... You're ...... Forehead...... Sagging eye ice cubes ......! ”

The cherry-haired boy who rolls his eyes and looks like he can't do it is Lucy's teammate No. 2, the fire slayer dragon wizard Nazdora Ragnir who has no problem with vehicles.

"Ouch! Lucy! Have you seen my fish? ”

The blue kitten who can speak human words, Lucy's teammate No. 3, and Harpy, who has no nervousness but occupies a spot.

And the last captain of this five-person team was supposed to be the most heart-warming figure for Lucien, but since he got into the carriage, he has become weird.

"Alas......"

Looking out of the car window with confused eyes, Lucy didn't expect that the resolute Elusa still had such a side.

This mission sounds very dangerous, wouldn't it be too bad if the person in charge was not in a state in the first place?!

(hmm...... I really envy Leibi and them...... ）

Compared to her 'unreliable' companions, the other group with S-class alternate qualifications to participate in this mission was led by the man with the strongest fairy tail.

Kildas, Ayluffman, Rebi, Kana, Filid...... No matter how you think about it, this team is safer......

Holding her arm uneasily, Lucy felt that her future was worrying......

The Sea of Wass Tree, the villa of the Witch's Poem.

“…… Hehe, it looks like our guests are starting to enter. ”

Placing the ever-changing crystal ball on the table, Urrutia smiled casually, though her incomprehensible gaze occasionally lingered on Gray's.

"Hmmm......"

(Ten of Fairy Tails came this time, five of Snake Queen's Scales, and four of Blue Pegasus...... It's all familiar faces...... ）

Also looking at the information in front of her, Zela slowly reconciled the people with her own memories.

However, she didn't expect Makarov to send Kirdas over.

(Looks like the old man is also thinking about retirement...... ）

Because of the relationship between the new birth and the star spirit, Zela's current concept of time has completely departed from the realm of ordinary people.

If memory serves, Makarov has been in office for almost half a century, and is the longest-reigning Boss of Youwei, so it's not surprising that he would consider this kind of question.

(I just don't know how Kildas will react when he sees me here.) ）

With a mischievous smile, as the only witness to the battle, Zela wondered what the bohemian uncle would have looked like at that time.

"By the way, Erin, how is the layout of the 'battlefield'?"

"No problem, it's all 'set up'."

chuckling and nodded, Erin was also looking forward to this 'collision'.

After all, this is also her chance to 'discipline' her daughter well.

“…… Just don't go overboard. ”

"Oh, you're a ......"

……

"Oh, here it is."

At the meeting place of the Bright Alliance around the Vastree Outer Circle, Kana, who was holding a wine bottle, looked at the magic guide four-wheeled who stopped not far away and wiped her mouth.

"Hmph, it's finally here."

"To be a man is to be the first to reach !!"

With a light snort, Filid of the Thor team still maintained his usual cold image, while Ayluffman beside him raised his fist and shouted his mantra in high spirits.

"Xiao Lu!"

"Rebi!"

Getting out of the car and cheerfully saying hello to her good sister, Lucy looked at Lebby's teammates, then at her partner, and immediately pulled down a few black lines.

There is no harm without contrast.

An exposed man who only wears shorts, a hot-blooded fool who is worse than dead because of motion sickness, a cat with a fish on his back, and a captain who wanders the world.

“…… Lebby, can I apply for a change of team now......"

"Ahaha......"

Tearfully pleading with his friend, who could only smile helplessly.

Reiby, who had been in the guild longer than Lucy, knew these unobtrusive guys better than she did.

Well, they're still very powerful at critical moments......

Should......

"Let's do it together, ...... Lu"

"Woo, I don't have confidence anymore......"

……

"Anyway, haven't the members of the other guilds arrived yet?"

After resting for a while, Lucy, who noticed that no one else had arrived, looked around strangely.

She remembered that the president had said that this was a union of the three major guilds, and that the Serpent Scales and Blue Pegasus would also participate.

“…… That's right! Pegasus' guild should be the closest to here, why don't they return it too! ”

Just as Rebi was wondering, their place was suddenly covered in a large shadow.

"Hey! What do you see that?! ”

Following Gray's shout, everyone looked up towards the sky.

A huge aerial battleship stopped above, and then, a faint black dot in mid-air grew larger and larger in sight.

Looks like someone jumped from above?!

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the dwarf figure in a white suit slammed its face to the ground.

“……”

The man who didn't care about the cold atmosphere and injuries, and whose face could only be described as peculiar still didn't forget to pose with his face on the ground and say irritating words.

"This familiar aroma, I'm just for you all night, sweethearts, man!"

“？！”

In this regard, all the female magicians subconsciously took three steps back after hearing this.

In the midst of the noisy exchanges, after the other three main members of the Blue Pegasus on the Sky Battleship appeared one by one, the only remaining guild also arrived at the scene with its members.

“…… It seems like we're the last group. ”

A calm male voice came from behind the crowd, and the bald man at the head was branded with the coat of arms of a snake.

"It's okay, Mr. Quira, doesn't that mean the main character always appears last?"

A slight smile of conceit followed, and Gray's eyes widened in disbelief at the sound of this voice.

"Leon?!"

"Long time no see, Gray."

Two brothers from the Northern Ice Field, although their life trajectories have been different, they still meet here like fate.

"Gula?! Is that one of the Holy Eleven, the dove of rock iron?! ”

To the belated leader of the group, the Blue Pegasus members shouted in shock.

I really didn't expect that this crusade would have a strong person at the Saint Ten level to join.

It's just that this Holy Ten is now focusing all his attention on a middle-aged man who is leaning against a tree and yawning.

(Could that be the man...... ）

“…… It seems that the 'guests' have already arrived. ”

“？！”

At this moment, a sudden strange and powerful magic enveloped everyone present.

"Although it is a little incomprehensible to disturb your friendly exchange, then, please allow me to say a word."

"Welcome to the Witch's Proving Ground."

With an unparalleled sense of oppression, the crimson-haired mature queen with a scepter of antlers in her hand,
