X787, an uninhabited desert on the outskirts of the Village of the Sun. Fastest updates

“…… Letter? ”

Sitting cross-legged on the stones, a few strands of gold could be faintly seen in the white hair, scratching his head, looking uninterested.

Although he looks like he is a certain age on the outside, his body may have been exercising, and he looks very healthy.

"Ahh

Answering succinctly, another old man with a long white beard nodded.

"Tsk...... Anyway, it's from the New Senate, those guys are really haunted, and we're all hiding here in Volod and won't give up. ”

Shaking off the letter in his hand, Yuri Dorea, who was already more than 100 years old, could guess the contents without even reading it.

Three years ago, since the dissolution of the old council, Josepola and the first of the ten gods Selene broke out one after another, and people also had a crisis of confidence in the ten best magicians defined by the wizarding world.

Fortunately, the situation was quickly stabilized by the appeasement of the new Speaker and the youngest Holy Ten, Gerald Fernandis, but the rearranged Holy Ten was still vacant.

As a show of force on the continent of Ishgar, its importance is self-evident.

I have heard that the first of the Holy Ten is a woman named Erin Belcellion.

So there is one missing.

I don't know where I got the news, but not long after they returned from other continents, the new council sent people to invite them out of the mountain every now and then, which was very annoying.

They are all old men who are about to go to the ground, who have no interest in those who have taken risks all their lives, and now they just want to live a quiet life.

What a bunch of imps who don't know how to understand!

With a scolding voice, Yuri just wanted to throw the letter away as usual, but was uncharacteristically stopped by Preshito.

"Yuri, I think it's better for you to take a look."

"Huh?"

Giving a strange glance at Presito, Yuri flipped the letter over and looked at the signature behind it.

“……？！”

Then, his eyes widened as if he had seen something incredible.

“！！！”

With trembling hands, he tore open the letter, and Yuri's face became more and more excited.

It didn't take long for someone's old face to become extremely happy, as if he had suddenly become much younger.

“……”

"They're ......!"

"Hey! Volod! Stop playing with your flowers! ”

Clutching the letter paper in his hand, Yuri suddenly rushed into the house and shouted at the tree-faced old man who was leisurely watering.

"Ahh Wait, wait! What the hell is going on! Don't drag! The old man's waist!! ”

Volod was confused about his old friend's inexplicable behavior, and could only admit that his friend had accidentally held on to the place he had just been twisted.

The nostalgic noise gradually spread into the distance, and the land of twilight seemed to be rejuvenated.

Humming and clasping his hands, Presito, full of emotion, looked at the clear sky.

The years have passed, but some things have not changed.

……

************************************************************************************************************************

The royal capital of Crokas, the venue of the convention Tom Brau.

The changes in the past three years have not been clearly reflected in this famous flower capital, but the flow of people has increased a lot recently.

Because in order to select the first guild that is worthy of Fiorlie's name, the first Great Demon Fighting Competition is about to begin.

……

"That's it! The biggest annual celebration of magic of the year is finally coming off! ”

In the round arena full of people, the live commentary brother standing in the judges' seat has skillfully mobilized the atmosphere of the scene, and introduced the guests invited on both sides of him in turn.

The old man is Mr. Yakima, a former councilor who retired from the Council and has been cheering for Fairy Tail.

The beautiful lady is the biggest sponsor of the competition, Lady Layla of the Hatfilia chaebol.

When it came to her daughter's guild, the lady was happy to stand up and support her on the big screen.

As for the 'happy' daughter, she was sitting in the player's room blushing at this time.

“…… Well, mom she's really ......."

Hearing her mother's cheering voice, the thin-faced blonde lady lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Relax, Lucy."

Patting Lucy's stiff shoulder, Elusa smiled encouragingly.

"Yes, yes! Just send all the enemies flying! ”

"Ahh We won't give up the number one position in Fiori to anyone! ”

Laughing confidently, Natsu and Gray were also calming their nerves in their own ways.

"Everybody......"

"Hehe, this can't be said~"

“！”

As if the timing had been calculated, Gray's familiar chuckle came from outside the door.

"Are you...... Urrutia?! ”

"Isn't it ......!"

"Is that the one ~ we will participate this time ~ "

Leaning against the doorrail, Urrutia looked pleasant to be given this 'surprise'.

Confirming this fact, the members of the Demon Tail Lounge all collapsed.

After the crusade three years ago, the people who returned to the guild asked Makarov a lot of inside information, and naturally knew how 'terrifying' that guild was.

Recently, I did hear that they seem to be certified as official guilds, but I didn't expect to meet them here.

“…… It's okay, have you forgotten, the guild leader can't participate in the competition. ”

With a snort, Elusa knew what her companions were worried about.

Because after a certain girl 'left', her mother became the second president.

"And even if she does participate, I will definitely defeat her this time!"

Burning with fighting spirit without giving in, all these years, our fairy queen has not spent all these years in vain.

"Whew...... So, are you here to 'declare war' on us? ”

Waving his hand, Gray, who had digested the information, looked at his senior sister.

"No, I'm not that boring."

Shrugging her shoulders, Urrutia felt in her pocket, as if looking for something.

“…… I have been entrusted with fulfilling my promise to your little brother of the Dragon Slayer Magister. ”

“…… I? ”

Following what she pulled out, everyone's attention was on Natsu, and their eyes became gossipy.

"That's it, I've already delivered the things, so let's cheer each other on after that~"

Turning away in style, Urrutia didn't explain anything.

“……”

"There's a leg!"

Covering the cat's mouth and the sharp-eyed Harpy, he spoke his heart on behalf of everyone.

"There's a ghost!"

Screaming frantically, Natsu also looked at the object in his hand in distress.

It was just a very ordinary little box.

"Open it and look at it, won't you?"

When they got closer, Lucy and the others were curious.

At the urging of his companions, Natsu reluctantly opened the box in public.

A few heads looked at it, but they felt very regretful.

It wasn't a blushing gift inside, just a plain red pendant and a piece of message paper.

"Well, I'll take a look at ......"

"'Natsu, take this artifact I've improved, Kekuts, call Iguniru's name, and you'll be able to meet him. Zelarius. ’……”

“……………………………………”

“……………………”

"Alas, alas?!!!"

……

**********************************************************************************************************************

The Outer Sea of the Kingdom of Fiorre, on the island of Sirius.

The autumn leaves drift to the earth, paving a golden road.

In a hut on the island that looks like it has just been renovated, you can faintly hear intermittent sounds such as '...... will appear next' and 'the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts is officially ......'.

“…… Yes!! You're lazy again! ”

Staring angrily at her friend sitting in front of the magic crystal screen, Mebis puffed out her cheeks.

I said that I must clean my house today, and I won't be able to finish it until tomorrow!

"Sorry, just ...... in a minute"

Closing her palm, the brown-haired girl smiled embarrassedly.

"It's really ......"

Despite her nerve-wracking tone, Mebis chose to indulge her willfulness.

“……”

Looking at the girl who was busy next to him, someone sitting at the edge of the table leaned his head slightly.

"Na...... Mebis, you really don't want to go looking for goblins? ”

Now she has enough ability to fulfill Mebis's wishes.

“…… Well...... Not anymore. ”

After a pause, gently wiping the photo she was wiping, Maebius came to the brunette girl's side.

"Because ......"

“……？”

A soft touch came from his face.

"I've found it, goblin~"

……

On the edge of the black-and-white photo frame with some history embedded in it, a new multicolored photo is now on display.

The barefoot girl and the brown-haired girl sat happily under a tree holding hands and smiled with satisfaction.
