Chapter 39: Fairy Tail is Born!
- "Magunolia", located in the library that has been rebuilt in the right block.
There were already mountains of materials piled up on both sides of the place, and a certain brown-haired girl was sitting at the rest table in the hall that people usually read, studying something with a dignified expression.
More than a month passed in a flash, and after the Council branch submitted an application to establish a guild, the Zela and the others set off for the city, and asked a loud blacksmith to convey the news of their imminent guild to the townspeople.
Although some of the residents were uneasy due to the Dark Guild's precedent, Mebis and her friends lobbied hard, and everyone gradually accepted the situation, and began to look forward to what kind of vitality these young people would inject into the city.
The address of the guild, as the president, Zela chose the lake where she and Mebis found together at the time of the celebration party, where she and Mebis could see the beautiful night view.
I have to say that that area is very suitable for everyone in terms of direction and area.
After choosing a place, Yuri, as boys, was naturally obligated to take over the construction work.
At first, the young people who had not done these artisan jobs were indeed in a hurry and made a lot of jokes, but after a while, the idle residents of the town would come to help when they had time, so that the progress of this delay finally made a qualitative leap.
(…… Listening to Mebis, it should have been in the past few days. )
Closing the book in her hand, Zela put her fingers to her temples to soothe her tired nerves from long reading, and then looked softly out the window in a certain direction.
She didn't know much about guild building, so she didn't interfere indiscriminately, and when she went to see it last night, it seemed that she had already entered the finishing touches, so she finally had time to relax and get busy with her own things.
It's just that in this regard, compared to that side, it is far from being so smooth.
(…… There are no legends about "gods" that have been passed down from ancient times to the present day, but I didn't expect them to be used as a reference...... )
I thought that the libraries in the mainland cities might be more detailed in their records of the past, but as a result, Zela searched through almost all the materials, and sorted out things that were similar to the library on the "Sirius Island", and some parts were not even as complete as the island.
Gods, Dragons, Star Spirits...... The only thing we know is that in the distant past, there were many races that were different from humans.
Mebis might be pleased, because in that case, there is a real possibility that the elves will exist.
It's just that there is no substantial progress on the information about the curse and the problems with the bodies of the two, which makes the brown-haired girl still look a little depressed.
(Is that all for today...... )
Driven to the door of the library in a wheelchair, Zela stretched hard and patted her cheek as much as she could.
Going back with such a face, a certain little guy is afraid that he will have to think about it again.
When she was thinking about whether to ask Ba Luge to come out and push herself back, her familiar shouts were already heard from the corner of the block in the distance.
"Ahh Got it! Zela ——!! Look!! ”
“……?”
Excitedly calling her friend's name, Mebis ran over with the parchment in her hand.
Holding her chest and catching her breath, the Feather-Eared Maiden happily unfolded the paper in front of Zela.
"Our guild application, the documents that have passed the council's review have been sent!"
"'Fairy Tail'! It was really born! ”
“——!”
(…… )
(Is it finally here...... )
With five points of surprise, three points of emotion, and two points of natural complicated feelings, Zela changed her tone deeply, and her voice went from light to heavy.
“…… Then hurry up and bring this good news back, bring it back...... Our Guild! ”
"Hmm!"
……
************************************************************************************************************************
“…… Oh! It's coming, it's coming! ”
The blonde youth, who was the first to spot the two girls, wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked sideways in front of some brand-new building.
"Really? The old men have been waiting for a long time. ”
"Are you back, Zela, Mebis."
Volod and Precht, who were sitting on a nearby stone resting, also quickly noticed them and greeted their return with a loud voice.
Nodding in response to them, Mebis, who had adjusted his mood along the way, pushed his friend to the door of the brand new building again.
Although she had seen it once before going to see Zela, it was still difficult to calm down at this time.
“…… What do you think! This is our guild! ”
Laughing proudly, Yuri was looking forward to Zela's expression at the moment.
The buildings with a strong sense of the times stand there, with staggered high platforms rising up one after another, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the flag that sways in the wind, symbolizing the fairy tail.
(Fairy Tail...... )
All of this is both 'familiar' and 'unfamiliar' to Zela.
The familiar is the coat of arms that will never fade in memory, and the unfamiliar is moving towards an unknown future.
“……”
“…… Just this time, I'll give you a compliment. ”
"Hey! Hard-mouthed guy. ”
With a light snort, Yuri didn't continue to talk about it, but raised his head and stared ahead.
On such an important day, he has a lot of adults, so he doesn't care about it!
"Everyone! Let's take a commemorative photo! ”
Beckoning to all his companions, Mebis, holding an old camera, was ready to fix the frame under a tree.
The picture is frozen in the noisy laughter, Zela who is hugged in the middle as the president, Mebis who is smiling and holding his hands high, Volod and Precht are also standing on both sides with their hands crossed, and a certain Star Spirit maid has also not been forgotten to have contributed to the construction process, and at some point was summoned by Zela, who squeezed Yuri to the side very eye-catching, causing a burst of laughter.
Well, although everyone took a few more photos after that, it was still this one that Zela liked the most......
……
At the end of April of X686, the Wizard Guild "Fairy Tail" was officially established.
Although there are only five members now, they all believe that many members will gather here in the future to start an adventure together.
Everything that has been done so far is the past when this guild that has begun to be different from the 'future'.
And that's not all, because the story that belongs to 'them' has only just begun......
……
************************************************************************************************************************
(…… I really miss it, at that time. )
Looking at the photo frame in his hand and the yellowed photo inside, the brown-haired girl who returned to the "Sirius Island" sighed slightly after sending the young dragon son to the guild.
Whether it was a few years ago or a few decades ago, to be honest, even she herself didn't know.
The only thing that is certain is the fact that every time she comes back from 'there', the city is a different person.
“…… Thank you, Erin, for your hard time guarding this place while I'm away. ”
After putting the frame back on the shelf, the brown-haired girl didn't look back, but seemed to say words of thanks to the air.
Because she knew that after sensing her arrival, this woman who didn't know whether she should be her friend or a subordinate would definitely come.
"Are you back...... Lord Zela. ”
In a solemn response with a lowered posture, there was a scar on the left side of her abdomen, and a crimson-haired woman with four twisted braids appeared here as expected.
"Well...... the Divine Comedy part is done, and there's no point in me staying there. ”
"By the way, Erin, is someone looking for me these days?"
If she expected it to be true, the appearance of the Son of the Dragon meant that the plan that had spanned four hundred years had begun.
"Yes."
Nodding, the woman known as Erin confirmed.
(Hmm...... Didn't catch up...... )
July 7, X777, that day can be said to be the day when it all began.
(Without two copies of the magic of the Star Spirit Wizard, 'she' can still open that 'door', which is enough to fight...... )
After all, the key to the Virgin Palace has always been in the hands of the brown-haired girl.
(Okay, just try it with her, and if it succeeds, it will prove my "cradle" plan...... )
"Uh, are you leaving again so soon?"
"Huh? Ah, I'm not going to 'there' for a while, but I have something to meet someone. ”
Realizing that her actions had misled Erin, the brown-haired girl waved her hand.
A woman's name came from the back of the departing.
"A sorceral wizard named Layla Hatfilia."
“……?”
……
After leaving the hut full of memories, the brunette girl who was about to leave came here again.
After taking the magic props placed on the edge of the nameless tomb, the girl gently brushed off the dust on the stele.
The scattered dust and yellow fallen leaves also make the memories of the past linger again.
(…… Now that I think about it, everything started to get 'weird', probably from that war...... )
……
