X76x, Fairy Tail Sanctuary, Sirius Island. Ｘ

Since the whereabouts of its president, Zeraaeluff, and the assistant, Mebis Viviamilio, the two of them, have been 'missing', and the continent of Ishgar has gone through more than seventy years of historical ups and downs.

Due to the huge difference in the perception of time between the astral realm and the human realm, it may have been a few months for Zela, but it was a very, very long time for those who had been 'waiting' them.

……

"This ...... It's ......"

Standing in front of the two weather-beaten tombstones in a daze, Zela's mood was too heavy to describe in a complicated way.

Although she had already guessed that the time of coming back would be unexpectedly different after learning how long she had been 'unconscious', it was only when it really turned into reality that she realized how cruel the baptism of time really was.

One day in the astral realm is equal to three months in the human realm.

And she spent more than six months in that world to remove the curse and more than three months to recover her body.

Isn't that almost nine months......

(sighs...... ）

Not wanting to think about this heavy question any longer, the girl gently stroked the tombstone.

Some of the handwriting on it has been blurred by the passage of time, but judging by the dead leaves and weeds piled up around it, it is still often cleaned here.

Needless to say, it must have been the guild's partners at the time who thought they had 'had an accident' and helped set it up.

(Yuri...... Precht ...... Volod ...... ）

（…… Everybody...... ）

Recalling the bits and pieces when I was still in the guild, the noisy sound is still vaguely in my ears.

But nearly 70 years have passed, which is too far away.

Far enough away as a person...... It's enough to go through a lifetime......

（…… ）

(Anyway...... Let's go back and have a look...... ）

Looking at all this and leaving a sigh, there is another 'home' for me after all, there are some things, not to say that you can put it down.

The flamming index finger pointed at the tombstone, erasing the names of the two men one by one.

Since they are all still 'alive', these are naturally not needed.

But Zela didn't destroy the two tombstones, she just erased all the words on them.

The figure gradually disappeared into the wind, leaving only two nameless monuments standing side by side......

What commemorates is the vicissitudes of life for more than 70 years.

……

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

The kingdom of Fiorre, the magical merchant city of Magunolia.

Compared to a few decades ago, the city is undoubtedly more lively.

It's just that all the shops and street layouts here have long since become completely different from what Zela remembers.

After some inquiry, she already knew the specific year.

The year x763 is the present time.

The new building symbolizes the rapid change, and the exterior of the cathedral in the center of the town is also painted as if it were new.

Perhaps the only thing that hasn't changed, only the one I just inquired about from the owner of the fruit stall, has become the premier guild in the kingdom.

……

(Sure enough...... It's still here...... ）

(Unexpected...... Seventy-three years have passed...... ）

After following the memorable path, a brown-haired girl stood in front of the familiar door again after a long absence.

Although the exterior is dyed with the colors of this era, the iconic coat of arms is still imprinted on the flag on the roof.

Of course, what she 'misses' even more is the characteristics that only belong to this guild......

“…… Oh oh!! Here we go, here we go! ”

The shouts that can be heard outside the door seem to be the same even after decades.

After pushing open the door with such emotion, what caught my eye was the scene where two people were facing each other.

In the center of the crowd, carrying the collar of a black-haired man with a flirtatious expression, green tendons could be faintly seen on the sideburns of the brown-haired youth.

“…… Ivan! You bastard again?! ”

An angry roar caught up in Zela's ears, and it didn't seem like the 'friendly exchange' between her companions as she had thought?

Because all the attention was drawn to the quarrel between the two people, few people saw a petite figure pushing open the door on the side of the guild for a while.

“…… It doesn't matter if you want me to say it a few times, Kildas. ”

"It's not a question of whether or not to abandon my companions, but that I did fulfill the commission."

Patting away the other party's hand that grabbed him, the black-haired man proudly waved the power of attorney in his hand.

"You!"

"Enough! Ivan! Kildas! ”

Looking at that smiling face, the brown-haired young man Kirdas almost couldn't hold back a punch, but fortunately, the short figure sitting in the stands finally spoke.

It's just that this thin old man also has a sad look on his face.

The two people who are about to stage a full martial arts show are one is the outstanding young man he is most optimistic about in recent years in the guild, and the other is the only son left by his deceased wife.

The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, which makes him very embarrassed.

This time, though, Kildas was right, so as the guild leader, he had to give an explanation to the other members of the guild.

“…… Ivan, apologize to your teammates, and then forbid you to take the commission on the second floor without my approval. ”

“！”

Sinking his eyes to look at the black-haired man whose face had become ugly, he obviously had a better choice but used his companions to complete the task, such an act was definitely not in line with the spirit of their guild.

Even if he is his own son.

"President ......"

Hearing this 'verdict', the members of the guild were greatly relieved, especially the brown-haired young man named Kildas, whose expression softened.

However, whether or not someone named will do so is another matter.

“…… Cut. ”

He snorted coldly, and the black-haired man had no intention of being obedient at all.

After glaring at the people in front of him after seeing that the result had been decided, his body suddenly turned into a small white human-shaped piece of paper.

It's the Shikigami magic he's good at.

"Ivan!"

“……”

"Alas......"

It was found that the black-haired man had 'run away' like this, and the old man seemed to be a few years older in an instant.

There was no way, so he had no choice but to come to the two members who were killed, and bowed his head and apologized on behalf of his 'immature' son.

Of course, although the two of them were wrapped in bandages, they also hurriedly said that it didn't matter, and waved their hands to the old man not to do this.

Although this unhappy dissolution made the atmosphere of the guild a little dull, it was soon gradually returned to the same state as usual, driven by some active people.

"Yo! Let you see the joke! ”

Coming to Zela's side with his hands behind his back, the old man who had comforted everyone greeted everyone with a kind smile.

In fact, he was destined to have a guest come in, but just like that, it was not suitable for entertaining others.

I just don't know what this little girl is here for, well, if only she came to join the guild, they haven't had a young girl join in a long time......

With some disrespectful thoughts for the old man, the old man smiled and waited for the girl in front of him to explain his intentions.

“…… What's wrong? Little girl. ”

After waiting for a while, the brown-haired girl in front of me just stood at the door and looked around, looking at everyone's expressions, sometimes nostalgic, sometimes emotional.

This strange behavior made the old man feel strange.

Later, when he came back to his senses, the old man who had been the president of this guild for decades suddenly failed to understand the meaning.

“……”

“…… You're a better president than I am. ”

"Third generation."

“……！！！”

On the back of the girl's left hand is the third president of the tail of this fairy,
