"That...... Sister Mira, what is this? ”

In the Fairy Tail Guild, Lucy, who had only been in the ranks of official magicians for a short time, looked puzzled when she raised her hand and looked at the strange sign in front of the bar with a magic map. Ｘ

"Hehe, hasn't Lucy seen it yet? This is the latest map of the Dark Guilds. ”

Smiling as she introduced the pattern behind her, the white-haired Kanban girl continued to explain.

"You should have heard the rumors recently, there is a dark guild that attacked the Ten Holy Demon Guides, and also led to the dissolution of a large guild."

“……！”

Her face was slightly solemn, although Lucy had been accompanying Natsu and them to 'mess around' these days, she still knew about the big news that was spreading.

"And because of this, those dark minions have also become active."

"Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, it is very important to strengthen communication with other alliance guilds, and Lucy should also pay attention to safety when she goes on a mission."

Wen Sheng reminded Lucy that Mira still liked this kind and cheerful newcomer.

“…… But Mira, there's no need to be too nervous, right? ”

Sitting on the edge of the table with a pipe in his mouth, the uncle with a strange hairstyle said disapprerovingly.

"Except for the gate of Hades, there is no one in the current dark guild who can get on the table, right?"

You must know that the young people of their guild only solved a dark guild called Iron Forest with three or four people not long ago.

It is really a golden age of 'light'.

“…… But in the guild briefing two days ago, didn't it say that another guild as dangerous as Hades had appeared? ”

The young man who stood naked and stripped naked at some point talked about the news he had reported to all the guilds a few days ago.

"Gray, clothes."

"Ahh When?! ”

After holding the barrel of the customary reminder, the bold girl who wiped her mouth, Kana Arupelona mentioned the name of the new dark guild.

"Indeed...... It's called the Witch's Poem, right? It seems that they were the ones who attacked the Holy Ten. ”

“！”

The number of people is a mystery, the members are a mystery, and they still have the combat power to attack the Holy Ten, so doesn't that mean that there is another giant in the darkness.

Hearing Kana's words, everyone in the guild began to talk about this mysterious guild again.

It's just that at this time, Lucy noticed that there was a person with a strange face.

"What's wrong? Elusa ......"

After these days of getting along, she felt that this big sister with crimson hair was much more reliable than Nazgray, except for being a little rigid and nosy.

“……”

"No...... I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Lucy. ”

Elusa, who relaxed her clenched fists and shook her head, sighed.

(Elusa...... ）

glanced at it worriedly, and Lucy, who knew that the other party didn't want to say much, didn't ask any more questions.

"There's nothing to be afraid of!"

Breathing fire and jumping on the table, the hot-blooded boy with cherry hair is still the same.

"I'm going to beat them all up! Right! Lucy! ”

"Ouch!"

(Why ask me?!) ）

Glaring in embarrassment, Lucy felt that she had no say at all.

(sighs...... ）

(Dark Guild...... ）

Seeing Natsu arguing with the sneering Gray again, and then being taught a lesson by Elusa, Lucy felt that it was probably too early for them to worry about this.

With a kind smile, she put this behind her for the time being, and chatted with Lebby beside her again.

And just when the atmosphere of discussion calmed down a little, Makarov, dressed in formal clothes, also returned to the guild after the regular meeting.

Brought back together, there was also a news that everyone unexpectedly signed.

……

“…… Hmm...... About the guild you guys just talked about. ”

After asking Mira to gather all the people present, Makarov, with a somewhat heavy expression, said the order he had just received.

"The Council has decided that it is up to us to crusade against the Witch's Poetry."

“！！！！”

"But if it's just our guild, it may become a thorn in the side of all dark guilds in the future."

"So this time, an alliance of the Bright Guild will be formed."

Throwing away the heavy news one after another, everyone was really difficult to digest all of a sudden.

Of course, there are certain exceptions.

"Great! I'm burning! ”

"It's not good!!"

A knife struck Natsu on the head of the inexplicably excited, and Lucy almost wanted to cry without tears.

Just now, I thought that this kind of thing was far away from them, why did it run to them all of a sudden?

"Bright Alliance...... Old man, is that witch guild really that strong? ”

Having heard not many rumors, Gray still didn't quite believe how powerful a nameless guild could be.

"Hmm...... I don't know the details, but you must know that Joseph they can defeat is a strong man whom I dare not say will win. ”

“？！”

（…… It's normal that you haven't heard of it, but there are also many scandals involving the Council and the Guild, so most of the events have been covered up...... ）

Smoking a pipe was obviously a big deal, but Makarov showed little nervousness.

It's just that at this time, everyone was immersed in the matter of forming a coalition to crusade against the Dark Guild, and no one noticed.

"Also, there's one more thing."

After thinking about it for a while, Makarov, who seemed to have made a decision, said again.

"Although this year is a bit early, after that, I will select the alternate members of the S-rank, and use this mission as an upgrade exam for the S-rank."

“……………………”

"Haa??!!!a

Smiling like an old urchin, and not caring about the guild that had become completely chaotic, Makarov also put his mind on the secret letter he had received not long ago.

(I'll leave this group of imps to you...... ）

(First generation...... ）

……

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

“…… President, do you really need me to do anything? ”

"Hmm. That's it, Gerald. ”

At the headquarters of the Witch's Poetry in the Sea of Vastree Trees, listening to the information sent back by the blue-haired youth, Zela, who had returned from the Star Spirit Realm, responded softly.

This result was actually what she expected.

"And I don't think they will say yes even if you want to do something."

With a wry smile, he glanced at the group of 'gearing up' and 'joining in the fun' behind him, most of the members here were inextricably linked to many people in the Bright Guild.

To be honest, they don't care about the Council's determination at all, with the support of the Hatfilia Foundation, there will be no problems with the operation of the guild, whether it is the Dark Guild or the Light Guild, no one who stays here will care about that false name.

（…… That's fine. ）

Before they knew it, they had cleared too many roadblocks, and Zela knew that the fairy tail was too comfortable now.

(The first guild, the strongest guild, if the younger generation has been shrouded in such an aura, there is no way to know that there are people outside the world, and there is a reason outside the sky...... ）

Flowers in a greenhouse can't thrive, especially in this world of swords and sorcery.

（…… Moreover, Gerald's evidence has almost been gathered, and the completely rotten council in the kingdom should almost be settled. ）

It's just that this arrangement, will it really be so smooth......

Feeling the stinging sensation coming from the back of her hand branded with the Moon Witch crest, Zela tilted her head slightly.

This feeling,
