Chapter 54: Seventy Years of Blankness

The third floor of the "Fairy Tail" guild, the president's lounge.

Excluding the hall on the first floor and the important task board on the second floor, the room on the third floor dedicated to the president has not been used for a long time.

For the third president, this little old man named Makarov, it was more 'homely' to watch the gang of imps play around on the first floor.

But today, due to the sudden visit of a special 'guest', he really had to brace himself and be cautious.

The premise is that what the other party says is true......

……

(…… What's going on...... This anomalous magic...... )

(It's even more ...... than the old man!) )

Sweating profusely on his back, after noticing the breath that the brown-haired girl on the opposite side inadvertently revealed due to the change in mood when she heard herself talk about some guild history, Makarov also changed from a relaxed state of telling stories to young people to a little restrained.

Judging from the fluctuation of this magic power alone, he has actually surpassed him as the 'Ten Saint Demon Guides' now, how can he not be shocked by the old man.

(This...... )

(Is she really ...... )

(No, no, no...... It's impossible...... )

There was incredulity between his eyebrows, and Makarov still looked more skeptical than believing.

It's no wonder that at the beginning, a girl who seemed to be her granddaughter suddenly came to the guild and told him that I was the first president here, so I was a child's joke, right?

Speaking of the first generation, but people of the same era as his father, even if they didn't die, they should be eighty or ninety years old, how could they be so 'young'.

But the girl's body is engraved with the guild logo of "Fairy Tail", and this matter also involves the reputation of the first generation, so it is not appropriate to talk on the first floor, so he brought someone to the third floor.

(Hmm...... I think it's the descendants of the first generation...... )

After sorting out his thoughts, Makarov could only give himself the most acceptable explanation.

In addition to being more 'mature' and healthy, the girl's appearance is indeed carved out of a mold with the historical impression of the commemorative photo on the wall.

It's just that......

Is that really the case?

Feeling the special temperament of the girl with a look of remembrance, Makarov fell into deep thought again.

……

“…… Originally...... Are they still alive......"

A faint wry smile on her face that seemed to be nostalgic, this was the most reassuring news that Zela had heard now.

According to the third generation Makarov, he took over the post of chairman when he was about forty years old, and it has been more than 20 years now.

His mother used to tell stories from the past, including stories about what happened after the first president disappeared.

At that time, his father Yuri was depressed for a while, but he quickly picked himself up with the help of his friends and devoted himself to his work according to the original guild charter they had made, and in the following decades, Precht and Volod did not part ways because of the 'dark arts' and became the pillars of the guild.

In the past 70 years, most of the members of the first generation have also died, and not many have fallen into adventures.

And Yuri's wife Rita died more than twenty years ago after the birth of her grandson Ivan, although this grandson now seems to be not very good.

Well, let's not mention those digressions for the time being, in the world of "Ace Langdon", it is common for magicians to live longer than ordinary people.

So although Yuri was sad, he quickly came out of the sorrow of life and death.

It is said that the three old grandfathers started their old business again after that, saying that they were traveling all over the world, but in fact, they didn't know which ruins they wandered into.

“…… Is it...... Those stupid people, since they're all old, don't worry about it......"

Hearing the girl's nose here whispering to herself with a sour nose, Zela didn't know if it was because of her intervention that would cause such a change, but at least, everyone in that era had a good end to their lives.

In this way, she will be able to relax and seek her own 'future'.

As long as you are alive, there will be a day when you will see you again.

After all, it's those guys......

“…… Thank you, third generation, for telling me so many things. ”

"Hmm...... The old man just said casually, you, you...... Forehead ......"

These histories are not secrets in the first place, for him, it is like an ordinary old man who chatters with the 'juniors' for a while.

Just looking at the girl's undisguised feelings and unprecedented magic, Makarov couldn't grasp the attitude of inaccurate treatment for a while.

“…… It's okay if you don't have to, I know you can't believe it right now. ”

“……”

Smiling slightly, it was not difficult for Zela to understand Makarov's tangled mood at this time.

She didn't have a complicated meaning when she came back here, she just wanted to have a knot in her heart.

Now that Yuri and the others have retired, it's time for her, the 'old fellow', to leave.

“…… It's almost time, and it's time for me to go. ”

"I'm just here to see the guild we've established."

“……!”

The wish was granted, and Zera, who had the intention of going, got up from her seat.

Obsidian-like points of magical light rose beside Zela.

“…… Mebis will be happy if he sees it......"

“…… The guild will leave it to you......"

“…… Third generation ......"

The ethereal sound echoed through the room, and the faded body turned into starlight, drifting out of the window with a breeze.

“……”

"She should ......"

"It's not the grudge of the first generation......

In the face of this ghostly 'exit' method, Makarov has a lot of kinship and a long face.

……

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

After leaving the guild, Zela didn't stay in the human realm for long.

After stepping on the Star Rainbow Trail and returning to the Virgo Star, she naturally returned directly to the Star Spirit Realm to prepare for her next plan.

Since more than half a year ago, the star crystal inlaid with golden balls of light has become a unique scenery here.

And the girl who sleeps in it, who looks like a fairy, is also the best friend of this 'extraterrestrial spirit'.

……

"Welcome back, master."

After cleaning the neighborhood every day, the cherry blossom-haired girl nodded lightly when she saw her contractor appear.

These days, this zodiac star spirit is almost becoming Zela's exclusive maid.

"Hmm...... Thank you, Ballo. ”

Smiling slightly at his own star spirit, wearing a mysterious black and white spirit suit, Zela, who had grown to the age of seventeen or eighteen, walked in front of the crystal of Mebis.

When she woke up and found changes in her body, she was also shocked.

The 'foot injury' is just a 'surprise', and the key thing is that she doesn't seem to be human anymore......

After the unanimous approval of the Star Spirit King, the Southern Cross Star Spirit, and other old-timer Star Spirits, they all confirmed that the girl who was born in the "Star Spring" completely fused with the breath of the Star Spirit and became one of them.

Having one more companion naturally makes these star spirits happy, but with it, there is also a big problem.

That is, the eighty-eight star slots in the Star Spirit Realm are all full.

Now Zela's identity is very embarrassing.

But anyway, it's a new companion born in the "Star Spring", so it's impossible to leave her hanging on the side.

So after some discussion, everyone took a compromise approach to her special case.

With the permission of the "Star Spirit King", Zela was given the identity of "Star Spirit King Agent" and became the guardian of the Gate of the Two Realms.

In the "Human Realm", she is in the form of a "human", and when she returns to the "Star Spirit Realm", she will return to the state of "Star Spirit".

said that it was the state of the "star spirit", but in fact, it was the appearance of the "demon king" after she hid her dark wings.

And because she became a star spirit, she couldn't stay in the human world for a long time, and she had to go back to the star spirit world every once in a while.

But in any case, this is already the best ending after lifting the curse and controlling the dark energy.

Then there is only one thing to do.

(…… Before waking up...... I hope you have a good dream...... )

(Mebis...... )

How to collect the three 'keys' to wake up the princess, she already has a clue.

……
