"Calm down, Yuri."

Pressing the blonde youth's right shoulder, Precht gave him a look to see what was going on.

(That giant wolf, is it a phantom...... ）

Looking at the blonde girl who was talking to the girl in the wheelchair with an embarrassed face, he already understood what was going on.

After all, in this world, there is "magic".

Even though they don't know magic, they've had a lot of dealings with magicians over the years, and they still have some eyesight.

“…… Precht, that's an illusion, isn't it? ”

Compared to Yuri, whose mind has not yet turned, Volod is obviously more mature.

"Ah, that's right, but ......"

Nodding slightly, Precht looked at the two and a half girls with a solemn expression.

(Is it really true that teenage girls can use such realistic and complex magic...... ）

For them, it was the first time they had encountered magic like magic bullets, flames, ice balls, and illusion magic of the level of Mebis.

And Precht's intuition is also telling him that these two mysterious girls must be related to the rumored "demons" in the outside world.

(For the time being, let's wait and see...... ）

……

"You're still so fond of using this type of magic, Mebius, there's a better way to catch him."

You must know that the past seven years have not been in vain, not to mention Zela, even Mebis will now, and it is not just a "phantom".

It's just that instead of studying the magic of the "light" system, the Feathered Ear Girl is still more keen to use this "phantom" magic that seems to be her talent and can 'create' everything.

“…… Hehe, it's the first time in a long time that an outsider has come to this small island, and he ...... accidentally."

Sticking out her tongue, Mebis also knew that her prank had gone a little too far.

Judging from what they did just now, these people don't look like some vicious bad guys.

"I'm not blaming you, it's not good for them to come to our island without permission anyway."

Speaking of which, Zela and the others hadn't seen anyone else in over seven years, and there was nothing wrong with Mebis's handling of it.

It's always right to be careful.

"Then again, have you forgotten what you didn't do today?"

“…… Yes! That's right! Today is the day of the move! ”

Covering his mouth with his hand, Mebis remembered what he had forgotten when he heard the reminder.

"Alas, I really forgot...... Never mind. ”

(Probably not necessary anyway.) ）

Shaking his head helplessly, now that this is unfolding, moving is already secondary.

A trio is still waiting.

"Now that everyone is here, it's time to talk to our 'guests'."

Adjusting the direction of the wheelchair, Zela winked at Mebis.

"Hmm!"

The dull hair on the top of her head swayed slightly, and the big turquoise eyes of the feather-eared girl revealed obvious curiosity.

It's been seven years......

……

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

"That's it! Little girls, we are treasure hunters who have been commissioned by others to come to this island to investigate the "demon"! ”

Triumphantly clasped his hands, and after a brief inquiry, Yuri felt that his deeds were exposed anyway, so he simply said his purpose generously.

I didn't see Precht covering his head speechlessly with a face behind him that didn't have time to stop him, and Volod who showed his usual wry smile.

（…… Obviously he hasn't even completed the task yet, why does this guy look amazing? ）

Looking at Yuri with subtle eyes, Zela knew the purpose of this group of people, and at the same time, she also labeled the guy in front of her as 'a few ribs' in her heart.

(But, is it a demon...... ）

Presumably the rumors that had been circulated by the previous group of people, Zela was not much surprised.

It's just that she doesn't mind, and it doesn't mean that another insider doesn't mind.

"Mr. Yuri, you're lying again."

“——！”

"You just said that you are treasure hunters, but you also said that you accepted someone else's commission to investigate the 'demon'."

"Could it be that the current treasure hunters still hunt demons part-time?"

Easily finding the contradiction in Yuri's words, Mebis sharply questioned back.

(Tsk, this little girl has such a good head...... ）

Raising an eyebrow, the blonde youth became embarrassed again.

(I can't say anything, it's just that I bragged about coming to the devil because I lost the bet, and I can't say it at all!) ）

Because the reason is so simple, so simple that it is even a little stupid, Yuri is embarrassed to say it.

"Ahh——!!hh That's fine! ”

"That's right! We're the hunters who have come to defeat the demon and take its treasure by the way! ”

Looking at the feather-eared girl who was 'pressing on him step by step', Yuri couldn't think of words for a while, and actually played a scoundrel like a child.

"Right?! Precht! Volod! ”

After breaking the jar and putting down the arrogance, he also wanted to drag his companion with him.

"Hmph."

"This, hehe."

Unfortunately, his companions didn't seem to be cooperative.

"Hey!"

A disgruntled shout rang out, and Yuri waved his left hand in annoyance.

"Tsk...... So little girl, tell me the news of the devil! ”

Turning back to face Mebis and the others, this guy seemed to be planning to stick to this premise alone.

“…… There are no demons on this island. ”

“——？！”

Putting away his smile, Mebis replied with great seriousness.

(Mebis...... ）

"How is that possible, we're-"

"No, yes, evil, demon!"

"Huh? I said, little girl......"

It seems that he is on a par with Mebis, and Yuri is about to get back to the field just now, and teach a good boy not to deceive, when suddenly someone pulls him back.

"Wait a minute! Yuri! ”

"What are you doing, Precht! I've got to teach that little ghost society well! ”

"Stupid! Don't you have a sense of danger at all! ”

Lowering his voice, he felt the whisper of Precht's hatred, which was almost about to turn into real malice.

Today can be said to be the day with the richest expression of this cold man who is moody.

Couldn't he see that the smile on the face of the blonde girl was getting more and more 'dangerous'?

"If you have any opinions, you can tell me, but before then, I hope you can remember a little."

The fluttering words rang out, and Zela gave a well-timed 'kind' reminder.

"Unlike Mebis, I'm not that gentle."

“——！！！”

Except for Yuri, who still can't figure out the situation, Precht and Volod, who have had the 'experience', can understand what it means.

(Sure enough, isn't that probably a delusion...... ）

So for the sake of safety, they have adopted the most suitable way of action for treasure hunters.

"I see, since there are no demons here, we'll reply to the client like this."

Carrying Yuri's back collar, the two of them pressed him quietly retreated towards the original road.

Hoping that everything would go well, and when they were about to retreat to the edge of the forest, the voices that they didn't want to hear came over.

"Speaking of which, you're here by boat, aren't you?"

“…… Yes. ”

"yes, uh-huh......"

Tapping the armrest, the girl in the wheelchair seemed to be thinking about something.

"So be it."

With the same surprised expression of the Feather-Eared Maiden, Zela conveyed her decision.

"That ship, we requisitioned!"

“……？！！！”

Although this request came a little inexplicably, Yuri did not refuse.

Because in the next second, countless dark purple fireballs had completely surrounded the three of them.

Sure enough, as she said, this exaggerated way of 'requesting' is really not gentle at all.

……

This day was the first time that the two original "goblins" and Yuri were not very friendly.

Guided by a misplaced fate, they embark on a journey together, not knowing what the future holds, even if it's Zela.

At this time, there are still 92 days before the birth of "Fairy Tail".
