The midday hours are always accompanied by heat and laziness, but this is not seen at all in the royal capital of the Kingdom of Fiorli, 'Huadu Kulokas'. The bustling streets are crowded with people, and the streets are lined with all kinds of units selling all kinds of items, and the flow of people is simply amazing.

The goblins who once folded their wings had a goal in mind, and they were looking forward to the next few days, rushing into the venue of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts and dancing gorgeously in the blooming city!

The annual festival "Great Demon Fight" held six years ago is held exclusively for magicians, and it is in this flower town full of magicians and tourists. In the middle of this town stands the castle of the king of the Kingdom of Fiorre, 'Castle of the Lanterns Merukrias'. Outside the town, on the hill to the west, is the venue of the Great Demon Fighting Exercise, the 'Dome Brau'.

At this time, in the streets of the town, in a small square formed by the convergence of several streets, Fairy Tail's 'Great Demon Fighting Squad' gathered here.

Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, including Harpy and Charlulu, had collapsed to the ground at this time, and Natsu was lying on the ground, their eyes hollow as if they had no soul, like a wax figure motionless.

"Hey... Feed... The state of the body is not good again... Is there really nothing wrong with that magic array? Gray sat down on the ground, his hands on the ground, his head bowed, and said with a pained expression, as if he was talking to himself, but he was asking his companion beside him.

"I don't know!" Wendy didn't change her empty look, and answered with her mouth open.

Lucy, who was also sitting on the ground, heard Gray's words, her empty expression faded, and she replied with a straight face: "But I can feel that the mana has been on an upward trend, weakening as the pain weakens." ”

"Really, you look so ugly right now." Only Elusa didn't look in pain at all, as if she was fine, she stood aside, holding the cart with a lot of luggage, and said indifferently to the four people who collapsed to the ground.

Natsu, who was lying on the ground, looked at the proud and quiet Elusa, supported the ground with his hands, straightened his upper body and said to her, "Why... Elusa... You don't have anything to do..."

"It must be that she already has a relationship with the second source of magic!" Gray looked at Elusa in the same way, muttering in reply.

"Uh-huh!! Yes definitely! ”

The four of them nodded in unison, agreeing.

"You're finally here!"

Suddenly, a voice came from far and near, and the five people turned their heads to look in the direction from which the voice came.

Makarov was walking towards them, smiling and greeting them as he went, with Aska, the daughter of 'Beska' and 'Arzak', sitting on his shoulders, and the other members of the guild smiling and greeting them.

"Chief! President! Grandpa! ”

The five of them each shouted out their names to Makarov.

"The formalities for the entry have been completed! Gaha! Let the world have a good look at the strength of Fairy Tail! Makarov, who had already walked up to the five, stood proudly in front of them with his hands on his chest, and said so.

"Oh!!"

The five of them jumped up with cheers, sweeping away the previous depression, they were worried that their registration would not be able to catch up, but now they got the information that they could participate, and they were all full of energy.

"Goal three thousand... Ahem... The goal is directly aimed at the First Guild of Fiore, and we must do our best! Makarov stretched out a finger to the sky and said confidently, thinking to himself, 'If this continues, I really don't have the face to see the first generation who saved the old man's life!!

As Makarov's words fell, not only the five Natsu who participated in the competition were full of fighting spirit, but even the rest of the members who came to cheer them on with confidence stretched out a finger together and lifted it towards the sky.

"Oh!? It's the tail of a fairy. ”

"It's them!"

"The guild that is so weak that it can't be weaker anymore!"

"Poof..."

Some passers-by saw the fairy tails gathered in the small square, and said to each other mockingly.

Just as Natsu wanted to step forward to teach these mockers a lesson, she was stopped by Elusa, who shook her head at him slightly, telling him with her eyes not to cause more trouble, and to bear with it.

"Let the guys who laugh at us laugh first! We want to keep their mouths shut in the Great Demon Fighting Exercise! Makarov frowned, obviously suppressing the anger in his heart, and said forcibly.

Natsu was still very compliant with Makarov's words, suppressing the anger in his heart, hanging the corners of his eyes, clenching his teeth, and shaking his fist slightly due to the excessive force.

“… Then you're welcome..."And Harpy on the side also responded to Makarov's words very seriously. But before he could finish speaking, he turned his body to the other side, and looked at 'Sarusuk' and 'Dolaire', who were also members of the same lane engine team as Lebby, two of them, one fat and one thin, who were like talking cross talk, covering their mouths with their paws, their eyes wide open, looking at the two of them, the expression seemed to be trying to suppress the urge to laugh, but it was very obvious that they were laughing, making a "poof" sound.

"Don't look at us and laugh!!" The two of them shouted in unison with surprised expressions.

After the hustle and bustle, Natsu and Lucy ran into the distance together, and said happily as they ran: "It's rare to come to such a bustling street, let's go on an adventure!" ”

"Hmm!" "Love!"

Lucy and Harpy, who was flying alongside, expressed their joy with their own responses.

The rest of the group dispersed, except for Elusa, who led Gray and Wendy to their designated lodging, a shop with a skull-headed bee sign, the Honey Bone Inn. Bone’。

……

At this time, at the other end of Huadu Kulokas, the Honey Bone Hotel 'Honey· Bone's in the opposite direction of another inn.

"As Team B, we must surprise Team A and let them know clearly who is the strongest team of Fairy Tail!" Ming Feng stood by the window, clasped his hands to his chest, leaned his back against the wall, and said in a very confident tone.

Gajiru sat sideways in his chair, put one hand on the back of the chair, and said with a grim smile: "That's for sure, we are the strongest team!" ”

Lacusas, Miraj, Gajiru, and Jubien, all four of them also showed confident and proud smiles.
