In "Fairytail", little is known about Noah before he joined the guild.

In the current "Fairy Tail", except for the old members who had already stored Zài before Noah joined "Fairy Tail", the rest of the members believe that Noah is Makarov's own grandson, and only those old members know that Noah was adopted by Makarov.

However, even those old members only knew that Noah was an orphan and met Makarov by chance, so they were adopted by Makarov, and they didn't know why Makarov adopted Noah.

After all, Fairytail has always taken in many orphans from various places, such as Elusa, Natsu, Gray, Mira, Lisanna, Elfman and others have joined the guild since they were young, but none of them have been adopted by Makarov.

So why did Makarov only adopt Noadam's grandson?

The reason, as a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Noah, Elusa naturally knows it.

Because Noah didn't pass.

According to Makarov, Noah appeared in this world as if out of thin air, that is, there was no trace of "where he ever lived, existed, or left behind, and there was no memory of him before he was ten years old."

In Noah's memory, one of the first episodes is when he met Makarov in the nameless woodland.

After meeting Noah. Because of Noah's "loss of memory", Makarov often inquired about Noah's background outside. Help Noah find relatives and hometowns that may be in Zài, but in the end, he comes to the conclusion that Noah appears as if he appeared out of thin air. There is no trace of any zài.

Under such circumstances, Makarov, who couldn't sit idly by and didn't even know who his biological parents were, or even whether he had biological parents, appeared in this world as if he had never existed, so he resolutely accepted Noah as his adopted grandson, hoping to bring him a little warmth of family affection.

To be honest, Elusa couldn't imagine what Noah's mood was like when she first joined Fairytail.

That is, there is no memory of the past, and I know that I have no place in this world that can save zài or even zài, that kind of emptiness, dazed and blank, just think about it a little. Elusa shuddered.

Once, Elusa had such thoughts.

It would be nice to be able to forget the past.

It's just, now that I think about it, is it really good to have no past?

As Noah said, even if the past is bad, painful or even hopeless, it is proof of one's own existence.

In contrast, there is not even a life in the past, and there is no evidence of zài. That's true horror.

Luckily, Noah met Makarov and joined the "fairytail", which gave him a place to prove that he had survived.

Otherwise. Elusa felt that Noah, who had nothing in the real sense at that time, would definitely be worse off than dead, as if he was in hell.

"I know you're probably going to be very angry about that. But at that time, I did envy you. Noah laughed bitterly.

And then. When I reacted, I had already unconsciously had the idea of approaching you. The rest of the matter is a matter of course. ”

“…… I'm sorry. Elusa said in a low tone.

"Reminds you of a bad past."

"Shall we be with each other?" Noah sighed slightly.

"Am I the same, reminding you of the bad past?"

"But I'm really grateful to you." Elusa's tone became sincere again.

"If it weren't for your share of the cake, maybe there would never be Elusa today? Shukaletto, you are the third person in my life to save me. ”

"The third?" Noah looked at Elusa in surprise.

"Have you been saved by so many people?"

"Yes, without you, I would have disappeared long ago." Elusa laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Because of Grandpa Rob's rescue, I survived from a group of demons, and because of your rescue, I have a new life, and..."

Maybe even Elusa herself didn't find out.

Elusa's hand was already clenched tightly, and even her face showed a hint of pain.

"And... Gerald..."

Elusa said this in a voice that was almost as indistinct as a dream.

However, Noah heard it clearly, and heard it clearly.

Therefore, when the name "Gerald" entered Noah's ears, Noah's heart suddenly tightened, and his hand subconsciously touched his pocket.

In that pocket, there was a piece of paper with the address of the Tower of Paradise on it.

At this moment, Noah finally confirmed his previous guess.

Sure enough, Elusa has an unusual connection with Gerald and the Tower of Paradise.

That is the corner of Elusa's heart that has never been touched by others, and even Noah has no way to know the secret.

From a young age, Noah knew that Elusa must have hidden an unusual secret in her heart.

Now, Noah has finally touched the tip of the iceberg of this secret.

"Don't think about bad memories anymore." As his heart began to become active, Noah looked at Elusa with a little pain on her face, and her words changed.

"Although that's also proof of your existence, if you don't look forward, you can't move forward, stop where you are, and even go backwards or something, that's not the Elusa I know."

"Really?" Elusa lowered her head, and in the next second, she raised it again, recovering her previous heroic spirit.

"That's right."

As she said this, Elusa suddenly rested her head on Noah's shoulder, and her armoured hand hugged one of Noah's arms tightly.

"Slightly, lend me a lean..."

Originally, she was still a little surprised, and Noah, who had always been strong, suddenly showed her weak behavior, slowly relaxed her expression and body, and raised her other hand, gently stroking Elusa's head, as if coaxing a child to sleep.

"I'll borrow it from you whenever you want, so please don't rely on me politely..."

"After all, we are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, and no one can replace our relatives..."

Hearing Noah's words, Elusa's slightly cold heart gradually became warmer, and a reassuring and comfortable expression appeared on her delicate face, and she closed her eyes, as if she was in a deep sleep, and she was speechless for a long time.

At sunset, a man and a woman leaned against each other on the banks of a clear creek until the sun went down.

Of course, Elusa didn't know.

At this moment, Noah secretly made a decision.

……

"Ahh

In the hall of the three Strauss siblings, Lisanna suddenly stood up in surprise and looked at Noah, her face full of anxiety.

"Brother Noah! You're leaving again?! ”

"Noah..."Mirana's expression of tenderness to Noah all along, also dimmed, and it seemed that she was also quite shocked like Lisanna.

Seeing this, Noah knew that Mira had misunderstood Lisanna.

"Don't worry, this time I'm not going to practice, it's just because there is something I want to go to." Noah hurriedly spoke.

"If there is no accident, I will be back in about ten days, and it will not be a month late, and it is very likely that I will be back in two or three days, and I will not be away for that long."

Hearing this, Mira and Lisanna's expressions turned cloudy and relieved.

"Are you going to work?" Lishana asked.

"Can I go with me?"

"No, I'll do it alone." Noah scratched his cheek.

"It's not going to work, it's just something to do, you don't have to worry."

Seeing that the sisters in front of them still seemed a little uneasy, Noah comforted him.

"Don't forget, even if you don't worry about me alone, I still have Beo by my side, nothing will happen."

"Do you need me to prepare something for you?" Mira said thoughtfully.

"You don't have any money on you, do you? What about the travel expenses? ”

"This—" Noah was speechless.

"Let me and Sister Mila help you prepare the necessities for your journey." Lisana smiled wickedly.

"I will also help Brother Noah prepare the travel expenses, don't worry."

Noah could only laugh dryly, speechless.

This time, I really have to sit on the suspicion of eating soft rice... (To be continued......) R1292
