The old voice, the old face, the long wavy white hair and the thick beard all showed that the person who came was not young.

The head of the Twelve Shields, the 'Magic King' of the Empire, the Scourge of August......

The old man was none other than the children of Olgas, Mebis and Jelf.

Ocast's age is definitely not young, in fact, he is a year younger than Makarov, but the whole person looks much more energetic than Makarov.

Makarov had been running the guild since 50 years ago, and now his hairstyle was all about the few clumps of gray hair left on either side, and the whole person was shrunk to the size of a child; And Ocaste helped manage the empire 80 years ago, and now his hair is still lush and his body is still straight.

This is probably the relationship between the two with a huge disparity in magic.

Of course, it is also possible that 'Fairy Tail', a guild of more than a hundred people, is more difficult to manage than an empire of hundreds of millions of people like Albarez.

After all, Makarov had to do everything himself, dealing with the Senate at the top and teaching the lawless bastards at the bottom; And Ogaste has a lot of people to call on.

It's really hard to say which of the two is harder.

But at least for now, Ogaste definitely doesn't feel hard.

While Makarov and Imperial Chancellor Yakir were playing cards and wits and courage, Ogaste was enjoying the most comfortable time of his life with his mother.

Chatting and playing, exchanging magic, tasting the fruits of this year's autumn harvest at the estate, cooking the various flavors of Yin Shugar and Arakitasia and tasting them with each other, playing chess, playing cards, fishing, walking, ......

It's like going through all the activities that I haven't experienced for decades.

Whether it is Mebis, who is a mother and looks like a child, or Ojiaste, who is a son who looks like an old man, they have felt unprecedented family affection in the past half a month.

Mebis is an orphan, and although 'Fairy Tail' claims to be 'fellow guild mates are family', they are not connected by blood after all; although Ogarst is by Jerf's side, Jelf doesn't know the existence of his son, and the way he treats him is only with the emperor and chess pieces, without much emotion, not to mention that he has only returned to the empire once in a long time, and the two have not met very much.

For this reason, it was the first time that they had truly felt the presence of their loved ones, and that they had made their loved ones feel their presence.

Mebis enjoys enjoying the morning sun in the trees, and Ogast also enjoys the activity of preparing breakfast for her.

He took off his magic robe, put down his magic wand, and wore only a simple cloth robe, reining in a terrifying huge magic power, like an ordinary old man who had retreated to the countryside, kind and gentle.

"Mother, let's go have breakfast!"

“(?￣?￣?) Hello~"

After more than ten days, Mebis was already familiar with being called down for breakfast by his son at this time.

In fact, she doesn't like to eat breakfast very much, and she is not used to eating breakfast, but after all, her son made it for herself, and her son is filial piety, and as a mother, she must accept it.

Sou!

With a soft thud, Mebis jumped down from the tree, looking like a mischievous elf active in the forest, with a crystal pendant around his neck, which Kira had specially made to prevent the curse of 'Nexram'.

Ever since he had eliminated Jeff's Death Hunt with Annihilation on Sirius Island, Kira had a vague idea that perhaps he could be able to isolate this evil curse in the same way, so he began to work on it when he returned, but there was no progress at the time.

It wasn't until he got the 'Book of Wisdom' and took his understanding of magic to the next level that he made a breakthrough.

The crystal pendant around Mebis's neck is now the result of this project, using the opposite substance and magic to undo the negative effects of the 'Curse of Ankselam'.

Instead of giving the wearer immunity to curses, it absorbs and dissolves all curses emanating from the wearer, eliminating the death force caused by cherishing life.

Of course, there is a loss in dissolving this unknown energy, and once it reaches the limit of absorption, the crystal will shatter, and it must be replaced at that time.

Although this method is only a palliative but not a cure, it is sufficient.

Naked and small, fleshy and delicate feet on the soft grass, they seemed to be so white and clean all along, untouched by the dirt of the ground or the dust of the air, and had the same secret of cleansing as their owners.

Mebis was no taller than Orcast's waist, after all, she was only twelve or thirteen years old when she was cursed by Anxelam for using the 'law of goblins', and she was still a child.

So when the two stand together, they are not like mother and son, but more like grandchildren.

In fact, the way the two get along during this time is indeed like grandchildren.

The reason for this is that Ogaste has more than 80 years of life experience, and although Mebis was an adult when she died, her body was only in the state of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and she has always maintained the mentality of a young girl due to the influence of physiological hormones.

Looking at the girl standing in front of him, with a blush on her face, Okast's eyes showed a rare tenderness, and he reached out to remove the leaves that had fallen on Mebis's head, and said, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm!"

Mebis cheerfully agreed.

As a mother, as a smart person, she could easily see the apprehension in Ojiast's heart, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of apologies in her heart.

And then...... She took the initiative to stretch out her small, delicate hand and take Ocast.

Ojiast was stunned for a moment, he felt a deep warmth from the palm of this hand, it was the maternal love he had been looking forward to for many years but had never received.

Mebis was also stunned, Ocast's hand was completely different from her hand, and the hand of Gerf in memory, large, rough, powerful, and calloused from holding the magic wand for many years, but just as warm.

"Okast, what are we going to have for breakfast?"

"I prepared milk, sandwiches, eggs, ......"

"So many?! But it's okay if I eat a little more, I won't get fat anyway......"

The two figures, one old and one young, walked slowly in the direction of the villa.

Ocast's manor was very large, and the villa was also very large, but he lived only one of them, not even a servant, not because he couldn't afford it, but because he didn't like it, otherwise he could have made a few squires like Irene.

When the two came to the dining table, they found that Presitto, who had also risen early, had finished his breakfast and was sitting there drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

In the past six months, Preshito has developed such a healthy lifestyle, even in other people's homes.

】

Of course, he made his own breakfast.

Although Presto apologized deeply to Ogaste as soon as they met and explained the reason for coming, Ogaste did not complain that Presitto had abandoned him, but was grateful to him for bringing him into this world, and even more grateful to him for allowing him to meet and live with Mebis as mother and son.

The mother and son did not dislike the addition of a Preshito in such a quiet life, but they usually didn't see it, and they didn't specifically target it, but now they only have their mother and son in their hearts, and they don't have time to entertain Preshito as an outsider.

Preshito himself was not a man who needed to be entertained, and although he was very old, he was not yet young enough to walk.

These days, in addition to keeping an eye on the Albarez Empire and the news of Vestarion, he is reading books in the library of Aucast.

Magic Book!

The library of this villa is large, full of magic books, which have been collected and written by Ogaste over the decades, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure that he has accumulated over the years.

It contains almost all the magic of the past and the present, and when it comes to the richness of the variety, even the Demisore Academy of Magic, the premier in the continent, where Kira has been, and the town of Gazzania in the Kingdom of Fiore, the great library of the Sword Bite Tiger with a long history and many years of inheritance, are far from comparable.

When Preshito saw the library, he couldn't help but be struck by its quantity and quality, a magic book of this magnitude was the greatest treasure in the world for a man who had been immersed in the magic path for decades.

Mebis cheered even more, exclaiming "It's my son" and "I love it here".

Before she met Yuri, Presito, and Volod, her greatest hobby when she stayed on Sirius Island was reading, and it was during that time that she learned magical knowledge far beyond ordinary people.

Due to Mebis's love of the library, from that day on, Mebis and Ogaste spent at least two hours there every day as a mother-son exchange.

Bright and warm light shines through the mirror-like glass window on the two who look like grandparents and grandchildren, but they are actually mother and son, and time passes slowly with the decrease in food and the shift of the shadow of the sun.

After a long time, the two joined Preshito after breakfast.

Drink tea and read the newspaper.

Enjoy with a face!
