In the villa, the reception hall.

Bright light streams into the room, pulling images of black-and-white panes across the floor.

On one side of the hall, there is a set of milky white, gold-supplemented European-style tables and chairs, more than a dozen small and delicate white porcelain teacups are placed on the table in a circle, as if connected with the table, and the hot tea that has just been brewed in it rises repeatedly white due to the intersection of hot and cold air, and the refreshing fragrance wanders throughout the room.

It's like a medieval salon.

Like-minded people from all walks of life gather in a richly decorated aristocratic villa to enjoy tea and drinks, accompanied by classical and elegant music, and start a casual conversation around a hot topic of the moment.

But...... Everyone in this world knows that any activity that exists in the nobility or other high society, once it is linked to the guild of Fairy Tail, will ruthlessly break its proper appearance.

"Lucy, your ass is too big, sit down a little!"

"Don't say that in front of outsiders, Natsu!

”

"Wendy, come here, my sister will sit with you!"

"No...... No need ......"

"It seems that there are not enough chairs, there is no way, Laxus, you can sit on me like this!"

"What kind of posture are you? Don't get me up yet!

”

"Gray! Don't take off your clothes!

”

"Didn't the two of them wear much? Now that you have arrived in the Western Continent, of course, you have to follow the customs! ”

"No...... There is no such custom as stripping naked in the Western Continent! ”

Due to the large number of people seated, everyone sat very crowded, almost everyone was buttocks to buttocks, and a few even stood by the window and pretended to look at the scenery to hide the embarrassment that they had no seats to sit.

Mebis sat in a separate chair, swaying her naked jade feet like a child, teacup in her hand, and grinning at the noisy scene.

Happiness is someone else's, and Ogaste only feels noisy.

He sat expressionlessly in the chair next to Mebis, closed his eyes and lowered his head to drink tea in meditation, pretending not to see the noisy scene in the room, nor to hear the sound of "ping pong" in his ears.

Peng! Syllable! Boast! ……

Oujiast's eyebrows were tightly locked, and the hands holding the porcelain cup ears trembled slightly, and he silently persuaded himself in his heart: Whew...... Calm down...... They are all just children, and they are at a lively and active age, so it is normal to make a little noise...... It doesn't matter, as long as they don't break the furniture.

Although he doesn't care about the money, the furniture is really expensive!

Brandish had said that the old man had a good temper, and she was right!

"Quiet me guys! We're guests in someone's house now, not in a guild! Pay attention to the reputation of Fairy Tail!

”

It seemed that she couldn't bear it anymore, and Elusa suddenly shouted, as if she was serious, as if to say, "If you don't calm down, I'm going to beat someone."

Her roar was useful, and all the noise in the room abruptly stopped, and the air fell silent.

Ogaste breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face: "This little girl is quite majestic...... Speaking of which, she is somewhat similar to Erin, is it a coincidence? But it didn't break the ...... at all.'

Syllable!

In the silence, the sound of the porcelain cup breaking was extremely loud.

“……”

Ogast's smile froze on his face before it could bloom: Who is it?! Who broke the old man's cup?! It's okay to disturb the days when the old man and his mother are reunited, and you can ignore scratching the walls, smashing potted plants, and making a mess of the library, and now you are starting to smash the furniture again, do you really think that the old man is old and easy to bully?

Thinking of this, Ogaste was furious in his chest, and he was determined to teach this group of lawless imps a lesson!

As a result, as soon as he looked up, he saw Mebis's pure, flawless, clear, innocent, and overwhelmed turquoise eyes, and his anger suddenly vanished.

Mebis looked at the porcelain cup that had been broken by himself in a daze, and smiled awkwardly after a long time: "Yes...... I'm sorry...... Because I was scared ......"

At this moment, Ogaste felt that his heart was about to melt.

What a loving smile! The old man's mother is like the most perfect and holy elf!

For the sake of my mother's face, just teach the little ghost or something, it's all a family!

But!

As long as the old man does not die one day, I am the only son of my mother!

Thinking of this, Ocast's eyes became unkind when he looked at the few imps.

Preshito glanced at Ogast without a trace, and couldn't help but mutter: What's the matter with this guy? In just a few seconds, the momentum changes so many times? Is it true that all older people are like this? Sure enough, health is very important!

After a few minutes......

"I understand what you mean. Because they were worried about our safety, they took a boat to the Western Continent to inquire about the news, but they were captured halfway through the boat, is that right? ”

Mebis's soft voice made Elusa and the others feel ashamed: "Yes...... I'm sorry! It's us who have embarrassed the guild! ”

"It's okay, it's okay...... It's the opponent who is too strong, and there's no shame in losing to them! ”

Is this a consolation? None of us have read any books, don't lie to the kids!

"Little ghost, you lost too?" Presitto looked at Laxus, who was standing by the window and pretending to be cold, and there was something teasing in his tone.

“…… Less verbose! ”

After explaining the reason for her and the others' actions, Elusa began to care about the most important thing: "Ahem...... So...... Hashi, how did your negotiations go? Did you succeed in stopping them from starting a war? Where are they, president? ”

"Well...... this"

Mebis hesitated for two seconds, then looked at Ogaste with a look of hope, "My side is basically successful. Right, Ogast? ”

This situation is indeed a bit embarrassing for this 80-year-old man, on the one hand, his father who has a tendency to destroy the world, and on the other hand, his mother who is determined to save the world, he is not on anyone's side.

So Ogaste was silent, looking down at the cup of black tea in his hand, like a child who made a mistake and didn't dare to admit it to his mother.

With a heavy and long breath, there were rapid and brief ripples on the dark red tea surface, and after a long time, Ogaste sighed helplessly, and then said softly: "Yes......"

Dad, I'm sorry! In order for his mother to be happy, my son can only suffer from you.

Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, but Timaria was not satisfied: "Won't it? Old man! Did you just decide not to fight? I'm still looking forward to the 'holy war'......"

However, before he could finish speaking, more than a dozen eyes shot at her in unison!

"Uh...... I mean, with such an important decision, should we wait for the emperor to come back before making a decision? ”

Only then did everyone retract their gaze with satisfaction.

'Good risk, good risk...... Luckily, I changed my tune quickly, otherwise these people would have eaten me......

Timaria wiped her sweat with a lot of heart, she really wanted to go to war, she wanted to gallop on the battlefield, but she knew better that even if she could use the characteristics of magic to defeat the two squads of Elusa and Galaxus, a total of more than a dozen people, as long as the old man Okast opened his mouth, she and Brandish could only be obedient - who made the family strong and high-status?

"No!"

Okast replied decisively, "Since the Emperor has not announced the start of a 'holy war', then we have no reason to provoke any war!" ”

"When you go back to the royal capital next time, you can make it clear to Imber and Yakil by the way, and ask them to stop the 'overseas expedition' plan immediately!"

In fact, in Ogast's view, this 'overseas expedition' was meaningless, and its only purpose was to ease the desire of the militants in the empire to fight.

And now, this plan has another role, that is, to make Mebis, who doesn't know the specific content of the plan, feel that he has obeyed the persuasion of the other party, gave up the plan to go to war, and brushed a lot of impression points in front of his cute mother!
