Vestarion, western suburbs manor, Ogaste residence.

The month of March has arrived, and the expeditionary force has returned!

"Fairy Tail...... Concentrate!

！ ”

"Oooh!

！ ”

The long-lost noise once again echoed through this magical forest, breaking the silence and tranquility of the place for decades.

After nearly three months of traveling...... No, it was an expedition, and everyone finally let the Twelve Shields of the Empire see the power of the 'Fairy Tail', and from now on they must think carefully about starting a war.

On top of that, there were several Twelve Shields lost in the process, which meant that they could never keep up with the version again, and their next appearance could only be reduced to a stepping stone.

The world is safe!

Late at night, in this manor, which looks like a rich family, familiar faces have a familiar banquet again.

"So, let's count the results of this visit to the Western Continent a little!"

Around the campfire, Kira, Mebis, Preshito, Makarov, and Gerald gathered together to start a summary meeting before leaving the Western Continent.

"The original purpose of our visit to the Western Continent, to investigate the movements of the Albarez Empire, has been determined to be their overseas expansion operation, which has now been stopped, and their war plans have been strangled in the cradle."

"As for the policy of dealing with the twelve shields, the peace talks were successful with five people: Ocast, Irene, Val, Timaria, and Brandish; There are three people who have successfully taught to be people: Serena, Aguirre, and Neinhardt; Directly killed is Bledeman; The whereabouts of Rakad and Jack Bu are unknown; The last one refused to be interviewed. ”

"Of the eleven who are still alive, Olcast, Serena, Brantish, and Timaria will go back with us, Irene will go to Kirtina, and Val will be addicted to new mechanical soldiers, and less than half of them will be left, and they won't be able to make many waves."

After speaking, Kira pushed the non-existent glasses, looked at the four people in front of him and said, "Overall, this operation is quite successful!" ”

】

He stole two more glances at the two old fellows, Preshito and Makarov......

"You two old men really came all the way here and lay down here for three months? Not even bothering to travel is a loss of our 'fairy tail's adventurous spirit! ”

"President, I'm serious, it's better to go back and abdicate directly! Give me the seat to do it, and make sure that the guild will be the richest magic guild in the Fiore Kingdom!

”

Laxus snorted coldly.

Over to you? Then you still have to turn a tavern into a casino, and a magic guild into a business guild?

Makarov thought for a moment and politely rejected Kira's proposal: "I still have a few more years to do it, old man!" ”

"Oh hehe...... You'll regret it, old man! ”

"Humph! The old man is the president of 'Fairy Tail'! ”

After listening to the interjection of the old and the young, Gerald suddenly asked, "This is from the Empire, but what about our side?" ”

"The situation on our side is not optimistic!"

Kira said with a serious face, "Selene and Kurnuki took Irene to Kirtina, Silver stayed in the mechanical town and Val to study the new soldiers, the first generation was busy with mother and son, the two old men were addicted to playing cards and health all day long, Natsu and Lucy's relationship has not progressed, Urrutia has spent all my money in warehouse 7......"

Isn't that a loss......

Several people were speechless for a while.

On the other side, Serena, who was sipping ale, received a shock from the others.

"Holy Ten First?! That Serena?! ”

"The second generation of dragon slayer magician? Is it implanted with a dragon slayer crystal like Laxus? ”

"Eight of them?! Is this really possible? I've heard that the power of the Dragon Slayer Demon Crystal is very violent, right? ”

Gasping and terrifying, Serena listened comfortably to the exclamations one after another, and the whole person couldn't help but start to get up in middle school, dancing on the air by the campfire, two ponytails one by one, stealing the limelight from Wendy.

"Because I'm God~ Serena!

”

Bang Bang Bang ......

Y-shaped gestures, singing and dancing movements, made Nazgray and others applaud one after another. Merely......

"I always feel that it is so different from what I imagined!" Lucy began her daily work of complaining.

Elusa looked at the middle-aged uncle in front of her and said, "It's normal for powerful magicians to have some strange habits, such as the way Volod's predecessor speaks......"

"Uh......"

I'm not talking about his character......

Lucy secretly glanced at Serena's big belly, and sighed secretly in her heart, who would have thought that this obviously Yin Xiugar's number one magician would be such a fat man?

"Don't look at him like he is now, he wasn't fat at all before." Brantish explained to Lucy, "I don't know what he's been through during this time......"

It doesn't matter what he's been through, what matters is that he's now mingling with Natsu and the others, hooking up and back, just like Gildas.

Harpy saw the excitement and stepped forward to ask: "Na, Serena!" You're the first of the Holy Ten, isn't that even more powerful than Kira and the president?! ”

"Of course ......"

Serena listened proudly, but before he could start bragging, a sneer from Dispel was heard.

"Hehe, just him?"

This feigned arrogance was almost tantamount to provoking Serena's trigeminal nerve, and he was like an orange cat and suddenly exploded, scolding, like a clown: "You call him over now!" I still don't believe that guy is that strong......"

At this time, Serena already knew about the relationship between Dispel and Kira, but as long as they hadn't fought each other, he didn't admit in his heart that Kira was as strong as Dispel.

Dispel ignored him and drank and ate meat on his own.

Just as Serena was about to go over to Kira to prove his strength alone, an old voice sounded.

"How did you become like this?"

It was the master of the place, Ogast, who spoke without Mebis by his side, and he regained the majesty of the head of the twelve shields, but the large and distorted Serena almost made him unable to manage his expression.

"Oh! It turned out to be the old man of Ojiast! Long time no see! The bloated Serena first greeted the old man, and then said with a sad face, "It's all sad things, and it's hard to say!" ”

Suddenly, Serena approached Ogaste again, lowered his voice and said, "I heard that you are the emperor's son, is it true?" ”

Ocast's eyelids jumped instantly: Did the news spread so fast? And what's going on with your gossip appearance?!

In fact, in order not to cause too much impact, Natsu and the others were specially told not to talk about Ocast's background everywhere outside, and they did it. But as soon as someone enters the manor and sees the undisguised and happy appearance of Ogaste and Mebis, it is only a matter of time before they know that they are mother and son.

Serena is not an idiot, so naturally he quickly found out, but he shouldn't know about Gerf, so his source of information is......

"Who told you?"

"Newspapers!"

Okast: ??

I took the latest issue of the newspaper from Serena, and sure enough, I saw that in the "entertainment" column above, a few big words were written in bold black handwriting: Eighty years of managing the empire, I am the real prince!

Further down is some "proof" that he and Jelf are father and son, and although the whole manuscript looks like a marketing scribble, Ogaste can't sit still.

If my father was in the Empire, I would have come back to see it, right? If you see that we are not there...... Forget it, it doesn't matter!

Anyway, I have already taken leave, and I will go to Yin Xiugar with my mother tomorrow, so let him spread this kind of thing.

On this evening, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

The next day, everyone packed their bags and boarded the airship bound for the Kingdom of Fiore.
