Chapter Seventy-Seven: Releasing the Past and Returning

In the roar,

Pieces of crystal stones containing magic power fell into the sea one after another, stirring up waves of waves.

It didn't take long for the huge crystal tower to sink completely into the sea.

Perhaps the crystal stone containing huge magical power will turn into a magical vein in this sea in the future.

Led by Esther, Elusa, Natsu, Gray Lucy, Harpy, Jubien, Hugh, Simon, Woolly, Miliana and others sat on a large steel ship, quietly watching the Tower of Paradise disappear into the sea.

The silence of the Tower of Paradise, Esther and the others didn't feel much.

Elusa, Woolley, Simon, Hugh, and Miliana were stunned.

Elusa was devastated by what had happened to her here.

Simon and the four are because even if Gerald deceived them here, this is still the place where they have lived for so many years.

And now, whatever tower they brought them, it has turned to dust and disappeared into the sea.

For the five Elusa who witnessed all this, it is self-evident how complicated the mood is.

"It's so scary, I almost died here!" Lucy looked ahead with some palpitations.

This trip to the Tower of Paradise was a battle that defeated another powerful enemy and gained great growth, but it was also almost killed.

"Love!" Harpy was as energetic as ever.

"Thanks to Lord Esther, otherwise we would all be buried in this tower." Zhu Bi'an was also missing.

Gray looked a little dazed, and his mind was full of the woman named Urrutia, who looked the same as his master, Ulu.

Esther glanced at Elusa, who was standing at the bow of the boat, a little silent, and walked over and looked with him in the direction of the vanished Tower of Paradise.

It was like when they were children, watching the scenery and chatting together by the small river in the forest outside the guild.

It's just that at this time, Elusa has indescribable complexity in her heart.

"Esther, I'm ......"

Before Elusa could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Esther, "If you say thank you, don't say it."

You once said that you have three people in your life who are most important to you.

One is your grandfather and the other is the young Gerald.

And one more, you say it's me.

You said that I once pulled you out of the darkness and brought you to the light.

In fact, I also know that there is still pain in your heart.

And that's where the roots are.

Since I have saved you, then continue to save.

Nothing else.,Just do what a childhood sweetheart should do! ā€

"Or, you can also think that it's a childhood sweetheart!"

"Can that be the same?" Elusa's voice involuntarily raised, "One is not good, you won't be able to go back."

You know, after you're trapped in Gerald's magic, watching you fall behind by him, do you know how worried I am, if something happens to you, how am I going to go back and explain to Mira, how to explain to everyone? ā€

Esther was slightly stunned, and his gaze softened, "It's the same, if it were me who had such an encounter, you would do the same." ā€

"I—" Elusa opened her mouth slightly, but she couldn't say anything.

Esther smiled slightly, "One more thing, if something happens to me, you really just think about how to explain it to everyone, what about yourself?" ā€

Esther's gaze became a little aggressive.

Elusa dodged under Esther's gaze, not daring to face it, and that face turned unexpectedly red.

Is this a confession?

Elusa began to think crankily in her heart, but she diluted her previous complicated feelings a lot.

"I once said that we can't interfere with the past, and every past should be nourishment for our growth, not a nightmare." Esther spoke, and the smile on her face was deeply engraved in Elusa's heart.

"But, actually, I don't hope that that painful past will be proof of your existence.

If you can, the proof of your existence is only Fairy Tail! ā€

Elusa was slightly silent, and for a long time Elusa had a smile on her face, yes, all you need is a fairy tail.

At this moment, Elusa has truly recovered her demeanor as the "Fairy Queen".

"Of course, I don't want you to give up everything completely, you still have to bear the responsibility!" Elusa turned her head and looked at the four Simons who were dazed, "There are still people who need you to lead them to the light." ā€

Elusa looked over as well.

At this moment, Elusa's soft voice sounded in Elusa's ears, "Compared to you, their proof has completely disappeared with the silence of the Tower of Paradise.

Whether it's to say goodbye to the past or to be a partner, you need to talk to them properly. ā€

Elusa was no longer confused in her eyes, and smiled slightly.

The two looked at each other, and everything was silent.

"Love, look over there!" Harpy flew up to Lucy, "It feels so harmonious!" ā€

Lucy looked over at Elusa and Esther, tilting her head, "Indeed! But one of them seems to already have a girlfriend! ā€

"The thought that one of them already has a girlfriend makes me feel romantic!"

"Love!" Harpy covered his mouth, "Is Lucy jealous again?" ā€

"Not really!" Lucy was a little annoyed.

"There's a leg ......," Harpy said, ignoring Lucy's anger and curling his tongue.

"Don't roll your tongue to speak!"

Lucy and Harpy are fighting.

Gray was still thoughtful, and Natsu was throwing up in the dark.

……

The boat docked, and everyone dismounted.

"Ha, it's always resurrected" Natsu was resurrected with blood and spirit.

During this time, Alusa and Simon had a long personal conversation, and after the end of the misunderstanding between them that had lasted for eight years, they finally resolved it.

Although there is no longer the intimacy it once had, there is no longer a barrier.

And they really have to come out of the past.

On the contrary, after the Paradise Tower, Gray became a little depressed, and even used some ways to investigate some things.

Esther knew that he was investigating Urrutia.

Esther didn't interfere, everyone in the guild had their own story, and everyone had the right to choose their own path.

Although Esther will not interfere, like Elusa, if Gray is in trouble, he will inevitably break in as usual.

"Are you really leaving?" Elusa looked at Simon and the four of them with reluctance in her eyes.

finally got together and cleared up the misunderstanding, and Elusa still cares about her childhood partner.

"Actually, you can join Fairy Tail!"

Hearing this, the four of them glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces, "We want to be with you too, little Ailu." "It's just that I've been living in the tower before, and now that I'm finally getting out, I want to look around." ā€

Valley

Simon looked at Elusa's face with a deep and gentle gaze, "I have a sister who was caught when she was attacked by the Magic Order, and she was lost.

I wanted to find out if she was still alive. ā€

"I also have an older brother!" This is Woolley.

"Sister, this is the four of us who have to awaken after discussion.

Even Hugh lost the gloom on his face and regained the look that a teenager should have.

"We want to look around and find our own life!"

Elusa wanted to say something, but Esther stood up, "Elusa, since it's their decision, then respect it!"

Everyone has the qualification to choose their own path, which is the principle of "Fairy Tail".

Since Simon and them want to see the outside world, let it go! ā€

Esther's words silenced Elusa.

Then Esther reached out and tapped it on the foreheads of the four of them with incredible speed, and a pure white mark was imprinted on the center of their eyebrows.

"It's similar to your telepathy.

It will only be activated when you are most in danger.

It contains my magic, which is roughly equivalent to my full strength, and should be able to save you at a critical moment. ā€

Hearing Esther's words, the four of them touched their foreheads in surprise.

Esther's magic, it was quite terrifying, and even Gerald was defeated.

They really couldn't imagine what kind of enemy would be able to defeat Esther.

"If you have a problem that can't be solved in the future, you can also come to Fairy Tail to find me!" In the end, Elusa agreed.

In fact, Esther could probably guess what Simon's four people thought.

It's one thing not to want to bother Elusa.

But more importantly, for eight years, they have been misunderstanding Elusa, even if the misunderstanding has been resolved, but that guilt will not be easily eliminated no matter what.

Perhaps, because of this, they don't know how to get along with Elusa.

On top of that, Elusa has clearly gotten rid of her past and has a better partner.

A group of partners who can sacrifice their lives to fight for Elusa.

Compared to Esther and the others, Simon felt that they were not qualified to be Elusa's sidekicks.

Moreover, they represent Elusa's painful past, and perhaps they are afraid that Elusa will remember her painful past when she sees them.

Maybe there are some reasons they say they want to find a way to live their lives.

After all, they were in the tower, staying too long, and they also wanted to find, as Esther said, the freedom that truly belonged to them.

"Can I talk to you alone?" Suddenly, Simon looked at Esther and said.

Esther nodded, and the two of them stayed away from the curious gazes of the others.

"Actually, I've always loved Elusa!" Simon's first sentence only surprised him a little, but it was still expected.

In the original book, Simon likes Elusa.

It's really Simon, and Esther can also feel Simon's special feelings for Elusa.

"I can feel it!" Esther said, very bland.

This sentence made Simon stunned.

"My magic is special, and you should know about it.

My first elf, Shanaido, had a special ability to sense the emotions of others, and so could I.

Although you hide it well, your emotions can't fool me!

Just, why are you telling me this? ā€

It's not surprising that Elusa is liked,

Although it is said that Elusa usually acts in a vigorous and resolute manner, strong and neat,

But her cuteness and beauty can't be ignored, otherwise she wouldn't have the title of "Fairy Queen".

"That's right," Simon smiled, "I like Elusa, but I never express it, I know that my relationship with Elusa is not to the point of a couple, and I know that Elusa has always regarded me as a partner, a brother, and a family member."

But I can feel that Elusa is not in a normal mood for you! ā€

Simon was a little stunned, "When Alusa mentions you, her expression will fly, and there will be special emotions in her eyes.

It's just that the girl is not good at expressing her emotions, and she is clumsier than anyone else. ā€

Simon patted Esther on the shoulder, "So, please, Ilusha will be handed over to you in the future, help me, help us, take good care of her." ā€

"I'll take good care of Elusa, it's just that I respect Elusa's choice." Esther looked at Simon and made her most serious promise, "As long as I'm here, no one can hurt her." ā€

"I believe in you!" Simon also had a smile on his face.

……

Simon and the others left in an ox cart.

Esther and the others waved to them and bid them farewell.

Simon ...... What did I say to you" Elusa finally couldn't help it anymore and walked up to Esther and asked.

"What are you talking about, just saying that there is a little girl, he is not very relieved, I hope I can take care of that little girl!" Esther said with a smile.

"I don't need you to take care of me!" Elusa said with a red face.

Esther laughed, it was rare to see Elusa look like this.

"Everyone, it's time for us to go back, after being away for so long, I don't know how the guild has been built?"

Esther's words made the eyes of several people light up, and there was eagerness in their eyes.

It's been a long time since then.

By the time they went on vacation, the Fairy Tail guild was almost complete, and it wasn't far from being fully built.

I originally planned to spend the vacation, but I was delayed for so long to attend the unveiling ceremony of the new guild.

However, there is a high probability that they missed it, and Esther and they did not have time to move forward slowly, and after three days, they finally returned to Magnolia.

From a distance, a giant claw rose from the sky, and the giant claw that was originally flesh and blood was covered by a layer of rock, and a stone staircase looked upward.

At the top, there is a three-story building like a castle.

Brilliant atmosphere, with unimaginable prosperity.

Pushing open the door, Esther stepped into the guild.

The moment they stepped into the guild, the originally lively guild went silent.

"It's Esther, and Elusa, Natsu, Gray, Lucy Harpy, huh, who's that girl?"

After a short period of silence, the excitement resumed, or rather, it became more lively.

Before Esther could speak, a figure threw herself into Esther's arms, and a pair of slender arms hugged Esther hard.

You don't have to think about it, you know who it is!
