Chapter Twenty-Four: Farewell to the Cat's Residence
"We will not defend against some evil criminals and strike them absolutely against them." Rahal spoke, with a serious look on his face.
"We are not criminals, nor are we evil.
You know, we just defeated the Six Demon Generals." Natsu spoke angrily.
"I'm sorry, but we know that," Rahal began, "and our purpose is to capture the Six Demon Generals.
Forbidden Spell Cage, this is to prevent the other party from escaping."
"Prevent them from escaping?" Gula's face was not good-looking.
"Do you think we can't stand them?" Natsu was in flames.
"It's disgusting, it's clear that we've seen hard battles and win, and these guys are actually here to take our credit." Lucy also said angrily, "That's it, and you still treat us prisoners like prisoners at the time."
"I'm sorry, but our new Senate was born to deal with the darkness, and we won't slack off in the face of it." Rahal spoke, his expression did not change in the slightest, and although he was apologizing, his attitude was very tough.
This made everyone feel very emotional.
Esther walked over to the other party, and everyone looked at Esther, and the next moment they saw that Esther's body was about to touch the forbidden curse cage.
But the next moment, the forbidden curse cage was directly shattered, and Esther walked in front of the other party.
The latter took a step back, and the other soldiers of the Senate became nervous.
"There's no problem with taking away the Six Demon Generals, after all, it's your Senate's responsibility.
But please note that it was during the period when the Senate was in trouble that we maintained the stability of the magical community in the Kingdom of Fiore." Esther spoke softly, "Also, we are not subordinates of the Senate, don't talk to us with this attitude, we don't owe you anything, but your Senate owes us."
Rahal's face became a little gloomy, but he didn't explode, just looked at Esther with a deep gaze.
"I understand, please hand over to us the four of the [Six Demon Generals] over there, Angel, Dark Night, Cobra, and Heteai." Rahal spoke.
"What, Hete Aike helped us defeat the Six Demon Generals." Gula was the first to object.
"It's okay Gula." "Although I have turned to the light, the mistakes I made in the depths of darkness will not dissipate.
I need to atone for my former self."
Hat's voice was calm.
"But aren't you going to find your brother?" Gula hesitated.
"yes, can I leave this matter to you?"
"I'd love to."
"My brother's name is Wally, Wally Bukanan."
"Huh?" The people of Fairy Tail were a little sluggish, and then looked at Horteai one by one, "Box-faced brother?"
"The gap is too big, isn't it?"
Harpy, Natsu, Lucy, and Gray were talking over there, and Elusa walked back.
"I know the person you are talking about." Elusa spoke.
"What?"
Gula and Hatterai had shocked faces on their faces.
"He's my friend, and he's traveling the world with his friends in good spirits." Elusa spoke.
Hearing Elusa's voice, Hutai cried, "This is really the hope of the world!"
Already satisfied, he walked to the Senate and let the Senate grab itself without resistance.
The four [Six Demon Generals] were arrested, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But the Senate had no intention of leaving.
"In addition to the Six Demon Generals, we have one more target." Rahal spoke, pointing at Gerald, "Gerald Fernandi, the dangerous person who once lurked in the Senate, attacked it, and induced the release of the Wizard Elven Power, is also here."
"What?" The crowd looked at Lahal in shock.
"Don't resist, we're killed
If you resist, you can be killed."
Rahar said seriously.
"What a joke."
"Gerald, but he helped us destroy Nirvana."
"And Gerald doesn't remember anything, he's forgotten what he's done before."
"I'm sorry, but amnesia is not proof of innocence." Rahal spoke, unmoved.
And here Gerald did not resist at all, and let the Senate arrest him.
"Gerald." Wendy shouted.
"I'm sorry, I haven't remembered you yet." Gerald said to Wendy.
"This child was protected by you when he was very young." Xia Lulu spoke.
"yes, that's nice, at least let me know that I've helped other people before." Gerald smiled softly.
Then he glanced at Elusa and walked in the direction of the Senate.
"Aren't you going to say something? Geral," Rahar began, "know that if you go back this time, you will only face the death penalty or life imprisonment."
Hearing Lahal's words, everyone's faces changed.
Elusa's body trembled, her fists clenched.
"I won't let you go." Suddenly, Natsu roared angrily, and the flames burned all over his body, "Gerald is a partner in the battle, how can he be taken away by you."
Natsu was about to rush over when Elusa pinned him to the ground.
"Let go of me." Natsu roared.
"Natsu, no." Elusa's voice trembled.
Gerald turned his head and looked at Elusa, "Elusa, I remember your name, it's the color of your hair."
With that, Gerald walked into the Senate's car.
"Farewell, Elusa."
Finally, they had to say goodbye and the wind reached their ears.
Esther was silent throughout the room.
The first sun stained the sky red, a crimson color, the same color as Elusa's hair.
Elusa sat on the edge of the cliff, tears falling uncontrollably, and Esther watched quietly from a distance.
Elusa looked at the sky, stroked her hair, and cried out loud.
Esther came to Elusa and hugged her in her arms.
The latter hugged Esther tightly and cried loudly.
There was no need for any comfort, all Alusa needed was a catharsis, a shoulder to lean on.
In the depths of the sea of trees, in the direction of Nirvana's initial advance, there is a guild called "The Residence of the Cat".
It's a very little-known guild.
Even before this alliance, this guild was not known, except for Esther.
At this time, after the battle, everyone followed Wendy to the "Cat Lodge", and then rested here.
As for the follow-up events caused by the "Six Demon Generals" and the finishing work, all of them were lost to the Senate.
After all, that's their job.
Coupled with their attitude, everyone is not in the mood to help them at all.
Esther, they've all changed into new clothes.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and horses rely on saddles.
After changing into new clothes, everyone's spirit has changed a lot.
"Did Mr. Esther ever suspect something?" Quila asked, standing beside Esther.
"You mean why Nirvana wants to target the Cat's Residence?"
Esther spoke.
"So Lord Esther is aware of it." Gula nodded, "I didn't hear of it at all before the Cat Lodge was in the alliance here.
It can be said that it is very low-key, or it has no sense of existence.
Such a thing would have been destroyed as soon as Brian had attained Nirvana.
There must be something related to this, we don't know."
"I've asked Hibiki to check this matter."
Esther spoke slowly.
"Although we don't know much about the Residence of the Cat, there are many records of the literature that has been handed down from ancient times to the present.
The reason why Brian wants to destroy the "Cat Lodge" is also very simple, that is, the members of the "Cat Lodge", except for Wendy and Charlulu, are all descendants of the Nilubit clan."
Esther continued, "After the Nirubit clan of that generation discovered the hidden danger of Nirvana again, they sealed it.
Due to some accidents, most of the people lost their lives, but a few people escaped and lived in seclusion in this sea of trees.
One is to escape from the world, and the other is to protect Nirvana."
Hearing this, Gula's face was surprised, and the egg quickly calmed down, "That is to say, Brian was worried that the [Turning Cat's Residence] would have a means to target [Nirvana], so he would attack the [Transforming Cat's Residence]."
"That's how it should be." Esther nodded, "It's over now, and there's no need to ask so much about it.
Anyway, take a good rest here."
Esther stretched out.
Gula also had a smile on her face, yes, it's over, and Nirvana has disappeared into this world, and it doesn't matter what secrets there are.
"Let's go, everyone should be waiting for us." Esther said.
The two came out of the tent together and came to the square.
The president of the "Cat Lodge", named Robbonier, is an old man.
When Esther actually met with the other party, his expression changed slightly, and he finally became silent.
"Everyone, thank you so much for stopping Nirvana." The president spoke, a smile on his face.
"Haha, you're welcome, that's what we're supposed to do." "This time, we're kind of showing off our skills."
"One Night~"
The trio of Cyan Pegasi act as an atmosphere group behind the night.
"This time everybody did a great job." Gula spoke to Leo and Shirley.
"Mister Gila." Leo and Shirley both had smiles on their faces.
"Is there going to be a banquet?" Natsu spat flames from his mouth, and his words resonated with the others.
But compared to their happiness, the "Cat's Home" side is still low and dignified.
Natsu: They were quiet, too.
"I'm sorry, there's one thing we've been hiding from you." The president opened his mouth and bowed to them.
"Grandpa President, it's okay, we all know it." Wendy said, with a smile on her face.
Esther was silent, with a hint of unbearability in her eyes.
"That's right, that's right, don't ruin your mood for this little thing." Natsu said.
"Everyone, please listen to me." The president spoke, and at last the crowd fell silent.
"First and foremost, we're not the last of the Nirubits."
The president's words surprised everyone.
But the latter sentence is frightened, "It is the old man who created the Nirubit tribe and the Nirvana four hundred years ago."
"Huh?!"
Everyone was shocked, if what the other party said was true, wouldn't it mean that the president had lived for more than 400 years.
"Four hundred years ago, around ending the never-ending war, I created Nirvana, a magic that reverses good and evil, and Nirvana has become a symbol of peace in my country.
The world is gradually returning to peace.
If it had been just like that, everything would have been perfect.
But the world is about balance, and the world is like this, and how can we humans avoid it.
The human soul is balanced, and so is good and evil.
The darkness of the part that was transformed into goodness by Nirvana was indeed entangled in Nirvana.
Entangled with the Nirubits, to be exact.
Evil, brutality, and slaughter took place in my country, and eventually led to the destruction of the entire Nirubit race.
In the end, the old man was left alone."
Everyone's eyes were glazed in disbelief.
"No, to be exact, the old man already exists, and the old man you are facing is an almost thoughtful existence."
The president continued, "The old man has been staying here alone in order to pay for his sins, and he has been waiting for the existence that can destroy Nirvana.
I've been waiting for 400 years, and I've finally been waiting for you today."
As the president spoke, the people around him began to disappear one by one.
"There is no such thing as the Residence of the Cat, they are all created by me with my mindful body."
"Created by the body of thought, it has an independent personality." There was shock in her eyes, "What a terrible magic this is."
"Seven years ago, a teenager with a young girl suddenly appeared in front of me and asked me to take care of the little girl.
The boy had a frank gaze, and I agreed at his request.
It would have been decided on a person.
But when I saw the little girl, I changed.
After knowing that the little girl wanted to join the guild, she created the "Cat Lodge."
Hearing the president's voice, everyone was stunned, and Lucy and Shirley directly covered their mouths and cried.
"Don't, I don't, everyone, don't disappear." Wendy covered her ears, "Everyone, don't leave Wendy."
"Wendy!" The old man came to Wendy and stretched out his hand to touch her head, "You don't need a false partner, you already have a real partner, you still have a long way to go."
The president's body is also dissipating, "My wish has been fulfilled, and I don't need to exist anymore.
Lord Esther, Wendy has mentioned you many times, can I ask her to you?"
"Don't worry, old man, I'll take good care of Wendy." Esther spoke, very seriously.
"Then I'll be relieved."
A warm smile appeared on the old man's face.
"No, grandpa!"
Wendy pounced and tried to hug the old man, but the latter dissipated like a bubble.
Wendy fell to her knees and began to cry.
Elusa walked over and hugged Wendy in her arms, "Let your partner fill the pain of losing a loved one!"
Elusa spoke, she knew the pain well, and knew that her partner could fill it.
"Come to Fairy Tail, Wendy."
