Chapter 537 Chase and Lucy's Two-Way Journey
At the guild bar, a pair of fair and flawless little feet dangled in mid-air, swaying gently.
Mavis sat casually, turning her gaze away from Chase and Wendy as they walked away, tilting her head and remarking with a smile, "What a group of energetic and wonderful kids!"
"The First Generation? You haven't gone back yet?" Makarov asked in surprise.
The first generation said yesterday that she was going back to Sirius Island, and since she hadn't shown up all day today, he thought she had already gone back.
"I finally got back, so I just took a stroll around the town. Magnolia is much more prosperous and safer than before."
Mavis thought for a moment, then praised, "Not only the guild, but the town is also well protected! The third, no, the ninth generation!"
Fairy Tail has a deep bond with Magnolia, since one of the main reasons she created the guild was to protect the town that had lost the protection of the magic guild (Twilight Demon).
Makarov: "————"
Given the old man's nature, receiving recognition from a senior member of the guild should have moved him to tears.
Hearing the term "ninth generation" is really upsetting—it's all that brat Chase's fault!
"Is it really alright for you to just wander around the city like this, given your current status?" Makarov asked tentatively.
Although those without guild crests cannot detect the First Generation, she is still, after all, a ghost or something similar.
When Makarov said this, he meant no harm; he just felt a strange, indescribable feeling about the image of a "ghost" floating around in the street.
Upon hearing this, the smile on Mavis's face froze instantly, and then a faint mist quickly appeared in her big eyes.
"Although I do have the idea of making funny faces to scare children, even if I did, they wouldn't see it."
"So, Ninth Generation, you don't need to worry about causing trouble for the guild at all. If, really, it's not going to work out, I can go back to Tenrou Island right now."
"Waaah, even if I'm disliked, I won't cry. I'm an adult now!"
Even so, she couldn't help but sob softly.
"I...I...I had absolutely no intention of sending you back!"
Makarov panicked on the spot and hurriedly explained, "This will always be your home; you can stay as long as you want!"
However, Mebius ignored her, tilting her head back and trying to hold back her tears.
"What a nasty old man, he actually made the first generation cry."
"That's incredibly disrespectful, Ninth Generation!"
Macao and the others, not wanting to miss out on the drama, continued to kick someone when they were down.
"I didn't do it! Laxus? Lucy? Erza? Who, who can help me calm down?!" Makarov shouted, clutching his head.
The scene, which had briefly calmed down because Chase left, descended into chaos again in less than a minute.
Uru and Urutia, the two "outsiders," stared at each other, wondering why Mr. Makarov had suddenly become so startled by the empty air beside him.
Corner of the hall.
"Hey, it sounds like someone's calling you. Aren't you going over?" Bahamut said to Laxus, but his eyes were fixed on Mavis out of the corner of his eye.
Because it was a Hades dragon that used the power of the underworld, it could vaguely sense the existence of Mavis, this "outsider," when it decided to follow Chase.
Now that it has the Fairy Tail crest engraved on its body and has officially become a member of the guild, it can see clearly.
It is somewhat similar to the magic used by Grandine to awaken the soul of the sleeping dragon, but there are fundamental differences between them.
Human magic four hundred years in the future certainly has some research value.
Hades thought to himself.
"Never mind, I'm not good at coaxing children."
Laxus picked at his earwax, spread his hands as if he hadn't heard, and said, "I'm even less good at cleaning up after the elderly."
As expected of him, one sentence directly hit the sore spot of the "old" and the "young".
"Compared to this, what do you think of this kind of guild atmosphere?" he asked in turn.
Bahamut surveyed the chaotic scene and said in a flat voice, "Boring."
"Really? Then what's with that faint smile on your lips?"
"Yes, really? Don't overthink it. I... I just haven't fully adapted to human form yet!" Bahamut retorted forcefully, his face slightly flushed.
Would a ruthless, brutal, and cold-blooded Pluto dragon feel relaxed and comfortable in a mere human environment?
Are you kidding me!
"That arrogant tsundere." Laxus chuckled.
Seeing a reflection of one's past in a dragon—isn't that a unique kind of destiny?
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing, you'll understand later."
Guild's underground library.
Compared to the hustle and bustle above, this place is so quiet it seems out of place.
Upon arriving here, Wendy quickly found the magic book that she had been interested in before and sat down.
The blue-haired girl quietly flipped through the magic books that interested her, occasionally raising her bright, sparkling eyes to look at the man standing under the bookshelf.
The sound of papers turning echoed in the room, as light and peaceful as Wendy's mood at that moment.
While at the Cat's Abode, she enjoyed reading all sorts of books to broaden her knowledge, naively believing that becoming learned would allow her to find Grandine.
Unfortunately, too many things happened after she came to Fairy Tail, not to mention that she joined the strongest team that was known for causing trouble!
The reason I asked Chess to keep me company was not only because I was too embarrassed to punish others, but also because the sense of security Chess provided was irreplaceable—within the guild.
Chase had no idea what the little guy was thinking at that moment; he was just wandering around the bookshelf casually.
He preferred the visceral thrill of hand-to-hand combat to reading, but since Wendy liked it, he, as her older brother, would certainly cooperate unconditionally.
Of course, if it were Lucy, she'd have to play a good prank on her!
"Achoo!"
Outside, Lucy, who was asking Urutia a question, suddenly sneezed.
"What's wrong? Have you caught a cold?" Ultear asked, holding the magic crystal ball in her hand.
Now that she is Chase's sister, Lucy is her half-sister, so it's only natural for her to care about her.
"No, no, it's definitely Chess talking badly about me again!" Lucy said confidently.
In a sense, she and Chase were going in the same direction.
"Where were we? Oh, right, when I use the Arc of Time, it sometimes rewinds the target to a time period longer than expected. Does Ultear know what's wrong?"
Following Chase's earlier advice, Lucy had already begun trying to learn the lost magic of the Arc of Time while waiting for the Eclipse Gate to be modified in the future world.
As a Celestial Spirit Mage, she indeed displayed exceptional talent in this area, quickly mastering the most basic magic circle construction.
However, various difficulties and minor problems also followed.
The future Ultear disappeared after the Dragon King Festival. Now that she has met the original Ultear here, she naturally cannot miss such a good opportunity to get answers to her questions, and she does not want to let down Chesgo's expectations and trust in her.
"Hmm—try going back in time with this crystal ball."
Urudia placed the crystal ball on the table, raised her hand, and gently snapped her fingers. The crystal ball immediately shattered into countless fragments.
"Yes!" Lucy took a deep breath and did as instructed with great enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, Chess was unaware that his silly sister was diligently working towards the direction he had indicated. After wandering aimlessly around the bookshelf, a book carelessly tossed in a corner successfully caught his attention.
Reaching out, I took it down, brushed off the thin layer of dust that had accumulated on the yellowed cover, and the title immediately came into view:
