The lively and boisterous banquet continued until nightfall.
Energetic Naz enthusiastically suggested extending the banquet until the next morning, but this proposal was immediately rejected by Makarov.
Working through the night didn't bother Marcao and the others, but Mystergan and Nightwold returned to Edolas to advance their work.
These members of the Sirius Group, who had "disappeared" for two and a half years, have just returned and need a quiet environment to adapt to the changes. They also have many personal matters to attend to, such as contacting friends and cleaning their residences.
The stars dotted the night sky, casting a soft glow over the city of Magnolia.
Chase walked side by side with Mira and Erza along the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar riverside street.
"The Ten Holy Councils, the Crisis on the Surrounding Continents, the Sorcerers of Edolas—"
Looking at the neatly paved new stone road beneath his feet, Chess sighed softly, "There's so much to do."
Compared to the future seven years from now, although only two and a half years have passed here, due to the chain reaction caused by his time travel, many unexpected events have emerged ahead of time, and there are even signs that they are about to deviate from the original story.
Neither the Alvarez Empire nor the Five Dragon Gods are in Ishgar, making cross-continental dealings rather troublesome. Having just returned, he doesn't want to concern himself with them yet.
Or to be more precise, it should be placed after two other things.
First, of course, is the demon "Phoenix," which they had long been eyeing.
Putting aside the potential harm this thing might cause, just the fact that Eclair is now a member of Fairy Tail means that Chess can't just sit idly by.
If all goes well, it can also give Mira and Erza a small boost, making them more likely to win against enemies like the Twelve Shields.
Secondly, there is the last organization on the continent of Ishgar that could threaten Fairy Tail: Tartaros.
In fact, Chess's initial plan was to find and beat up the last corner of the Balam Alliance, the dark guild established by Inaz, after the S-rank assessment. After all, for him at that time, Hades Maldo was a pretty good target for obtaining cards.
Unfortunately, the journey to the future happened unexpectedly.
Now, he has not only activated his second magic source, but also obtained powerful cards such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon (White Stone) and Red-Eyes Black Dragon in the Dragon King Festival. Both his combat experience and magic power have made a qualitative leap. It will probably be difficult for him to get a new card from Maldo.
However, the Tartaros Gate remains a hidden danger, and the "Book of End," which concerns Natsu's life, must also be obtained before he can be considered safe!
It remains to be seen whether former Speaker Crawford Him will, as in the original story, secretly seek cooperation with the Gates of Tartaros in an attempt to unleash the magic of Fez to destroy the entire continent.
"With everyone here, we can definitely overcome any difficulties easily!" Mira said confidently.
Since Elfman and Lisanna both traveled to the future with her, even though this is two and a half years into the future, it doesn't really have much of an impact on her.
So, with a smile, she said to her younger siblings, "Chess's house is quite big, and one person can't clean it all by themselves. Please take care of the cleaning in our house," and then left the guild.
The straightforward Elfman wanted to say that Chase didn't have many card partners, but before he could finish speaking, Lisana grabbed his arm and dragged him away.
"That's true, but what you really mean is that I'm here, right?" Chase said shamelessly.
"Oh dear, it's really impolite to directly expose a girl's thoughts~"
Although her words carried a sense of condemnation and disdain, Mira's fair and delicate face remained smiling, and she did not refute them.
"Thank you for the compliment."
"————" Shameless, despicable card player!
Mira suddenly realized that Chesk had completely taken over her cunning and scheming nature.
"Honestly, Erza, how did we end up liking this awful guy?" Her gaze bypassed Chase and landed on Erza on the other side.
Erza kept her head down, looking dejected and absent-minded, until Mira asked again, at which point she looked up in surprise: "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Chase asked.
"No, it's nothing." Erza shook her head.
"Could it be—that he regrets not inviting you to perform on stage with him earlier?"
Recalling the tragic fates of Mystogan and Laxus, Erza's tone instantly became incredibly firm: "No way! I have absolutely no regrets!"
While she certainly has a strong desire to perform, she simply can't bring herself to do anything so shameless in front of her friends.
Of course, if it's a script that's mandatory for a stage play, then she'll have to go through with it even if she has to bite the bullet.
"So that means—Nate Walker likes Mystergan, right?" Chase changed the subject, surprisingly being quite sensible for once.
He was so focused on the Oración Seis that he might face enemies in the future that he subconsciously overlooked Erza's strange behavior.
We had already been through the same thing once before we even confirmed our feelings for each other. As a seasoned player, I naturally wouldn't fall into the same trap twice.
Upon hearing the correct answer, Mila, who had been internally complaining about the phrase "go on stage to perform" just a moment ago, revealed a satisfied smile.
Throughout the journey, her keen observation had already detected something amiss, which is why she deliberately steered the conversation towards Erza.
Otherwise, given her personality, she would have already used Edchas and Edmilla's child to flaunt it in front of Erza!
Erza wanted to deny it, but looking at Chess's face, she nodded slightly: "Yes, I do care a little."
That's really true.
"This melancholy look doesn't suit my Fairy Queen at all. Listen carefully, Erza."
Chase stopped, took Erza and Mira's hands in his own, pulled them in front of him, and said seriously, "No matter who you end up with in Edolas, you and Mira will always be mine. Anyone who tries to take you away will have their legs broken and be thrown into the river to feed the fish!"
The warmth from her clenched palms made Erza's worries vanish instantly as she gazed into Chase's unwavering eyes.
"I can't believe I'm worried about something so trivial. I'm such a terrible girlfriend."
Once she regained her composure, her old habit of being strict with herself immediately resurfaced: "Chess, I'm going to write you a thousand-word, no, ten-thousand-word self-criticism!"
"Hahaha, a 10,000-word self-criticism is too much, and besides, I also—"
As Chase was speaking, his vision was suddenly completely filled by a burst of crimson hair—his mouth was blocked.
Yes, in a physical sense.
After the successful sneak attack, the Fairy Queen quickly withdrew her neck, her flushed cheeks steaming, her eyes darting around, her voice barely audible: "Then, let's use this as compensation."
Chase and Mira were both bewildered: Taking the initiative?
When did Erza become so bold?
"Oh, Erza! I was thinking of you, and you actually ate right in front of me!" Mira was the first to react, angrily rebuking her.
"Chase is our mutual boyfriend. If you're so capable, you can have him too." Erza said confidently, ignoring everyone else.
"Hmph, fine, I'll eat it, and not only will I eat it, I'll show you how it stretches! Chess, turn your face around!"
"Um, could you perhaps consider my feelings as the person involved?"
"cannot!"
"Oh, Erza, you've really ruined my life—"
The bright moonlight shone down, illuminating two figures embracing and kissing on the quiet street, and Erza watching with wide eyes like a curious child.
However, none of them noticed that a fishing boat was slowly passing by under the cover of night on the moat next to them.
Inside the cargo hold, the old fisherman peeked out from the shadows, a warm smile playing on his slightly weathered face. He couldn't help but sigh, "These young people nowadays."
As a regular NPC who always appears to remind Lucy to be careful when she passes by, he naturally also learned of the Fairy Tail Sirius Group's return.
Following Magnolia tradition, I intended to give Chase a proper "greeting," but unexpectedly stumbled upon this interesting scene!
