Chapter 33 Returning to the guild, and Makarov, who is really cool...
Under the campfire...
Everyone sang and danced, enjoying the night.
It was dawn the next day.
Ian and others, before the villagers woke up, were already ready and arrived at the entrance of the village.
This time, Ian did not forget everyone, including the drunk Kana...
He pulled a small trailer and tied the drunk Kana on it, along with some local specialties given to them by the villagers, such as frozen fish, and delicious wine.
"Gray, my benefactor, and the magisters of Fairy Tail!"
"You must come back often and play!"
Although most of the young people in the village had so much fun yesterday...
Therefore, at this time this morning, I am not completely sober yet...
They were still lying next to the warm bonfire, sleeping soundly with comfortable expressions on their faces, immersed in their own dreams.
But the over-80-year-old village chief of Binghu Village, as well as some elders in the village, have long since woken up due to their age and lack of awareness...
After they noticed that Ian and others were starting to pack their luggage and realized that Ian and others were planning to leave the village, they followed Ian and others silently and watched as Ian and others left the village.
"Village chief, go back!"
"We can just walk the next road by ourselves..."
Gray naturally saw all the concern the village chief and Mr. Su had for him.
He gritted his teeth and arrived at the gate of the village, but he never dared to look back, for fear that the old man in the village would see the reluctance to leave his hometown that still remained in his eyes!
After Gray followed Ian and others several hundred meters away from the village, he turned around and waved vigorously in the direction of his village...
Gray seemed to be saying goodbye. He was saying goodbye to the village, and he also seemed to be saying goodbye to himself.
“There’s no need to act like you’re about to die.”
Ian stood beside Gray. He looked at him, pursed his lips silently, and suppressed the tears that were constantly rolling in his eyes. Gray, who did not let them fall, said with a caring face: "There will be time in the future. , Gray, please come back to the village often! It will be much more convenient to come to the village in the future. According to reliable information, the train will be connected to 'Binghu Village' in a short time."
"Speaking of which, the 'Ice Lake Village' has always been inaccessible to traffic. This is also because there are bipedal flying dragons and bandits who call themselves Fairy Tail Guild Magisters nearby, which has made it difficult for the workers sent by the Heartfilia family to construct. Come and finish the work. Now that we have solved all these problems, the development of 'Ice Lake Village' is completely on track."
"Yeah!"
Upon hearing this, Gray nodded vigorously.
"Father, you are considerate when doing things."
Erza followed Ian and laughed softly after listening to Ian's words of comfort to Gray.
"Speaking of which..."
Natsu used the dragon scale-shaped scarf that Igneel gave him to wrap around his cheeks. He looked at Erza and Ian with a look full of secrets, and he seemed to be thinking about something... …
Not long after, Natsu took a deep breath and asked, "I have always wanted to ask, what is the relationship between Erza and Ian?! From now on, the auras of the two of you, It gives me a very similar feeling.”
"It seems I can no longer hide it..."
"Yes, Erza is my daughter."
Ian held the tiny Erza in front of him and introduced his relationship with Erza to Natsu, Gray, and Kana, who was lying on the stroller and sleeping soundly.
"Goddaughter?!"
Gray raised his eyebrows and asked hesitantly.
"I'm so rude. I am your father's biological daughter."
Before Ian could say anything, Erza directly refuted Gray.
"Eh?!"
As Erza finished speaking...
Both Natsu and Gray showed shocked expressions.
"In that case, Ian, have you already been married?"
Gray looked at Ian and asked in a panic.
"Yeah..."
Ian nodded lightly. He had indeed been married for a long time, more than four hundred years ago...
"Is your relationship status now divorced?"
Gray pursed his lips and looked at Ian and asked nervously.
"That's because you are worrying too much, Gray. The relationship between my wife and I has always been very good."
When Ian heard this, he shook his head and smiled.
"Okay, okay!"
It took Gray nearly ten minutes to reluctantly accept the fact that Ian was married and had a daughter, and this daughter was Erza...
I saw Gray gently wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and murmuring in his heart: "Now, Master, she is completely out of luck. It seems necessary to inform Master so that she can return to the guild immediately. .”
"Let the adults resolve their own matters!"
Gray thought silently in his heart.
"Speaking of which, Father..."
"Looking at the happy conversation you had with the village chief of 'Ice Lake Village' before, did you reach any kind of cooperation?!"
Erza seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Ian and asked softly.
"Because 'Ice Lake Village' became rich overnight, their background is too weak, and they are often extorted by wandering magisters, bandits and gangsters nearby!"
"So I took the initiative and, as the only S-class mage in active service in the guild, lent them the flag and name of the Fairy Tail Guild. This is also a way to protect their safety!"
"Although the reputation of our Fairy Tail guild resounds throughout the entire continent of Ishgar, and is praised by the Magic Council as the cancer of the continent!"
"But fortunately, it is still a bit of a deterrent!"
"With the protection of our guild, 'Ice Lake Village' should be able to prevent many unnecessary troubles..."
"In this way, after no worries..."
"Gray should be able to work hard to practice magic in the guild."
When Ian said this, he looked at Gray beside him. "Although Brother Ian, you can lend the Fairy Tail guild's flag and name to the village chief of my hometown, which makes me really happy!"
"But is it really okay to do this?"
"Will the president be angry?!"
There was a bit of worry in Gray's expression. No matter how he looked at it, it was a bit too much to directly lend the Fairy Tail flag to others, right? You have to at least discuss it with the president!
"It's okay, old man Makarov..."
"Ahem, I mean, I'll take care of the matter from the president's place."
Ian said, patting Gray on the shoulder, signaling Gray to relax.
Ever since, two days later.
Ian and others returned to the town of Magnolia.
After careful calculation, it took Ian and others only five days to complete the task.
It can be said to be extremely fast!
"Bang!"
When Ian and others arrived at the gate of Fairy Tail Guild, before Ian could say anything, Natsu couldn't wait and kicked the gate away...
"Everyone, we have completed the S-level mission!"
"Remember, this is an S-level mission!"
"Ahahaha, this is an S-level mission that you are not worthy of completing."
I saw Natsu running into the guild happily and shouting loudly.
"Tsk! This brat..."
"Damn it! Natsu, are you planning on fighting?!"
As Natsu finished speaking, the Fairy Tail people present frowned...
It was Natsu's showy behavior that made people feel too angry.
Well, they are just envious and jealous...
"Just fight, who is afraid of whom?!"
"Let you have a good look at the strength of Fairy Tail's S-class mage."
Natsu said as dazzling flames appeared on his body.
"Asshole! You're not an S-class mage, are you?"
"I'm just taking advantage of Ian's mission..."
In this regard, the other Fairy Tail people had no intention of coddling Natsu.
Ever since!
The entire Fairy Tail guild, under Natsu's show off, started to get into chaos again.
Various colorful magic arrays bloom in the guild...
Logically speaking...
Next, as the president, Makarov should stand up and end this battle.
However, at this moment...
As the leader of the Fairy Tail guild, Makarov had no time to manage this chaotic guild. He was standing in front of Ian, blowing his beard and glaring, and said angrily: "Ian! How can you do whatever you want? Just lend the Fairy Tail Guild’s name and flag to others!”
"You know that our Fairy Tail guild has been here for more than a hundred years at least! But no one has ever done such a thing!"
“It didn’t happen in the first generation, it didn’t happen in the second generation, and it certainly won’t happen when I was here!”
"You are betraying the first and second generations!"
"It is a betrayal of our Fairy Tail spirit!!!"
In response, Ian gently picked his ears, and said softly with a nonchalant expression: "Really? If that's the case, then I will go and tell the village chief of 'Ice Lake Village' that our president I don’t agree, and I want to take back the guild’s flag and name!”
"It's a pity to say it..."
"After all, the village chief of 'Ice Lake Village' said that if we can lend them our flag and name, he can make the decision and sponsor our Fairy Tail Guild in the name of the village every year with 10 million J in activity funds. With~"
When Ian said this, he made a helpless gesture.
"Wait a minute, Ian, you just said..."
"How much can the village chief of 'Binghu Village' sponsor our guild every year?"
Makarov was stunned, he looked at Ian and asked for confirmation.
"Not much..."
"It's just a mere 10 million J!"
"The president probably doesn't like me~"
Ian shrugged his shoulders and spoke calmly.
"Suck..."
After Makarov confirmed that he heard correctly, he took a deep breath, and all his anger dissipated in an instant.
"No, you have to let me slow down first..."
I saw that Makarov calmed down at first.
"Ahem..."
After Makarov recovered, he coughed twice tactically, and then looked at Ian and said earnestly: "Sorry, Ian! I admit, I was the one who spoke louder just now!"
"I'll tell you the truth..."
"When the second generation was still in the guild, he often taught me that as a Fairy Tail person, we must dare to innovate!"
"I think Ian, your behavior of going beyond the previous ones and lending the guild's name is worthy of promotion."
"If the first generation and the second generation were here, they would be proud of you!"
Makarov looked at Ian and kept praising him. Makarov, who was so angry just now that he wanted to eat Ian alive, immediately performed a Sichuan Opera face change after hearing about the money...
Well, no one in this world can escape the law of true fragrance...
Not even Makarov.
