Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

Hinata Hoshino took her pulse and said, "You've been pregnant for two months. Be careful and take care of yourself. Last time I saw you with a friend who wasn't very fair-skinned, you went to a cheap hotel. I hope that person isn't some chopsticks and a big vat."

"You, hum!"

"My Goddess!"

"My darling!"

Another one has broken down. Oh, my inner demons, I've become passive and unmotivated.

Soon, I got off work and on my way back to my apartment, I encountered a group of middle-aged women chatting.

"Xiao Zhang, you're almost thirty, aren't you?"

"Oh right, you're already over seventy, which rounds up to eighty, then rounds down to one hundred, and then you'll pass away. Take better care of yourself."

"Xiao Zhang, look at what I'm saying. I'm just concerned about you. If you don't get married at this age, what will you do in the future?"

"Oh right, right, right. Your husband cheated on you in middle age, your son went abroad, and nobody cares about you. That's one of the benefits of marriage."

Hinata Hoshino's performance caused a collective breakdown, and the group of middle-aged women immediately scattered. Hinata Hoshino scratched his head, thinking, "Has my inner demon gone mad? Who wants to stay here?"

The next day, Hinata Hoshino went to work as usual and encountered the Truck Immortal again on the way. "Hmm? This is strangely replaying the same scene."

"Duang!"

I traveled through the illusion again and experienced once more the birth of Sun Wukong—family members offering sacrifices to heaven.

"Sigh! Hoshino, even if you don't have the talent for cultivation, I can still take care of you."

"How wonderful it would be to have a life where you get more for less work, or even get something for nothing."

"You! Alas!"

Hinata Tokuma sighed and left, and then the scene in front of him began to speed up, but Hinata Hoshino only felt bored.

Chapter 294 Breaking Through the Inner Demon's Defenses, The Great Demon Battle Martial Arts Competition

"what!"

Hinata Hoshino yawned, almost as if he were eating popcorn or drinking a soda.

All sorts of scenes, all sorts of people, all sorts of attempts to keep him—for Hinata Hoshino, they are all things of the past.

Aside from a sigh of realization that it was so outrageous back then, Hinata Hoshino had no other thoughts, as if what was in front of him was just a boring movie.

My inner demons started to crumble, and I've never seen such a ruthless person so nonchalant about their regrets.

Hinata Hoshino waved, surprising the inner demon, who pointed to himself. Hinata Hoshino nodded and continued waving.

"hiss!"

My inner demons are unresolved. What's going on? This is the first time I've encountered someone who can see themselves.

"Is something wrong, honey?"

"It's nothing, but could you please write this script a little better? I can't get into it at all. Especially copying my memories directly from the book won't work, you know that?"

"You're right, I'll definitely improve next time."

"Okay, let's go down."

"Okay! No, that's not right!"

The inner demon grabbed Hyuga Hoshino by the collar, shouting, "Show me some respect! I am the inner demon!"

Hinata Hoshino figured out the rules here, materialized a bucket of popcorn, and faced with his inner demons' hysteria, Hinata Hoshino grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth, "So?"

"Aren't you regretful?"

"Pity!"

"Don't you want to rewrite your regrets yourself?"

"The light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains."

"You old man!"

"Hey, young demon, don't curse. Do you need this box of gold tissues, or this box of silver tissues, or this box of tissues smeared with Tiger Balm?"

"I don't want to play anymore!"

Hinata Hoshino opened his eyes, shook his head, and let his inner demons, which he couldn't resist teasing, open up.

"Hela, how long have I been here?"

"About seven years."

"Wow, so much time has passed, I have to go back and take a look."

"Boom!"

As Hyuga Hoshino gradually became assimilated, he kicked open the door, and the guild fell silent for a moment before erupting into cheers.

"Hoshino!"

"Hoshino-nii!"

"Hoshino-nii-san!"

Hinata Hoshino smiled and put his arm around a group of girls, "It's been a long time, everyone."

Hinata Hoshino walked towards the counter, where Makarov was still drinking. "Hey, Chairman, haven't you stepped down yet?"

"Where did these wise men come from? They only know how to destroy and act willfully."

Makarov's eyes darted around. "Hoshino, why don't you take on this chairmanship?"

"There's no need for that. I don't want to become mentally and physically exhausted. By the way, what major events have happened in these past seven years?"

“The Kingdom of Fiore has been holding a Grand Magic Games every year for the past few years, and our guild has won first place every year. Fortunately, the prize money is very high, otherwise, I feel that I really can’t hold on any longer. You don’t know, in the seven years you’ve been gone, the things they’ve destroyed have become more and more outrageous.”

"It seems like I can guess."

"So, how long until this year's Grand Magic Games? I'm going to join in the fun."

"What a coincidence, if you come tomorrow, we will have already set off."

"Leaving tonight?"

"No, it will arrive tonight, and will begin the day after tomorrow."

The capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, also known as the City of Flowers.

"Hoshino-nii, can we go for a walk together?"

Wendy, you've grown up.

Seven years have passed, and little Wendy has grown into a young woman. "Hehe, Hoshino-nii-san finally doesn't treat me like a child anymore."

"You used to be a child."

"Love, I feel like there's something wrong with them!"

"Juvia has turned into a hobby!"

Lucy and Juvia's back-and-forth banter made the others look at Hinata Hoshino and Wendy with some suspicion as they left.

Wendy looked at the night sky, which was covered with clouds and where the stars were not visible. "Brother Hoshino, how wonderful it would be if we could see the stars."

Hinata Hoshino smiled, fulfilling a small wish, and waved. The clouds dispersed, revealing a flawless moon and twinkling stars.

After walking around for an hour, as it grew darker, Hinata Hoshino picked up Wendy and said, "We should go back now."

"Ah."

"Boom."

The entire Flower Capital began to transform. "Pumpkin, Pumpkin, I am still the host of this year's Grand Magic Games. I will announce the competition rules. Since there are a total of 113 guilds participating in the Grand Magic Games this year, there will be a preliminary round to select eight teams to participate in the subsequent events."

You should see the arena in the air, the Giant Egg Flamingo. There are no rules; just get there. The first eight teams to arrive will advance. Alright, let's begin! Pumpkin.

The Fairy Tail team members are: Natsu, Gray, Erza, Mira, Hinata Hoshino, and Wendy. The others are just there to watch the fun and cheer on the team.

"Hoshino, Wendy!"

"Erza, how about we take a shortcut?"

"How to go?"

"Look closely, the venue is right across from us."

Hinata Hoshino pointed, and a portal appeared, allowing the group to pass through directly to the venue.

"Pumpkin, that's fast! The first team to clear the level has appeared, it's Fairy Tail."

The selection process quickly concluded, with eight guild teams advancing to the next round. The rankings are as follows.

First place: Fairy Tail - 10 points

Second place: Sabertooth Tiger - 8 points

Third place: Crow's Tail - 6 points

Fourth place: The Sin of the Witch - 4 points

Fifth place: Snake Princess Scale - 3 points

Sixth place: Blue Pegasus – 2 points

The seventh "mermaid's heel" - 1 points

Eighth place, four-headed hounds – 0 point

"Pumpkin, today's qualifiers are over. Tomorrow is the official match."

Ul, along with Ultear and Melty, found Hyuga Hoshino. "It's been a long time, Hoshino. Gray and Tia have really been taken care of by you."

Hinata Hoshino sized up Ultear. Seven years had passed, and Ultear had shed her youthful naiveté and acquired a more mature, womanly air. Especially when she was holding Melty, she gave off a distinctly daughter-like vibe.

"There are only three of you. What made you decide to participate in the Grand Magic Games?"

"Because Tia received news that Raven's Tail and Sabertooth might be detrimental to Fairy Tail, we came to see if there's anything we can do to help."

"I see, then thank you very much, Uru."

Uru brushed a stray hair behind his ear. "You're welcome."
