Finally, when Yefried's clenched fist was almost stiff, her fingertips turned red and her palm turned white.

The fish took the bait!

The fishing rod shuddered.

"coming!"

Yefried was overjoyed, grabbed the fishing rod, and pulled it back sharply.

But at this moment.

"You bastard!"

The fight between Natsu and Gray began. Natsu kicked Gray away, and Gray punched Natsu away.

Gray, who had been kicked away, crashed into a tree.

Natsu, who was knocked away, crashed solidly into Yefrit's back.

"what--"

Yefried exclaimed in surprise.

'puff'

He plunged forward into the water.

The sudden fall into the water startled him. He thrashed around in the water for a while before remembering that he could swim.

Most importantly, he caught a fish!

He quickly stood up from the water, trying to grab the fishing rod.

But she saw Mirajane's eyes filled with helplessness mixed with sympathy.

Yefried looked down.

鱼竿

Gone.

He turned to look.

The fish splashed in the water and quickly disappeared, dragging the fishing rod with it.

"Natsu—Gray!!!"

Enraged, Yefried rushed ashore and began punching and kicking the two men.

Natsu and Gray knew they were in the wrong, after all, it wasn't easy for Yefrit to catch a fish. So they could only crouch and defend themselves, without retaliating.

"Alright, alright." Mirajane saw that Yefrit had vented for a while and was panting heavily, so she quickly grabbed a towel and came over, saying, "They didn't do it on purpose."

"What do you mean it wasn't intentional?!" Yefrit said angrily. "We came to the river to fish, not to fight!"

"What are you yelling about?" Laxus opened his eyes in annoyance, only to see Lisanna holding a pen and pressing it against his face.

The little girl, who had been trying to suppress a mischievous laugh, suddenly burst into an embarrassed laugh when Laxus noticed her.

Seeing that things were going badly, Happy quickly flew towards Erza.

"Lisanna!!!" Laxus touched his face, then looked at his hands, which were covered in colorful patterns.

"Sorry, Laxus!"

Lisanna dropped her pen, turned around, and ran swiftly into the forest.

"stop!"

Laxus got up and gave chase.

"."

Erza simply watched all of this with a smile, unlike in the guild where she would seriously try to bring everything back to normal or criticize anyone for what they shouldn't have done.

Everyone's smiling, aren't they?

Ignoring the furious Yefrit, Gray and Natsu glaring at each other after being hit in the head, Happy anxiously fearing Laxus's revenge, and Laxus gritting his teeth.

Forehead.

In short

She found it quite heartwarming.

After a while of commotion, Laxus returned, with Lisanna sitting on his shoulder, looking like she had just finished crying, and carrying a large horn in her hand.

"What's wrong, Lisanna?" Mirajane asked immediately.

"I encountered a monster, boohoo," Lisanna said pitifully.

She ran into the forest just now, but encountered a magical beast. Before she knew it, it had knocked her away.

Laxus, who had been unable to catch up, suddenly caught up and killed the monster with a single slap. To comfort Lisanna, he broke off its horn.

Erza looked at Yefrit, who had finally accepted reality. Mirajane pulled him to the riverbank, took out her fishing rod, baited the hook herself, and handed it to Yefrit.

Yefried used magic to change his clothes with a single click, then levitated the card and used hot air to dry his hair. He then eagerly swung his hook. Mirajane, seeing this, stood behind him and used her fingers to scrub his hair to dry it faster.

the other side.

Natsu and Gray, their faces bruised and swollen, sat down on either side of Yefrit, swinging their poles in unison.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling Erza's hair.

She smiled gently.

‘Kacha’

The scene in front of me suddenly shattered.

All that could be seen was flames.

Erza's body is being torn apart by magic.

At that moment, a conversation she had with Yefrit echoed in her mind, which happened shortly after Yefrit joined the guild.

"Yeflit, you really don't fit in with our guild's style."

"Have it?"

"Yes, you are very mature and haven't experienced much. Our guild hasn't given you anything either. I find it hard to understand why you like the guild so much."

"You'll understand in time, Erza. I'm no different from you. Besides, Gildarts said that most people who join guilds have a past they don't want to remember, and something they desperately crave. I have both. And the purpose of the guild is to protect and help such people. Now, what I hoped for has been realized in the guild."

"Is that so?" Erza didn't understand at the time.

But she nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Yefrit, I will protect all of this!"

“I believe you!” Yevlit smiled.

'Snapped'

Just as the longsword was about to slip from her hand, Erza suddenly grabbed it.

"I am--"

"Erza from Fairy Tail!"

"I--"

"We will protect all of this!"

Erza broke through Azuma's magic and, meeting the opponent's shocked gaze, slashed forward with her sword!

"How is this possible?!" Azuma was utterly incredulous. What had happened to this woman?!

Even at that level, how was it possible to break through his magic and break free!

He was already seriously injured!

It clearly has almost no magic left!

she was--

Why? !

Where did that power to wield the long sword come from?!

Azuma noticed Erza's eyes; that resolute gaze shook him to his core.

It's like a sun; no matter how weak it is, it can still dispel the darkness!

will

Is it really possible to achieve that level of sophistication?

"Conviction Slash!" Erza roared.

'poof'

A red shadow flashed, and blood splattered.

Erza crouched down behind Azuma.

Azuma's body swayed and then fell backward.

"call--"

Erza let out a sigh of relief. She slowly straightened up and whispered, "Yefrit, I know what you crave."

Yefried did not answer, as if he was not there and therefore had not heard.

But Erza believes this is the default.

Outside the first generation of tombs.

Yefrit looked at Miko with a bewildered expression and asked, "What does she know?"

“…” Miko tilted her head slightly and said, “Want… a hug?”

After she finished speaking, she opened her arms.

"..." Yefrit ignored Miko. He sensed that Erza had some misunderstanding about him, but he was too lazy to ask.

'Swish'

Erza sheathed her sword and changed back into her usual attire.
