"Congratulations, Lucy, the spell has been lifted."

Many people came to offer their congratulations.

"thank you all."

While Lucy was surrounded by the crowd, Natsu secretly found Yefrit.

When Lucy turned around, she saw Natsu take something from Yefrit's hand.

“Natsu, what are you doing?” Lucy asked.

"Let's go see a movie, Lucy." Natsu pulled out two movie tickets, a bright smile on his face.

"Huh?!" Lucy immediately covered her mouth.

"But you seemed quite hesitant before."

Elfman had previously asked Natsu to accommodate Lucy's hobbies, but he remained silent, which made Lucy feel somewhat sad.

Hearing Lucy's words, Natsu asked in confusion, "Hesitant?" He thought for a moment and then said, "Ah, no, I was just thinking about what Lucy likes."

"Hiss—" Gray gasped. Could Natsu's moves really be this flashy?!

Lucy was overjoyed and looked at everyone, all with smiles on their faces, especially the girls, who were full of encouragement.

"Thank you." Lucy smiled and accepted the ticket.

"Let's go!" Natsu grabbed Lucy and ran out the door.

"Natsu, wait for me!" Happy tried to catch up.

“Harby,” Yefrit called out to him, “you don’t have a ticket, what are you doing following along?”

"..." Habib remained silent.

“I’m planning to go fishing tomorrow,” Yefrit said quietly. “I want to hold a fishing competition. Natsu said he’ll do his best. Happy, do you want to participate?”

"Go!" Habby shouted.

“Oh dear,” Yefrit said, pointing to the ground, “there are two movie tickets over there?”

Happy quickly picked it up and flew towards Charlotte.

"Xia Lulu that one"

"I'm busy!" Charlotte said haughtily. "I still have to do some work with Wendy to pay the rent."

Everyone returned after seven years, and the rent was long overdue.

Wendy's wallet emptied instantly, and she was now heavily in debt.

"This..." Habby was about to be disappointed.

"I'm sorry, Xia Lulu." Lisanna quickly grabbed Wendy and said, "Wendy and I have already made plans to do a quest together, so it's inconvenient to bring you along."

Xia Lulu: "."

"Xia Lulu" Habi had teary eyes.

"Well," Xia Lulu turned her head, took the movie ticket without even looking at it, and said, "Then I'll reluctantly accept it!"

“But—” Gray said at that moment, “It’s a bit strange for two cats to go to the movies.”

"Hmph, don't underestimate me, Gray!" Happy suddenly exclaimed with confidence.

"You think I've just been playing around these past few days?!"

"Look at me!"

'Whoosh'

A flame suddenly rose up.

Then a handsome blue-haired man with cat ears appeared. He was wearing the same suit as Yefried, but he was carrying a small bag on his back, which looked quite mismatched.

"Harpy?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Hmph." Happy snorted smugly, "If we don't fight, this state can last for several hours!"

"."

Xia Lulu silently transformed.

She and Habib looked surprisingly well-matched standing together.

"Let's go, Xia Lulu." Happy glanced at everyone smugly, especially at Lili, and then left with Xia Lulu.

Chapter 228, go home

Early in the morning, Yefrit was packing her things.

"Mr. Yefried, are you going on a long trip?" the dove asked in confusion.

"Yes, I'll go home for a bit."

The turtledove paused for a moment, then said, "Was that your old home? Your parents?"

“Yes, it’s been seven years since I left. I have to go back and see what’s going on,” Yefrit said.

"Do you want me to come along?" the turtledove asked hopefully.

"Go if you want to," Yefrit said, having no objections.

result.

soon.

"I'm going to sweep my father's grave, what are you all doing following me?" Yefrit asked, looking at the shop which was almost full of people.

Emily, Turtle, Urudia, Melty, Mirajane, Alice.

Tiffany wasn't there; she'd gone back to her guild.

“Oh? But I’ve never been to Master’s hometown,” Emily said.

“Okay.” Yevli nodded in approval.

The turtledove remained silent, for Yefried had already agreed to let her go.

"Would it be a hassle to take me along?" Mirajane countered.

“No.” Yefrit shook her head.

“I was bored, so I decided to go on a trip,” Urutia said.

“That works too.” Yefrit nodded again.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you know my desires?" Alice said. "If I need an excuse, I'm also named Valier, so going back to the Valiers' house wouldn't be strange, would it?"

"Never mind, one more of you won't make a difference."

Yefrit said, "However, my train tickets are for a train that's leaving very soon. Will you have time to pack?"

"Meet at Magnolia Station in one hour," Mirajane said directly.

"Oh—" Everyone immediately dispersed to pack their luggage.

An hour and a half later.

The train slowly pulled away from the station.

Emily sat down next to Milalett, took off her pretty sandals, and placed her two little feet on Milalett's back, who was lying under the seat, and rubbed them back and forth.

Emily placed her elbows on Yefrit's shoulders, a position that was clearly somewhat strenuous, yet she maintained it nonetheless.

Then she asked, "By the way, I don't know much about Master's childhood."

Mirajane on the other side of Yefrit, Ikaruga and Ultear opposite her were all drawn to this question. Melty and Alice behind Yefrit also got up, the two women kneeling on the chair and leaning on the back of Yefrit's chair.

Melty was facing Yefrit, so she reached out her little hand, somewhat bored, and gently stroked Yefrit's hair.

Yevlit laughed and said, "I didn't have much to say about my childhood."

Indeed not.

The Valière family had fallen on hard times, and by the time of the father, Francis, they had nothing left but the title; they no longer owned any land or ancestral home.

However, the royal family of the Kingdom of Fiore is not bad to the hereditary nobles. Generally speaking, a royal family that does not cause trouble will not treat the hereditary nobles too badly, because if something really happens, only the hereditary nobles will be on their side.

So at least every year there are still basic living security measures such as money and material benefits that can be received.

They weren't rich, but they weren't starving either; at most, they just didn't eat very well.

In addition to this, Francessie also has her own legitimate profession—a street magician. She doesn't earn much, just enough to make ends meet. She has never participated in any large-scale performances, so she's not very famous; only the locals know that there's an old man who's quite good at magic.

Actually, he was afraid of being exposed, because although Francis didn't rely on deceptive magic as much as Yefrit, he did use some magic to impersonate magic.

If he were to perform on a large stage, his talent would surely be exposed.

In short—all things considered, their lives are actually a little better than those of ordinary people.

Franceschi was also remarkably kind; he even believed that if commoners were to starve, the responsibility lay with the nobles. Although he didn't own any land—counting back through the Valière family—there were still some eccentric characters among them, and quite a few were avid gamblers.

But because of her kind heart, she often couldn't help but give away money or help others—even though she didn't receive anything in return. Frances didn't care. She said, "Why should I give someone a meal hoping they'll give me a golden bowl in the future? As long as I have a clear conscience, that's enough."

Finally, there's the option of raising a money-devouring beast.

Even if Yefritte had very low requirements in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, she still needed to go to school and buy books to learn knowledge.

Then Yevlitte read books very quickly; the gifted child absorbed knowledge like a super-high-quality sponge.

And so he grew up, his life too ordinary, without any memorable moments.

After recounting her childhood experiences, Yefried concluded, "I had a tough childhood, so why can't I enjoy life now that I'm grown up?!"

The women all fell silent upon hearing this.

You're complaining about this?

Gan.

Even if they really liked this man, they still wanted to punch him!

Although we can't be considered rich, we have food and shelter, and we can eat our fill and stay warm. My father is a very good person, so what more could I ask for!

“Well—” Yefrit laughed, “Don’t dwell on the past.”
