Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious?

She was stunned.

The dark red scales on her demonic arm were visibly fading away, floating into the air one by one before turning into black mist and disappearing into the world.

She looked at the humanoid demon's true form, which turned into black mist and eventually disappeared.

Mirajane's right arm had returned to its original fair and slender appearance, with no trace of the demon left behind.

"It's back to normal?!"

Mirajane touched her right hand in disbelief, her face filled with intense emotion.

After the excitement subsided, he noticed the magic circle engraved on her abdomen and stroked her belly.

Mirajane looked up at Ron with a questioning gaze, hoping to get an answer.

Just as Ron was about to explain everything to Mirajane, he suddenly frowned and heard a cacophony of footsteps outside the church.

His ears twitched slightly as he heard a shout, which sounded like the old priest's voice.

"Hurry everyone! It's inside the church!"

He turned his head, his pupils slightly constricted, and looked towards the gate. There he saw the old priest who had run away leading dozens of residents, charging towards them with imposing momentum.

The residents, carrying various farm tools and torches, angrily marched toward the church.

"What's up?"

Mirajane doesn't have Ron's five senses and perception abilities, so she can't understand what's happening when she sees Ron's actions.

It wasn't until Mirajane saw several balls of fire gradually becoming clearer in the air outside the church doors that a bad premonition began to rise in her heart.

"There's no time to explain now, I'll take you away first."

When Ron saw the residents surging over, he quickly put his hand on Mirajane's shoulder and picked up the Divine Robe with his other hand.

call out!

The next second, the noisy residents finally arrived in front of the church.

"We absolutely cannot allow people possessed by demons to stay in the village!"

"Their family is cursed, drive them out!"

"Get out..."

The residents crowded into the church, but the scene before them left them dumbfounded and frozen in place.

The church was completely empty; there was no sign of the demon, and even Mirajane had vanished.

They only saw the human-shaped dent in the load-bearing wall and found nothing else.

The residents looked at each other in disbelief, even the old priest who was leading the group stared with horrified eyes.

"What about people?"

……

Meanwhile, in the open space where tents were pitched.

Elfman and Lisanna, their faces red from the cold, paced anxiously back and forth in the open space, puffs of white smoke constantly coming out of their mouths.

They remembered Ron's words and stayed in the little tent.

Suddenly, the magic circle carved on the ground lit up instantly.

call out!

Ron and Mirajane appeared before them without warning.

Ron and Mirajane remained in the same positions as in the church, teleporting over exactly as they had been.

"Huh?"

Mirajane then realized that her surroundings had suddenly changed and she was no longer in the church.

"elder sister!"

"Sister Mira!"

Upon seeing Mirajane safe and sound, Elfman and Lisanna finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed into her arms.

Their long-suppressed fears finally erupted, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

Elfman collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

Lisana, with tears in her eyes, smiled happily after confirming that her sister was alright.

When Mirajane saw her younger siblings' worried faces, her eyes unconsciously welled up with tears.

"I'm back."

She hugged her younger brother and sister-in-law, revealing a gentle smile, and tears streamed down her face again.

Ron, who was watching from the side, smiled with satisfaction.

Chapter 47 Disobedient, huh? Confiscated!

Crackling sound~

The dry firewood crackled, bringing warmth to the inn's rooms.

After Elfman and Lisanna finished eating, they lay on the bed and began to snore.

Exhausted from their fear, they fell asleep as soon as their nerves were soothed.

Mirajane looked at her sleeping siblings, gently draped the blankets over them, and smiled with satisfaction.

She then turned around and thanked Ron, who was sitting by the window.

"Ron, thank you."

She thanked Ron for everything he had done for her family.

Ron brought them to the hotel room to warm up and also thanked Ron for what he had done in the church.

"No need to thank me, you must be tired too, you should rest first."

Ron waved his hand, indicating that these were minor matters.

Mirajane shook her head upon hearing Ron's words, the worry still lingering on her face.

"It's time for me to go back. The residents will probably all be lingering around my house."

They probably won't give up until they find me.

Mirajane knew she couldn't just rely on a kind passerby; she couldn't just run away from this situation.

Despite her thoughts, her clenched fists still trembled slightly with fear.

Ron pondered for a moment after hearing this. Despite her strong demeanor, she was still just a child.

He couldn't just leave her like this, so he stood up.

“You’re right, they will definitely keep bothering you. I’ll go with you.”

Mirajane's eyes widened in surprise when she heard Ron's suggestion to go with her, and her mouth opened slightly.

Why?

She had thought that Ron had already done more than enough by providing them with a place to stay temporarily and helping to solve the problem with the demon arm.

"You're clearly just a passerby, yet you not only saved my life but also want to come with me to find those residents. Doesn't that do you any good?"

"Do we have to consider the benefits when doing good deeds?"

When Ron saw Mirajane staring at him with tired eyes and asking a question, he began to ask her questions in return.

"If that were the case, the world would be too boring, besides..."

Ron then laughed:

"As an eyewitness, I naturally have to go over and clear up the misunderstanding for you when there are many people around."

Mirajane was stunned after hearing Ron's words.

What misunderstanding? Did the priest really see my hand turn into a demon?

"Alright, stop standing there, let's go."

Ron turned and walked towards the door, leaving first.

Mirajane glanced one last time at her sleeping siblings before quickly catching up with Ron.

The two walked out of the warm hotel, one after the other.

A cold wind swept over them, taking away their initial warmth and making them more alert.

Ron followed his hearing and heard a commotion coming from a certain direction, so he walked towards it.

Mirajane then tried to lead the way, but found that Ron was heading in the right direction the whole time.

Ron left her speechless, so she could only silently follow him.

Before they could get very close, the bright light ahead caught their eye.

On the street near the wooden house, there were twenty or thirty residents standing densely packed together, each holding a torch and a farm tool.

The old priest stood at the very front of the crowd, his hands tightly gripping the cross.

The group kept their eyes fixed on that direction with wary looks, constantly shouting something.

Upon seeing this scene, Mirajane's steps froze instantly.

Fear flickered in her eyes, and she involuntarily shrank back, clutching her sleeve tightly.

No matter how strong she usually appears, she still feels fear and helplessness when faced with the collective rejection of the entire village.

Just then, a resident standing on the outermost edge of the crowd turned around and, by the light of the fire, saw two people standing not far away.

"It's her! The girl who was possessed by the demon has returned!"

All the residents holding torches turned around.

The old priest squinted and saw Ron and Mirajane standing behind him.

"That out-of-towner performing in the open space is actually protecting the devil!"

The priest shouted and then pointed the cross at Mirajane from a distance.

The residents took a few steps toward Ron and Mirajane, raising their pitchforks and shovels.

"Monster! Get out of our village!"

“If your cursed family doesn’t leave, the village will be cursed!”

"Get out, you devil!"

The residents shouted curses and insults at them, and raised their farm tools.

Ron sighed as he looked at the group of agitated civilians.

He took a step forward, blocking Mirajane behind him.

Ron reached into his bag and pulled out a magical megaphone, issuing a warning to the residents.

"Everyone, calm down. Actually, this is all a misunderstanding."

Upon hearing Ron's words, the residents shouted even louder and more energetically.

"Don't listen to this outsider!"

"These outsiders are in cahoots with the devil, get out!"

"Get out! You devil! Get out!"

The residents didn't give Ron a chance to explain. Their frantic shouts, all in unison, told them to get out, eventually drowning out Ron's voice.

Several burly men, their emotions running high, had already raised their shovels, ready to charge at Ron.

"If you ignore my warnings, don't blame me."

Ron put down the magic megaphone, shook his head, and thought, "This will of domination is truly powerful."

Ron then reached into his bag and summoned the Multiverse Item Library. He selected a C-grade item and extracted it, which appeared in his palm inside the bag.

With a pull, Ron pulled out something resembling a vacuum cleaner from the bag!
