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

Ron's sudden remark stunned Mirajane.

I don't know why.

Looking into Ron's calm eyes, the fear in my heart suddenly lessened considerably.

Mirajane lowered her head, letting her loose hair cover her tear-streaked eyes.

Her left hand pressed down on the white divine robe on her right shoulder to prevent the robe from falling off and exposing the demon's hand to the moonlight.

"I... I can only trust you right now."

She tried to suppress her sobs and closed her eyes tightly, but her body wouldn't obey her commands; her shoulders still trembled slightly instinctively.

"Come with me."

Mirajane sniffed and followed Ron to the vicinity of the demon's true form.

Following Ron's instructions, she lay down on the other side of the demon's true form and closed her eyes.

"Just be patient, it will be over soon."

After speaking gently, Ron quickly formed a hand seal in front of his chest.

As Ron finished his hand seals, he clasped his hands together, and suddenly a huge, eerie white magic circle lit up behind him, exuding an ominous aura.

【Sealing Magic: Corpse Demon Seal】

A phantom emerged from the pale white magic circle; it was a grim reaper with a dagger in its mouth.

Ron calmly gazed at the phantom of Death behind him, visible only to him, without the slightest fear.

Because of the system's localization, he was able to use this move without sacrificing his own soul.

Moreover, he had already decided on his choice after the settlement, so it would be a waste not to use this trick. He should use it to help those in need.

Ron focused his attention on the Grim Reaper's true form and the demonic power in Mirajane's right arm.

Death's ghostly hand instantly extended, passing through Mirajane's right hand, then piercing through the demon's body, and finally grasping two restless, dark red wisps of magic, arriving before Ron.

Mirajane's divine robe on her right shoulder also fell to the side of the demon's right hand due to the fluctuation.

Mirajah, with her eyes tightly closed, frowned. Unable to see, she only felt her right hand suddenly weaken and ache.

Ron placed his hands together, palms facing the two constantly circulating balls of magic, preparing to seal them within Mirajane's body.

During the sealing period, Ron felt his magic power constantly draining away as he struggled against the two dark red blobs of magic power before him.

The two magical forces gradually merged, and the ever-growing dark red magic constantly resisted Ron.

Ron broke out in a cold sweat, a rare occurrence for him. He slowly pressed down the mixed, frenzied magic with both hands, gradually drawing it closer to Mirajane.

In the end, Ron prevailed, forcibly sealing the magic power by channeling it into Mirajane's body.

Ron removed his hands from Mirajane's abdomen, and finally a magic circle the size of a palm appeared on Mirajane's belly, indicating that the magic had successfully merged into Mirajane's body.

After completing the seal, Ron breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"It's alright now, open your eyes."

Mirajane nervously opened her eyes slowly, her gaze instinctively falling on her right hand.

Then she froze.

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 dissipating into the world.

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

Mirajah'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 his right hand in disbelief, his 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 noisy 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 shrinking as he looked towards the gate. There he saw the old priest who had run away leading dozens of residents, charging towards them menacingly.

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

"What's wrong?"

Mirajane doesn't have the five senses and perception abilities like Ron, so she can't understand what happened when she sees Ron acting like this.

It wasn't until he saw several balls of fire gradually becoming clearer in the air outside the church that Mirajane felt a bad premonition.

"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 remain in the village!"

"This 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 indentation in the load-bearing wall and found nothing else.

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

Where are they?

……

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 small 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 they were 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 Mirajane's arms.

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

Elfman collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

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

Seeing the worried faces on her younger siblings' faces, Mirajane's 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.
