The rain poured down, and suddenly a huge hole tore open in the sky. A beam of white light fell on the land once again, and the Fairy Tail buildings that had disappeared reappeared in their original places.

However, the Fairy Tail members didn't receive such treatment; they all fell from the sky. Fortunately, a large group of flying cats helped them, preventing them from falling too badly.

We're back!

With his feet firmly on the ground, Natsu looked at the intact guild in front of him and jumped up and down with Happy, looking very excited.

"That's great! I was worried that the newly expanded guild would break down."

"Why can buildings be teleported back to their original location, while we have to fall from the sky?"

"There's no need to know so much about magic."

"I wonder if there will ever be another chance to meet the other us."

"......"

The members couldn't hide their excitement and started discussing it animatedly.

Although the trip only took about two days, the experience in Edras made everyone feel as if they had been away for a long time.

After all... this involves traveling through different worlds.

But amidst this joyful atmosphere, Xia Lulu wore a sour cat face, her gaze fixed intently on the Transcendent beings who were cheering because of the world's abundant magic, especially a slender white cat.

Wendy came to the little white cat's side. "Charlu, don't be angry. The misunderstanding has been cleared up, hasn't it?"

“Oh, Wendy is right. And with the destruction of Extania, they are homeless. Our world is much bigger than Edolas, so let them stay.”

Happy and Wendy comforted Charlotte, one on each side.

The little white cat proudly raised its head, "Then let's leave it like this, so people won't say I'm stingy."

Previously, due to Mystogan's description, everyone had a bad impression of Edolas's transcendents, but after actually getting to know them, they found that most of these magical cats were actually quite naive.

It turns out that the reason why the Transcendent race felt superior was entirely due to the deliberate actions of the Transcendent Queen and many elders and ministers.

The reason for this was that the Queen of the Beyond, through her unreliable precognitive abilities, foresaw the future destruction and fall of Extania.

In the eyes of the Transcendental leadership at the time, only the human kingdom could cause Extania to fall. That's why they kept instilling the theory of Transcendental supremacy in the cats and forbade bringing humans into the Transcendental kingdom to avoid exposing the truth that although the Transcendental race possessed magic, they were actually very weak.

Although this deceived the cats who were unaware of the truth, the higher-ups of the Exosphere knew that one day the destruction of Extania would come, and it was only a matter of time.

So they secretly devised a plan to ensure the continuation of their race, allowing the children who represented the future to escape Edolas.

To keep the plan secret, the higher-ups of the Beyonders fabricated a lie, claiming that it was to eliminate the Dragon Slayer Mages from another world.

They forcibly took all the unhatched newborn Transcendent eggs away from their parents and secretly sent them to Aslant through the "Anima" activated by humans.

This includes Happy and Charlotte.

Xia Lulu is the child of the Queen of the Transcendent.

It inherited its mother's half-baked precognitive ability. When it was still an egg, the precognitive ability was activated unexpectedly, and it saw the scene of the Queen of the Beyond announcing the plan to eliminate the Dragon Slayers.

Unaware of the truth, Xia Lulu mistakenly believed that this was her mission, and her heart was constantly conflicted.

The reason it didn't give Harby a friendly look was because it envied Harby for being happy every day and not having to suffer like it did.

While in the capital of Edolas, Wendy was rescuing her companions who had been turned into magic crystals, they unexpectedly freed the imprisoned Beyonders.

From the Queen of the Beyonder's confession, Xia Lulu realized that there was no such thing as a mission at all; it was all because of her misunderstanding of precognitive abilities.

However, this half-baked skill still has some use.

After all, regardless of the reasons, Extania was truly destroyed.

The Queen of the Beyonders led her people to this world, not only because they were homeless in Edolas, but also because she wanted to find the children who had been transported to Aslant.

Makarov used his connections to find a secluded forest nearby for the Beyonders to live in, which was actually the same forest where Polyusika had gone into seclusion.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, the Transcendents headed to their new home.

Only one black cat with round ears remained. It was Rili, who was the same size as the other magical cats, because its true size could not adapt to Aslant.

After being relentlessly pleaded with by Gajeel, Riki finally agreed to become his cat companion.

This made Gajeel extremely happy; he was finally a Dragon Slayer Mage with a cat.

"Hey! Fire Dragon! Kid! And Erza!"

"Let your cats and my Rili have a showdown!"

Gajeel's suggestion was immediately met with Natsu's approval; he never refused a fight.

"Don't blame me for not telling you, my Rikiri is truly the strongest!"

"Harpy is a real cat, you bastard!"

Natsu and Gajeel looked like they were about to fight, while Happy was already about to surrender.

Wendy also looked helpless. Lili was a proper general in Edolas, and his strength and status were comparable to Erza in that world.

Making Happy and Charlu fight against each other is asking too much of a cat...

"Speaking of which, Erza doesn't have a cat, so why would that idiot with a brain full of iron bring her up?"

Hope leaned against the bar, watching the crowd suddenly erupt into a brawl in the hall. The cat fight hadn't even started, yet these people had inexplicably broken out into a fight.

Mirajane smiled and pushed a glass of wheat juice towards him. "Maybe it's because you also have 'wing' magic that Gajeel thinks you're Erza's cat."

"They really can't tell the difference between humans and cats."

Hope turned to Mirajane, "Where's your sister?"

"Ah, Lisanna and Elfman went home, saying she missed her bed."

Mirajane was overjoyed when she talked about her younger sister, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter. A black magic circle appeared behind her, and in the blink of an eye, the gentle Mirajane transformed into a cool and aloof older sister.

Unable to use magic due to the emotional trauma caused by Lisanna's passing, the former S-class mage "Demon Mira" has now returned because of Lisanna's return.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've really mingled with everyone. I really miss it..."

She slightly flexed her wrists, glanced at the chaotic guild hall, a smile playing on her lips, and then joined in the daily melee of Fairy Tail.

"Wow! It's Mirajane! She can use magic!"

"Oh no! Everyone, retreat quickly!"

"..."

Listening to the chaotic commotion in the hall, Hope silently took a sip of beer. The world is so beautiful, yet these people are so irritable. This isn't good, no...

boom!

While Hope was lost in thought, Natsu, who was flying towards her, hit her squarely, spilling beer all over her.

Hope fell silent, then grabbed Natsu and started spinning him around like a human windmill.

Being short-tempered is bad? What a load of rubbish!

Watch me slaughter you all!

Tornado destroys parking lot!

Chapter 196 New Cards

With the Edolas incident over, Fairy Tail returned to its less-than-peaceful days.

Hope arrived at the guild as usual that day.

The hall was nearly empty, only about a third of what it used to be.

Apart from a few familiar NPCs who were still sitting in their usual spots drinking and chatting, most of the familiar members went out to work after the harvest festival came to an end.

After all, we still have to make a living.

"Kana, are you drinking alone today?"

Hope swaggered down across from Kana at the table, looked around, and said, “It’s strange, that drunkard didn’t bother you today.”

Cana waved her hand impatiently, "Don't mention Gildarts. If I had known he was so annoying, I wouldn't have said he was his daughter."

Since learning Cana's true identity, Gildarts has suddenly become a doting father, showering Cana with attention and care all day long.

At first, Cana was still immersed in the fatherly love she had once longed for, but after a few days she couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Gildarts out to continue his adventure.

"Fine, you're starting to complain now."

Hope chuckled. "I wonder who was it that cried buckets of tears while hugging Gildarts after the family reunion."

Kana scratched her face awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, it seems that the young lady of our Heartfilia Consortium has gone bankrupt."

“I heard that Lucy brought Natsu and Happy back home yesterday, saying she wanted to buy back some things that her father had pawned.”

It's no secret that Lucy comes from the Heartfilia Foundation and is now part of the guild.

This conglomerate controls a large number of magical railways, making a fortune every day and becoming incredibly wealthy. As long as they don't do anything reckless, they can remain rich forever.

However, Lucy's father, who built the family business into a large and powerful conglomerate, was recently trapped in a large-scale investment, leading to a break in the capital chain.

In a series of chain reactions, Lucy's father was forced to sell the operating rights of the Magical Railway, and eventually even mortgaged his large mansion that occupied a hilltop.

This greatly worried Lucy. She rushed home the day she received the news. She had some money and was thinking of using it to redeem her mother's belongings and some important personal items.

Kana took a sip of her drink. "Sigh, Lucy is really unlucky to have such a father."

Hope nodded in agreement.

Lucy's relationship with her father was terrible, even extremely so. He forbade Lucy from having any contact with magic and kept her locked up at home alone since she was a child.

Fortunately, Lucy still has the emotional support left by her mother.

Lucy's father had previously entrusted the Phantom Lord to bring back his runaway daughter because he was on the verge of bankruptcy and was thinking of marrying Lucy to the son of a tycoon in exchange for financial support.

They're even capable of selling their own daughters; there's really no one else like them.

Fortunately, Fairy Tail eventually overwhelmed Phantom Lord, otherwise Lucy might have had to marry a complete stranger.

"Tsk, how come there are so many terrible fathers?"

"Hey, stop with the group attack! Macao is just a good father."

Hope stroked his chin. "I remember he went on a very difficult mission all by himself for his son Romeo."

Cana pouted, "Then he messed up on the last monster, and Natsu's team, who had found out about it, came to his rescue."
