"Fallen down again. Was it that guy who did it?"

"Why does Mistgang always do this?"

"That bastard! He made me accidentally knock over the building blocks I'd been working on for two days!"

"..."

Hope casually restored the wall that had been damaged by lightning, and when he turned around, he saw Erza and Mirajane staring straight at him.

Mirajane looked at the restored wall. "Is that Laxus?"

Erza's voice immediately turned serious, "He's made a move in the guild again?"

Hope nodded, looking up at the empty second-floor corridor. While Mistrogon was known for his introverted nature, he felt Laxus's personality was no less problematic.

Of the guild's five S-rank mages, Hope has already met four: a rebellious one, a scheming one, an overly strict one, and one who has a secret...

Each one has its own little flaws.

Hope is now very curious about what kind of special weakness Gildarts, the last S-class mage of the guild and known as "the strongest in Fairy Tail," might have.

After handing the register back to Mirajane, Hope turned to Erza and said, "Before you fell asleep under the hypnotic spell, it seemed like you had something to say to me?"

Erza instinctively looked at the invitation ticket lying on the ground.

After being interrupted by Mistgang, the words she had prepared in her mind suddenly became difficult to utter.

Actually, what I wanted to say was...

Erza said softly, "Let's wait and go on vacation to the beach with Natsu, Lucy and the others."

Hope nodded; he was free to go out whenever he wanted.

"Oh, right, I invited Dolanbart out."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to turn back into Mester tonight. Remember to call the president."

Chapter 93 Taking Down Mester

Nighttime, the edge of a rooftop terrace somewhere in Magnolia.

A figure was looking up at the moonlight when he heard footsteps behind him. Doranbart turned to look at the person approaching.

"You've arrived."

"I am coming."

"You did come after all."

"I did come after all."

"You didn't have to come."

"...I'll leave right away."

"You can't go!"

Hope's unconventional delivery of lines instantly shattered Dolanbart's composure, causing the carefully cultivated sense of authority to vanish without a trace.

Reaching the edge of the rooftop, Hope felt the evening breeze and chuckled, "You undercover agents are really interesting; you always like to meet on the rooftop."

Doranbart glared at Hope with displeasure. "I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense. Do you even remember who you are? Why are you helping Fairy Tail!"

Hope sighed. "Sir, give me a chance. I didn't have a choice before, but now I just want to be a Fairy Tail mage."

"Okay."

Dolanbart's expression turned icy, and he pressed a dagger against Hope's back. "Go and talk to the council's internal court and see if the judges agree."

Hope's expression changed. "That means I have to go to jail."

Dolanbart's gaze remained unwavering. "I am different from you. I am wholeheartedly devoted to the council."

Hope suddenly sneered, "Who knows?"

As a seasoned agent, Dolan Bart instinctively felt something was wrong with the attitude of the person in front of him, and his past experience told him that he had to take down Hope immediately.

The dagger plunged into his body, not in a vital spot, but enough for Doran Bart to subdue Hope.

However, the sensation from the dagger caused Doranbart's expression to change drastically, and the "Hope" in front of him instantly transformed into a large patch of frost-covered vines that climbed up his body.

In just a breath or two, the frost vines solidified into a heavy, imposing chain, connecting to the ground and locking him firmly in place.

Numerous sharp thorns extended from the chains, pressing against various parts and joints of Dolanbart's body. Even the slightest movement would cause those thorns to pierce his skin, bringing the cold into his bloodstream.

In this situation, 'teleportation' is completely unusable.

You were careless; this was a carefully crafted trap set for you!

Dolanbart said that it was no wonder Hope would ask him out, ostensibly to apologize, but actually to get back at him.

After all, among the council members, the only one who knew Hope's true identity was himself, the one who had crossed out his identity record.

This is truly a case of shooting oneself in the foot.

"Yo~"

"Isn't that Doranbart? Why aren't you moving?"

Just as Dolanbart was regretting his actions, Hope reappeared with a smug voice, but this time he wasn't alone.

Looking at the short old man and red-haired girl beside Hope, Doranbart felt a sense of foreboding, but he still spoke toughly, "President Makarov, I am the vice-captain of the Fourth Supervisory Force of the Council!"

"Don't expect to get anything from me!"

Looking at Doranbalt, who was ready to die, Makarov's expression was strange and somewhat helpless, and even the usually serious Erza couldn't help but chuckle.

Hope couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?! Traitor!"

Dolanbart glared fiercely at Hope; if looks could kill, he would have killed Hope a hundred times over.

Hope patted Dolanbart on the shoulder, the barbed chains on his body making him wince. "I hope you can still be this tough, sir."

"Enough, you little brat, get out of my way." Makarov stretched out his arm and slapped Hope aside, then placed his palm on Doranbart's head.

Doranbart felt a powerful external magical force rushing down to the top of his head, and then he vaguely felt something loosening in his mind.

Memories I'd never had before suddenly surfaced in my mind.

It was a tavern-like building, and the scene showed him and his companions laughing happily together, with countless fragments of growth and adventure constantly appearing...

In most of the scenes, there is a flying fairy pattern, sometimes on a person, sometimes on a flag, and sometimes on oneself.

Doranbart's eyes widened as he watched the guild emblem slowly emerge and become complete on his right shoulder; he finally remembered.

It turns out my true identity is Maester.

He's a Fairy Tail mage!

"hiss--"

Thinking back to her loyal speech to the council, Meester gasped, unable to hide her embarrassment, and could only try to put on a polite but elegant smile.

However, that smile was even uglier than a cry.

"Yes, President... um... I... haha..."

Seeing Mester's awkward laugh, Makarov also wanted to laugh, but his elder's restraint made him control himself. "Hope, undo your magic."

Hope snapped his fingers, and the thorny chains binding Mester instantly turned into specks of light and dissipated. He also joked, "Oh, isn't this the vice-captain of the Fourth Supervisory Force of the Council? I still prefer your unruly appearance from earlier. Please restore yourself."

Don't bring up things you don't want to talk about!

Mester roared inwardly. He truly hadn't expected that his undercover work would lead him into such a mess. Having learned this humiliating lesson, he vowed never to tamper with his memories again...

That's really embarrassing.

With Mester regaining her memories, the last loophole in Hope's identity was resolved, and now he can finally be a Fairy Tail mage without any worries.

Makarov talked with Meester for a while, trying to get him to find an opportunity to leave the council, but Meester planned to continue infiltrating the council to gather intelligence for him.

Having our own people on the council makes me feel much more at ease.

Hope had Meester copy his 'teleportation' and 'memory' spells, and then asked him to help her get some magic crystals from the council.

Although she could easily approve a large number of magic crystals with her current status, Mester couldn't help but ask, "What do you need so many magic crystals for?"

"Practicing magic."

Hope answered decisively, just as he had said to Makarov before: pure magic is required to cultivate copied magic.

Mester didn't ask any further questions, after all, some powerful magic comes with all sorts of limitations, and she promised Hope that she would send him 1000 magic crystals in the next few days.

Hope shook her head. "It won't work these next few days. Erza, Natsu, Lucy, and I are going on a beach vacation. Loki gave us some vouchers for a resort hotel."

"What?!!"

Mester didn't feel anything, but Makarov jumped up.

The sea, the beach...

This... this means there are a lot of young ladies dressed in revealing outfits!

Chapter 94 The Fairy's Holiday

"Upon hearing that there would be many beautiful women to see, the lecherous old man secretly returned to the guild that very night, intending to use the guild's funds to buy tickets to the resort hotel."

"Then... he and Kana were caught red-handed by Mirajane, who came to catch the drunkard."

"To shut Mirajane and Kana up, the old man had no choice but to invite them on vacation as well. Of course, the money still went through the guild's accounts, since he and Mirajane were in charge of the accounts."

That's how it is.

Outside the gates of Akani Resort, the most popular seaside resort in the Kingdom of Fiore, Hope, who was queuing to have his ticket checked, continued to explain to Lucy in a low voice.

"Actually, the guild leader has been using all his pension money to subsidize the guild over the years, so there's nothing wrong with him spending some of the guild's money."

Although it made sense, Lucy's smile was forced. She glanced at the long line of companions behind her, including Gray, Juvia, Gajeel, and Levy.

"So... what's the deal with those guys?"

Hope shrugged; he didn't know either.
