A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

At this, Stinger's expression visibly became excited: "Rogue and I are both Dragon Slayer Mages!! I use light-attribute Dragon Slayer Magic; Rogue uses dark-attribute Dragon Slayer Magic!"

"Eh?! Another Dragon Slayer Magic?!"

A collective gasp rippled through the guild: "Incredible... It's unbelievable that so many Dragon Slayer Mages have gathered here this year! It's like fate!!"

"Yeah, yeah... I'm afraid Acnologia will come knocking on our door."

"Idiot! Don't say such terrifying things on a day like this!!"

"Dragon-slaying magic... No wonder I felt their magic was so special. Is your dragon-slaying magic also from the Dragon Cult?"

Sting was overjoyed to hear that no one questioned his and Rogue's magic or the existence of dragons. He thought to himself, "As expected of Fairy Tail, it's different from other guilds."

"Yes! The white dragon's name is Perslokia!"

"Where is Shadow Dragon?"

Roger replied calmly, "Skiadora."

"So he's a Dragon Slayer Mage like Natsu and the others..."

Natsu quickly pressed on, "And how's the dragon who taught you magic?"

"He's already dead!"

"They really disappeared... Wait?? Dead?! How is that possible?! How did they die?"

Why is it impossible?

Stinger and Roger blinked, puzzled, and could only tell the truth: "Perslogia died of old age and illness."

"Skiadora died after his illness became terminal."

The two intentionally concealed the fact that they had killed the animals at their father's request, because their intuition told them that revealing it would not be a good thing.

Kira knew, however, that their memories were also false, fabricated by the dragon that had taught them, implanting these two brats with false memories; there was no past of 'killing the dragon' at all.

Stinger and Rogue's personalities are quite different now compared to when they first appeared in the original work. Kira knows the reason for this, which is simply that they were not poisoned by that chairman in Saberbite.

Because the main force of Fairy Tail is not sealed on Tenrou Island, but is instead becoming more and more secure in their position as the Fiore First Magic Guild, the plot has deviated—at this point, Germain, the guild master of Sabertooth, has not yet poached Stinger and Rogue, or has not even discovered their existence!

Sting and Rogue, admiring Natsu and Gajeel, chose Fairy Tail because it was stronger, had a better reputation, and a brighter future.

Correspondingly, without Germain implanting Dragon Slayer Crystals into Stinger and Rogue, they would now be true first-generation Dragon Slayer Mages, and their future strength would differ from that in the original work.

As two of the first generation of Dragon Slayer Mages who traveled from another world, there's no reason why only Stinger and Rogue were implanted with Dragon Slayer Crystals. It's only possible that they were implanted after they traveled from another world. And the person who carried out this operation is the current chairman of Saberbite Tiger, the brute who was killed by Stinger in one move in the original work.

This is also why he was able to bring Stinger and Rogue into the guild.

Compared to the original timeline, it's hard to say whether these two will become stronger or weaker in the future. After all, although they now lack the Dragon Slayer Crystal, they have gained the 'Fairy Tail' power-up!

Furthermore, having a Dragon Slayer Crystal inside one's body doesn't necessarily mean being stronger; otherwise, Laxus wouldn't have planned to dig out the crystal.

"Died from a serious illness??"

Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy were all stunned, staring at each other with wide eyes.

Just a second ago, they even wondered if Acnologia had killed them, but the illness was too severe…

Can dragons get sick?

In the memories of the three, neither Igneru, Medalicana, nor Grandine seemed to have ever been sick; the dragon's body was stronger than anyone could have imagined.

That being said, they had only ever seen their own parents as dragons, and had never seen them when they were old, so they dared not speak too definitively.

After all, people get sick when they get old, so it's not surprising that dragons get sick when they get old.

Furthermore, it's common for dragons to fight each other occasionally, leaving injuries. You should know that injuries inflicted by one dragon on another cannot be healed.

"That's right! He died of illness!"

Having received a positive answer, Natsu and the others stopped worrying, only regretting that they had once again lost news about the dragon.

Kira listened in the whole time, but was too lazy to explain to them. Anyway, there was no crisis in Acnologia for the time being, so the dragons could stay peacefully in Natsu and the others' bodies. They wouldn't cause them any harm, and could even inhibit the growth of the dragon seeds.

Even if we tell them, it won't make a difference, because Igneel and the others are hiding because they're trying to deal with Acnologia. Even if Natsu and the others find out, they won't come out.

The five original Dragon Slayers had spent some time together in their childhood, but due to time travel, they lost their mental memories, while their physical memories remained. This is why Natsu and Wendy felt a sense of déjà vu when they met again.

Based on this, and knowing that they were all taught dragon-slaying magic by dragons, the group quickly became acquainted.

Since Stinger and Rogue already admired Natsu and Gajeel, it wasn't long before they were following them around like lackeys.

"Natsu-san is already an S-class mage, but Gajeel-san isn't yet, so Natsu-san is definitely stronger!"

"Hahaha!! That's right!! Stinger, you've got a good eye!"

"No, no, no... To judge a person's strength, you have to look at it comprehensively. Gajeelsan is obviously smarter than Nazsan, and their actual strength is about the same, so overall, Gajeelsan is stronger!"

"Kiki!! Well said, Rogue!! That Fire Dragon is an idiot. Anyone with a brain could easily outsmart him. He's nowhere near as good as me!"

"What did you say?!"

"You're not convinced?!"

"Then let's have a fight and see!"

"Right on my mind!"

*Thud thud thud...*

"Nazsan can finish this battle in ten minutes!!"

"No, Gajerusan only needs five minutes!!"

"Nazsan is stronger!!"

"No, Gajeelsan is stronger!!"

The four Dragon Slayer Mages split into two teams, each arguing amongst themselves, and soon they were fighting amongst themselves. A group of drunkards and gamblers in the guild immediately got interested, drinking and betting, treating their noise as entertainment, and watching with great interest.

Watching this scene, Kira quietly walked up to Gray: "Feeling empty, Gray? Natsu doesn't fight with you anymore! You were here first, but now Gajeel has taken your place..."

"Stop arguing! Who cares?!"

"It's alright, Lord Gray! Let Juvia soothe your empty heart!!"

"I don't feel empty at all!!"

"Ahhh!! Even the tsundere Lord Gray is so handsome!!"

With Gray tied up by Juvia, Kira quietly walked over to Wendy and said, "Feeling down, Wendy? You're one of the original Dragon Slayers, but none of the other four are including you!"

"Uh... well... I think..."

"Wendy would never be as rude as those idiots!!"

"It's just..."

Although Kira was quickly chased away by Charlene, Lucy, and the others, he was still not satisfied and soon moved in front of Suzaku: "Envious, aren't you, Suzaku? You were all taught magic by dragons, but you all have cats, and you don't..."

Suzaku, with her simple mind, gazed in Frosh's direction, her eyes filled with envy: "Definitely! I want a cute cat too..."

Several guild leaders from other guilds who had traveled a long way to celebrate the centennial celebration were captivated by the vibrant scene before them, and began to reminisce about the past.

"I really envy you, Makarov!"

"No matter how many years have passed, Fairy Tail hasn't changed. It still brings such a heartwarming feeling!"

"Hahaha... That's right! Whether it was back then or now, decades have passed, and even though we're not the same as we were back then, the theme of 'Fairy Tail' has never changed! Seeing them reminds me of the time I spent here many years ago, it feels like it happened just yesterday..."

"It's a bit of a shame that Perusia isn't here."

These people were old friends from back then. One was Rob, but he had been dead for many years and it was natural that he could not appear; the other was Perusia.

They knew that Perusica hated humans, and although they found it strange, it didn't stop them from treating her as family and companions.

However, no matter how much they disliked humans, they were still close comrades-in-arms who had formed a team together in the guild back in the day. They really didn't expect them to not come on such a special occasion as the centennial celebration.

"After all these years, hasn't Makarov sparked any romantic feelings with her?"

"They're still enemies, just like before..."

"Hahaha!!"

A few elderly people in their seventies and eighties are just as enthusiastic about gossiping as these seventeen or eighteen-year-olds in the guild!

Chapter 640 Zeref Comes Knocking

The centennial celebration lasted for a week, with countless banquets and non-stop revelry.

Stinger and Rogue's arrival was a major event on the first day, but for Fairy Tail, it was just a side event. The real celebration was for the beautiful women's hot dance... no, the real big event was—

Asuka was born!

The day it was born was the second day of the guild's carnival week.

No one expected that just yesterday they were talking about the addition of new blood to the guild, and today there is already new blood being born!

Alzak and Bisca were not Yuri and Rita; they wouldn't let their child be born in the guild hall. Instead, they properly checked into a hospital, hired doctors to take care of her, and even went so far as to beg Perusica to come out of the woods west of Magnolia.

After Perusika came out, she unsurprisingly started by berating Makarov.

The old lady kept saying she didn't like humans, that she was a pharmacist, not a nurse, and that she couldn't deliver babies, but in the end she softened and took care of Bisca.

A classic case of a sharp tongue but a soft heart!

Although Perusia didn't help much with the delivery, Bisca's entire birthing process went very smoothly thanks to her in-depth knowledge of potions and the mage's body, and her subsequent recovery was also very quick.

After Asuka's birth, all the guild members were naturally very excited and the banquet was restarted. Makarov, who was drunk, even pulled Perusia to dance on the spot, but was then slapped unconscious by the old lady.

The entire guild was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

With double happiness upon them, the guild's drunkards were determined not to let this opportunity slip by. A group of them drank themselves into a stupor at the tavern, and even after waking up, they continued drinking. They didn't go home or take a shower, as if these dirty men reeking of alcohol were more attractive than their soft, warm beds at home.

Let alone the dirty men, even Kana, a beautiful young woman, became slovenly and reeked of sweat after drinking alcohol for three days in a row.

early morning.

Bang-!

Kira gently pushed open the door, and as expected, what came into view were tables and chairs overturned, untied plates with leftover food on them, barrels and glasses scattered everywhere with strong-smelling ale inside, and drunkards who were completely out of it, all fast asleep with loud snoring.

After looking around for a few seconds, Kira took a step, kicked aside the barrel blocking his way, righted the overturned wooden table, stepped over the bottles and jars, and walked toward the nearest person.
