Fairy Tail Space Mage

As for her two disciples, who were already close to the "Ten Saints" and knew her very well, it was naturally easy for one of them to take on the other two.

Then, she decided to come to Gray's side.

One reason was that Kong was here, making it easier to observe and take care of her. Another reason was that Uru wanted to know information about the person named "Zalut." For some reason, Uru was very concerned about that person.

……

“Zalut’s identity… she is your daughter.”

During the meal, Ultear finally couldn't resist asking Sora about it. Sora answered her casually. After all, Ultear hadn't asked him to keep it a secret.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

"Cough cough!"

Three loud spitting sounds came from Happy, Natsu, and Gray, respectively. Lucy, who was drinking water, was the one who choked.

As for Elsa and Little Uru, they both stared wide-eyed. Little Uru, in particular, was initially completely incredulous, then his face turned pale and then flushed, seemingly somewhat disoriented by Sora's words.

"Sigh... Sora, please stop talking like that."

Elsa didn't know what to say to the void, and for once, she sighed helplessly.

If it were Natsu and the others, Erza would have slapped them by now. Of course, Sora is different.

"What's wrong... Did I say something wrong? She's Uru's daughter, Urutia." Sora was still a little confused.

"never mind……"

Erza knew that Sora was like that. People who were usually quiet and reserved often had a way of speaking that was truly astounding. Erza decided that Sora was just like that too.

"Wait, Sora, you're saying that short old man is Ul's daughter? They don't look alike at all!" Regardless of Sora's manner of speaking, Natsu was more surprised by what Sora said.

"Idiot! I already told you, that's transformation magic!" Gray, who was standing next to Natsu, smacked Natsu on the head hard.

"That's why Natsu smelled perfume on him. He's actually a woman!" Happy exclaimed in surprise.

“Ultear… I remember, she should be one of the council members, on par with Zigren… How come she’s here, and even used transformation magic to become like that?” Erza frowned, unable to help but think about many things.

“Wait… what are you talking about… my daughter Ultear, she was already…” Ultear trembled all over, clearly, every piece of information in their conversation had a huge impact on her.

"You've been deceived... Brian, formerly the director of the Magic Development Bureau in the Council, is now the guild master of the three major dark guilds, 'Oracle Seis.' Your daughter possessed extraordinary magical power from a young age; she was his most outstanding experimental subject. How could he possibly return such an important experimental subject to you? So..."

Since he'd already revealed Ultear's identity, he might as well tell her a little more. Besides, seeing a mother so emotionally invested in her daughter, Sora simply couldn't keep it from her any longer.

"Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you!" Uru became extremely agitated upon hearing Sora's explanation. She stood up, wanting to approach Sora and question him, but was blocked by Erza.

Although Uru knew that Sora was her savior, and that no one else could deceive her, Sora should not.

However, she is too emotional now and has lost her mind!

She couldn't accept the truth, and like ordinary people, she couldn't help but run away from it, even taking her anger out on Sora!

“I’ve been tracking the Oración Seis, so I specifically investigated their guild master, Brian… I know a lot. I even know that Ultear once escaped from the lab, but she happened to see you with your disciples… She thought you abandoned her. So, she went back… Now, she pursues power, knowledge, and magic. Now, she’s a member of the council.”

Having seen all sorts of people, Kong understood Uru's current reaction perfectly and didn't mind, simply continuing to explain.

Chapter 181: The Curtain Falls and the Return

"How could this be, how could this be... She actually thought I abandoned her... Why, why didn't I realize? I'm clearly her mother! No! Why didn't I suspect anything back then? Why did I believe that person's words! Why did I send my daughter to such a place! Waaah..."

Uru kept asking himself these questions, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Gray was very worried, but Erza, who was standing in front of little Uru, instinctively hugged him and comforted him in her arms.

For some reason, this scene doesn't feel out of place at all.

"Is...is Uru's daughter really still alive? Is that Zhalut really Uru's daughter? Then why did she..."

Gray seemed to already know that Zalt was actually the mastermind behind melting the giant ice block and releasing Deliora. Leo was merely being used.

“Gray, you’re smart, so you should be able to figure out why. But none of that really matters. No matter how much you regret the past, no matter how much you’ve missed, it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is that Uru is still alive. As long as you’re alive, everything can be salvaged; as long as you’re alive, you can reunite, make amends, and do whatever you want, slowly.” The last two sentences were for Uru.

……

Then, evening arrived smoothly.

Although Leo couldn't help but run over to check on Uru's condition, and noticed that Uru's eyes were a little red, he angrily questioned Gray, almost getting into another fight with him.

He and Gray were like doting fathers to their daughters. They couldn't bear to see little Uru suffer even the slightest injustice.

Then, Gray immediately explained the reason to Leo, who calmed down a bit.

Upon learning that Zalut was actually Uru's daughter, and recalling what had happened back then, Leo felt remorse for having been used, yet couldn't help but sigh with regret. He gave Gray a final, earnest instruction, telling him to take good care of little Uru, before reluctantly leaving.

……

As night deepened, and finally, when the bright moon hung high in the sky, Erza donned the [Giant's Armor], and with Natsu's flames propelling him forward, used the [Spear of Exorcism] to pierce the purple barrier that enveloped the entire island.

After the purple barrier disappeared, the moonlight immediately returned to normal, and the moon was no longer purple, but as bright as it appeared from the outside.

The villagers returned to normal. However, their "normality" was somewhat different from that of ordinary people.

Natsu and his friends didn't realize that the villagers were originally demons until they saw them spread their black wings and fly into the sky. They had simply forgotten their demonic nature due to the effect of a barrier they themselves had created on the island, allowing them to live in seclusion.

Then, the Moon Drops from Rio and the others' "Moon Ritual" weakened the barrier's effect, restoring parts of their bodies to their original appearance. However, their memories remained sealed within the barrier's effects. This is why they mistakenly believed they were cursed and even sought help from Fairy Tail mages to remove the curse.

The truth came out, a happy ending that was also chilling (they had been living in the devil's den all along)! Especially after the boatman who brought them to the island—who Gray had initially thought was a ghost—also appeared, along with the village chief's son.

“This island has always been connected to the port. The port has records of the changes here. If you just investigate the port’s past records a little, you can find clues. You guys, even if you wanted to do an S-rank mission, you didn’t do any investigation before landing on the island. Really…” Erza, of course, didn’t forget to take the opportunity to teach Natsu and the others a lesson.

The group of people lowered their heads, naturally not daring to refute.

In fact, Elsa taught them a lesson. If it weren't for Elsa, they wouldn't know when they would have found the key to completing the mission and then finished it.

S-rank missions sometimes test more than just a mage's strength. Knowledge, wisdom, and experience are equally important!

……

After completing the mission, the group had no reason to stay on the island any longer.

The next morning, everyone said goodbye to the villagers.

(Grey's little devilish fans seem very reluctant to see him leave.)

Although the village chief insisted on paying a reward, it seemed the village had found considerable treasure while salvaging the shipwreck, he ultimately couldn't resist Elsa and simply handed over the Sagittarius golden key.

Seven years ago, all the golden keys should have belonged to Lucy's mother.

Now, why has the Sagittarius key ended up on Devil's Island, which has very little contact with the outside world...? To be honest, I can't figure it out, and I'm very curious.

However, seeing Lucy grinning foolishly as she held her new key, Sora probably didn't know that the key in her hand once belonged to her mother.

……

They boarded the village chief's son's small boat and left Devil's Island.

Leo and the others had not yet left.

This time, they will travel directly to the Northern Continent, their homeland, on a large ship. With so many people, it will take another day to get everything settled.

However, Leo, Sherry, Dog Ears, and the Training Suit still came to see everyone off. Or rather, Leo wanted to bid farewell to Little Uru and then reiterate to Gray that he must take good care of Little Uru.

He really is like a father, no, he's so long-winded, he should be more like a mother.

Anyway, Little Uru was already getting annoyed with him. She might appear like a little girl on the outside, but inside she was a mature and sophisticated woman. Being treated like a complete little girl was naturally very unpleasant for Uru.

……

Back to the guild.

Contrary to Kong's fears, the attack by the "Ghost" did not occur.

In the manga, Sora clearly remembers that as soon as the events on Devil's Island ended and Natsu and the others returned, they immediately discovered that the guild had been attacked.

He had even asked Mystergan to secretly monitor the movements of the Spectre guild. As it turned out, the Spectre did make some moves, preparing war supplies and medicine. They were buying up large quantities of magical items related to combat, but that was all.

It seems they are still waiting for the right opportunity.

Honestly, Sora doesn't know if the butterfly effect of his time travel will cause "Ghost" to attack the guild again like in the story.

But Kong still hoped they could wait a bit, after all, he was in this state. If the "Ghost" attacked at this moment, he could only watch the show from the sidelines.

……

Together with the president, Gray, and Little Uru, they arrived at the cabin in the eastern forest and found Ms. Poliusica.

"You little brat, do you really want to die?!"

After seeing the condition of Uru and then the condition of Sora, and hearing about the whole process of Sora restoring Uru, Poliusica suddenly started cursing at Sora.

Sora was a little confused. He still didn't know that it was Polyusika who found him in the forest, nor did he know that Polyusika cared about him so much. He thought that something had gone wrong in the process of restoring Uru and that he had caused some irreparable damage to Uru.

Then, he slowly realized the real reason why the other person was scolding him. Although it was a bit strange, Kong still didn't dare to say anything.

Because it was someone else's territory, and Poliusica seemed very powerful, Uru saw that Sora was being severely reprimanded and wanted to plead for him, but he didn't know how to start.

Chapter 182 Unexplained Revenge

Chairman Makarov not only did not speak up for Sora, but also joined Polyushika in reprimanding Sora!

Honestly, when he saw Little Uru and heard that Kong had restored him, he was utterly shocked!

He knew Uru. Gray had once asked him to find a way to restore Uru. Of course, he always thought it was impossible.

He didn't have time to ask for details at the time, but now that he has heard about the specific process of restoring Uru, Makarov is also terrified.

It's not that you shouldn't have restored Uru, or that you shouldn't have taken such a huge risk, even risking your own life... After all, the living are always more important than the dead.

Moreover, at their age, Makarov and Poryusika simply didn't believe that someone like Uru, from the older generation, was worth sacrificing his life for a young man with limitless potential like Sora. Although Uru wasn't that old when he turned into ice.

Seeing the two most senior and formidable elders in the guild joining forces to reprimand Kong, Gray, the youngest member, naturally dared not utter a sound.

"I'm sorry, Sora. I will definitely repay your kindness in the future," Gray thought to himself, and then pretended to be mute.

The punishment for secretly doing an S-class mission with Natsu hasn't come yet.

The thought of those outrageous punishment events in the guild, like the "Crossdressing Town Marathon," made Gray tremble with fear.

He felt that at this point, it would be wiser for him to remain inconspicuous and let the chairman completely forget about him.

……

There was nothing that could be done about being scolded, but fortunately, Little Uru's condition was not a problem.
