The sunset is setting and the sky is filled with sunset.
Taking advantage of the sparse light, Noah, holding a box in his hand, pushed apart the grass and crossed the trees. After passing through the paths, the scene in front of him began to become clear.
Not long after, a clear stream appeared in front of Noah.
And beside the river, a girl with eye-catching crimson hair was staying there.
“Drink—drink—drink—drink!”
Amid the stern and delicate shouts, Elusa, who was wearing cold armor, held a knight's sword in one hand, like a Valkyrie falling from the sky, flexibly running back and forth on the river bank, while wielding the knight's sword in her hand at a rapid speed, bringing up sword lights.
"Knock-knock-knock-knock-knock-!"
The crisp sound of sword strike flashed in the air like a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
Looking at Elusha's ghostly figure and the sword lights that flashed continuously, Noah seemed to see Elusha who was diligently practicing sword skills on the river bank when she was a child, and she couldn't help but smile with a gentle smile.
In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and both Noah and Erza have grown up.
Unlike the Elusa who could only think about the use of sword skills and grew up in a clumsy way, Elusa's sword skills have already reached a level of superb level, which is far from comparable before.
Moreover, Elusa is no longer the novice magician who has not even obtained a job permit and can only stay in the guild and temporarily hone her magic, but a real strong man.
He won the title of the only fifth S-level magician in "Fairytail" and also won the title of "Fairy Queen". He is known as the strongest female magician in "Fairytail" and is also the real strongest one of the strongest candidates.
After thinking about it this way, Noah felt that things from childhood were still vivid in her mind, flashing through her mind one by one, immersing Noah in her childhood memories.
Unfortunately, this memory has not lasted for long.
"Noah?" accompanied by a sound of surprise, all the sword lights flashing on the river bank disappeared.
Noah came to his senses and looked forward. He saw that the two knight swords in Elusa's hand were turning into a ray of light and disappeared into Elusa's hand. Elusa herself turned her eyes to Noah and said in surprise.
"It's so strange. You're actually here."
"What is so strange?" Noah shook his head in a funny way, walked forward, came to the bank of the river, and looked at the flowing water in the clear river.
"This secret base still belonged to me at the beginning, right? If it weren't for learning sword skills from you, you wouldn't know about this place, right? Why do you say it now like yours?"
"It seems that something is going on." Erza couldn't help but chuckled and came to Noah, stood side by side with Noah, and looked forward.
"I have always practiced here. I forgot that you brought me here."
"I didn't expect you to be here all the time. If it weren't for what Mira and Lisana said to me, I would have been kept in the dark." Noah spread his hands.
"If you tell Natsu and Gray what you practice here almost every day, they will definitely understand why you are so strong, right?"
"Don't say that, they both work hard too." Elusa turned her head and said to Noah in an unknown way.
"After saying this, it seems that you haven't been here for a long time, right?"
"Yes." Noah himself sighed.
"After all, if it's just a simple exercise, it's hard for my strength to improve. Now, if I still want to become stronger, it won't work just to exercise. It's more important to have practical or deadly training, or to find another way. The chances of coming here will naturally become less, and it's even harder to have it."
"That's right." After Noah said this, Elusa also recalled Noah's excellent close combat ability and unfathomable strength, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You are really above me now. When did I reach the point where you cannot become stronger by simple exercise? That will prove that I have caught up with you more or less, right?"
"Stop saying the compliments, you are already very strong." Noah curled her lips and sat down directly on the spot, putting the box in her hand on the ground.
"I have brought you a gift of comfort."
As he said this, Noah opened the box and exposed the things lying in the box to the air.
It was a strawberry cake.
Elusa's eyes lit up and she immediately sat down. She grabbed the cake on the ground without hesitation, picked up the fork placed in the box, took a bite, and then said to Noah in a slightly cheerful tone with some reminiscence.
“It’s still delicious as always.”
"Is it just as delicious as ever?" Noah couldn't help but smile at Elsa, who only acted like a girl who had just fallen in love when facing her favorite food.
"I thought compared to the past, the cake shop in Magnoliari has improved a lot of cake making methods, and the taste will also improve a lot."
"Yeah?" Hearing this, Elusha was stunned.
"Have you never tasted it?"
"I prefer lighter flavors than sweet things." Noah responded casually.
"And, I just said that this is a gift for you."
"Is that true?" Elusa took another bite of the cake, holding the box containing the cake, and her tone became ethereal.
"Eating the cake you brought like this, I can't help but remember the first time you gave me cakes when I was a child."
At that time, Elusa still had some problems with one eye, and she used a medical eye mask to cover it. She was silent and would only stay in the corner of the guild, sitting quietly alone, and a child who did not interfere with anyone.
"At that time, I had just arrived in the fairytail not long. You were the first companion in the guild to have an intersection with me. Just like now, you brought me a cake." Elusa changed her gaze and looked at Noah again.
"Actually, I always wanted to ask you, why did you want to give me cakes at that time?"
Hearing this, Noah was silent.
Why?
Why do you want to give Elusa a cake and have an intersection with Elusa?
Noah did not forget the mood at that time.
"When I saw you for the first time, I knew you were a very story-provoking person." Under Elusa's gaze, Noah said this indifferently.
"Elusa, in fact, in your heart, there has always been parts that no one can touch, right?"
Hearing this sentence, the expression on Elusa's face froze instantly, and the expression in her eyes suddenly froze.
"A child that young can actually resist being able to stop fighting with others in such a lively place. Either he is really afraid of life or there must be a reason to have to do so." Noah said to himself as if he had not noticed Elsa's changes.
"But no matter how you look at it, you don't look like someone who is afraid of life, so I think you must have a past that you can't tell, and it's definitely not a good past."
"Is that true?" All the expressions on Elusa's face disappeared, and her eyes looking at Noah became gloomy and uncertain.
"So, at that time, did you do that because you felt sympathy for me?"
"Sympathy?" Noah shook his head with a chuckle.
"It would be great if it was sympathy. It's a pity that at that time, the only feeling I had was envy."
"Envy?" Even Elusa was stunned when she heard such words.
envious?
Envy yourself for being withdrawn?
Envy yourself for having a bad past?
Can this be envied?
If someone else said this, Elusa would definitely think that the other party was laughing at her, but Noah was not that kind of person.
So, what does this sentence mean?
"Even if you have a bad past, painful past and even desperate past, it is your past." Noah's expression suddenly became complicated as if he saw through what Elusa was thinking.
“Isn’t it worth envious to have a past that can prove your existence?”
