——"Magnolia", located in the rebuilt library on the right block.
There are mountains of information piled up on both sides of the position. A certain brown-haired girl is sitting at the rest table used by people in the hall for reading, studying something with a dignified expression.
More than a month passed in a blink of an eye. After the council branch submitted an application to establish a guild, Zera and the others set out to return to the city. At the same time, they also entrusted a loud voice with the news that they were about to establish a guild here.
The blacksmith informed the townspeople.
Although some residents were very uneasy because of the precedent of the Dark Guild, with the hard lobbying of Mavis and the friends she made, everyone gradually accepted this status quo and began to look forward to what these young people would do.
What kind of vitality is injected into this city?
As the address of the guild, Zella, as the president, chose the lakeside where she and Mavis discovered the beautiful night view when they held the celebration banquet.
I have to say that that area, both in terms of location and area, made everyone feel that it was very suitable.
After choosing a place, the three boys, Yuri, naturally took over the construction work.
At first, the young people who had never done such craftsmanship were really in a hurry and made a lot of jokes. But after a while, the idle residents of the town came to help when they had time, and this delayed progress was finally completed.
There is a qualitative leap.
(...From what Mabius said, it should be within the next few days.)
Closing the book in her hand, Zella put her fingers against her temples to soothe her nerves that were tired from reading for a long time, and then looked softly in a certain direction outside the window.
She didn't know much about the construction of the guild, so she didn't interfere randomly. When she went to see it last night, it seemed that the finishing project had already entered, so she finally had some free time and got busy with her own affairs.
It's just that this aspect, compared to that aspect, is far less smooth.
(...Among the legends about "gods" that have been passed down from ancient times to this day, you didn't expect that there are none that can be used as a reference...)
I thought that libraries in mainland cities might have more detailed records of the past. As a result, Zera went through almost all the information and sorted out things that were almost the same as the library on "Sirius Island". Some parts
The island is not even complete.
Gods, dragons, star spirits...the only thing they know is that in the distant past, many races different from humans did exist.
Maybe Mavis will be very happy, because in this case, fairies are indeed very likely to exist.
However, there was no substantial progress in the information about the curse and the physical problems of the two of them, which made the brown-haired girl still look a little depressed.
(Are we here today...)
Driving the wheelchair to the entrance of the library, Zella stretched hard and patted her cheeks to try to cheer herself up.
Going back with such an appearance, a certain little guy might have to think too much.
When she was considering whether to ask Baruge to come out and push her back, her familiar shouts came from the entrance of the block in the distance.
"Ah! Found it! Zera——!! Look!!"
"...?"
Calling his friend's name excitedly, Mavis ran over holding the parchment in his hand.
After holding her chest and taking a breath, the feather-eared girl happily unfolded the paper in front of Zera.
"Our guild application and the documents that have passed the review by the Council have been sent over!"
"'Fairy Tail'! It's really born!"
"——!"
(…)
(Is it finally here...)
With 50% surprise, 30% emotion, and 20% naturally complicated emotions, Zella took a deep breath, her voice rising from soft to loud.
"... Then hurry up and bring this good news back to... our guild!"
The blond young man who was the first to spot the two girls wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked sideways in front of a brand new building.
"Really? You guys have been waiting for a long time."
"Are you back, Zella, Mavis?"
Warrod and Precht, who were resting on the stone nearby, quickly noticed them and greeted their return.
Nodding in response to them, Mavis, who had adjusted his mood along the way, pushed his friend to the door of the new building again.
Although she had already seen it once before going to see Zella, at this time, it was still difficult to calm down.
"...How about it! This is our guild!"
Yuri smiled proudly, but he was looking forward to Zera's expression at this moment.
Buildings with a strong sense of the times stand there, with well-proportioned high platforms going up layer by layer. The only thing that remains unchanged is the flag symbolizing Fairy Tail swaying in the wind.
(Fairy Tail...)
All of this is both 'familiar' and 'unfamiliar' to Zella.
What is familiar is a coat of arms that will never fade in memory, and what is unfamiliar is heading towards an unknown future.
"..."
"...Just this once, let me praise you."
"Hey! A tough-tongued guy."
With a slight snort, Yuri did not continue to talk, but raised his head and stared ahead with ups and downs in his heart.
On such an important day, he has plenty of money and won’t worry about it!
"Everyone! Come and take a commemorative photo!"
After greeting his companions who had all arrived, Mabis, who was holding an old-style camera, was well prepared and fixed the frame under a tree.
The scene was frozen in the midst of noisy laughter. As the president, Zella was surrounded in the middle, Mebis was smiling and raising his hands in the air, Warlord and Precht were also standing on both sides with their hands folded.
It was not forgotten that a certain celestial spirit maid also played a role in the construction process. She was summoned by Zera at some point, and she squeezed Yuri to the side in a scene-stealing way, causing a burst of laughter.
Well, although everyone took a few more photos afterwards, this one is still the one that Zella likes the most...
…
At the end of April of X686, the Magisters' Guild "Fairy Tail" was officially established.
Although there are only five members now, they all believe that many members will gather here to start adventures in the future.
Everything so far is the past of the birth of this guild that is different from the 'future'.
And this is not all, because the story belonging to 'them' has just begun...
Looking absentmindedly at the photo frame in her hand and the slightly yellowed photos inside, the brown-haired girl returned to "Sirius Island" after sending the young dragon son to the guild and sighed slightly.
Whether it was a few years ago or decades ago, to be honest, even she herself didn't know.
The only thing that is certain is that every time she comes back from 'there', the city will change.
"...Thank you, Eileen, for your hard work in protecting this place during my absence."
After putting the photo frame back on the shelf, the brown-haired girl did not look back. Instead, she seemed to say words of thanks to the air.
Because she knew that after sensing her arrival, this woman who didn't know whether to be her friend or subordinate would definitely come over.
"Are you back...Lord Zeira?"
He responded solemnly with words in a lowered posture. There was a scar on the left side of his abdomen and a crimson-haired woman with four braids appeared here as expected.
"Well... the part of the 'Divine Comedy' has been completed, and there is no point in me continuing to stay there."
"By the way Erin, is anyone looking for me these days?"
If her prediction was correct, the appearance of the Dragon Son meant that the plan that spanned four hundred years had begun.
"Yes."
Nodding, the woman named Erin confirmed.
(Hmm...didn't you catch up...)
July 7, X777, that day can be said to be the day everything began.
(Without two portions of the magic power of the Celestial Spirit Mage, ‘she’ can still open that ‘door’, which is really hard work...)
After all, the key to the Virgin Palace has always been in the hands of the brown-haired girl.
(Okay, let's try it with her. If it succeeds, it will prove my "cradle" plan...)
"Um, are you leaving again so soon?"
"Huh? Ah, I won't go 'there' for the time being. I just have something to do to meet someone."
Realizing that her actions had misunderstood Irene, the brown-haired girl waved her hand.
A certain woman's name came from behind.
"A Celestial Mage named Layla Heartfilia."
"...?"
…
After leaving the small house full of memories, the brown-haired girl who was about to leave came here again.
After taking the magic tool placed next to the unnamed tomb, the girl gently brushed away the dust on the monument.
The drifting dust and withered leaves also make the memories of the past become distant again.
(...If I think about it now, everything started to become "strange", probably starting from that war...)
