Opening his arms and relaxing his whole body, Mavis could not hide his excitement as he walked back to the hotel, and would comment on today's activities from time to time.
Because what the little one likes most is desserts and new things.
Whether it was the cake tasting session at the beginning or the water show just now, they were all to her liking.
But she was happy, but for another traveler, some experiences were not so good.
"Um……"
She reluctantly responded and looked away, trying not to let the other party see her subtle expression. Zella only felt a dull pain in her stomach.
No wonder it is said that when girls eat, sweets are put in the other stomach. She now understands this deeply.
Originally, this person doesn’t usually like to eat sweets, but today he ate all the way with Mabis in a good mood...
The result is already imaginable.
(...I wonder if there is any magic that can help with digestion...)
While thinking about some ridiculous questions, Zera also slowed down again in line with the feather-eared girl's pace, and enjoyed the characteristic flower scenery of the royal capital while talking and laughing.
There's nothing wrong with going back so early, so why not take a walk slowly like this...
Maybe, someone might prefer this kind of atmosphere...
…
In this way, it was almost past dinner time, and they returned to their original destination after unknowingly circling half of the royal capital.
The hotel where the two of them stayed was a small shop with a bee sign. Although it was not a famous place, the environment was good, and from the location of the room, you could see the royal palace in the center of the city, "Hua Lantern Palace Merukli"
The night view of Yas is also worth the money.
But now, the feather-eared girl, who was tired from shopping, was breathing steadily on her bed. The brown-haired girl also happened to be free, looking in the direction of the palace and slowly sorting out her thoughts.
(...Yes...there is...)
("Solar Eclipse Plan"...)
Long-standing memories gradually emerged in her mind, and she remembered that the door that could travel through time and space was in this city.
(Dragon Slayer... Zeref... and...)
Counting the 'keys' she knew in detail, her body involuntarily tensed up when it came to a certain name.
The black dragon recorded in the Book of Revelation destroyed one era after another.
——"Akunololia".
Even if she deliberately avoids these, Zella's intuition is still issuing warnings.
As long as you continue to stay in this world, you will have to face these things sooner or later.
Perhaps, when she replaced Mavis and became the first president of "Fairy Tail", something had already changed and been destined.
(Strength... is still not enough...)
The strongest black mage who has lived for hundreds of years and the dragon that can devour and destroy everything are both insurmountable strong men for Zella now.
And she no longer dares to put her hope in those children in the future. Having experienced two worlds, she clearly understands one thing, that is, each world is "real", so to rely on the so-called "
"Plot" and "Protagonist Aura" are not reliable at all.
Miracles won't always happen, you have to rely on yourself!
Confirming this again, the desire to protect everything now gave Zera unprecedented motivation.
It was also at this time that she really gained the will to plan for the future.
Because nearly a hundred years is not a short period of time.
But the first thing we need to find a solution to is this 'hundred-year-old' problem, so that it doesn't turn into a group of grandfathers and old ladies fighting...
That's too...
…
However, just when the brown-haired girl's thoughts had a general framework, something happened that completely disrupted the plan she had just made, causing the road signs of fate to become chaotic again.
In May of X690, the day before leaving the royal capital.
In the best hotel in the royal capital "Krokas", a pale-faced feather-eared girl was lying in the middle of the large bed, occasionally coughing violently due to her rapid breathing.
Beside his bed, a middle-aged woman wearing some kind of special clothing was frowning, and her hands were constantly emitting white light. Another girl in a wheelchair was also watching all this anxiously.
"...Doctor, how is she?"
When we were playing before, Mavis would cough from time to time. They both thought it was just a common cold, but they didn't expect it to become so serious all of a sudden.
After she suddenly collapsed, Zeira immediately moved her out, and then invited the best magician and pharmaceutical consultant in the royal capital.
It's just that the other party hasn't given any confirmation yet, which makes the brown-haired girl feel even more uneasy.
"...Miss Zella, has your friend used any magic that shouldn't be used in the past?"
"...!?"
The woman who raised her head did not answer, but asked Zella a question.
If there is anything that shouldn't be used... it's only the "Glory" that was forcibly released when dealing with "Larabai" four years ago.
For this reason, Mavis has not used magic for several years, and it was only recently that she was told that there were signs of recovery.
Things that were originally impossible to recover have improved. Isn't this a good thing?!
"Yeah……"
The female doctor, who showed an expected expression and put away her magic light, sighed regretfully and organized her words to name the disease she diagnosed.
The reason why Mavis is like this is not as simple as a cold or fever.
It is a terminal disease that every magician fears.
——"Magic Deficiency Syndrome".
"How can it be……"
The heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment.
My hands and feet also became numb.
This explanation was simply unacceptable to Zeira.
"...I did find that your friend's body seems to have been conditioned, but the lost vitality cannot be replenished through medicine, and she also has long-term fatigue symptoms, which may not break out so quickly...
…”
"..."
Biting her lips in silence, how could Zella not know what she was referring to.
War, guild, and the feather-eared girl have shared too much for her.
(Why...didn't you notice it earlier...)
His lips were bitten with bloody marks, and his fingers dug deeply into his palms.
"..."
"...Doctor, is there any way to cure it?"
Zella didn't know how she felt when she asked this question.
All she knew was that even if there was still a glimmer of hope...
"..."
"well……"
"Sorry, 'Magic Deficiency' cannot be solved by magical medicine at present."
"The best estimate... there is still a month left..."
"——!!!"
After leaving his last words of diagnosis, the doctor shook his head sadly, got up and left, leaving the room to the two girls.
One month later…
It was the date I agreed with Yuri to return to the guild...
It is also the end of their journey...
I just didn’t expect that…
Will become the end of life...
…
"Zera..."
The weak voice rose slightly.
Calling his friend's name.
"I want to go back to..."Sirius Island"..."
"May I……"
Even now, she is still smiling.
"Um……"
"I'll take you back..."
"Return to our..."
"Go home..."
What is shed is the crystal clear determination. (To be continued)
