"Fairy Tail" guild's third floor, president's lounge.
Except for the lobby on the first floor and the important task commission board on the second floor, the room dedicated to the president on the third floor has not been used for a long time.
For the third president, the little old man named Makarov, it feels more like "home" to watch the gang of brats playing around on the first floor.
But today, due to the sudden visit of a special 'guest', he really had to brace himself and treat it carefully.
The premise is that what the other party said is true...
Sweating on his back, Makarov also changed from a relaxed state of telling stories to the young man after noticing that the brown-haired girl opposite him had inadvertently revealed a change of mood when he heard him talking about some guild history.
Becoming a little cautious.
Judging from the fluctuation of this magic power alone, it has actually exceeded that of him who is now one of the "Top Ten Holy Magicians". How can the old man not be shocked?
(this……)
(Is she really...)
(No, no, no...this is impossible...)
His eyebrows were filled with disbelief, and Makarov still looked more suspicious than confident.
It's no wonder that at the beginning, a girl who looked like she could be his granddaughter suddenly came to the guild and told him, "I am the first guild president here. No matter what you think, it's just a kid's joke, right?"
Speaking of the first generation, people of the same era as his father, even if they are not dead, are probably eighty or ninety years old. How could they be so 'young'.
However, the girl had the "Fairy Tail" guild logo engraved on her body, and the matter also involved the reputation of the first generation. It was inappropriate to talk on the first floor, so he took people to the third floor.
(Hmm... they should be descendants of the first generation...)
After sorting out his thoughts, Makarov could only give himself the most acceptable explanation.
In addition to her more "mature" appearance and healthy feet, the girl's appearance is indeed carved from the same mold as the one in the middle of the commemorative photo on the wall that still has a sense of history.
only……
Is it really so?
Feeling the special temperament of the girl with a nostalgic look on her face, Makarov fell into deep thought again.
…
"...So...are they still alive..."
A faint wry smile appeared on her face, as if she was nostalgic. This was the most reassuring news Zella had ever heard.
From the mouth of the third generation Makarov, we learned that he took over the position of president when he was about forty years old, and it has been more than twenty years now.
His mother often told stories from the past, including the story of what happened after the first generation president disappeared.
At that time, although his father Yuri had been depressed for a while, he quickly cheered up with the help of his partners and devoted himself to work according to the guild charter established by the first generation. In the following decades, Pu
Leicht and Volod did not part ways because of the issue of 'black magic', and became the pillars of the guild.
In the past seventy years, most of the members of the first generation have died, and not many died in the adventure.
Yuri's wife Rita died more than 20 years ago after the birth of her grandson Ivan. Although this grandson now seems to have a bad character.
Well, let's not mention those digressions for now. In the world of "Islandon", it is a common and normal phenomenon that magicians live longer than ordinary people.
So although Yuri was sad, he quickly got over the sadness of separation and death.
It is said that the three old grandfathers returned to their old profession after that, and they said they traveled around the world, but in fact they didn't know which ruins they wandered into.
"...Really...those idiots, since they are already old, don't worry anyone anymore..."
Hearing the girl here muttering to herself with a sore nose, Zella didn't know if it was her intervention that led to such a change, but at least everyone in that era had a good ending in life.
In this case, she can relax and seek her 'future'.
As long as you are alive, there will be a day when we meet again.
After all, it's those guys...
"...Thank you, Third Generation, for telling me so many things."
"Well... I was just talking casually, you, you... um..."
These histories are not secrets at all. To him, they are just chatting with the ‘juniors’ for a while like an ordinary old man.
Just looking at the girl's unrealistic feelings and unprecedentedly huge magical power, Makarov couldn't decide how to treat her.
"...It doesn't matter if you don't force it. I know you can't believe it yet."
"..."
Smiling slightly, it was not difficult for Zeira to understand Makarov's tangled mood at this time.
She didn't have a complicated meaning when she came back here, she just wanted to get rid of a knot in her heart.
Now that Yuri and the others have retired, it's time for her, the 'old guy', to leave.
"...It's almost time, it's time for me to leave."
"I came back this time just to see the guild we built."
"...!"
With her wish fulfilled, Zella stood up from her seat with the intention of leaving.
Obsidian-like magical light points rose around Zeira.
"...If Mavis sees it, he will definitely be happy..."
"...The guild will leave it to you..."
"……Third Generation……"
The ethereal voice echoed in the room, and the gradually fading body turned into starlight, drifting out of the window with a breeze.
"..."
"She should..."
"It's not the resentment of the first generation..."
Facing this ghostly way of 'exiting', Makarov felt sad and angry.
After leaving the guild, Zella did not stay much in the human world.
After walking through the Xinghong Trail and returning to the Star of Virgo, she made up for some regrets and returned directly to the Star Spirit World to prepare for the next plan.
Since more than half a year ago, the star crystal inlaid with golden light balls has become a unique scenery here.
And the girl sleeping inside, who looks like a goblin, is also the best friend of this 'supernumerary star spirit'.
…
"Welcome back, Master."
After finishing her daily cleaning of the surrounding area, the cherry-haired girl nodded slightly when she saw the appearance of her contractor.
Over the past few days, this zodiac star spirit has almost become Zera's exclusive maid.
"Well...thank you for your hard work, Baluge."
Zella, who smiled at her own star spirit, wore a mysterious black and white spirit outfit, and looked seventeen or eighteen years old, walked up to Mavis' crystal.
When she woke up and discovered the changes in her body, she was shocked.
It's just an "unexpected surprise" that the 'foot injury' has healed. The most important thing is that she seems to be no longer human...
After unanimous recognition by the Star Spirit King, the Southern Cross Star Spirit and other senior Star Spirits, they all confirmed that the girl who was born in the "Fountain of Stars" had completely integrated the breath of the Star Spirits and became one of them.
The protoss were naturally happy to have an extra companion, but with it came a big problem.
That means all eighty-eight star positions in the Star Spirit Realm are full.
Now Zella's identity is very embarrassing.
But after all, she was a new companion born in the "Fountain of Stars", so there was no way she could just be left alone.
So after some discussion, everyone adopted a compromise approach for her special case.
With the permission of the "Celestial Spirit King", Zera was given the status of "Agent of the Celestial Spirit King" and became the guardian of the gates of the two realms.
When she is in the "human world", she is in the form of a "human". When she returns to the "astral spirit world", she will return to the state of a "celestial spirit".
Said to be the "Star Spirit" state, it is actually the appearance of the "Demon King" after she hides her jet-black wings.
And because she became a star spirit, she couldn't stay in the human world for a long time and had to return to the star spirit world every once in a while.
But no matter what, this is the best ending after lifting the curse and controlling the dark energy.
Then there is only one thing to do next.
(...Before you wake up... I hope you have a good dream...)
(Mavis...)
She already had a clue how to collect the three 'keys' to wake up the princess.
