Fairy Tail: Start by accepting the Royal Knights

The year X775 passed by in a flash as they continued to take on missions and practice. Before taking on the mission this time, Urrutia checked the time and planned the mission time early. They planned to go back to the guild to spend Christmas with Urukala and the others.

"There are still five days before Christmas. Let's rest in the guild and wait until after the New Year to do the mission." On December 19, they finally got off at Magnolia Station.

"Well, I also plan to accompany Uruk during this time." Urrutia nodded and agreed to Ross's proposal.

"What are your plans for Christmas?" Because they had promised Erza at the end of last year that everyone would spend Christmas together, Urrutia asked Ross about his plans.

"I'm free during the day on Christmas, but I plan to spend the evening with Grandpa. I'm already embarrassed that I didn't go back last year." Ross was a little embarrassed and scratched his cheek. Last year, he said that everyone would spend Christmas together in the future.

"It doesn't matter. It's okay during the day. Although we can't spend Christmas Eve together, we'll spend a lot of time together doing tasks this year." Erza didn't mind, and shook her head with her eyes closed.

"I have a suggestion. How about we go around Magnolia together on Christmas?" Urrutia put one hand on her waist and raised a finger with the other hand.

"Okay, call everyone who is in the guild that afternoon!" Erza clenched her right hand near her chin, looking excited.

......

Ross, Urrutia and Erza went back to the guild to report safety first, then sent them back to the girls' dormitory, and went back to Makarov's house to put away the luggage and gifts for everyone.

Ross activated the long-distance communication magic crystal, intending to contact Laxus, who also carried it in his backpack. After a while, I finally contacted Laxus.

"Laxus, why did you take so long to get through?"

"I'm still working on the mission. I couldn't get through just now."

"Haven't you finished yet? When can you come back?"

"It's a pity. I probably can't go back."

"Why?"

Laxus on the other side opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but finally shook his head.

After a while, he said, "The mission has not been completed. Suddenly, some emergency delayed it. Even if it is completed, I can't rush back immediately."

"Where is it? Do you need help?"

"No, please apologize to the old man for me. I can't go back."

"Well, grandpa will understand. After all, it's a mission."

"I also prepared a gift for you. It's a pity that I can't give it to you on that day." Ross spent a huge sum of 660,000 J to buy Laxus a branded coat. The two are now about the same height, both close to 1.85 meters, but Laxus is stronger than Ross.

"Just put it in my room. I've prepared it for you. I'll give it to you when I get back."

"Don't wait for you to come back. I'm going out to do a mission."

"It doesn't matter. We'll see each other sooner or later."

"Laxus, although it's not time yet, I want to say in advance, Merry Christmas."

"Hehe, Merry Christmas, I'm on a mission."

......

On the afternoon of the 24th, Ross and Uru took a group of children to visit Magnolia and had afternoon tea together. After this year, Ross will be an adult and no longer a child.

Ross also gave the gifts he prepared in advance. The ones prepared for the girls were all scarves and scarf buckles, but the styles and prints were different.

They were all young, and Ross thought about it and decided to give them scarves. It felt too early to give them jewelry.

The one given to Urutia is an 11X86 twill silk scarf, with the brand's classic print on one side and eye-catching dots on the other side. It can be tied around the neck, hairline or wrist. In addition, a small light gold rectangular scarf buckle was bought. This scarf buckle alone costs 60,000 J.

...

The one given to Erza is also an 11X86 silk scarf, and a set of three small silver scarf buckles. The scarf buckles in this set are more expensive.

In addition to the scarf, Kagura also got a knife.

[Resentful Sword: Unafraid of the Heavens]

It was obtained by Ross and Erza when they passed by the town where the Mermaid Heel was located while on a mission.

Erza has her own red cherry, so she really doesn't need this. The three of them immediately decided to give it to Kagura.

Although Kagura no longer has any resentment...it doesn't stop this knife from being handsome. Ross himself is a little tempted.

Ross said that this knife has grown into his heart.

Separated from the others, Ross was holding the amber-yellow solid wood tea box given by Urrutia, surrounded by horse

Saddle needle and thread sewed the calf leather and a silver capless fountain pen with a rotating mechanism that Erza gave.

Because she noticed that Ross seemed to have the habit of writing a diary or journal when she was in Rosemary Village, but she didn't go to see it specifically, just saw Ross writing at night from a distance.

At the dining table, Ross handed Makarov a rectangular gift box decorated with ribbons, "Grandpa, Merry Christmas, this is my gift to you."

"Oh?" Makarov took it and opened it. "Red wine, I like it very much." Makarov smiled happily.

This red wine was bought by Ross at a winery in the suburbs of Krocas. It is not a limited product, but I heard that the quality is good. Ross doesn't drink red wine and can't taste it. It was recommended by Uncle Varo.

After eating and drinking...

"I have something to tell you." Makarov sat up straight with a serious face.

Ross saw Makarov put on this expression and straightened his body.

"Six years ago, you sat alone at the door of the guild, joined Fairy Tail, and moved into my home. You are a hard-working and filial child. I am glad that you can join Fairy Tail and live in this home. After this year, you will be an adult and it is time to move out."

"Grandpa..." Ross had no intention of leaving here at all.

Makarov folded his arms and shook his head: "Listen to me first, I am not driving you away. You and Laxus are both adults. Not to mention that the room is too small for you now, and you should learn to live alone. I am also going to drive Laxus out when he comes back."

"But I don't want to leave." In the past six years, Ross rarely refused Makarov's proposals or requests.

"Listen, that room will always be reserved for you. You can come back anytime you want, but you must move out. This is what I, as a grandfather, ask my grandson."

Rose didn't say anything. Makarov smiled and continued, "Grandpa, I also want some private space. Let me, an old man, rest quietly when I come back at night."

"Okay." Ross nodded helplessly. He knew that Makarov had made up his mind. If this old man got stubborn, you really couldn't persuade him.

Today is Christmas, but he is not in a good mood. He has lived in that room for six years.

Makarov saw that Ross was not in a good mood, so he comforted him: "It's not that we won't see each other anymore. We can always see each other in the guild. I don't plan to retire yet."

On January 1, X776, Ross and Laxus officially became adults.
