Fairy Tail: The Three Sacred Magic

From that day on.

Mistongang started his commissioned mission inexplicably.

Client: Third-generation President Makarov

Commissioned mission: Go to the ring every day to select A-level wizards, assess their strength, and summarize the top ten after a week.

And Hal, the instigator of everything, always sat under the ring and watched Mistongang drink tea.

On this day, the sun was bright, the air was fresh, and the breeze blew gently.

Gray turned over from the bed and looked out the window with a dazed look. The sun shone on his face, and the warm feeling made him a little dazed.

He rarely woke up so lazily. In the past, he was always used to going to the guild early to complete tasks or chat with his companions.

However, as soon as he woke up today, a familiar figure emerged in his mind-Juvia.

"Juvia..." Gray whispered her name.

Thinking of her cute appearance, his mood became inexplicably happy.

However, just as he was immersed in this warmth, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Gray-sama! Are you calling Juvia?"

"Huh!?" Gray was startled for a moment, and turned his head suddenly, only to see Juvia slowly crawling out from under his bed.

She was wearing a cute pajamas, with a satisfied smile on her face, as if she had slept very soundly last night.

"Juvia...you...how come you are under my bed!" Gray was stunned and didn't know how to react at all.

He stared at Juvia's face full of happiness, and was speechless for a while.

Juvia smiled sweetly, looked up at Gray, and said gently:

"Because Gray-sama said that he would respond to Juvia's feelings, Juvia wanted to hear your response as soon as possible, so she left the dormitory and moved here~"

After listening to this, Gray felt helpless and warm in his heart.

Juvia's persistence and sincerity always made him not know how to refuse.

He sighed, slowly approached Juvia, and gently embraced her in his arms.

"You are so...willful." Gray said softly, but there was no blame in his tone, but a little tenderness.

Juvia leaned quietly in Gray's arms, closed her eyes, and felt his warm breath.

Her voice was still soft: "Well, Juvia is willing to do anything for Gray-sama, no matter when and where, as long as it is Gray-sama's decision, Juvia will obey."

Gray hugged her tightly, but his heart was full of complicated emotions.

He had never faced a person so seriously, and he had never felt love so truly.

He lowered his head and whispered, "I... like you, Juvia.

I really like you.

But, unlike Natsu, I can't say the word 'love' so easily.

I want to prepare well and truly love someone, not just on impulse."

Juvia raised her head, her blue eyes full of tenderness and understanding: "Juvia understands, whatever Gray-sama wants to do, Juvia will always be by your side until that day."

"Juvia... why can you always accept me so unconditionally?" Gray's voice was a little moved, he never thought he would be surrounded by such firm emotions.

Juvia's smile became warmer, she raised her hand and gently stroked Gray's face, her voice as soft as water:

"Because, Juvia had already decided when she first met Gray-sama.

You let me see the light of life and let me feel the warmth of the blue sky and sunshine for the first time.

So, no matter what, Juvia will always be by your side."

Gray's heart was filled with an indescribable touch, and the corners of his eyes were unconsciously wet.

He hugged Juvia tightly, feeling her warmth and firmness, and for the first time, he felt so peaceful and happy in his heart.

"I like you too, Juvia, just like you, I like you the most." Gray said softly, his voice full of affection and seriousness.

"Please let me use time to prove that I will say that to you seriously-"

After Gray finished speaking, the throbbing in his heart gradually turned into a firm emotion.

Juvia smiled sweetly, as if melting in his arms: "Well, Juvia will always be by your side, waiting for that day, Gray-sama~"

The sun shines through the window and falls on the two of them.

The warm atmosphere enveloped them, as if time stopped at this moment, and only their heartbeats gently echoed between each other.
