In the tavern, the lights flickered.

The members of Fairy Tail sat together, the aroma of wine was overflowing, and laughter filled the air.

On the table, the glasses clinked and cheers continued.

"Cheers!!!"

Natsu grabbed the glass in his hand, jumped on the table, and shouted loudly.

"Hahaha, first place in the preliminaries! Well done!" Makao raised his glass with a smile.

"Hehe, A-level is greater than S-level!" Natsu looked proud and laughed.

"Smelly boy——"

Laxus sat aside, his eyes were calm, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Wendy held the juice, blinked her eyes, and asked curiously: "But it's so strange, shouldn't you guys, Laxus, arrive soon?"

Laxus frowned slightly, and after a moment, he said lightly: "It was originally like this, but we were ambushed by a mysterious person."

The lively sound of the tavern stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at him.

Even the carefree Natsu didn't interrupt and listened attentively.

"A sneak attack?" Gray raised his eyebrows, his eyes slightly sharp.

"Yes, that guy was wearing a black robe, and his face was completely invisible... He suddenly appeared and used some magic to teleport us to another place."

Laxus's voice was low and a little puzzled.

"Only teleport? He didn't attack you directly?" Natsu frowned and asked with a puzzled look.

"Well, he could have sent us directly out of the aerial maze, but he didn't do it.

It feels like..." Laxus paused, "He just wanted to slow us down."

"It's really inexplicable." Gray crossed his hands in front of his chest, thinking.

Makarov gently stroked his beard on the side, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"First Wendy was attacked by surprise, and then the space magic of this black-robed man... We have to be careful."

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the tavern became solemn instantly.

The smiles of Natsu, Gray and others gradually disappeared, and their eyes became calm and alert.

Makarov stood up slowly and announced solemnly: "In this case, from today on, all members of Fairy Tail will live here.

Be careful in everything."

"Oh!" Everyone responded in unison, and the originally heavy atmosphere became lively again with a cheer.

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and whispered: "It feels much more reassuring that everyone lives together."

Cana raised her glass and replied drunkenly: "Yes! I want to see who dares to sneak attack us!"

"Man! Men should live together!" Elfman shouted with a smile.

"Can you be quiet..." Gray sighed and glanced at Elfman.

The tavern was still lively, and the sound of people drinking and chatting came one after another.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man approached Makarov timidly, stretched out his trembling hand and gently patted his shoulder.

"Um... Mr. Makarov?"

The middle-aged man spoke cautiously, with a bit of nervousness in his voice.

"Hmm?"

Makarov squinted his eyes and turned to look at him. He was slightly drunk, but his eyes were still sharp.

"Who are you?" He asked in a puzzled tone.

"I am... I am the manager of this tavern..." The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead and dodged his eyes.

"Oh, the manager. What's the matter?"

Makarov's tone was relaxed, and the smile was still on his face.

"Um, sorry, I want to ask... about the cost of tonight..."

The manager's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he was afraid of disturbing this group of powerful wizards.

"Cost?"

Makarov blinked, and it seemed that the effect of alcohol made him a little slow for half a beat.

Then, he waved his hand, speaking casually as if discussing something trivial,

"Oh, just put it on the account of the Ishgar Empire."

"Huh?"

The store manager looked at him blankly, obviously not reacting to this sudden answer.

"What do you mean... you mean... the Ishgar Empire?" The store manager's voice was uncertain and shocked.

Makarov frowned in dissatisfaction, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became a little impatient:

"Do you think I'm lying to you?"

"That's... that's not the case..."

The store manager waved his hand hurriedly, smiling, and the cold sweat on his forehead began to flow faster.

Makarov laughed, took another sip of wine, and patted the store manager on the shoulder, as if joking but also stating the fact:

"The current rulers of Ishgar were all raised by me since childhood! Do you think I am short of money?"

"Oh... is that so..."

The store manager smiled awkwardly, still looking confused, not knowing how to respond.

Then, Makarov changed the subject and suddenly looked serious: "That's right! I just simply... don't want toJust pay!"

"Huh?"

The store manager's expression froze instantly, his eyes widened, and he couldn't understand the president's change of mind at all.

"The president is right!!!"

Natsu on the side was happy to hear this, and suddenly raised his glass and responded loudly, as if he had just heard some great news.

Laxus shook his head, his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything, just took a sip of wine.

There was laughter in the tavern, and the members of Fairy Tail were in high spirits, and they all laughed with Natsu.

"Hahaha, long live the president!"

"What's the wine money!! Just have fun!"

Store manager: "......?" ”

——

Moonlit night.

The door of the tavern was gently closed, and the moonlight fell on the streets of Kurokas like water.

Laxus stood in front of the door, wearing a black cloak and looking particularly cold.

He stood there, looking up at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and recalled the strange magic in his heart.

"That kind of magic... suddenly appeared, suddenly transferred, space magic... but why, it feels like it is mixed with the breath of dragon-killing magic.

He murmured in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The golden lightning light jumped gently in his hands, like silent thunder, foreshadowing the anger in his heart.

"No matter who you are... dare to come again, I will not hesitate to... destroy you."

Laxus's voice was low and cold, his right fist clenched, and the lightning light became brighter.

In the darkness in the distance, a black-robed figure watched him silently.

Her breath was full of sadness and pain. Even if her face could not be seen clearly, it still made people feel extremely depressed.

"Why..."

She whispered in a low voice, her eyes full of disbelief.

The slender figure gradually disappeared into the night, and a strand of golden hair emerged from the black robe, which was particularly dazzling in the moonlight.

However, even so, Laxus was completely unaware of her existence.

The dark magic on her body seemed to cover all detection in the darkness.

(As mentioned in the previous article, people who travel through time cannot actively detect unless they actively reveal their identities.

As for whether this person is the same person as the one who attacked Laxus, well, let's read on =-=)
