Fairy Tail: The Fourth Master - Volume 1 Chapter 58
Magnolia, Fairy Tail guild hall.
The whole guild was strangely silent, no one was speaking a word, even the modt rowdiest of the bunch did not dare to open their mouths.
Suddenly, the door opens, and every member look towards the door in anticipation, however, they quickly turned their heads away when they saw who walks in.
It was a voluptuous woman with dark-purple gair and red eyes, she look around the guild and found it strangely quiet.
“Ara~? The guild is rather silent today, what happened?” The woman asks as she made her way towards Kagura and Fiana who are sitting in the bar counter, eating some cakes.
“Well, they have some news about the Tenrou Group, the whole guild are rather nervous whether they’ll return or not.” Fiana answered as she put a piece of blueberry cake in her mouth.
“Oh? I see. That’s a good news indeed.” Ultear smiled and ordered a strawberry cake, “Have any of you inform Natsu-sama already?”
“Yeah, Warren did.” Kagura replied and ordered a milkshake, she likes to drink it after eating a cake.
Just after she finish her words, the door bursts open, a group of people walks in.
Everyone quickly recognized them as smiles appeared in their face,
“Everyone! We’re back!”
The members were quiet for a few seconds before erupting to cheers. The Tenrou Group are finally back, after seven years.
“”OOOOOHHHHH!!””
“Welcome back guys!!”
“You’ve been inactive for seven years! Its good to have you all back!”
“Order what you like! Its my treat today!”
“You don’t even have money! Stop boasting!”
Seeing their reactions, Ultear smiled and raised her voice, “Alright, order what you like, its our treat!” She loudly declared while pointing at herself then to Kagura and Fiana.
“”OOOHHH!!””
“Everybody thank lady Ultear, lady Kagura, and lady Fiana!”
The tenrou group glance at the new members of Fairy Tail and began to greet them.
Gray however, was stunned when he saw Ultear, “Ultear?! You join Fairy Tail?!”
Ultear smiled and nodded her head, “That’s right, didn’t expect that did you? I hope you aren’t mad at me for what I did to you and your friends.”
“No, no! Its okay, I’m not mad.” he smiled and scratched the back of his head, “Well, its nice that you change your ways, let’s get along well. We’re one family now.”
On the other side of the hall.
“Meredy-chan!” Juvia exclaimed as she smiled and hugged the pink haired girl.
“Juvia!” Meredy also hug her back with a smile on her face.
On Makarov side.
“Fiana! The little gal that I used to know is now all grown up, why are you here, could it be that you joined Fairy Tail?”
“Nope!” Fiana answered as she grinned, “You know me well old-chibi, I’m not interested in joining any guild, besides the council won’t allow that.”
All sorts of conversation were happening in the guild, the previous silent hall disappeared as if it never happened.
Now, chairs, tables, plates, even people are being thrown away.
However, a suffocating pressure suddenly caused the guild hall to turn silent.
Everyone moved their gaze and saw Kagura, with her hand on the handle of the sword, facing Erza in the middle of the hall.
“You are her right? The Titania, Erza Scarlet, the one who my brother, died to protect.”
Erza was actually calm and composed despite the dangerous feeling coming from Kagura, however, when she heard the last part of the sentence, her body frozed as she stared at Kagura in shock.
“..brother?…Simon?..”
“So you still remember him,” Kagura said as the seal that binds her sword fell off and her aura increased by several times, causing the hall to shake.
“You’re a swordswoman right? Draw your blades, let’s see whether you deserve your title as the Queen of Fairies.”
However, Erza remained unmoved, she just stared at Kagura in a daze, as if she did not hear her words.
“That’s enough Kagura.” With those words, the pressure suddenly disappeared as if it was never there.
All of them lifted their heads, and saw a beautiful woman wearing a miko outfit looking down at them from the second floor.
“Ariel.” Kagura narrowed her eyes but did not move, “Are you going to stop me? Don’t bother, you can’t stop me. I want to know what’s so special about this woman that my brother gave his life to protect her.”
Ariel smiled, “True, I can’t stop you, but ‘he’ can.”
Hearing those words, Ultear and Fiana let out an alluring smirk, while Kagura sealed her sword once again, and sat at one of the chair.
But this time, a smile present on her face. She stared at Ariel and ask, “Are you sure?”
“Un,” Ariel nodded and tapped her ears, “I can hear him. ‘He’s’ getting closer.”
The tenrou group was confused, they look around and saw some members taking out a bucket of water and splash themselves with it, some even used a cold beer to make their body wet.
“Who’s he?” Gray ask.
The Fairy Tail members remained quiet and just smile at them,
Then, Mirajane seems to notice something, she look around the guild, and couldn’t find a certain dragon-slayer.
“By the way, where’s Natsu?”
As those words left her mouth, the temperature suddenly began to rise rapidly.
Some of them began to sweat except for those who are stronger ones. Then, after awhile, even Laxus, Erza, and Mira began to sweat.
The heat was getting harder to bear.
Only Gildarts and Makarov are left in the Tenrou Group who has yet to sweat, though the heat is really getting uncomfortable.
“Damn, just who is this person? Such a strong magic power, even I am getting afraid to face this person.” Gildarts said as he took a mug of beer and drank it in one go.
Then, a loud ‘BOOM’ was heard outside the guild that causes the entire hall to tremble.
The temperature also began to decrease after the explosion, causing everyone to heave a sigh of relief.
Then, Ariel smirks as her voice echoed throughout the guild,
“LADIES AND GENTLEMAN FROM THE TENROU GROUP. LET US PRESENT TO YOU, A MEMBER OF TEN WIZARD SAINTS, ONE OF THE FOUR GODS OF ISHGAR…”
“…AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE PILLAR AND BACKBONE OF THE GUILD, THE FAIRY TAIL’S FOURTH MASTER…”
“…NATSU DRAGNEEL!”
