Fairy Tail: The Fourth Master - Volume 1 Chapter 62

Natsu and Makarov finally went back to the guild hall, where they saw the Fairy Tail members ‘destroying’ the place.

Makarov couldn’t help but shed tears of despair thinking about the amount of jewels needed for the repairs and for medication for the injured.

However Natsu patted him in the shoulders and said, “Let them be. As long as Ultear is in a good mood, they can destroy anything they like.”

“Ultear? The ex-councilor?”

Natsu nodded his head with smile, “With her magic, ‘Arc of Time’ she can reverse the damages done by them and make it look like a brand-new item. We only have to pay for the medicines.”

Makarov beamed in joy as he ‘jumped’ at the bar counter and ordered some beer.

Natsu smiles as he head towards the second floor, and went towards the sleeping beauty wearing a miko outfit.

“Ariel.” Natsu softly called out.

Ariel opened one of her eyes and saw Natsu, causing her to smile and close her eyes once again.

“What is it, master?”

“Can you help me for a bit?”

“Sure.” Then, Ariel opened both of her eyes and waved her hand, a black aura suddenly covered Natsu for a moment before disappearing.

“Thank you.” Ariel nodded her head and went back to sleep.

Natsu smiled and shook his head seeing her actions. Then, looked down on the members below and clapped his hands.

A very loud sound echoed throughout the guild, causing the entire hall to tremble.

The members ceased their movements and glance at the second floor, where Natsu was standing with a smile.

“Listen Fairy Tail. Today is a very joyous day, after seven years, seven years! Our friends…our family, has finally returned,” then he raised his hands and formed an ‘L’ shape with his fingers, “For the tenrou group, for our family who finally came home after seven years of disappearance. Let me say this to you all. Welcome Home!”

The others smiles and also raised their hands, forming a letter ‘L’ with their fingers. Some couldn’t hold back their tears and cried.

Then, they turned their heads towards the tenrou group and loudly declared,

“”WELCOME HOME!””

The tenrou group smiles, some laughed, while some were grinning, then, they also loudly replied,

“”WE’RE HOME!””

….

Night. When almost all Fairy Tail members were too drunk to go home, while the rest who remained are cleaning up the place.

Natsu silently went out of the Guild and head towards the shore of lake Sciliora, where the Fairy Tail guild was previously standing.

A certain white-haired barmaid noticed him leaving and silently followed after him.

Kagura noticed her following Natsu and wanted follow after her, however she was stopped by Ultear and Fiana who only smiles and shook their heads.

Kagura reluctantly stayed in the guild and clean the hall.

However, what they didn’t noticed was a certain knight following after the barmaid.

Natsu can be seen staring at the lake that reflects the figure of the moon with a smile on his face.

“You can come out now.”

Then, a white haired beauty suddenly emerged from the bushes, followed by a scarlet haired knight that was following after the barmaid.

Mira was a bit startled by the sudden appearance of Erza but didn’t dwell on it too much as she walked and stood beside Natsu, while Erza stood a bit far away from him.

“So? Why did you two follow after me?” Natsu asked, not taking his eyes off the lake.

“Well, I-” Mirajane was a bit embarrassed and didn’t know how to answer the question,

Natsu shook his head and then glance at Erza from the corner of his eyes,

“I saw Mira going out of the guild, so I followed after her.” Erza answered as she crossed her arms to ‘support’ her chest.

“Stalker.” Mira spat out an insult as she glared at Erza as if she saw a disgusting person.

Erza narrowed her eyes and glared at her, “You’re not in a position to say that to me, harlot!”

“Tin-can!” Mira insulted back with her eyes glaring at her much fiercer than before.

Natsu smiled and decided to stop them before they destroyed the place, “Alright that’s enough you two.”

“Okay, master~”

Mira quickly stopped and took a step back as she smiled at Natsu. However, Erza moved her glare to Natsu and with a scary expression, she said,

“Back off, Nat-”

However, before he could finished her words, Natsu poked her forehead ‘Uchiha Itachi style’ and smile, causing the knight to lose her fierce expression as she stared at Natsu in a daze.

“You are seven years too young, Erza.” the knight seems to not registered his words as she just stared at him in a daze, however a flick to the forehead from Natsu woke her up.

“Ow~?” she glared at Natsu while holding her forhead in pain.

The past Natsu would’ve already cowered in fear by that glare of hers, but now, he just find it cute.

Natsu smiled and glance at Mira and also flicked her in the forehead, “-and you too. You shouldn’t have insulted her, after all you’re the one who ‘stalked’ me first.”

“Owie~” Mira held her forehead with tears at the corner of her eyes, she then pitifully glared at Natsu.

Natsu just wryly smiles and wiped the tears in her eyes with his thumb, much to the embarrassment of the white-haired ‘demon’.

“Well, I’ll be going now, you two go home as well. Its dangerous for girls to walk around the streets at night.” Natsu said while walking away, leaving the two girls alone, ‘though that only applies to an ordinary girls’ he added.

Mira and Erza stared at his disappearing back before they stared at each other. Suddenly, Mira’s eyebrows twitched in annoyance as a scowl appeared on her face.

“What are you looking at?”

Erza narrowed her eyes and clicked her tongue, “Tsk! I’m looking at you, so what?”

“Tin-can!”

“Why you-!”

Away from them, Natsu was leaning on lamppost with a smile on his face. He, of course, heard them insulting each other, he stayed just in case the two of them decided to fight.

He actually didn’t think that even up to this day, Mira and Erza’s rivalry is still as strong as before.

He crossed his arms and look up in the night sky,

‘Finally, after seven years, everyone is finally back.’
