"That… um…" She didn't seem to know what to say.
Mirajane simply covered her small face.
Attempting to hide her shy face.
Even Erza, who was sitting by Finn's bedside, was shocked in place.
The spoon with the porridge was pressed against Finn's cheek.
Her arm was unconsciously tensing up from nervousness.
Erza's face turned red at an alarming rate.
"Erza… the spoon is against my face…" Finn said, reminding her in pain.
"Ah!" Hearing Finn's words, Erza hurriedly put down the bowl and spoon.
She suddenly stood up and bowed deeply.
"Th-that… I'm still… a first-time bride… Please be gentle…" She stammered.
Seeing Erza like this, even Finn's mouth dropped open.
"Um… I…" Finn's old face also turned red for the first time.
Even he didn't know what to say at this moment.
"These people's reactions… are too much, aren't they?" Nancy shook her head speechlessly.
The meal ended in this strange atmosphere.
Until lunchtime was over, Erza and Mirajane's faces were still red.
So the two of them made an excuse and left the infirmary one after another.
Even Nancy was called out by Carla.
Leaving Finn alone to look at the ceiling in the infirmary.
To be honest, Finn was a little tempted by Nancy's words just now.
"Marriage, huh…" Finn murmured.
Five more days passed in a flash.
The people drifting at sea finally saw the light of the city.
In an instant, a group of listless people came to the bow of the ship.
Countless tearful eyes looked at the pier in front.
"It's a city! It's a city!" Happy said excitedly, pointing his little paw at the front.
"Drifting on the sea for so many days isn't a man's behavior!"
Elfman also excitedly pounded his chest, shouting words that people couldn't understand.
But no one was in the mood to complain.
Makarov stood at the bow of the ship with great interest, shouting, "Quickly steer the ship~ over there, quickly steer it over there!"
Heaven knows how these people had survived these ten days.
If everyone wasn't a powerful mage.
And didn't have to worry about food.
Otherwise, they might have starved to death at sea.
As the pier got closer and closer, everyone's faces showed excitement.
Even Finn wasn't surprised.
Of course, except for some guys who were too seasick and had been admitted to the intensive care unit.
Because they were still unconscious.
Natsu and the others had gone in the day Finn had come out…
————
Magnolia, inside the Fairy Tail guild.
At this moment, the guild had a different atmosphere from the usual bustle.
The atmosphere was very heavy, and there were fewer people in the guild than before.
No news had been received for nearly ten days.
This had almost confirmed that the Tenrou Island team had been wiped out.
Although no one said it, this had been quietly spreading in the guild.
Some people with weak wills had even begun to plan to find the next powerful guild.
Although most people in Fairy Tail had joined because Fairy Tail valued their companions so much.
But it was undeniable.
Fairy Tail was the strongest guild in the Kingdom of Fiore.
And some people had come for the name of Fairy Tail.
After all, the name of the strongest guild could still bring a lot of convenience and benefits.
In addition, Fairy Tail had lenient conditions for joining. Anyone, as long as they stood on the side of light.
Could be approved to join the guild.
So there were quite a few people like this.
At this moment, Macao was sitting at the bar with a worried expression.
He was holding a resignation request in his hand.
Macao didn't know how many times he had encountered this kind of thing in the past two days.
Just looking at the stack of requests next to him showed how many there were.
After all, the main force of the guild wasn't there, so Macao, the most senior member, had become the temporary head.
Macao's gaze fell on the last word of the request.
The hand holding the document unconsciously tightened.
Bang—!!
Macao slammed his fist angrily on the table.
"These damn guys!" He said through gritted teeth.
Wakaba, who was next to him, exhaled the smoke he had just inhaled, and his expression also had a hint of melancholy.
"Macao, don't be angry. These guys' hearts aren't here."
"I just especially look down on people like this," Macao said angrily.
"They were very happy when they were enjoying the convenience under the name of Fairy Tail."
"Now that Fairy Tail is in trouble, they want to leave without hesitation?"
The more Macao spoke, the angrier he became.
Purple flames ignited in his hand, directly burning it to ashes.
"These guys, how long has it been?"
"It hasn't even been confirmed what happened to Master and the others, and they can't sit still anymore, hmph!"
Wakaba also sighed, picking up the request on the table and looking at it.
"There are probably other guilds involved in this matter."
"After all, there were too many people who were jealous of our guild. Now that they've seized the opportunity, they want to step on us hard."
He said slowly, stating his guess.
Macao finally made his decision, "Since they want to leave so much, let's just agree."
"Anyway, these people don't have any feelings for Fairy Tail. Forcing them to stay might lead to them doing something that harms Fairy Tail in the future."
Wakaba also nodded, "Then let's announce it publicly."
Soon, on the central stage of Fairy Tail, Macao announced this decision.
"So, whoever wants to leave, stand up, and I'll help you erase the Fairy Tail mark."
Macao's gaze swept over the people present, his expression serious.
"But those who leave Fairy Tail will never be able to return to this guild!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion immediately broke out in the crowd below.
"Macao, don't worry. We'll never leave the guild!" Jet said with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah, and Master might be back tomorrow," Warren said, not caring at all.
"Anyway, we won't leave the guild, right Alzack!" Bisca said, looking at Alzack next to her.
Alzack also smiled, "Of course. We'll definitely wait for Master and Finn to return!"
Juvia in the crowd also didn't care.
Although she had only joined this guild recently.
But she had seen the unity of the guild members.
At this moment, she didn't believe that anyone would abandon Fairy Tail in times of crisis.
Laki, wearing glasses, looked around. Her heart seemed to have some bad premonitions.
Sure enough, someone raised their hand and spoke.
