The Fairy Tail Guild.
Everyone was still brawling and messing around, and a reporter with a strange hairstyle was running around inside the Guild, taking pictures of the Fairy Tail Magus.
Lucy kept chasing him, hoping to be photographed, but as soon as the reporter saw a Fairy Tail Magus, he would quickly rush forward for an interview, leaving Lucy to miss out.
"Fairy Queen, how many sets of armor do you have?"
"Hmm, about 1000 sets."
"Cool!!!!"
"Miss Mira, you've once again topped this issue's Magic Weekly cover girl, do you have anything to say?"
"Thank you for your support, hehe~"
"Cool!!!!"
"Natsu, I heard you were raised by a fire dragon?"
However, Natsu, who was brawling with Gray, accidentally punched the reporter away, but even so, he didn't forget to shout.
"Cool!!!!"
"Gray, I heard you often take off your clothes?"
"Who said that? It makes me sound like a pervert... Huh! Where are my clothes?!"
"Uh... Cool..."
The reporter successively interviewed several Magus, and no matter how Lucy tried to attract attention, she was always overshadowed by others.
Even the little blue cat Happy was interviewed.
"Happy, why do you like to eat fish?"
"Because I'm a cat! Aye sir!"
Lucy's inner world was collapsing; what was all this?!
The reporter interviewed Makarov, who wore the Saint Ten Great Magus title on his person.
"Master, what is the dream of Fairy Tail?"
"Of course, it's to have more young ladies... Cough cough! To have more young people advance on the right path."
"Cool!!!!"
Lucy was already too weak to complain, but just as Lucy was about to take off her clothes to attract attention, the reporter ran towards the Guild door even faster.
"Escanor, you're Escanor, right? Can I interview you?! I'm your biggest fan!"
"Eh!! Escanor is back!"
"Yay! It's Escanor!"
"You brat, you finally came back!"
...
Mira and Erza, the two women, stepped forward, "Welcome back~" "Mm, I'm back."
As soon as Escanor returned to the Guild, before he could even speak, he saw a figure flash, instantly rushing in front of him. This speed almost made him prepare to act, until he heard that he was there to interview him, then he lowered his guard.
At this moment, Makarov saw that the reporter who had just interviewed him was now distracted by Escanor, so he subtly walked over to Escanor's side.
"Cough cough! Escanor only became so powerful under this old man's guidance. This old man still has many cultivation insights... Cough cough..."
The reporter listened with sparkling eyes!
"Master, please say a few more words!"
Looking at Makarov, who was surrounded by the reporter, Escanor gave a wry smile and followed Mira and Erza into the Guild.
"Escanor! Let's duel, I've gotten much stronger!"
Natsu saw Escanor return and rushed over impatiently.
"Natsu, you're still so energetic. Hmm, you've gotten stronger, but let's skip the duel..."
Before he could finish speaking, Natsu rushed forward with fire spurting from his feet. Escanor casually slapped him, and Natsu was directly slammed into the ground.
"I told you, no dueling. Fine, come on, I'll take a few moves with you."
"It's already over..."
"Winner, Escanor, Aye sir!~"
Happy stretched out his cat paw and announced.
Laxus on the second floor of the Guild looked at the noisy crowd downstairs and the returned Escanor. A wisp of dark aura flashed from his eyes, and he left with a cold expression.
"Oh!" Escanor seemed to sense something and looked up, but found nothing.
"Did I overthink it?"
The crowd surrounded Escanor, chattering and asking what happened after the Tower of Paradise.
Seeing the crowd surrounding him and asking questions, one after another, Escanor could only look at them with a wry smile.
"This is much more tiring than fighting."
Makarov, whose interview desires had been satisfied, walked over with a refreshed look.
"You brat, tell me, where have you been these past few days?"
"Nowhere, just found a secluded place to heal my injuries. Aren't I all better now?"
"Now, do you still have any problems?"
"Completely healed," he said, patting his chest to show his strength.
Seeing this, everyone felt relieved and left.
"Grandpa, has anything happened in the Guild recently?"
"Something? No, it's still the same as usual."
"What about strangers?"
"None either, they're all people from the town. What's wrong, did something happen?"
"No, maybe I overthought it."
"Hmm, if you're tired, go back and get some good rest. There are a few hundred-year quests that you might need to go on later."
"It's fine, what hundred-year quests? Should I go now?"
"Not for now. The Fairy Tail Festival is about to start soon. We'll talk about it after that, no rush."
Seeing Makarov say this, Escanor also let it be.
Afterward, Escanor returned to his home, accompanied by Mira and Erza.
A brief separation makes the reunion sweeter; the joy within is not for outsiders to know.
After their passion, Mira and Erza quietly leaned against Escanor's chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat.
"My dear, it's so good that you're back."
Escanor kissed the foreheads of the two women.
"Mm, I won't leave again. No one can take you away from me."
...
In another part of Fairy Tail, in a house, Laxus and the three Thunder God Tribe members were present.
"Laxus, do we really have to do this?"
"Yes, I want to revolutionize Fairy Tail. I want to weed out all those useless people."
"But Mira and Erza are both very strong, and besides, Escanor has also returned to the Guild. We don't stand a chance."
"If it were just Mira and Erza, I wouldn't care, but I didn't expect Escanor to return unharmed. But it doesn't matter, the plan is still under control."
"Whatever Laxus's decision is, I, Freed, will definitely complete it with all my might."
"Very good, Freed, take this. It can strengthen your magical power."
Laxus took out a black magic crystal glowing red from his Pregnant.
"What is this?"
"When you cast your magic, use this crystal as a medium. Then, even Escanor won't be able to break the magic barrier."
"But I don't think that's safe. Escanor's power is far beyond our imagination."
"It doesn't matter. When he gets out of the trap, we'll have hostages. He's a very emotional person; he won't dare to move freely. And, I now possess power that can contend with him."
"Laxus, that mysterious black mist person, I don't think he's a good person. You need to be careful of his power, what if..."
"Shut up! As long as there's powerful strength, that's all that matters. No one can defy me."
"What about Master's side...?"
A hint of struggle appeared in Laxus's eyes, but after a flash of dark aura, he returned to his cold and ruthless demeanor.
"That old man has occupied the Master's position for too long. It's about time he retired."
"But..."
"No buts! If you don't want to participate, shut up and get out now."
Seeing this, the three Thunder God Tribe members said nothing more.
A conspiracy surrounding Fairy Tail was quietly unfolding.
