"I will do my best."
Mystogan's expression was serious.
Finding a way to bring people back to Edolas together had already become his main research topic going forward.
Of course, he would not abandon the matter of countering "Anima".
The reason Mystogan was following Marco, Makarov and Wendy back to the guild this time was just to familiarize himself with the place.
Afterwards, he would continue traveling around the world to deal with the Anima.
Mystogan would not be staying at Fairy Tail permanently.
*****
The group of four left Cait Shelter and soon arrived at Clover Town.
They bought train tickets for a direct route to Onibus.
The reason they didn't choose to return directly to Magnolia was of course because Marco still needed to complete his mission request.
"Perfect timing. I heard the Scheherazade Theater Company is performing and other famous theater companies have come too. We can watch some shows in Onibus before heading back. It's been a while since we've gone to see any."
On the train, Makarov enthusiastically talked about the theater company performances.
As the "City of Theater", Onibus had a very famous large theater.
Famous theater companies from the Kingdom of Fiore often came here to perform.
There might even be theater companies renowned across the entire Ishgar continent coming.
At those times, Onibus would become very lively and it had even formed into a regular festival.
"Master, are plays fun to watch?" Wendy asked Makarov curiously.
"Of course. It's not just plays, there are all kinds of performances. It's very interesting. How about I take you all to watch it?" Makarov spoke to Wendy with a kind expression.
That little brat Marco could go submit his mission, while he could take Wendy and Mystogan to watch the theater company performances!
"Okay!" Wendy happily agreed.
Children's emotions come and go quickly.
Wendy had already moved past the sadness of parting and now she was more excited about watching a play.
As for Mystogan, he didn't have much interest in theater performance.
He was under a lot of pressure and had no time for entertainment.
Makarov had some objections to this.
He felt that too much pressure was actually detrimental to progress on matters and that people must learn to balance work and rest.
Marco shook his head with a smile.
Some things can't be forced.
Without putting down the burdens on his shoulders, that guy Mystogan wouldn't be able to relax.
Now they knew that Mystogan's identity was very noble - he was the prince of the human kingdom of Edolas and his father, that king, was the instigator of all this.
That's why Mystogan was under such great pressure.
He felt he had to bear a share of his father's sins.
For every person harmed by "Anima", he would shoulder a portion of that guilt.
This sense of responsibility was truly admirable, but he was indeed living a very sad life.
Marco understood that only by completely ending all of this could Mystogan return to normal and they would do their utmost to help Mystogan!
Holding the newly obtained "Cloth Repair Manual" in his hands, Marco carefully studied it, absorbing knowledge about repairing Cloths.
In fact, it didn't just contain methods for repairing Cloths, but also ways to strengthen Cloths using items like "God's Blood".
This "Cloth Repair Manual" was extremely useful, practically a user manual for Cloths.
It also clearly indicated other functions of Cloths besides those basic abilities.
When Marco's compatibility with a certain Cloth was high enough, putting on that Cloth would allow him to use the special skills of that constellation, even if Marco himself hadn't mastered them.
And after he mastered a constellation's skill, wearing that constellation's Cloth would further enhance the skill.
In short, Cloths came with built-in skills and could also mutually enhance skills.
The effects were indeed quite powerful.
This made Marco's heart race with excitement.
He felt the Equuleus Bronze Cloth should be ready soon.
Perhaps because Equuleus and Pegasus were adjacent constellations, he could vaguely feel enhancement when using Pegasus Meteor Fist and it could also help him establish a connection with Equuleus.
'Lets keep reading it!'
Adding more motivation in his heart, Marco continued reading with great interest.
*****
The train traveled on, passing several stations before arriving at Onibus.
"We've finally arrived. Onibus has indeed become lively."
As the group got off the train, they could already feel the bustling atmosphere of Onibus at the station.
Many people had come from other cities to watch the performances.
Onibus station was crowded with tourists everywhere as it was very packed.
The on-duty guards were working hard to maintain order at the station.
"It's much more crowded than when I came last time. Is it because it's close to the time of the drama festival? It's really lively."
Seeing this situation, Marco couldn't help but marvel.
The Kingdom of Fiore was not small, with a population of 17 million.
As long as there was a bit of popularity, it could attract quite a few tourists.
With the drama festival being so popular, it was normal for Onibus to be this crowded.
Marco directly picked up Wendy on his back, lest she get lost in the crowd.
Then he squeezed out of the station together with Makarov and Mystogan, which took quite some effort.
Although they had plenty of strength and methods, they really couldn't use them in this situation.
He couldn't just use a "Pegasus Meteor Fist" to send people flying.
If Marco did something like that, Makarov would be the first to send him flying.
"I'm definitely not coming next time!"
As soon as they squeezed out of the crowd, Makarov angrily shouted.
Marco looked at him and couldn't help but be amused.
Makarov's body, especially his back, had several large footprints.
He had probably been kicked by others in the crowd.
He had picked up Wendy, but forgot about the equally short Makarov.
Of course, Makarov definitely wouldn't feel comfortable asking someone to carry him.
If he cared, he could have just used magic to turn himself into a giant, but that would have been a bit too much.
"Marco-san, you can put me down now."
Wendy, lying on Marco's back, said softly.
Her little face was flushed red, looking somewhat excited.
She had clearly been affected by the lively atmosphere of Onibus.
It really was very bustling here.
Marco crouched down, letting Wendy get off his back.
Next they would be splitting up.
He needed to go submit the mission request first, then meet up with everyone at the theater.
Shouldering his bag that was bulging with "magic horns", Marco said goodbye to the three and walked towards the client's estate.
*****
In a corner, several gazes fell on Marco, their magic power surging.
