The location for issuing the 100-Year Quest is located on the Guiltina Continent.
This continent is different from Ishgar and the Western Continent… it's a brand new continent.
It lies to the north of the Western Continent.
Although the journey from the Fairy Tail Guild to Guiltina is long, fortunately, Kenichi and his group have a magic airship.
Zooming in on the magic airship, we see Wendy and Erza leaning against the deck railing, admiring the scenery of the sea below.
Erza had already taken off her silver-white armor and changed into a light purple bikini. Her graceful figure and shapely, long legs were completely exposed to the air.
Wendy beside Erza was also wearing a cute swimsuit.
The two beauties, one tall and one small, standing together gave off a feeling of overflowing youth.
"Erza, the scenery over the sea is really beautiful!"
Wendy, with one hand holding the railing and the other pointing at the sea below, had a face full of excitement.
Seeing Wendy so excited, Erza casually brushed the vibrant red hair on her cheek, a smile appearing on her face.
While Erza and Wendy were looking at the sea, Kenichi was lying on a chair in the center of the deck, enjoying everything.
After who knows how long, Mirajane came out from the cabin holding a tray.
"Here you go!"
"Thank you, Mira-san!"
Wendy took the glass of juice Mirajane handed over, thanked her with a smile, and then said happily, "It feels like we're on vacation!"
Hearing Wendy's words, Kenichi spoke up from over there: "We are on vacation!"
"Huh? Aren't we here to do the 100-Year Quest?"
Wendy blinked her big eyes, looking at Kenichi with confusion.
"The 100-Year Quest is a mission that no one has been able to complete for a hundred years. We're not in a hurry, so we can do the quest while on vacation!"
"You're sure taking it easy. If Gildarts knew you were approaching the 100-Year Quest with this mindset, he'd be furious!"
Erza turned around, resting one hand on her hip as she spoke to Kenichi.
Indeed, Gildarts worked on the 100-Year Quest for three years, only to end in failure and return severely injured.
For Gildarts, this quest was a journey of despair.
But here was Kenichi, treating it like a vacation.
With this contrast, it's no wonder Erza said that.
"Ara, it's the sea. Have we already left Ishgar?"
While Kenichi and Erza were talking, Mirajane put away her tray and, looking at the boundless sea below, asked cheerfully.
"Correct. Once we cross this sea, we'll reach the Guiltina Continent!"
Hearing Kenichi's words, Erza looked at him with surprise. "You know quite a lot. Have you been to sea before?"
Kenichi didn't hide it and said directly, "I originally came from the Western Continent."
"Eh? Kenichi-nii, you're not from Ishgar?" Wendy was astonished.
But Erza and Mirajane weren't surprised at all.
On the contrary, hearing Kenichi reveal his origins made Erza quite curious.
"Alzack in our guild is also from the Western Continent!"
Mirajane said to Kenichi with a smile, stretching her arms out and clasping her hands together.
Perhaps Mirajane's action was unconscious, but her already impressive bust, under the pressure of her arms, appeared even more prominent.
Wendy, seeing this scene, widened her eyes. Then she glanced at Erza, looked at herself, and felt as if an arrow had struck her heart.
Kenichi also noticed Wendy's expression and shook his head with a smile.
…
The magic airship sailed slowly over the sea. After Kenichi, Erza, and the others had enjoyed enough of the maritime scenery, the airship arrived at their destination, the Guiltina Continent.
Although Guiltina and Ishgar are only separated by a sea, the difference between the two continents is very large, as if they were two different worlds.
Kenichi, Erza, and the others disembarked from the airship and walked on the land of Guiltina.
Looking around, all the plants and animals were ones never seen in Ishgar.
Furthermore, white crystals continuously drifted down from the sky.
The white crystals looked like snow, but in reality, it wasn't snow… it was Magic Power.
Solidified Magic Power.
Seeing this, even with Erza's composure, she marveled at how abundant Magic Power was in Guiltina, reaching such a level.
"The client for the 100-Year Quest is from a guild called Magia Dragon!"
"It's said this guild is the earliest mage guild in Earthland!"
Mirajane took out the request form and spoke to Kenichi, Erza, and the others.
"The earliest mage guild? That means it's even older than our Fairy Tail!"
"That's strange. What kind of quest did such a guild commission that even Gildarts was helpless?"
Hearing Mirajane's words, Erza rested her chin on her hand and pondered.
Kenichi knew the content of the 100-Year Quest, but he didn't say it out loud. He just said to Erza, "We'll reach the destination soon. We'll know the quest details when we meet the client."
The group traveled at a leisurely pace, maintaining their vacation mood, and finally arrived at the Magia Dragon Guild marked on the request form.
Looking at it, the entire guild building resembled an ancient castle.
And on top of that castle's roof, coiled a statue of a giant dragon, looking extremely majestic.
It's just that the entire castle was severely aged and didn't seem to have been maintained for a long time.
"We're here!"
Mirajane stopped and said softly, looking at the ancient building in front of them.
"It looks really ancient!" Wendy remarked, looking at the building.
Then, Kenichi led Erza, Mirajane, and Wendy directly inside the guild.
After pushing open the heavy door, the guild was empty, exceptionally quiet.
But soon, a voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears: "Ninth Platoon of Braves, welcome!"
The voice didn't sound very loud, but it was unsettling, like the low growl of a giant beast.
Hearing the voice, Kenichi, Erza, and the others all looked towards the source.
They saw a giant dragon coiled above the great hall.
"A dragon?!"
Not long ago, Erza, Mirajane, and the others had encountered Acnologia's attack on Tenrou Island.
Now, seeing another dragon, Erza and Mirajane instinctively became wary.
But Kenichi, looking at this dragon, felt a surge of joy: "Finally, I meet you, Dragon Elefseria!"
