"Everyone, we're back!"
While Macao and the other Fairy Tail's members were waiting in the guild, a long-unheard voice suddenly reached their ears.
Hearing this familiar voice, Macao and the others immediately looked towards the source.
They saw Natsu and Gray standing at the entrance.
Then, one familiar figure after another walked in.
"Natsu!"
"Gray!"
"Everyone…"
At that moment, Macao, Bisca, and the other Fairy Tail's members all rushed forward excitedly.
"Natsu, Gray, you haven't changed at all!"
"Uncle Macao, you're the same as before!"
…
With the return of Natsu, Gray, and the others, the previously somewhat quiet guild instantly became extremely lively.
"Master, to celebrate everyone's return, let's have a party tonight!"
"Alright!"
At that moment, two different voices came from within the guild.
Hearing these voices, Natsu, Gray, and the others all turned their attention to the two who had spoken.
These two were none other than Makarov and Macao.
And Makarov was also looking at Macao.
"Macao, what's going on here?"
"Actually, while Master was away, I was acting as the guild's master!"
Macao said, somewhat embarrassed but also a bit proud.
"Eh?!"
As soon as Macao said this, Natsu, Gray, and the others were all extremely surprised.
"Macao, you're the guild master now?"
"Ah, yes, Kenichi and Erza recommended me for the position!"
"Amazing, Macao actually became the guild master!"
"Not bad at all!"
Hearing everyone's praise, Macao felt quite pleased, then said sheepishly: "Since Master is back, I'll step down now!"
"No, you should continue," Makarov said, crossing his arms and speaking earnestly.
"Really?"
Hearing Makarov's words, Macao was overjoyed.
Bzzzt-
While everyone was chatting and laughing, Makarov seemed to sense something, his old face changing dramatically.
"This is…"
Makarov immediately jumped down from the table, looking outside the guild with a grave expression.
"This Magic Power is terrifying!"
Gildarts also sensed it… he looked outside the guild as if facing a great enemy.
Without any hesitation, Makarov led everyone outside.
Soon, they saw six figures on the street ahead, slowly walking towards them.
Whether it was an illusion or real, the area where the six people were seemed distorted, like asphalt on a hot summer noon.
At this moment, Natsu, Gray, and the others also clearly sensed the immense magic power within these six people.
One of those magical powers was even comparable to Acnologia's from back on Tenrou Island… it was simply frightening.
"Hey, hey, what's with this magic power?"
"This is way too terrifying!"
"Are they even human?"
Just as everyone was feeling despair, a clear, joyful voice suddenly came from the street.
"Everyone!"
Then, Natsu, Gray, and the others noticed a graceful figure running towards them.
As the figure got closer, everyone could see her face clearly.
It was a young woman about eighteen or nineteen years old.
The girl had shoulder-length azure blue hair, fair skin, and delicate features.
A fitted dress perfectly showcased her graceful bust and taut, strong legs.
"Everyone's back!"
The girl looked at Natsu, Gray, and the others, her pretty face full of excitement.
"Who?"
Happy, looking at the beautiful girl before him, looked at Natsu with confusion.
And Natsu also showed an expression of not recognizing her.
"Natsu-san, it's me!"
Seeing that Natsu and Happy didn't recognize her, the girl spoke with some difficulty.
"Could you be…"
Everyone had thought the girl looked somewhat familiar but didn't dare confirm.
But upon hearing the familiar form of address, Natsu, Cana, and the others all exclaimed excitedly: "Wendy?!"
"It's me?!"
After confirmation, everyone was extremely surprised.
"It really is Wendy!"
"She's changed so much!"
"I almost didn't recognize her!"
"If Wendy is back, then those people are…"
At that point, everyone shifted their gaze from Wendy to the five people walking over.
Then, under everyone's excited gaze, the familiar faces of Kenichi, Erza, and Mirajane came into view.
"It's Kenichi and Erza!"
"Mira-nee!"
Seeing it was Kenichi, Erza, and the others, everyone was overjoyed.
And Lisanna immediately rushed towards Mirajane.
"Long time no see, everyone!"
Erza stopped and greeted everyone with a smile.
While Natsu, Gray, and the others crowded around, Makarov and Gildarts looked at Kenichi with disbelief.
"It's truly unbelievable. In just seven years, Kenichi's magic power has grown to such an extent!"
Hearing Makarov, Gildarts also chuckled and said, "As he is now, he could probably defeat me very easily."
As soon as Gildarts finished speaking, Natsu over there excitedly shouted at Kenichi: "Kenichi, let's settle this!"
"Good grief!"
Hearing Natsu, Gildarts shrugged helplessly.
But Kenichi said with a smile: "You've been asleep for seven years. Get your strength back first before saying that."
"Kenichi, I've been curious from the start, who are these two little girls?"
While Kenichi and Natsu were talking, Gray looked at the two little girls beside Kenichi and Erza and asked curiously.
Hearing Gray, Lucy and the others all focused on the two little girls.
Suddenly, Lucy seemed to realize something and said in astonishment: "Don't tell me… these two are your daughters?"
"Daughters?"
Natsu, Gray, and the others all exclaimed loudly.
"Who's the mother? Erza and Mirajane? Or could it be Wendy?"
Natsu widened his eyes, looking at Kenichi, Erza, Mirajane, and Wendy as he spoke.
Hearing Natsu, Mirajane and Erza just smiled.
But Wendy blushed, hurriedly explaining: "N-No, that's not it…"
"These two were created by Kenichi-nii using magic!"
As soon as Wendy finished speaking, Kenichi gestured towards the two little girls with his finger.
Bzzzt-
In the next second, the two little girls transformed into two swords.
Clearly, these two little girls were created by Kenichi using Irene's Enchantment magic.
"So they were created by magic!"
"You all seem disappointed?"
Kenichi raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.
