Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 97: New Year

With a roar...

Evan and the others returned to Magnolia Town...

"Speaking of which, did I forget something"

"Forget it. The things I have forgotten are probably not important..."

Evan sat in front of the guild bar. He looked around at the members of the guild. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't remember what he had forgotten, so he stopped thinking about it.

At the same time, on the Holy Land of the Fairy Tail, Tenrou Island, Gray and Lyon, who were holding the black basketball, and Macao and Wakaba, who were begging for mercy, looked at the disappearing guild and fell into deep thought.

"That, the guild was here just now, right"

Gray looked at Wakaba and asked.

"Probably, maybe, maybe..."

Wakaba was silent for a moment, then used his dry lips to speak softly.

"So, they went back on their own, right"

"We were left on Tenrou Island by them?"

Lyon held the basketball against the black piece and felt the cold wind at night. He fell into deep thought.

"Here comes the question. What should we do now?"

After thinking for a while, Macao asked the three people in front of him.

"..."

The crowd did not answer, but remained silent.

"I remember that the Guild Master and the others came by boat. Since they used magic to go back, the ship that the Guild Master and the others are on should still be near the island..."

At this time, Macao, whose head was still bright, suggested.

"Alright, let's do it this way!"

Lyon, Gray, and Wakaba nodded in agreement after hearing what Macao said.

"Speaking of which, which one of you knows how to sail?"

Wakaba had a cigarette in his mouth as he asked the people around him.

"Hahaha..."

Hearing Wakaba's question, Macao, Lyon, and Gray all laughed.

"Not at all."

"The same..."

"The north is full of icebergs. There is no need for a ship to be used..."

Wakaba, Lyon, and Gray exchanged a few words and answered.

"Is that so? Is this too bad? I don't know how to..."

Macao looked at the three people who were laughing and laughed.

Then, the atmosphere between the four became extremely serious...

Half a month later, close to the end of the year...

Evan and Erza brought Irene out to buy some things.

To put it simply, Evan had always seen the three of them wear the same set of clothes. It was a little strange, so he planned to buy some clothes for the three of them.

Although the three of them were only products of Irene's high-level magic, after all, they had been together for so many years that they had some feelings.

"Speaking of which, it's a little weird..."

After Irene changed into a new set of clothes, she scratched her cheek. Because her original body used to wear a set of same clothes, now that she wore a new set of clothes, she had the illusion that she was wearing a body outside her body.

As for Erza, she was excitedly swinging the rolling pin in her hand. This was her new 'weapon'. At the same time, she was muttering, "It's this feeling. This feeling is amazing!"

"..."

Irene was still silent. She only wanted a scabbard that Evan's promise to give her as a New Year's gift.

"I don't have enough money..."

Evan used the remaining money to customize a set of armor for Erza, then bought a gorgeous dress that looked very suitable for Irene, and then he did not have much money left...

In order to complete the quest quickly, Evan did not care about the feelings of the surrounding environment at all. So much so that after he completed every task, a large amount of money was deducted and used as compensation. The remaining money was already not much...

Although Evan himself did not care much about money.

In fact, like Evan, there was also Guldarts. The total amount of quests he completed every year was calculated by a hundred million, but now he was still living in the small wooden house outside Magnolia Town. It was only because most of the money he completed the quest was used to compensate for the construction damage and the cost of hiring the construction team...

That was why there was a rumor that the Fairy Tail was a guild that supported all the construction teams in the continent.

Fortunately, the Fairy Tail was indeed generous. Every time they did something wrong, they would compensate the residents with a lot of money. Many of the townspeople even made a small profit, so there were no complaints from the residents. This was also the reason why the Fairy Tail had received so many missions.

Just as Evan, Erza, and Irene were preparing to go home with all kinds of New Year goods they had bought.

Along with the sound of water flowing...

Four strange people crawled out of the river beside them.

"Enemy attack! Protect..."

Irene looked at the strange man who crawled out of the river like a drowned rat. She immediately stood in front of Evan and Erza, carefully on guard.

"What enemy attack! Look clearly who I am!"

The four people who climbed out of the river looked at Irene with a grim smile, and then revealed the medal of their guild.

"Not good, Young Master, there are enemies sneaking into our side."

Irene looked at the badges of the Fairy Tail Guild on the four people and immediately turned around, looking at Evan in shock.

"It doesn't matter, Irene. These are not enemies..." At this time, Evan also saw who the four people in front of him were. He smiled and pulled Irene behind him. Then he walked to the front of the four drenched chickens and asked, "Isn't this Macao, Wakaba, Grey, and Lyon? We haven't seen each other for a few days, why have you all jumped into the river? Is it your family that owes you water fees, or is it more popular to swim in the river now?"

"Winter swimming my ass! Why do you think we ended up in such a miserable state?"

Macao looked at Evan with a fake smile and asked.

"I don't know..."

Evan thought for a moment and shook her head.

"Let me give you a hint. Guess who threw us out of the guild when we were on Tenrou Island!"

Wakaba reminded Evan at this time.

"Ah!"

Evan only reacted after getting the hint from Wakaba.

"By the way, I thought I had forgotten something. It turned out that I had forgotten the four of you. I'm really sorry!"

Evan looked at Wakaba and the other three people and suddenly realized.

"You just remembered It has been half a month. Do you know how we got here in the past half month?"

Wakaba, Macao, Lyon, and Grey shouted in unison after hearing Evan's words.

"Regarding this matter, it is indeed my problem. I am really sorry..."

"How about this... I will compensate you with this 10,000 Jewels!"

"Go and drink a cup of hot soup to warm up!" As Evan spoke, he placed the remaining 10,000 Jewels into Wakaba's hand. Then, he smiled and waved at the four of them, saying, "That's it then. Goodbye!"

After saying that, Evan seemed to have thought of something and gave her blessings to the four of them, "Oh right, I wish you all a happy new year..."

"Oh..."

"Happy New Year..."

"Happy New Year..."

Hearing this, Wakaba, Macao, and the others immediately gave their blessings to Evan. At the same time, they looked at Erza, Irene, and the others as well.

Then, the few of them waved goodbye and returned to their respective homes...

Wakaba and Macao held the 10,000 Jewels that Evan had given them in their hands as they walked towards their homes happily. Halfway there, their figures suddenly stopped...

"Something is wrong. This is 10,000 Jewels, right? Didn't we agree that it would cost at least 100,000 Jewels?"

"Yes! Yes! That's why..."

"Bastard Evan, we were tricked by him again..."

Wakaba and Macao finally reacted, tears falling from their eyes.
