Chapter 145

【Mavis's voice was not loud, but it was still deafening.】

【"But... are we just going to ignore the teacher who went to such a dangerous place alone?"】

【Yuri clenched his fists.】

【"Who said we're ignoring him?"】

【Mavis looked straight at Yuri!】

【"We can wait until we have completely liberated Magnolia, and take this opportunity to train our magic well, and then go to the Galaxy Empire to help the teacher."】

【"By then, a stronger us will definitely be able to be a help to the teacher!"】

【...】

【On the other side, Black Natsu was walking alone in the forest.】

【Regarding this rash intervention in the affairs of this era.】

【Even Black Natsu didn't know what kind of impact it would have.】

【But, just as he thought before.】

【Perhaps... everything is fate.】

【Perhaps in the dark, he was supposed to come to this era.】

【Do something, and then leave quietly.】

【Black Natsu, who had reached the edge of the forest, stopped.】

【Turning around, he looked into the distance at the town named Magnolia.】

【"The birth of Fairy Tail shouldn't be long now, right?"】

【"It's a pity, I can't participate, otherwise... if my photos or something were passed down to the era I exist in, what would happen?"】

【Thinking about it seems quite interesting, but it's an unrealistic possibility.】

【Being able to rashly intervene in the affairs of this era is already outrageous enough; it's better to try not to leave any photos or records.】

【Moreover, Black Natsu believes that Mavis can do it.】

【Crusading against Blue Skull, and finally creating Fairy Tail in Magnolia.】

【This is what Black Natsu said Mavis must do.】

【As for himself...】

【Black Natsu pulled back his gaze, resumed his pace, and moved toward an unknown direction.】

【Destination, Galaxy Empire!】

【At the same time, it is also the hometown where Erza was born, and... the kingdom where the Dragon Queen exists!】

Erza: "Galaxy Empire... Black Natsu is finally going to step onto that land?"

Mirajane: "What is the place where the Erza of the black world grew up like?"

Lisanna: "Perhaps Erza-nee can find the mystery of your life experience there."

Makarov: "Unlikely, after all, that era is still over a hundred years away."

"Over a hundred years, I guess Erza's parents haven't even been born yet."

Mavis: "It's possible to meet Erza's ancestors."

Lucy: "As for ancestors... even if you meet them, you might not recognize them, right?"

"Just like my ancestor Anna, before I met my mom, I didn't recognize that she was my ancestor at all."

Gray: "That's true, after all, the similarity isn't high, but it's good to learn about the Galaxy Empire; maybe this Galaxy Empire really is the empire where the Irene of that world is?"

Brain: "Yeah, yeah, Irene and Black Natsu also have a connection, I don't know what will happen."

At the same time, in the direction of the Alvarez Empire.

Irene was also frowning tightly.

Looking at Black Natsu on the road in the footage, her heart also became extremely tense.

"Galaxy Empire... what kind of place is it?"

【The footage continues.】

【After leaving the vicinity of Magnolia, Black Natsu first came to a town named Maya City to take a rest.】

【Of course, eating to replenish energy is secondary.】

【The most important thing is a map to the Galaxy Empire.】

【"Boss, check."】

【In front of a mountain of plates, Black Natsu raised his head.】

【He shouted to the shopkeeper.】

【"Eh! Coming!"】

【The boss rushed over from the bar, looked at the plates that couldn't even fit on the table, and couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.】

【"Uh... guest, your total consumption is 790, 00 J."】

【"790, 00? A bit expensive, right?"】

【Black Natsu frowned slightly.】

【"Guest, I'm very sorry, it's really because you ate too much; you ate more than half of our store's inventory in this one meal; you know, because the whole continent is at war recently, various raw materials and such have skyrocketed in price."】

【"Therefore, the price will be much more expensive than before; this is also a last resort, I'm really very sorry."】

【As he spoke, the boss bowed slightly.】

【The apology was evident.】

【"Because of the war..."】

【Black Natsu nodded gently: "Then I understand, it's reasonable for it to be a bit more expensive."】

【As he spoke, he took out cash from his pocket and placed it on the table.】

【Although this money was earned while doing S-Class missions before, since the currency hadn't been changed, it could still be used here.】

【"Okay, welcome to visit again next time!"】

【After receiving the cash, the boss bowed again.】

【"By the way, where can I buy a map here? A map that can go to the Galaxy Empire."】

【"Galaxy Empire?!!"】

【Upon hearing this, the boss's expression immediately became tense.】

【Then he kindly advised: "I think you look like a student or something, right? The Galaxy Empire is a place of right and wrong now."】

【"They are fighting there every day; if you go there now, you might be affected by the war."】

【"If there's really something, it's better to wait until the war is over before going."】

【To the boss's persuasion, Black Natsu shook his head with a smile: "You don't need to worry about this, just tell me where I can buy one."】

【The shopkeeper opened his mouth, but in the end, he sighed helplessly.】

【"Anyway, be careful if you go there; if you really need a map, I can provide it to you."】

【He added at the end: "Of course, it's free; after all, you consumed so much here."】

【"Then that's troublesome."】

【Since it's here, there's no need to spend time buying it.】

【In a while, the shopkeeper came over with a rolled-up map.】

【"This is a map we posted in our own home, but we can't go there because of the war recently anyway, so it's useless, I'll just give it to you."】

【"Thank you, boss."】

【Taking the map, Black Natsu turned around and was about to leave.】

【Bang...】

【A figure bumped straight into him!】

【This wasn't because Black Natsu didn't notice; it was just that his attention was entirely on the map in his hand, and he was preparing to open it and look at it while walking.】

【Therefore, he didn't notice the figure walking from behind.】

【The two bumped into each other!】

【First impression! So fierce!!】

【Yes, really fierce, fierce to the point of being exaggerated!】

【A soft feeling pressed against Black Natsu's chest.】
