Chapter 221

["You have nothing to say about this, right?" Crawford asked.]

["What? Erza and the others broke into Eisenwald? No way? What I understand is that they were on their way to perform a mission, got lost, and stumbled into Eisenwald."]

["They wanted to borrow a place to rest and have a drink, but were attacked by Eisenwald members and were forced to fight back."]

["Besides, about the destruction and all that, how do you know it wasn't a terrorist attack premeditated by Eisenwald?"]

["They placed magic bombs in advance and destroyed a large amount of public facilities. Erza and the others couldn't stand it and stepped forward to stop them. Therefore, they are heroes."]

["You should award them a banner or something."]

[Black Natsu spoke eloquently.]

[Erza and Mirajane weren't stupid either; hearing this, they roughly understood what was going on.]

[Immediately, the two little heads nodded like crazy.]

[Mirajane: "Yes, yes, I really couldn't stand those citizens at the time, so I acted out of justice and stopped Eisenwald."]

["But unfortunately, the other party's bombs exploded too fast, we couldn't stop them in time... sigh..."]

[While speaking, Mirajane seemed to be possessed by a movie queen, shaking her head and sighing incessantly.]

[Erza: "Yes, those people were too cruel, they even scared our companion named Lucy to tears."]

[Hearing this, the only survivor of Eisenwald, who had been pressed into the jury, and also the so-called witness in the mouths of the Council members.]

[Yagiyama couldn't sit still.]

[He immediately stood up from his seat and scolded: "You're full of crap!!"]

["Clearly... clearly it was you who attacked us! The whole guild, over two hundred people, were wiped out like cutting vegetables."]

["If it weren't for my luck, I would have already lost my life."]

[Black Natsu glanced at Yagiyama, a flash of realization appearing on his face.]

["Oh~ so it's you. I remember you. Lucy told me that the person who scared her to tears was you."]

[Lucy...]

[Mentioning this name, Yagiyama couldn't help but recall the crazy woman who was screaming 'so scary' while whipping herself hundreds of times.]

[A mouthful of old blood almost sprayed out.]

["That crazy woman... you guys still have the nerve to say that, she... she..."]

["Just tell me if she cried or not?" Black Natsu interrupted impatiently.]

[Yagiyama's words stalled!]

[Yeah, it seems she really cried...]

["See." Black Natsu shrugged, then looked at Crawford.]

["You better get that banner ready soon. Send it to our guild when it's done, so we can hang it up."]

[Thump, thump, thump...]

[The sound of a gavel came from the judge's bench.]

[Crawford took a deep breath: "Enough! This matter seems to have a lot of controversy, so let's discuss it clearly before trying it again."]

["Court dismissed." Saying this, Crawford looked at Black Natsu's group.]

[He said helplessly: "Go back to where you came from."]

["If necessary, we will notify you to cooperate."]

[After speaking, Crawford, who was a bit exhausted, planned to turn and leave.]

["Wait!"]

[Just then, Black Natsu suddenly spoke, stopping Crawford.]

["What else?" Crawford was almost on the verge of a breakdown, looking at Black Natsu with despair.]

["Things aren't going to be settled that easily."]

["I said before, we are the victims this time."]

["As the regulatory body for Lullaby, your negligence led to Lullaby's unsealing, and it almost took the lives of the masters of various guilds who were holding a routine meeting..."]

["Especially our Fairy Tail, almost all of our main force was there."]

["If it weren't for our luck, and that guy exploded itself, I'm afraid Fairy Tail would no longer exist, right?"]

["The source of this matter is you, shouldn't there be some compensation?"]

[Speaking of this, Black Natsu's gaze sank, staring fixedly at Crawford: "You know, our Master has been lying in bed unable to get up since the last scare."]

["My companions are now afraid to sleep every day thinking about what happened then. Isn't there any compensation for these mental damages?"]

[Crawford widened his eyes instantly.]

["You still want compensation?!!"]

["That's right!" Black Natsu responded in a low voice.]

["Are you kidding me?!! This is the Council, not a wish-granting machine!!!"]

["So what if it's the Council? Does the Council not have to pay compensation when they do something wrong?"]

["Is your power that great?!"]

[Black Natsu pressed step by step.]

["If that's the case, then it doesn't matter. I will contact the reporters of the Weekly Sorcerer Magazine about this incident and publish it in full. At least it will clear the stain on Fairy Tail in front of the whole world."]

["Lest you guys pour dirty water on us."]

[Fists clenched instantly, veins popped out on Crawford's forehead!]

[Having been in a high position for many years, until now, no one had dared to speak to him like this.]

[Even the master of their guild, Makarov, wouldn't dare!]

[But this guy...]

["Kid... are you threatening me?"]

[Crawford said in a deep voice.]

["I never threaten anyone. Of course, if you want to think so... it doesn't matter!"]

[Black Natsu curled his lips. Although he said that, the threatening tone in his words was self-evident.]

[Crack!!]

[Crawford gritted his teeth tightly. He really wanted to lash out.]

[But the second seat, Org, on the side, shook his head gently.]

["You have to understand what kind of impact it will have on us once this matter is exposed."]

[At this point, Org stopped talking.]

[Some things, he tries not to get involved in. Anyway... he's just the second seat, his words carry little weight, and most of the time, things don't get traced back to him.]

[Crawford, with red eyes, took a deep breath and said:]

["Fine! Regarding your compensation, it will be issued within ten days, totaling two million J."]

["Not enough!" Black Natsu shook his head gently.]

[That attitude made Mirajane feel a bit terrified.]

[They had already torn a piece of meat off the Council, and it's still not enough?]

["What exactly do you want to do??" Crawford slammed his fist on the table.]

[His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Black Natsu.]

["You also know that Fairy Tail has been working diligently for the development of the magic world for so many years. Nowadays, the guild building has aged beyond recognition."]

["Why don't you just pay to help us rebuild one?"]

["Overall, it doesn't need to be too big, just four times the size of the current one is enough."]

["It needs a cafe, a recreation room, a swimming pool, a restaurant, etc..."]

[Black Natsu said: "After all, as one of the strongest guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore!"]

[Black Natsu emphasized the word 'strongest', as if reminding Crawford.]

["In any case, it can be considered the face of the Ishgar magic world, right? As the managers of the Ishgar magic world, shouldn't you help with the renovation?"]

["You!!!"]

[Crawford's teeth were almost crushed.]

[This guy is asking for a whole guild building?!]

[What's even more outrageous is that it needs a swimming pool?!!]

[Are you building a guild, or a mansion?!!]

["Bastard..."]
