Chapter 242

【Inside the Fairy Tail guild.】

【The expressions of the three siblings, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna, were somewhat unnatural.】

【Village,】

【Church,】

【Demon,】

【These words seemed to stir up their memories.】

【Lisanna: "This... could this be that incident from when we were young?"】

【Mirajane: "It should be. I still can't forget what happened back then."】

【Elfman: "Thinking back now, I was really cowardly back then. Even though my sister had already been bullied to that extent, I could only hide behind my sister's back."】

【"I was really useless!"】

【Lisanna: "Brother Elfman doesn't need to blame himself; we were all still young back then."】

【Mirajane: "That's right, you were still just a little kid back then, what could you understand?"】

【"Now that these things have passed, there's no need to dwell on them anymore."】

【On a small path in the village.】

【A figure was walking in front, introducing things from time to time to the two people following behind.】

【"We don't even know when that church came into existence."】

【"Anyway, ever since I can remember, the church has already existed. Every night..."】

【"Bursts of muttering sounds would come from inside the church, bringing nightmares to the villagers."】

【The one leading the way was a young man from the teahouse earlier.】

【Because Erza and Black Natsu were curious about the demon incident in the church, after learning that the two were mages, he took the initiative to offer to bring them to see it.】

【Of course, Black Natsu also knew the young man's purpose.】

【More than that, he was pinning his hopes on them being able to completely solve the demon in the church.】

【So, he couldn't help but ask: "Have you never thought about posting a request or something to let mages solve the problem here?"】

【Hearing this, a trace of shame appeared on the young man's face.】

【He scratched his head: "To tell you the truth, it's really that our village can't afford the money for a request."】
