Chapter 245

【The flag that originally fluttered on the roof had long since fallen off and was scattered in the ruins.】

【The plaque that said FAIRY TAIL was broken in the middle, lying on the ground, pressed by broken stones.】

【“This is... our guild??”】

【Lucy and Gray also leaned over because of the abnormality here.】

【At the first moment of seeing it, Lucy exclaimed!】

【“Who exactly did this?!”】

【Rarely, this ice Black Mage actually burned with such fierce anger for the first time!】

【Happy had already turned his head away as if he couldn’t bear to look.】

【Tears were faintly welling up in his eyes.】

【“What... exactly happened?” Erza asked again.】

【“It’s Phantom...” Lisanna on the other side was in a very low mood.】

【Usually, the smile that often hung on her face had already disappeared.】

【Replaced by rare sorrow.】

【“Although I am very unwilling, but... we were indeed ambushed, by those guys from Phantom...”】

【“Phantom, huh?”】

【Black Natsu clenched his fists, his tone lower than ever before!】

Up to here.

The scene in the black world froze.

Immediately following, replacing it, was the scene with a white border, which gradually began to have color.

Makarov: “The war with Phantom, huh...”

Macao: “Back then, we really suffered quite a bit.”

Wakaba: “It’s mainly because Jose from Phantom was really too despicable, okay? All kinds of underhanded tricks emerged one after another; I really don’t know how such a person became a Wizard Saint.”

Lucy: “Come to think of it, the incident with Phantom was because of me; thinking about it now, I still feel a bit sorry for everyone.”

Juvia: “What are you saying, we even attacked you last time; it should be us who are sorry to you.”

Gajeel: “Yeah, can’t deny it, I was indeed a bastard back then; sigh... hurt too many people.”

Levy: “It’s okay, we haven’t cared about that matter for a long time.”

Natsu: “Well said! I remember, it was during this war that I also beat Gajeel up!”

Gajeel: “Huh? After that battle, didn’t you also fail to get up? What kind of beating me up is that?”

Natsu: “Doesn’t matter, anyway, I won!”

Lucy: “Really, what’s the point of arguing about this at a time like this?”

Happy: “By the way, if Gajeel from the black world met Black Natsu, what would happen?”

Inside the Fairy Tail guild.

As soon as Happy’s words came out.

Natsu and Gajeel, who were arguing, were both stunned.

Especially Gajeel, his eyes widened involuntarily.

It seemed as if he had thought of something terrifying.

“By the way... I wasn’t that arrogant back then, right?”

He asked tentatively.

But the answer he got exceeded his imagination.

Gray shook his head solemnly: “Should say... you were arrogant to the heavens back then.”

Erza: “I remember, during the entire Phantom war, the most conspicuous and arrogant one was you.”

“Even more arrogant than Jose.”

Gajeel: “Ah?? Is there such a thing?”

Everyone in the guild nodded in unison.

Immediately, Gajeel’s heart turned to ash.

Lily had listened for a long time and finally figured out the situation, looking at Gajeel with some surprise.

“So, you used to be so annoying.”

Gajeel struggled: “That was said to be in the past, wasn’t it?”

Lily crossed his arms: “But, do you think you might be just as arrogant in the black world?”

Gajeel stopped talking.

Because the answer almost didn’t need to be thought about.

Absolutely would be.

Lily sighed gently: “I think, you in that world might be very miserable, but... shouldn’t die.”

“After all, didn’t you and Black Natsu know each other when you were kids in that world?”

“You lost your memory, but Black Natsu didn’t, so, I guess he won’t deal a lethal blow.”

Gajeel’s mouth twitched wildly: “I, the dignified Lord Gajeel, actually have to rely on others showing mercy to survive??”

Lily: “Otherwise... what other way is there? After all... that is Black Natsu!”

Once this was said, Gajeel was instantly speechless.

【The white-bordered scene in the sky screen gradually became clear.】

【The beginning of the scene.】

【Is a messy basement.】

【This is the basement where the Fairy Tail guild usually stacks sundries.】

【Because the place above has already been destroyed beyond recognition, Fairy Tail can only temporarily operate in the basement, at least until the place above is finished being built.】

【Everyone can only huddle in this narrow basement.】

【Erza, Natsu, and the others followed Mirajane down the stairs and arrived at the basement.】

【The narrow space was filled with the smell of alcohol.】

【Guild members were gathered together in twos and threes.】

【Drinking dull wine, forcibly suppressing their anger.】

【A dull atmosphere filled the entire guild.】

【Soon, the group arrived in front of Makarov.】

【Unexpectedly, Makarov seemed not to care at all.】

【Sitting on a wine barrel, drunk as a skunk.】

【Seeing the returning group, he was even enthusiastically welcoming everyone’s return.】

【And he also indicated that he would punish Natsu and the others for taking an S-Class mission without permission.】

【However, now neither Natsu, Gray, nor Lucy had any intention to pay attention to such things.】

【Natsu expressed very unhappily that he must seek revenge on those guys from Phantom!】

【After all, for so many years, everyone also understood Phantom Lord, which was on par with their own guild.】

【The guild not only had S-Class mages, the Element 4, but also a more powerful Iron Dragon Slayer, Gajeel, and even the guild master was a Wizard Saint like their own guild master.】

【But, so what?】

【Destroyed the Fairy Tail guild, so they must pay the price!】

【Natsu’s angry roar echoed throughout the basement.】

【But, Makarov shook his head and rejected Natsu’s proposal, saying that it was just the building that was destroyed.】

【No need to haggle with those guys.】

【Natsu was very angry.】

【But, Erza behind him understood what Makarov was worried about.】

【Any fighting between guilds is prohibited.】

【Plus, at the current stage, Fairy Tail’s reputation in the Council is not good.】

【Therefore, in order for Fairy Tail to continue, Makarov did not want to make a big deal out of this matter.】
