I can tell that this young girl doesn't have any real feelings for Phantom Lord.

Therefore, I will not blame you, nor will I make any judgments.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"In fact, if it were me in my younger days, I probably would have made the same choice as you.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"After all, I was just as hot-headed when I was young, ahahaha...\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Makarov laughed at himself.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【He took a deep breath: \"But, at the end of the day, the main source of this matter stems from Jose's narrow-mindedness.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"That guy... led a group of young people into the abyss.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"If I can help it... I cannot turn a blind eye to these young people who are falling into darkness.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"I can tell that whether it's Juvia or Gajeel, they were just following orders. They have no opinions of their own, no thoughts of their own; they only know how to execute Jose's commands, like puppets.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"This is all just because of the environment in which they grew up...\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"Therefore, this matter cannot be blamed entirely on them.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Black Natsu's restless magic gradually returned to calm.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【He cast a deep look at Makarov.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Then he turned his gaze toward Juvia: \"So, does the Master think they can still be saved?\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"They are just a group of people who don't know the future and are groping their way forward in the darkness alone. If conditions allow, I hope to guide them onto the right path!\" Makarov replied seriously.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"I understand what you mean.\" Black Natsu nodded.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"However... since we aren't going to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, we'll just have to forcibly pull them over.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"Eh?\" Makarov blinked.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"Seriously, having a Master like you is really troublesome.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Black Natsu shook his head.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Then he stepped toward Juvia.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Watching the man who destroyed the guild walking slowly toward her.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The rain poured down incessantly, soaking his cherry-blossom-colored short hair.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Juvia took two steps back in fear.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Then, as if thinking of something, she gave a self-deprecating smile.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"Sure enough, the rain is still so annoying...\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"That depends on the situation.\" Black Natsu came to a stop in front of Juvia.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【His eyes fixed on Juvia: \"At certain times, a rainy day can actually become one of the most exquisite sights.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Juvia stared blankly at the man before her.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Her mouth kept muttering his words.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"Therefore, there is never any such thing as 'annoying.' No matter what kind of weather it is, if it continues for too long, it will make people feel troubled.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"So, don't you want to see the blue sky?\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Facing Black Natsu's question, Juvia's heart suddenly began to beat faster.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Those words felt as if they had been spoken directly into her heart.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【She nodded without hesitation.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"I want to! Juvia... Juvia wants to see the blue sky very much, but...\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【At this point, she lowered her head in self-abasement.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"Since I was born, Juvia has always been favored by the rain. It has been like this for so many years...\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Speaking of this, she seemed to look at Black Natsu with some excitement.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"Of course, just before, when you appeared on the battlefield and shattered the dark clouds in the sky, that was the first time Juvia truly saw the sun, although... I fainted very quickly.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Black Natsu crossed his arms, his mouth twitching slightly.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Then he shook his head: \"Do you want your life to return to normal?\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Juvia clenched her fists against her chest and nodded hurriedly.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"After the trial is over in a while, come find us.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Saying this, Black Natsu turned around: \"Oh right, call that guy over too when the time comes.\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【As he spoke, Black Natsu pointed at Gajeel not far away, then walked forward and returned to Makarov's side.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Juvia couldn't stop nodding her head.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Her gaze was fixed firmly on Black Natsu's back.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Her mouth couldn't stop murmuring.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"Finally... finally Juvia has met someone who doesn't hate the rain, someone who doesn't hate Juvia...\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"And... his back, it seems a bit too cool, doesn't it?!\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【On the other side.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Seeing Black Natsu return, Makarov leaned in curiously.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"Tell me, what exactly did you go over there to say just now?\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hearing this, Black Natsu rolled his eyes: \"Didn't I just say it?\"】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【\"Since we can't cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, we have to find a way to turn them into our own people.
