Chapter 567

【"Then, I'll try..."】

【Saying this, Juvia slowly closed her eyes.】

【She began to extend her consciousness toward her body, toward the source of the magic power she had always resisted.】

【She began to try to contact this power, instead of letting the power find her like before.】

【Thereby being forced to use magic.】

【Just like what Black Natsu said, change the state of mind.】

【This time... she wanted to try to be her own master, to truly communicate, to feel, to control... that power that was originally out of control.】

【A touch of surprise gradually appeared deep in her heart.】

【So... it was this easy?】

【So, as long as she opened her heart and tried to accept this power, it would respond to her feelings with 100% enthusiasm!】

【So, controlling all of this wasn't difficult?!】

【Outside, Black Natsu, Makarov, and Gajeel waited quietly for Juvia, who had her eyes closed.】

【Time passed like flowing water.】

【Gradually, Gajeel could actually feel that the light drizzle falling from the sky was beginning to decrease?】

【A look of astonishment flashed across his face.】

【"No way... just like that... succeeded?"】

【Gajeel raised his head, his eyes, filled with disbelief, staring fixedly at the dark clouds gradually dispersing in the sky.】

【Sunlight... slowly spilled down!】

【Black Natsu watched this scene and raised a slight smile.】

【His gaze noticed the Teru Teru Bozu that Juvia had been hanging around her neck.】

【He snapped his fingers.】

【The Teru Teru Bozu instantly ignited with flames.】

【But, under Black Natsu's exquisite operation, the flames did not harm Juvia.】

【It was just the scorching temperature that woke Juvia up.】

【"Natsu-sama... this..."】

【Watching the Teru Teru Bozu burned to ashes, Juvia was somewhat astonished and puzzled.】

【"You don't need that kind of thing anymore." Black Natsu explained.】

【Then, he raised his finger and pointed to the sky.】

【"Now, as long as you want, the sunlight will tilt for you at any time."】

【Black Natsu's instruction made Juvia notice the clear, cloudless sky at this moment!】

【"The sky..." Juvia stared blankly at the azure horizon.】

【In the distance, a few birds flew past in groups.】

【Their loud chirping resounded through the sky.】

【Warm sunlight spilled onto her body.】

【This feeling...】

【A feeling she had never had before, as if her gloomy mood had been baptized all at once.】

【From now on, there would be no more dark clouds in her world.】

【"So... so beautiful..."】

【Tears blurred her vision without her knowing.】

【Juvia, staring at the sky, expressed her feelings from the heart.】

【Black Natsu looked at Makarov: "My business is done, the rest is up to you, Master."】

【"Don't worry." Makarov gave Black Natsu a look.】

【Then, he stepped forward.】

【He came to a stop in front of Gajeel and Juvia.】

【His aged gaze swept over the two of them.】

【Then he revealed a kind smile.】

【"Phantom Lord has disbanded, what do you plan to do next?"】

【Makarov took the lead in asking a question.】

【Juvia wiped her eyes.】

【She gritted her teeth: "To tell the truth, we don't know where to go..."】

【Makarov raised his eyebrows and continued: "If you don't mind, why don't you try coming to our guild?"】

【"Really?" Juvia's eyes widened.】

【She looked at Makarov in shock.】

【Gajeel was the same, seemingly unable to imagine that Makarov, who was an enemy not long ago.】

【Would actually invite them to join Fairy Tail today??】

【Hey, hey, hey, isn't this a bit too much like a fantasy?】

【But, even more outrageous things happened again.】

【Facing Makarov's invitation, that woman Juvia actually agreed without even thinking?】

【"If it's Fairy Tail... I'm willing!"】

【Juvia looked at Makarov, her eyes full of determination!】

【"Hey! Are you crazy??"】

【"That's Fairy Tail! We were enemies not long ago, aren't you afraid they'll tear you apart??"】

【"What on earth are you thinking?"】

【Gajeel glared at Juvia in disbelief.】

【Juvia kept kneading the corner of her clothes: "I think Fairy Tail must be a place worth yearning for, right?"】

【"A place that can say those kinds of words should be much better than Phantom Lord, right?"】

【"Lucy is a companion, and also family... whoever wants to take her away, let them pay with their lives! I still remember this sentence firmly in my heart even now."】

【Juvia took a deep breath: "So, I suddenly wanted to try to integrate into it, at least, to experience a life I've never had before."】

【Things went unexpectedly smoothly, making Makarov unable to help but raise a smile.】

【He nodded gently: "A wise choice!"】 ===== CHAPTER 568 =====
