I won’t casually alter someone else’s life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though somewhat convinced by Mo En’s words, Erza still shook her head firmly—her nature dictated this; she wouldn’t gamble with the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep studying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En patted Erza’s head, not pressing further; he had no particular desire to know exactly how the future would unfold. At least for now, the future six years ahead seemed decent—wasn’t that enough? It was more than sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing this, Mo En wouldn’t slacken his self-demand, for he knew his daily, yearly training was the foundation of this seemingly decent future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En stopped asking, and Erza stopped speaking; they continued studying the time magic book. For some reason, looking at its contents, Mo En always felt like panning for gold in dung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Memory Time—this is the title, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En sifted through the text and found one useful piece of information: the name of this magic book was Memory Time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is it called that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza was baffled—it sounded more like a diary’s title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems related to how it works.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En kept flipping through the book; after finding the name, things became simpler, and more information began to surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When Itachi open this book, the user is transported to the earliest time they remember—that’s why it’s called Memory Time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he read the text, Mo En slowly explained: this magic book might be better called a “Memory Time Machine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the book, recalling the past, then opening it lets Itachi travel to the time Itachi remember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This magic book is a time machine that can only go to the past—and it can be used by multiple people; anyone who touches the user can travel with them. That explains why five people arrived together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What an incredible magic!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza marveled—it involved time and space, so its obscurity made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Six hours. Duration.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En continued interpreting the text. As soon as he spoke, Erza grew tense and looked over immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After six hours, the user is automatically transported back to their original timeline.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza read this aloud, and her mind momentarily froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long have Itachi been here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En’s expression turned serious, for this six-hour auto-return function clearly applied only to the user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If time ran out and the others who came along didn’t return with the user, they’d be permanently stranded here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me think.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Mo En’s question, Erza calmed down. She knew panic now would only lead to mistakes—she and Lucy had already learned that lesson the hard way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About four hours, maybe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza estimated the time; she hadn’t noted exact details, only remembered arriving around two or three in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About right. It seems our time is running out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En took a deep breath—he’d deduced the time from when he ate lunch, when he’d already met Lucy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calculating it, roughly four hours had passed; even the sky was nearly dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En had been absorbed in practicing Diamond Dust Fist today, so he ate late—it was already around two in the afternoon then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go! Find them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza jumped up, urgently saying: time was short—if they didn’t find those bastards soon, they’d be stuck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is the book’s user?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En closed the book and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly thought of a plan: if the user returned and came back again, maybe they could retrieve the others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no reason those who came along once couldn’t come back with the user next time. Missed this ride? Take the next one—it sounded perfectly reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Natsu. Natsu is the user!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza spoke, and immediately realized it was hopeless: the book was now in their hands, not Natsu’s. The “next ride” plan collapsed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The book says: to return, Itachi must hold onto this book, because the book must travel with the user to return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En sighed. Now, finding Natsu was the only option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Erza, Gray, Lucy, Happy, and this magic book would all be stranded here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s check the riverbank.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En said. If he had to guess where they’d be, the riverbank was the only plausible place—it had seen too many events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza nodded. She too wanted to return to that riverbank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Erza’s memory, that river was special: when she first joined the guild, she often sat alone by the river, staring at the flowing water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, someone would sit with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza’s gaze turned to Mo En, soft and tender—the Mo En in her memory was younger than the one before her now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much time passed or how much people changed, one thing never changed: Mo En’s heart, always tenderly devoted to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En led the way; he knew Magnolia City better than she did now. Erza followed closely behind, and they hurried swiftly toward the river outside town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the road outside town, they saw a carriage—unhitched, parked by the roadside—with a group of servants gathered around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servants formed three concentric circles around the carriage, shouting chaotically: “Miss! We’ve finally found Itachi!”—clearly chasing after a noble girl who’d snuck out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En glanced inside and thought he saw a little girl with golden hair, but he had no time to deal with this now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking Erza with him, they ran to the riverside—and there, indeed, they found the others: Lucy and two bruised men, plus a “cat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mo En pressed his lips together, unsure how to even react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu and Gray’s disguises were better than Erza’s and Lucy’s—they’d changed their hair colors: Natsu had black hair, Gray had light yellow, and their clothing was reasonably normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly left Mo En speechless was the “cat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",997,"2026-06-21T03:49:57.516Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2e567cf814dd748baa499e162173f73a84b911a6de7f07d5a87b2964819710f4","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-68","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-66",103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-cover.jpg"]
