Is this really okay?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gray’s expression was strange—wasn’t this just exposing ourselves?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they tried hard to hide, Mo En might still see through them; now they’re not even pretending— isn’t this just outright confessing?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Itachi still want to go back, step on Natsu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erza didn’t answer, but said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Gray, Lucy, and Happy all stepped on Natsu—any hesitation would be disrespect toward Erza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu, lying unconscious on the ground, declared his current condition fine—he had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En, time’s almost up—we’re going back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Mo En, Erza spoke, a hint of melancholy in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t hesitate; meeting young Mo En as a child had been amusing, yet she knew it was merely a brief interlude—a story she could later share with Mo En.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that thought, Erza suddenly realized—she and Natsu and the others might have already forgotten this whole thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about Mo En? He must still remember!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Erza’s gaze sharpened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the smiling young Mo En and suddenly found his smile infuriating—he wasn’t revealing a single clue! How could he keep this hidden so well?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even as she found Mo En annoying, she admired him even more—no wonder he was Mo En; he’d truly kept all this locked inside, not a word leaked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go back—return to your own time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En waved goodbye with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found this experience quite interesting—to meet companions from the future, to hear fragments of their world—these were rare, delightful novelties in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En had no intention of changing anything, nor would he himself change because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t press for details about the future; from Erza, Natsu, Gray—even Lucy and Happy—he saw no urgent desire to alter the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t that a good thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a beautiful future—what need was there to change it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, go back in peace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En spoke again—this was his promise; he would keep silent about everything, as if they had never come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until they all grew up—until Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy chose to tell him themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would forever guard this future that satisfied them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hum!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of magical energy rippled—the fabric of time and space trembled violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En! Be nice to me—teach me Diamond Star Fist! I really want to learn it, I just never said it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En! I still want to keep the name Happy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En! Don’t kill off Sherlock Holmes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En! Catch this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? What happened to Mo En? Why are Itachi all stepping on me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the violent magical disturbance, Erza and the others’ figures twisted and faded away, accompanied by a clamor of shouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alongside them, a magic book was suddenly thrown out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Memories of Time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the magic book in his hand, Mo En paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Erza—is this how Itachi express your resolve? That this future is perfect, and absolutely doesn’t need any change?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En smiled, patting the magic book—it was Erza’s resolve, and her unconditional trust in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving this book behind meant the future Erza and the others could never return, could never use it to alter the past again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving this book behind also meant Erza trusted him completely—not to misuse it, not to tamper with any earlier past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Erza—I won’t betray this trust.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En made his decision—he would keep this book safely preserved, and only retrieve it at the right moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’m afraid Gray and Lucy will be disappointed—since Itachi shouted it out, I definitely won’t be teaching Itachi Diamond Star Fist, and Sherlock Holmes must die at least once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Gray and Lucy’s shouts before they left, Mo En sighed helplessly—he couldn’t teach Diamond Star Fist even if he wanted to; he’d barely touched its surface, with single-digit proficiency, and even showing it would be embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Sherlock Holmes, Mo En still planned to proceed with his planned revisions—fake death was still necessary; he wasn’t afraid of people sending him knives or bullets—what? Did they think his Star Spirit Magic-enhanced fists weren’t hard enough?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo En! I brought help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mo En turned to head home, Natsu’s voice called out—he looked toward the source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu was frantic, and behind him trudged a drunken old man—the kid had dragged Macao over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-what’s wrong? Mo En, trouble?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Macao was drunk, a bottle in hand, barely standing—but he’d still come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s already resolved—I handled it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En waved dismissively, signaling no help was needed; his gaze fell on Natsu, who bore numerous wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Natsu… what happened to Itachi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo En asked, puzzled—why was the one sent to fetch help covered in injuries?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu scratched his head awkwardly; Mo En noticed injuries on his neck too—like he’d fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gulp, gulp, gulp~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He was in such a rush, he fell and hurt himself like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Macao took a sip of his drink and explained for the embarrassed Natsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Macao’s words, Mo En’s expression grew complex; he reached out and ruffled Natsu’s hair, sighing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brat, have a little more faith in your Mo En.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Natsu injure himself so badly just to find help, Mo En felt deep guilt—he shouldn’t have made things sound so dire, forgetting how Natsu would risk everything for his friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those guys were terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natsu scratched his head, face still filled with lingering fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t think his injuries were severe, didn’t feel much pain—this kind of damage was routine for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Mo En, he’d take any wound without complaint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s events left a deep shadow in Natsu’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those two terrifying monsters—and Mo En, telling him to run while staying behind alone—were etched firmly into his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",959,"2026-06-21T03:49:57.516Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","872f0587276ad2edeea11fa79b09a9945615d67c7f48d1aa2ec9d39d3355f0f0","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-70","fairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-chapter-68",103,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-you-call-this-spirit-magic-cover.jpg"]
