Until… that night when the colorful cherry blossoms were flying.
She finally mustered up the courage to hold the boy's hand.
From then on, the unfortunate herself seemed to finally be favored by happiness.
Mirajane Strauss, will always love Finn.
Always and always…
——————
The time was already approaching eleven o'clock at night.
Finn and Mirajane, who had been playing madly all day, finally remembered that they had to return to their accommodation before twelve o'clock.
So, under Mirajane's reluctant gaze, the two walked towards the accommodation.
"It's such a pity, the time is too short, there are still many things we haven't played, but… I'm very happy today!" Mirajane hugged Finn's arm.
She looked up slightly at Finn.
Touching the girl's white hair, Finn opened his mouth with a smile, "Then let's come here often in the future, it's said that the scenery here is so beautiful all year round!"
"Hmm!" Mirajane nodded with a smile in response.
The figures of the two gradually walked away.
Perhaps because of the festival, even though it was close to midnight, there were still many people on the street.
Most of them were basically people from other guilds, and among them, there were even ready to go competitions.
At this time, Wendy and Carla, who had separated from Erza and them, were admiring the surrounding flowers in a flower maze.
"Carla, look, look, it's so beautiful here!"
Wendy opened her mouth wide, looking at everything around her that was covered with flowers.
"Indeed, this place really deserves to be called the City of Flowers!" Carla looked around.
A trace of excitement was also revealed on her usually serious face.
The one person and one cat were talking excitedly.
Completely unaware that the small black shadow behind them was revealing its ferocious fangs and grinning.

Inside the Fairy Tail Team A accommodation area.
Erza crossed her arms and sat on the chair with her legs crossed, looking sternly at the three people and one cat kneeling below.
"I said, where did you go to fishing, why did you only come back so late?"
The stern voice was like the criticism of a parent.
Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy below were lowering their heads, like children who had done something wrong.
"We went to eat a very boring meal…" Gray said cautiously.
"We were pestered by weirdos…" Lucy's tone also seemed incredibly humble.
Natsu puffed out his cheeks, and his body trembled a little, seeming to be angry because of today's experience.
Just now, Natsu met the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth, and was also ridiculed as a Dragon Slayer who couldn't defeat a dragon.
Even Happy had the same expression.
He was also ridiculed by the other party's cat.
And there were two of them…
"I will never let those guys go!!" Seeming unable to bear it anymore, the one person and one cat roared in unison.
Erza sighed and ignored the one person and one cat who were throwing a tantrum.
Instead, she thought, "Speaking of, why haven't Wendy and Carla come back yet?"
She looked at the time, "It's almost twelve o'clock!"
Lucy seemed to have thought of something and covered her mouth, her face showing incredible horror, "That child hasn't come back so late…"
"Playing all night… bad friends… delinquent girl!!"
Images of Wendy and Carla wearing delinquent girl-like clothes gradually floated in her mind.
They were doing bad things that good children wouldn't do, such as fighting and brawling…
"Ugh… what should I do!!" Seeming to have affirmed such an idea, Lucy exclaimed in horror.
Gray had black lines all over his face, "Your imagination is really rich…" The door was slowly pushed open, and everyone's gaze turned to the door.
"Everyone, we're back!" Wendy and Carla ran in anxiously. Looking at the two, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wendy, where did you go to play? We were so worried that you came back so late!"
Erza stood up and blamed. "That… I'm sorry, but there's something I must let everyone know now."
Wendy said hurriedly. "Ha?" Everyone looked at each other and turned their gazes to Wendy and Carla.
"We… we were attacked just now!" Carla said with a serious expression.
"!!" Instantly, the few widened their eyes.
————
Inside the Fairy Tail Team B accommodation area.
With the arrival of Finn and Mirajane, all five members of Team B had gathered.
At this moment, everyone was quietly waiting for midnight to arrive.
However, such an atmosphere was broken in the next moment.
A sudden telepathy was transmitted into everyone's minds.
After clearly hearing the content of the telepathy, Finn frowned.
"Wendy and Carla were attacked!" Finn tapped the table with his fingertip.
That's right, the telepathy just now was from Warren, after Erza and others learned that Wendy had been attacked by an inexplicable enemy.
Erza notified Makarov.
And Makarov also knew the seriousness of this matter, and immediately contacted Warren to use telepathy to confirm that everyone was okay before breathing a sigh of relief.
But he still urged everyone to be careful, the royal capital might not be so safe.
"Could it be a trick done by some participating guild?" Laxus said his guess.
"It's very possible, after all, they attacked in a place with few people, it's very likely that they came to our guild after investigating our whereabouts," Finn said.
Gajeel clenched his fists, "Hmph, if I know which guild it is, I must make them pay the price!"
"To dare to attack us, it's indeed unforgivable!" Laxus also said in a deep voice.
"But fortunately Wendy is alright," Mirajane was relieved.
"After all, Wendy has become a lot stronger," Speaking of this, Finn also showed a smile.
Just as the few were talking, the clock on the wall pointed to the direction of twelve o'clock.
Dong—— Dong—— Dong
The huge bell rang throughout the royal capital.
Dazzling lights began to flicker in the night sky.
"Everyone, for the mages of the guilds who are participating in the Grand Magic Games, good morning!"
A huge voice was transmitted through the megaphone throughout the royal capital.
"Look!" Juvia pointed to the outside of the window and exclaimed.
Everyone came to the balcony and could see clearly.
A huge three-dimensional image was projected in the dark night sky.
It was a pumpkin man with a height of dozens of meters, wearing a pumpkin headgear, wearing a green high-cornered top hat, and wearing a cloak.
"Because the number of guilds participating in the Grand Magic Games is increasing every year, in order to make it more interesting, we have decided to change the process."
While saying this, the pumpkin man was still twisting his body.
"So we will select eight groups for the preliminary round from the 113 participating teams…"
"Officially start!!"
"Preliminary round?" Mirajane murmured.
"It's because there are too many teams, so the organizers are trying to eliminate it first, leaving only eight teams, and then the remaining teams will compete," Laxus said his understanding.
"But, isn't 113 teams a bit too many…" Juvia asked in confusion.
"Perhaps our guild isn't the only one with two teams," Finn said with his arms crossed.
However, he seemed to have thought of something interesting afterwards.
Finn showed a smile again, "Really, if we had just gotten him ten teams from the beginning."
