Outside the guild, Igneel explained everything to Natsu.
Natsu looked a little down as he stared at the Book of END in his hand.
However, he quickly recovered.
"Dragons or demons, I don't care."
Natsu clenched his fist and looked at Igneel.
"All I know is that I am Natsu of Fairy Tail."
"I am human."
"A beautiful realization."
Igneel smiled with deep satisfaction.
That was right.
His child was not fragile.
Understand your weakness.
Overcome it.
Then keep moving forward on the path you believe in.
Meanwhile, with Ur's comfort, Gray gradually calmed down.
After the two settled their emotions, everyone returned to the guild hall.
"Right now, the most important thing is this book."
Igneel and the others sat in a circle.
The Book of END lay on the table.
"From my observations of other worlds,"
Caesar said calmly,
"To change Natsu's situation, someone very familiar with him must rewrite the book."
Caesar opened the Book of END.
As the first page turned, countless magic characters burst out.
They spread like flowing chains of text.
"Mirajane, come here."
Caesar looked at her seriously.
"Rewriting this book will cause demonic power to erode the writer's body."
"Then I'll do it."
Mirajane smiled.
"This kind of power is a nice treat for me."
"But Mirajane might not know every detail about Natsu."
Lisanna spoke while holding Happy.
"Everyone is here."
Mirajane laughed.
"Don't you all know Natsu?"
"Let's rewrite his story together."
"Good."
Everyone answered at the same time.
"I'll start."
Igneel was the first to speak.
He talked about Natsu's childhood.
As Mirajane listened, she flipped through the pages.
She erased everything related to demons.
She wrote down Igneel's memories instead.
Then came July 7, X777.
Caesar contacted Makarov through a magic crystal.
Makarov continued the story.
He spoke of bringing Natsu to Fairy Tail.
After that, Caesar and the others talked about Natsu joining the guild.
Those memories were still vivid.
Next was Lisanna.
And the promise between them.
Then Lucy spoke.
She recalled meeting Natsu.
Every request.
Every mission.
Every accident.
Every moment of trust.
Nothing was missed.
Lisanna hugged Happy tightly.
Her emotions quietly stirred.
So much had happened.
Natsu scratched his head.
Hearing his life story made him embarrassed.
"Alright."
"Everything that can be changed has been changed."
Mirajane put down her magic pen.
She looked slightly exhausted.
"Now it depends on this last step."
Caesar picked up the Book of END.
He looked at Natsu.
"If this succeeds, the book will disappear."
"You will no longer be a fire demon."
"You will simply be Natsu of Fairy Tail."
"If it fails…"
"Then we find another way."
Lucy immediately spoke.
"Natsu will be fine."
Lisanna said firmly.
Caesar closed the book.
The flowing words retreated back into the pages.
Silence filled the room.
Everyone held their breath.
A faint light appeared.
It grew brighter.
The weight in Caesar's hands lessened.
He laughed softly.
The Book of END shattered.
It vanished like a bubble.
Natsu stood there.
Unchanged.
"Yeah!"
Cheers erupted.
They succeeded.
Natsu's fate was rewritten.
Caesar raised his hand.
His smile was calm.
"Let's start the banquet."
"The Guild Master is generous."
The guild instantly returned to its lively chaos.
"So this is Fairy Tail."
Selene held her wine glass.
She looked around happily.
"Lord Caesar, I think I like it here."
"Of course."
"Fairy Tail is the best."
Athena walked over.
She looked confused.
"Why is everyone happy?"
Caesar tapped her forehead lightly.
"Aren't you smiling too?"
"I don't understand."
"You don't need to."
"If you want to laugh, then laugh."
"If you want to cry, then cry."
Athena thought for a moment.
Then she nodded.
Caesar turned to Selene.
"You've traveled many worlds."
"Have you seen anything unusual?"
Selene thought carefully.
"My Black Moon Mountain."
"The moon there is very beautiful."
Caesar sighed.
He drank his wine.
Finding Ankhseram would not be easy.
At least the clues still existed.
With endless magic power, time was not an issue.
Caesar finished his drink.
Then he looked at Selene.
"Tomorrow we return to Giltina."
"We'll settle things with Ignia."
"Yes, Lord Caesar."
Selene finished her wine.
Her smile grew brighter.
