The next day, Caesar woke up early and went to the guild.
He took out the communication crystal and contacted Makarov.
He reported the completion of the hundred year mission.
"Thanks for your hard work."
On the other side, Makarov reviewed documents while speaking.
"The most troublesome hundred year mission is finally over."
"This is good news for the council."
"Master, are you coming to this year's Harvest Festival?"
Caesar extended an invitation.
"You'd better be careful."
"I heard you invested all the remaining prize money from the Grand Magic Games into the festival."
Makarov sighed softly.
"Don't bankrupt yourself."
"Don't worry."
"I have enough Jewels."
Caesar laughed.
"Just remember to come."
"I will."
Makarov nodded.
Then he suddenly remembered something.
"Wait."
"Eric asked for a day off."
"He plans to visit Fairy Tail."
"Eric."
"That cobra."
Caesar was briefly stunned.
Then he smiled faintly.
"He's here to see Gina, right?"
"That's right."
Makarov nodded.
"He's reformed."
"He's one of my men now."
"Go easy on him."
"Don't worry."
"I'm very gentle."
Caesar smiled and cut the connection.
Makarov looked at the dim crystal.
He shook his head helplessly.
"Eric."
"Good luck."
My name is Eric.
I was once a member of Oración Seis.
I abandoned darkness and joined the council.
As a sinner, I became a captain in the disciplinary team.
Work was exhausting every day.
But for my Chuberios, I endured it all.
Because of my good performance, I finally received a day off.
I could finally see Gina.
Outside Fairy Tail, my thoughts were chaotic.
I felt extremely uneasy.
Wearing casual clothes, I tidied myself up.
Then I solemnly pushed open the guild door.
"Welcome."
A wide courtyard appeared before my eyes.
There was even an open air cafe.
Several waitresses in tank tops and short skirts smiled at me.
Their Fairy Tail guild marks were clearly visible.
I blushed and scratched my face.
"Um."
"Is Gina here?"
"She's not in the front."
"She should be at the pool in the back."
The waitress pointed behind me.
I froze.
"A pool?"
"A mage guild has something like that?"
I nodded in confusion and walked deeper inside.
"Stop."
Just as I moved, two men blocked my path.
Dorell and Sarusuk wore beach shorts.
They stood like guards.
"The area behind is private."
"Outsiders aren't allowed."
I frowned.
"I'm from the council."
"I…"
"Ahahaha."
"The council."
"Sorry about that."
"Go right in."
"I thought you came to peek at Levy's swimsuit."
"Sorry, brother."
Their expressions changed instantly.
I was completely speechless.
In the end, I passed through.
I arrived at the pool behind the guild.
The moment I stepped in, my vision was filled.
Fair skin.
Long legs.
The weather was hot.
The pool was huge.
Members without missions enjoyed the water freely.
There were many beautiful sights.
But none of them were my goal.
"Gina, have a cold drink."
"They're here."
A voice sounded behind me.
I turned around.
A girl in a purple bikini carried a tray.
She handed a drink to a familiar man by the pool.
His feet were in the water.
"The guild master is so handsome."
"And Mirajane is so gentle."
"They're perfect together."
I did not need to hear thoughts to know.
That man inspired despair.
I took a deep breath.
I prepared myself mentally.
Then I tried to find Gina.
A tall figure suddenly stood before me.
"You."
"You're from Oración Seis."
Laxus stared at me coldly.
He wore swim trunks.
"Five seconds."
"That's all I need."
His killing intent flooded my mind.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail."
He said welcome.
But I felt nothing but fear.
That was terrifying.
"Oh."
"You're here."
Caesar walked over.
He glanced at me and smiled.
"Master told me you came to see Gina."
I nodded.
Instinctively, I tried to hear his thoughts.
There was nothing.
"This guy is unreadable."
I sneered internally.
Then Caesar called Gina over.
"Hello."
I greeted her quickly.
My face burned red when I saw her swimsuit.
"Oh my."
"Someone's listening to thoughts."
A message suddenly echoed in my mind.
I looked around in shock.
I saw Warren lying on a beach chair.
He wore a wicked grin.
"This guy."
"All exposed."
Warren laughed.
"I can't hear thoughts."
"But someone opened a channel."
"So I caught a bit."
"My dear Gina."
"I missed you so much."
"Stop right now."
I roared.
My face turned crimson.
I immediately shut down my ability.
Gina was startled.
Caesar was also confused.
"What's wrong with him?"
I stared at Warren.
That smile terrified me.
In some ways, he was worse than Caesar or Laxus.
Death was simple.
But social death was unbearable.
On my day off, I truly missed work.
"Master Makarov."
"I understand now."
"Rest is for the dead."
"For us."
"Only work matters."
At this moment.
Eric matured.
