Mystergan's mind is in complete disarray.
He was struggling with how to explain to his companions that he looked just like Geralt when he suddenly heard Erza say that she was Noah's brother.
Do I have brothers? How come I don't know?
What is all this nonsense?
Noah calmed the distraught Mystogan down and asked him and Erza to listen to a story.
Once upon a time, there was a king who, due to the depletion of magic in the world, ruled the country with an iron fist in order to overcome the crisis. He was so heartless that he even abandoned his own son.
Later, the king had a second son. In the process of accompanying his youngest son as he grew up, the king, who had been ruthless for half his life, finally felt the beauty of family affection. He became less extreme and gave up many extreme plans.
The king felt increasingly guilty about his eldest son, whom he had abandoned, but his eldest son had already left his world through magic.
Because of the depletion of magic power, it was only a matter of time before the youngest son contracted the deadly "magic deficiency syndrome".
In order to save his youngest son, the king made up his mind to use the last of the kingdom's magic to send his youngest son to a world full of magic, which was also the world where his eldest son lived.
Before parting, the king entrusted the nation's magical war weapons to his youngest son and told him that if he ever met his elder brother, he should apologize to him on his behalf.
"I won't say anything more."
"Let Dad tell you himself when we get back, Mystogan, no, Gerald…brother."
Hearing Noah's somewhat awkward way of addressing him, Mystergan, who had calmed down, fell silent.
Erza, who was eagerly waiting to see what would happen, never expected that Noah and Mystogan were actually transmigrators from a parallel world called "Edras".
No wonder Mystogan doesn't show his true face; it turns out he's Jellal's counterpart from another world, and he's worried about getting into unnecessary trouble by hiding himself.
This melon...it's so delicious!
Erza thoroughly enjoyed the show, but Mystogan was far from pleased.
Let's not even talk about how a younger brother suddenly appeared.
All these years I've been constantly traveling back and forth across the continent of Ishgar to stop [Anima] from plundering magic power, and you're telling me that my father abandoned this plan more than a decade ago.
What about all my actions over the years?
Do you want to exercise?
Thinking of his powerful physique, which he had developed to the point where he could withstand magic, Mystogan sighed deeply. Oh well, what can I do when the king is my father?
Once his emotions had calmed down, Mystogan suddenly noticed a problem, "Noah, Edolas don't have magic in their bodies and rely on magical tools to cast spells, but you not only have magic but are also very powerful. How is that possible?"
Erza, who had been silently observing, immediately understood why Noah's physical skills were so terrifying. In the world of "Edras," magic refers to magical artifacts, and the only other means of combat is physical skills.
Noah never expected that his brother would point out the difference between the humans of the two worlds, "Edras" and "Athland," in front of Erza.
Since that's the case, Noah decided to go all out and reveal his identity as an artificial being with magical energy channels.
Mystergan felt conflicted upon hearing that Noah was his father, born in an artificial womb using his genes and those of his deceased mother, along with pure magic.
Noah turned out to be his own brother, born of the same father and mother.
He thought his father had taken a concubine, but he never expected that his father only loved his mother and had created a younger brother for him in this way.
Mistergang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.
Perhaps he had once resented his heartless father, but after hearing Noah talk about his father's tremendous change and his guilt towards him, Mystgon's resentment dissipated considerably.
Blood is thicker than water, and Mistgang didn't know whether he should forgive him or not, so he chose to let go.
Noah told many interesting stories about the world of Edolas.
Erza was particularly surprised when Edolas's "Fairy Tail," Erza's counterpart, and Makarov's counterpart were mentioned.
In another world, Fairy Tail still exists and can cause trouble just as much.
Erza in that world was a powerful commander-in-chief who wielded a magical spear that could transform into nine different forms.
And the father of Mystogan and Noah, King Faust of the human kingdom, is actually Makarov's counterpart! Erza simply couldn't imagine what her bald guild master would look like with a full head of hair.
The novel experiences in the parallel world suddenly energized Erza, who was originally exhausted, and she pestered Noah to listen to her story.
The three of them chatted until very late before going to sleep, and naturally, they didn't set sail until noon the next day to meet up with Natsu, Simon, and the others at the agreed location.
——————————————————
Just as Noah and his party were leisurely sailing, Magnolia was greeted by a group of uninvited guests.
A magical moving castle swaggered into Magnolia and landed on the lake connected to the open space behind Fairy Tail.
The banner of "Spectre Ruler" fluttered in the wind atop the moving structure, and a figure slowly emerged from the magic castle, floating in the sky.
Joseph's gaze swept over Magnolia, a mocking smile slowly appearing on his lips. After nearly a hundred years, Magnolia would finally return to the hands of their Phantom Lords (the Blue Skeletons).
"Lord Joseph, what brings you here today?"
"If they are here as guests, this is a bit too grand and might startle the residents."
Fairy Tail members who remained at the guild followed the commotion, led by Mira, who served as a hostess, butler, and mage.
"Hmph, Demon Mira, you've been behaving yourself a lot lately."
Joseph scoffed at the newcomer, "I'm here today to take over this city and, incidentally, sweep the fairy tails into the trash heap."
Joseph's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone in Fairy Tail.
They've come with ill intentions!
Realizing that Joseph was trying to take advantage of the situation, Mira stopped being polite to him. "Joseph, you've violated the Council's agreement and started a guild war without permission. Can you bear the consequences?"
Joseph said smugly, "You don't know yet, do you? Makarov should have completely destroyed the Council headquarters by now. You know what a crime it is to attack the Council without me having to say more."
"Nonsense! Why would the Chairman attack the Council?"
Mira didn't believe Joseph's words. The Phantom Lords were always despicable, and this guild had been secretly targeting Fairy Tail since its inception.
It wasn't until two years ago, when Joseph was beaten up by Makarov at a guild meeting, that he became well-behaved for a few years.
"Why?"
"Because the council knew that the Fairy Queen's party was in the Tower of Paradise, but disregarded their lives and used [Magical Spirit Power] to destroy the Tower of Paradise."
"If you were Makarov, would you have made a huge scene?"
