"This is a secluded village, mostly self-sufficient, with only a small portion coming from the occasional visitor."

"We've handled similar cases before, but the pay was too low, and the ones we were interested in... couldn't solve the problems here."

"Powerful mages...don't care about that little bit of money, so they've been dragging it out until now."

"So much so that he was released by that orphan."

The two people behind him nodded slightly.

However, no statement was made.

Help is welcome, but only within my capabilities, such as things that are easy to do, and only if I am personally interested in them.

If anyone could get help by playing the victim, wouldn't Henna be overwhelmed with work?

The world suffers too much; we can't help everyone.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the church.

The sacred glory is long gone; all that remains in the church is an aura of evil.

"I can't go any further ahead. I don't know why, but ever since we discovered the demon had been unsealed this morning, we haven't been able to get close to this church."

"Once you get close, you'll feel nauseous, want to vomit, and experience other uncomfortable symptoms; it could even drive you crazy."

The young man stopped in front of the church.

"If you're going in, be careful. This morning, someone went in and went crazy."

"Crazy??" Black Natsu stared at the young man.

"Then, what about the person you said infiltrated the church last night and released the demon? Isn't she insane?"

"Her?" the young man said after a moment's thought.

"No, it's just that the arm has already become the arm of a demon, and who knows, it might completely turn into a demon one day. So, this is also a request from our town."

"If you can, we really hope you can help. If you can truly eliminate the demon, we will do everything in our power to repay you."

Seeing the young man bow to them, HyunA and Erza exchanged a glance.

"We'll see. I just happened to be passing by and came here to take a look. I might not be able to help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Haku turned to look at Erza.

"I'm going to go take a look too, so don't even think about leaving me here."

Seemingly having his thoughts guessed, Black Natsu shook his head helplessly.

"Then come with me, but be careful. If you feel unwell, we'll back out."

Soon, the two entered the church together.

The soaring demonic energy was indeed making Black Natsu uncomfortable; in fact, for some reason, his heart was even beating faster.

However, strangely enough, Henna didn't experience any nausea or dizziness.

On the contrary, this racing heart feeling is more like...excitement?

This puzzled Henna.

Upon entering the church, Henaz could sense that the symptoms the villagers described were caused by the lingering demonic energy.

But why do I feel excited?

Thinking of this, Hazen turned his head and looked at Erza.

[His pupils contracted slightly!]

"Huh? What's wrong??"

Erza looked at Black Natsu with a puzzled expression.

"Didn't you feel nauseous or anything like that?"

[Honatsu couldn't help but ask.]

"No, it's probably because we Dragon Slayer Mages have stronger constitutions."

As Erza spoke, she turned her gaze towards the direction of the church statue.

It was a towering statue of a deity, several meters tall, with its hands clasped together and a large hole in its chest, seemingly a hole that held some kind of emotional attachment.

But now, there is nothing at all.

Henatsu also walked over, looked around, and focused mainly on the statue.

"This must be the place where the demon was sealed before, right?"

"The residual magic power is still considerable; this demon is likely not simple."

"Indeed, not simple." Henaz turned and walked out of the church.

"Where are you going?"

Erza quickly followed.

"Go see the person who broke the demon's seal; the demon might really be inside her."

"I want to get up close and personal with a demon and see what happens."

After saying this, Henaz stepped out of the church.

[And they found the young man and asked him to lead the way to the person who released the demon.]

Beyond the sky.

Jelf, who was watching the sky, also frowned slightly.

What just happened clearly aroused Jelf's suspicion.

It is said that Honez becomes excited when faced with demonic aura.

Jelf understood.

After all, the strongest demonic power is hidden within Honez's body.

Honez's immense power was accompanied by the awakening of demonic power to a certain extent.

Therefore, such performance is not surprising.

But... what about Erza?

What's going on with Erza?

Why is she also immune to the effects of the demonic aura?

Jelf stroked his chin with one hand, his gaze lost in thought.

[The scene is being fast-forwarded.]

Soon, led by the young man, Henna and Erza arrived at a solitary house.

Surprisingly, the area around the house was already densely packed with people.

Some of them carried hoes, while others held shovels.

He roared angrily at the house.

"Damn it! Get out!!"

"A cursed family!"

"Get out of our village!"

"How long does this demon-possessed guy intend to stay in the village?"

"It is because of you that there is an endless stream of calamities!"

Even worse, some people picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the windows of the house.

【boom----】

The sound of shattering glass could be heard.

Inside the Fairy Tail guild.

The members all frowned at that moment.

"This... these are Mirajane and the others when they were little, right?"

"How could those people do this? I remember Mirajane was the one who helped them accept the demon, wasn't she?"

"To be treated like a demon is truly despicable."

The members of the guild all spoke out in support of the injustice.

Meanwhile, Mirajane and his two companions in the crowd witnessed this scene.

Unpleasant memories also flooded back to my mind.

One by one, they all lowered their heads.

He looked a little lonely.

[The window shattered by a rock.]

A small, white-haired figure could no longer resist and came to the window.
