Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

She was so young that tears and fear still clung to her young face...

But then I thought of my older sister and brother huddled in the corner behind me.

An indescribable anger seemed to make her forget her fear.

He roared angrily at the group of familiar yet unfamiliar villagers outside.

"It was Mira who helped repel the demon wreaking havoc in the church!"

"She fought off the demon for the sake of this village..."

"You guys have gone too far!!!"

"She was possessed by a demon in order to fight it off..."

"Mira was right!"

"No mistake..."

The girl's voice grew fainter and fainter; she even began to crawl on the broken windowsill.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, and soft sobs escaped her lips.

However, the girl's heartfelt explanation did not evoke sympathy from the group; on the contrary, it thoroughly enraged them.

"A demon is a demon!"

"If it weren't for her, how could we be living in fear!"

"All of this is because of you! A family cursed by the devil!!"

Another stone was hurled directly at the white-haired girl.

Erza, who had been watching this scene, could no longer hold back.

[He immediately intended to step forward.]

But another figure seems even faster!

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the open space in front of the house and caught the stone.

Henna raised his head.

"Although I don't know the whole story, or the true nature of the matter, to do something like this before drawing any conclusions..."

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

Chapter 116 Lisanna: Something terrible has happened!

【"Click!!"】

The stone, which Haku was holding, instantly shattered into dust.

[As the gentle breeze blew, it scattered everywhere.]

Perhaps it's because of Honez's sudden appearance.

[Or perhaps it's because of that scene where he could crush stones with his bare hands.]

This shocked the villagers.

In an instant, the villagers, who had been making a ruckus just moments before, fell silent.

His gaze involuntarily swept over the black Natsu in front of him.

He looked like a young man, but the heroic spirit between his brows was something most people lacked.

This is a quality that has gradually formed over time through self-confidence.

Indeed, it intimidated everyone present.

Erza immediately stepped forward upon seeing this.

His gaze swept across the scene.

"We understand your fear of demons, but... how can we draw conclusions when nothing is certain?"

"Besides..."

Erza paused here, then continued, "Besides, even if she really is a demon, she didn't harm you, did she?"

"To conclude that the people inside are utterly wicked based on this alone is a bit too hasty, isn't it?"

"By the way, who exactly are you people?"

"This is a matter within our village; it's none of your business."

"Yes, yes, and besides, you don't need to try to persuade us. Our village can't possibly accommodate that cursed family."

Just then, the teahouse waiter who had led Black Natsu and Erza over earlier also rushed over.

[The villagers were informed that Natsu and Erza were both mages.]

"A mage??"

"Have we issued any commissions?"

"So, has the mage taken over this matter?"

The crowd began to murmur again.

Henaz calmly observed these people.

Compared to wasting time arguing with these people, Henna was more eager to see the person possessed by a demon.

Then, verify your idea.

He then waved his hand, interrupting the crowd's discussion.

"Listen up, we are members of the Fairy Tail guild, a magic guild."

"From now on, I'm in charge of dealing with demons, so you should all go home."

"We'll deal with the demons."

[Upon hearing Henna's words, an elderly man, leaning on a cane, stepped forward from the crowd.]

"Since it's a mage who wants to take on this matter, that's perfect."

"If you can deal with the demons, our village will do everything in our power to repay you."

Henaz waved his hand dismissively, showing no interest in the matter.

"Alright, you can all go back now."

"Being a mage is very dangerous. If you're not afraid of death, you can stay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Haku turned around, beckoned Erza, and headed towards the building.

The villagers behind were very curious about how this young mage intended to deal with the demon.

However, Henna's last words still echoed in their ears.

Faced with a crucial life-or-death decision, even their curiosity had to be put aside.

One by one, they gradually left this place.

The entire scene outside was witnessed by the white-haired little girl who was perched on the windowsill.

[Especially when they heard that the boy and girl who suddenly appeared were actually mages!]

The little girl with white hair panicked.

Although she had always lived in this secluded village, she had still heard stories from the occasional travelers who passed through.

Mages are beings far superior to ordinary people.

Their immense power makes them virtually invincible; in fact, an ordinary mage could easily handle a dozen or even twenty ordinary people.

The little girl with white hair was really frightened.

[Immediately slammed the windows shut and hurriedly ran to a corner of the room.]

Here, a figure completely shrouded in a hoodie is huddled in this small corner.

Beside the figure stood a white-haired boy in a blue suit, shivering.

"Mira! Elfman, something terrible has happened!"

The little girl with white hair looked extremely flustered.

Hearing her call, the figure completely shrouded in a hood slowly raised its head.

It was an exquisitely beautiful face, but at this moment, the eyes on that beautiful face were red and swollen, as if they were crying.

The person known as Sister Mila also had silver-white hair, but it was covered by a hood, with only a few strands showing.

"Lisanna? What's wrong? The noise outside seems to have subsided a lot."

"That's because! A mage has arrived!"

Lisanna was almost in tears, clutching her older sister's clothes and frantically searching the room.

"We have to get out of here quickly, climb out the back window!"

"Hurry, hurry! If the mage finds us, we're doomed!"
