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

Makarov, with a somber expression, offered no further explanation.

"Just wait quietly for the results."

[Just then!]

【boom! 】

The tightly closed door was suddenly kicked open.

Loki, wearing a green jacket and gold-rimmed glasses, burst in.

"Everyone!! They're back!!"

"They're back? Natsu and the others?"

"Where's Erza? And Mira? Are they both back?"

"They've only been gone a short while, what happened?"

Faced with the guild members' confusion, Loki shook his head, equally bewildered.

"I'm not entirely sure, anyway, you guys see."

As he spoke, Loki stepped aside, and through the open doorway, everyone could clearly see three figures emerging at the end of the street.

[There's no mistake; they've known each other since childhood, they would never mistake Black Natsu and the others.]

Even Makarov, who was sitting cross-legged at the bar with a gloomy expression, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're back...it's good that you're back..."

"But the trial ended so quickly, I'm afraid they've been charged with some crime again, and I wonder how much money they'll have to pay in compensation, but..."

"Money is just an external thing; as long as you're safe and sound, that's all that matters."

With this thought in mind, Makarov jumped off the bar and walked forward.

The three quickly returned to the guild amidst cheers from the crowd.

"Are you all alright?"

Makarov squeezed through the crowded throng, his worried gaze constantly scanning the three people in the darkness.

Erza gently shook her head at this: "Don't worry, we'll be fine."

"That's good..." Makarov breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, what was the verdict this time, and how much compensation do they have to pay?"

When Makarov questioned them, Erza and Mirajane exchanged a strange glance.

"What happened? Tell me quickly!"

Makarov started to panic when he didn't get an answer right away.

Black Natsu, however, spoke nonchalantly: "It's nothing, just the loss of our guild."

[Upon hearing this!]

Makarov froze instantly!

The surrounding crowd was instantly struck as if by lightning!

[Standing frozen in place!!]

Lucy's eyes widened, and her mouth involuntarily opened. 767 [Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "A...a guild??"]

Erza and Mirajane nodded slightly.

"President! President! What's wrong with you??"

"Cheer up!!"

[Miraj had barely finished speaking when Makarov's eyes rolled back, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.]

Fortunately, Lisanna and Levy caught Makarov in time.

"You...you move aside..."

Makarov, his hands trembling, pushed Lisanna and Levy away.

He staggered forward two steps.

It felt as if the whole world was spinning.

[For the first time, his aged body displayed the behaviors befitting his age.]

[He walks with a wobbly, unsteady gait.]

My whole body was trembling uncontrollably...

Lisanna, somewhat worried, tried to step forward to support Makarov.

[But Makarov immediately refused: "Don't worry about me, I just have a little high blood pressure, I'll be fine once I'm dead."]

As he spoke, he turned his head tremblingly to look around at the place where he had lived for decades.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

"I'm doomed... I'm doomed... If the First and Second Hokage find out about this, they'll kill me... They definitely will..."

"I actually... I actually... lost the entire guild..."

"I...I...I..."

"What are you doing, Chairman?" Henaz looked at Makarov with some confusion.

"The compensation I'm referring to is the council giving us a guild in return."

[Honatsu crossed his arms and said this.]

Makarov's trembling body suddenly stopped!

She turned her head, blinked, and asked, "What...did you say?"

"I said, the Magic Council gave us a new guild as compensation," Hanatsu repeated.

Perhaps this is a bit too shocking.

The entire guild hesitated for two seconds.

[After pondering Haku's words for a long time, the moment I finally understood them...]

【"ah?!!!"】.

Chapter 198 Laxus: I'm very disappointed in you!

It took Makarov a long while to gradually come to his senses.

They inquired in detail about what had happened.

[Thanks to Erza and Mirajane's vivid descriptions, everyone finally understood what had happened.]

Everyone was deeply impressed by Black Natsu's boldness and meticulousness.

This is the first time in all these years that Fairy Tail has truly gotten their revenge at the Magic Council.

Who would have thought that the person who was supposed to be on trial would not only escape unscathed, but would also turn around and cause trouble for a prestigious guild of the Magic Council?

This is just too far-fetched, isn't it?

[To celebrate the safe return of Henna and the others, and also to celebrate the upcoming guild renovation.]

The group immediately decided to hold a banquet.

That night, the joyful sounds of the Fairy Tail members echoed through the sky.

The banquet lasted until very late.

Countless people got completely drunk, collapsing one after another onto the floor, chairs, bar counter, and elsewhere...

The entire guild was littered with people lying haphazardly, and the sound of snoring gradually replaced the noise.

【call……】

Hellotz looked at Mirajane, who had collapsed straight down in front of him, and couldn't help but smile.

[Given his physique, drinking alcohol is like drinking water to him.]

[It's a piece of cake.]

Mirajane's audacity in challenging me to a drinking contest is nothing short of humiliation.

"Hehe... don't run away... today... I have to drink you..."

Mirajane, who had collapsed onto the table, smacked his lips and made indistinct sounds.

Hearing this, Haku shook his head slightly.

"What a stubborn guy."

A gentle breeze blew in through the wide-open window, causing Mirajane, who was sprawled on the table, to shiver involuntarily.

This scene was witnessed by Black Natsu.

He smiled helplessly, then took off his jacket and gently draped it over Mirajane.
