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

"They might even dare to storm into the Council of Councilors tomorrow. I don't know how we'll stop that monster."

"What about Chikurayn? He's one of the Ten Wizard Saints!" Crawford said in a deep voice.

[Even Chikurein, who was mentioned, was slightly taken aback, then shook his head dismissively: "Not long ago, even Jura of the Ten Wizard Saints was defeated by that monster."]

"You actually dare to place all your hopes on me?"

[“Is there something wrong with my ears, or is there something wrong with your brains?”]

Chapter 222 Gajeel: You'll regret this, Fairy Tail brat!

"Qiku! Are you even that afraid of that guy yourself?"

Mikaelo couldn't help but glance at Chikurein.

"It's not that I'm afraid of that guy, it's just..." Zikurein paused here.

"I have no reason to risk my life against Henna to protect everyone here. No matter the outcome, wouldn't I be the one who suffers?"

She chuckled softly: "Besides, it was you guys who did something dishonest in the first place."

"If we had just turned a blind eye, nothing would have happened. Why did we have to bring it up?"

"Chiku! Is this something you, as a councilor, should say?"

[Zikurain's remarks caused Crawford to frown deeply.]

[To this, Zikurein shrugged: "Since you're not going to take my suggestion, then I won't say anything more."]

"Anyway, no matter what, I can keep myself safe, but those of you here... that's not so certain."

[Click click...]

The sound of clenched teeth echoed.

Crawford stared intently at Zikurein, Ultear, and Yajima, who had previously defended Hanaz.

"I understand now. What you mean... is that we, the Magic Council, are to bow down to a mere brat??"

"What about the reputation of our Magic Council?!"

[He seemed to be getting more and more agitated as he spoke.]

Crawford pointed to the side, holding his scepter.

"That brat, does he really dare to openly defy us??"

"We are the true leaders of the Light Magic world! 20 isn't that brat! Nor is he from Fairy Tail."

"Even that brat's president has to bow down to us. What makes him so special?"

Crawford roared for a long time, almost as if in catharsis.

He took a deep breath and slammed the scepter heavily onto the ground.

The remaining members of parliament couldn't help but exchange glances.

[Especially Ulutia and Zikurein.]

A smile played in both of their eyes.

Ultear crossed her arms and gently shook her head: "So, what is your decision, Speaker?"

"Arrest them!"

Crawford gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice.

"Arrest that guy immediately to uphold the authority of our Magic Council!"

【"Pfft..." Ultear couldn't help but laugh out loud.】

"Ultear!" Crawford roared!

"Okay, okay, then, the key question is, who will go and make the arrest?"

Ultear looked at Crawford with great interest.

"Is there no one left in the Council?" Crawford asked in a deep voice.

"It's not like this is the first time we've arrested that guy."

"Last time... I remember, we arrested someone and even lost our guild, right?" Ultear looked at Crawford.

As if struck on a sore spot, Crawford's face paled.

Ultear continued speaking.

"You need to understand one thing: the reason we were able to capture Natsu last time was because he didn't mind coming to the Magic Council."

"They were just there to scam a new guild."

"To put it bluntly, that's called giving us face, you know?"

"Otherwise, who could bring him back?"

Ultear looked at Mikael: "You?"

Michelo was startled and quickly waved his hands and shook his head.

"How could I possibly be?"

Ultear then looked at Crawford: "Or perhaps, what about you, Speaker?"

Crawford opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But she was immediately interrupted by Ultear.

"And don't even mention dispatching a magic knight order or anything like that. Don't you guys really understand the value of a powerful mage?"

"Those knightly orders are just there to get themselves killed."

"Wasn't the Lala Bay incident clear enough?"

"As for us... let alone Natsu, even Makarov, if they turn against us, they could easily slap us all."

"Not to mention Natsu, who has an even more fiery temper."

"When we all go to meet God together, will we still be sitting here planning the major developments of the magical world?"

With a disdainful laugh, Ultear spoke again: "Everyone, wake up! As ordinary people, you have no idea just how terrifying those at the top of the magical world truly are."

"Unless... you're planning to use magical spirit power to blast Natsu, who's in town?"

Everyone present fell silent.

Using magical spirit power? That's even more impossible.

[Dare to use magical spirit power within the city limits to arrest someone involved in a guild war?]

[It's no exaggeration to say that everyone here should go to jail!]

Crawford, rendered speechless by the rebuttal, couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

In the end, all he could do was sigh and ask, "So, what do you suggest we do?"

"What else can we do?" Ultear rolled her eyes.

"Take care of how you dealt with Phantom Lord's attack on Fairy Tail now."

"So what if a few ghosts died? Their reputation wasn't great anyway."

"If he's dead, he's dead. We'll just pretend we don't know. We'll wait until everything is over."

"Isn't it just an old trick to impose symbolic punishments, like fines or writing self-criticisms?"

At this point, as if remembering something, Ultear spoke again.

"By the way, none of this should be directed at Natsu. After all, given his personality, it's probably unrealistic to expect him to write a self-criticism. If he refuses to write it, there's nothing you can do about it."

"The loss of face will be even greater."

"Just go directly to Makarov. The charge is simply negligence in disciplining him. Anyway, the old man knows him, so he won't care."

"That way, everyone saves face, and you can continue being your representatives, speakers, and so on."

"Don't spend all day looking for something to do and then put yourself on the hot seat."

Outside the sky.

Upon seeing this, Makarov immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Makarov: "No! What do you mean??"

"How come I'm being blamed for this??"

Mirajane: "Well, President, calm down, calm down. That's another version of you from another world, so why get angry?"

Makarov: "Does it matter? What I care about are those guys in the council."

"It's not just that world; even in our world, when have we ever been punished? Just because I'm easy to bully?"

"I'm so angry!!!"

Bob: "Since Old Ma is so angry... why don't we just go and confront the council directly!"

"Just like Honez, use your strength to shut those guys up."
