Fairy Tail ultimately decided to move house.
Although the enemy was defeated, their hiding place was also exposed, so continuing to stay here might attract more reinforcements.
So everyone packed up their equipment, and immediately had 'Reby' activate the teleportation magic array to make a run for it.
This decision was undoubtedly correct, because not long after, 'Erza', with blood still at the corner of her mouth, charged to Fairy Tail's original location with a long spear.
"Damn it!"
Being a bit late, 'Erza' staggered back, wielding her flaming long spear to burn the webs and rescue her subordinates.
Although Fairy Tail had always managed to escape before, they could always instill fear, but this time, the King's Army was completely defeated, and even Shugboy was seriously injured!
The Second and Fourth Demon Battle Teams lost all their face!
"Fairy Tail of Aslan?" After setting the fire, 'Erza' combined her two spears into one, "See you in the Royal Capital!"
...
On the other side, Rhode just felt the ground shake violently twice, then heard 'Reby' shout, "The move is over, you bastards!"
As soon as the guild landed, 'Lucy' immediately started arguing with 'Reby': "You were dragging your feet, took too long! If not for the outside help, it could have been dangerous this time!"
"It's your fault, who told you to interrupt me at random?"
The two of them were forehead to forehead, refusing to give in.
Wendy, who had originally been lying on the ground, stood up to see them arguing, with the usually quiet Reby both calling each other 'bastard' and 'idiot' with coarse language.
The Fairy Tail of the Otherworld is truly strange.
"Um... are you okay?" Lisana helped Natsu lift Rhode up.
Rhode waved his hand: "I'm fine, just too much magic power consumption, a few minutes of rest will do."
Lisana wondered: "Such a large amount of magic power, how could a few minutes be enough..."
"Of course that is..." Rhode was stunned, oh no, out of mana, it might take a few hours to rest this time.
Natsu impatiently said: "Rhode, Wendy, let's head out quickly!"
Wendy asked: "Eh? Aren't we waiting for Brother Rhode to rest a bit?"
"I can carry him, resting slowly on the way will be fine!"
This time Rhode also agreed with Natsu: "A bit later means a bit more changes, let's set out earlier."
As for safety issues, just taking two pieces of equipment each will do, after all, they just seized quite a lot.
Rhode casually picked a suitably sized arm armor, and also carried that strange sword.
Natsu managed to find something suitable as well, Wendy had to make do with whatever was left.
Hapi and Carla each picked up a gauntlet, and if it worked, just took it along.
'Lucy' stopped arguing, worriedly asked: "Did you really decide? Such important things, the Royal Capital will definitely be heavily guarded, even with that big monster..."
Rhode said: "We have to go no matter what, because our most important people are there."
"That's right, we must definitely rescue them!" Natsu placed one of Rhode's hands on his shoulder, supporting him with a bright smile.
Wendy nodded, following the two of them as they walked out.
Hapi and Carla quickly followed.
Rhode looked back at the remaining pile of equipment: "Right, you can have the extra ones, or treat it as mission rewards, please help us gather as much intel as possible before we truly rescue our comrades."
"Lisana."
'Mira' and 'Elfman' softly called her name, though reluctant, they were encouraging her with their eyes.
"Sister Mira, Brother Elf..." The words they needed to say had been said silently between the three, and with tears in her eyes, Lisana ran out of the guild.
"Hey, Mira..." Lucy looked at the sibling pair in confusion.
"Can we explain later?" 'Mira' watched the group's figures fade into the distance, silently praying for them in her heart.
...
"Wait, wait, wait..." Rhode looked in surprise at the girl catching up to join them, "You said you're Lisana?"
Lisana had dried her tears, trying her best to smile: "Mhm."
Natsu said naturally: "Rhode, are you an idiot? Lisana is Lisana, after all."
Rhode, lacking the energy to punch him, had to explain: "No, I mean, is she our guild's Lisana, not someone from Edolas?"
Natsu said: "Of course, her looks, voice, and scent are exactly the same as Lisana's."
Rhode said: "The scent of this Mira is also exactly the same as our Mira's, when I first came here, even the Shadow Wolf got it wrong."
Natsu was taken aback: "Is that so?!"
Lisana covered her mouth, laughing quietly, feeling that Natsu hadn't changed a bit.
Hapi clinged onto Lisana's shoulder: "Hey, Lisana, how did you come here?"
Lisana patted Hapi's head: "Actually, that time when I went on a mission with Sister Mira and Brother Elf, even though I was hit by the out-of-control Brother Elf, I was just injured.
"And it might have been because there was a small anima opening nearby, and since this world's Lisana coincidentally passed away, I was absorbed over here."
Hapi, sticking to her, asked pitifully: "Then, why didn't you come back? I missed you so much, I was sad for so long after that incident."
"Because under those circumstances, I really couldn't tell the truth, and also the atmosphere in the guild... In short, the longer I stayed in the guild, the less I could bring myself to say it.
"And I didn't know how to return to Aslan, so I've been pretending to be this world's Lisana, thinking at least not to let this world's Sister Mira and Brother Elf be sad.
"In the end, it turns out they had already noticed, though I guess they didn't want to tear it apart before, but now, Sister Mira, Brother Elf and other comrades are all waiting for us…"
"No wonder they wanted to entrust my task to you." Rhode remarked.
Just as Mira said, Lisana is a kind child, always thinking about others.
Wendy smiled and said: "This world's Miss Mira and Mr. Elfman are good people too."
Natsu laughed heartily: "Because it's Fairy Tail!"
Everyone shared a knowing smile.
Carla, who had been tense all along, also relaxed a bit; perhaps it was precisely because Fairy Tail is such a guild that she was willing to follow these fools on their adventure here.
"By the way, you're Wendy, right? So cute, did you just recently join the guild?"
"Ah, yes! Um, um…" Wendy stuttered, wanting to ask about what kind of person this world's Wendy was and how she became like that, but couldn't voice it.
Lisana walked while chatting with Wendy, getting to know each other.
Then, Lisana looked towards Rhode.
For a moment, she didn't know what expression to wear facing Rhode, finally choosing a slightly mischievous tone: "You're Mr. Rhode… right? Or should I call you… brother-in-law?"
This sweet call of brother-in-law filled Rhode's heart with joy, a sister-in-law is surely cuter than a brother-in-law.
He decisively removed the sword he carried: "Indeed, I am your sister's fiancé, nothing much for a first meeting, take this Rose Sword as a greeting gift, for protection."
Lisana was surprised: "This is what the Captain of the Fourth Demon Combat Team used, it's very precious."
"It doesn't matter." Rhode wasn't heartbroken at all, and the smile on his face was unstoppable: "Mira would be overjoyed to know you're okay."
Lisana finally accepted the gift, and seeing Rhode's expression, she also laughed.
Was it because her sister would be happy that he seemed so happy?
Looks like her sister found someone quite wonderful.
While they had time on the road, Lisana asked a basket of questions:
"So, how did you join the guild?"
"When did you and my sister start dating?"
"Oh, is the wedding date set yet, is there still time?"
"And… did my sister force you? (super quiet)"
