Chapter 421 New Team, All S-Rank!
When Chase and his companions returned to the tavern, most of their friends had already left, leaving only a few drunkards passed out on the ground.
At the bar, Future Yajima had already left, and Makarov, Future Marcao, and the bar owner were gathered together, with lewd laughter occasionally escaping from time to time.
It's obvious without even looking that these three people are discussing sophisticated topics like human artistic beauty.
"Chairman!" Mira frowned and walked straight over.
"Huh? Ah! Mimimira, didn't you go straight back to the hotel?" Makarov was startled and shrank back guiltily.
Mira didn't answer; her kind gaze swept down from above, landing on the latest swimsuit photo album between the two of them.
"Cough cough, who put this useless stuff here?"
Makarov coughed twice, then frantically winked at the tavern owner across the street, "Hey boss, this is where you're wrong!"
Seeing that things were not going well, Future Macaron quietly and silently disappeared.
"Oh, so it's the boss's stuff?" Mira laughed.
The sweet smile, however, was incredibly effective in the eyes of the tavern owner, who immediately confessed, "Yes, Mr. Makarov asked me to buy it for an extra fee!"
"Better to sacrifice a friend than myself," he thought, having spent the last few nights with Fairy Tail, he knew perfectly well who he shouldn't offend.
"Hey!!" Makarov exclaimed in surprise.
"Confiscated."
Ignoring his heartbroken and lingering gaze, Mira ruthlessly grabbed the photo album and casually handed it to Chase beside her.
Chess glanced at it and then handed it to Erza.
"Wow, how audacious!" Erza blushed at the sight of the contents.
After a lecture.
A golden magic circle flickered, and a magical barrier that isolated perception enveloped Chess, his two companions, and Makarov.
"As expected, I couldn't hide it from Old Asia after all," Chess sighed softly.
As he had previously predicted, Yajima eventually came to realize the existence of the two worlds.
However, according to Makarov, he didn't initially think in that direction; he was simply concerned about the subtle changes in the Fairy Tail members.
"Mr. Yajima should be able to keep this a secret for us, right?" Erza asked.
"Given my relationship with him in this world, that's for sure!"
Makarov patted his chest proudly, "After the Grand Magic Games, just invite him to the guild for a bowl of fairy ramen with twelve pieces of char siu."
Even without this connection, Ajima wouldn't say much in the future—with both Fairy Tail characters participating at the same time, the Grand Magic Games would probably end on the first day!
"Oh my, your friendship is really cheap~" Mira covered her mouth and laughed.
The future Makarov in the card looked matter-of-fact and said, "Well, this is already the highest level of treatment for that guy, Xiaoya."
"Speaking of which, there must be something else you want to say, since you've gone to such lengths to keep it so secret."
Makarov glanced at the shimmering magical barrier around them, then his relaxed expression vanished as he looked at Chess. "Where did you guys go?"
He learned from Levy and the others in the future that the place Chase and the others went to was related to dragons.
"In the underground mines of the Grand Magic Games arena, where dragon skeletons are everywhere, Chess took a sip of the red tea Mira handed him and gave a brief account of what he had just seen and heard."
"That Acnologia is actually a Dragon Slayer Mage?"
"Dragon King's Sacrifice, I never imagined there was such a history four hundred years ago. No wonder the Kingdom of Fiore is so obsessed with the Gate of Eclipse!"
After listening, the two Makarovs looked serious and were quite surprised.
As for Chase's plan to use the Eclipse Gate to fight the dragon, they remained relatively calm, having already guessed the general idea last night.
"You guys are really lucky to have traveled through time at such a crucial moment—" Future Makarov sighed with lingering fear.
Compared to Mira and Erza, who were more worried about Chess's safety, the problem he was thinking about was much more serious.
According to Kirkonis, it's not hard to deduce that the Eclipse Gate is most likely connected to the continent where dragons roamed four hundred years ago.
Moreover, it's the region where the faction opposes coexistence with humans resides!
If Fairy Tail hadn't appeared in the other world, and if Chess hadn't foreseen all of this, Princess Emerald would have opened the Eclipse Gate when everyone was completely unprepared.
The consequences are chilling to even think about!
"Chess, I'll say it again: if you're confident, go for it, but make sure it's safe!" Makarov solemnly instructed.
"Don't worry, old man, don't forget, Mira and Erza are here too," Chase said with a smile.
The power of the dragons is indeed terrifying; any one of them could plunge Jura, the fifth of the Ten Holy Trins, into despair.
But when it comes to fighting a group battle against an entire dragon horde, he has a whole host of tricks up his sleeve.
Even if something unexpected happens, we can just destroy the Eclipse Gate!
This dirty work is exhausting, cough cough, this glorious and arduous task, the two old horses are definitely the best candidates. Mira and Erza blushed when their hands were suddenly grasped, turned their heads away without saying a word or struggling.
He thought to himself with disdain: "He's just being willful, why does he have to drag us into it?"
Makarov saw their expressions and, although he had long since accepted it, he couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.
Why are the two most beautiful flowers in the guild stuck on top of this lumpy Chase?
In the future, Makarov wouldn't be as grief-stricken as him: "No matter what, the most important thing right now is to win the Grand Magic Games championship for 30 million J—oh no, I mean, let's win it!"
Upon hearing "thirty million," Makarov's dejection vanished, and his fighting spirit was rekindled: "That's for sure!"
"We had already discussed this while you were away."
"Our first appearance after the team's reorganization must be a high-spirited affair. Tomorrow, the three of you, along with Laxus and Lucy, will be on the field!"
Upon hearing this, Mira was taken aback at first, then immediately reacted and laughed, "Wouldn't it be a bit too much to have everyone be an S-rank mage?"
"The competitive events are fine, but judging from the organizer's style, they'll probably designate other substitute players for the matches, right?" Erza analyzed seriously.
"That's right, so its bigger role is actually to go up and scare the other guilds."
Seemingly recalling the desperate expressions on the faces of Bobu's old buddies, who were under immense pressure, the two Makarovs simultaneously let out a sinister laugh. They were truly blessed to have such old friends!
"Then, old man, about my suspension status..." Chase was more concerned about whether he could be removed from the ban list.
I don't really care that much, I just thought of mentioning it.
The two Makarovs glanced at each other simultaneously, and after a moment's thought, said in unison, "To be determined."
