The world of Aslant, Magnolia.
Heavy rain poured down, and a giant hole suddenly tore open in the Sky. A pillar of white light once again fell upon that land, and the disappeared Fairy Tail building reappeared in its original location.
However, the members of Fairy Tail did not receive the same treatment. Everyone fell from the Sky, but fortunately, a large group of flying cats helped out, preventing everyone from falling too ungracefully.
"We're back!!"
Landing on his feet, Natsu looked at the intact guild before him. He and Happy hopped and skipped around, looking very excited.
"Great! I was worried that the newly expanded guild would be smashed."
"By the way, why was the building teleported directly to its original spot while we had to fall from the Sky?"
"You don't need to know that much about magic matters."
"I wonder if there'll be another chance to meet our other selves."
"..."
Many members couldn't hide their excitement and began talking all at once.
Although the round trip had only taken about two days, the experience in Edolas made everyone feel as though they had been gone for a long time.
After all... this was traveling between worlds.
But amidst this cheerful atmosphere, Carla had a long face, her gaze fixed intently on the Exceeds who were cheering because of this world's abundant magic, especially a slender white cat.
Wendy came to the little white cat's side. "Carla, don't be angry anymore. Hasn't the misunderstanding been cleared up?"
"Aye, Wendy is right. Besides, with Extalia destroyed, they are homeless now. Our world is much bigger than Edolas, so let them stay."
Happy and Wendy comforted Carla from both sides.
The little white cat tilted her head up tsundere-style. "Fine then, lest people say I'm petty."
Previously, due to Mystogan's description, everyone had a poor impression of the Exceeds of Edolas, but after actually interacting with them, they found that most of these magic cats were actually quite naive.
It turned out that the reason the Exceed race felt superior was entirely due to the deliberate actions of the Exceed Queen and many elders and ministers.
The reason for this was that the Exceed Queen, through her intermittent precognition ability, had seen a future where Extalia fell and was destroyed.
In the eyes of the Exceed high-ranking officials at the time, only the human kingdom could cause Extalia to fall. Therefore, they constantly instilled the theory of Exceed supremacy in the cats and forbade bringing humans into the Exceed Kingdom to avoid exposing the truth that although the Exceed race possessed magic, they were actually very weak.
Although they deceived the cats who didn't know the truth, the Exceed high-ranking officials knew that the future would eventually arrive, and the destruction of Extalia was only a matter of time.
So, hiding it from all the cats, they formulated a race preservation plan to let the children representing the future escape Edolas.
To keep the plan secret, the Exceed high-ranking officials wove a lie, claiming publicly that it was to eliminate the Dragon Slayer Mages of another world.
They forcibly took all the unhatched newborn Exceed eggs away from their parents and quietly sent these Exceed eggs to Aslant through the 'Anima' activated by humans.
This included Happy and Carla.
And Carla was the child of the Exceed Queen.
She inherited her mother's half-baked precognition ability. While she was still an egg, her precognition ability accidentally activated, and she saw the scene of the Exceed Queen announcing the plan to eliminate the Dragon Slayer Mages.
Not knowing the truth, Carla mistakenly thought this was her mission, and her heart had been in a state of conflict ever since.
The reason she didn't treat Happy well was actually because she was very envious of how Happy could be Happy every day without having to worry like she did.
While following Wendy to rescue their companions who had been turned into magic crystals in the Royal City of Edolas, they unexpectedly liberated the imprisoned Exceed race.
From the Exceed Queen's confession, Carla finally realized there was no such thing as a mission; everything was due to her misunderstanding of her precognition ability.
However, this half-baked ability was still somewhat useful.
After all, regardless of the factors, Extalia really was destroyed.
The Exceed Queen led her people to this world, not just because they were homeless in Aslant, but more so because they wanted to find the children who had been sent to Aslant.
Makarov used his connections to find a forest nearby where the Exceed race could live without being disturbed, which was actually the mountain forest where Porlyusica lived in seclusion.
After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, the Exceeds headed to their new home.
Only a black cat with rounded ears stayed behind. This was Lilly, who had changed to the same size as the other magic cats because his true form could not adapt to Aslant.
After a bout of shameless pestering from Gajeel, Lilly finally agreed to become his cat partner.
This made Gajeel incredibly Happy; he finally was a Dragon Slayer Mage with a cat.
"Hey! Fire Dragon! Brat! And Erza!"
"Let your cats and my Lilly have a showdown!"
Gajeel's proposal immediately received a response from Natsu. He never turned down a fight.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, my Lilly is truly the strongest!"
"Happy is also truly a cat! You bastard!"
While Natsu and Gajeel looked ready to fight, Happy, next to them, already wanted to wave a white flag.
Wendy also had a helpless look on her face. Lilly was a genuine general in Edolas, and his strength and status were on par with the Erza of that world.
Asking Happy and Carla to fight Lilly was too much to ask of the cats... "Speaking of which, Erza doesn't have a cat. Why did that idiot with a head full of iron mention her?"
Hope leaned against the bar counter, watching the crowd in the hall who had suddenly started brawling. There wasn't even a plan for the cat war, yet these people had started fighting for no reason.
Mirajane pushed over a glass of wheat juice with a smile. "Maybe it's because you also know 'Aera' magic, so Gajeel treats you as Erza's cat."
"Then he really can't tell humans and cats apart."
Hope turned back to look at Mirajane. "Where's your sister?"
"Ah, Lisanna went home with Elfman. She said she missed her bed."
Mirajane was very Happy when talking about her sister, her eyes curving into crescents. A black Take Over Magic Circle appeared behind her, and in an instant, the gentle Mirajane turned into a cool older sister.
The former S-Class Mage "Demon Mirajane," who had been unable to use magic due to the psychological trauma of Lisanna's death, had now returned because Lisanna had returned.
"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've joined in the fun with everyone. I really miss it..."
She flexed her wrists slightly and looked at the chaotic guild hall. A curve formed at the corners of her mouth, and she then joined Fairy Tail's daily brawl.
"Wow! It's Mirajane! She can use magic!"
"Not good! Everyone, fall back!"
"..."
Listening to the chaotic noise in the hall, Hope silently took a sip of beer. The world is so beautiful, yet these people are so irritable. This isn't good, no... Bang!
Just as Hope was reflecting, he was hit squarely by Natsu, who came flying through the air, and beer spilled all over him.
Hope fell silent. The next second, he grabbed Natsu and performed a human windmill.
Irritability is bad? Bad my ass!
Watch me wipe you all out!
