"You want to be a Wizard Saint now? Have you forgotten that you've refused that position before?" asks Jura.
"This & that are different matters. I refused it in the past because they wanted to make me leave my guild. But now with Master Makarov gone, I need to secure my guild's reputation. The fastest way is with me, the Guild Master, becomes a Wizard Saint like 3rd Master," says Ben.
Jura & Ooba think about it for a while and it really makes sense. Also, both of them think that there is no one more suitable to replace Makarov than Ben. He has all requirements needed to be a Wizard Saint and he is their ally.
"What do you think, Ooba Babasaama?" asks Jura.
"Don't ask me! You are the one he asked for help. But well, if it's me, then I will help him," says Ooba.
Jura smiles and says, "Then, I will gladly help you. But please don't make a ruckus like last time."
"Sorry but, I can't promise that because a ruckus will surely happen. Don't worry though, it won't be that bad," says Ben while smirking.
Jura sighs as he starts to regret his decision. "A Fairy Tail Mage will always be a Fairy Tail Mage."
Ben smirks and says, "Thanks for the compliment."
The 3 then discuss a few more things regarding their guilds. Ben also asks Ooba Babasaama for advice on being a Guild Master. Without Makarov, he can only ask other guilds' Guild Master like Ooba Babasaama.
While they talk, Mira & Bella are also talking with Lyon's group while having lunch.
"What will you do after this, Mira?" asks Sherry.
"We will go to Blue Pegasus to tell them the news ourselves. They are allied with both our guilds and have helped Fairy Tail during this crisis. At the very least, we need to visit them and tell them that we are fine now," says Mira.
Sherry suddenly becomes happy and says, "Then, I want to ask for a favor. Can you deliver something for me to someone in Blue Pegasus?"
"I don't mind, but who is this person?" asks Mira.
"It's that Ren guy, she is dating him now," says Lyon.
"Eh? I thought you like Lyon," says Mira with a surprised tone.
"Yes, I like Lyon. But I've realized that it's not love, it's admiration. The one I feel for Ren is the real love feeling," says Sherry dramatically.
Mira is quite dumbfounded and Bella says, "Weirdo."
"Shh! Bella, you shouldn't say that in front of the person. It will hurt her even though it's true so you need to talk behind their back," says Mira in low voice, but everyone hears her.
"You are ruder than her, you know," says Yuka with a sweatdrop.
"That is fine, Yuka. I have heard many jealous words toward my love, so it's fine," says Sherry dramatically again.
"Well, if you're fine with it then it's okay. But I don't think that they are jealous of you. Rather, it's you who are jealous of them, right?" asks Yuka.
"Ugh!" says Sherry while holding her heart as if it is in pain.
"Jealous of who?" asks Mira.
"You, of course. The story of Ben protecting you from the dragon even though it almost killed him has become a very famous love story. People even say that he is like a knight protecting his princess even at the cost of his life. Many women become very jealous of you who receive such a strong love from your lover," says Lyon.
"I heard that artists have made it into stories, songs, paints, etc. Your story is a hot topic even to this day," says Yuka.
"I-I've heard that it become famous, but not to this extent," says Mira.
"Well, it's not every day for there are people who survived a battle with Dragon at this age. Even more so for the survivors to be a couple, that's just a very good story for people because it's just like a fairy tale," says Lyon.
"Bella survive!" says Bella angrily because Lyon doesn't mention her.
"Hahaha, I know, I'm sorry. People also know about you, of course. Some storytellers even describe you as their daughter though, a human, instead of a cat," says Lyon.
"Sister!" says Bella angrily.
"Huh? What do you mean?" asks Lyon confusedly.
"Haha, Bella is Ben's sister, right? Not daughter," says Mira.
"Oh, so that's what you mean," says Lyon while nodding.
Bella nods satisfied, making the others laugh at it. They continue to talk while having their lunch and wait for Ben, Ooba, & Jura. But even until they finish their lunch, the 3 haven't finished.
"I don't think they will finish soon. Ben said that there are many things that he wants to talk about with them," says Mira.
"Then, why don't we go around the town while waiting for them?" asks Tobi.
"Explore!" says Bella excitedly.
They all agree and leave the guildhall to explore the town. They go to various places with Lyon's group acting as guides. Mira & Bella really enjoy the exploration because they can see many new things.
Ben finishes his discussion at 6 PM and it will be dark soon. So he decides to stay here tonight and the girls agree. They rent a room in a hotel and Ben uses a sleep spell on Bella to make sure she doesn't wake up when he & Mira do their nightly ritual.
The next day, Ben's group leaves Margaret Town after bidding their farewell to Lamia Scale Mages. Then they go to Blue Pegasus located far in the north while Lamia Scale is in the south. It will be fast if Ben drives at full speed, but he chooses to enjoy the trip and drives slowly.
They even stop in some towns along the way for sightseeing and buy things. When the group finally arrives at Blue Pegasus, it's already 6 PM. They left Lamia Scale at 8 AM, so they've spent 10 hours getting here.
But because they arrived quite late, they are allowed to enter the town in their car because the streets are quite empty. They drive to the Blue Pegasus and Ben stops the car right in front of the building, gathering the Mages' attention.
"Woah, who's magic vehicle is this? So flashy & cool," says a male teen mage.
"Eh? Isn't this," says Hibiki as he recognizes the car.
"Long time no see, Hibiki.... and the other 2," says Ben as he gets out of the car.
"OI! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THE OTHER 2?" yells Ren & Eve angrily.
"Haha, sorry, I don't remember your names," says Ben guiltily.
"THAT'S EVEN WORSE!" yells them again.
"How could you forget our names? We've been going through a lot of danger together," says Eve dramatically.
"Really? I don't think that mission was that dangerous. Oracion Seis wasn't as strong as I thought, after all," says Ben nonchalantly.
Hibiki, Eve & Ren slumped down depressedly as Hibiki says, "Of course, it's not dangerous. But it only applies to you and Jura. We are just normal people compared to monsters like you."
Ben's group sweatdrops at them who get depressed and ruin the mood. So Ben changes the topic immediately.
"Where's Ichiya?" asks Ben to change the topic.
Suddenly, the guild's main door opens and a bright light shines from inside. Ben doesn't even know when the door was closed after everyone came out. Then they all can see a small silhouette of a man in the center.
"So he was busy preparing his entrance," says Ben with a sweatdrop.
The light dimmed and now everyone can see Ichiya posing there. He bites a flower as he looks at Ben's group. Then he slides on the floor toward Ben's group and everyone from Blue Pegasus parts to make way for him as they also pose to support him.
Ichiya arrives in front of Ben's group and says, "It seems you all have recovered, Ben-kun, Miss Mira, and young Bella. *Sniff sniff* Your perfume smells really great today."
Flowery effect spreads among the Blue Pegasus Mages. It is supposed to be a beautiful scene, but Ben's group can't see the beauty of it. They can only stay silent with dumbfounded expressions there.
Ben even says, "I think our guild isn't the craziest."
