The setting sun...
Dusk enveloped Magnolia Town.
In the town where Fairy Tail Guild located, a group of Fairy Tail Member walked out of the guild together, singing and cheering.
As long as the Fairy Tail Guild was still here for a day, every day was a festival and a banquet for the member.
Kinana, who had a head of short purple hair, was tired for the whole day. She changed into her own dress and was ready to go shopping with her companions in town.
Because of the fame of the Fairy Tail, recently the number of members had increased. Kinana had a lot more work every day than usual. Of course, the salary she could receive from the Fairy Tail was also increasing. This was probably a kind of pain and happiness for the logistics of the demon tail.
But honestly, Kinana did not care about the salary. She just liked to be happy with the Fairy Tail and stay together happily.
She enjoyed this kind of liveliness and did not care whether her work was hard or not.
The reason why she came out to shop today was also because of Fairy Tail's Guild Master, Makarov. Seeing that Kinana was always on work, he was afraid that it would be too hard for Kinana, so he specially ordered Kinana to go outside and skive. It was also because of this that Kinana would take off her usual clothes and change into the new clothes that Evan had given her during the New Year. However, she had never worn new clothes before, so she was ready to go out and take a good look at this familiar and unfamiliar town.
"Hu..."
Just as Kinana was wearing a plain dress and a beautiful hat that covered the sun on her head, she was planning to go with her companions to the street. Suddenly, with a cool breeze, the hat on her head was unfortunately swept away by the wind and floated towards the garden in the distance.
"What's wrong with Kinana?"
Kinana's companion in the distance looked at Kinana who suddenly stopped and asked.
"En... It's fine! You guys go to the street first! I will come later..."
Kinana smiled at her companions. Because she had accidentally lost her hat, she did not have any intention of asking her companions to help look for her.
"Then we will wait for you on the street in front of us. Hurry up..."
The sisters who were working with Kinana at the Fairy Tail laughed after hearing Kinana's words.
"En..."
After Kinana heard the sisters' words, she gently nodded her head and smiled at the sisters. Then she went straight to the garden where the hat was blown up by the wind.
Kinana passed through the grass and entered the garden full of flowers. She smelled the refreshing fragrance and her eyes were a little worried.
"It's really strange. I clearly saw my hat fall here?"
Kinana muttered to herself, puzzled.
"Hey... This is your hat, right?"
Just as Kinana was confused, a voice came from the front of Kinana.
"Oh, this is indeed my hat. Thank you very much..."
Kinana turned around and saw her snow-white hat. She immediately revealed a sweet smile.
"Be careful, don't lose it next time."
Before Kinana could see who it was, the hat was forcefully pinned on her head by someone else. At the same time, a voice that Kinana was extremely familiar with rang in her ears.
"Who are you?"
When Kinana put on her hat and looked up, she found that the person in front of her had already disappeared.
"How clumsy! Cubellios..."
After returning the hat to Kinana, Erik, who had short dark red hair, came alone to the big tree in the middle of the garden. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were smiling. It seemed that when he saw Kinana and returned the hat toKinana, he had spoken a few words to Kinana. He was already very satisfied.
"Evan, my wish has been fulfilled. According to the agreement, we can leave now..."
Erik withdrew his gaze from where Kinana was and spoke to the tree in front of him.
However, Evan that Erik imagined was not present. At this moment, there was only a tall tree in front of Erik.
"Evan!"
Erik looked at the tree in front of him and was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked around, searching for Evan.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Erik searched, he could not find Evan. Furthermore, Erik's listening to magic had no effect on Evan. As a result, Erik felt a little confused after seeing Kinana. He actually did not know what he should do now.
"Um, have we met somewhere before?"
Just as Erik was at a loss, a 'soft' voice sounded behind him, causing Erik, who had been looking around, to feel weak.
"Kinana? She didn't leave but came back?"
Erik was stunned. He didn't think too much about it. The moment he heard Kinana's voice, his first reaction was to run away.
"Separate..."
Then, without waiting for Erik to open his legs, he felt his legs go soft, as if the strength in his body had disappeared.
"Evan, you plotted against me?"
Only then did Erik understand that whether it was the sudden gust of wind, the meeting between him and Kinana, or the things that happened afterwards, all of this was within Evan's calculations.
"Are you alright?"
Kinana looked at the weakened Erik and immediately moved forward. She held the other person's shoulder and asked.
"Eh, it's too close."
When Erik saw that Kinana had come to his side, his face turned red, and he was immediately rendered speechless.
"Um, although this might be the first time we met, I don't know why, but after seeing you, I feel like you are very important to me, just like someone I should know, like my family..."
Just as Erik's face was red, he heard the voice of Kinana, who was supporting him, suddenly enter his ears.
"Cubellios..."
When Erik heard Kinana's words, his expression gradually calmed down. He looked at Kinana and softly called out her name.
"This name sounds very familiar too..."
Kinana listened to Erik's words and was deep in thought.
"Do you want to hear the story between me and Cubellios?"
Erik gathered his courage and looked at Kinana.
"Yes."
Kinana looked at Erik and nodded.
For a time, under the setting sun, the shadows of the young man and the young girl stretched infinitely, just like the future of the two. The story of the two had just begun.
"Erik, well done..."
In this regard, Evan, who had been hiding in the air and watching everything, praised Erik.
That day, Erik looked at Kinana and said a lot. Kinana listened carefully until the night fell and the two made an appointment to see each other next time. Only then did they reluctantly leave.
"Well done... Erik..."
Evan looked at Erik, who had returned to the tree, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"Hmph! Mind your own business. I didn't ask you to do so much for me..."
Erik snorted after hearing Evan's words, a proud expression on his face.
"Maybe you are really not honest. If I don't help you, you will cry to death alone."
Evan smiled at Erik. He did not care about Erik's arrogance.
"Hmph..." Erik snorted and turned his head, muttering in a very small voice, "Thank you very much for today."
"Eh? What did you say just now? Did you not eat your fill? Speak louder! I can't hear you!"
Evan, of course, heard what Erik said, but he pretended not to hear it. He put his ear in the direction of Erik and kept asking.
"If you can't hear it, then forget it..."
Erik's face turned red. He ignored Evan and walked forward.
"Are you angry from embarrassment?"
"I'll send you back! If you go back to the Magic Council, you will have to walk for a few months..."
Evan looked at the angry Erik and smiled. He pulled Erik up and threw him into the sky like a cannonball.
"Sure enough, Evan, you bastard, go to hell!"
Erik felt the cold wind in the night sky and kept roaring.
In this regard, Evan just smiled at Erik and said nothing.
However, Evan thought silently in his heart, "Look, Erik is dishonest. He should be very grateful to me!"
Among the five children, other than Richard, there is another traitor among the anti-Evan squad...
The next day.
Early in the morning...
Evan was called to the Magic Council by Rob again.
"Senior Rob, why are you looking for me this time?"
Evan yawned. He had just woken up when he heard his long-range communication magic crystal ring ringing non-stop. After discovering that Rob was contacting him, he directly came to the Magic Council with elementiumization, intending to ask Rob directly.
So now he had come out of Rob's office and looked at Rob at the same time.
"Oh... Evan, you're here. Actually, I'm not looking for you. It's this girl looking for you."
Rob smiled when he saw Evan. Then, he pulled the girl, who had long, light-colored hair and a pretty face, into the room.
"So, why are you looking for me?"
Evan looked at the girl in front of him who he was extremely familiar with and asked.
After all, the girl in front of him was taken back by Evan from the hands of Brain. At present, the captain of the anti-Evan team in the Magic Council, Sorano.
At this moment, Sorano's face was slightly red. She was fidgeting and did not dare to look at Evan's eyes. It seemed that she had something on her mind and wanted to tell Evan, but she did not dare to say it.
"If you don't tell me, I will leave..."
Evan did not have time to waste on Sorano. He still planned to go home and sleep.
"Wait..."
"That, is..."
"Evan, you know a very powerful Celestial Spirit Mage, right?"
Sorano grabbed Evan's sleeve. As she looked at Evan and asked, a trace of longing flashed across her face.
"Oh..."
After listening to Sorano, Evan narrowed his eyes slightly. He guessed why Sorano was looking for him.
"I do know a powerful Celestial Spirit Mage."
"As for how powerful she is, it should be called the strongest of Ishgar. It is rare even in the world. It is no exaggeration to call her the strongest Celestial Spirit Mage."
"So why are you asking this?"
Although Evan guessed what Sorano was asking him for, he still deliberately looked at Sorano and asked.
