Chapter 62
Once, during one of our training sessions, Elsa and I were puzzled by one question: how to bypass the limitation on magic in Edolas without taking questionable drugs from Mystogan. On the one hand, it would be possible to rely on chance and stupidly pump up control over magic, but what if it turns out that in Edolas the world itself limits mages or, although this is questionable, magic really does fade?
The result was a rather simple solution. Lacrima. These magical energy accumulators are surprisingly useful, although the truly capacious small-sized lacrima were expensive, but for us their price was not really felt. Therefore, we have had a decent supply for a rainy day for quite some time now.
And now, despite the feeling of a huge abundance of mana in the air, I had to experience the not very pleasant sensations of the fact that the magic literally refused to leave the body and only the lacrima clutched in my hand gave me confidence in the possibility of returning at any moment to my already long-time native Earth Land.
- So this is what the local Fairy Tail is like, - Makarov said, looking around the guild building with curiosity.
- I'll be the first! - I exclaimed joyfully, running towards the building.
- Wait a minute, - Charlie grabbed me by the shoulder.
- What's happened?
- Have you even thought about what their reaction to Elsa will be?
- Well, they'll get a little scared, but it's not scary. - I shrugged.
"Why should they be afraid of me?" Elsa asked suspiciously.
- Didn't I tell you? The local Elsa is not a member of Fairy Tail, but on the contrary, is known as a fairy killer.
- And why am I only finding out about this now? Haah, oh well, I'll just go in last then. Let's hurry, because I can already feel the space magic starting to accumulate in the building. - Elsa said with a heavy sigh, and I ran and opened the guild door.
- Greetings to everyone from Fairy Tail of Earth Land! - I joyfully proclaimed in front of the battle-ready mages.
- ... Psst, bro, is this really another Wendy? - a whisper from one of the mages was heard in the deafening silence.
- There's another one! Only younger! - the other magician exclaimed in surprise. - And with her...
- This bitch brought Knightwalker to us! - suddenly, blonde Lucy in leather clothes jumped out of the wary crowd and struck me with a magic whip.
"Actually, it's not Knightwalker, it's Belserion," I corrected, catching the whip in my hand.
"Do you think this changes anything?!" Lucy growled, trying to pull the whip out of my grip.
- Isn't she? She's also from Fairy Tail, - I asked, slightly tilting my head.
- Lucy has always had problems with her head, so it will be difficult for her to understand something like this. But still, for what purpose did you come? - asked the local Levi, coming out of the crowd, while she held a long gun on her shoulder, which she had recently aimed at me, and after her came Jet and Droy, who seemed more confident and stronger.
"What are you saying…" Lucy wanted to snap back, but at that very moment I deigned to let go of her whip, causing her to fall to the floor.
- We came with... War! - I said pompously, making the local magicians wary again, though I was immediately slapped on the back of the head by Elsa.
"Stop messing around," Elsa hissed in my ear, and then decided to take charge of the negotiations.
- Recently, your king tried to destroy our hometown, so we came to prevent him from repeating such an attempt, and at the same time, if you want, you can go to our world, there you can safely use magic without fear that someone will persecute you for it.
- It's brutal, the face seems the same, but the character is really different, and he even wears the guild mark.
- Yes, it is really creepy, - Alzack agreed with Bisca.
-…- taking a deep breath and exhaling, Elsa continued. - Try to decide whether you will come with us or not before we deal with the king.
- Wait, so you really decided to attack the capital? What a stupid joke! They'll just kill you there! - Lucy suddenly jumped up.
- Believe me, everything will definitely be fine with us. - I grinned. - Can you tell me in which direction to look for the capital?
- I'll give you a map.
- Levi! Do you really want to let them go to their certain death? - EdoLucy was indignant.
- I agree, even though we are a dark guild, we still can't let them die so easily. - the local Juvia supported.
"Normally it would be like that, but they are different," Levi stated confidently.
"I must admit, you are clearly no more stupid than our Levi, although you are clearly ruder," I grinned.
Only after 2 hours, we left the local guild. Although Levi's words had great weight, I still had to show a little of my power to ease the fairies' anxiety and after that we quickly got involved in communicating with them. To be honest, the atmosphere here is only slightly different from our guild, unfortunately, in a darker direction due to the death of many members. Elsa was asked how she ended up in Fairy Tail, both Charles were asked where they got their cat ears and tail from. In general, they bombarded us with questions while sharing their own stories. By the way, the local Wendy, as it turned out, used to study with Porlyusica, who once simply disappeared, but in fact simply went to our world.
- Well, is it time to meet your mother? - I turned to the cat-girls with a smile, looking at the island hovering near the capital.
