The person who started it all remained calm and unconcerned about the problem they had created.

"Congratulations, President Makarov, your letter of self-criticism is now complete."

"Ah ha ha……"

Hearing Fang Rui's complaints, Lucy chuckled twice.

I suddenly had a much clearer understanding of what I saw when I joined the guild...

Given Fairy Tail's usual practices, receiving so many complaint letters is perfectly normal, and writing apologies is a routine task...

"This is really reckless..." Lucy sighed, thinking to herself.

“Yeah, right~” Gray, who was down to his underwear, chimed in.

"Where are my clothes? They're gone!" Lucy exclaimed in disbelief.

Upon seeing Gray's appearance, Fang Rui initially wanted to say, "Chairman Makarov's letter of apology +1," but considering that going shirtless seemed acceptable, as long as Gray held onto his last line of defense...

Therefore, he did not utter the words that were about to come out.

Meanwhile, Erza didn't hear the three's conversation; she was busy dealing with the last of the trivial matters.

"Excuse me, could you please deliver my luggage to the 'Kiri Hotel'?" Erza said to two passersby who happened to be walking by.

His tone sounded as if he were giving instructions to a hotel staff member, rather than speaking to a stranger.

"Who...are you?" The two passersby looked puzzled, a bead of cold sweat hanging from their foreheads.

Erza didn't answer their questions, but instead looked at Lucy and the others: "We're going to chase after Natsu!!"

"Harpy has already set off..."

Fang Rui took out the magical four-wheeled vehicle and said, "Get in quickly!"

Sound travels very fast; a sharp bell rang out from the moving train, and a moment later, the train came to a sudden stop...

The sound propagating along the devices on both sides of the railway track also stopped propagating.

The sudden braking caused some chaos inside the car.

The once arrogant person fell to the ground, and the Lalabai in his backpack also fell out.

Before the two discovered "Lalabai", the hair stuck in the seat split in two, one of which transformed into "Lalabai", and the other landed on top of the real "Lalabai", then teleported away with it.

"See...see it?!" The person, who was helping himself up from the chair, looked a little flustered when he saw "Lalabai" placed on the floor.

Unexpectedly, the regular guild mage he had previously provoked didn't care about "Lalabai" at all. Instead, his right arm was burning with raging flames as he punched him.

"Shut up... You were making a lot of noise just now! This is a return gift!!"

A powerful punch landed on his face, sending the unprepared man flying. He crashed to the ground, bounced up in a bizarre, contorted motion, and continued flying towards the other end of the aisle until he smashed through two carriage doors. He then stopped in front of a third door, lying amidst a pile of rubble.

"Fly Punch." The annoyance in his heart dissipated under this punch. Natsu, who was standing to the side, exhaled and gently swung his fist.

"You...you little brat..." The person who crawled out of the pile of wood felt that half of his face had lost sensation.

"Dangdangdang..."

Before the two could even begin fighting, the car's loudspeaker suddenly announced: "It has been confirmed that the emergency stop just now was due to incorrect information. We will depart immediately. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to our passengers."

“Oh no…” Natsu’s expression froze.

"Run!" Natsu grabbed his luggage and was about to smash his head against the glass window.

"Don't even think about escaping!" Having just been punched, how could the person let Natsu off so easily? He immediately rushed to Natsu's carriage, yelling, "How dare you attack the Iron Forest!! I won't let this go!! You damned fly!!"

Seeing someone wiping blood from their nose while roaring in anger, Natsu also said threateningly, "I'll remember your face too. How dare you look down on Fairy Tail."

"Let's settle this outside next time... Ugh..."

As they were talking, the train started to move, and motion sickness struck. Natsu, who hadn't been cool for more than three seconds, broke out of the window.

The next second, Natsu lost his balance in the air and spun backward.

"Natsu!"

The rather luxurious magical four-wheeled vehicle had caught up to the end of the train. With the doors open, Erza, who was leaning out of the vehicle with most of her body out, grabbed the door frame with one hand and called out when she saw Natsu flying towards her.

"What's going on?!" Lucy screamed as she leaned out of the car window.

"give it to me!"

Gray, who was crouching on the roof, responded and then complained, "Why did I fly out of the train?!"

"Love!" Happy swooped down from above and grabbed Natsu first, but was spun around by inertia before stabilizing.

And just that one turn caused Natsu and Gray's foreheads to collide heavily.

Both of their heads were buzzing.

Gray fell directly off the roof of the car and rolled several times on the ground.

"Natsu, Gray!" Erza immediately jumped off the vehicle and chased after Gray, who had fallen to the ground.

Fang Rui slammed on the brakes, and the magical four-wheeled vehicle came to an abrupt stop. Caught off guard, Lucy was thrown forward by the inertia, her shoulder hitting the window frame.

"Ouch!" Lucy cried out.

"Are you alright?" Fang Rui asked as he got out of the driver's seat.

"It's nothing." Lucy waved her hand and got out of the car.

"Ouch—what are you doing! You bastard Natsu!" Gray yelled.

Natsu, who was staring at Gray, chose to play dumb: "I lost my memory because of the impact just now. Who are you?! You stink!"

"What?!" Gray roared even louder.

“Natsu… I’m sorry—” Happy had a bead of cold sweat on his forehead, apologizing for not catching it properly earlier.

"It's okay, Happy~" Natsu said, indicating that he didn't care.

"Damn it, don't you know me?!" Gray continued to roar.

"Ha~ What's this bastard yelling about?" Natsu's tone was sarcastic, as if he was imitating someone.

Just then, Fang Rui and the others walked over, and Natsu immediately abandoned Gray, complaining to the others, "Fang Rui! Erza! Lucy! This is so unfair, how could you abandon me like that!"

Erza: "Sorry."

Lucy: "I'm sorry."

Fang Rui: "I thought you could keep up."

"Hey...you're selectively forgetting things for your own convenience!" Gray said with a dark face.

Upon hearing this, Natsu was about to retort to Gray, but Erza suddenly reached out her hand and interrupted him.

He grabbed Natsu's neck with his five fingers and pulled him towards his chest.

clang--

"So hard!" Natsu exclaimed as he crashed into the metal armor.

"It's most important that you're alright, that's great." Erza said to herself, ignoring Natsu's expression.

Natsu grabbed Erza's hand, pried it off, and looked up, saying, "How could I be alright! I was bothered by a weirdo on the train!!"

Erza looked puzzled: "?"

"He seemed to have said something about Iron... Forest?" Natsu's tone was uncertain; he hadn't listened carefully at the time.

"You idiot!!" Erza slapped Natsu, but Fang Rui caught her.

"Huh?!" Natsu was startled.

"Huh?" Erza turned to look at Fang Rui in surprise. Although it was a casual strike, she used a lot of strength, and the fact that she was able to block it was enough to show Fang Rui's strength.

"Hurry up and catch up with them."

"you're right."

Erza said, "Get in the car!"

After saying that, Erza climbed into the driver's seat, Fang Rui sat in the passenger seat, and the rest of the people climbed into the trunk.

blah blah blah...

The tires screeched as they rubbed against the gravel, and the magical four-wheeled vehicle shot out like an arrow, chasing after the train along the tracks.

Meanwhile, in the carriage behind, Lucy was telling Natsu about the Iron Forest...

Chapter 303 The End

Kuluji Station.

As soon as a train pulled into the station, before anyone in the waiting hall could board, a group of people in strange costumes burst in.

The leader was a man with a large scythe on his shoulder, short silver-white hair, tattoos under his eyes and on his upper body, wearing a robe that resembled a skirt and brown flip-flops.

It was none other than Erigor, the guild master of the dark guild "Iron Forest".

He stood in the center of the waiting hall, head slightly raised, appearing somewhat arrogant: "Passengers and drivers, all get off—this truck belongs to Tetsu no Mori now."

The members of Tetsu no Mori laughed as they watched the passengers and station staff flee in panic.

“I heard you’ll be coming back on this train, and I’m getting impatient, Kagayama.”

Looking at the young man stepping out of the carriage, Ericoer's tone was slightly cold.

“I have broken the seal,” the black-haired youth, Kagayama, said, bowing and scraping.

"This is it." He said, handing over the flute.

“Oh…” Eligor took the flute, revealing a slightly sinister smile, “This is… this is that forbidden magic… the incantation?”

"Whoa!" A group of people cheered.

"As expected of Kaga!!"

"The plan is now perfect!!"

Two people said this, and the rest gathered around, their eyes fixed on the flute in Eric's hand.

"This flute was originally just a tool for 'cursed killing'."
