Fairy Tail: This Healing Mage's hits hurt so much!

Sunrise summoned the council's troops, including our old acquaintance, Lahar.

Lahar arrived in a hurry with a group of men. When he saw Riyao and the others standing on the shore, he paused slightly, and his temples throbbed twice.

Riyao greeted him with a smile and patted Lahar on the shoulder.

"Hey, Lahar, it's you again. What a coincidence!"

Laharl gets a headache just looking at Fairy Tail members and really wants to turn around and leave.

The scene of Sunbeam clinging to his leg and crying in Magnolia was still vivid in his mind, and now that it had happened again, his head ached even more.

"Lord Riyao, what's going on this time?"

After some thought, Riyao summarized the whole matter in the simplest way possible.

"It's just that Gerald had designs on our guild's Fairy Queen, and we went to rescue her, it's that simple."

Lahar rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. The Council headquarters had just had an incident, and here they had already caught the culprit.

Gerald, one of the Ten Saints, and councilor Zekrein, is actually the mastermind behind the construction of the Tower of Paradise.

If this gets out, the entire magical world will be shaken.

"Understood. Leave Gerald to us. Please ask Chairman Makarov to come over once the turmoil in the Council has subsided."

Riyao nodded: "No problem."

The council members came and went in a hurry, taking away Jellal, who was sealed in the magic crystal, and also taking away this nightmare that had lasted for eight years.

……

After a day of rest and recuperation, Riyao's condition improved considerably.

However, the Azure Dragon form was extremely taxing, and since it was the first time using it, his body hadn't fully adapted yet. Now, his whole body ached, as if he had been hammered all over.

He lay on the bed at Sunrise Manor, completely wrapped in bandages by Mirajane, looking like a mummy, with only his face and two hands showing.

Mirajane happily tied a bow on Sunshine's bandage, placing it on his forehead, which looked absolutely comical.

Then she took out Riyao's camera and snapped several photos of him.

Mirajah held up his camera, grinning like a kitten that had just stolen a fish.

"Haha, this is the first time my darling has needed to recover from an injury, so I must record this carefully."

Riyao lay helplessly on the bed, unable to move, and could only accuse Mirajane of his evil deeds with his eyes.

"Mira, at least take off the bow on your forehead."

"No, it looks great." Mirajane took another picture.

Lucy pushed open the door and saw Sunlight tied up like a mummy. She burst out laughing, and then a brilliant idea struck her.

"Let's take a group photo!"

Happy flew in through the window, fluttering his little wings: "Aye!"

Everyone crowded around, and Riyao's bedside was instantly packed with people.

Mirajane sat on the edge of the bed, pressed her face against Riyao's, and gave him a sweet smile.

Lucy stood at the foot of the bed and made a peace sign.

Happy lay on Sunshine's head, his little paws clutching the pink bow.

Natsu and Gray were locked in a face-to-face confrontation, neither willing to give in, as they fought for a spot.

"I was here first! Move over!" Natsu grinned.

"I was standing here first! You only moved now!" Gray retorted, not to be outdone.

Erza walked over, grabbed their shoulders with both hands, gently pulled them apart, and then stood in the middle herself.

Natsu and Gray were pinched until they grimaced, but dared not resist.

Juvia stood behind Gray and saw Natsu and Gray being so close. Her eyes were like knives, as if she wanted to glare two holes through Natsu.

Xiu sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, hugging his knees with both hands, his expression awkward but the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

Woolley pulled his hat down, revealing his square profile, and tried to strike a cool pose.

Miriamina grabbed Harpy and rubbed against him frantically, muttering, "So soft, so soft, meow."

Simon stood at the very edge, his gaze towards Erza filled with affection, as tender as if he were looking at the whole world.

Click.

The shutter clicked, and that moment was forever captured in the photograph.

A group of oddly shaped people surrounded a man named Riyao who was tied up like a mummy and had a bow on his head, laughing like a bunch of fools.

That evening, Simon and the others quietly packed their things, preparing to leave without saying goodbye.

The four of them came to the shore, carried their luggage onto the small boat, and moved very quietly, afraid of being discovered.

Xiu urged, "Hurry up, it'll be hard to leave if my sister finds out."

Miliana hugged her cat-ear headband, her eyes red-rimmed: "Meow, I still can't bear to part with Elru-chan."

Woolley adjusted his hat, his tone deliberately light: "As a gentleman, I can't stay by her side and cause her trouble. Our current situation is too awkward."

Simon glanced one last time in the direction of the hotel and said softly, "We'll have a chance to meet again someday."

Just as they were about to board the ship, a voice came from behind them.

"You lot!"

The group was startled and all turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

Erza emerged from the shadows on the shore, bathed in moonlight, her expression serious but not angry.

Xiu lowered his head, his voice low and bitter.

"We've been living in the tower for a long time, and we want to see the outside world with our own eyes. As Riyao said, we are also beneficiaries, and we also want to help those who suffered in the past."

Erza looked at them, her gaze softening, and nodded with satisfaction.

"As long as you have this strong will, you can do anything, and I'm relieved."

She took a deep breath, and with a flash of light, she donned silver-white armor—the armor of farewell.

The moonlight shone on her armor, giving it a soft silver glow. She stood on the shore, her posture upright, her voice solemn.

"However, those who want to leave Fairy Tail must abide by three things. Listen carefully."

"First, none of you four are allowed to spread any information that is detrimental to Fairy Tail for the rest of your lives."

"Second, you are not allowed to contact past clients casually or pursue your own personal interests."

Erza's voice trembled slightly, but remained firm and strong.

Third, even if you take different paths, you must live on with strength! Never underestimate your own life!

Her voice echoed in the night wind, carrying an irresistible power and a deep blessing.

"And I will never forget my beloved friend!!!"

"Fairy Tail Farewell Party, Begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Natsu spat out a fireball from his mouth, which exploded in the air, and orange-red fireworks bloomed in the night sky like a blooming fire lotus.

Gray stood in the courtyard, his hands gathering ice, which he launched into the air. The ice-blue fireworks exploded in the night sky, mingling with the crimson fireworks.

Lucy stood in the corridor, simply gathering golden celestial magic, which exploded in the air like golden fireworks, warm and bright.

Mirajah waved his hands, and a continuous stream of purple fireworks exploded in the air, one after another, like a sea of ​​purple flowers.

Sunlight lay at Mirajane's feet, blinked, and looked at Happy, his eyes asking: Why don't you perform?

Happy tilted his head and scratched his face with his little paws.

"I won't set off fireworks."

Riyao rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Crimson, ice blue, gold, and purple fireworks intertwined and bloomed in the night sky, illuminating the entire coastline and the four tearful faces on the small boat.

The small boat slowly sailed away from the shore. Simon and the others on the boat cried uncontrollably, snot bubbles coming out of their noses, completely disregarding their appearance.

Xiu wiped away her tears, muttering something, but the sound was carried away by the sea breeze.

Woolley's square face was streaked with tears, and his hat was askew.

Miriamina hugged her knees and cried like a child.

Simon stood at the stern, watching the fireworks on the shore and Erza's figure, his lips trembling, unable to say goodbye.

On the shore, Erza stood in the moonlight, watching the small boat grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared into the night.

She wiped the tears from her face.

"Bon Voyage."

Fireworks continued to bloom in the sky, illuminating everyone's faces and the unbreakable bond in their hearts.
