Drake felt that he couldn't stay in Orario any longer.
Wiene's reincarnation was quite successful. She had even successfully obtained a god's grace.
Fels had also disappeared after learning the news, presumably busy with researching how to optimize the regeneration ritual and discussing the matter of regeneration with the Xenos.
But Drake hadn't expected that Fels would act so quickly, a group of people coming to his door just a few days after Drake had gotten some peace and quiet.
Those were all Xenos who had completed the regeneration ritual, the newborn druids.
According to Fels, he hoped that these people could join various Familias and become adventurers.
And on the surface, the only adventurers that the Xenos could trust were Drake, who had protected their compatriot Wiene and was one of the creators of the regeneration ritual.
Fels could have clearly gone through Ouranos and the Guild to recommend them to join Ganesha or other suitable Familias.
But the druids themselves had strongly requested it, and Fels had been helpless.
Drake didn't have the ability to do this, so he could only seek help from his own deity.
Hephaestus was also at her wit's end.
Logically speaking, the druids all possessed considerable racial advantages, being talents who had at least mastered one monster transformation skill.
They would be quite popular in any Familia.
But the Hephaestus Familia itself was a production Familia. It would be a waste to take in so many combat talents.
So Hephaestus could only send a wave of benefits to her good friends.
Hestia, Takemikazuchi, Miach, and Loki had a small meeting with Hephaestus, then dividing up these druids.
Of course, it was all based on the druids' own choices.
Takemikazuchi and Miach were fine, not having such a strong desire to win. But Hestia and Loki, these old rivals, had fought tooth and nail.
That guy Finn was truly a qualified captain, keenly sensing the druids' potential, using all kinds of methods to recruit them.
But what was surprising was that more than half of this group of about fifty druids had chosen the Hestia Familia. In the end, only a single-digit number had chosen the Loki Familia.
This time, Hestia had won over Loki in something other than her figure.
The druids who had been reincarnated from monsters had purer hearts than humans, so they wouldn't consider benefits and prospects like human adventurers.
Compared to Finn, who was full of calculations, they still preferred Bell's sincerity. Finn had understood this later, only able to sigh that he had oversmarted himself.
What was interesting was that there was a girl who had been regenerated from a unicorn rabbit, looking almost 90% similar to Bell.
The remaining 10% was the difference in body shape due to gender.
Drake had jokingly called her Bell's long-lost sister, then she had been treated as a mascot by the Hestia Familia.
What was regrettable was that Asterius, Bell's fated opponent, wasn't among the druids who had been regenerated this time. Drake had still wanted to see the scene of the two meeting.
You had to know that the druids' strength before regeneration was all around LV3, with a very few excellent ones even reaching LV5.
The fact that the major Familias had suddenly gained so many excellent members had immediately attracted the attention of the other Familias.
Then the entire Orario knew about the existence of the druids, then who knew how, Drake's relationship with the druids had been exposed.
So Drake would encounter people inquiring about information as soon as he went out, with gods even personally taking action several times.
After all, the Hestia Familia had ballooned from a small-to-medium-sized Familia to a large Familia with more than twenty high-level adventurers overnight. Who wouldn't be envious.
This was the reason why Drake had said that he couldn't stay in Orario any longer. So Drake had decided to take Stella and Wiene back to the world of Fairy Tail.
Acting as soon as he said it, Drake had said goodbye to the people he knew, then directly leaving this world with Stella and Wiene.
Looking at Magnolia, whose style was different from Orario's, Stella said excitedly, "Is this Drake's hometown?"
Drake shook his head, saying, "This can't be considered my hometown, but my home is indeed here."
Saying this, Drake took Stella and Wiene to the entrance of Fairy Tail.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail!"
The door opened, the two girls immediately seeing the lively scene inside.
And the people inside had also become excited after seeing Drake.
"Drake's back!"
"This trip took quite a long time!"
"Everyone, Drake has brought back beautiful girls!"
It wasn't just Wiene, who was seeing this kind of scene for the first time.
Even Stella, who had always been outgoing, had been frightened by everyone's enthusiasm.
But for some reason, neither of them had a feeling of disgust towards this enthusiasm, instead having an urge to blend in.
This was the charm of Fairy Tail. If Natsu and the others were also here, this charm would be doubled.
After Drake had introduced Stella and the others to everyone, they quickly became one with everyone.
Drake was sitting by the bar. Stella, who was talking to Levy and other female mages on the side, was seeing him reveal such a relaxed look for the first time.
No wonder Drake had said that this was home. Only at home could people put down all their defenses.
It was a pity that Mirajane wasn't here. It somehow felt like the bar was missing its soul.
The one temporarily acting as the poster girl in place of Mirajane was Kinana, a new member of the guild.
She had previously lived as a snake for ten years after being cursed. Makarov had lifted the curse for her, only then restoring her human form.
That's right, she was the big snake that had always been following Cobra, the poison Dragon Slayer from the Oración Seis.
It was just that she had lost all her memories from when she was a snake, and was now just a new poster girl for Fairy Tail.
Kinana pushed a drink from the table to Drake, saying, "Welcome back, Acting Guild Master."
Drake waved his hand, saying, "Didn't I tell you not to call me that? I don't want to be the guild master. It sounds troublesome."
Kinana said with a smile, "But everyone has already recognized you. If it hadn't been for Mr. Drake, it's hard to imagine what the guild would have become now. Everyone agrees that you should be the guild master."
Drake sighed, changing the subject, saying, "Right, where are Kagura and the others? Did they go to work?"
Kinana said, "You still don't understand Miss Kagura? She's gone to train again. Sting and Rogue did go to work, but when we contacted them before, they had already completed the request. They should be able to come back soon."
Drake nodded. Back then, in order to make up for the guild's weakness after the Tenrou Team had left, he had used his intelligence advantage to pull four mages who would be very excellent in the future into the guild.
Among them, Sherria was too young, so Drake had told her to focus on learning Sky God Slayer magic first.
And the other three, although they hadn't reached their peak yet, could already become pillars of the guild.
Kinana suddenly thought of something, taking an envelope from the counter, saying, "You came back just in time. Otherwise, we really wouldn't know what to do with this thing!"
Drake saw the Fiore Kingdom mark on the envelope, wondering what it was when the guild door was rudely opened with a bang, two blockheads barging in.
"I heard that Drake's back. Where is he?"
Although they were both his little brothers, Sting was a fanboy of Natsu. This rash appearance was exactly the same as Natsu's.
Stella had thought that someone had come to cause trouble, about to do something when she was pulled back by Levy.
Levy said with a smile, "You'll get used to it. This is the style of our Fairy Tail."
Saying this, she revealed a reminiscent expression, seeming to have thought of the scene when Natsu and the others were still around.
While Stella was confused, Sting and Rogue saw Drake, who was sitting by the bar, so the two directly charged over.
"Drake, we've grown a lot during this time. Come accept our challenge!"
Saying this, Sting and Rogue were wrapped in black and white magic power respectively, pouncing towards Drake.
Drake sighed, finally understanding Gildarts's feelings, but not even meaning to stand up, only learning from Gildarts, chopping Sting on the head with a hand chop, then raising his arm, throwing Rogue onto the ceiling.
Sting, who had been knocked to the ground, raised his head, not being discouraged because he had lost, instead revealing a smile, saying, "As expected of Drake, you're too strong!"
All the old members of Fairy Tail revealed smiles. How familiar this scene was. They were really looking forward to seeing Natsu and the others' expressions when they saw this scene.
Just then, two bipedal cats walked over.
The dark red-haired cat wearing a vest said, "I told you, Sting, you still can't beat Drake right now. I really can't do anything with you."
The cat wearing a frog suit also nodded, saying, "Frosch also thinks so!"
Sting climbed up, saying, "Lector, what are you saying! I'll definitely be able to beat Drake next time."
The cat called Lector spread its hands, shrugging helplessly, seeming to not believe Sting's words at all.
Rogue, who had fallen from the ceiling, also walked over, seeing the envelope on the table at a glance.
"So Drake, did you come back for this?"
Drake was confused. He didn't even know what that was. How could he have come back specifically for this thing.
Sting also saw the envelope, saying excitedly, "So the guild has decided to participate in that Grand Magic Games?"
Drake's expression changed as he looked at the envelope. So this thing was an invitation to the Grand Magic Games held by the Fiore Kingdom.
