This completely touched her heart, and at that moment, she was truly accepted by everyone.
She was completely redeemed.
She hugged Meredy tightly, crying uncontrollably.
The members of Fairy Tail surrounded the two, not saying a word, but their gentle smiles seemed to offer their sincerest respect to the two girls who had completely let go of their hatred, and to bless their bright future.
Seeing the two embracing and crying, Makarov, understanding everything, accepted them both.
In his words.
People inevitably make mistakes, but it's rare and valuable to recognize one's mistakes and have the desire to atone for them.
Fairy Tail would never reject someone who wholeheartedly yearned for the light.
As the master of Fairy Tail, Makarov formally extended an invitation to both of them.
This time, Ultear didn't refuse. Amidst the joyful gazes of everyone, she joined Fairy Tail.
Gray, however, felt his position in the guild drop another level.
After all, Ultear was technically Gray's senior…
Conversely, as a senior, Ultear was very dismissive of Gray.
"As the disciple of my mother, you still haven't become an S-class mage?"
Ultear's words pierced Gray's heart like a needle.
Gray slunk away, not daring to retort.
Meredy joined Fairy Tail because Ultear had joined, and her relationship with Juvia was surprisingly good, which was unexpected.
But Juvia wasn't surprised.
After all, thanks to Sense Link, they truly understood each other's hearts.
Afterward, the two of them decided to leave Tenrou Island first.
They planned to return to the far north and the town where Meredy had lived, to settle things with their past.
Then they would go to Fairy Tail and join everyone.
Finn smiled and said, "That's good. We'll hold a proper Fairy Tail welcome party for you then!"
And so, Ultear and Meredy boarded a ship and set sail for the far north.
Finn and the others, having many injured members, decided to rest for a day and return the next day.

On the edge of Tenrou Island, Zeref was walking alone, intending to leave, when he suddenly stopped.
His eyes turned to the blue sky.
"Acnologia…" His low voice sounded like death from the depths of hell.
His gaze shifted to the Grimoire Heart airship flying away in the distance.
"Did your evil thoughts summon him…?"
He shook his head and walked towards the airship.
"I don't want to do anything in this era," he continued, as if talking to himself, or to someone else.
"I won't befriend anyone, nor will I become anyone's enemy."
"If this era comes to an end, then perhaps I will awaken again!"
Zeref's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.
"I hope you can destroy me before that, Natsu… and the man named Finn…"
The last words were spoken softly, as if only he could hear them.
After Zeref left, a man, Mest, no, Doranbolt, slumped to the ground behind a large tree.
After Doranbolt's attempts to persuade Natsu and the others failed, he had intended to leave the island, but he had encountered Zeref.
He had decided to follow Zeref, and had heard every word he said.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and he felt as if he couldn't move.
Fear gripped his heart.
"He… he just said… Acnologia?!"

At Fairy Tail's temporary camp, Finn had his arm around Laxus' shoulder, a teasing smile on his face.
"Laxus, I heard that Evergreen and Elfman are getting married!"
Hearing Finn's words, Laxus was shocked.
"No wonder I noticed something was off between them when I went to rescue them!"
Laxus stroked his chin. "So that's what was going on."
Hearing Finn and Laxus's whispered conversation, Elfman broke out in a cold sweat.
He rushed over, looking flustered.
Seeing Elfman, Laxus narrowed his eyes. "I said, when did you start this?"
"I didn't even notice it?"
Hearing Laxus say that, Elfman panicked even more.
"Wait… actually, it's a long story…"
Before Elfman could finish, Laxus patted him on the shoulder, a knowing look on his face.
He kept nodding.
Elfman was even more terrified.
"What do you mean by nodding?!"
"Hahaha!" Seeing this, Finn burst into laughter.
"Yo, Finn, let's go fishing!" Just then, Gildarts, Natsu, and Happy walked over, waving their fishing rods.
"Aye, Finn, let's go fishing with us!" Happy followed behind Gildarts, his eyes shining.
Fishing was something that excited Happy.
After all, fish were an irresistible treat for Happy.
"Fishing, huh… let's go. It's been a while since I've had a chance to relax," Finn said, standing up and looking at Nancy, who was sitting in a chair, drinking tea.
"Nancy, let's go with us. They say there are extremely delicious fish on Tenrou Island!"
At a secluded hot spring, Cana was sitting with her head lowered, looking at the fallen leaves floating on the water, lost in thought.
Lucy sighed and took Cana's hand, leading her ashore.
"Let's go talk to Gildarts about it!" she said, looking into Cana's eyes, her voice determined.
————
"Oh, Finn, something's biting!" At a small river, Nancy excitedly grabbed Finn's sleeve, pointing a small paw at the large ripples in the water.
"Ah, just a moment!" Finn said, pulling back on the fishing rod with all his strength.
Soon, a fish, one that Finn didn't recognize, appeared in the bucket next to Finn.
He didn't recognize it, but as long as it was edible, it was fine.
"Yo, you're doing great!" Gildarts said with a smile.
Happy looked in disbelief at the bucket next to Finn, filled with fish.
Then he looked back at the empty bucket next to Natsu, and felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Natsu…" Happy wanted to encourage Natsu to fish harder.
But then he widened his eyes.
"He's asleep?!" Happy exclaimed in shock.
Happy's cry woke Natsu, who stretched lazily.
"That was boring…" he complained.
"You don't understand anything. Fishing is a man's romance," Gildarts said slowly.
"Heh, it's still too difficult to get Natsu to calm down," Finn said with a smile.
