Simon, Sho, Millianna, and Wally arrived at the large dining hall.
As soon as they entered, they saw all the Fairy Tail members inside.
Everyone turned their heads at once to look at the four entering the room.
The atmosphere was momentarily silent; after all, they really weren't familiar with each other.
Erza followed closely behind the four.
Seeing everyone sitting there, including Master Makarov who had already taken his seat, she was naturally happy.
The Fairy Tail members were very considerate, willing to give her face and support the occasion.
"Come on in." Marco broke the stalemate, inviting them to sit.
With Marco's opening words, the slightly awkward atmosphere instantly became lively.
The guild members also began to warmly greet Simon, Sho, Millianna, and Wally.
"Square Face! Why do you look like this?!"
Natsu pulled Wally over and asked the question he had been holding in for a long time.
Although it was offensive, he couldn't help it.
If he could hold it in, he wouldn't be Natsu.
But his intention wasn't mean to offend; he was purely curious, and if he didn't say it, he felt like he would suffocate.
Even though he was motion sick and dizzy, he perked up upon seeing Wally, determined to figure out what he was curious about.
There was no helping it; Wally looked truly too unique. His whole person was square, like a moving block toy.
"Don't you think it's handsome? Square is the most handsome!"
Wally stood there, striking a stylish pose, seemingly imitating a movie star.
He genuinely seemed to think he was handsome and stylish, and this appearance was something he had intentionally make.
"It's body splitting magic. He can split his body into blocks, similar to toy blocks, and can even make the body fragments travel through space to attack."
Simon explained from the side.
Wally also demonstrated it directly, his body splitting into various fragments.
His hands and feet appeared in different places almost instantly via teleportation, causing Natsu, Gray, and the others watching to shout "Cool!"
After his curiosity was satisfied, Natsu instantly wilted again, rolling to the side and lying there, looking half-dead.
Natsu and Gajeel weren't going to be eating at this farewell banquet anyway.
"Kitty! Kitty! Blue kitty!" Millianna didn't join in their fooling around.
She hugged Happy and rubbed against him incessantly, confusing Happy completely.
This "cat-girl" was a true cat slave; she couldn't walk straight when she saw a cat, acting as if her brain wasn't quite working right.
"This magic isn't actually difficult; you should be able to master it quickly."
Sho, who used "Card Magic," was pulled over to Cana by Marco.
The purpose was, of course, to have him teach his specialty magic to Cana.
Sho readily agreed to this, holding nothing back, and taught the magic that could seal people into cards to Cana.
The members of Fairy Tail accepted them.
Although they didn't plan to stay, that didn't stop everyone from becoming friends.
Didn't Erza say it? Even if they left the guild, they were forever companions, and everyone's friendship wouldn't change.
"Thank you, Mira." On the other side, Erza found Mirajane and thanked her solemnly.
"Hmph~ It's all for Marco's sake."
Mira glanced at Erza, who had a grateful expression on her face.
In her heart, she found this sentimental Erza quite novel, but she didn't forget to tease her.
Such an Erza actually made people want to tease her even more; it was a different kind of fun.
Although Mira's personality had become much more peaceful now, her inner mischievous streak remained.
From time to time, the devil horns on her head would show, and she would play tricks on others with an innocent expression.
"But still, thank you. You've worked hard." Erza didn't mind Mira's "tsundere" words and continued to thank her sincerely.
This left Mira unsure of what to say for a moment.
"Do we really have to let them leave? Isn't it better for them to stay in the guild?"
Makarov, who was quietly sipping his drink beside the two women, suddenly asked.
He had tacitly approved the farewell party held by Erza and Marco, but doubts remained in his heart.
For those four, joining Fairy Tail was undoubtedly a shortcut to integrating into society.
Why did they need to go explore the unknown world on their own?
"They are free; I respect their choice." Erza had already made peace with it.
She chose to respect her companions' decision, especially since even Marco thought this was better.
"True, we shouldn't force it." Makarov took a sip of wine and said no more.
"Come, everyone, let's have a toast to send off our four companions!"
Makarov suddenly jumped onto the table and shouted loudly.
He raised his glass high, calling on everyone to join in.
"Cheers!"
Everyone responded one after another, raising their glasses.
Simon, Sho, Millianna, and Wally also flusteredly raised their glasses, and everyone drank heartily together.
"May your future path be smooth and unobstructed!"
Makarov earnestly offered his blessings to these four companions who hadn't even truly joined Fairy Tail.
The other members also chimed in with their well-wishes.
"Thank you, Master Makarov! Thank you, everyone!"
Simon, Sho, Millianna, and Wally were all very moved, thanking everyone repeatedly.
The atmosphere of "Fairy Tail" was indeed touching. Honestly, if this continued, they really wouldn't want to leave.
This guild... was truly different.
Everyone enjoyed this farewell banquet immensely, except for the drooping Natsu and Gajeel, who were suffering terribly.
It wasn't until the passenger ship docked at Hargeon that Natsu and Gajeel finally came back to life.
Seeing land, the two almost burst into tears, but the thought of having to take a vehicle back to Fairy Tail later made them wilt again.
"Well then, we part ways here."
After everyone went ashore, Simon, Sho, Millianna, and Wally said their goodbyes.
They had already told Marco all the intelligence they had, so there was no need to stay any longer.
