Sunlight spilled onto the shimmering sea, and a sailboat moved forward at a leisurely pace, its sails, emblazoned with the words "Flying Fairy," billowing in the sea breeze.
On the deck, large parasols blocked the glaring sunlight, and four young men and women leaned back in deck chairs, leisurely enjoying the comfort of cold drinks.
Completely relaxed, Snowflakes sprawled out like a pancake. Meanwhile, two magical cats, Happy and Cheese, huddled with fishing rods, enjoying the thrill of fishing from a moving boat.
Erza put down her cold drink and tried to dissuade her companions again, "Lucy, Gray, thank you, but the Tower of Paradise is dangerous. You shouldn't get involved."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Are you telling us to turn a blind eye to our comrades' dangerous actions?"
Gray's rebuttal was somewhat forceful. He had been present when Jellal was interrogated, and knowing Erza's painful past, how could he bear to see her return to that place of sorrow?
As the sponsor of the sailboat, Lucy naturally followed and kindly comforted Erza, "Many hands make light work. We were just worried about you being in danger."
Erza was touched by her two companions' words, but the atmosphere was ruined by the constant "click" sounds around her, which made Erza's feelings of being touched disappear instantly.
With a disgruntled look at the instigator, the red-haired girl snatched Noah's potato chips. "Noah, don't you have anything to say to me about revealing our trip to the Tower of Paradise to Lucy and Gray?"
The potato chips were gone, but the hamster biscuits were still there. Noah stroked the soft, fluffy hamster Snowy and said with a smile, "We are all Fairy Tail, so your business is everyone's business."
"Even the strong Erza has a vulnerable side sometimes, and that's okay. We'll help you."
"Look at Natsu, even in that state, he hasn't thought about quitting this operation."
Erza looked in the direction Noah was pointing and saw Natsu lying helplessly by the side of the ship, looking utterly hopeless.
As one of the powerful "lost magics," the "Dragon Slayer" magic, which possesses the attribute of "annihilation," grants mages a powerful body and astonishing attack power, but also gives them a special negative effect.
Getting motion sickness is a fate that no Dragon Slayer can escape.
"I'm...I'm going to die..."
Natsu couldn't hear a word his companions were saying. Dizziness, weakness, and nausea overwhelmed him, making him feel terrible.
I wish there was a way to get rid of seasickness.
[Ding~ You have a new local prayer request]
[Etelias Naz Dragneel desperately wants to get rid of his seasickness; please help him.]
[Reward: Fire Dragon Slayer Magic]
[Duration: 5 minutes]
Noah listened to the voice in his mind and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Only the third wish order and you've already gotten Dragon Slayer Magic as a reward, Natsu, you're truly something else!
Noah liked the Explosive Gloves very much, but ultimately they were magical artifacts with a limited power level, unlike magic which could grow stronger, especially since they were powerful offensive dragon-slaying magic.
The idea was great, but the five-minute time limit posed a challenge for Noah.
Although the ship was equipped with seasickness medication, it had no effect on Natsu, who had developed a resistance to such medications.
In order not to let the duck that was about to be eaten fly away, Nodah immediately chose to ask his companions for help. Erza and Gray have known Natsu for so long, maybe they have a way to help Natsu.
Upon hearing Noah's question, Gray said not to worry about it, as Natsu would be fully recovered once he was on the ground.
Erza, however, said she had a way to help Natsu relieve his seasickness, and before Noah could ask, the red-haired girl had already taken action.
Erza grabbed Natsu, who was in pain, and with a swift and decisive punch, knocking him unconscious, in the boy's terrified eyes.
Erza has no way to cure her motion sickness symptoms.
So she chose to target people with this symptom!
If you knock her unconscious, she won't feel uncomfortable anymore.
This scene left Noah speechless, and he thought to himself that it was too cruel.
And... even if you were going to knock Natsu out, Erza, couldn't you have just told me directly? Wouldn't it have been better if I had done it myself...?
[Ding~ Local prayer request failed]
Because it wasn't Noah himself who helped Natsu recover from seasickness, the prayer request ended in failure. This was the first time Noah's request had failed since he awakened the "Prayer" magic.
The dragon-slaying magic that was about to be obtained was gone. Looking at Erza lying back on the recliner, Noah's heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do.
"Prayer" is Noah's biggest secret. Even to Makarov, whom he trusts most, Noah has no intention of revealing his magic.
Fortunately, given Natsu's personality, his wish list will refresh soon, and obtaining the "Fire Dragon Slayer" magic is only a matter of time. There's no need to complain about missing out this time.
Moreover, there is no penalty for failing to complete the task.
Thinking of this, Noah felt much better.
He rummaged through the snack bag, pulled out a bag of discounted potato chips, and leisurely started snapping photos.
——————————————————
Headquarters of the Magic Council.
A serious meeting is underway, with all ten high-ranking members of the council present, as the person who requested to start the meeting is Makarov, the guild master of Fairy Tail and one of the Ten Sage Mages.
Having been a Wizard of Ten for many years, Makarov has almost never used the powers granted to him by the Wizard Council.
Although the members of parliament were somewhat corrupt, they were not fools to have reached such positions. Makarov's unusual request to convene a meeting of parliament made the higher-ups realize that something serious had happened.
During the meeting, Makarov spoke concisely.
"Everyone, there's still one survivor from the Black Magic Order's Tower of Paradise project from seven years ago."
"An 'R System' has been hidden and is now basically completed."
These words immediately startled Speaker Crawford and the eight members of Congress.
Especially for Zeke Rein, he never expected that Makarov would reveal the information about the last Tower of Paradise.
Is it Erza? Or do we know from the original body?
Regardless of which one, the current situation gave Zeke Rein a sense of crisis.
The only member of parliament who remained calm was named Yajima. He had understood everything the day before when he received news of the death of Makarov's friend.
Whether it's to avenge his friend or to fulfill his duty as a senator, Yajima will not let go of the final Tower of Paradise.
Speaker Crawford, who was as fat as a ball, looked at Makarov with eager eyes. "Lord Makarov, since you've come to us, have you already found out the location of the final Tower of Paradise?"
Seven years ago, the plan to thwart the Black Magic Cult's "Tower of Paradise" was the most important achievement of Speaker Crawford's career, and now that a blunder has occurred, it is only natural that it must be resolved.
Makarov shook his head. "I don't know the exact location yet, but our guild members have already gone to the Tower of Paradise. He will send me a message using a magic crystal."
"Now, let's discuss what to do with Gerald, the final person in charge of the Tower of Paradise."
