Chapter 451: Alfonzo and Juvia

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Margaret. 

 

January, x786. 

 

A few days have passed since Alfonzo and Jura had their spar. And in those few days, Alfonzo started on his job to install the new training chambers for Lamia Scale. Before he started, however, he and Jura made their way down below the guild hall. Then, under Alfonzo's instructions, Jura expanded the space while erecting pillars to help support the guild hall, as well. 

 

On top of that, on the evening of the fourth night, Alfonzo began instructing Juvia on how to make her [Water Body] out of pure water. Though, he did not have many ideas how to do so. But he did have a guess. 

 

Suggesting to Juvia that the reason her body was not pure water had something to do with her clothing, Alfonzo told Juvia to undress and try activating her [Water Body]. 

 

Naturally, because she had a bad impression of Alfonzo, Juvia thought he was trying to get her naked before having his way with her. As a result, she attacked him with her [Water Cane] spell. Unfortunately for her, Alfonzo only had to cover his body in arcs of electricity to put an end to that, leaving Juvia unconscious in the aftermath. 

 

Then, after Juvia woke up a few hours later, Alfonzo tried explain to her what he meant when he made his suggestion. 

 

"Seriously, Juvia." Alfonzo said in an exasperated tone while sitting in a chair next to Juvia's bed in her hotel room. "You're a perfect example of a Fairy Tail wizard. You immediately attack first, ask questions later. Then again… Something tells me you wouldn't have even asked questions after your attack, had it succeeded, I mean." 

 

"What did you do to Juvia?" Juvia questioned sharply as she struggled against the anti-magic restraints fastening her to the bed. "Juvia will never forgive you for defiling her." 

 

"You really need to get the fuck over yourself, Sweetheart." Alfonzo said with his eyes narrowed. "Yeah, you're pretty good looking, but if you think all men are so taken by your looks, then you're even more delusional than I ever thought possible." 

 

Instead of responding, Juvia glared at Alfonzo as hard as she could. On top of that, her pride was hurt when Alfonzo dismissed her beauty the way he did. 

 

"Now, like I was trying to say before you flew off the handle…" Alfonzo said as his expression reverted back to normal. "You should try activating your [Water Body] without your clothes---" 

"You're still trying to get Juvia naked for your perverted---" Juvia started to shout. 

 

"Seriously, Shut the fuck up!" Alfonzo roared, drowning out Juvia's shouting, and startling her in the process. "I'm not fucking interested in you! So, chill the fuck out and miss me with that shit!" 

 

Taken completely aback, Juvia could only stare at Alfonzo with her eyes and mouth opened wide. 

 

"When I said without clothes on, I meant for you to do it in a bathroom or something." Alfonzo said while trying to calm himself. "Somewhere you could be alone, God fucking damn it." 

 

This being the first time Juvia had ever seen Alfonzo so angry, Juvia was at a complete and utter loss. He had never even gotten so angry after all the time she told him to leave Ultear. Yet, because he was so massively misunderstood, he shouted and swore at her. 

 

"*Sigh* Sorry about that…" Alfonzo said after taking another deep breath to calm himself down. "But suggesting that I'm some kind of creep like that really got to me… Much more than it probably should have. But look, even though we don't get along, I still look at you like family. Just like every other member of the guild. So, to have someone I see as family doubting my character like that really bothers me." 

 

Lowering her head, Juvia broke eye contact with Alfonzo after he explained why he got so angry. On top of that, she could sort of relate to what he said. Like the way things were in the past, Juvia had been misunderstood because of the rain that followed her everywhere she went. As a result, everyone she knew treated her badly, despite the fact that she had not done anything to them. 

 

And just like the people from her past, Juvia had also been treating Alfonzo badly, despite the fact that he had not done anything to her other than being close to Ultear. In fact, he had not even dissuaded her from trying to gain Ultear's affection. As long as she did it in an upright manner. Because like he said nearly a year and a half ago, Ultear could make her own decisions about who she wanted to be with. 

 

"*Sigh* Juvia is sorry." Juvia said with her head still lowered. "Juvia knows you're not that kind of person. But Juvia is jealous that Ultear loves you so much. And Juvia let her jealousy get the better of her." 

 

*Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!* 

 

"Hey, is everything okay in there?" Ultear asked from the outside of Juvia's room. "You two aren't gonna start fighting, are you?" 

 

Taking a look at Juvia, who tensed after hearing Ultear's voice, Alfonzo shook his head before responding. 

 

"No, everything is fine." Alfonzo replied. "We just had a conversation that should have happened a long time ago." 

 

"Oh, okay." Ultear replied through the door in a relieved tone. 

 

"In fact, you should have a serious talk with Juvia, too." Alfonzo continued. "We need to just get everything in the air so that we can put this whole thing behind us." 

 

Knowing exactly what Alfonzo was talking about, Ultear had yet to have a serious conversation about Juvia's stalker behavior, hoping that just ignoring her would cause her to give up. However, she knew that Alfonzo was right. If she had sat Juvia down and talked to her, things might not have gotten so bad. 

 

"Don't worry, I will." Ultear replied. "But that will have to wait until tomorrow, after my spar with Jura. I wanna get to bed early so that I can be at my best. I'm not strong enough to just overpower him like you, Alfonzo." 

 

"I understand." Alfonzo replied with a nod. Then, he looked over to Juvia. "Are you okay with that, Juvia?" 

 

"Yes." Juvia replied quietly, knowing she would not like the way that conversation would go. 

 

"Well, there you have it." Alfonzo said with another nod. "I'll be back in the room a little later, Tear. I still need to finish telling Juvia about my theory." 

 

"Okay." Ultear replied. "Then, if I'm asleep when you get back, good night. Good night to you, too, Juvia." 

 

"Good night." Alfonzo replied with a smile. 

 

"Good night…" Juvia replied, sounding slightly apprehensive. 

 

Then, the sound of Ultear's footsteps retreating from the front of the room could be heard before the sound of a door closing followed shortly afterwards. A moment later, Alfonzo turned his attention back to Juvia. 

 

"So, are you ready to hear my theory about making your [Water Body] pure, without blasting me for suggesting to take your clothes off, I mean?" Alfonzo asked while smiling cheekily. 

 

Despite herself, Juvia also smiled. Though, her smile was quite wry. Then, she nodded her head meekly, signaling Alfonzo to continue. 

 

"Alright." Alfonzo said. "Like I was saying, I think your clothes, which are integrated into your [Water Body] when you activate it, are what add the impurities." 

 

"That's why you said Juvia should activate her [Water Body] without clothes on?" Juvia asked, finally understanding why Alfonzo made that suggestion. 

 

"That's right." Alfonzo replied with a nod. "Then, if you could give me a sample to analyze, I could tell you if it's pure, or not." 

 

"Then, why didn't you say that from the beginning?" Juvia asked with a skeptical expression on her face. 

 

"You never gave me a chance to get that far." Alfonzo replied with a wry smile. 

 

In response, Juvia could only look away with a blush on her cheeks. 

 

"Anyway, if my theory is correct, then you should see if Lici knows about material that would keep your body pure when you activate your [Water Body]." Alfonzo said. "And if she can, you should commission her to use those materials for all your battle attire from now on. In fact, it would probably be a good idea to get all your clothes made out of those materials. You never know when shit could pop off, after all." 

 

After nodding in understanding, Juvia lowered her head once again. 

 

"Thank you, Alfonzo." Juvia said quietly. "And Juvia is sorry." 

 

"*Sigh* I'm sorry, too." Alfonzo replied. "If we had talked about this earlier, a lot of hostility could have been avoided." 

 

With that, Alfonzo stood from his seat while dispelling the restraints around Juvia's limbs. Then, he turned towards the door. 

 

"Oh, and just a tip for you." Alfonzo said without turning around. "If you tried approaching Gray like a regular person. Meaning, without stalking him or talking about all that soul mate shit, he would probably be much more receptive to your advances." 

 

Hearing that, Juvia raised her head with a surprised expression on her face. 

 

"As for Ur and Tear, I'm not saying you should give up…" Alfonzo said. "Well, I actually do wish you'd give up on Tear… But anyway, neither of them really seems to be into girls the way you want them to be. So, you're probably barking up the wrong trees in their cases." 

 

Knowing that Alfonzo was right, Juvia lowered her head again. Though, she really was not willing to give up on Ur and Ultear. 

 

"Anyway, I'm going to bed." Alfonzo said as he started moving towards the door. "I gotta get up early to work on those training chambers. So, I'll see you in the morning. Good night." 

 

Then, without waiting for a reply, Alfonzo left the room before returning to his own room. Meanwhile, Juvia spent more time thinking about the way she had been acting since she joined Fairy Tail. 

 

The next morning, Alfonzo, Ultear, and Juvia had breakfast together in the Viper Inn's dining room. While Alfonzo and Ultear looked well rested, Juvia, on the other hand, looked as if she did not sleep very well last night. 

 

"Juvia, are you okay?" Ultear asked in a concerned tone. 

 

Hearing the concern in Ultear's tone, Juvia could not help but brighten up a little bit. However, before she started with her usual antics and calling Ultear her soul mate, she remembered what Alfonzo told her the previous night. 

 

"Yes, Juvia is fine." Juvia replied while lowering her head. "Juvia didn't sleep well last night, that's all." 

 

Hearing that, Ultear breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she looked at Alfonzo with a confused gaze while wondering what he could have said to her last night for Juvia's behavior to change so much, in such a short time. 

 

"Anyway." Alfonzo said, deciding to keep his conversation with Juvia, from the night before, to himself. "We should really start thinking about buying groceries. Although the meals at the hotel aren't bad, they aren't exactly up to my standards, either." 

 

Hearing that, both Ultear and Juvia's eyes lit up. They, too, were getting tired of the meals at the hotel, having been spoiled by Alfonzo's cooking at the guild. 

 

On a side note, Juvia was one of the few Fairy Tail wizards who did not cause property damage on her quests. Something she more than likely brought along with her from her time in Phantom Lord. So, she often exchanged her guild points for Alfonzo's cooking, despite the fact that she could not stand him previously. However, she could not deny the fact that his cooking was delicious. 

 

Then, with thoughts of having Alfonzo's cooking again, Alfonzo, Ultear, and Juvia finished their breakfasts before leaving the inn and heading to the Lamia Scale guild hall in the S 600. 

 

Meanwhile, at the Lamia Scale guild hall, Lyon, Ur's first disciple, finally returned from his quest with the rest of his team, Sherry, Yuka, and Toby. 

 

"It's been more than a week since we left." Yuka, or Yuka Suzuki, a short young man with extremely bushy, rectangular eyebrows, black eyes, and vibrant blue hair styled into a braid wearing mostly green eastern style clothing, said as the quartet entered the guild hall. 

 

"Yeah, I miss everyone." Toby, or Toby Horhorta, a tall lean, muscular young man with straight, shoulder length brown hair, tan skin, large, round black eyes, and features such as the lower half of his face and the ears on the top of his head resembling that of a dog's who wore only a pair of blue pants with frayed hems, replied with a smile. "*Sniff* I'm glad to be home." 

 

"We were only gone for a week, Toby." Lyon said while smiling wryly. "There's no need to cry." 

 

"*Sniff* I'm not crying..." Toby replied while wiping the tears from his face. 

 

"It's okay to cry, Toby." Sherry said while extending her right arm in a theatrical manner and clenching her left fist against her chest. "Especially if it's for {love}." 

 

Naturally, the quartet's usual antics drew the attention of all the wizards present as they entered the guild. 

 

"Welcome back, Lyon, Sherry, Yuka, and Toby." Jura, who was waiting for the Fairy Tail wizards' arrival, said after Lyon's team entered the guild hall. "How was the quest? I assume you completed it." 

 

"Yeah, everything went well, Jura." Lyon said as he led the rest of his team through the guild hall. "We finished it without an issue." 

 

"That's good to hear." Jura replied with a smile. "Well done." 

 

"Thanks." Lyon replied as he looked around the guild hall. Naturally, he noticed that a few of the tables were repositioned. "I guess the construction started while we were gone, huh?" 

 

"I'm actually looking forward to it." Yuka replied. "We'll be able to get more out of our training when it's finished." 

 

"Does that mean Alfonzo is here?" Sherry asked in a curious tone. "*Sigh* Seeing his {love} for his wife, Elicia, was so beautiful." 

 

"No, he's not here right now. But he should be here soon." Jura replied. Then, he made eye contact with Lyon. "And Master Ur's daughter, Ultear came with him." 

 

Hearing that, Lyon began to shudder. During his trip to Magnolia to attend Alfonzo and Elicia's wedding along with Ooba and Jura, he was forced to spar with Ur, to assess his progress. And although Ur said his progress was passible, she told him, just before the wizards from Lamia Scale left Magnolia, that Ultear would be there to test his progress again when Alfonzo arrived to install the training chambers. 

 

"Would you look at the time, we really need to go report to Ooba Babasama on our quest." Lyon said quickly as he turned away from Jura and started walking towards the stairs. "Hopefully this won't take too long, I wouldn't wanna miss Ultear's visit." 

 

"Oh, don't worry, I'll be here all day, Lyon." Ultear's voice sounded from the guild hall's entrance. "So, you can take your time." 

 

Upon hearing Ultear's voice, Lyon froze. Then, after a few seconds, he slowly turned towards Ultear. However, when he caught sight of Juvia, who was standing on Ultear's right, he froze once again. This time, with a completely enamored expression on his face. 

 

"Oh, he looks like he just saw his soul mate." Alfonzo said with a grin. Then, he glanced at Juvia. "And it looks like he's looking at you, Juvia." 

 

In response, Juvia groaned, feeling uncomfortable with the way Lyon was staring at her. Then, she realizing exactly how she had been looking at Ur, Gray, and Ultear, before vowing to be better going forward.

Chapter 452: Lyon's Determination

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Margaret. 

 

January, x786. 

 

With his sights locked on Juvia, Lyon slowly made his way towards the guild hall's entrance. Meanwhile, feeling rather uncomfortable thanks to Lyon's stare, Juvia hid behind Ultear, who could only smile wryly at what was happening. 

 

'I guess she knows how Mom, Gray, and I feel when she's stalking us, huh?' Ultear wondered as she looked over her shoulder at Juvia. 'At least Lyon is watching her up front. I mean, having to use [Magic Power Detection] to find the source of the creepy stare makes it even creepier.' 

 

Despite her thoughts on the matter, Ultear decided to help Juvia out. So, she turned her attention back to Lyon. 

 

"So, you're not gonna return my greeting, huh, Lyon?" Ultear asked as her wry smile vanished from her face. 

 

"Huh?" Lyon exclaimed in surprise, pulled out of his daze by the sound of Ultear's voice. "OH, Ultear, it's nice to see you again… Haha… How long have you been there?" 

 

Feeling the change in atmosphere around Ultear, Lyon immediately realized that was the wrong thing to ask. 

 

"You should go and give your quest report to Master Ooba, Lyon." Ultear said with a sweet smile on her face, a smile that made Lyon shudder in terror. "When you get back, I'm gonna carry out that assessment Mom talked about." 

 

*Gulp!* 

 

Hearing Ultear's declaration, Lyon swallowed his saliva involuntarily. 

 

"Oh, okay…" Lyon said in an apprehensive tone. "I guess I'll see you later, then." 

 

With that, Lyon quickly spun on his heels and began walking towards the stairs at a brisk pace. Meanwhile, Juvia, after seeing Lyon turn away, breathed a sigh of relief. However, it would appear that she relaxed too soon. 

 

"Oh, Ultear, when I get back, you should introduce me to the others who came with you." Lyon said as he stopped and looked back over his shoulder. 

 

Although he asked to be introduced to the others, Lyon's eyes were set firmly on Juvia, barely registering Alfonzo's presence at all. Because if he had, he would have known that he met Alfonzo back in Magnolia when he attended the wedding. 

 

"Sure, we can do that after I assess your progress." Ultear said, waving off Lyon's request. "Just get going." 

 

Nodding in response, Lyon hurried up the stairs. A moment later, Sherry, Yuka, and Toby also followed him upstairs to give the report on their quest. 

 

"I was ignored from the beginning to the end of that whole episode." Alfonzo said as he watched Team Lyon climb the stairs. 

 

"Well, I'm glad he paid more attention to a pretty girl than to a sexy man with a god-like physique." Ultear replied with a smile. 

 

At first, when Ultear called her pretty, Juvia smiled brightly. However, when she heaped even more praise onto Alfonzo, Juvia could not help but start to pout. 

 

Ignoring Juvia's pout, Ultear took Alfonzo by the hand. Then, she pulled him into the guild hall. Eventually, she reached the table where Jura was sitting. 

 

"Sorry, Jura." Ultear said with an apologetic smile. "We'll have to postpone our match for another day. Since Lyon came back, I have to test him like mom asked me to." 

 

"I understand." Jura replied in a peaceful tone while nodding his head. "Unfortunately, it will be at least a week before we can have that spar. I have to return to Era, to discuss something of great importance, tomorrow." 

 

As Jura spoke, he looked towards Alfonzo. 

 

'For some reason, the way he's looking at me is giving me a bad feeling.' Alfonzo thought to himself while he made eye contact with Jura. 'But he's such a nice guy. So, I doubt he's plotting against me. Maybe he's just looking forward to our next spar? But if that were the case, I wouldn't be having this bad feeling. Damn it, I don't know what's going on.' 

 

Unbeknownst to Alfonzo, the reason Jura was staring at him the way he was had something to do with the letter Ur received a few days ago. More specifically, the fact that Alfonzo's name was on the list of candidates for the open spot among the Ten Wizard Saints. 

 

And because Jura had fought with Alfonzo not long ago, he was leaning towards voting for him when the meeting took place in Era. Though, it would be quite some time before Alfonzo ever found out about this. 

 

With that, Ultear and Jura continued to chat. Meanwhile, Juvia was content to just stay near Ultear. At the same time, Alfonzo excused himself and made his way down to the guild hall's basement to continue his work. 

 

About half an hour later, Lyon, Sherry, Yuka, and Toby made their way down the stairs. And when they did, Lyon's eyes zeroed in on Juvia once again. Then, as soon as his feet touched the floor, Lyon sped up his steps as he made a B line towards the table where Ultear, Juvia, and Jura sat, leaving the rest of his team behind. 

 

"What's up with Lyon?" Toby asked while scratching the side of his head. "Aren't we gonna celebrate our successful quest?" 

 

"It looks like Lyon has a thing for that blue-haired girl." Yuka replied while watching his leader walk across the guild hall. 

 

"That's right." Sherry said, taking her usual pose. "I think he's in {love}." 

 

Hearing that, Toby looked between Sherry and Yuka with confusion on his face. A moment later, he realized that the third of the visitors was not present. 

 

"Hey, where is that other guy?" Toby asked while scanning the guild hall. 

 

"He probably went to work on the new training chambers." Yuka said as he began approaching the table where Lyon was. "That was Alfonzo Marcus, the one Ooba Babasama hired to build them, after all." 

 

"Oooooon" Toby exclaimed in excitement. A moment later, Toby's confused expression returned as he followed behind Yuka. "But what does that mean? Don't we already have a place to train?" 

 

"*Sigh* You'll see the difference when they're done." Yuka replied, not wanting to waste the energy it would take to get Toby, who was not the smartest member of Lamia Scale, to understand. 

 

Meanwhile, Lyon finally arrived in front of the table where Ultear, Juvia, and Jura were seated. Then, while ignoring Ultear and Jura, he reached for Juvia's hand. 

 

"Hello, it's nice to meet you." Lyon said with what he thought was a charming smile. "My name is Lyon Vastia, an A-Class wizard of Lamia Scale. May I ask your name, beautiful lady?" 

 

Recoiling at the fervor with which Lyon introduced himself, Juvia quickly pulled her hand away before Lyon could grab it. 

 

"Juvia's name is Juvia." Juvia said while scooting away from Lyon. "And Juvia already has a soul mate. Three, in fact. So, Juvia is not interested in getting to know you." 

 

Upon hearing Juvia's blunt refusal to talk to him, Lyon staggered back, feeling as if he had taken physical damage. However, the flames of determination burned brightly in his eyes. 

 

"Ooh…" Yuka muttered as he heard Juvia's reply to Lyon's introduction. "That's gotta hurt." 

 

"Yes, it must." Sherry added. "To have your {love} denied so bluntly… It's so sad." 

 

"Oooooon!" Toby exclaimed angrily. "Don't be mean to Lyon!" 

 

However, Toby's outburst was ignored. 

 

Eventually, Lyon got himself back together and took a step towards Juvia once again. 

 

"Please, at least give me a chance." Lyon said in a pleading tone. "I can show you that I'm better for you than any of the three you mentioned. And if they aren't willing to give you up, I will challenge them for your hand." 

 

Hearing that, Juvia recoiled even further. Then, she glanced at Ultear, who was smiling at her with a sense of schadenfreude. 

 

'Is this what Ultear feels like when Juvia asked her to leave Alfonzo?' Juvia asked herself while inching away from Lyon. 'Now, Juvia feels bad for the way she acted. Still, Juvia doesn't wanna give up on Ultear. But now Juvia can see why Ultear doesn't like it.' 

 

'No, Juvia is fine with things the way they are.' Juvia replied. 

 

"Besides, it sounds like you wanna challenge me, Lyon." Ultear said, finally deciding she had had enough of being ignored. "It sounds like you wanna challenge Mom and Gray, too." 

 

"Huh?" Lyon exclaimed in confusion. "What do you mean, Ultear? When did I say I wanted to challenge you or Ur?" 

 

Noticing that Lyon did not seem to mind challenging Gray, Ultear grinned. Seeing the two of them fight might be entertaining. Putting that thought to the back of her head, Ultear decided to answer Lyon's question. 

 

"Do you remember when we took on the Oración Seis?" Ultear asked. "And we told you that someone called Mom, Gray, and I their soul mates?" 

 

"Yeah, I got beat up pretty bad for making it seem like no one would ever fall in love with the three of you." Lyon replied as he winced at the memory of the beating he took. Then, his eyes opened wide in realization. "Don't tell me… It was her?" 

 

As he asked his question, Lyon pointed a trembling finger at Juvia. Meanwhile, his expression was screaming: "Please tell me I'm wrong about this!" 

 

"Exactly." Ultear replied with a nod, crushing Lyon's hopes in the process. "And although I don't agree with being her soul mate, challenging the ones she's deluded herself into believing are meant for her means that you've challenged not only me, but Mom and Gray, as well." 

 

Hearing that, Lyon took a step back in fear. However, he quickly regained his determined expression. 

 

"Even if I have to fight you and Master Ur, I won't back down." Lyon said resolutely. "I'll prove that I am better for Juvia than any of you." 

 

"*Sigh* His {love} is so beautiful." Sherry said with stars in her eyes. "Now I wish I could see Ren. I really miss him right now." 

 

"Although I agree that you're probably better for Juvia than Mom and I, I can't ignore the fact that you challenged me." Ultear said with a battle hungry grin. 

 

"There's no way he's better for Juvia than you and Ur!" Juvia shouted in protest. Though, she was completely ignored. 

 

"So, why don't we head out to the training grounds." Ultearr continued. "Then, you can show me what makes you so great for Juvia." 

 

Nodding in return, Lyon turned away from the table and made his way towards the training grounds. Meanwhile, Juvia looked at Ultear as if she had been betrayed. 

 

"Why are you looking at me like that, Juvia?" Ultear asked as she stood from her seat. "I've been telling you for years that I'm not interested in you like that, right?" 

 

"But you are Juvia's soul mate…" Juvia muttered. 

 

"*Sigh* Alfonzo was right." Ultear said as she started following after Lyon. "We really do need to talk." 

 

Hearing that, Juvia trembled as tears began pooling in her eyes. Still, she stood up as well, deciding to follow Ultear and watch the fight between Lyon and Ultear. 

 

Ultear, on the other hand, was thinking something totally different. 

 

'Good, with Lyon so fired up, I'll be able to see exactly what he's capable of.' Ultear said with a smile that no one noticed. 'Then, I'll be able to tell Mom exactly how much he's improved.' 

 

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Magnolia. 

 

At the same time, Gildarts had just arrived in Ur's office after completing a 10 Years Quest. And when he did, he noticed that Ur was in a pretty good mood. And when he saw her smile, he could not help but remember the fact that Ur had told him she was interested in him, should he be able to stop his womanizing ways. 

 

Little did Ur know at the time, however, was the fact that Gildarts had not been up to his normal womanizing ways ever since he found out about Cana being his daughter. And the reason for that was simple, he did not want to end up with any more children that he did not know about. 

 

Unfortunately, he had laid with too many women over the years to find out if there were any more unknown children of his running around Ishgar. 

 

"Oh, welcome back, Gildarts." Ur said with a smile. "How as the quest? I would assume you completed it." 

 

"Yeah, I finished it without a problem." Gildarts replied with a shrug. 

 

Nodding in response, Ur wore an expression that said: "As expected." A moment later, however, her expression changed into a slight frown. 

 

"And how much property damage did you cause?" Ur asked while glaring pointedly. 

 

"None." Gildarts replied while puffing out his chest proudly. 

 

Naturally, this caused Ultear to look at him skeptically. 

 

"I highly doubt that." Ur replied. 

 

"It's true, I promise." Gildarts replied while smiling wryly. "I might have collapsed an entire mountain, though. But that didn't belong to anyone, so…" 

 

"*Sigh* I knew it…" Ur replied while rubbing her temples. "And where did that quest take place again?" 

 

"Seven." Gildarts replied. "It was a request to find a certain magical ore that could only be found in the interior of a certain mountain. Unfortunately, those scholar types did not have the fire power to get past all the magic beasts inhabiting the mountain." 

 

"*Sigh* I guess I should look out for a compensation request from Seven's government, then." Ur replied in a tired tone. 

 

"Huh? What do you mean?" Gildarts asked in a confused tone. "That mountain wasn't anyone's property." 

 

"*Sigh* For someone who's been a wizard for so long, it amazes me how little you know about the world." Ur said while shaking her head. 

 

Ur then went on to explain that even if a person or a group did not own a piece of land, it falls under the ownership of the country. 

 

In response, Gildarts wore an aghast expression. 

 

"And to think, I've been taking quests outside of towns for the last year to avoid property damage." Gildarts muttered as he lowered his head in contemplation. "Now I understand why I haven't been getting any of those guild points." 

 

Shaking off that thought, Gildarts raised his head and made eye contact with Ur. On top of that, he wore a serious expression on his face. 

 

"Anyway, now that I'm done giving my report, there's something I need to say to you, Ur." Gildarts said in a solemn tone.
