章節 657: Amar'e's First Word

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Crocus.

 

June 30, x789.

 

"Ahahahahaha!" Cana's and Rika's laughter echoed through the Blackbird's cabin.

 

"Really, Fonzie?" Elicia asked while rolling her eyes from the Blackbird's co-pilot seat.

 

"What do you mean?" Alfonzo asked while tilting his head in confusion.

 

"Don't give us that, Mister." Lucy said in an exasperated tone. "You actually used your [Telepathy] to listen to everyone's reaction to the Blackbird, which I don't have a problem with..."

 

"But you actually echoed, 'That's what she said,' through the connection when you heard someone say, 'It's so big.' Irene said, finishing Lucy's thought with an amused smile on her face. 'Seriously, will you ever grow up?"

 

In response, Alfonzo only smiled at the accusation. Though, he did not even try to deny it. Instead, he just enjoyed everyone's reaction.

 

"What makes it even funnier is the fact that Fonzie has to say it, or he gets severe stomach cramps." Cana said after getting her laughter under control.

 

That statement only drew a flat stare from Irene.

 

 

"You can't be serious." Brandish said in a dumbfounded tone.

 

"*Sigh* Unfortunately, Cana is telling the truth." Elicia said while rubbing her temples. "When we were kids---"

 

"Were?" Irene asked in an amused tone as her dry stare turned into an amused grin. "You can stop calling yourselves kids in front of me after you reach your first century."

 

"We actually took Fonzie to see Porlyusica because he told us that when we were younger." Elicia said as she rolled her eyes at Irene. "And she examined him, confirming what he said about having to say it, or stuff like it."

 

Immediately, the more recent members of the guild riding in the Blackbird looked on in dumbfounded amazement.

 

Meanwhile, Alfonzo, who has had his [Magic Power Detection] active ever since they left the airspace over Magnolia, slightly furrowed his eyebrows after feeling a familiar magic power signature. 

 

"I guess she's back." Alfonzo muttered quietly while shaking his head as he carefully set the Blackbird down on the Sixth Sense Hotel's roof. "I just hope things don't get too out of hand when some of the girls see her."

 

Deciding that he could think about that later, Alfonzo shook his head. Then, he shut off the Blackbird's magic engines and raised his head.

 

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking." Alfonzo said, speaking into the Blackbird's comms as he did so. "We have landed at our destination, Crocus, the Capital City of the kingdom of Fiore. The time is 3:27 pm and the external temperature is 88° F. In other words, the day is beautiful and perfect for enjoying the festival atmosphere. So, I hope you all genuinely enjoy your trips to our nation's capital. And thank you for flying with us. The airships doors will be lowered momentarily. Please make sure you have all your personal items before disembarking and have a great day."

 

In response, everyone familiar with Alfonzo's antics, meaning everyone aboard the Blackbird, rolled their eyes in unison. Still, they all smiled at the silly announcement. Then, they all gathered their belongings and got ready to disembark.

 

At the same time, as is customary among Fairy Tail wizards when leaving Magnolia, everyone spread their [Magic Power Detection] to be ready for anything. However, when that happened, Elicia, Cana, Ultear, Erza, Mirajane, Marin, Sun, and Lucy all twitched an eyebrow.

 

"*Sigh* This isn't going to be a peaceful trip, is it?" Elicia asked s she unbuckled Amar'e from his special baby seat.

 

"That bitch!' Cana growled. "She's back!"

 

"Good." Marin said with a nod. "I've always wished I had hit her more than once."

 

"Huh? What's going on?" Levy, who despite having known everyone who seemed upset for so long, asked in confusion.

 

"Sorry, Levy." Lucy said while smiling wryly. "It's kind of a personal matter. Still, I didn't expect to see her again."

 

"Who are you all talking about that's got you in such a mood?" Irene asked in a curious tone.

 

"*Sigh* Yoruichi Shihouin." Ultear said in a somewhat dismal tone. "It's been a few years since any of us saw her. I thought we would have gotten over our past grievances by now. But…"

 

"Speak for yourself!" Cana shouted. "After what she did to Fonzie, I'm never going to forgive that bitch!"

 

Although Cana's words were not directed at her, Elicia lowered her head with guilt, as she was just as responsible for what happened back then.

 

"Don't worry about it, Lici." Alfonzo said while wrapping Elicia in a hug from behind. "It's in the past and you've been forgiven. Just let it go."

 

"*Sigh* I know you're right, Fonzie." Elicia said as she leaned into Alfonz's hug with Amar'e in her arms. "But I can't help it."

 

By now, everyone had noticed Alfonzo trying to comfort Elicia, and the atmosphere calmed.

 

"Look, I'm not gonna tell you all how to feel about her." Alfonzo said while shaking his head with a bitter smile on his face. "I might have gotten over it, for the most part. But if you don't like her, you don't have to try to. Just don't do anything that will bringdown Fairy Tail's reputation, got it?"

 

Those who knew what was going on nodded in understanding with differing expressions. At the same time, everyone who did not know the details of the situation looked even more confused than before.

 

"Anyway, let's go check in at the hotel." Alfonzo said, his tone much more cheerful than before. "And look at it this way, with Yoruichi and Sui-Feng here, the Games will, at the very least, be much more interesting, right? Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe dominating the competition has gotten pretty boring by now, right?"

 

Though they were mostly done begrudgingly, Alfonzo's ladies who were involved with him during the whole Yoruichi debacle nodded their heads in agreement. Meanwhile, Alfonzo and Elicia, after feeling the increase in Yoruichi's magic power, were both smiling internally. Then, they made eye contact for a moment.

 

'We might actually get to participate in the Grand Magic Games next year.' Alfonzo and Elicia thought simultaneously during their brief eye contact.

 

After that, everyone on the Blackbird disembarked and met up with those who just disembarked from the Fairy's Tail, the identical airship with a different color scheme that Alfonzo made for the guild. Then, after heading into the hotel from the roof, they met up with the members of the guild who were not lucky enough to get a ride on either airship before checking into their rooms.

 

Once all the check ins were complete, everyone was free to explore Crocus as they liked. During that time of exploration, Alfonzo walked around with Cana, Ultear, and Marin, the ones who wanted to find Yoruichi the most. Not to say he was against them trying to settle their differences in a more physical way. But... Now just was not the time. Especially with all the bystanders who could get caught up in their conflict.

 

Like that, the rest of the afternoon passed. Eventually, all the guilds slowly trickled back into their lodgings, expecting the preliminary round of the Grand Magic Games to begin as the clock struck midnight. And they were all correct, as a loud sound and a hologram of the Grand Magic Games' mascot, Mato, appeared in the skies of Crocus just as the clock struck midnight.

 

July 1, x789.

 

{"Hello! Hello! And Good evening!"} Mato cheered excitedly, his high-pitched voice projected all over the city. {"It's that time of year again! The time that you've all been waiting for! Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to thin the herd. From the hundreds of guilds that call Fiore their home, we'll bring that number down to eight. And this is how we'll do it!"}

 

As Mato reached that point, his hologram blinked, turing into a different image. Now, the image floating above the city was that of a tower with eight levels.

 

{"During this year's preliminary round, every team will enter this tower."} Mato continued excitedly. {"And they will have a challenge to overcome on each floor. And just like every year, the first eight teams to finish will gain entry to the main event that starts in the morning. So, is everyone ready?"}

 

At the same time, a [Teleportation Magic Circle] lit up in the plaza outside the Flower Light Palace, Mercurius.

 

"Well then! On your marks! Get set!" Mato shouted, raising the tension without even explaining where everyone should go to start the prelims. "Go!"

 

With Mato's shout, hundreds of five-man teams shot out of hotels from around the city racing towards the plaza where the [Teleportation Magic Circle] was set up.

 

"Yup, this is gonna be a tough year for us." Alfonzo muttered after seeing that Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe were the second team to reach the [Teleportation Circle].

 

"Yeah, Yoruichi is still as fast as ever." Elicia added while she looked out the window of the hotel room with Alfonzo.

 

"Regardless of anything, she's really strong." Marin said in a huff. "Something tells me that if she didn't let me, I would have never been able to punch her back then."

 

"You're probably right." Erza said with a nod. "As someone who fought and lost to her, I advise all of you to not underestimate her strength."

 

In response, Cana, Ultear, Mirajane, Marin, Sun, and Lucy nodded in understanding. Though, Cana did it quite begrudgingly with gritted teeth and clenched fists.

 

{"And it looks like our first team has completed the challenge!"} Mato shouted as the image of the tower with teams streaming in through the entrance on the ground floor changed to show a five-man team standing together on the top floor. {"And it's the reigning champions, Laxus Dreyar, Saya Takagi, Fried, Bickslow, and Evergreen of Fairy Tail!"}

 

"Look at the way everyone is looking at Saya and Fried." Alfonzo said, pointing at the hologram in the sky. "How much you wanna bet that this was not a test of might. Instead, it was a test of brains."

 

"Definitely." Saeko replied with a nod. "And there was a reason why Saya was the best student at Fujimi Academy back before the zombie outbreak."

 

"I still don't understand what she sees in Laxus, though." Mirajane said while rocking Bianca in her arms. "I mean, I know how intelligent Laxus is, when he stops to think, that is. But he almost never shows it in his day to day life."

 

"Wow! Mira, you're making it seem like he's as dumb as Natsu." Elicia said in a fake aghast tone.

 

"Oh, heaven's no." Mirajane replied with a smile. "Trust me, as his sister-in-law, I have come to understand just how dumb Natsu is. And there's simply no comparison. All I'm saying is that Laxus tends to hide his intelligence more often than not."

 

Mirajane's response drew giggles from the other girls in the room.

 

{"The second team has emerged!"} Mato shouted, interrupting the conversation. {"And it's the ladies from Mermaid Heel. It looks like they're making a strong start this year!"}

 

Putting their conversation on hold, the group looked up at the hologram, expecting to see Kagura, Anko, Yoruichi, Sui-Feng, and one from Araña, Risley, Beth or Millianna. They were all surprised when they saw the gorgeous woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a rack that could match Tsunade in size.

 

"What's the deal with all these blondes and their abnormally big tits?" Cana asked while looking at her D-cup breasts that looked small when compared with the woman in the hologram.

 

"What do you mean?" Shizuka asked while tilting her head in confusion.

 

"You know what...? Never mind." Cana said while throwing her arms up in frustration before taking a bottle of liquor out of her [Storage Card].

 

"It's not just blondes, though." Ultear said as she stepped between Erza and Irene. She then poked each of them in the breasts as she continued. "There's something about redheads, too."

 

While Erza barely reacted to Ultear's prodding, Irene smiled proudly and crossed her arms under her breasts and hefted them up, emphasizing the largest pair of breasts that anyone had ever seen even more. 

 

While the others joked around about breast sizes, Alfonzo and Elicia continued to stare at the newest member of Mermaid Heel with the light of recognition in their eyes. Then, they exchanged glances with anticipation replacing the recognition.

 

'The chances of us getting to be in next year's magic games just keeps going up.' Alfonzo and Elicia thought simultaneously as smiles crept onto each of their faces.

 

However, all that excitement came to an end when Amar'e, who had been sleeping in the bed between Alfonzo and Elicia, climbed out of bed and slowly made his way over to his parents. He then pulled on Alfonzo's shorts, getting his father's attention.

 

When Alfonzo looked down at his son with a smile on his face, Amar'e, with a sleepy look in his eyes, raised his arms, indicating that he wanted to be picked up.

 

"Dada..." Amar'e mumbled sleepily.

 

Immediately, the room fell silent, as if everyone had been paying attention to Amar'e once he started moving. A moment later, Alfonzo's smile widened to an unprecedented degree while Elicia's expression became frustrated. Then, Alfonzo bent down and swept Amar'e up from the floor excitedly.

 

"Hahahahaha!" Alfonzo laughed boisterously. "He said his first word! And it was Dada! Hahahahaha! Suck it, Lici!"

章節 658: Not the Best Reunion, Huh?

Earth Land, Ishgar, Kingdom of Fiore, Crocus.

 

July 5, x789.

 

After everyone celebrated Amar'e's first word, they all went back to watching the preliminary round of the Grand Magic Games. And to no one's surprise, the next three teams to finish the preliminaries were Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, and Quatro Cerberus, in that order. After that, three teams that weren't as famous as the first five guilds to finish rounded out the top eight.

 

With nothing left to see, everyone went back to bed. Then, in the morning, they all got ready and went to the Domus Flau to watch the first day of the Grand Magic Games.

 

The next few days went on with a similar schedule. By the end of the fourth day, the scores were close with Mermaid Heel holding the lead over Fairy Tail by ten points. In fact, if Evergreen had not lost to Rangiku in the Battle Round at the end of the third day, the scores would be flipped, both having won two events, and came in second and third on the other two. Also, with the exception of the match between Evergreen and Rangiku, both teams had won all their Battle Rounds, as well.

 

But today, no one was rushing to get up and head to the Domus Flaw. Because today would be a rest day. Then, the teams would all gather for the last event on the next day. And that would determine the winner of this year's Grand Magic Games.

 

"*Gulp* *Gulp* *Gulp*" Cana, sitting on the couch in the suite where Alfonzo, his ladies, and his children were staying, chugged down a bottle of wine with a frustrated expression on her face.

 

"Why the long face, Cana?" Sun asked curiously while taking a seat next to Cana. "Is it because Laxus and the others are losing?"

 

"*Burp* No… Well… Yes, that's part of it." Cana replied after gulping down the last of the wine in the bottle. "But more than that, it's because that bitch is winning right now."

 

"Cana, language!" Elicia said sternly. "Even Fonzie watches what he says when Mar'e and BiBi are around."

 

"Sorry… Sorry…" Cana replied, raising her arms in surrender. "I'm just really frustrated. Why does it have to be her?"

 

"*Sigh* I know you don't like her…" Alfonzo said as he took the seat on the other side of Cana. "but regardless of what you think, it's obvious she's worked hard to get stronger. And I know you're better than someone who would belittle someone's effort."

 

"*Sigh* I know…" Cana replied while lowering her head as she leaned into Alfonzo. "I know she had to have worked hard. But why does it have to be her that's beating our team? If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be this upset."

 

Seeing the tears welling up in Cana's eyes, Alfonzo wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a tight hug.

 

"Well then, all you need to do is go out and have some fun." Marin said as she came over and stood in front of the couch. "That should be able to take your mind off of things."

 

Marin then pointed at Alfonzo with a smile on her face.

 

"And as her husband, you should accompany her, Fonzie." Marin added cheerfully.

 

"Hey! She's not the only one who's unhappy to see Yoruichi doing so well, you know." Ultear said with a pout.

 

In the next instant, Marin spun on her heels and shifted her pointing finger to Ultear.

 

"Then, you should go with them." Marin said. "He's your husband, too. And I'm sure he could handle you both at the same time."

 

With that, Marin winked playfully, causing most of the ladies in the room to giggle.

 

"*Cough*I suppose that's true." Ultear said, her cheeks turning pink at Marin's insinuation.

 

"So, where do the two of you wanna go? Ryuzetsu land?" Alfonzo asked.

 

"I wanna fly." Cana said as she finally raised her head. "take us for a trip around Fiore in the Blackbird."

 

"I'm okay with that." Alfonzo replied with a shrug before turning to look at Ultear. "What about you?"

 

"No objections here." Ultear replied with a smile.

 

"Cool." Alfonzo said with a smile. He then swept his gaze over the rest of his wives and lovers. "anyone else wanna go?"

 

"Nope." Elicia replied while shaking her head. "I'm taking Mar'e to play at Ryuzetsu Land, now that you mentioned it."

 

Elicia then lowered her voice and spoke in a slightly bitter tone.

 

"With you gone, he might finally say Mama."

 

Although she tried to be quiet, everyone was strong enough to catch Elicia's grumbles and burst into laughter.

 

"I'll go with Lici." Sun said. "I love swimming."

 

"Of course you do.' Lucy said. "but I think I'll go, too. Laying out in the sun and getting a tan sounds nice."

 

Most of the ladies agreed to follow along to Ryuzetsu Land to either play in the water or sunbathe. Mirajane, on the other hand, decided to take Bianca and walk around with Lisanna and Miyako.

 

Meanwhile, three women had just left the hotel where the ladies from Mermaid Heel were staying.

 

"So, you're finally going to speak to him" Rangiku asked as she, Yoruichi, and Sui-Feng stepped out onto the streets of Crocus. "But why did you wait so long?"

 

"I wanted to focus on the Games." Yoruichi replied. "Otherwise, I would have gone to Magnolia sometime after we got here from the Soul continent."

 

"I guess that makes sense." Rangiku said while nodding her head slowly. "but if that's the case, why didn't you wait until tomorrow's event was over?"

 

"*Sigh* Because I didn't know if he'd stay here after that." Yoruichi said as she started walking towards the Sixth Sense Hotel. "So, today felt like the perfect day."

 

"I see." Rangiku replied before falling silent.

 

Meanwhile, the third woman, Sui-Feng, had nothing to say. By now, thanks to her re-education, she understood why what Yoruichi did a few years ago was so wrong. Still, that did not stop her from disliking Alfonzo. There was no real reason to it, either. She just did not like him, and she would not be able to explain why if someone were to ask.

 

About twenty minutes later, Yoruichi, Sui-Feng, and Rangiku rounded the corner closest to the Sixth Sense Hotel. However, just as they did, they heard the sound of air being displaced in large amounts.

 

Looking up, they were just in time to see the Blackbird taking off from the hotel's roof.

 

"Damn it…" Yoruichi muttered. "did he leave because he felt me coming?"

 

"Huh?" Rangiku exclaimed in confusion. "What do you mean? How would that be possible. Does Fairy Tail have someone watching us?"

 

"Well… Sort of." Yoruichi replied while shaking her head.

 

Yoruichi then went on to explain that the members of Fairy Tail had a way of keeping track of everyone in a certain range with their senses. Though, she admitted to having no idea how.

 

"Seriously?" Rangiku asked in an amazed tone. "That's incredible. It sure would come in handy to know a skill like that."

 

"Yeah." Yoruichi said while nodding in agreement. "but it's some kind of Fairy Tail guild secret. So, unless you can figure it out on your own, they won't tell you."

 

"I see.' Rangiku said with a nod. She then turned her attention back to the hotel. "Anyway, just because the airship took off, it doesn't mean he's not here, right? Let's just go in and ask."

 

"I guess you're right." Yoruichi replied with a nod of her own.

 

With that, Yoruichi, Sui-Feng, and Rangiku entered the hotel. Then, they asked the receptionist about what room Alfonzo was staying in. And because it was no secret that Fairy Tail and Mermaid Heel were on good terms, it did not take much time for the receptionist to give them the information they were looking for. So, after thanking the receptionist, they quickly made their way upstairs to the highest floor where Alfonzo and his harem were staying.

 

"Wow! This hotel is so much nicer than the one we're staying in." Rangiku said while looking around as the trio made their way towards the stairs.

 

"Well, from what I've been able to find out, Fairy Tail is one of the share holders of Sixth Sense Holdings." Yoruichi replied. "So, it makes sense that they would stay in their own hotel. But it's bothering me that I still haven't been able to figure out who the majority share holder is. I even went to find Erina, a former chef at our guild hall. But she wouldn't tell me anything, either. Oh shit… Why did it take me so long to figure that out?"

 

A moment later, Yoruichi opened her eyes wide in realization.

 

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Rangiku asked in a curious tone.

 

"It was Alfonzo who poached Erina from the guild." Yoruichi said. "Then, she started working for Sixth Sense Holdings at their Restaurant and Lounge. It was so obvious."

 

"Wait! Are you saying that Alfonzo Marcus is the true owner of Sixth Sense Holdings?" Rangiku asked. "That company even has branch stores on the Soul Continent. And how old is he? Twenty-two? Twenty-three? There's no way he could be the owner of such a big company at such a young age."

 

Not only Rangiku, but Sui-feng was also surprised by the revelation. However, she had nothing to say. Her cheeks did redden, though. Especially after remembering how she had once said that Alfonzo could not match Yoruichi in terms of social position.

 

"The revelation surprised me just as much as it did you." Yoruichi said while shaking her head. "anyway, let's just keep moving."

 

Receiving nods from both Sui-Feng and Rangiku, Yoruichi led the three through the hotel.

 

A few minutes later, Yoruichi, Sui-Feng, and Rangiku were standing on the hotel's top floor. While they were looking at the numbers on the doors to determine which suite was Alfonzo's, one of the doors opened. Through it, a white haired, blue-eyed woman, Mirajane stepped through it while carrying an infant with brown skin, white hair, and grey eyes, Bianca, in a baby carrier.

 

"I guess we found the right room." Rangiku said as she gestured at Mirajane with her chin. "This is the She-Devil, Mirajane. Yeah?"

 

"Yeah…" Yoruichi replied in a somewhat hesitant tone. "Hey, Mirajane… Long time, no see."

 

A moment later, Mey-Rin stepped through the door. She then flared her magic power in preparation to [Requip] her weapons of choice for indoor combat, a pair of magic pistols, into her hands.

 

"It's okay, Mey-Rin." Mirajane said calmly. "They're not enemies."

 

However, Mirajane did not respond to Yoruichi's greeting after talking down Mey-Rin. She did look at Rangiku with an interested gaze, though. A moment later, she stepped forward and held a hand out to Rangiku with a smile on her face.

 

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." Mirajane said while holding Bianca's baby carrier in her left hand. "You're the new member of Mermaid Heel, Rangiku Matsumoto, right? I gotta say, you're pretty strong. Did you come here to see Lici? I mean, most people do. Everyone wants something custom made by her, after all. Well, you're in luck, she hasn't left yet."

 

"Oh… Um.. Thanks." Rangiku replied while extending her hand to grasp Mirajane's and simultaneously glancing at Yoruichi to see her reaction.

 

Unsurprised by Mirajane ignoring her, Yoruichi could only smile awkwardly while trying to calm Sui-Feng down with hand gestures. Because Sui-Feng, although she had been through re-education, it was still hard for her to tolerate someone so blatantly disrespecting Yoruichi.

 

"Well, if you'd excuse me, I've got an appointment with my sister." Mirajane said, pretending as if she did not notice Sui-Feng's growing anger. "But I hope we get the chance to talk later."

 

"Sure." Rangiku replied, finding the whole situation a bit comical after getting past the surprise. "I think I'd like that, too."

 

With that, Mirajane smiled brightly. Then, she released Rangiku's hand and walked around the trio before heading down the hall towards the elevator with Mey-Rin following her closely.

 

At that moment, the door opened once again and Marin poked her head out.

 

"Hey, Mira, is someone---" Marin began to say before she noticed Yoruichi.

 

"OH, it's just the new girl from Mermaid Heel, Rangiku." Mirajane replied without turning around. "She probably wants Lici to make her something."

 

Hearing that, Marin gasped. A moment later, however, she smiled brightly as she turned her attention back to the trio of Mermaid Heel wizards. And when her eyes landed on Sui-Feng, who looked as if she still wanted to cut off her hand,, she smiled even brighter.

 

"Well, come on in." Marin said, turning her attention back to Rangiku. "I certainly wouldn't hold up Lici from making money. You can bring your friends in, too. There's no one in side who might try to fight them on sight… for now."

 

With that, Marin pulled herself back into the suite. Meanwhile, Yoruichi, Sui-Feng, and Rangiku exchanged glances before they followed Marin. However, before she entered the suite, Yoruichi turned around and shouted.

 

"Hey, Mirajane, congratulations.!" Yoruichi shouted just before Mirajane reached the elevator.

 

Hearing Yoruichi, Mirajane came to a stop, causing Mey-Rin to do the same. Then, she turned around and smiled brightly, despite her feelings about Yoruichi.

 

"Thank you." Mirajane said with a happy smile on her face. "She's the best gift Alfonzo has ever given me."

 

After that, Mirajane turned around without another word and pressed the elevator's call button, the doors sliding open almost immediately because it had not been called to another floor since Yoruichi's trio arrived.

 

At the same time, Yoruichi walked into the suite. When she did, she arrived to intense stares from Erza, Marin, Sun, and Lucy while Saeko, Shizuka, Rika, Irene, Heine, and Juliet, the latter two only being here because they were going to accompany the others to Ryuzetsu Land, staring at her with curiosity. Meanwhile, Rangiku was off to the side talking to Elicia about making accustom order while stealing curious glances at the confrontation.

 

Sui-Feng, on the other hand, was glaring back at the four women. But no one was paying her any attention.

 

"So…. Uh... Hi, everyone." Yoruichi said awkwardly, lacking her usual confidence and mischief. "it's been a while, huh?"

 

Yet, none of the women staring her down replied to Yoruichi's greeting.

 

"*Sigh* okay, I know I deserve this, but come on." Yoruichi said after several seconds of tense silence. "Is there anyway I can make it up to you?"

 

"How about staying away from our husband forever?" Sun asked while tilting her head cutely.

 

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense." Yoruichi replied. "But I still need to talk to him at least one more time."

 

"Do you really think we would ever let that happen?" Lucy asked with her hands resting on her hips. "Especially after what you did?"

 

"More importantly, would you if you were in our position?" Marin added.

 

"Probably not." Yoruichi replied honestly. "At least, I wouldn't want to."

 

"Then, why should we?" Marin followed up.

 

"Because that's Alfonzo's decision to make, isn't it?" Yoruichi asked.

 

That caused Marin, Sun, and Lucy to fall silent, not knowing what to say.

 

"She's right, you know." Elicia said, inserting herself into the conversation. "As much as you don't' like it, it is Fonzie's decision."

 

Elicia then turned to Yoruichi with a complicated expression on her face.

 

"Hey, Yoruichi." Elicia said in an awkward tone. "It's good to see you again."

 

"You two, Lici." Yoruichi replied while smiling just as awkwardly.

 

Nodding her head, Yoruichi then turned back to the other four.

 

"But that doesn't mean you have to let them be alone." Elicia said, noticing that Marin, Sun, and Lucy seemed to be upset with what she said. "But you can't decide things like that for him."

 

While that conversation was going on, Irene approached Erza from behind and whispered into her daughter's ear.

 

"I'm not sure what that woman did, but you clearly are." Irene said quietly. "So, why don't you seem as upset as Marin, Sun, and Lucy. Come to think of it, Cana, Mira, and Ultear seemed to be just as angry if not worse. But you… You're too calm."

 

"It's because we fought shortly after that incident happened." Erza replied just as quietly. "And I got a good feel for what her personality is like. And although it was a terrible mistake she made, I don't' think that she is irredeemable. Like the others seem to."

 

"I see." Irene replied with a nod before backing away with an entertained grin.

 

"Anyway, Fonzie's not here." Elicia said after Marin, Sun, and Lucy stopped glaring at her. "So, you won't be able to talk to him until after the last event."

 

"*Sigh* I see." Yoruichi replied while dropping her head in disappointment. "Okay, I'll try again later, then."

 

With that, Yoruichi turned around and stepped towards the door. Then, just after opening it, she looked over her shoulder at Rangiku.

 

"I'll see you back at the hotel." Yoruichi said, not sounding very energetic at the moment. "come on, Bumble Bee, let's go."

 

"Yes, Lady Yoruichi." Sui-Feng replied, giving Elicia, Erza, Marin, Sun, and Lucy, especially Marin, one last glare before she followed Yoruichi out of the room.

 

Meanwhile, all of Alfonzo's wives and girlfriends, minus Elicia, went back to getting ready for their trip to Ryuzetsu land. As for Elicia, she went back to taking Rangiku's custom order. Oh, how she loved making clothes for characters from her favorite manga/anime.

 

'Well, I guess I'm not gonna get to find out what happened today.' Rangiku thought to herself while continuing to describe what she was looking for to Elicia. 'Oh well, I'll be here for a few years, at least. So, there's plenty of time to try and pry it out of Yoruichi.'
