Fighting through pirates with Fairy Tail

Chapter 39 The spirit of Fairy Tail will live on forever!

"Congratulations, Uru."

"With an overwhelming advantage, he won the championship of this year's 'Selection of the Best Man' contest, thus obtaining the title of 'Fairy Tail's Number One Best Man'."

Makarov stood on the stage, and as the president of Fairy Tail, he personally presented Uru with the trophy and prize money from the selection tournament, and greeted him warmly, "So, Uru, as this year's winner, is there anything you'd like to say to everyone?"

"Anyway, whatever the competition is at next year's Harvest Festival, whether it's a fighting tournament or an arm wrestling match... the championship title will be mine. You guys better be prepared."

Holding the trophy, Uru addressed the Fairy Tail guild's mages in the audience, speaking loudly.

"oh!!"

"Just you wait, Uru!"

"I absolutely will not let you win the championship again, you bastard!"

"We've changed our plans. Next year, our ultimate goal is singular: to snatch Uruguay's championship title."

As Ul's words fell, the entire Fairy Tail guild erupted in cheers. The mages in the guild all looked up to the sky and roared, expressing their dissatisfaction with Ul.

Wow.

"That's a truly remarkable statement."

In the audience, Sosara, the editor-in-chief of the magic magazine and one of the judges of the selection competition, excitedly said after hearing what Uru said, "Great, great, great! This is really something to look forward to. I will still come to Magnolia Town next year for the Fairy Tail Guild's event during the Harvest Festival."

"Well."

"I have a feeling that next year's harvest festival is going to be a lot of trouble."

Makarov craned his neck and sighed helplessly. He was puzzled as to why his guild was attracting such troublemakers.

Although Old Ma himself was no pushover when he was young, he often made President Precito furious.

The Fairy Tail Guild Leader Selection Tournament concluded successfully.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Uru, the champion of this competition, did not follow the procedure and accept the follow-up interview and photo session with editor-in-chief Sosala. After giving this opportunity to Macao, she took the medical kit to apply medicine to Ide.

As for Ido, he unsurprisingly suffered heavy injuries in his battle with Gildarts, though Gildarts was also in bad shape.

"Bear with it for a bit, Id."

At that moment, Uru was applying alcohol-soaked cotton swabs to Ide's wounds, causing Ide to wince in pain.

"On another note..."

"Uru, where did your Fairy Tail seal go?"

As Ul treated Ido's wounds, Ido subconsciously glanced at Ul's hands and noticed that they were fair and clean. The seal that Makarov had given them when they first came to Fairy Tail Guild had disappeared, which made Ido curious, so he asked Ul about it.

"oh?!"

"You mean the Fairy Tail seal?"

"Because it was too conspicuous to print on the back of my hand, I moved it to a different location."

As he spoke, Uru lifted his long sleeve, revealing a blue stamp on his left forearm.

"Huh?"

"Can the position and color of this stamp be changed at will?"

Id looked at the black stamp on the back of his left hand, then at the blue stamp on Uru's forearm, and asked curiously.

"Of course."

At this moment, Makarov, as the chairman, strolled over to Id's side and nodded.

"Then why didn't you tell us something so important when we came?"

Ide looked at Old Ma and questioned him.

"nonsense."

"When you first came to the guild, you acted as if you were 'terrified' by the members and were planning to leave as soon as possible."

"Under these circumstances, how could I possibly have the time to let you choose the color and placement of your emblem yourselves?"

"If we had followed the guild's procedures step by step, you guys probably would have run away long ago!"

"So of course, my first step is to 'lure' these promising talents into our guild... I mean, recruit them first!"

Makarov stated this emphatically.

"Well."

Id fell silent for a moment. Makarov's reasoning was sound and well-founded, and he found it difficult to refute anything.

"In short, President, I also want to change the color and position of the emblem."

Id put forward his conditions.

"You decide where you want the emblem to be printed and what color you want it to be."

Upon hearing this, Makarov promptly tossed the guild's emblem to Id, letting Id decide for himself.

In response, Id had a badge in the same color as Uru tattooed on his left forearm.

For the rest of the time, Ido and Ul chose to have some free time. They pushed the stroller and took Ultear and Erza all over the streets, buying many sweets and goods that were only sold during the Harvest Festival.

Of course, Ide and Uru also invited Eileen to come along, but Eileen declined, saying she didn't like large groups of people.

Night fell quickly.

This refers to the Fairy Tail guild's parade.

As the champion of this Fairy Tail Guild Leader Selection Tournament, Ulquiorra naturally stood at the top of the float, appearing before the townspeople of Magnolia as the face of Fairy Tail.

As for Id and Gildarts, who were covered in bandages, they were responsible for doing odd jobs behind the float.

"Ide, were you happy on your wedding day?!"

After a long silence between the two behind him, Gildarts broke the silence first, turning to look at Id without warning and asking.

"Huh?"

"Kildarts, are you serious?"

Id asked Gildarts.

"Of course."

"I recently met a girl who made me want to marry her."

Gildarts explained hesitantly.

"Marriage is of course a joyous occasion. Wishing you happiness and a blissful life, Kyldas."

Id chuckled softly and offered his blessings to Gildarts.

"Thank you for your kind words."

Gildarts' lips curled up slightly, as if he had made a decision.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At that moment, fireworks shot into the sky one after another, dispelling the darkness! Meanwhile, Makarov, the guild master of Fairy Tail, had somehow appeared at the very top of the float. He pointed his right index finger toward the sky and proclaimed, "Fairy Tail will always be here!"

Even if they are not here, even if they are far apart, all the members of the Fairy Tail Mage Guild will be connected in spirit, protecting each other forever.

These are the mages of the Fairy Tail guild; they're all like family.

The back mountain.

"boring."

Ms. Porusica looked at the greeting cards and gifts presented by Id and the others, a slight smile playing on her lips, and shook her head.

Inside the flower shop.

Eileen gazed at the fireworks illuminating the night sky, a slight smile playing on her lips: "So beautiful."
