Chapter 72 Lucy's Redemption
Chapter 72 Lucy's Redemption
"Shirou, Erza, Mirajane!"
Upon seeing the three people sitting back to back, Lucy, who was walking at the front, immediately quickened her pace.
She moved faster and faster, and finally jumped up.
Lucy lunged at Shirou Kotomine and his two companions.
"Shirou, Erza, Mirajane, I'm so sorry! I'm so grateful to have you all!"
Lucy excitedly wrapped her arms around the necks of Shirou Kotomine and the other two, holding them tightly together.
This choking embrace made the three of them quite uncomfortable.
But they cannot break free.
That would hurt Lucy.
"So, Lucy, what's wrong? What happened?"
Mirajane asked gently.
Shirou Kotomine and Erza, who were facing her, patted Lucy on the back to comfort her.
But Lucy kept saying "I'm sorry".
Seeing this, Gray, who had also come to the three of them, explained, "Actually, when the Ghost Guild Master was talking to you earlier, it seemed to have been broadcast throughout the entire guild."
"So whether it's Lucy, me, Natsu, or Elfman, we all heard your conversation."
"They might have even heard it within our guild. What a disgusting guy!"
Gray said unhappily.
"Oh, I see!"
Kotomine Shirou and the other three were enlightened.
They instantly understood what had happened.
Clearly, Joseph was toying with them and wanted to stir up trouble through this method.
However, none of the three, including Shirou Kotomine, took the matter seriously at the time.
After all, they genuinely considered Lucy a friend.
They are also willing to forgive their companions' mistakes and errors.
Besides, this wasn't Lucy's fault in the first place.
She was not her father's vassal, nor should she bear the consequences of his mistakes.
Although that's not what Lucy thought.
She took on the responsibilities of her father.
Therefore, she would be in great pain whenever she thought about the consequences she had caused.
Fortunately, Shirou Kotomine and the other two did not continue speaking as Joseph had imagined.
What they said from the bottom of their hearts was nothing short of salvation for Lucy at that time.
That's why she's so agitated right now.
"Listen up, Lucy, this has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to feel embarrassed or upset about it at all."
Erza said seriously.
"But the Phantom Lord attacked Fairy Tail because of my father."
"As a result, Levy and the others were implicated, the guild leader was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and even the guild was destroyed."
"It's all because of me!"
Lucy became more and more excited as she spoke.
At this moment, she was completely overwhelmed by guilt.
Seeing that Erza's words had no effect, Shirou Kotomine simply pulled Lucy away, then placed his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eye.
"Lucy, we all understand your guilt, but you don't need to torture yourself like this."
"Perhaps your father's request was indeed the trigger, but Phantom Lord went to such lengths ultimately because of Joseph's hatred and jealousy towards Fairy Tail."
"The mages of the Phantom Lord have been at odds with our guild members for a long time, haven't Macao and the others said that?"
"And since you overheard our conversation, you should remember what I said last!"
"We don't know Lucy, the heiress of a conglomerate. What we know is you, Lucy, who loves an adventurous life, fights alongside us regardless of danger, and is a Fairy Tail mage."
Do you understand?
"I said seriously."
The others also shared their thoughts.
Listening to everyone's words, Lucy's initial pain was gradually replaced by happiness.
Finally, with a loud cry, Lucy emerged from her self-blame.
.
After crying her heart out, Lucy calmed down.
Having recovered his physical condition, Shirou Kotomine stood up and began to treat Natsume, Elfman, and the other two.
The injuries on all three of them were also quite severe.
While Shirou Kotomine, Erza, and Mirajane were fighting Joseph at the top of the building, Natsu and the other two were also fighting hard.
Besides the ordinary mages, they also encountered extremely difficult opponents.
Natsu and Lucy faced off against the fire elemental Usagi-maru and the iron dragon Gajeel.
Gray then faced off against Juvia, the water elemental.
Elfman then faced off against the earth elemental Thor.
After a fierce battle, they were victorious one after another.
As a result, they all suffered serious injuries to varying degrees.
Although the three of them didn't say a word, Shirou Kotomine could clearly sense their state of mind.
So he took the initiative to go forward and treat them.
Compared to the three of them, Lucy was almost completely unharmed.
After all, she is a Celestial Spirit Mage, and her fighting style involves summoning Celestial Spirits.
Moreover, because the four of them were acting together, she had no chance or possibility of engaging in close combat with the other party.
As time goes by.
The joy of victory gradually swept away the shadows in everyone's hearts.
Everyone gradually returned to normal.
So, Gray and Natsu, who were undergoing treatment, started arguing again.
The reason for this was that Natsu was showing off his achievements to Gray.
Gray was naturally unconvinced.
So the two started arguing again.

The noise from their argument broke the tranquility of the place, making it noisy.
Even so, no one present spoke up to stop it.
Mirajane watched this scene with a smile.
Even Erza did not stop the two from arguing.
After experiencing the battle that brought the guild to the brink of destruction, everyone present was filled with memories of their daily lives.
Watching Natsu and Gray argue, everyone felt as if they had returned to the past.
We've returned to the time before the guild was destroyed.
Just then, the footsteps, which were much more frequent than before, gradually became clearer.
It seemed that quite a few people were rapidly making their way here.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine and the others immediately adopted a defensive stance.
This is, after all, the headquarters of the Phantom Lords. Who else could be there besides members of the Phantom Lords to encounter such a large number of people here?
Faced with this situation, even Shirou Kotomine became wary.
But as soon as the first person climbed the stairs and appeared before them, everyone's vigilance vanished without a trace.
Instead, he wore an excited expression.
"President!"
"grandfather!"
"Old man!"
The crowd shouted excitedly.
The newcomer was none other than Makarov, the guild master of Fairy Tail, who had just woken up!
Behind him, all the members of Fairy Tail who had participated in the battle also arrived.
"Everyone!"
"Everyone!"
Both sides immediately hugged their companions upon seeing them.
Then cheers resounded throughout the world.
They excitedly proclaimed that Fairy Tail had won this battle.
