222. The Fairies' Grieve

Doranbolt explains what happened on Tenrou Island from his point of view when that happened to Porlyusica. The old woman is really shocked and she gets very angry at the Magic Council fleet that didn't do anything but watched.

Her cold demeanor disappears and she starts to cry. She has lost her good friend Makarov and some precious young Mages. Even though she always said that she hates humans and said they are stupid, that doesn't mean she doesn't love those who are close to her.

She starts to hit Doranbolt while shouting angrily at him and crying. The other council members want to stop her but Doranbolt stops them. He was someone who hated Fairy Tail, the troublemaker guild. But he never wanted to kill them so he feels very guilty now.

Purlyusica rants for a rather long time before she chases away the Council members. She doesn't want to see them anymore and they do as she said. They return to their airship and leave the forest.

The old woman returns to her house to check on the 3 again. Then sometime later, she hears a commotion in front of her house. She sighs and comes out to see every Fairy Tail Mage who was in Magnolia. They have been told by the Council about the incident and rushed here immediately.

"SILENT, YOU RUFFIANS! CAN'T YOU GIVE THE PATIENTS SOME PEACE?" shouts Porlyusica.

Everyone gets silent and Macao asks with a look of worry, "H-How are they?"

"I won't say that they are fine, but at least they won't die now. Mira & Bella will be fine after some treatments, but I can't say anything about Ben. His condition is really bad that I can only think of his survival as a miracle," says Porlyusica.

They all are relieved at first but get concerned again after hearing about Ben.

"Is it really that bad?" asks Alzack.

Porlyusica nods and says, "It is. He broke almost all the bones in his body, a lot of his muscle fibers were torn, many of his internal organs were damaged, and I won't say anything about his skin. He came here with blood all over his body that I couldn't even recognize him. That's how bad his condition was."

"I could only give him basic treatment so that he won't die for now. He will need a lot of treatment and I don't know when he will wake up. I don't even know if he will ever wake up again. Even now, I still can't understand how he can survive with all those injuries. I can guarantee you that Mira & Bella will be healed. But you guys can only pray for Ben while I will do my best to help him," explains Porlyusica.

The Fairy Tail Mages are very shocked to hear her explanation. Ben's injuries are enough to kill anyone but he managed to survive. It made them relieved to know that Ben survived, but they are very sad that he has a low chance to get healed or even surviving his injuries.

"Mrs. Porlyusica, we will do anything to help. So if you need everything, just tell us, and we will do our best to help. It is bad enough that we've lost Master and the others, so we can't lose anyone again," says Macao with tears on his face.

The others also finally cry now. This incident is so sudden that they can't even cry yet. They were also still in disbelief, but they finally realize that it was the truth and it really breaks their hearts. They've lost their guildmates, their friends who are dear to them.

Porlyusica let them cry until they are satisfied and calm down. They want to see Ben, Mira, & Bella, but Porlyusica only allows some of them. Only Macao, Wakaba, Alzack, & Bisca are allowed to see the 3 right now and they agree.

Sometime later, the 4 of them returned with very shocked expressions. Ben's condition really shocked them because it is worse than they thought. Even though his external wounds have been closed, they still can see that his condition is really grave.

The Mages then leave to not disturb the patients and Porlyusica. They return to their guild building with sad expressions, very different from their usual cheerful faces. Their world has just been turned upside down in a day, after all.

Inside the treehouse, Porlyusica also grieves by herself. She has befriended Makarov for decades and they are close. They can be said to be best friends and she has just lost that best friend, so she is very sad now.

"We've gone through a lot and have lost many friends so far. But I never thought that I will lose you this fast. How can you die too, stupid Makarov? You still haven't fulfilled all your promises," says Porlyusica with tears on her face.

Everyone in Fairy Tail is grieving and they don't do anything that day. The next day, they hold a funeral without any corpses. They just hold a ceremony and engrave the names on a stone monument behind the guild building.

After that, no one in Fairy Tail takes any job for a week. They aren't in the mood to do any job so they just stay silent. Some people finally take a job because their families need money too, so they work.

In the treehouse, Porlyusica is treating Bella right now. She has treated the 3 of them every day in different rooms and checked their condition every hour when she was awake. Mira & Bella's conditions have improved a lot in this one week, so she is relieved.

The problem is Ben who hasn't shown any improvement. Although it might be because his injuries were very bad that his improvement isn't visible. The good thing is that his condition doesn't deteriorate.

Porlyusica has re-read all her medical books and even purchased some new ones. She needs to improve her already high medical skill because it is still not enough to heal Ben. If she doesn't improve herself, then Ben might really never wake up.

Then finally, 9 days later, 16 days after the incident, Bella wakes up. 2 days after that, Mira also wakes up but she still can't move. Both of them still haven't known the current situation and Porlyusica doesn't intend to tell them yet.

She will tell them after their conditions get better because it might affect their conditions too. They will surely get shocked and it will be bad for their health. They just need to improve their health for now so Porlyusica keeps evading their questions about the incident.

The news of the girls waking up makes everyone in the guild happy. They finally get relieved a little after being tense for many days. Ben's condition still worries them though, but knowing Mira & Bella waking up is good enough for now.

Well, Ben's condition has finally improved after 16 days. It is just a small improvement, but it makes Porlyusica and the Fairies relieved. At least they can see hope now even though they don't know when Ben will wake up too.

Mira & Bella's conditions improve faster after they woke up. It's because they can consume their medicine by themselves and they can eat food again. But they are still clueless about what happened on Tenrou Island and think that everyone is treated separately.

After one more week, the 2 of them can finally stand and walk by themselves. Most of their injuries have been healed and Porlyusica predicts they will fully recover in a month. But with their health improved like this, Porlyusica knows that she won't be able to keep silent any longer, and she is right.

"Grandma Porlyusica, can I see the others now? I want to see my siblings and Ben," says Mira hopefully.

Porlyusica is silent for a moment before saying, "Sure. But let's meet Bella first."

Mira agrees and they go to Bella's room. They see Bella sitting behind the window and look outside with a sad face. She misses Ben, Mira, Wendy, and Carla because she hasn't seen them for days now.

"Bella, what are you doing there?" asks Mira while smiling.

Bella turns her head and her face beams with happiness when she sees Mira. "MIRA!"

She shouts while flying toward Mira. They hug each other and talk happily. Then Bella suddenly asks about Ben, so Mira looks at Porlyusica.

"Alright, let's see him. Prepare yourselves," says Porlyusica.

They go to Ben's room which is filled with magic runes. His bed is right in the center of the room and he is still unconscious. The girls want to approach him, but Porlyusica stops them.

"Grandma, what happens to Ben? He doesn't look good," says Mira worriedly.

Porlyusica has a sad face and says, "I will explain everything to you, so prepare your heart."
