Chapter 77

"What?! Laxus actually quit the membership?" Raphael's exclamation sounded from the ruins of the guild... He had destroyed the guild, and he had to rebuild it painfully.

But fortunately, due to today's harvest festival, there are many skilled craftsmen in various places, so there is no need to worry about manpower helping. I just follow the design drawing given by Makarov...

Okay, the private money is gone...

He was feeling sorry for his little money, but when he heard the news that Laxus had withdrawn from the membership, he felt even more sad because his hair... was chopped off by Laxus!

"No!!!" Raphael touched his slippery bald head and fell limply to the ground. He had no chance to take revenge!

"Huh? It's snowing?" Mirajane, who hurried over to tell Raphael the news, looked at the sky in confusion, as if there was a nice yet sad music playing in her ears.

Mirajane shook her head and quickly pulled up Raphael: "Okay, okay, let's get ready for tonight's magical parade!"

In the woods next to the town of Magnolia, Raphael wanted to find Laxus who was saying goodbye to the Evergreen trio.

"What? Why are you quitting! Didn't the people in the guild forgive you?" Evergreen was particularly excited when he learned the news that Laxus was quitting the guild.

"Yes, yes, if you leave, what will we do? What will happen to the Thunder Gods?!" Bickslow kept asking Laxus excitedly.

Only Freed looked at Laxus with an ugly expression: "Have you decided? Is there no other choice?"

Laxus looked at the excited and anxious three people, and a warm current flashed in his heart. He always thought that he was lonely, and no one would agree with him, but now he discovered that he was not alone all the time. He had already had the opportunity. Partners who are worried about him.

Laxus looked at them and smiled. Evergreen and the others were stunned. This was the first time they saw Laxus smile.

"You guys, you are so long-winded, why don't you just say [goodbye]!" Laxus said this to them with a smile, turned around, picked up his luggage and left.

"Take care!"

Looking at Laxus' back that seemed to be filled with sunshine, Freed also smiled, waved his hand at Laxus and shouted loudly: "Laxus! We will meet again!"

Seeing Laxus raising his hand with his back to them, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, staring blankly at Laxus's disappearing back.

Time soon came to night. The conflicts in the morning did not affect the liveliness of the evening at all. The streets of Magnolia were filled with people. Everyone happily took to the streets and participated in the [Fantasia] parade excitedly.

As the fireworks and firecrackers set off, Fairy Tail's float slowly drove towards the crowd.

The tourists tacitly retreated to the eaves on both sides, leaving a space in the middle for the float to pass.

Wakaba, who was walking in front, blew out cute smoke ghosts one after another into the sky, followed closely by Macao's love flame.

Then there is Cana's rotating card, with stars shining on it!

On the first float, Lucy, Levy and Evergreen were dancing cheerleading. Their beautiful, sunny and agile dance attracted cheers from everyone below, and one of the men wearing a hood smiled even more happily.

In the next float, Elfman stood with his whole body receiving the Beast King.

Behind him was a huge rose.

The petals of the rose were flying one after another.

Mirajane appeared in the center of the petals, above their heads.

It was Lisanna who turned into a blue bird, flying in the sky with a magic flash stick in its mouth, scattering pieces of light.

"Mira!"

"Miss Mirajane!"

Everyone under the float began to cheer.

Suddenly, Mirajane instantly transformed into a thick and huge snake with a ponytail tied on its head.

Elfman was instantly frightened, and Lisanna also transformed into a green snake and Mirajane.

The snakes they turned into were entangled together, but poor Elfman was caught in the middle and his soul almost flew out.

Following closely behind was an ice castle float. Gray and Juvia were dressed in princess and prince costumes. Juvia looked at Gray with a smile, twirled and waved her hands, and a stream of water rose up and swam around the castle. .

Gray touched his hands together to activate the magic of ice, causing the water to condense, making the already beautiful ice and snow castle even more beautiful.

Laxus, who was watching from the sidelines, had a glint in his eyes.

Then there was a float full of flowers. Erza put on the armor of family and controlled the swords around her to dance with her.

"Elf Queen Erza! I've been waiting for a long time!"

"Little Ellu is the best!"

"My sister is the most beautiful!"

The people under the float began to scream loudly. As the crowd cheered, Erza changed into a dancing girl costume and performed a knife dance with two exquisite magic knives in her hands.

Then Natsu looked up to the sky and sprayed out flames, and Happy was spinning and flying in the flames. As the shape of the flames continued to change, Happy also had a great time, and finally formed the enduring symbol of Fairy Tail.

Following Natsu was Raphael, who was wearing the same coat as the general next door. His float was filled with fireworks and shells.

He threw them into the sky one after another, and then a Raphael appeared in front of each cannonball at the same time. As the cannonball fireworks sounded, the dense afterimages of Raphael in the sky also turned into beautiful spots as the fireworks bloomed. .

"Raphael!!!"

The people in the audience were excited and made waves of sound, as if they were going to overthrow the entire Magnolia Town!

"Why is Master Raphael so bald?"

"What the hell, he's even more handsome when he's bald!!!"

Listening to the discussion of the people in front of him, Laxus immediately covered his mouth and gloated.

"Look, look, it will grow!"

"Hahaha, the president is so cute!"

Listening to the cheers and laughter of passers-by, Laxus quickly raised his head and looked at the last float.

Makarov wore a clown suit and twisted around on the float like an elf, making everyone laugh.

[Grandpa won't participate? What should I do if I can't see where grandpa is? ]

[Then let me make this gesture! This means that even if I can't see grandpa, I will still be watching you from a distance! ]

Laxus thought of the first time he participated in the Harvest Festival. Looking at Makarov in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head, smiled, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Look! Fairy Tail's exclusive hand gesture!"

The cheers from passers-by made Laxus turn his head to look at the float in surprise.

I saw everyone in the parade guild all stretched out their hands, with the backs of their hands facing forward, their thumbs and index fingers stretched out, and their index pointing upward.

And Makarov stood at the highest point of the float, stretching his arms straightest!

"Grandpa..." Laxus's eyes were moist, and looking at his grandfather's firm expression, he finally couldn't help but shed tears.

Even if I can't see your figure,

Even if the distance is too far,

I will always be,

always looking at you,

Always protecting you!
