Fighting through pirates with Fairy Tail

Chapter 38 Harvest Festival and Selection of Commanders!

Time flies.

Nine months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The year is April of X765.

Because the Kingdom of Fiore is located in the warm western region of the continent of Ishgar, which is the opposite of the Kingdom of Ishgar, which is located in the extremely cold eastern region of the continent.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Fiore remains warm in October.

However, despite the warm weather, the citizens of the port city of Harujón were wearing cotton-padded clothes.

The reason was that, contrary to normal, a blizzard had begun to fall in Harujion.

The once bustling port was now covered in ice and snow.

At the same time, an enormous octopus-like monster, over a hundred meters long, was covered in ice and froze to death on the port.

"It's so cold."

"As expected, it's that 'Ice' couple from the Fairy Tail guild again, isn't it?"

Beneath the octopus monster, the Magic Council member responsible for collecting the corpse looked at the enormous and intact octopus monster, which resembled a small mountain, and asked the captain of the anti-monster special forces beside him while trembling.

"Yes, Your Excellency, that is indeed the case."

"This is the fiftieth freezing event this year."

"The Ice Mage couple from Fairy Tail guild are very efficient."

"Whether it's dealing with magical beasts or the mages of the Dark Guild, it's an instant kill."

"Every time our council members arrive, they see this enormous ice sculpture, which is why the council specifically established a melting team to deal with ice sculptures."

The commando captain answered truthfully.

"Yeah?"

"By the way, has any of you seen that couple?"

After thinking for a moment, the senator continued to ask,

"Well."

"Because the 'Frost' couple is so efficient, almost always killing in an instant, no one has ever seen their true faces."

"However, when we were thawing the Dark Guild Magisters who had been frozen by that couple, we heard some rumors about them from the survivors."

"It is said that the husband of that couple was ten feet tall, with horns on his head, a blue face, and fangs, as terrifying as a demon! The wife of the couple was no better."

After thinking for a moment, the special forces captain explained.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the councilor remained silent for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "Is that even human? It's practically a monster!"

"There are indeed rumors that the 'Frost' couple were actually transformed from magical beasts."

"In short, there are all sorts of rumors circulating outside, all kinds of things."

"But one thing we can be sure of is that the couple's strength is overwhelming."

The commando captain answered truthfully.

"..."

The councilor, who was initially interested in the "Fairy Tail" couple, gradually lost interest after the Special Forces captain explained things to him.

at the same time.

Magnolia town.

"A harvest festival?!"

The couple, Ido and Uru, who were rumored to be monsters, were enjoying a festival within the guild.

"That's right!"

"October 6th every year is the most important festival in the town of Magnolia, a festival to celebrate the year's harvest."

"Of course, as the only permanent mage guild in town, Fairy Tail must also celebrate the festival with the townspeople on this day."

"As per tradition, we will hold a grand parade of floats on this day."

Makarov sat at the bar, explaining the Harvest Festival to Ido and Uru.

"Huh?"

"It looks like something really interesting."

"It's very similar to the Ice Crystal Festival of the Kingdom of Islam."

After hearing about the harvest festival from Makarov, Id said with a smile.

"Indeed."

Uru stood beside Id and nodded slightly.

"Anyway, enjoy yourselves on the day of the harvest festival!"

Makarov crossed his arms in front of him and said this.

"That's something to look forward to!"

Idris smiled and nodded.

And so.

The date is October 6th, the day of the harvest festival.

As one of the rare open days for the Fairy Tail guild, the townspeople are free to visit the guild on this day.

Meanwhile, a grand event was also taking place within the Fairy Tail guild.

"Fairy Tail Beauty Contest? A male version?"

Id stared at the flyer in his hand, lost in thought.

"That's right."

"Our Fairy Tail guild holds some fun activities every year during the Harvest Festival."

"Last year it was a beauty pageant for women, this year it's a contest to choose the best man."

"Next year it might be an arm wrestling tournament, a dodgeball tournament, a fighting tournament, or something like that."

Wakaba, with a cigar dangling from his mouth, explained to Id while puffing out smoke.

"No."

"What I mean is, is there really any need for this competition anymore?"

"Haven't I already decided on the championship?"

In response, Id interrupted Wakaba's speech and said seriously.

"Huh?"

Wakaba was stunned for a moment. He admitted that Id was indeed very handsome, but such shamelessness was rare.

"What do you mean by 'you've already decided on me,' Id?"

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that."

Gildarts appeared beside Id at some point and said in a deep voice.

"ha?"

"If we're just talking about looks, Gildarts, you're not as good-looking as me, are you?"

Id glanced at Gildarts's unkempt appearance and said with unusual confidence.

"That's why."

"As long as I punch you in the face before the match even starts, the winner will be mine."

Gildarts did not refute Id's words; he clenched his fist and said confidently.

"As if you could beat me in a fight?"

As Id spoke, he began to crack his fingers, making a crisp "crack, crack" sound.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

"We'll find out once we try."

As soon as Gildarts finished speaking, he charged straight at Id.

"boom!"

The next second, a burst of violent magic erupted between Ido and Gildarts, and the two began a duel right there in the guild, oblivious to everyone else, causing tables and chairs to fly everywhere.

"Id, Gildarts!"

"Stop fighting!"

"My guild!"

As Makarov, the chairman, looked at the tables and chairs that had been shattered in the fight between Id and Gildarts, he shed tears of anguish.

the other side.

Because Id and Gildarts started their own fighting tournament, the selection of the best coach lost two candidates for the championship.

"Could it be that I can seize this opportunity to win the championship?"

In response, Marcao, the third seed, smiled and seemed to see the championship beckoning to him.

"What are you thinking about?!"

"How could I possibly let you win the championship?"

Just as Marcao was about to pop the champagne at halftime, Uru, dressed in a smart suit and sporting a neat short haircut, walked onto the selection stage and winked at the audience and judges.

Yes, the dashing Uru is a hit with both men and women.
