Chapter 52 Destroying the Moon
That was the end of Deliora's story.
In a sense, this S-level commission has been resolved.
That's what Lucy and Natsu thought.
As for Gray, he didn't have much energy to devote to this at the moment.
Whether it's Deliora's matter or his senior brother Leo's matter, these are things that require his attention.
But people's joys and sorrows are not shared.
Natsu and Lucy were extremely excited at this moment.
After all, they had completed an S-level mission, which was of great significance to them.
For Natsu, resolving an S-class commission means he has the ability to handle S-class commissions.
This is very important to him.
Because this means he is qualified to become an S-class mage.
The so-called S-class mage is not actually a traditional title.
Therefore, there are no other hierarchical classifications of mages such as A, B, C, D, etc. within the guild.
In short, after receiving a commission from an external party, the guild will assess the difficulty of the commission.
The most representative aspect is the amount of compensation.
This is also one of the criteria for classifying difficulty.
After all, no one's money comes from thin air, and no one would pay an extremely high reward for a small commission.
Therefore, the compensation can also represent the difficulty of the commission to some extent.
With the addition of other criteria, those extremely difficult commissions were selected.
The reason for singled out this is, of course, to prevent those reckless youngsters from going into danger and causing unnecessary casualties.
These selected commissions are usually handed over by the guild master to a mage he approves of.
In Fairy Tail, these selected mages are known as S-class mages.
Those commissions that are selected are called S-level commissions.
This kind of division actually exists in every guild.
It's just that everyone has different standards.
Even the names are different.
For example, the four elements that are famous in Phantom Lord.
They are actually S-rank mages from Phantom Lord, it's just that Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail use different names for these people within their respective guilds.
Therefore, gaining the approval of the guild leader is very important for any mage in a guild.
Like Natsu, he had long wanted to take on S-class commissions.
This commission was, in his mind, the best way to prove himself.
It's not about gaining the chairman's trust and then being qualified to execute S-level commissions.
Instead, they gain the chairman's trust by completing S-level commissions.
This kind of upside-down approach is truly typical of Natsu.
As for Lucy?
She initially refused to come along when she learned of Natsu's actions.
After all, this kind of behavior is prohibited by the guild, and his partner, Shirou Kotomine, has not yet returned.
But upon seeing the key to the Zodiac Palace that the commission had been given, Lucy was immediately bewitched and obediently followed Natsu.
After all, the keys to the Zodiac are incredibly attractive to Celestial Spirit Mages.
That's why Lucy was so excited when the commission was completed, meaning she had obtained the key to the zodiac.
"You two would be better off not getting so excited."
Kotomine Shirou suggested with a light laugh.
"Our commission isn't finished yet."
"Don't forget, the village chief and the others gave us a task: to destroy the moon!"
Upon hearing this, Natsu and Lucy both looked at Kotomine Shirou with eyes that seemed to be looking at an idiot.
"Are you an idiot? How could the moon possibly be destroyed!"
"You guys are the idiots!"
"I said through gritted teeth," said Shirou Kotomine.
"I know what you're thinking. You believe that the reason those villagers have become like this is because of the influence of the Moon Drops, right?"
"So you think that as long as Leo and the others stop performing the Moon Drop ritual, the problem will be solved, right?"
"But unfortunately, that's not the truth. Putting everything else aside, why didn't anything happen to Leo and the mages who initiated the ritual, who were also within the influence range of the Moon's remnants and even closer to it?"
After saying that, Shirou Kotomine looked at Lucy and Natsu with a contemptuous gaze.
This is to repay the two people for looking at him like a fool.
"what!"
Lucy and Natsu were immediately stunned.
The two carefully considered Kotomine Shirou's words but found no problem whatsoever.
So, the two of them could no longer laugh.
This suggests that the villagers on the island were transformed into demons by other factors, rather than the influence of the Moon Drops.
Then all their previous efforts were in vain.
"ah!!!"
"What's going on?! What happened?!"
"Does the only solution really have to destroy the moon?"
Clutching her head, Lucy shook it frantically.
As for Natsu, his brain had completely shut down.
Seeing the desperate and frantic expressions on their faces, Shirou Kotomine's lips curled up slightly.
Kotomine Shirou suddenly felt that his mood had become more cheerful.
"Wait, Shirou, you must have a way!"
Suddenly, Lucy noticed that Shirou Kotomine was chuckling and immediately grabbed his clothes, loudly questioning him.
"I do have an idea in mind, but I think Erza has probably already come to her answer, right?"
Lucy and Natsu immediately looked at Erza.
Erza nodded.
"What method is it?!"
Lucy asked quickly.
So, Shirou Kotomine and Erza exchanged a glance and then said in unison, "Of course, we should destroy the moon!"
"Huh!? Destroy the moon!"
.
After settling things at the temple, Shirou Kotomine and his companions returned to the village of the person who had made the request.
Gray had already returned to normal by the time he got back on the road.
With his inner knot completely untied, he felt incredibly relaxed.
However, he soon became distressed again, this time naturally because of the commission.
After hearing Lucy and Natsu recount what had happened, he was now extremely puzzled about the situation on the island.
There was also a statement from Shirou Kotomine and Erza about preparing to destroy the moon.
When they returned to the village, they were surprised to find that the village, which had been completely destroyed before Shirou Kotomine and his group arrived, had been restored to its original state.
Nobody knows why.
Apart from Natsu and Shirou Kotomine.
Shirou Kotomine knew very well that this was done by Ultear.
Only someone capable of manipulating time magic could do something like this.
As for Natsu? He already knew about the old man Ultear was disguised as during their battle.
The time it takes for an object to flow backwards.
The temple he had previously destroyed was restored to its original state through Ultear's magic.
So he guessed it too.
"Does the fact that the village has been restored mean that our belongings have been restored too?"
Thinking of this, Lucy immediately ran towards her previous room to confirm the matter.
She became even happier after discovering that her luggage was also intact.
Her only loss had now vanished.
Then, they gathered in the village square and began to fulfill the villagers' requests.
"It's time to destroy the moon!"
"Kōtei Shirō said loudly."
