Chapter 27: Ch 27 : Mission Accomplished
"Ah, it's finally over!" Natsu raised both hands in the air, a big smile on his face as he cheered.
"Seriously... I was still worrying about what to do next."
"With this, we've officially completed an S-Class mission!"
"Maybe we can even go up to the second floor now!" Thinking about the significance of stepping onto the second floor of Fairy Tail, even Lucy's face lit up with excitement.
Seeing Natsu and the others celebrating as if everything was already settled, a mischievous smile appeared on Noel's lips.
He finally spoke, "Natsu, Lucy, have you forgotten what the actual objective of this S-Class mission was? The real goal was to save the villagers who had been turned into demons, right?"
"Eh?"
"The S-Class mission isn't complete yet. And actually, from the very start, your assumptions were wrong."
"What do you mean?" Natsu, Lucy, and Gray all looked puzzled.
Noel chuckled and said, "Did you really think that the villagers on this island turned into demons because of the curse of Moon Drip and Deliora?"
"Huh? Wasn't that the case?" The three of them gasped in shock.
