Chapter 82: Ch 82 : Deploy
"...This is the story."
Still in the Fairy Tail guild's temporary base under construction, Jet stood in front of the temporary counter, recounting the events of the mission and the experiences of their team to Makarov and the gathered guild members without missing a word.
"Is that so? You've worked hard." After hearing Jet's story, Makarov said gravely to him, then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
"Guild Master, let's go quickly and bring Noel back!"
"Yes, Guild Master! Now that we know Noel is alright, let's hurry up and go get him."
"That's right, Fairy Tail never abandons a comrade!"
Seeing Makarov deep in thought, the guild members spoke up one after another, urging him.
Makarov made a silencing gesture, and everyone immediately stopped talking.
Slowly, he spoke: "Indeed, saving Noel is something we must do, but it's not that simple. Based on what Ishu said, we are very likely to end up fighting Noel directly."
"Oh, that sounds interesting." A loud, arrogant voice rang out.
Everyone turned to see Laxus, who had somehow appeared nearby.
