Chapter 133: Ch 133 : Dragon and Throne
"Is that so? Even you couldn't do it?"
Upon hearing Gildarts' words, Makarov let out a sigh, unsure whether it was of relief or disappointment.
"Sorry for bringing shame to the guild."
"How could it be? As long as you've returned safely, that's all that matters." Makarov perked up and smiled at Gildarts. "As far as I know, you're the first person to come back from that mission."
Gildarts chuckled, then turned toward the guild's wall as he spoke. "I want to rest for a bit, heading home now—I'm exhausted, absolutely exhausted! Oh, right, Noel, Natsu, you two come to my place later. I've got gifts for you. Well then, I'll take my leave."
With a loud bang, under everyone's watchful eyes, Gildarts ignored the nearby door and instead walked straight through the wall, leaving a massive hole as he exited.
"Ara, ara..." Mira chuckled wryly.
"Use the door, will you?!"
"I wonder what the gift will be. I'm really looking forward to it!" Natsu said excitedly.
Mimicking Gildarts' actions, he punched the wall with his flame-covered fist, creating a large hole before walking through it. "Noel, Happy, let's go quickly!"
Noel sighed with a helpless smile, shaking his head before following through the hole Natsu had made.
