Your POV:

Chapati: Well then... We've finally arrived at the final match of day 2 of the Grand Magic Games.

Juvia: Great work, Mira.

Mirajane: I feel like I've shown quite a few inappropriate sides of myself...

Gajeel: The best was at the end, though.

Laxus: Even so, this only brings us to 12 points... Y/n's team is at 20...

Gajeel: ... Fucking chariots.

Jellal: ... ...

Mirajane: What is it, Mystogan ?

Jellal: Nothing...

Gajeel: The less he speaks the better, right ?

Mirajane: Ahh, I see.

Jellal: ... 'The second day's about to end, but... What is the meaning of this ?'


Natsu: It's like the old Mira ! As I thought, she's strong !

Gray: Wasn't it supposed to be a swimsuit contest ?

Erza: But it was a swimsuit contest. I don't think there was any sort of "No hitting" rule though.

Wendy: Something feels off about what you're saying...

Lucy: Like always, no ?

"... Why do I feel like something really embarrassing happened in an alternate reality... ?"

Chapati: Today's final match... Mermaid Heel's Kagura Mikazuchi ! VS Sabertooth's Yukino Agria !!

Crowd: THIS IS ANOTHER BATTLE OF THE BEAUTIES !!

Frosch: Who do you think is going to win ?

Lector: It's obviously going to be lady Yukino ! How could you not even know that, Frosch ?!

Frosch: Fro agrees !

Orga: Since thanks to a certain someone, we didn't get any points in the competition portion...

Sting: ... Keh.

Yukino: No... Sting was just unlucky. If he had known it was going to be a competition on transport...

Sting: Putting that aside, you know what it means for you to be on this team, right ?

Yukino: To fight without bringing shame upon Sabertooth's name.. And to win without fail.

Yajima: I don't suppose there's going to be another swimsuit contest, huh ?

Chapati: Well... Personally I think that's possible too, but...

Jason: It's pointless to expect that from two cool people like this !

"Let's see if it's as expeditious as yesterday..."

Erza: watch carefully. This is the guild we must surpass.

Chapati: Everyone is already well-aware of Kaguya's strength. She is the strongest mage in mermaid Heel and presently a female mage highly favored by the Weekly Sorcerer. This is her opponent Yukino's first appearance here. However, by virtue of belonging to the strongest guild, Sabertooth, we should be able to look forward to her strength as well. LET'S START THE MATCH !!

Yukino: Pleased to meet you.

Kagura: ... I, as well.

Yukino: Um... before starting, shall we also make a "wager" ?

Kagura: My apologies, but I have no interest in that.

Yukino: Are you afraid of losing ?

Kagura: I feel no such thing. However, since in principle a wager must be carried out once it has been established... I'd like to refrain from such frivolous entertainment.

Yukino: Let's make it serious, then. Let's wager... Our lives.

Kagura: ... If that resolution is sincere, then honor dictates that I accept. Very well, come at me.

Chapati: This... This has become rather serious now...

Yajima: Hmm...

Jason: This is not cool !!

Yukino: It was your misfortune to stand before Sabertooth. Open, Gate of the Paired Fish.

Lucy: A stellar spirit mage ?!

Arcadios: 'What ?! There was another one ?! Another stellar spirit mage...'

Mavis: It's one of the 12 golden zodiac gates...

Happy: FISH !!

Yukino: Open, Gate of the Heavenly Scales, Libra !

"So she can bring out two as once, too..."

Yukino: Libra... Alter the target's gravity.

Libra: Understood.

Kagura: KU !!

Risley: She can use the same magic as me ?! That Libra... She's making Kagura's body heavier !

Yukino: Pisces.

Lector: She escaped from Libra's gravity ?! How ?!

Risley: Kagura's the one that taught me gravity transformation magic, after all. Don't look down on Kagura.

"Is it just me, or is gravity-related magic awfully common around here ?"


Yukino: Are you going to make me open it ? The 13th door...

Lucy: The 13th door ?! Is that... What she said, just now ?!

Wendy: What's wrong ?

Lucy: Like the name would suggest, the 12 golden zodiac gates have 12 keys. But I heard a rumor once... About a 13th key, for an unknown spirit hidden away from the 12 golden zodiac gates.

"Sounds interesting. I wonder if it will be relevant..."

Yukino: This is quite unlucky for you.

Kagura: I haven't relied on luck since the instant I was born. Everything has been the result of my choices. That is what leads my existence towards the future.

Yukino: Open, Gate of the Snake Charmer.

Kagura: Blade of resentment, Archenemy. Style of the undrawn long sword !

Erza: W- Without even drawing her sword...

???: If Kagura were to draw her sword, it would be a cataclysm.

Yukino: No way... ?

Kagura: You made a cheap wager. Sometimes, Mermaids can devour tigers.

Chapati: The... The... The match is over... THE VICTOR IS MERMAID HEEL'S KAGURA MIKAZUCHI !! Sabertooth... An unbelievable zero points for day 2 !!

Gray: Was the saber woman weak... Or was the Mermaid woman strong... ?

Erza: The latter. There was someone like that here, huh...

"That was a mistake of us... We focused on Sabertooth and Raven Tail, but... All other guilds must not be underestimated... Bacchus, Kagura, Jura..."


Yukino: I... I'm... The loser... Sabertooth is...

Kagura: Your life. Your life is mine, right ?

Yukino: ... yes. It's as you say...

Chapati: And with that, Day 2 of the Grand Magic Games has come to an end !

Yajima: See you tomorrow !

Jason: COOOOOOOOOLLLLL !!

Arcadios: ... 'What heavenly luck that there's another stellar spirit mage here... The plan is assured more than ever before.'

Jellal: As I though... Something's strange... Though the second day has ended... I can't sense that magic power that's felt every year...

"You said it was reminiscent of Zeref, right ? I believe I would've recognized it too if it appeared... What do you think it mean ?"

Jellal: There are several possibilities that I can think of. If you assume that it's a person, perhaps that person didn't come to Crocus this time. Another possibility is that that person is in the city, but not using magic. It could even be a participant in the Games that hasn't made an appearance yet.

"I've already checked the list of participants. The only one who've participated every 7 year are Pegasus, Lamia, Sabertooth and well, us... So apart from Sabertooth..."

Jellal: Yes. If, on the other hand, that magical energy is from some kind of device, or perhaps from a specific place... Perhaps the device isn't in operation, or there's some sort of filter that prevents the magical energy from leaking out.

"If that's the case, why would it be activated these 7 last years and inactive just this year ? Everything about this just doesn't make any sense..."

Jellal: Maybe I should take a look at things on the organizers' side, starting tomorrow ?

"You shouldn't do anything too... Conspicuous."

Jellal: I know already. Ultear gave me a spicy reminder.

"Pffr. Well, try to not stand out too much. My regards to your fiance, Jellal."

Jellal: The same goes for you.


Erza: 'They act like nothing happened... But none forgot the time they were deadly enemies... At this point, should I call it a miracle that they can work together... ?' It's getting late... has the banquet ended already ?

???: Finally found you !!

Erza: Huh ? Who is it ?

???: Ufufu... Super strong, right ?

Erza: ...

Millianna: Super strong, right ?

Erza: ... ... !!

Millianna: Erza. It's been awhile~.

Erza: Millianna !!

Millianna: I MISSED YOU !!

Erza: Ahahaha, Millianna ! You joined a guild, huh ?

Millianna: yeah, Mermaids Heel.

Erza: Are Shô and Wally in the same guild ?

Millianna: What are you talking about ? Mermaid Heel is a guild limited to women. Those three are still continuing their travels. We get in touch from time to time.

Erza: Is that right... I'm... really so happy to see you, Millianna. I'm happy you look so well... *Sniff*.

Millianna: Erza, don't cry !



Natsu: Puha ! I sure ate...

Carla: You eat too much...

Happy: I'm full too...

Wendy: is the lodging around here ?

Lucy: Yeah ! Almost there.

Wendy: is everyone in the same room ?

Lucy: This is really... the worst. Natsu snores so loudly... Gray ends up naked before you know it... Erza always crawls into Y/n's bed...

Happy: Speaking off, where are they ? Gray, Erza and Y/n ?

Carla: Poor Gray... It seems like he got snatched away by Lyon...

Lyon: Let's make everything crystal clear today, shall we ?

Juvia: Juvia want to make everything clear, too !

Gray: Uhhh...

Natsu: What about Erza and Y/n ?

Lucy: I haven't seen them, now that you mention it...

happy: Maybe they're... Fufufufu...

Carla: Huh ?

Lucy: It was Erza herself that told us not to end up alone, though...

Happy: I don't think any of them is alone... Fufu...

Natsu: Huh ? There's someone in front of our lodging...

Wendy: There really is. That person is...

Lucy: You guys have such good eyes...

Natsu: You're...

Wendy: ... Sabertooth's...

Lucy: ... Stellar spirit mage...


Millianna: I was planning to reveal myself after we had won... And give you and the others a surprise, but... Ah ! I just had to see Erza as soon as I could !!

Erza: Well, well. That aside, that one named Kagura on your side is really strong, huh...

Millianna: That's certainly true. If she got serious, she might even be stronger than you.

Erza: I'd really like to spar with her sometime...

Millianna: Who knows, maybe you'll end up matched against each other in the tournament... Ah, but there's nothing for kagura to get serious about, in the games.

Erza: Is that right ?

Millianna: That undrawn sword, "Archenemy"... You saw it, right ?

Erza: That's a disturbing name for a blade...

Millianna: As the name implies, she swore that she would only unsheathe that sword for the one opponent she absolutely must defeat. An opponent she has such hatred for, you could say it's impossible for the two of them to co-exist. The man that stole everything away from Kagura... That's a sword meant for killing Jellal.

Erza: Eh ?

Millianna: I know you feel the same way, Erza. I hate Jellal as well... He made us into slave to build his tower. Unforgivable... Unforgivable... And that's why I joined Kagura's guild.
