In the villa, the reception hall.

Bright light shines into the room, creating an image of interlaced black and white window panes on the floor.

On one side of the hall is a set of European-style tables and chairs that are mainly milky white and supplemented by gold. A dozen small and exquisite white porcelain tea cups are placed in a circle on the table, as if they are integrated with the table.

The brewed hot tea rises in white mist due to the intersection of hot and cold air, and the refreshing fragrance travels throughout the room.

This scene is very much like a medieval salon.

People from all walks of life but with similar interests gathered together in a splendidly decorated aristocratic villa, sipping tea and wine, accompanied by classical and elegant music, and started an unrestrained discussion around a current hot topic.

talk.

But... everyone in this world knows that any activity that exists among nobles or other upper-class society, once it is linked to the people of the guild "Fairy Tail", it will ruthlessly break its proper appearance.

"Lucy, your butt is too big, sit over a little bit!"

"Don't say such things in front of outsiders, Natsu!

"

"Wendy, come here, sister will hold you and sit down!"

"No... no need..."

"It seems there are not enough chairs. There is no other way. Laxus, just sit on me like this!"

"What kind of posture are you doing? Why don't you get up!"

"

"Gray! Don't take off your clothes!

"

"Aren't they both wearing very little? Since they've arrived in the Western Continent, of course they have to do as the Romans do!"

"No...there is no custom in the Western Continent of stripping naked in someone's home!"

Because there were so many people seated, it was very crowded. Almost everyone was sitting next to each other, and a few even stood by the window pretending to look at the scenery to hide their embarrassment that they had no seats.

Mavis sat on a separate chair, swaying her naked feet like a child, holding a teacup in her hand, looking at the noisy scene with a smile.

Happiness belongs to other people, and Ogast only feels noisy.

He sat expressionlessly on the seat next to Mabis, closed his eyes and lowered his head, sipping tea quietly, pretending not to see the noisy scene in the room, nor to hear the "ping-ping-ping-ping-ping" sound that reached his ears.

Peng! Pah! Poof!......

Ogast's eyebrows were furrowed, and the hands holding the ears of the porcelain cup trembled slightly. He silently advised himself: Huh... Calm down... They are just children, and they are at a lively and active age. It is normal to be a little noisy.

It doesn't matter, as long as they don't damage the furniture.

Although he doesn't care about money, these furniture are really expensive!

Brandish said that the old man Ogast had a good temper, and she was right!

"You guys, please be quiet! We are guests in other people's homes, not in the guild! Please pay attention to the reputation of 'Fairy Tail'!

"

As if she couldn't bear it anymore, Erza suddenly shouted loudly, her serious look seemed to say, "I'm going to beat you if you don't calm down."

Her roar was very effective, all the noise in the room suddenly stopped, and the air suddenly became silent.

Ogast breathed a sigh of relief, with a faint smile on his face: "This little girl is quite majestic... Speaking of which, she is somewhat similar to Irene. Is it a coincidence? But at least it was not broken.

...'

Snap!

In the silence, the sound of the porcelain cup breaking was extremely loud.

"..."

Ogast's smile froze on his face before it bloomed: Who?! Who broke my cup?! Forget about disturbing my reunion with my mother, scratching the wall and breaking the potted plant.

, you don’t have to worry about making a mess in the library, and now you’ve started smashing furniture. Do you really think that I’m old and easy to bully?

Thinking of this, Ogast was filled with anger and determined to teach these lawless brats a lesson!

As a result, when he looked up, he saw Mavis's pure, clear, innocent, and bewildered green eyes, and his anger immediately disappeared.

Mavis stared blankly at the porcelain cup that he had smashed. After a long time, he smiled awkwardly: "Yes...I'm sorry...because I was scared..."

At this moment, Ogast felt like his heart was about to melt.

What a loving smile! My mother is just like the most perfect and holy elf!

For the sake of my mother, forget about teaching the kid a lesson, we are all a family!

but!

As long as I don’t die, my mother’s only son will be me!

Thinking of this, Ogast looked at the few imps with evil eyes again.

Precito glanced at Ogast without leaving any trace, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: What's going on with this guy? In just a few seconds, his momentum has changed so many times? Is it possible for an elderly person to

So? Sure enough, maintaining good health is very important!

A few minutes later…

"I understand what you mean. Because you were worried about our safety, you took a boat to the Western Continent without permission to inquire about news. As a result, they captured you halfway through the boat. Is that right?"

Mebis' soft voice made Erza and the others feel ashamed: "Yes...I'm sorry! It's us who have embarrassed the guild!"

"It's okay...it's just that our opponents are too strong. It's not a shame to lose to them!"

Is this consolation? We haven’t read any books. Don’t lie to children!

"Kid, you lost too?" Precito looked at Laxus, who was standing by the window and pretending to be aloof, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"...Stop being so verbose!"

After explaining the reasons for her and others' actions, Erza began to care about the most important thing: "Ahem... So... First generation, what was the result of your negotiation? Did you successfully prevent them from starting a war? Yes.

Where are they?"

"Well..."

Mavis hesitated for two seconds, then looked at Olgaste with a hopeful look on his face, "I've basically succeeded here. Right, Olgaste?"

This situation is indeed a bit difficult for this 80-year-old man. On one side is his father who has a tendency to destroy the world, and on the other side is his mother who is determined to save the world. He can't stand on anyone's side.

So Ogast remained silent, looking down at the nearly bottomless cup of black tea in his hand, like a child who didn't dare to admit to his mother that he had made a mistake.

Along with the heavy and long breathing, rapid and brief ripples appeared on the dark red tea surface. After a long time, Olgaste sighed helplessly, and then said softly: "Yes..."

Dad, I'm sorry! In order to make mother happy, my son can only suffer from you.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, but Di Maria was not satisfied: "No way? Old man! Did you just decide not to fight? I'm still looking forward to the 'jihad'..."

However, before he could finish speaking, more than a dozen eyes were directed at her!

"Um... I mean, for such an important decision, should we wait until the emperor comes back before making a decision?"

Only then did everyone look back with satisfaction.

'What a risk, what a risk... Fortunately, I changed my tune quickly, otherwise these people would have eaten me...'

Demaria wiped her sweat with satisfaction. She really wanted to start a war and gallop on the battlefield, but she knew better that even if she could take advantage of the magical properties to defeat the two Erza and Galaxus,

There are more than a dozen people in the team, and as long as Mr. Olgaste speaks, she and Brandish can only obey him - who makes people strong and have high status?

"Need not!"

Ogast responded decisively, "Since the emperor has not announced the start of a 'holy war,' then we have no reason to provoke any war!"

"When you return to the royal capital next time, please make it clear to Yinbel and Yakir and ask them to immediately stop the 'overseas expedition' plan!"

In fact, in Ogast's view, this "overseas expedition" plan is completely meaningless, and its only function is to alleviate the desire to fight among the militants in the empire.
