105 Chapter 105: Heading Back
After having some fun, the trio left the room to meet up with the others. They'd already packed up their stuff for leaving, which Natsu gladly stored inside his [Requip] inventory.
When they arrived at the lounge area, they saw the remaining gangs looking at their direction with annoyed expressions. The hotel staff was also looking at them with flushed faces.
"Hello everyone! Did you all have a good night yesterday?" Natsu greeted them cheerfully, forgetting about all the noises he made during his night with Erza. Now, just about everyone in the hotel knew what'd happened inside his room last night.
"How can you be so shameless, Natsu? How can I sleep properly while you and Erza were making such loud noises last night." Lucy replied to him with narrowed eyes, visible dark spots hanging under them.
"Tch... I had to plug my ears with earplugs after listening to all your moans and grunts. Can't you two control your volume while fucking." Gray said with an irate expression. He didn't want to admit that he'd been aroused while listening to their loud antics last night.
"Gray!! Language!" Erza reprimanded Gray with a glare.
"Tch..." Gray clicked his tongue and turned around, not wishing to receive the demon's wrath.
"Uh-hmmm, I didn't know that Natsu-sama and Erza-san were like that as well. I wish to join Natsu-sama in the bed as well," Kagura muttered with a low voice. Her face got completely red from the shame.
"Uwa, I'm so envious! I also want Natsu-sama to do all those things for me. I'm so envious of Erza-san and Mira-san." Juvia shamelessly shouted her wishes out, making everyone roll their eyes at her. Couldn't she at least pretend to hesitate while saying such things out loud?
"I feel bad for you, Simon. It's a pity that Erza-san is already taken." Sho patted Simon's shoulder, giving him a look full of pity. He knew Simon loved Erza since childhood, but it looked like she was already taken.
"Don't worry, I got over my crush last night. Seeing her happy with her guildmates made me realize that I couldn't provide her such warmth. Besides, I could never replace the position of the 'Salamander' in her life," Simon spoke with a resigned sigh. He was pretty uncomfortable listening to his childhood crush have sex with another guy, but at least he could give up on her if her lover is a guy like 'Salamander'. He felt inferior compared to the 'Dragon Slayer'.
"Meow, yeah, she sounded so happy last night. I didn't know Erza-chan could make such erotic sounds. It kind of made me feel a bit hot, to be honest, hehe..." Millianna spoke with a dirty look on her face. She felt quite a bit of arousal while listening to their hot sexual encounter last night.
"Yeah, 'Salamander' was dandy last night," Wally said with a nod. He could wholeheartedly agree that 'Salamander' was a wild guy hearing all those noises. He felt happy for Erza to have 'Salamander' as her lover.
"Ahem! Alright, I know you guys have a lot to talk about, but you can do it later. Our time here is over. Let's leave the resort and quickly head back to the guild." Erza was pretty ashamed after hearing all their conversations, so she quickly tried to change the subject. She wanted to leave the resort as soon as possible so as to not be constantly reminded of her perverted night.
"Hehe, I can't wait to tell everyone back at the guild about you Erza." Mira teased her with a sly smile. She couldn't miss an opportunity to poke fun at the red-haired knight.
"You!!" Erza turned around and gave Mira an angry look to which the white-haired take-over mage returned with a sly smirk. Everyone smiled after watching their antics before they left the hotel.

"So what do you guys want to do now? Now that you finally have the freedom, you can do whatever you want, but don't go down the dark path, or I'll have to hunt you down myself."
Erza asked her childhood friends while walking toward the train station. Everybody gave them some private space for conversation by backing away.
"Don't worry, Erza-chan, we won't become dark mages. To be honest, I have no idea what to do now that we are free from that island." Milianna answered with a sheepish smile. She didn't know what to do after gaining her freedom.
"Yeah, we've never really thought about what to do after we're free," Wally said, agreeing with Milianna.
"Now that there's no one giving us any orders regarding what we must do, we're kinda lost." Sho also agreed with the duo. He also didn't have any plans.
"Then, why don't you guys join my guild? It's a pretty chaotic place, but everyone will treat you like a family. Besides, I'd be glad to have you join my family." Erza said, giving them the invitation to join 'Fairy Tail'. She wanted her childhood friend to join her new family so that she could take care of them.
The ex-slave mages looked at each other and silently communicated through their eyes. They all nodded and reached a conclusion.
"Thanks for your offer, Erza, but we'll have to refuse," Wally said, rejecting her proposal.
"Why?? Are you unsatisfied with something, if so, then please tell me." Erza asked with a disappointed expression. She didn't expect them to reject her proposal.
"It's not like that at all, Erza-nee. Now that we're all finally free, we all want to live out the rest of our lives however we desire. We all want to explore the world out there first then settle somewhere nice afterward." Sho said, explaining their reasons for refusal.
'We don't want to make you remember all the bad memories by seeing us with your new family.' All of them thought with a bitter smile.
"That's right! That's a dandy way to live." Wally agreed to him enthusiastically. He wanted to show her that they didn't need any help.
"Meow! I agree with him as well as Erza. I want to explore the world." Milianna also agreed.
"What about your Simon? Don't you want to spend more time with your sister as well?" Erza looked at Simon and asked him. She knew he wouldn't abandon his sister after their reunion.
"I'm leaving as well, Erza. I know Kagura is happy in your guild. Besides, it's not like I won't ever meet her again. I'll visit her from time to time, so you don't have to worry about us. I've already discussed this with her, and she agreed to my idea." Simon also agreed to their idea. He especially didn't want to see his childhood crush get lovey-dovey with her lover every day. That would be a nightmare for him.
"Sigh! If you say so. I wanted to help you guys adjust to your new lifestyle, but I guess my help was unneeded. Anyway, no matter where you go, promise me that you'll live your life happily. Don't forget to contact me whenever you're in a dilemma. It's the least I could do for you guys," Erza sighed tiredly and accepted their desire. She didn't want to restrict her childhood friend if they're going to explore the world.
"We will! Thanks, Erza/san/nee/chan!" All of them shouted out loud, agreeing to her demands.
And like that, they separated from the Fairy Tail group going on their new adventure in their lives. The ex-slaves were finally able to live their lives to their liking.
The 'Fairy Tail' guild gave them a warm farewell on their new journey. Erza and Kagura especially looked at their departing figures with fond smiles.
(A/N: What's up people! I'm back again with another chapter. Thankfully, I'm fully cured now. Sorry for not updating for the past few days. I'll slowly resume my daily upload schedule. Thanks for all the patrons that still stayed with me.)
