Chapter 123: Oración Seis (3)
~Silva K. POV~
The most powerful dark guild Ballam Alliance where in one corner is the dark guild the Oración Seis.
There are only six members, but rumors have it they are incredibly strong powerful wizards. At the regional regular meeting, it was decided we'd take Oración Seis down.
So, we created an alliance of four guilds to accomplish this. Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, Cait Shelter, and us Fairy Tail.

Heading to our destination I took the chance to view the forest enjoying the wilderness of the outside ignoring Natsu's groaning.
<Observe >.
[Location: Worth Woodsea
Description: Worth Woodsea is in the north-eastern part of Fiore. Worth Woodsea is a large forest where Nirvana, a mighty Magic from ancient times that has the ability to turn light to darkness and vice versa, was located and sealed.
The location of Nirvana was extremely polluted because of it, and most of the plants in the forest were killed, giving the forest a dark color. An ancient city was located deep in the Worth Woodsea, where the Nirvits lived before they moved on to Nirvana. There was a cave in that city where a "Shrine of Maidens" was shouting to hear the voices of the gods.]
Enjoying the view at of the Worth Woodsea with Arifar at my side while Erza remained silent closing her eyes as Happy spoke, "Wow this certainly is a silent crowd. I wonder how strong the enemies…"
Replying to Happy's question Natsu groans in pain in a neutral tone, "Plenty strong if they only needed 6 members. Although I wonder if it's only just them we face."
Erza opens her eyes asking me directly what I meant in a confused tone, "Oh? In that case, you predict there'll be more than 6 of them?"
Closing my eyes I replied to Erza in a casual tone about what I would do if I was close to obtaining my goal using logic, "Most likely. If I were this close, I would ensure I have my minions while the main team deals with or infiltrates our group hidden in plain sight to attack one of us alone."
Erza considered my idea while expressing a serious expression on her face with her tone to match the seriousness, "Perhaps… then it would be very good if we have someone to identify them."
*Katak*
*Katak*
Erza contemplates my idea Natsu groans in pain from his motion sickness moaning, "Ahh… Come on… I mean aren't… we there yet…?"
Viewing Natsu's helplessness I suddenly remembered something I really should've done when I got the Hakobe Ice.
Immediately taking out the Hakobe Ice using my <Cryokinesis > to reshape the ice catching Erza's attention and asked in curiosity, "Hmm…? Seems like you're doing something with the ice. What exactly are you doing?"
Reshaping the Hakobe Ice into a necklace the ice that never melts around Natsu's neck underneath his scarf sheepishly apologizing, "Whoops? Sorry, I meant to give this to you once I heard you have motion sickness. I learned that Hakobe Ice has healing properties on its own curing minor diseases such as motion sickness."
*Shiii*
Suddenly Natsu jolts up as the ice around him works like a charm sitting up right with surprise on his face witnessing a miracle, "What the hell!!! I'm not even getting motion sickness!!! Are you god?!!"
Erza's eyes widen in surprise nodding at my actions commenting Natsu's motion sickness is being cured, "Impressive! At least with this Natsu won't have any issues with his weakness to motor vehicles."
Feeling relieved as to no longer deal with his motion sickness again Natsu suddenly asked a smart question at me, "Wait a second… if you had this why didn't you give this to me earlier man?!!"
Rubbing the back of my head nervously I replied to him the reason that I forgot about it after the events of Phantom Lord, "Hahaha… funny story about that…. I was planning to give this to you when I heard about your motion sickness but I forgot about it once Phantom Lord striked. I apologize that got to amount to something right…?"
Natsu merely had his face twitch getting ready to rant before taking a deep breath and sighing letting the subject go, "Fine… considering you solved my lifelong enemy problem of rides I'll let it go. At least this stuff won't melt right?"
Nodding at that I responded that Hakobe Ice won't melt even from his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic in a confident tone, "Yup. Hakobe Ice won't melt not even from your Fire Magic. Nearly invincible even so have no worries going all out or damaging it."
Natsu looked at his new ice-made necklace with newfound sentiment thanking me for the Hakobe Ice, "Really man?!! Thanks! At least I won't have to worry about it breaking like everything else. It makes me all fired up!!"
*Brrr*
Happy on the other hand yelled out in worry of being replaced, "Wait did I get replaced by a block of ice!!"
*Katak*
*Katak*
Natsu comforted his partner for not abandoning him as he peeked his head over getting our attention, "Hey guys look out there! The place we all unite is coming into view!"
We all looked outside seeing the building from what I remember Erza told us this was Bob's Palace his runaway home so to speak.
Bob's palace sits directly south of the Worth Woodsea, in Fiore. This large villa seems to be located in a wood, with its mass towering over the trees surrounding it, and a large dirt road leading to its entrance.
Bob's palace is a massive, two-floor building living up to its owner's strange attitude in appearance, and seemingly consisting of a single parallelepipedal structure, from which other parts protrude on its top.
The walls are split into several, rectangular sections by a number of flat pillars protruding from the wall, which possess capitals, whose shape is reminiscent of wings, topping them where they sustain either the horizontal frames separating the first floor from the second or the highest part of the main section, adorned by battlements.
Similar battlements are also found on top of the arched entrance porch, under which sits the double door, granting access to the building, with an arched glass part topping the door, acting as a semicircular window. The facade is adorned by a number of thin, elongated windows, ending on the top in an arched part, which houses a stylized heart formed by the frame.
On the top of the building, in the center, sprouts a square tower adorned by a very large, heart-shaped rose window, with some white bas-reliefs in the form of clouds sitting below it; such structure is topped by a round dome, bearing a metal decoration yet again shaped like a heart on its top, and similar ones on the edges, sitting on golden spheres, plus more hearts on the dome itself.
Flanking such towers are two more, approximately the same height, sitting on the facades' edges, possessing roofs with arched frontal parts, and seemingly sprouting several chimneys from them. Two more towers with round domes topped by hearts are visible in the back part of the building.

The carriage that took us dropped us off here as we all began to enter inside the interior of Bob's Palace the meetup place where we find other allies.
The building's entrance gives access to an extremely large hall, complete with a mezzanine held up by square, slender pillars, adorned by many stylized hearts and topped by a balustrade, with more pillars visible on it, holding up the ceiling. The hall sports a coffered ceiling.
The first floor's walls appear to be made of bricks; they sport square columns fused with them, and their lower part is intricately adorned; here and there lamps appear from them, these consisting of a pair of spheres held up by a metal frame, and, similarly, the walls sport some large, double doors, each adorned by a large heart.
The floor consists of many large and square tiles, and the central part of it is dominated by a large, royal carpet, with its light edges adorned by a number of lined-up hearts, which goes from the entrance up the majestic staircase leading to the mezzanine, which is larger in the lower part and gets mildly smaller as it nears the mezzanine itself, with the side handrails following it and joining up with those on the mezzanine.
More heart motifs are present on the central part of the facade's inner wall. A section of one of the walls seems to house royal curtains, in front of which sit a small, round table, on which a variety of drinks are placed, and a fluffy sofa.
Makarov's friend Bob has some taste I'll give him that much.
I couldn't help but comment observing the whole entire interior as my mouth flinched commenting on it, "The decorations here give off a weird vibe. The interior has an off vibe… I can't describe it…"
Erza merely replied understanding my meaning merely nodding her head, "Well it is Bob's Palace after all."
I nodded till the lights went out…
*Kak*
The lights were out except for one area revealing 3 pretty boys announcing to us, "Members of Fairy Tail! We've been waiting for you! We are the chosen ones of Blue Pegasus! The Tri-Men!!!"
The first one to introduce himself is called Hibiki having a pretty boy aura, "I'm Hibiki of the hundred nights!"
Hibiki is a slim young man of average height with spiky, somewhat messy brownish-blond hair framing his face. He has dark eyes and noticeably long eyelashes. He wore a dark, double-breasted suit with a pair of distinctive light lines circling each sleeve and lower leg and the Blue Pegasus' symbol on its left shoulder, over a pinstriped blue shirt, closed around the neck by a darker tie, and polished dark dress shoes.
The next one to speak is named Eve another pretty boy acting cute, "I'm Eve of the Holy Nights!"
Eve is a slim, rather short boy with blonde hair kept in a neat bowl cut, with a few wayward strands covering his forehead, and others jutting upwards on top of his head; he had large dark eyes. His attire consisted of a black suit, with its sleeves and lower legs adorned by cross-like motifs outlined in a light color and its left shoulder bearing the Blue Pegasus symbol. Under it was a lilac shirt, with a darker purple tie around the neck, and polished loafers.
The last one is a dark-skinned fellow named Ren posing as he introduces himself, "I'm Ren of the Hollow Knights!"
Ren is a slim young man of average height with dark, spiky hair reaching down to his shoulders, with long strands framing his face, and a short ponytail at the back of his head. Each of his eyebrows juts upwards in a pair of thin spikes, and he's distinguished by his dark skin, a result of the Tanning Lacrima he used on himself.
Ren's attire consists of a black suit with the jacket left open, bearing the Blue Pegasus' symbol on its left shoulder, over a leopard patterned shirt, whose similarly open collar reveals a small metal necklace circling his neck, and polished, dark dress shoes.
Mavis floating nearby has a deadpan expression of annoyance at their antics, "Silva… if they you're allies you guys are boned."
Sigh…
She's not wrong – wait a second…
Hollow Knight…?!!
Hey…!
I call a copyright strike for that last remark!!!
When they were done, they tried to do their womanizer stunt getting their attention being too defensive it seems getting close to Erza, "Ahem!! Listen up members of Blue Pegasus I would really prefer if you womanizer guys lay off Erza. Where here on a mission? Not to fool around acting like simps…"
Eve and Ren took offense to be called simps while Hibiki remained levelheaded surprisingly enough.
Clearly that irked the guys yelling at me with Ren scoffing at my words, "Tch. Is it wrong to admire and tell a girl she's beautiful? And where do you get off calling us simps?"
I merely stood my ground talking to the group of womanizer men as our allies irking me a bit with their antics, "When you guys are a bunch of womanizer guys? Do you guys fall for one girl to the next like a bunch of horny dogs? What else but to be polite to call you simps than be labeled perverts."
"Silva!"
Flinching at being called out Erza scolds me with a sigh shaking her head reminding us of the purpose of being here in the first place, "While I won't disagree what you said is true. They are our allies in this mission so please reframe from antagonizing them –"
That was till another voice interjected the conversation as the Tri-Men snickered at my misfortune, "Now boys… shall we leave it at that? The young man is right after all."
And quickly Erza retracted her sentence with sweat trickling down her face from the one man that even made her shake in disgust, "—except for him."
The final member of the Blue Pegasus Guild to appear is Ichiya making the Tri-Men flinch as well with me snickering at their misfortune as he introduces himself in a confident tone, "How long has it been, Erza-san? How I've longed to see you again, my honey! This one night is all for you…!!!"
Ichiya is a short and rather stout man with a distinctively big, somewhat rectangular face, a large flat nose that always seems to be shining, and prominent cheekbones. He has dark eyes and thick eyebrows, with a pair of lines pointing towards his nose below them, plus some stubble around his mouth and a prominent chin. His orange hair was initially kept in a wavy style with many curved spikes jutting outwards, with one acting as a fringe on the left side of his face.
Ichiya's attire consisted of a white suit with elbow-long sleeves, distinctive pants ending below his knees in dark hems, adorned by the Blue Pegasus' symbol on its left shoulder, over an orange shirt covered in many dark leaf motifs, possessing sleeves reaching down below his elbows and closed around the neck by a red bow tie, and elegant light shoes paired with light socks. The left part of his chest was adorned by a large flower reminiscent of a rose, and a wide, dark belt was seen hanging over his right hip, with several flasks attached to it, containing perfumes used for Ichiya's Perfume Magic.
Erza was shivering like a leaf as the Tri-Men backed off respecting Ichiya in a bow followed in a respectful tone, "So you were Ichiya's-sama girlfriend… we beg your pardon for our rude assumptions."
Erza quickly denied any such claims with me present paling at the idea that somehow, I would make that conclusion, "I deny it with all my being!!!"
Natsu finally makes a comment just weirded out by the whole thing asking Happy in a confused tone, "Okay… I'm like so lost in what's happening right now. Happy you understand what's going on?"
He merely shrugged off what was going on.
Sigh…
<Observe >.
[Ichiya Lv.200 S-Class Wizard]
What?
Blinking somewhat surprised wasn't Ichiya the imposter in the beginning or was I misremembering the order of events here…?
As things were going Ichiya tried to get closer to us by smelling us while I couldn't help myself as he tried to smell Erza unconsciously knocking him away, "Didn't I say we don't have time to fool around!!"
*BAM*
"Meeeeen~~"
Crap.
I accidentally punched him intentionally before quickly apologizing and antagonizing them at the same time, "Crap… sorry I really didn't like the creep trying to get close to Erza's personal space or smell her. Personal space womanizing simp pig."
"Womanizing simp pig?!!"
Seeing a fight was about to go down Erza didn't say anything about knocking Ichiya away thanking me instead while correcting herself first, "Oh, sweet lord I wasn't the one to cause a fight – Uh… Ahem! I mean thank you for knocking him away Silva. He really was getting close to my personal space. Right…"
Don't think I didn't miss that you didn't cause something first with me Erza!!
*Gratch*
Before things get any worse the members of Lamia Scale finally arrived freezing Ichiya's head first speaking in a cold tone, "You do all go out with the greetings, don't you? Attacking Lamia Scale? I'll take you head on."
Lyon just joined the party.
