(Harukin's POV)
- Fairy Tail World, x686 -
-------After the defeating the blue skull guild together, we were able to save the Magnolia Town from their clutches.
Outside the town near the lake,
"Haru... This is your fault! Because of you, Mavis's body will no longer grow and mature anymore!" Zera got angry at me.
I just accepted her anger and let her vent it at me.
"Zera, it's okay! There was no other way but for me to use that spell in order to save his daughter." Mavis tried to calm her down.
"But!"
"I'm fine... What happened wasn't because of anyone. I made that decision myself and accepted his request."
"Sorry, Mavis but I'm forever indebted to you. Just ask me if you need anything, I'll be always be there to help you." I said with serious tone and I'm willing to do anything she ask me.
"It's fine... I'm really am glad that your daughter is okay."
"Mavis... Thank you very much."
Sitting on a log together watching the lake,
"Your body, Mavis... do you feel anything uncomfortable?"
"No, Haru.. I'm perfectly fine. My growth might be halted but my health itself is as good as ever."
"I'm glad then..."
Zera was being cautious of me and was hiding behind Mavis
Looking above as I close my eyes, I felt the gentle breeze flowing around us.
"Haru?"
Mavis called me.
"Hm? What is it?"
"Zera told me that you've already live for centuries. How does it feel?"
"Hmmm... Nothing really because my wife is always by my side that I don't feel that much lonely but... seeing your acquaintances perishes with age is just that..."
Mavis glanced down and became sad.
I smiled, patting her head.
"Don't worry, I already got used it. Human lifespan is short but they all gave their farewell to me with a smile on their faces before they left me."
"Haru..."
"That's why... if ever you felt worried or lonely, just call me and I'll go and help you whenever I am... I already though of you as my friend, Mavis."
"Friends..."
"That's right, Mavis. We're already friends regardless of our ages and genders."
Mavis smiled brightly at me.
"Yes, sounds good." she became teary-eyed.
She happily nodded.
Looking at her seriously,
"And as your friend, there's something more you should know..."
"Huh?"
"It's about your friend, Zera..."
Zera came out from the back of Mavis.
"What do you want from me, Haru?" she frowned at me.
"Uhmm... what's wrong with Zera?"
Mavis was confused.
"Mavis... Others can't see Zera." I revealed.
"What?!"
Mavis was completely shock.
Zera looked down and became solemn.
"No one can see her... No one can hear her voice... She is an existence only you and I can perceive... Zera is an illusion of your own creation."
...
"Zera is... an illusion I created? What are you talking about, Haru!? She's right here with us and you're even talking with her..." Mavis holds both of Zera's hands.
"I might be able to see and talk with her but I can't feel any existence from her. She's nothing but an illusion made by you." I explained.
Mavis trembled,
"Zera?! What is Haru talking about!? You're right here!"
"Mavis..." Zera finally spoke.
"I'm sorry, I could never bring myself to say it... Seven years ago, in Tenrou Island, I died." she finally revealed.
Zera told her everything what happened and how she was created by her then she shows her arm turning transparent.
The two of them hugged each other.
"Haru wants you to move forward... And I want the same. And in order for you to move forward, I simply must go... Mavis."
"No..." Mavis cried.
"Continuesly manifesting me is putting a toll on your body. The price incurred by your casting of law isn't the only thing holding back your growth."
"I don't care about any of that! Illusion or not, Zera will always be Zera! I..."
"Mavis..."
"I don't want you to leave, Zera!"
*Sniff* *Sniff* *Sob* *Sob*
Zera tried to convince her that she has to go but Mavis refuses.
"Please... please don't go, Zera... I don't want to be alone... I can't be alone!"
Zera smiled at her,
"You aren't alone... From now on, you'll be with your real friends."
"Nooooo! I want to be with you forever, Zera!"
She cried loudly as their surroundings lit up.
"Mavis, do you know where fairies live?" Zera asked.
Inside the pot...
"In... my... heart..." Mavis responded.
"So then, what must I be?"
...
"This isn't goodbye. I'm just returning where I came from. Inside of you."
They hugged each other tightly.
"Now then, gather up your courage and make me disappear."
When Zera let go of her,
"I'm sorry for being such a mean brat. I'm thankful for every moment we were able to spend together, Mavis. I had a blast."
"I... I had... fun... too... Promise, you'll still be my friend, Zera."
"You betcha... It's a promise."
Zera glanced at me as she slowly disappears.
"Thank you for everything. I'm leaving Mavis in your hands. Watch over her." she requested to me.
I smiled at her,
"You betcha..."
After Zera disappeared,
"Mavis..."
...
"Zera will always be... she will always be in my heart."
She smiled at me with her face full of tears,
"And that's why... I'm going to move ever forward."
"Mm..."
I nodded at her with a kind smile.

After taking with Mavis, I went back to where Lolisa and others are waiting for me.
Meeting with them in the forest outside the town,
"Yoh! I guess... this is it."
"Yeah... thanks for helping us, Haru-shounen. The quest went smoothly." All Might gave a thumbs up.
"The quest reward will be given to us after we returned back to our home worlds." Shinobu spoke.
"Umu Umu, Praetor, it was fun! Let's go on another quest sometimes." Nero clung on my arm.
"Yeah... sure."
"Umu!" She smiled at me.
(Img<<<)
Hayasaka looks tired,
"Finally... we were able to finish the quest. Now, I have to go back to my work."
*Sigh*
She sighed.
They noticed that my little sister, Lolisa was trembling.
Expecting that she'll reacting like this, I just patted her head.
"Lolisa, you and your friends have to go back now. If you have anything to say to me, tell me already."
Lolisa grabbed my hand on top of her head, she became teary-eyed,
*Sniff* *Sniff*
"Onii-sama... I don't want to go back to my terrible home world." she cries.
"Don't worry, soon enough, I'm going back to the present then I'll bring you to my home world."
"It's that true?"
"Yeah... I promise. Why would I leave my precious little sister in such a terrible place."
...
She embraced me.
"Onii-sama!"
"Yosh... Yosh..." I patted her head again.
When the portal opened,
"Wait!"
I dashed and tried to enter the portal.
"Huh?"
I just went pass through it.
I guess... only Lolisa and her group chat members can only enter the portal.
"Sorry, I'm in hurry."
Hayasaka quickly entered the portal.
"Thank you."
Followed by King as he entered the portal.
"Next time, Haru-shounen."
I nodded.
All might went back to his home world.
Shinobu halted in front of the portal then glanced at me.
"See you next time, Shinobu."
"Ara Ara, Sayonara!" she waved at me as she enters the portal and goes back home.
Lolisa was hesitating beside me.
"Lolisa... just wait for me over there. I promise I will come and get you."
She finally smiles wiping her tears then she went nears the portal.
"I will be waiting for you, Onii-sama."
"Yeah... Tell me who bullies you if I arrived there, I shall show them the meaning of hell."
"Hehehe..." she giggled.
"Also, tell Kurumi that I'm gonna spank her butt as punishment. That's why, she should prepare herself."
Lolisa reddened becoming shy,
"Ummm... Onii-sama? Could you do it with me too? I want Onii-sama to touch my butt--
"Go home!"
"Yes..."
She finally entered the portal and went back to her home world.
When the portal closes,
*Sigh*
I sighed, having a headache.
"Praetor... what are we going to do next?"
"Well... As a father, I have to deal--Huh?"
Nero was standing next to me.
"Nero, what are you doing here. You were supposed to go back home to your home world."
"What are talking about, Praetor? My home is always beside my Master."
