Gray watched with mixed feelings as he saw Deliora being sealed away, he was sad that he cannot even put a scratch on Deliora, whereas a kid his age did the same.
Ur seemed to see what he was thinking as she rubbed his head and said.
"Don't compare yourself to him, you are just a late bloomer, who knows who will be stronger than who when you grow older."
Although she said that, Ur knows that it's far from the truth, John is a monster above geniuses, at such a young age of 7 he already has power that can kill an A-rank wizard.
So Ur knew that even if Gray grows up, it's not like John will stop growing, he will only grow stronger and stronger reaching the ceiling at a young age.
Ur sighed while thinking of all this, the younger generation will surpass the older generations.
"Miss Ur, I wonder if you would like to join our guild?" John suddenly said interrupting her thoughts.
"A guild? The days of me taking jobs and going on dangerous adventures are over, now I just want to be a teacher to my students and a mother to my daughter." She rejected the invitation without hesitation.
"Don't be in a hurry to reject, think about it more for Ultear, Gray, and Lyon." John said as he pointed to them.
"You may feel that your days are over, but how about them? They are young and had a whole journey in front of them."
"Can you really bear it? Staying in this place as Ultear, Gray, and Lyon grew up and left to explore the world, receiving a letter every now and then?"
Ur was silent as John was right, the children will grow up, and when that happened, it's inevitable for them to want to see the world.
After a long time of delibiration, Ur raised her head and rubbed John's head as she said. "Alright, you got me kid, I'm joining a guild again."
"Let's go back first and I'm gonna pack up some things and then we can go to Magnolia."
John has a big smile on his face as he said. "Okay, you agreed right? You can't take it back, I'll introduce you to someone where you can rent a big room to stay in."
"No need, I still have enough money from my adventuring days, enough to at least rent a house in Magnolia." Ur shook her head to refuse.
John nodded as they went back to Ur's house and watched them pack their things, after they were done packing up, Ur encased her house in purple Ice.
"This ice will probably last for another 10 years, at that time we can go back again to see the old house." Ur said with nostalgia as she was leaving this place called home. "Let's go, onwards to Magnolia."
They then bid farewell to the townsmen, then rented a carriage towards Magnolia, as the Ice Phoenix got destroyed in the fight with Deliora.
Well, she can create another one, but, Ultear and the others want to see the different towns along the way to Magnolia.
*June 28, Year 774*
It took them a week to go to Magnolia, It took them 6 days to get to Oshibana town where they took a train and arrived at Magnolia.
John brought them to his apartment first and have them stay inside the guest rooms for the night and the next day brought them to the Fairy Tail guild hall.
John kicked open the door as he shouted, "Old Man Makarov! I got new members to register!"
Makarov who was depressed because he cannot drink due to being told on by the doctor immediately cheered up upon hearing John's words.
"Oh! Where are the newcomers, kid?!" Makarov looked at John as he jumped out and walked towards them.
But when he saw Ur, a surprised look flashed in his eyes as he said. "It's actually you, Crystal Rose Sorceress, Ur!"
"Crystal Rose Sorceress?" Gray and the others looked at Ur in doubt.
"It's just a title that was given by other mages when I used to adventure the world, I even did a few jobs with Makarov right here." Ur said with a smile, but there's pride hidden behind that smile.
"Mom, you are so amazing." Ultear clapped her hand in joy and amazement, Ur smiled in amusement as she rubbed Ultear's head.
"I thought you quit long ago from being a wizard and adventurer years ago, but I didn't expect that you will be willing to come out of seclusion." Makarov said.
"Well, it's not easy to support so many children at the same time, I need to go back and start making more money." Ur said with a wry smile as she gestured to Ultear, Gray and Lyon.
Makarov nodded in understanding as bringing up a family is indeed heavy on the pockets, if not for him being a powerful mage, he won't even be able to pull Ivan up from a young age.
"Anyway where do you want your guildmark to be?" Makarov asked as he took out the guild stamp.
"Just put it here." Ur said as she pointed to her right shoulder.
Makarov nodded and stamped on her right shoulder, after that he stood on the table as he shouted.
"Listen up you brats! We have a new member today, and you know what that means."
The other members present also smiled as they shouted.
"IT'S PARTY TIME!!!"
[Author Mini-Series:
The author woke up to find out that he was tied to a chair with a T.V in front of him, terrified he shouted at the cloaked man behind the T.V.
"HEY! What are you doing?! I did everything you guys asked for and yet you tied me up?!"
"Hey, it's not my decision, its an order from the higher ups, they are not satisfied with the chapters you are pumping out recently." The cloaked man shrugged.
"So, you'll be punished for the first time because of the sub-par quality of chapters. And the minor punishment is to watch the whole Boku no Picu series."
The author's face changed when he heard the punishment as he shouted crazily.
"You can't do this to me!!! How can you make me watch that thing?! Where's my lawyer?! I Want to sue you for violation of human rights!!"
The cloaked man didn't say anything as he turned on the T.V and walked to the door as he said.
"Even I think that this punishment is too cruel, I just hope that you'll come out sane after this one."
With the last click of the remote in his hand he quickly closed the door, as he heard loud screaming from the author before the door was completely close.]
