Fixing Villagers! Wait, We Have to Actually Destroy the Moon?

chapter twenty six

"But isn't there something you need to do first?" Erza stopped the Fairy Tail mages from celebrating too much. "Wasn't the real objective of this job. . .to help the villagers who've transformed into demons?"

"Basically, this S-Class quest isn't over yet." Ashtyn deadpanned.

"B-But Deliora is dead. So the village's curse should be lifted."

"No. This thing you call a curse wasn't a result of Deliora. The people were affected by the Moon Drip's enormous magic energy. Just because Deliora has been vanquished doesn't mean their situation has improved in any way." Ashtyn shook his head.

"Y-You can't be serious." Lucy covered her mouth with her hand.

"It's not like you really did anything, huh, Luce?" Liz had an 'irk' mark on her forehead. "Erza, can you quip me an outfit please? My body is losing heat, and this cold fire isn't helping." Liz has used her magic to form clothes for the time being, hoping she wouldn't be naked for much longer.

"Of course." A pair of red clothe with orange fire on the ankle appeared in the redhead's hands.

"Thank you." Liz slipped them on, feeling warm. "That's better."

"Okay. Let's go heal them, then!" Natsu lifted his hand up for Happy to hit.

"Aye, sir!"

"How, though?" Gray asked, noticing his former light-blue haired friend. "Hey. Lyon."

"I have no idea, just so you know."

"Say what?"

"What?"

"But if you don't know, then how else can the curse be--?"

"We knee of the village's existence when we came to the island three years ago. But we never interfered with the villagers. They never once came to see us, either."

"Not once. . .in three years?" Erza quirked a brow.

"Tch, bull." Liz crossed her arms, walking over to the man with light hair. "They must've seen the Moon Drip's light, why would they make no attempt to check it out and investigate?"

"I'm not even sure the Moon Drip has any effect on the body."

"Come to think of it, you and your comrades looked pretty normal." Liz chewed on her lip.

"What, are you trying to say it wasn't your guys' fault now?" Natsu glared at him.

"Think about it. We were bathed in the same light for three years as well."

"Oh, that's true." Lucy gasped,

"I already pointed this out, you guys." Elizabeth groaned, no one really was paying attention to her.

"Be careful. They're hiding something. This is guild work now, though." Lyon tilted his head away.

"You're not getting off that easy. You guys destroyed the vill--!" Erza grabbed Natsu's cheeks, cutting him off.
