Chapter 54 Celebration and Punishment
Chapter 54 Celebration and Punishment
In the evening, the celebration began.
After the effects of the Moon Drops disappeared, the villagers of Galna Island regained their memories.
To celebrate this, they held a grand banquet.
Although they were quite frightened by Erza before, Lucy and the others quickly forgot about it as the celebration began.
They quickly joined in the celebration.
However, some minor incidents occurred during this process.
Those were the two men who had been sent by Leo to destroy the village and came to apologize.
Since he wasn't involved in the matter, Shirou Kotomine, as an observer, didn't speak during the process and simply watched them quietly.
Seeing their sincere apology.
Then Naz pulled him into the celebration.
"As expected of Natsu, he always manages to turn enemies into friends."
"I can't help but sigh with a smile," said Shirou Kotomine.
As expected of the original protagonist?
"Shirou, what are you doing sitting over there? Come here!"
Just as Shirou Kotomine was feeling sentimental, Natsu's shout suddenly rang out.
Lucy immediately ran over and pulled Shirou Kotomine, who was sitting in the corner, over to him.
"Haha, now we're all here! Let's toast!"
"oh!"
The lively atmosphere suddenly enveloped Kotomine Shirou.
A jumble of shouts, laughter, and chatter filled the air around Shirou Kotomine.
But this did not annoy him.
Shirou Kotomine really enjoys this atmosphere.
That's why, when the banquet ended, standing alone under the bright moonlight, Shirou Kotomine suddenly felt a little sad.
"How long can this kind of life last?"
That was destined to be short-lived.
That's why we should cherish our time.
.
the next day.
On the beach of Galna Island.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine was lazily lying on a chair, enjoying a sunbath.
Beside him were chilled drinks.
After completing their mission on Karna Island, Shirou Kotomine and his group did not immediately return to the guild, but instead planned to rest for a day on the small northern island.
After all, even though they often take on various commissions, the opportunity to come to such a remote island is very rare.
In Shirou Kotomine's memory, Erza and the others left quickly after dealing with the matter.
That was to deal with Natsu and the others stealing the commission as soon as possible.
That's why Erza was so fast.
But this time, Erza took on the mission to the Cursed Island.
Furthermore, Shirou Kotomine also took over the right to punish Natsu and the others from the chairman.
In this way, there's no rush to go back.
After all, punishments are also possible here.
For example, the constant cries of anguish coming from the sea and the pleas for help coming from the shore.
The owners of these two voices were Natsu and Happy.
After the punishment was decided, the three people and one cat who were to be punished were divided into two groups by Shirou Kotomine and Erza.
Gray and Lucy were taken away by Erza.
So Natsu and Happy fell into the hands of Shirou Kotomine.
After careful consideration, Shirou Kotomine made a decision based on the weaknesses of these two individuals.
First up is Natsu.
For this hot-blooded idiot, ordinary punishments are nothing to him.
Overly cruel methods of torture are also unsuitable for companions.
Therefore, the final punishment for Natsu will have to be based on his weakness: being unable to use transportation.
To this end, Shirou Kotomine had the pirates who brought them sail continuously in the nearby waters, and also prepared a cart for Natsu on the ship, giving him a double dose of dizziness.
He also arranged for someone to keep Natsu constantly alert.
At first, Shirou Kotomine didn't know if this method would work.
However, upon hearing Natsu's loud wail, Shirou Kotomine was immediately satisfied.
As long as it works.
After all, he had made a bet with Erza last night to see whose punishment method was more 'effective'.
Although Shirou Kotomine doesn't really care about winning or losing.
But we can't just admit defeat without doing anything, can we?
As for Harpy?
The punishment for it is much simpler.
Kotomine Shirou simply tied it up, then went fishing by the sea and made an extremely delicious whole fish feast.
Midway through, Shirou Kotomine even let it taste the food to determine if it was delicious.
After it declared it "the most delicious food in the world," Shirou Kotomine ate it with satisfaction.
Seeing Shirou Kotomine's expression of enjoyment and smelling the extremely delicious aroma, Happy kept struggling.
This must be the cruelest punishment for it!
Regardless, Shirou Kotomine was quite satisfied with his methods.
The resentment of being abandoned vanished instantly.
Especially when he saw Erza holding one of Gray's and Lucy's legs with each hand and pulling them back, Shirou Kotomine smiled even more brightly.
Ultimately, under the punishment of Shirou Kotomine and Erza, Lucy, the three humans, and the cat made a sincere confession.
He also said he would never do such a thing again.
"Very good. I can see from your expressions that you are indeed filled with remorse, which makes me very satisfied."
"If the president still intends to punish you after we get back, I will plead for you."
"That's enough for today's punishment. Enjoy the rest of your time now, as we'll be heading back tomorrow."
"oh!"
Upon hearing that the punishment was over, the three people and one cat who had been kneeling on the ground in repentance immediately jumped up excitedly.
Lucy quickly changed into the swimsuit she had prepared beforehand, lay down on the chair next to Shirou Kotomine, and started drinking Gray's chilled beverage.
Natsu and Gray chased each other along the beach.
Although the two of them started fighting while having a water fight, it turned into a real fight.
But today, Erza didn't stop the two of them. Instead, she, along with Shirou Kotomine and Lucy, pointed at them and laughed.
As for Harpy?
It rushed into the sea to fish as soon as it was unsealed.
Then he brought several plump fish to Shirou Kotomine to have them made.
Mine Shirou naturally wouldn't refuse such a suggestion.
They also prepared other ingredients, and everyone enjoyed a barbecue.
At the beginning, only a few people, including Shirou Kotomine, were visiting this place.
However, the number of people started to increase along the way.
The newcomers were none other than the same mages who had been rivals and celebrated together last night.
However, Leo was also brought in this time.
Although he initially seemed reluctant, he quickly integrated into the group.
This made Shirou Kotomine sigh, realizing that this guy and Gray were the same—both were tsundere.
It's safe to say they were taught by the same master.
Soon, this pleasant day came to an end.
The day of return has arrived.
On their return journey, Shirou Kotomine and his companions still traveled on a pirate ship, and they were given a warm send-off by everyone when they parted ways.
There are inhabitants of the cursed island, as well as Rio and his mages.
As the pirate ship sailed further and further away, their figures soon disappeared completely from Kotomine Shirou's sight.
Turning his gaze away from Karna Island, Shirou Kotomine turned to look in the direction of the Fairy Tail guild.
Although it was just a vast ocean.
But Shirou Kotomine seems to be able to see that memorable guild building.
"Next up is the ruler of Phantom Lord!"
Kotomine Shirou thought to himself.
