"Dad, I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
On the street at dusk, Marcao and his son Romeo embraced tightly, pouring out their hearts to each other.
Standing not far away, Shirou Kotomine, Lucy, Natsu, and Happy watched this scene quietly.
After healing Macao's injuries, the group quickly left the snowy mountain and returned to Magnolia, the town where Fairy Tail was located.
He brought Macao back to Romeo's side.
On their way back, they learned the whole story from Macao.
It turns out that Romeo, the son of a Fairy Tail mage, is often bullied by other children in town who mock his father for being a mage and drinking all the time.
Romeo, who was being mocked, wanted Marcao to do some impressive work.
And that's how this incident happened.
Marcao accepted the mission to defeat the Balkan monster. He fought against many enemies single-handedly, and after defeating nineteen Balkans, he was taken over by the twentieth one.
This made him very resentful.
He blamed himself on the whole way back.
As a father, he also wanted to be his son's pride.
"It's alright, I'm a mage's child."
Hearing Romeo's words of comfort, Marcao looked at him earnestly and said, "Next time you encounter other kids causing trouble, just tell them!"
"Can your father take down nineteen monsters all by himself?!"
Hearing his father's words, Romeo happily shed tears.
"What a touching father-son relationship!"
Seeing the two pouring out their hearts, Kotomine Shirou couldn't help but sigh.
Such feelings deeply resonated with him.
After all, he also respected his two adoptive fathers.
"Let's go back."
Seeing that the matter was resolved perfectly, Natsu's face was full of smiles.
Under his leadership, the group left the street, leaving it to the father and son who had almost parted forever.
As they left, Romeo, who had seen them, loudly thanked them from behind.
Neither Shirou Kotomine nor Natsu turned around.
They simply waved.
But in their hearts, they did receive the other party's gratitude.
So they were very happy.
.
Upon returning to the Fairy Tail guild, Shirou Kotomine, his two companions, and their cat were greeted by Mirajane, the guild's mascot.
"Welcome back, all four!"
"Judging from your expressions, the operation went very smoothly."
Mirajane welcomed them with a smile.
"That's right, the operation went smoothly, and we brought Macao back safely."
Lucy patted her chest and said with a proud look on her face.
"But what does this have to do with you, Lucy? Whether it's defeating the Vulcans or healing Macao, weren't those all done by Shirou?"
Happy quickly exposed Lucy's lie.
As a result, Lucy's face visibly flushed.
She felt incredibly embarrassed to have her self-aggrandizing side exposed in front of her idol.
"But...but aren't we teammates? Shouldn't the credit be split equally?"
Lucy, frantically trying to find a way to make amends, loudly berated Happy.
Then she quickly turned around, her eyes brimming with tears, grabbed Kotomine Shirou's sleeve, and looked at him pleadingly.
"What's wrong?"
Knowing what Lucy was implying, Shirou Kotomine pretended not to know anything and asked Lucy in return with a puzzled look.
"puff!"
Natsu and Happy burst out laughing as they witnessed this scene.
In fact, if Mirajane hadn't turned her face away so quickly, she almost had laughed too.
Shirou Kotomine's response felt like Lucy had been struck by several arrows, almost knocking her to the ground.
"Did I really not deserve any credit?"
Lucy hasn't given up yet; he's still hinting.
"A contribution? I think you should have one, right?"
Kotomine Shirou responded uncertainly.
Then he pretended to be deep in thought.
But as he remained lost in thought for longer and longer, Lucy's expression grew increasingly utterly hopeless.
Finally, feeling the increasingly intense pain in his arm, Shirou Kotomine said with certainty.
"Lucy, how could you not have contributed? We're teammates! My contribution is your contribution too!"
"If you were so aware of this, you should have said so sooner!"
Although she had been waiting for those words, after Shirou Kotomine's period of contemplation, Lucy no longer showed any joy.
However, upon receiving approval, she immediately put her hands on her hips and stared fiercely at Happy.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing."
Seeing that things had eased somewhat, Mirajane quickly stepped forward to calm the crowd.
"By the way, Lucy and Shirou just arrived in Magnolia today, right? So you probably don't have a place to stay yet, right?"
Having found his way, Mirajane began to change the subject.
"That's definitely not available."
Lucy and Shirou Kotomine both nodded.
"Lucy, you can sleep at my house tonight. Shirou, you can stay at Natsu's house. I'll take you to find a suitable place to stay tomorrow. It's getting late tonight."
Mirajane tried her best to separate Lucy and Happy, the two sworn enemies.
They were afraid that they would reignite the war.
"I'm fine!"
Lucy would naturally not refuse the opportunity to live with her idol.
"I'm fine too, but what about you, Natsu?"
Kotomine Shirou looked at Natsu.
"Of course, no problem!"
Natsu responded with a loud laugh.
"Then let's go."
Mirajane, who had already finished her work and was just waiting for Shirou Kotomine and the others to return, immediately came out from behind the counter.
Then, not far from the guild gate, they split into two groups and headed to Natsu's house and Mirajane's house respectively.
At Natsu's house, Shirou Kotomine received a warm welcome from him and Happy.
That night, the three of them chatted for a long time before going to sleep.
The next day, Shirou Kotomine and Lucy, who had met at the guild, went to find a place to stay under Mirajane's guidance.
They found suitable accommodation without any problems.
It was an apartment located next to a small river in the city. Shirou Kotomine and Lucy's apartments were very close to each other, and the owners were the same person.
Therefore, both of them pay the same rent, J.
Shirou Kotomine and Lucy were both very satisfied with their apartment.
So after choosing a house, Lucy went out in the afternoon to pick out some nice and inexpensive furniture to decorate the room.
As for Kotomine Shirou?
After putting his suitcase in his bedroom, he returned to Fairy Tail.
For him, the things left in that room by the original owner of the apartment were enough for him to use.
He doesn't plan to buy any new furniture.
Besides, even if he wanted to buy it, he doesn't have the financial means right now.
All the money he had in this world was the J he got from selling swords at the magic item shop.
After deducting J's rent and expenses for the past two days.
He only has about J left.
This money is simply not enough to support him in doing anything.
.
Upon arriving at Fairy Tail, Shirou Kotomine headed straight for Mirajane, whom he already knew well.
"You're coming straight at me, do you want a drink?"
Mirajane, who had noticed Shirou Kotomine as soon as he entered, asked with a light laugh.
"Having a drink is no problem, but I have other matters to discuss with you, Miss Mirajane."
Kotomine Shirou responded with a smile.
"Oh, what is it?"
Mirajane was somewhat curious.
"Does our guild have a library or something similar?"
