"Is this what the outside world is like?"
With its bright green pupils, Emerald lay beside the large basket, looking outside.
Princess Fiore of the Kingdom, born and raised in the inner palace, is visiting the outside world of "Hall of Lights" Meluklias for the first time.
"Wouldn't it be fun to go out for a walk?"
Moen asked with a smile, "Princesses who grow up in the palace can certainly receive a good education, but it is also essential for them to go out and see the whole world. Otherwise, they will just end up as high and mighty noble rulers."
"Hmm! The outside world must be much more interesting than the palace, right?"
Emerald's eyes widened, filled with excitement and anticipation. It was her first time going out, her first time traveling far from home, and she was going to stay there for an extended period. Naturally, it was difficult for her to keep her emotions stable.
"Of course, it's much more interesting than the palace."
Moen looked at Emerald and felt sorry for the child.
While it's true that a princess of a nation is pitiful, and there's a sense of "why don't they eat meat porridge?", being all alone, without any friends of the same age, and growing up in the deep palace is indeed a kind of pitiful situation.
Even if they weren't born into the same privileged background as Jade, or had a "noble status" as her, and many were even orphans who didn't even know who their parents were, the children in "Fairy Tail" were definitely much happier than Jade, and they had a more complete childhood.
But then again, Emerald carries the future of the Kingdom of Fiore on her shoulders, and her childhood cannot be solely focused on happiness; that would be irresponsible towards the future of the kingdom.
Therefore, by accepting Emerald as his disciple, Moen also shouldered a greater responsibility—a responsibility for the future of the Kingdom of Fiore.
In particular, King Thomas even brought Emerald with him to "Fairy Tail," which practically entrusted him with the entire task of nurturing Emerald, putting him under some pressure.
However, having grown up in "Fairy Tail," it's already quite good that Jade won't turn out badly no matter what. She has a positive outlook, a sense of responsibility, and a sense of justice, so she's unlikely to become a tyrant. This can be considered a successful upbringing.
The crow flew swiftly and arrived at Magnolia in no time, landing by the lake in the backyard of the Fairy Tail guild hall. Everyone in the guild was obviously very familiar with Moen's giant crow.
At first, Emerald was quite excited about the journey, but after a while, she became dizzy and curled up. By the time they arrived and she came out of the large basket, her excitement had gradually subsided, and she almost fell asleep inside for the rest of the journey.
"Moen! You're back!"
Moen and Emerald had only been landed for a short time when a bunch of children had already arrived. Upon seeing Moen's crows, they immediately chased after them and surrounded them, chattering excitedly.
Emerald stared wide-eyed at the scene, as she watched Master Moen surrounded by a group of children around her age, many of whom were girls.
"Brother Moen, how did the mission go? Did you encounter any trouble? My divination suggests there shouldn't be any major problems."
"Brother Moen, you're finally back! I've memorized the lesson you taught me last time, now I can learn a new one!"
"Hey, who's this kid? I've never seen Juvia before."
The children chattered excitedly, concerned about Moen's situation. Of course, they also noticed Emerald following behind Moen.
Juvia looked at Emerald with curiosity, a hint of wariness in her eyes. Another beautiful girl.
"If you don't run into any trouble, I'll teach you something new when I have time. This child is Emerald, my apprentice, and also a new member of the guild."
Moen answered the questions from Cana, Levy, and Juvia in turn. As for Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel, who were chattering about who had beaten whom in the past few days, he just gave them perfunctory "uh-huhs".
"Let me introduce jade to everyone."
Moen called Emerald forward and introduced her to everyone. Everyone was there except for Mira, Lisanna, and Elfman's family. The three siblings had gone on a mission together, but they hadn't gone far; they were still in Magnolia City.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jade, nice to meet you all~~~"
Emerald stepped forward, greeting everyone with a smile. She was poised and confident, showing no signs of stage fright.
Putting everything else aside, King Thomas's education of Emerald was quite successful; the little girl has an excellent personality and interpersonal skills.
Jade's elegant and graceful demeanor naturally garnered a lot of goodwill from everyone, and people introduced themselves to Jade.
Making friends with a group of peers of similar age rekindled Emerald's excitement. She tried hard to remember each person's name and characteristics to avoid mistaking them for others, but this worry was unnecessary because these children all had very distinct features.
"Brother Moen, why do you say she's your apprentice?"
Natsu asked with some curiosity. He wasn't the only one curious about this; everyone had noticed what Moen had just said.
"Because I took Emerald as my apprentice, to learn magic and the harp. It's a very formal process. Emerald's father agreed and brought her to the guild with me."
Moen spoke with a smile, which surprised everyone.
Although Moen is quite tall and doesn't look like a child, he is old enough to take on apprentices.
In children's minds, formal apprenticeships and master-disciple relationships usually involve a large age gap, with the master typically being older, like the pair of Master Voltawa and Moen. This is what a normal master-disciple relationship looks like.
Although Moen and Emerald are a few years apart in age, it still seems a bit strange. No one expected that the two would have this kind of relationship at first.
"Brother Moen, may I become your apprentice?"
Levy pointed to herself and asked, somewhat bewildered.
The reason she asked this question was, of course, because she was also learning from Moen, except that she was learning a language. No, it wasn't just a language; Levy had already discovered that the language Moen was teaching her, called Chinese, was also a kind of magical script.
So if I had to say something, she's currently learning magic from Moen.
"That doesn't count; only learning Celestial Magic counts."
Upon hearing Levy's question, Moen couldn't help but chuckle. His "Master-Disciple System" clearly only worked on matters related to Saint Seiya, and teaching Levy Chinese was not affected by the "Saint Seiya System."
"Learn Celestial Magic?! You mean that magic you used, Moen?!"
Gray's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise.
He had always envied Moen's "Diamond Star Fist" and wanted to learn it from Moen, but he had never been too shy to ask.
Now, it's even more difficult for Gray to ask to learn again, because he will absolutely not seek another teacher. He already has a teacher, and he will only ever have that one teacher.
"Yes, Emerald learned the magic of Lyra."
Moen nodded and answered Gray's question.
Although Gray never said it, Moen knew that Gray had always wanted to learn his "Diamond Dust" technique, and that he remembered it even years into the future. Moen learned this from Gray in the future.
"."
Gray gritted his teeth and suppressed his thoughts. No matter what, he was determined not to take anyone else as his master.
"Does Jade have a place to stay?"
Erza approached Emerald and asked her a question.
"Not yet, but Master seemed to have said before that I should live in the girls' dormitory?"
Emerald tilted her head and looked at Moen, asking about his plans.
"That's right, Erza, please make the arrangements. Emerald will also be staying in the dormitory, so could you please show her around?"
Moen looked at Erza. He couldn't help with the girls' dormitory matter. Grandma Hilda wouldn't let him into the girls' dormitory anymore, and even saving his life couldn't change her principles!
Grandma Hilda, the dormitory supervisor, has recovered and returned to her post; she wasn't seriously injured to begin with.
"Leave it to me with confidence."
Erza immediately agreed. She was a very responsible person and always willing to help others, so she naturally wouldn't refuse such a thing.
"Jade, go to the dormitory with Erza. If you have any problems, you can talk to everyone or go to the dormitory supervisor, Hilda. She can help you with any problems you have."
Moen looked at Emerald and told her that men and women are different, and he really couldn't help her with anything in life.
But everyone is a good girl, so the atmosphere in the girls' dormitory is naturally good. Besides, Grandma Hilda takes care of them, so there's nothing to worry about. Living in the girls' dormitory will definitely save a lot of trouble and help Emerald integrate into the group more quickly.
"Okay, Master. Erza, thank you for your help~"
Emerald nodded earnestly, then bowed to Erza in gratitude.
This action caught Erza off guard, and she quickly waved her hand, indicating that Emerald didn't need to be so serious.
"We are companions, Emerald, this is what I should do."
Erza explained to Emerald that it was hard to imagine that these were the words of the withdrawn and eccentric armored girl from three or four years ago, but that was the magic of Fairy Tail.
"Companions?"
Emerald paused for a moment, then repeated the reason. Within the Fairy Tail guild, this term seemed to carry a different meaning, a meaning that moved people.
'The guild my master belongs to is definitely different.'
Emerald sighed inwardly, looking at Master Moen, who was surrounded by children and had a sunny smile on his face that shone on everyone. She felt that what her master said was really true; life in the outside world was much more interesting than in the palace.
Led by Erza, Emerald arrived at the girls' dormitory, and she was somewhat surprised by its luxuriousness.
While it certainly can't compare to the "Hall of Lights" in Meluklias, this dormitory is definitely great value for its price.
When Emerald first heard that the dormitory fee was only 100,000 J, she thought it would be a terrible dormitory. She didn't expect it to be so luxurious, with all kinds of facilities, including a large swimming pool and a large bathhouse.
"Grandma Hilda, this child is Emerald. She is Moen's apprentice and has just joined the guild. She will be living in the dormitory from now on. Please register her. We have already chosen a room."
After taking Jade around and choosing a room, Erza took Jade to the dorm supervisor, Hilda, to register.
Before coming to the dormitory, she and Moen had already registered Emerald at the guild. With Moen as the recommender, Emerald's membership was naturally without any obstacles, and she was directly stamped.
"Mountie again? Why does he always bring young girls home?"
Upon hearing Erza's words, the dorm supervisor, Hilda, couldn't help but complain.
"And they're all pretty young girls."
After glancing at the jade, Granny Hilda added another comment.
"Who else could it be but me?"
Grandma Hilda's words piqued Emerald's curiosity. Wasn't she the first girl her master brought back?
"And Juvia and Wendy, do you remember who they are?"
Erza smiled and answered Emerald's question.
"Wendy is that gentle and lovely little girl, with a talking cat named Charlene by her side, and Juvia is that blue-haired girl who's always muttering to herself, right?"
Jade thought for a moment and then gave an answer.
"That's right, you remember people pretty quickly."
Erza was surprised. She hadn't expected that after just one meeting, Emerald would already remember Wendy and Juvia so clearly, and even remember their characteristics so well.
This naturally surprised Erza. With so many children, they only gave a brief introduction and spent the rest of the time mostly surrounding Moen, barely exchanging a few words with Emerald. Her observation and memory skills are impressive!
"I had nothing else to do, so I just wrote down everyone's names."
Jade smiled and spoke, partly out of politeness; it would be too impolite to call a new friend by the wrong name.
"As expected, you are also very capable. No wonder you were chosen by Moen."
Erza remarked that her words were somewhat ambiguous.
"The chosen ones or something"
Emerald blushed; she wasn't that special.
"?"
Erza looked at Emerald with a strange expression, wondering if the girl was sick. Why did her face suddenly turn red?
"."
Seeing this, Granny Hilda shook her head. She suddenly felt a little worried about Erza. This child was really oblivious when it came to matters of the heart, and Moen's personality was...
"Ah Qiu!"
Moen suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and felt like someone was talking badly about him behind his back!
As for catching a cold, given his current physical condition, it's practically impossible for him to get one, okay? No virus could possibly survive in his body against his immune cells; if it could survive for two seconds, his white blood cells would be slow to react!
Rubbing his nose, Moen then walked into the theater. He was there to see Master Voltava. While he was away, the task of teaching the Emerald Harp would have to be entrusted to Master Voltava and Lyra, the Lyra Celestial Spirit, since he also had a mission to complete.
