Lisanna, too, was enveloped in a golden light and began to slowly ascend.

“Everyone…” Lisanna looked at the puzzled faces around her, struggling to find the words. For the past few days, she’d wanted to explain everything, but their increased concern made it impossible. The words caught in her throat.

As she drifted upward, her hand was gently grasped.

“Actually, we already knew,” Edolas Mirajane said, softly releasing Lisanna’s hand, “You’re just as kind as the Lisanna we lost, a good child. So you can’t… keep hurting your real siblings.”

“Mirajane, Elfman…” Lisanna whispered, her voice choked with emotion.

Edolas Mirajane, though tears welled in her eyes, still managed a smile.

“Go back to your own world. Give our best to our Earthland selves!”

Lisanna continued to rise, gradually disappearing into the night sky. The magical energy drain was entering its final phase.

“Farewell, Finn, Natsu, Laxus, Wendy, and my family, Fairy Tail!” Mystogan whispered, a final farewell as he watched the figures fade from view. With his words, the magical light completely vanished from Edolas.

————

In a forest in Magnolia, Earthland, everyone waved goodbye to the departing Exceeds. They had arrived before Finn and the others, confirming Magnolia’s restoration after Anima’s reversal. They informed Finn and the others.

However, Carla was very hostile towards the Exceeds, as was Nancy. Carla wanted them to return to Edolas, vehemently denouncing their mission to eliminate the Dragon Slayers.

Faced with Carla’s emotional outburst, the elders attending Queen Shagotte explained. Queen Shagotte, possessing the ability to foresee the future, had foreseen Extalia’s destruction and sent one hundred children to Earthland to escape. They hadn’t given the children any orders, only ensuring their safety.

However, Extalia’s impending destruction couldn’t be revealed to the populace to prevent widespread panic. Therefore, they created the story of defeating the Dragon Slayers from another world.

Regarding Carla’s implanted mission, Queen Shagotte explained that Carla possessed the same precognitive abilities and that they were subconsciously activated. This led to Carla’s misunderstanding; she interpreted her precognitive visions as a direct command. This also explained why Happy was unaware of any such mission.

Upon learning the truth, Carla chose to forgive them.

As for Nancy, Shagotte felt immense guilt upon seeing her. She explained that to maintain the deception of the queen’s divinity, the Exceeds had to label those who resisted as ’fallen’ to maintain the queen’s authority. However, the Exceeds had secretly been searching for Nancy’s family, hoping to secretly bring them back to Extalia.

It was a series of unfortunate events that culminated in countless tragedies. Shagotte begged Nancy to end her life, to atone for her sins.

Nancy, having already let go of the past, shook her head in understanding.

“That country is already gone. My hatred fell with Extalia.”

“Though much misfortune resulted, your intentions were at least good.”

“So, I have no interest in taking your life. As for your sins…”

Nancy paused.

“Atonement will be your life’s work. Do what you feel is right.”

Nancy turned away, ignoring the Exceeds.

Having received forgiveness from Carla and Nancy, Shagotte finally managed a small, relieved smile. They decided to begin searching for the other children sent to this world, striving to make amends for the loss these children suffered. Countless pairs of wings carried them towards the distant horizon.

With the Exceeds gone, Lucy suddenly pointed towards Finn and Gajeel, who were anxiously scanning their surroundings.

“What are those two looking for?”

“Panther Lily! Panther Lily!” Gajeel shouted, his voice filled with a mixture of urgency and desperation.

Seeing Nancy, Carla, and Happy standing together, Gajeel’s anxiety intensified, his desire to locate Panther Lily growing stronger. After all, most of the Fairy Tail Dragon Slayers had a feline companion, even Finn.

Could he help but feel anxious? Laxus, however, was an exception, being a second-generation Dragon Slayer.

“I’m here,” Panther Lily’s voice suddenly emerged from the nearby bushes.

Following the sound, everyone’s eyes fell upon a small figure, no larger than Happy himself.

“???” A collective wave of confusion washed over the group.

Having previously witnessed Panther Lily’s true form, everyone was utterly perplexed by this drastic change in size and appearance.

This was completely unlike the Panther Lily they had known in Edolas.

“Earthland seems to be incompatible with my original size, resulting in this transformation,” Panther Lily explained, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.

He extended his small paw towards Gajeel.

“I wish to join the guild that once cared for the prince. You should uphold your promise and allow me to join, Gajeel!” Panther Lily said, his voice filled with a mixture of hope and anticipation.

“Of course, my partner!!” Gajeel exclaimed, his voice thick with emotion. He enveloped Panther Lily in a tight embrace, tears streaming down his face.

“He’s actually crying…” Lucy muttered, a hint of surprise in her voice.

“So, what’s your situation?” Erza turned to Finn, her gaze fixed upon him.

Seeing Erza’s direct question, Finn decided not to withhold any information.

“I’m looking for Lisanna!”

A heavy silence descended upon the group.

“You mean… Lisanna?!” After a long moment of stunned silence, Erza finally managed to respond, her voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and apprehension.

Finn nodded solemnly.

“From… our world?” Gray’s eyes narrowed as he fixed his gaze intently upon Finn.

Not only Gray, but Natsu, Happy, and the others mirrored his intense scrutiny.

Witnessing the intense stares from the group, Finn spoke slowly and deliberately.

“Yes, exactly what you’re thinking. It’s our Lisanna!”

“The Lisanna from the Edolas Fairy Tail guild. For certain reasons, she remained there. I’ll explain more once I find her,” Finn added, offering a brief explanation.

His gaze swept across the surroundings, his eyes searching for any sign of Lisanna.

At that precise moment, anxious footsteps could be heard approaching from the nearby forest.

“Finn! And everyone else!” A familiar voice called out, filled with a mixture of urgency and relief.

A broad smile spread across Finn’s face. His eyes fell upon a white-haired girl running towards them.

Laxus’s face was etched with a mixture of surprise and disbelief.

“No way…” Natsu and Gray whispered in unison, their voices laced with astonishment.

“It’s really Lisanna!!” Happy cried out joyfully, his eyes shining with unrestrained excitement.

Erza instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes widening in disbelief. Upon hearing the familiar voice, she had no doubt that this was indeed Earthland Lisanna. After all, Edolas Fairy Tail did not include Finn.

Lisanna ran towards them, her arms outstretched, and embraced Finn tightly.
