The 38th challenge, the 38th defeat.

As Natsu's body rotated three times in the air, he finally lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Habi raised his hand and announced the result of the battle.

Three days after leaving the town, several people were heading to what Natsu called Fairy Tail. On the way, Natsu was like a tireless challenger, challenging Lisa for more than ten times each time, but Lisa instantly knocked down.

Habi, who is used to this kind of thing, was not surprised that Natsu was defeated. He just walked forward and put Natsu aside, waiting for his awakening.

Lisa has also inquired about the world's information from different places these days.

This is a world full of magic. People who have magic power and can use magic are called magicians. However, generally speaking, they need to join the guild to be officially recognized as magicians. This is why many magician guilds have been established.

Like her own guess, the guild maintains its operation by accepting and solving tasks entrusted by the client. However, she has not found out much in this world's magician classification.

From Natsu's mouth, there are many types of magic. Most magicians' nicknames are named with them using magic systems, and some are named by their fighting style, appearance, and reputation.

This land belongs to the Kingdom of Fiore, which is a permanent neutral country with a population of 17 million. It also leads to countless magicians taking root here and establishing the Magician Guild. The most famous one is Naz's Guild Fairy Tail, and another ghost Guild with a worse reputation.

Give.

Thank you, Aye. Habi thanked Akuraha who handed him the grilled fish, and then took a bite. It tasted delicious. The crispy outside and tender inside instantly conquered his tongue. Habi couldn't help but praise him, it was obvious that he had just joined our team today, and he could actually make my favorite taste.

Amakura Ye, who was praised by Habi, looked a little unwilling to accept it, but it soon disappeared. Instead, she said with a smile, right? Maybe my cooking skills have improved.

This is not the first time I have received Habi's praise. During these three days, every time I wake up, I will ask questions or conversations.

Who are you?

When were you there?

Do you want to join Fairy Tail?

Welcome to join. I will ask the old man to help after I go back.

......

Every time they are as enthusiastic as strangers like themselves, Natsu and Habi are as passionate as ever. They have no concealment of their own purpose. Even when they learn that they don’t know how to magic, they don’t say much, but are just happy that they join the Fairy Tail.

Looking at Asakura Ye's expression, Lisa didn't say anything. As he often said before, choices were decided by oneself, and even if there was only trauma in the end, it was her own choice.

Not knowing the sorrow under the smile of Asakuraye at this time, Habi nodded and replied, "If you join, everyone will be very happy."

Asakura Haha has heard this sentence several times these days. He took advantage of the fact that Habi had not yet said the second half and said, is it because I can make delicious food?

Without covering up his thoughts, Habi nodded and said, although the guild food was delicious, Aye made it even better.

Asakura said with a smile, but is Sister Lisa doing a good job?

The experience of being with Makura Ye these days will become their experience of being with Lisa, so Habi only remembers that Lisa made the grilled fish made by Makura Ye.

Is Lisa really not going to join Fairy Tail?

Although Lisa acted with them, she did make it clear in the previous conversation that she did not want to join Fairy Tail. Fortunately, Lisa did not belong to any Magician Guild, so it wouldn't matter if she took her to Fairy Tail.

After getting along these days, the few people have indeed developed a certain friendship, but that friendship is not yet possible. Lisa will join Fairy Tail. She had to find a reason to go there perfunctorily and wait until I finish the work, I will consider it carefully.

Habi has been accustomed to this answer these days. He did not continue to persuade him, but just quietly enjoyed the grilled fish from Makuraha.

Asakura Ye handed a piece of meat to Natsu and smelled the smell of barbecue. Natsu, who was originally unconscious, immediately bounced up his body, took the barbecue from his hand, and feasted.

While eating, I didn't forget to say something delicious and thank you.

Asakura Ye watched them praise the food they made, but he still had a smile on his face, but only he could understand the sadness under the smile.

Lisa is like a bystander, not participating in their interactions throughout the whole process. Today’s interaction is just a replacement for tomorrow’s forgetting or memory. Even if she is not involved, tomorrow in their memory, she is making delicious food for them to eat, and she is also someone who wants to add Fairy Tail.

And Asakura Ha who did everything really will be completely forgotten by them and will introduce himself again.

After eating and drinking, Natsu's heart was like a tumbler. No matter how you push it, it would get up again. He knew that his strength was not worth mentioning in front of Lisa, but he still launched a challenge.

The result is conceivable, Natsu was just knocked out again.

Hubby pulled up the unconscious Natsu from his back and flew towards the city where his guild was.

At night, Asakura Ye sat alone in the nearby stream, watching the gurgling stream water, the reflection in the water, like a down-and-out player who lost the game, picked up a tiny stone from the side, held it hard, and threw it towards the reflection.

Puff

When the tiny stones touched the water surface, a faint sound was made, and then sank to the bottom of the water. The water surface was invaded by external objects, and layers of ripples arose.

The reflection in the water was blurred, but after the ripples disappeared, they returned to their original state again, as if they were laughing at him, and they could not change anything.

Just as he wanted to pick up the reflection in the water again, a warm hand was placed on his shoulder. Even without turning his head, he knew that the owner of the hand was Lisa. After all, Habi and Natsu could not get close to him so quietly.

Very hard work.

Asakuraye leaned his chin against his knees, and his eyes nodded at the reflection in the water.

Why me? Sister Lisa.

He didn't know what was going on. He just learned from Lisa that he was cursed that the people he knew today, whether they had new friendships or evil enemies, would become strangers tomorrow.

What kind of person did I used to be?

He has also learned a lot of new things these days. He feels guilty and frightened that he just woke up and thinks about attacking innocent people, and even treats him as food. He is also confused, what was he like before, humans, monsters?

Lisa sat beside Makuraha, put her feet's armor and socks back into the space, and placed her feet in the flowing stream.

Lisa did not answer the question of Asakura Ye. It was not that she didn't want to answer, but that she didn't know how to answer it.

Lisa's silence made Asakuraye's eyes flush. He turned to look at her and asked with a lucky look, am I... a monster?

Lisa still didn't answer, but she smiled at him and shook her head to deny that he was a monster.

Lisa's denial made Asakuraye feel more happy, but then he asked again, "Am I a human?"

Lisa shook her head again, but then she said, "We are the kind of people. Even if everyone in this world is enemies of you, no matter they regard you as a monster or human being, I will be by your side."

What's the meaning?

Not everyone will accept or recognize our existence and what we do.

The breeze blew up Lisa's hair, and the hair in the air, combined with the bright moonlight, added a bit of beauty to Lisa.

Aye, no matter what choice you make, I will not interfere or stop it.

I want to meet more friends, share happiness with everyone, laugh with everyone, endure pain with everyone, experience hardship with everyone, and...

Asakura Ye said, Lisa listened carefully.

As Asakura Ye spoke, his passionate words became quieter and quieter in the end, until the sound disappeared, replaced by the tears left in his eyes.

Everyone... will forget me... will forget the time I was with me... whether it was joyful or painful... will forget it completely. I hate it... I hate this feeling...

Asakura Ye looked tearful, Lisa just reached out to help him wipe the tears on her face. She had never experienced being forgotten and didn't know how to comfort him in front of her.

The Makura Ye in front of her always reminded her of the Makura Ye she had known before. At that time, he always kept everything in his heart, never wanted to be honest with others, and only wanted to bear everything by himself. Even if his heart was damaged, even if he was traumatized, even if he cried bitterly, he just hid it in his heart.

Now he expressed his thoughts and the pain in his heart. But he was powerless and could only watch him cry quietly and wipe his tears.
