Chapter 113: Rod, Your Mission Awaits
Chapter 113: Rod, Your Mission Awaits
Knock... Rod raised his hand to knock, but the door opened on its own before he could.
"Old lady, please let me finish. We're here because—"
"To see the Sky Dragon Grandine, right?" Porlyusica said, cutting him off. "But I'm not a dragon; I'm just a regular human."
Natsu muttered under his breath, "Then why do you always say you hate humans?"
Porlyusica glared at him. "What's it to you if I hate humans?"
"Nothing, nothing."
"I don't know where the dragon you're looking for is, but I did communicate with the Sky Dragon. It was probably through some form of telepathy, speaking directly to my mind."
Porlyusica pulled a book from her arms and handed it to Wendy. "This is a magic book I wrote based on the Sky Dragon's dictation. It contains the Sky Dragon Slayer arts 'Galaxy' and 'Sky Piercing Light.'"
Wendy took the book with both hands, cradling it to her chest. "Grandine wanted to give me this..."
Shari seemed nervous. "So, who are you really?"
"Beyond the world we live in, there is another world called Edolas." Porlyusica gazed at the sky. "Almost everyone in this world has a counterpart in that world. I am essentially the counterpart of Grandine from Edolas."
Shari's forehead broke out in a sweat, and she trembled slightly.
Happy, confused, asked, "Shari?"
Rod felt overwhelmed by the information. "Is this what they call a parallel world? Are you from a parallel world?"
Porlyusica explained, "I came to this world by accident a few decades ago and was saved by Makarov. After living in this world, which is called Earthland, for some time, I grew to like it. So even though I had a few chances to return, I decided to stay."
Rod looked at her, trying not to laugh. The old grump, always saying she hates this and that, but in the end, she couldn't bear to leave.
Porlyusica suddenly shouted in Rod's ear, "Don't make such a disgusting face!"
"Ow..." Rod rubbed his ear. This old lady was just like the guild master when she yelled.
No wonder Master Goldmine said they had a thing going on.
Natsu asked, "I don't understand, but is the Igneel from that world also human? Has he ever met Igneel?"
"I don't know; I don't recognize that name." Porlyusica's attitude toward Natsu and Wendy was completely different. It was like one was Makarov's troublesome child, and the other was his beloved granddaughter.
"Anyway, the Sky Dragon said that if I ever met you, I should give you this. That's all. You can go now."
Porlyusica made a move to close the door but then paused. "Those magic arts are very difficult. Don't push yourself too hard."
The wooden door closed, and Wendy bowed deeply toward the cabin, tears in her eyes. "Thank you, Porlyusica!"
After a moment, she called out, "Grandine!"
Behind the door, Porlyusica smiled.
Outside, Natsu sat on the ground, looking dejected. "In the end, we still didn't get any information about Igneel."
Rod sat down next to him, trying to cheer him up. "Think positively. If someone could communicate with the Sky Dragon, then it's possible someone could have communicated with the Fire Dragon too."
His head was spinning. One world was confusing enough, and now there was another one to deal with.
Following the usual story progression, since Porlyusica is from Edolas and has a close relationship with the main characters, it's inevitable that their connection to Edolas will be explored further.
I wonder if the library has any information on this. I should check when I have the time.
Moreover, the only member of the main cast that Rod hasn't met through posters is Lucy. Does this mean that the true story of Fairy Tail is about to begin?
I need to focus on improving my strength.
"Charle, are you okay? Is something bothering you?" Wendy noticed that Charle seemed off.
"It's nothing, just the sudden mention of another world..."
"Yeah, it's so incredible!" Wendy was excited. "Even though it's not the same person, it's still great to meet another Grandine and see the magic book..."
Wendy felt that coming to Fairy Tail this time was the right decision.
"Thank you so much, Natsu and Rod!"
"Don't mention it. Thanks to you, I learned something incredible too," Rod said. "Wendy, are you planning to stay and play for a few days? If you need a tour guide, just let me know."
Happy muttered under his breath, "Like Rod himself knows this place well."
"I do now!"
Running around and shopping with Mira wasn't for nothing.
Wendy smiled. "Thanks, but we've been out for a while. If we don't go back soon, everyone will worry."
"True, we should go back and let the Master know, right?"
Wendy nodded. "Yes, and I need to say goodbye to Mira-jean properly."
What a polite child. This time, Rod dragged Natsu away.
Once the excitement wore off, Natsu seemed to be dealing with some after-effects.
Luckily, his face didn't turn purple.
...
"I see," Makarov said. "Would it be convenient to share your travel plans?"
"Huh?" Wendy was a bit confused but replied, "We plan to leave early tomorrow morning, take the train to the port, and then catch a boat back."
Makarov said, "In that case, I have a favor to ask."
Wendy said, "Please, go ahead. I'll do my best."
Makarov showed them a request form. "There's a job that needs to be done near Cait Shrine, but the mage who accepted it isn't familiar with the area.
Could you let him travel with you? All you need to do is show him the way, Wendy."
Wendy nodded. "Showing the way is no problem at all."
Makarov smiled. "Great, then I'll have him meet you at the train station tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir!"
Charle was a bit distracted and didn't pay attention to what they were saying, so she let Wendy agree without a word.
When they returned to the inn, Charle came back to her senses. "Why did you agree to such a strange request?"
"Because Rod, Natsu, Mira, and Master Makarov have helped me so much," Wendy said. "I want to return the favor."
"At least you should have asked who it is," Charle rubbed her forehead. "I hope it's not some weirdo."
...
After Wendy left, Rod asked curiously, "Why would you specifically ask Wendy and her friends to show the way? What kind of mission requires going so far?"
Makarov said, "Mira, give him the files."
"Sure." Mira handed over a file folder.
Rod was taken aback. "Ah? Can I really see this?"
Mira smiled. "Of course, because the Master plans to send you."
"What?"
