Chapter 230: President, we've caused trouble
Chapter 230: President, we've caused trouble
Luo De caught her hand, "We encountered a bit of an accident, but I'm almost fully recovered. It's nothing serious."
Mila quickly pulled her hand away.
This touched on a blind spot in Luo De's knowledge.
He had hugged her several times and even walked around town with her arm linked through his, but holding hands was a no-go.
He couldn't understand it.
But there was no rush; that day would come eventually.
Mila seemed to realize her overreaction, both in terms of her physical and emotional response. She whispered, "Let me see your wound later."
Luo De looked at her and said, "It's also about time to change the bandages."
"Okay," Mila nodded lightly, "Should we talk about the mission now?"
"Let's have the president listen in as well. The situation is a bit complicated," Luo De said, noticing that Erusha had finished her work and was ready for a small meeting.
"So serious?" Mila became even more worried about Luo De's injuries.
Luo De gave her a helpless look.
The situation was destined to be the worst from the beginning. If they hadn't gone, who knows how many people in the nearby towns would have died.
Of course, their actions might have contributed to the problem, using exorcism, detoxification, and healing magic on Liss without proper consideration.
This likely provoked the demon, accelerating its erosion of the seal.
However, if it had been allowed to break free on its own, its power might have been even greater this time.
So it was hard to say it was entirely their fault.
Mila was eager to know what had happened. She ran up the stairs, dragging the still-sleeping President down.
Erusha and Natsu were already waiting at the counter.
One looked serious, the other a bit impatient but dared not to resist.
Happi and Worm were communicating in their unique way, discussing how to divide the fish.
Makarov, as usual, sat cross-legged on the counter, "What's so serious?"
Luo De thought for a moment before speaking, "President, we've caused trouble."
"Hisss..." Makarov drew in a sharp breath, clutching his chest, "Mila, bring me my medicine."
"Okay."
Makarov was 88 years old this year. Although he was a Saint Ten Magic Master, he was still an elderly man.
He had always had some heart problems, so Porlyuska prepared some daily and emergency medications for him.
Luo De, who was usually so reliable, speaking so seriously about causing trouble, meant the problem was not small.
Makarov felt he needed to take some precautions... When did he start immediately thinking about precautions?
Putting that aside, let's analyze calmly. Natsu causing trouble was normal, and his destructive power was expected.
Erusha, on the other hand, usually didn't cause trouble, but her occasional absent-mindedness could lead to some losses, sometimes not less than Natsu's.
Natsu and Erusha together causing trouble... Even Luo De couldn't handle it?
Ultimately, why did these three form a team?
"President," Mila brought over a medicine bottle.
The President clutched it tightly, even opening the cap in advance, "Speak."
"Um..." Luo De pondered for a moment, "Do you want to hear the bigger issue first or the smaller one?"
"Both big and small?!" Makarov almost jumped up.
This meant they had caused more than one problem? He decided to hear the smaller one first to prepare mentally.
"The smaller issue is that we beat up over thirty people from Phantom Lord's branch on our way back," Luo De said.
Makarov let out a sigh of relief. Just beating up a few dozen people wasn't too big of a problem.
However, his expression quickly turned serious again: "The injuries on your bodies, were they caused by them?"
"That's impossible!" Natsu quickly answered, "Those guys, I could easily send them flying!"
Makarov nodded, relieved that the children hadn't suffered. He then asked about the cause of the conflict.
Luo De explained in detail.
Mila was a bit surprised, not expecting that it had anything to do with her. Thinking about it, it had been so long since they had all gone to the capital together.
"Phantom Lord..." Makarov frowned, these guys were truly persistent, "It's fine. They started the conflict, so even if it gets reported to the Council, they'll be the ones in trouble."
There was a treaty among guilds that prohibited the use of force. Violators would either have to write a letter of apology if the issue was minor, or face dissolution if it was severe.
After all, the ones who started the trouble would suffer the most.
If the trouble Luo De mentioned was at this level, it was completely acceptable.
"Wait a moment, did you destroy anything while fighting them?"
Luo De replied, "In the middle of nowhere, there wasn't much to destroy. At most, we created a few holes in the road and flattened some flowers and grass."
That was good, Makarov took a deep breath, "Go on, what was the bigger issue?"
"During the mission, we encountered a demon breaking free from its seal, and we worked together to defeat it."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Erusha added, "But strictly speaking, we entered the sealed area without permission, and during the battle, we leveled two mountains."
"Two... two mountains..."
"Ahahaha..." Natsu grinned proudly, only to receive a thump on the head.
Luo De and Erusha carefully explained the cause of the incident.
"This matter..." Makarov thought for a moment, "Although it violates some of the Council's regulations, ultimately, the responsibility lies with them."
Makarov felt that the Council should thank Fairy Tail for solving a major problem for them.
It was just a matter of how the troublesome councilors would think.
Just then, Marcus rushed over, "President, it's bad! There are a lot of Council members outside!"
"What?"
The timing of their arrival was suspicious, and the few at the counter easily guessed they were there for them.
However, before they could panic, the people in the tavern were already in a state of chaos. Some were trying to escape, while others were frantically reflecting on what they might have done recently to cause trouble.
Some even exaggeratedly told their friends what they should do if they were caught.
Makarov wasn't scared by the Council or the incident Luo De described; instead, he was shocked by the reactions of the people in the tavern.
What kind of trouble had these rascals been getting into outside!
Amidst the small commotion, someone clapped their hands, "Please remain calm. I am a messenger from the Council. Everyone must stay still."
Everyone turned to the door, where a person wearing a tall hat and uniform walked in. Upon closer inspection, it was evident that the person's hands and face were frog-like.
Outside the open guild doors, a squad of Council enforcers in white robes stood waiting.
Luo De wasn't overly surprised; in the world of magic, encountering a frog person was reasonable.
He wondered if this person would be reasonable to talk to. Maybe he should summon a magic swamp frog to see if they could connect?
"Regarding the large-scale battle that occurred on the kingdom's north coast a few days ago, you are hereby charged with several offenses, including destruction of property and unauthorized entry into a Council-controlled area. Elza, Luo De, Natsu, and others are ordered to report to the Council branch for investigation. Any resistance will result in forced action. That is all."
