Perhaps because of the Fairy Tail marks they wore, or perhaps because of their identical appearances, the Edolas Fairy Tail members quickly accepted Drake and the others, even becoming fast friends.
"Put it on!"
"Take it off!"
This exchange was between the shirtless Gray and the Edolas Gray, who seemed to be wearing countless layers of clothing.
"This world's Gray-sama is like this? How enviable!"
"Hey! Don't use such a sickening honorific!"
This was the interaction between the two Juvias.
"How can a man do such a thing?!"
"My sincerest apologies!"
This was the exchange between the two Elfmans.
"You're my other-world self, but why do you look so weak?"
Edolas Lucy, with a delinquent air, had her arm around Lucy. The already timid Lucy could only offer an awkward smile; she clearly couldn't handle her counterpart from another world.
Wendy, looking at Edolas Wendy, who was considerably larger, was filled with envy. However, the thought of her future self being so strong invigorated her.
Natsu, gripping Edolas Natsu's shoulders, said seriously, "I'm serious, tell me how to avoid motion sickness!"
Edolas Natsu was completely different in and out of vehicles. Unlike Natsu, he was confident in vehicles but cowardly outside.
Natsu had made Lucy suffer, but in Edolas, Edolas Natsu was constantly bullied by Edolas Lucy.
The two Mirajanes walked hand-in-hand. The Mirajane whose personality changed after the accident was identical to Edolas Mirajane.
Freed and the others, who didn't have counterparts, said, "Are these all the guild members in this world?"
Edolas Mirajane fell silent, then looked sad. "Probably."
The Edolas members also looked sad.
Drake and the others fell silent.
Earthland Fairy Tail had many members. Even if some didn't join due to the different worlds, the number difference was too large.
Those missing members were likely… victims of the kingdom's purge.
Mirajane lightened the mood. "Speaking of which, this world's Erza is Fairy Tail's enemy; unbelievable!"
Edolas Lucy said, "It's the other way around; we were shocked to see Erza as a comrade! She's been hunting us."
Erza commented, "I'll take on this Erza! I want to see what she can do."
Edolas Mirajane suddenly turned to Drake. "But what surprised us most was that in your world, Drake is also a Fairy Tail comrade."
The Edolas members nodded; this world's Drake was mysterious; they couldn't imagine him joining Fairy Tail.
Drake was also curious; the Edolas Drake didn't appear in the original story.
Natsu curiously asked, "What's Edolas Drake like?"
Edolas Lucy cleared her throat. "Let me explain! Our Drake is amazing.
Drake Arclight first appeared as a genius mage, quickly gaining the king's favor, becoming the head of the royal knights.
He rose from a rising star to the kingdom's sword and shield, but a few years ago, he suddenly rebelled. His revolutionary army almost conquered half the kingdom.
But then he was betrayed; a trusted subordinate stole his magic, and he was arrested and imprisoned in the kingdom's most secure prison. No one knows if he's alive or dead; the king forbade mentioning him.
But we're a dark guild; we don't care about that."
Drake was stunned; Edolas Drake had done a lot. A revolutionary army… It was clear what kind of organization it was.
It seemed Edolas Drake tried to raise a flag of revolution! Unfortunately, lacking revolutionary experience, he ultimately failed.
But this suggested Edolas Drake wasn't a time traveler. A ruthless time traveler wouldn't use such a blunt method.
With Edolas's backward political structure, a time traveler, as head of the royal knights, could have easily taken over the country.
While Drake was pondering his Edolas counterpart, everyone else looked at him with complex expressions.
Drake quickly waved his hands. "You all saw; despite the same appearance, people from both worlds are different.
So Edolas Drake's actions have nothing to do with me."
Everyone nodded in agreement. For example, Gray couldn't believe his counterpart always wore so many clothes and chased after Juvia.
At that moment, the guild doors were pushed open from the outside.
"We're back from shopping!"
Mirajane, Elfman, Natsu, and Happy jumped up; they were very familiar with that voice. They'd heard it countless times in their dreams over the past two years.
While the others weren't as dramatic, they all lost their composure. Lucy, Wendy, and Carla looked confused.
Drake looked at the white-haired girl entering; he understood their reaction.
Three years ago, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna went on a mission.
Their target was a powerful monster, but it was too strong; even Mirajane was defeated.
Elfman absorbed the monster's soul, but the overwhelming power caused him to go berserk. In his unconscious state, he attacked Lisanna.
Afterward, Fairy Tail's hot-tempered S-class mage, Mirajane, disappeared, leaving only a gentle receptionist.
Elfman also struggled to fully control his Beast Soul magic because of the incident.
And it was all because Lisanna disappeared without a trace.
Lisanna was also Natsu's childhood friend and the one who hatched Happy with Natsu.
Seeing this person, presumed dead for two years, made it impossible for them to remain calm.
"Lisanna!!!"
Mirajane cried, rushing to hug Lisanna; Elfman then hugged them both.
"Mirajane, Elfman, what's wrong?"
Lisanna's shopping bags fell to the ground. She was about to speak when she noticed the unusual situation within the guild.
She was sure she wasn't mistaken, but why were there so many identical people in the guild?
Tears streamed down Lisanna's face, wetting her hair and clothes. Lisanna looked towards Edolas Mirajane and Edolas Elfman, who were smiling gently in the distance, as if a realization had dawned upon her.
