On the other side.
"Alright, it's not like we'll never see each other again. Didn't your brother Zeros just promise to come to the guild to see you? I believe we'll see him again soon."
Seeing the dejected look on her sister's face as soon as she left, Mirajane immediately went over to comfort her.
"Hmm." Lisanna nodded, but the dejected look on her face showed no sign of disappearing. Seeing this, Mirajane could only sigh inwardly, knowing that Lisanna probably wouldn't recover anytime soon.
Actually, not to mention Lisanna, she herself was also a little frustrated at this moment, but compared to the straightforward and simple-minded Lisanna, she hid these emotions better.
But just as Mirajane was feeling a little melancholy, Lisanna suddenly turned around, looked at her, and said, "Sister Mirajane, I've noticed you've changed so much!"
Elfman then suddenly leaned over and interjected, "I think so too. Mirajane seems like a completely different person!"
Upon hearing this, Mirajane gently tucked a strand of white hair behind her ear and smiled faintly, "Really?"
Lisanna nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, Mira has become so gentle!"
"So you mean I wasn't gentle before?"
"Oh dear, Mira, that's not what I meant..."
"What does that mean...?"
"What I mean is... Mirajane has become gentler than before... Oh, Mirajane, you're bullying me..."
"..."
The two sisters chatted happily, one after the other, and the sudden change of topic dispelled much of the gloom between them.
Neither the two sisters chatting happily at that moment, nor Zeros traveling alone on the other side, could have imagined that they would not see each other again for two whole years after this parting.

Time flies, and the days pass in the blink of an eye.
Two years later.
This is a dark and gloomy wasteland. It is located in a remote area with a harsh environment. Most people who come near here will turn around without hesitation and choose to take a detour when they see the scene.
However, in such a place, a mage guild is hidden.
Deep in the wilderness, on a small hill, amidst jagged rocks, stands a building of modest size.
The fact that the guild would build its base in such a desolate and uninhabited place directly proves that this is not an ordinary guild, but rather—a dark guild.
Today, however, this usually deserted dark guild has a special guest.
On the small hill, inside the small building, various noisy sounds kept coming from. a dozen men dressed in different clothes sitting scattered around inside the building.
They were all eating meat and drinking wine heartily, and some were even boasting about their "rich" achievements.
On these people's bodies, whether on their arms, backs, or even faces, there is a similar blood-red wave pattern.
This design is the emblem of their guild, the infamous Crimson Tide, a notorious dark guild in the area.
Crimson Tide is one of the many dark guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, and is a guild under the "Heart of the Devil," which is one of the iron triangle of the dark guild alliance "Baram Alliance."
While these members of 'Crimson Tide' were eating, drinking, having fun, and chatting in the guild, none of them noticed that a figure had quietly arrived outside their guild.
At that moment, a beam of light suddenly shone in, making the previously dim guild interior much brighter.
The sudden light immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the guild, who all stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes toward it.
Then they were surprised to find that their guild gate had 'disappeared' at some point, and the light was shining in from the completely open guild gate.
Moreover, in front of the guild gate, a tall and slender figure stood there, the sunlight shining on him and casting a long shadow on the ground.
Through the dazzling sunlight, they could see that the man was dressed in a black robe. Although nearly half of his face was covered by the robe, they could still vaguely make out that he was a very young-looking man.
"Who are you! How dare you trespass into our guild? Don't you know where you are?!"
Soon, a burly man stepped out of the guild and stood in front of everyone, shouting loudly.
