Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Fairy Tail Collapsing Stars Chapter 342

Fairy Tail’s Inherited Lolicon Tendencies (Part 1)

…

With the conclusion of Fairy Tail’s S-Class Wizard Exam for this year, the group of young wizards returned to the guild under Makarov’s leadership…

During this time, Selene and Irene didn’t clash again, much to the relief of the entire guild.

Only Evan knew, this was merely the calm before the storm.

After the examinees returned, the already lively Fairy Tail Guild became even more vibrant.

And then, Natsu, one of the candidates for the X778 S-Class Exam, excitedly announced some shocking news,

“Ahahaha! Everyone in the guild, I have a secret to tell you, we actually have real, live dragons living among us!”

Standing on a table in the center of the guild hall, Natsu shouted with gleeful excitement.

“Huh?!”

His voice rang so loudly that everyone in the guild stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.

“Pffthahaha…”

Moments later, laughter erupted throughout the guild.

“Natsu, you’re saying there’s a dragon in the guild? Have you been drinking again?”

Macao, holding a wine glass, chuckled while glancing around the guild.

A dragon? Something that massive, how could he have missed it?

“It’s true! I saw it with my own eyes! And it’s not just one, Kurnugi, Evan, Irene, Selene, they’re all dragons! Especially Evan! He’s a giant Azure Dragon several hundred meters long, even bigger than the entire guild!”

Natsu hadn’t expected that by sharing such a secret, the others would only laugh at him.

“You’re saying Evan is a dragon?!”

Wakaba, puffing on his pipe, froze. He glanced over at Evan, who was chatting with Erza, both smiling and laughing, such a harmonious scene.

Then Evan turned and gave Wakaba a faint smile.

“Uh…”

Wakaba blinked and immediately smiled back.

Then, turning back to Natsu, he asked,

“Natsu, which eye of yours saw Evan as a dragon? Don’t tell me he beat you down during the exam?”

Stroking his beard, Wakaba looked curiously at Natsu.

“Uh, well…”

Natsu’s expression became a bit awkward under Wakaba’s question.

“Okay, yeah… I did face Evan as a proctor during the exam, and I lost. But that doesn’t change the fact that Evan’s really a dragon! I’m not lying!”

He hung his head as he confessed to the guild his defeat.

“No, no! If Evan is a dragon, then that’s perfect, Natsu!”

“Aren’t you a Dragon Slayer? Why didn’t you just use your magic and beat him up to pass the exam?”

Someone in the guild called out mockingly.

“Yeah! Exactly!”

“If Evan’s a dragon, you should’ve won!”

“You’re not just making excuses for losing, are you?”

“Hahahaha…”

As voices echoed and laughter erupted, Natsu’s frustration boiled over.

“Damn it! You guys don’t understand anything I’m saying!”

He shouted angrily, glaring down at the crowd.

“Aye~”

Just then, Happy, having just tried to impress Carla, spread his tiny wings and flew over to Natsu, landing on his head.

“Ugh… In the end, only Happy believes me!”

Natsu reached up to gently pet the blue cat on his head, snorting indignantly.

“Aye-sir~”

Happy raised a paw and gave his usual catchphrase.

In truth, Happy didn’t believe Natsu either. But because it was Natsu saying it, he was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt…

If someone else had said the same thing, Happy would’ve been laughing with the crowd.

“Idiot.”

Up on the guild’s second floor, the restricted area for S-Class wizards only, a tall, muscular young man with short blond hair leaned against the railing, looking down.

Laxus, clearly unimpressed, scoffed at Natsu’s antics.

Others who knew Evan’s true identity simply couldn’t be bothered to say anything…

Gildarts had long suspected it, and continued living his playful life teasing the younger girls.

Sierra was now even more afraid of Evan. She muttered to herself,

“No wonder my curse magic doesn’t work on him, he’s not even human!”

Mirajane, off in a quiet corner, pondered deeply,

“Evan’s a dragon? Then does that mean Erza could be one too? If I’m not a dragon, maybe I don’t match well with either of them…”

“No, sis… you’re missing the point…”

“We don’t care if you want to date Evan, that’s your choice…”

“But why are you thinking about whether you’re compatible with Erza too?!”

“Don’t tell me you want to date both of them?!”

“Are you… swinging both ways and planning to build a harem?!”

“Sis! After what happened with Gildarts, we can’t be degenerates!!”

Elfman and Lisanna, who had overheard Mirajane mumbling, were now crouched in the corner, trembling.

“Huh? What are you two whispering about?”

Mirajane blinked, glancing at them in confusion.

Meanwhile, Cana and Kagura had grown closer recently. Not long after returning to the guild, they went off on a mission together.

As for Ul’s family, they were currently undergoing intense training under Ultear’s supervision, after all, the New Year was approaching, and Ultear didn’t want anyone appearing nude in their family photo shoot again.

“That tomcat is hopeless!”

On the other side of the guild, Carla scoffed at Happy’s behavior and turned away in tsundere fashion.

“Maybe… just maybe… Natsu’s telling the truth…”

Wendy softly murmured, glancing at Carla.

“Wendy! Dragons don’t live in guilds, okay?!”

“If dragons did exist, they’d live deep in forests, in oceans, far from civilization, that’s just common sense!”

“Well… but in terms of power… Evan really is suspicious…”

Carla explained matter-of-factly, then faltered as she recalled the overwhelming power Evan displayed, especially that one terrifying punch against Nirvana.

To this day, Carla still dreamed about that punch.

Honestly, before meeting Evan, she never imagined that a mage could be so powerful, to the point of being downright inhuman.

“So even Carla admits Evan might actually be a dragon?”

Wendy’s eyes lit up.

“Ah, w-wait! I mean, just strength-wise, not literally!”

Carla panicked, trying to clarify.

She wasn’t ready to accept that Evan might actually be a dragon. Plus, she still didn’t trust Natsu all that much.

“I should just ask him myself!”

The tiny Wendy gathered her courage. She decided it was best to hear the truth directly from Evan.

So, as Evan sat at the bar chatting with Erza…

“Um, Evan… I have a question I want to ask you…”

A soft voice piped up behind him.

“Hm?”

Evan paused and swiveled his stool toward the voice.

“Oh? If it isn’t little Wendy! What’s up? Do you have something you want to ask me?”

Evan turned around and looked at the petite Wendy with a warm, gentle smile, the kind he used to give little Erza when she was younger.

“Hm?!”

Erza, who had been chatting with Evan, noticed his unusually tender smile and slightly furrowed her brows.

“Now that I think about it… isn’t Evan a bit too friendly with little girls?”

“Cana, Mirajane, Lisanna, Kagura…”

“And more importantly, he doesn’t seem to show the slightest interest in mature women like Selene-senpai, Ur-senpai, or even Sera…”

“Wait… don’t tell me… Evan’s a lolicon? That’s a crime!”

Erza’s expression shifted as she came to a troubling realization.

…

Fairy Tail’s Inherited Lolicon Tendencies (Part 2)

…

As Evan’s little sister, she feared her older brother had inherited Fairy Tail’s “glorious” tradition, and become yet another generational lolicon.

Just as Erza was worrying about Evan’s suspicious preferences…

“Um, Evan… didn’t you say that there are dragons hidden in the guild?”

“Then… can I ask… are you a dragon?”

Little Wendy mustered all her courage and looked Evan in the eyes, raising her voice to what she thought was a shout, but to everyone else, it was just normal volume.

“Yup~”

Evan smiled and gently patted Wendy’s head twice.

“Eh?! You really are a dragon?!”

Wendy’s eyes went wide in shock. She hadn’t expected Evan to just admit it so casually.

“He’s not kidding? Evan’s really a dragon?”

“But… if Evan is a dragon, then that absurdly overwhelming power he used against Nirvana finally makes sense…”

Carla blinked in disbelief. She had only gone along with Wendy’s questions to humor her, she never expected to hit the truth by accident.

“Then… Evan… can you tell me… what happened to Grandine?”

Wendy’s small frame trembled, overwhelmed by emotion as she stared up at Evan and asked.

“The Sky Dragon Grandine, huh?”

“Wendy, maybe the dragon you’ve been searching for has been right beside you all along…”

“Anyway, if you really want answers about Grandine, you should go to the back mountain and ask our guild’s doctor, Porlyusica-senpai.”

“She might be able to tell you where Grandine has been all this time…”

Evan gently patted Wendy’s head again and gave her a direction to follow.

“Okay! Got it! Thank you, Evan!”

The tiny Wendy immediately leapt from her seat and landed on the ground, flashing a bright smile at Evan.

“Off you go~”

Evan waved at her with a smile from his chair.

“Thank you…”

Just then, a graceful female voice rang out in Evan’s mind, it belonged to none other than the Sky Dragon, Grandine herself.

“You’re welcome. It was a small favor. No need to thank me.”

Evan chuckled lightly in response.

What Wendy talked about with Porlyusica on the mountain was unknown to Evan.

But when Wendy returned later with a joyful smile, Evan knew she had learned what she needed.

Time passed, and just like that, the year X778 became history…

The new year, X779, arrived.

And today…

Was Fairy Tail’s most lively day yet, because Mavis, the guild’s founding master, had returned from Tenrou Island to celebrate with everyone.

“Everyone~! Have you been doing well lately?”

Dressed in a white dress, barefoot, Mavis sat beside Makarov and cheerfully waved her tiny fists at the gathered wizards.

“We’ve been great!!”

The guild members responded joyfully, they truly meant it. Life had been good.

“That’s all I wanted to hear~”

Mavis smiled softly, still just like she was in the past, barefoot, glowing with divine, fairy-like purity.

“Um… Master Mavis!”

“I… I’m sorry about the hot springs… I…”

“I made fun of your… your…”

Little Kagura’s face turned beet red as she clutched her tiny chest and apologized nervously to Mavis.

“Ahaha… It’s okay, I don’t mind at all~”

Mavis smiled as she gently touched her flat chest, but her eyes were lifeless, and the little wing-shaped ornament on her head drooped down, not exactly a picture of “not minding.”

“She totally minds!!”

“Wait, does even the First Master care about that?!”

“So… do all women care whether they’re… um, well-endowed?”

Makarov and the others stared at Mavis with strained expressions.

“Ahaha…”

“Sometimes I wonder… if I had been cursed just a bit later, maybe I would’ve developed more…”

Mavis tilted her head in thought.

She had often fantasized about what she’d look like as a tall, curvy, elegant woman with long legs and mature charm.

But alas…

That version of herself could only live in her imagination.

It would never be her reality.

And thinking that made her even more gloomy.

“What do we do?! What now?!”

“Laxus! Think of something to cheer up Master Mavis!”

Makarov was visibly distressed. He paced frantically before shouting at his grandson, his prized problem-solver.

“Are you kidding me, old man?!”

“You think I know how to cheer up girls?!”

Laxus froze, sweat beading on his forehead.

Honestly, even if Evan challenged him to a fight, he wouldn’t feel this much pressure.

Cheering up girls? That was not in his skillset.

“This is bad!”

Makarov grew more frantic. After all, this was Fairy Tail’s founding master, basically their living ancestor. They had to cheer her up!

“SLAM”

Just then, the guild’s doors burst open.

Warrod, Precht, Rob, Yajima, and Rest all walked into the guild hall.

“Master Precht! Warrod-senpai!”

“And Yajima, Rob, Rest, you’re all here? What about the Magic Council?”

Makarov blinked in surprise, then looked up at them in confusion.

“Jellal’s there now. That kid’s grown enough to handle things on his own.”

“When the young take over, us old-timers can finally relax…”

Warrod smiled warmly.

“Hmph. Just an old geezer acting wise,”

Precht grunted, clearly not in the mood for conversation.

Until, 

“Mavis…”

Warrod’s eyes welled up with tears as he looked at the barefoot girl sitting beside Makarov.

“Warrod… Precht… It’s been so long~”

Mavis, who had just been sulking moments ago, now beamed as she softly greeted them.

“Mavis…”

Even the aloof Precht could no longer contain his emotions.

Once again, they were greeted by that radiant smile, pure and kind, like the sun.

It felt like the gods of the world had poured all goodness into this barefoot girl in a dress.

She was like a real fairy, adorable, beautiful, pure, kind…

Even the darkness in Precht’s heart began to feel warm.
