Chapter 34: True Partners
"Wow, this Saint Cloth is so over-the-top!"
Early in the morning, Moen's biological clock woke him up.
He slipped out alone, and while completing his daily morning training tasks, he also tried on the newly acquired Saint Cloth.
The white Saint Cloth is adorned with purple patterns, and white ribbons flutter behind the shoulder armor on both sides. It is a bit over-the-top, but it is undeniably cool. This is hardly the configuration of a Bronze Saint Cloth.
Moen sensed the enhancement effect of the Saint Cloth, which was similar to that of the Equuleus Bronze Saint Cloth, currently only having the most basic effects.
The main improvements are in physical fitness, magic efficiency, and the protective effect of the Saint Cloth armor itself.
To unlock other functions of the Saint Cloth, it is indeed necessary to establish a stable connection with the constellations in the sky.
After experiencing the feeling of moving the stars and resonating with the constellations in the night sky several times, Moen became increasingly certain that his application of the Saint Cloth and his skills was still in its early stages.
"The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere in my pursuit!"
After giving himself a pep talk, Moen packed up and returned to the dilapidated village.
When I opened the dormitory door, Gerald was already up, while Grandpa Makarov was still fast asleep, probably having a sweet dream. Even his snot bubbles were forming, growing larger and smaller with his breathing.
Good morning, Gerald.
Moen greeted Gerald with a smile.
Seeing Moen's flushed appearance, Gerald roughly guessed what he had gone to do, and the young man looked somewhat surprised.
"Good morning, Moen. Do you get up this early every day?"
Gerald asked, somewhat curious.
Have you ever seen Magnolia at four in the morning?
Moen replied with a serious expression.
"what?"
Gerald was clearly taken aback.
"I've seen Magnolia at every four in the morning."
Moen spoke again, his expression barely able to contain himself.
"..."
Gerald was speechless for a moment. He roughly understood what Moen wanted to express; it probably meant working hard every day.
After teasing Gerald for a bit, Moen stopped bothering him and moved on to another target.
Moen went to the bedside where Grandpa Makarov was sleeping, picked up a small stick next to him, and popped Grandpa Makarov's ever-changing snot bubble with a "snap".
"Ouch!"
Grandpa Makarov woke up with a start. He looked at Moen, who was holding a small stick by the bedside, and was furious.
"You brat! I was having a wonderful dream!"
So close! Just a little bit more! I'm so angry!
Makarov was so angry that he jumped off the bed, his body rapidly swelling until it almost reached the roof, transforming from a short old man into a giant god!
Meanwhile, Moen had already dashed out of the dormitory, making a hasty retreat, leaving Gerald standing there dumbfounded, watching everything unfold.
"Good morning, Chairman Makarov."
Gerald swallowed hard and spoke nervously. Chairman Makarov, in a fit of rage, looked quite intimidating.
This terrifying sense of oppression truly befits the guild master of "Fairy Tail"! His strength is frighteningly powerful!
Seeing the surprised expression on Gerald's face, Makarov's form changed back, and he transformed back into the kind old man.
"Ahem, good morning, Gerald. Let's go see if that little girl is awake. If she is, then we should set off."
Makarov coughed twice to ease the awkwardness. He quickly put on his clothes and spoke to Gerald before walking outside with his hands behind his back.
Gerald quickly followed, and when the two of them arrived at the door of Wendy's room, Moen was already waiting there.
"You brat!"
Upon seeing Moen, Makarov merely glared at him but did nothing more, while Moen apologized to him with a grin.
"I won't do it again next time. I'll definitely let you finish your sweet dream!"
Moen tried his best to keep a straight face. He didn't dare to think about what Grandpa Makarov was dreaming about; it was probably a bit inappropriate for children.
Makarov laughed too, shaking his head helplessly, too lazy to argue with Moen.
"Squeak."
The old door opened, and a small figure pushed it open and walked out. Wendy was rubbing her eyes with both hands, still half asleep.
"Splat!"
Wendy bumped into Moen, who looked up, slightly bewildered.
"Big brother! You're back?!"
Upon realizing that the person she had bumped into was Moen, Wendy immediately snapped out of it. Her expression turned to surprise, and her big eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"Look who this is!"
Moen stepped aside, revealing Gerald. Although Gerald was a year older than him, Moen was actually a bit taller.
"Geralt!"
Wendy was clearly delighted to see Gerald, and then she immediately looked at the old man Robin standing behind her.
Grandpa Robin Lu woke her up and told her there was a surprise waiting for her, and it really was a big surprise!
"Go with them, Wendy, to Fairy Tail."
Seeing Wendy looking at him, Robin smiled and slowly opened his mouth, giving Wendy the freedom to leave. He had no reason to keep Wendy any longer, even though he had created a fictitious guild for her.
"But...but, everyone at the Demon Cat's Lodge..."
Wendy hesitated a little, because the day she spent together yesterday had already made her friends with everyone at "Cat's Abode".
The thought of leaving everyone made her feel a little reluctant. Everyone at "Demon Cat's Abode" had been very, very kind to her!
"Come with me."
Seeing Wendy's state, Robin spoke with a smile, leading the way and bringing everyone to the village entrance.
At this moment, everyone from "Demon Cat's Abode" had gathered, men, women, and children, standing behind Robin Lue.
"Demon Cat's Abode" was the name Robin Lu came up with for this guild on the spur of the moment. There was no other way; even the guild members were created on the spot, so he really didn't have time to think of a proper name.
'To have created an entire guild just for one person, that's truly remarkable.'
Looking at those thoughts, Moen thought to himself, "Is Robin Lue going to confront Wendy directly?"
"Wendy, go with them. There you'll find what you're looking for, true companions who can stay by your side."
Standing in front of the spirits, Robin spoke gently, waving to Wendy. The spirits behind him did the same, smiling gently as they bid farewell to Wendy, but their figures did not disappear.
"Whenever you want to come back, you can come to the Demon Cat Inn to play with everyone again."
Robin Lu smiled and spoke kindly.
But his words shocked both Moen and Makarov. Did this old man really intend to keep the "Cat's Nest" guild going for Wendy's sake?
