Dozens of meters up in the sky, a ripple suddenly appeared, breaking the original silence.
The ripple slowly spread out, twisting into a gigantic vortex under the effect of magic power.
The next moment.
With a "bang," several figures fell out of the vortex, plunging straight toward the ground!
"Oh no!!"
"Why is it in the air?!"
Thud thud thud!!
Precht, Warrod, and Edolas-Yuri crashed to the ground one after another.
Amid the cries of alarm, a surge of magic power suddenly rippled outward.
"Letter Magic: Float!"
Buzz—
The magic transformed into a levitating force, gently supporting the bodies of Weston, Zera, and Mavis as they drifted down like falling leaves.
With a light "pat" sound.
Weston's toes lightly touched the grass, and immediately after, he stretched both hands toward the sky.
Mavis and Zera, like two fairies descending from the heavens, slowly fell into his arms.
Weston: Hehe~
Mavis, Zera: Shy shy~ o(////▽////)q
Precht, Warrod, Edolas-Yuri: #Angry#!!
Only after their feet touched the ground did everyone finally feel at ease.
Zera stepped on the ground a few times with her newly bought little white boots while complaining about Weston's negligence. "Honestly, couldn't you open the exit of this transfer magic on the ground?"
Weston, however, didn't care at all. "As long as it wasn't opened underground or in the deep sea, that's already not bad!"
Mavis, as usual, stood on Weston's side and spoke up for him. "Alright, alright. Weston has only just mastered this space magic not long ago, Zera, don't complain anymore…"
While the three were talking, the others who had come along were also curiously observing their surroundings.
Precht faced an open patch of ground and tried to fire a magic bullet, but the magic he used so freely in the past produced no reaction at all.
"Indeed, magic can't be used…"
"So this is the difference between Edolas and Earthland?"
Warrod stood to the side, closing his eyes as he quietly sensed the surrounding environment. "Mm… the air is much cleaner than in Ishgar. Why is that?"
"I think it's probably because the people of this world don't abuse magic."
Edolas-Yuri came over to the two of them and voiced his opinion. "During my time in Earthland, I could feel that the air was filled with abundant and highly active magic power. This certainly greatly enhances the combat strength of Wizards, but for nature, having such chaotic magic may not necessarily be a good thing."
"Why is that?" Warrod looked at him in confusion.
"In Edolas, there has always been an old saying. Powerful magic power brings disaster!"
"In the past, I couldn't understand this sentence, but now I understand it a little."
"Magic power is an extremely powerful form of energy. Once it is abused, it will cause extremely serious damage to the environment."
"When all is said and done, so-called magic is something like a double-edged sword!"
"I heard that a few years ago, Earthland experienced a war, and in the later stages of the war, because magic guilds participated, the number of casualties was dozens of times higher than in the early stages. Isn't that the best interpretation of that old saying?"
"Edolas is different from Earthland. Most areas are in a low-magic-power or even no-magic-power state, and there are no Wizards like you. Naturally, the air quality is much cleaner."
Warrod hadn't expected that he had merely mentioned that the air was good, and Edolas-Yuri would extend it into such a long explanation.
"Why does it sound like you're feeling quite emotional about it?"
Edolas-Yuri paused, then smacked his lips. "Can't be helped. As a prince, I was educated from a young age to express 'opinions' on all kinds of issues and phenomena. Even if I originally had no thoughts, I still had to say a few words, and now it's become a habit."
"…I see."
In order to bring Yuri back, and also to take the rare opportunity to experience an "otherworld adventure," several veterans of Fairy Tail had set out this time.
As for Edolas-Yuri, he was originally from Edolas and was also a prince here. He had only been accidentally transferred to Earthland, so of course he had to take this opportunity to return together.
Suddenly, Precht took out a bottle from his chest, poured out a pill, and swallowed it.
Immediately after.
Snap!!
A magic bullet shot out from his hand and struck the ground, instantly leaving a shallow crater.
Before coming to Edolas, Weston had already explained to everyone that magic could not be used normally in this world. He had also specifically gone to the magic merchant guild to purchase pills that could alter the flow of magic power, letting everyone take them in advance.
This was also the reason why Weston was able to use magic as soon as he arrived in Edolas.
However, Precht had not taken it beforehand in order to experience the difference between the two worlds.
"Mm… so this is what it feels like!"
"The air of this world isn't completely devoid of magic power, there's just very little of it. So if you want to use magic normally, you have to slightly change the way magic power circulates…"
"This is really a great experience!"
After saying that, Precht suddenly took out paper and pen from his chest and started writing furiously.
Seeing this scene, Warrod helplessly covered his forehead.
"Honestly, that Precht fellow really doesn't rest for even a moment when it comes to magical research!"
"The main purpose of us coming to Edolas this time isn't to let him do research, but to bring Yuri back!"
Weston walked over with Zera and laughed heartily.
"Forget it, Warrod!"
"Don't you know Precht by now? That's just his personality!"
"If he doesn't finish his experiment, he probably won't even sleep well at night. We do need to find Yuri, but it's not like we're short on this little bit of time."
"We might as well wait until we find Yuri and then leave him alone here to experiment to his heart's content…"
"That kind of thing is out of the question!"
Precht immediately cut off Weston's joke, put away the paper and pen, and walked over.
"Where should we go to find Yuri now?"
Warrod looked toward Weston. "Weston, you should have a way to find him, right?"
"Of course!"
Weston nodded. "Based on the residual magic fluctuations at the marketplace, I can basically be certain that the 'transfer' phenomenon that occurred between the two Yuris was not a simple 'teleportation,' but rather a kind of 'spatial exchange.'"
"Simply put, Yuri went to the location where Edolas-Yuri was at the time, and Edolas-Yuri came to the location where Yuri was."
"So…"
As soon as he heard this, Edolas-Yuri understood.
"Back then, I fainted by the river outside Sika town."
"If the situation is really as you say, then we only need to head to Sika town and ask around a bit to see if anyone resembling Yuri has appeared there, and we should be able to get clues!"
