Mard Geer was flustered, his hands and feet in a mess.
"No, no, no... Yuri helped me a lot too. Without his arrival, the current West District would still be a disorganized mess."
After saying this, he sighed again.
"The reason I originally gave the guild the name Fairy Tail was, first, because I learned about everything you all have done from Yuri, and I admired you greatly in my heart, so I wanted this guild to also become a place just like Fairy Tail."
"On the other hand, it was also at Yuri's request, to help him attract you all here."
"Now that you have already come to the door, that second mission can be considered completed."
"Rest assured, I will change the guild's name tomorrow."
This uncle takes 'reputation rights' quite seriously!
"That's not necessary!"
"In fact, I hope you can continue to use Fairy Tail as the guild's name."
Under Mard Geer's shocked and puzzled gaze, Weston smiled slightly.
"After our group leaves Edolas, our two guilds most likely won't have any more intersections, so there's absolutely no need to worry about the risks of 'sharing a name' or 'infringement'."
"But if a 'Transfer Incident' like Yuri's happens again..."
"When that time comes, I hope that whether in Ishgar or in Edolas, there can be a place that can serve as a safe harbor, or even a family and a home, so that those people who accidentally go to an alternate world won't be lost and confused because they are alone outside!"
Mard Geer suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! Master Weston is indeed thoughtful!! Since that's the case, then I shall accept your kindness..."
"There's one more thing!"
Weston extended his right hand toward Mard Geer, "Since we've already reached this step, let's go a step further and let the two 'Fairy Tails' become brother guilds!"
"This... This is our honor!!"
The matter of the two 'Fairy Tails' becoming brother guilds soon received everyone's approval.
That night, everyone gathered together and held a grand banquet to celebrate this once-in-a-century major event.
Starting from the next day, Weston's group stayed temporarily in Sika town according to the previous plan to help the new Fairy Tail grow and expand.
But after a few days, they found that this new guild didn't need any complex planning at all.
Sika town had never had an organization like a 'guild' in the past. Although there were existences similar to 'Odd Jobs' shops, those were, after all, individual businesses, unlike Fairy Tail which was platform-based in nature, so it was an extremely novel thing for the locals that they couldn't help but want to try.
With curiosity pushed to the max, there was also the celebrity effect.
Those 'Founders of Fairy Tail' in Edolas were all major celebrities locally or nearby, which in itself was very capable of attracting customers.
If one were to say they had any deficiencies, it was the issue of experience.
Fortunately, the appearance of Weston and the others made up for this deficiency.
They had accumulated rich experience in operating a guild over the past few years. Now, they were just providing guidance from the sidelines, and a few casual pointers greatly benefited the new guild.
Three days later, seeing that the new guild had stepped onto the right track and showed a trend of thriving day by day, Weston then gathered everyone and decided to proceed with the follow-up actions.
"We said we would investigate the 'Transfer Incident', but where specifically should we start?"
"Perhaps within the royal family, they might know something."
Thus, everyone bid farewell to Mard Geer and the others for the time being, left Sika town, and set out together toward the Royal Capital.
For this operation, they no longer relied on their legs, but instead rented a carriage in Sika town, which greatly increased their movement speed, and they arrived at their destination in just a few days.
The appearance of the Royal Capital was worlds apart from Sika town.
"Even though they are both 'Royal Capital' and 'local areas', I always feel the gap between here and Sika town is bigger than the gap between Crocus and Magnolia!"
Crocus was the Royal Capital of the Kingdom of Fiore.
Back then, after the Fiore Civil War, because they had to receive rewards from Her Majesty, the people from the guild had gone there once, so they could be considered people who had seen the big city.
Therefore, coming to the Royal Capital of Edolas this time, they wouldn't lose their composure like country folk entering a village.
"This is probably the biggest difference between a world with magic and a world without magic!"
In Ishgar, magic power has firmly held the position of the 'mainstream energy source' since ancient times.
Because of its omnipresent nature, the speed of technological dissemination across the entire world far exceeds the speed of technological evolution. Before technology can evolve to the next stage, most areas have already been covered by existing technology, so the gap between the Royal Capital and local areas is relatively small.
But Edolas is not like that!
There is no magic power in the natural world here, so the technological level still has to follow normal laws, evolving slowly step by step. Coupled with the slow speed of technological dissemination and relatively low productivity, the gap between the Royal Capital and local areas becomes relatively large.
In Weston's eyes, between Crocus and Magnolia, there was only about a ten-year gap; but between this city before them and Sika town, the gap was at least over fifty years.
If they wanted to accelerate development, it would be unless they were like the future King Faust, introducing magic power from the outside as a new energy source.
Just as everyone was enjoying the bustle of the Royal Capital on the street, a burst of rhythmic footsteps came from a distance and was quickly approaching.
By the time everyone reacted, an army had already appeared within their field of vision.
The person in the lead had a thin, short, and slender build, similar to Makarov, but had a head that was over three times the size of his height.
Looking closer, it turned out this wasn't an actual head, but rather a huge hairstyle, like a blooming flower, created on the head.
The original height plus this 'flower hairstyle' only just allowed him to reach the height of a normal person.
Overall, it looked slightly comical and ridiculous.
"Captain of the Third Squad of the Kingdom's Army, Warrod Kenney, pays respects to His Highness the Prince!"
This person who suddenly popped out gave everyone present a huge shock.
After looking closely, it felt even more amusing.
"No way?!"
"Could this person be... Warrod's counterpart?"
Everyone looked at the other person several times in shock, and then all turned their heads to look at the Warrod standing in their midst, unable to help but compare the two.
The features of the two were almost identical, but the face shape, body shape, and hair were completely opposite.
In terms of clothing, they were also completely different.
Warrod liked to wear white and green-toned clothes, because those were colors representing nature and green plants;
But the Warrod of Edolas was dressed in many colors, with red, yellow, and pink everything on his clothes, as if he were wearing Picasso's abstract series of oil paintings on his body.
If it weren't for someone very familiar with Warrod, it would be really hard to recognize at first glance that they had the same face.
"Oh no!"
"Look quickly, everyone, Warrod has turned into a flower!!"
