Chapter 49: Ur is My Homie!
A boat sailed on the sea.
To thank Ren and the others, the village chief on the island specially sent someone to take them off the island.
The person sending them off was the man who had brought Natsu and the others to the island before, the chief's son.
Restored to his human form now, he poled the boat across the ocean.
Sitting on the deck, the sea breeze gently brushed Ren's face.
Erza sat beside Ren, holding his arm, her head resting on his shoulder.
The sea breeze blew through Erza's scarlet long hair, making it flutter slightly.
"Ren, when Natsu gets back, will the Guild Master punish him?"
Looking up, she asked while gazing at Lucy's profile with some concern.
"Don't worry. The Guild Master has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although he'll punish Natsu severely, in the end, he'll turn big problems into small ones and small problems into nothing."
Ren reached out to gently rub Erza's scarlet hair, chuckling in reply.
Thinking about Ren's words, Erza also understood Makarov's character.
Covering her mouth and chuckling, she said, "That's true. The Master treats everyone in the guild like family. Even if there's punishment, it won't be severe."
Although Erza said this, Lucy nearby began to feel scared.
Trembling, she sat in the corner of the deck.
Gray, Lyon, and Ur sat in the cabin.
The two truthfully told Ur about what had happened over the years, like children away from home for years suddenly seeing their mother and pouring out the bitterness they had suffered.
Ur extended her ice-blue hands, devoid of warmth, and placed them gently on Gray and Lyon's heads.
With a gentle smile on her face, she said to the two, "You fellow disciples must get along well. In the days to come, you must walk side by side."
Gray and Lyon exchanged glances, seeing disdain in each other's eyes.
Both snorted coldly and turned their heads, refusing to look at each other.
Ur smiled, ignoring the antics of the two little guys in front of her.
Having been resurrected in this way, Ur was different from her past self.
Although the current Ur possessed new life and all her memories.
She now belonged to Ren.
"Ur, come back to Fairy Tail with me. We'll always be together from now on."
Suddenly, Gray looked up, saying expectantly to Ur.
"Hey, what nonsense are you spouting?! Ur is definitely going to be with me!"
Before Ur could answer, Lyon interrupted Gray directly, grabbing his collar and shouting loudly.
"Lyon! You wanted to destroy Ur before! I won't give Ur to you!"
Gray refused to show weakness, grabbing Lyon's clothes and shouting back.
In the narrow cabin, the two shoved each other back and forth.
Soon, the commotion inside the cabin attracted the attention of everyone outside.
Natsu lay unconscious on the deck, a large bump on his head.
Clearly knocked out by someone.
Erza walked into the cabin with an unfriendly expression, watching Gray and Lyon wrestling in a heap.
"Stop it!"
Erza shouted loudly, staring at the two with an unfriendly gaze.
Hearing Erza's voice, Gray subconsciously retracted his arm.
In the next instant, a fist smashed heavily onto Gray's face. Lyon looked disdainfully at Gray, who had been punched.
"Hmph, can't handle it?"
Lyon sneered coldly, proudly raising his head as he looked at the fist mark on Gray's face.
But before Lyon could be proud for long, he suddenly felt a sharp pain from behind.
Erza had unknowingly stood behind Lyon, smashing a fist heavily onto the back of his head.
Lyon turned around with a cold face, reaching out to touch the back of his head.
Then his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Idiot!"
Gray rubbed the spot on his face where he was punched, looking at Lyon knocked out by Erza with a sneer.
Not long after, the unconscious Lyon woke up groggily.
Seeing he was placed on the deck, with Gray and Ur sitting beside him.
Lyon rubbed the back of his head, frowning at the lingering pain.
Silently glancing at Erza nearby, he quickly looked away when her gaze swept over him.
"Ur, let's leave together after we get off the boat!"
The first thing the sober Lyon said was to Ur.
"Ur is coming back to Fairy Tail with me!"
Before Ur could answer, the two started arguing again.
If not for Erza's unfriendly gaze sweeping over them, they might have started fighting again.
Suddenly, a calm voice reached their ears.
"Seems like you've forgotten about me?"
Following the voice, they saw Ren lying lazily on the deck, raising his hand and smiling at the arguing duo.
"Ren, what do you mean by that?"
Gray frowned, suddenly having an ominous feeling in his heart.
"Ur won't go with anyone. Ur belongs to me now."
Ren grinned, looking at the arguing disciples.
As Ren's words fell, Lyon stood up abruptly with an unfriendly gaze.
Staring straight at Ren, he asked word by word, "What do you mean by 'belongs to you'? If you don't explain clearly, even if I can't beat you, I'll fight you!"
In Lyon's heart, Ur always came first. He wouldn't allow anyone to defile Ur.
"Exactly what it means."
Ren didn't care about Lyon's threat at all. Propping himself up, he sat up, a smile on his calm face.
"Hey, stop joking! Ur is a person! How could she belong to you!"
Standing on the deck, Lyon shouted angrily at Ren.
"Who told you Ur is a person now?"
Ren sneered coldly. Looking at the entirely ice-blue Ur, Ren continued, "Ur is now a Homie created by me. Although she possesses Ur's soul and memories, she is my Homie."
Ren's words reached everyone's ears, and even Erza fell silent.
"No way... Ren, isn't that going too far?"
Lucy covered her mouth, looking at the cold smile on Ren's face, her expression turning unpleasant.
Gray lowered his head, staring silently at the deck.
"Bastard!"
