Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 201: Erik's Wish

It had been a week since Evan helped the Heartfilia Family gather the twelve Celestial Spirit Keys of the Twelve Celestial Spirit. During this week, Evan did not go to the guild to accept missions. Evan, who came back from the Western Continent, was a little tired, so he had been helping Irene to watch the shop, occasionally doing housework, resting, and adjusting his condition. After all, he had to work and rest, and he would not be nervous all the time.

With Evan's help, not only did Layla gather the original key of the Twelve Celestial Spirit, but she also obtained the thirteenth key of the Twelve Celestial Spirit. It could be considered as completing the mission that Zeref gave him.

It was also because of the mission that Zeref gave him.

[Sudden Mission: Support the descendant of the Heartfilia Family, Layla, open the Eclipse Gate and let Natsu and the others safely come to this world...]

[Mission Reward: Open the Eclipse Gate and obtain a 10 Year Quest Medal!]

[Sudden Mission: A wish from the future! Help the current descendant of Heartfilia, Layla, gather all the keys to the Twelve Celestial Spirit so that she doesn't have to damage her magic. She will successfully survive after opening the Eclipse Gate.]

[Mission Reward: One10 Year Quest Medal!]

It was only after Layla had completely opened the Eclipse Gate that he could settle the score, so Evan did not receive the mission reward.

However, these two 10 Years Quest Medals were already set in stone, so Evan was not in a hurry. Moreover, he had already made an agreement with Layla that they would meet again in the 7th month of the 17th year. Evan would witness Layla open the Eclipse Gate and completely witness the completion of her mission.

After Evan completed the collection of Celestial Spirit Keys of the Twelve Celestial Spirits, the Magic Council summoned Evan. The reason was that Erik hoped that Evan would fulfill his promise, although Evan did not know what she had promised.

In this regard, Evan still went to the Magic Council. After all, if the five kids suddenly made a fuss, it would be enough for Evan to drink a pot of water.

It was just after Evan finished with the Chariman's task that he went to the Magic Council not long after.

"You... Jellal..."

Evan went directly to Jellal and the kid's lounge. At the moment, there were only Jellal and Erik in the lounge. The others were either sleeping or training.

"Brother Evan..."

After looking at Evan, Jellal's eyes lit up with stars. It seemed that he did not expect to see Evan so soon.

"Bastard Evan, you're finally here. So when are you going to fulfill your promise to me?"

After seeing Evan, the frown on Erik's face seemed to ease a little.

"So what's with the so-called promise?"

Evan glanced at Erik and then turned to look at Jellal, asking Jellal what was going on with his promise.

"I can't answer this question either."

After listening to Evan, Jellal scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly. He didn't seem to know how to explain the situation to Evan.

"Don't try to deny it! Evan..."

Behind Jellal, the original five children, Erik, was staring at Evan. He seemed to be afraid that Evan would go back on his word. Just like before, he still couldn't hear Evan's thoughts. In other words, he didn't know what Evan was thinking and whether she would help him complete his long-cherished wish. Therefore, he was extremely nervous.

"I won't deny it..."

"But the premise is that I really promised something."

"The problem is in my memory. I don't remember promising anything to you."

Evan shook his head after listening to Erik. Although Evan would not deny it, he at least had to know what he had promised. In his memory, he did not remember what he had promised to Erik.

"You..."

Erik frowned after hearing Evan's words. He seemed to be very irritable.

"Hehe, Evan, you really did not promise anything to Erik..."

"I made a promise to Erik on your behalf. I said that as long as he helps us find the key to the Celestial Spirits of the Twelve Celestial Spirit, we will satisfy his wish. The premise is that this so-called 'wish' can't be too excessive."

"Although he didn't help us find the key to the Celestial Spirits of the Twelve Celestial Spirit, he found the thirteenth key, so he completed the mission."

Just as Erik and Evan were confronting each other, Rob came in from outside the door. He looked at Evan and the others and smiled.

"I see. Since it was Senior Rob who agreed on my behalf, then there is no other way." After Evan saw Rob, his expression suddenly changed. He finally knew what his promise was. So, Evan turned to look at Erik, and asked, "So, Erik, what do you want me to do for you? As long as your request is not too excessive, I can satisfy you."

"I don't need you to do anything for me. I just want to see my Cubellios, even if it's just a meeting from afar..."

When Erik heard Evan's words, he first shook his head lightly, indicating that he did not need Evan to do anything for him. Then he made his request.

"I see!"

Evan was enlightened after hearing Erik's words.

Then, Evan patted Erik on the shoulder and said, "Erik, wait for me for five seconds."

"Huh?"

"Okay..."

Aike looked at Evan, and an ominous feeling flashed through his heart. Although Erik did not know what Evan was going to do, he still nodded his head slightly to express his agreement.

Weng...

The moment Erik nodded, Evan's figure disappeared.

About five seconds later, Evan reappeared in front of Erik. However, unlike before, this time, Evan was holding a small snake that was spitting letters.

"Erik, look who this is! Isn't this your Cubellios?"

Evan put the snake in her hand in Erik's hand and smiled.

"You want to fight?" After listening to Evan's words, Erik looked at the small snake in his hand. The veins on his forehead tightened, so he threw the small snake on the ground in anger. At the same time, he roared at Evan, "This is not my Cubellios! Bastard!"

"You said it is not your Cubellios?"

Evan frowned and asked in a deep voice after hearing Erik.

"This is not my Cubellios in the first place!"

Erik clenched his fists as magic power surged in his body.

"Haha, I said that it is not your Cubellios..."

"I didn't expect you to be so sensitive to your own snake. You shouldn't be able to hear the snake's mind, right?"

Evan looked at Erik, who was clenching his fists so tightly that he looked like he was about to explode.

"Cut the crap. Hurry up and return my Cubellios to me..."

Erik frowned. He did not know how Evan knew that he could not hear the thoughts in the mind of Cubellios. However, this did not stop him from feeling angry because Evan had used an unknown snake lake to deal with him.

"In fact, the snake that you used to play with often was not a snake but a human. It was only because she was cursed by the Black Mage that she became a snake. But now, the curse on her has been removed. Originally, I wanted to remove the curse on her and retain her memories of becoming a snake. However, there was a small accident. Although the curse was indeed removed, the memories of the child as a snake were completely forgotten...

Evan looked at the angry Erik and no longer joked. She told everything about the matter of Cubellios to Erik.

In fact, Evan was afraid that Erik would suddenly hear about the matter of Cubellios. His young heart could not accept it, so he helped Erik train his heart in advance.

Evan could only silently say to Erik in her heart, "Do not thank me..."

"Sure enough?"

To Evan's surprise, not only did Erik not show any surprise after hearing Evan's words, he instead revealed an expression of "sure enough." It was as if Erik had long known about the situation with Cubellios.

"It is probably because you helped Cubellios to come into contact with the curse that I can finally hear Cubellios's voice. No matter how far Cubellios is from me, her voice will always come from my brain. I already know that she has returned to human form. This is good. This is the best ending..."

"As for her memories as a snake, thank you for helping her clean up that terrible memory!"

After listening to Evan's words, the corners of Erik's mouth rose slightly. His originally restless heart had completely calmed down after confirming the situation with Cubellios from Evan.

"Is this enough?"

Evan looked at Erik and asked.

"En! This is enough."

Erik looked at Evan and nodded heavily.

"Erik, you are not a sinner. If you lose it, you can get it back."

Evan looked at Erik and frowned.

"No, I'm afraid that when she sees me, she will remember those terrible memories. It was not easy for her to get rid of these memories..."

Erik looked at Evan and smiled, then shook his head.

"..."

Evan looked at the smiling Erik in front of him and was a little silent. It was probably because he was too concerned that he did not dare to take another step forward, right?

Evan could not say anything about the matter between Erik and Cubellios. He could only stand behind Erik and Cubellios, silently helping the two of them.

"Let's go! I'll take you to see her. Right now, Cubellios is doing logistics work at the Fairy Tail. At the same time, she has a new name called Kinana. You must remember it well."

Evan patted Erik on the shoulder and decided to fulfill his wish. At the same time, he told him the name of Cubellios.

"Kinana? What a good name."

After listening to Evan, a smile appeared on Erik's face. Just hearing Cubellios's name made him feel warm inside.

Cubellios should be very happy now, right!
