Fairy Tail: You call this Celestial Spirit Magic?!

Chapter 35: The Birth of Mystogan

With tears in her eyes, Wendy turned and left with Moen, Makarov, and Gerald. She kept looking back at everyone waving goodbye, as if afraid she would never see them again.

"Don't be sad, Wendy. You can come visit everyone at the Cat's Lodge often in the future."

Moen patted Wendy's head and gently comforted her.

"Yes, I know, Brother Moen."

Wendy looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears, but she nodded firmly.

"Today's parting is for a more beautiful encounter next time."

Wendy wiped away her tears and said the words that Moen had used to comfort her.

This child actually drank the chicken soup that Moen fed her, and was even able to apply it to comfort herself.

Although Wendy is always crying and easily sheds tears, like a little crybaby, she actually has a resilient personality.

"That's right, it's just a temporary separation."

Moen smiled and nodded, saying that he and Grandpa Makarov had tacitly agreed not to tell Wendy the truth or undermine Robin.

They decided to wait until Wendy was a little older and more receptive before considering whether to tell her the truth.

As for Robin Lu's sudden death and the collective disappearance of the "Demon Cat Inn," such things are unlikely to happen in the short term.

Powerful mages generally have long lifespans. Grandpa Makarov was eighty-one years old and so healthy that even Moen dared not say he was healthier. There are also mages who are still active when they are over a hundred years old. Being a mage is a profession where the older you get, the more extraordinary you become.

Moen believes this is closely related to the concept of magic. Everything has magic, and magic is intricately connected with life force, soul, and will. It is normal that mages have profound magic and can live longer than ordinary people.

Beside Moen, Gerald, who had been silent all along, looked puzzled. He frowned and tried hard to recall, but no matter how hard he tried, he had no memory of anything related to the Cat's Abode.

The night he led Wendy to find Robin, they searched the entire dilapidated village, but only found Robin.

"Speaking of which... when I brought Wendy to the village... sob sob!"

Just as Gerald opened his mouth, Moen reached out and covered his mouth.

"You already met them when you arrived at the village! The head of the Demon Cat's Lodge, right?"

Moen stared intently at Gerald, emphasizing the words "seen" in a serious tone.

Have you... seen it before?

Gerald looked surprised and asked hesitantly after Moen released his grip.

"This...is a good option!"

Moen nodded heavily, giving Gerald a meaningful look.

"Okay...I have seen it before."

Gerald understood and immediately changed his tune.

Wendy stared wide-eyed at their inexplicable conversation. She found it strange, but couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

"Jeral, we're about to head to the guild and enter the city. I think there are some things I need to tell you in advance."

Makarov interjected at the opportune moment, diverting the conversation.

The three of them turned their gazes toward Makarov. Grandpa Makarov spoke in a serious tone, as if he had something very important to say. Gerald listened attentively with a serious expression.

"The world of Edolas is a parallel world to the world of Eslanden. So, you may encounter many familiar people in this world, but they only look similar to people from that world; they are not actually the same people."

Looking at Gerald, Makarov spoke seriously, feeling it necessary to remind Gerald of this point.

Otherwise, this honest child might be deceived by others.

"So that's how it is!"

After hearing Makarov's words, Gerald had a look of sudden realization.

No wonder! No wonder he always felt that Makarov looked familiar!

The guild master of Fairy Tail looks remarkably like his father, the King of Edolas!

Although there are some minor differences, Gerald would not mistake them; Chairman Makarov and his father look extremely similar!

However, Gerald did not speak of this matter because he considered it an insult to Chairman Makarov. Although it was disrespectful, Gerald had to admit that his father was not a good person.

He thus gained a deeper understanding of what Chairman Makarov meant. Indeed, they only looked alike; their personalities and character were completely different.

"Should I conceal my appearance? And then change my name, a name I'll use in this world?"

Gerald asked, covering his face and changing his name, he felt that this was the easiest way to reduce unnecessary trouble.

Gerald has a very stubborn personality. He doesn't like to burden or trouble others because of his own affairs. He doesn't want to cause trouble for the "Gerald" in this world. Although he feels that the chances of encountering him are not high, it would be troublesome if he did.

"I think it's a good idea; it's always better to have less trouble."

Moen expressed his support, knowing that Gerald was someone who disliked trouble.

"How about we call it Mystergan? A gun that can spray out hypnotic fog. Your hypnotic magic has left a deep impression on me."

Moen then spoke, casually mentioning the name, and watched Gerald's expression, finding that the other party had no reaction.

This is a little different from what Moen expected, so does that mean Mystogan is not actually Gerald's real name?

"Mistrigan? That sounds good."

Gerald's eyes lit up. He also thought the name was quite good, as it was related to his magic but had no connection to Gerald himself.

"Then it's decided. From now on, please call me Mystergang."

Without any hesitation, Gerald chose the name "Mistgang," which surprised Moen.

So, I actually named Gerald?

Moen was surprised; he was momentarily confused about the cause-and-effect relationship.

Was Geralt originally named "Mystogan," or did the name "Mystogan" come about because of him?

'Hmm~ Too complicated. Just let things take their course.'

Moen shook his head, no longer wanting to dwell on such complex issues of "cause and effect".

"Mystogan, you have to do your best! I'm getting more and more excited to go to Edolas. It would be really interesting to see myself in another world."

Moen patted Mistgang on the shoulder. He was quite curious about Edolas, this "parallel world," and wondered if someone like him existed in Edolas.
