Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 359: Thus, a World Where Only Mavis Gets Hurt Is Born

Mount Kuroya at Night...

Mist swirled and steam billowed as countless graceful figures soaked in the warm waters, resembling blooming flowers at their peak, each radiating beauty in her own way, creating a vision of stunning splendor and a contest of a hundred blossoms.

Yes, the battle among women had already begun.

Erza leaned her head back, limbs stretched out in the water, openly displaying her graceful figure. Her curves had already developed impressively, enough to make hearts race.

Mirajane, her long snow-white hair cascading like a pure snowflake, sat beside Erza, her eyes fixed on Erzaʼs voluptuous figure, brows furrowed in a silent challenge.

”Hmph… Not defeated…”

After a while, Mirajane looked down at her own ʼweapons,ʼ a faint smile at her lips. She may have been slightly behind, but not by much.

”Sigh…”

Ultear sat not far from the two, watching them compete in silence and sighing in resignation. She glanced down at her own overly full figure, sometimes, she thought, being too well-endowed hindered her combat abilities.

In truth, she rather envied Wendy, Mavis, and Levy with their flatter physiques, at least they wouldnʼt be hindered during battle.

”So hot~”

Urʼs delicate face flushed red from the rising steam.

She was used to cold baths, so hot springs werenʼt really her thing.

”Ahhh, Iʼm getting dizzy~”

Beside Ur was Cana, soaking in the spring with a wine barrel in hand. Her brain had already started short-circuiting from the alcohol.

”Cana! Youʼre not supposed to drink alcohol in the hot spring!”

Levy shouted urgently, seeing Cana start to sway.

At the center of this blooming paradise, of course, were Irene and Selene.

Irene resembled a thorned rose, stunningly beautiful, yet too dangerous to touch.

Selene, by contrast, was like moonlight incarnate, pure, ethereal, her white-gold hair flowing freely in the water.

Yet her foxlike, seductive eyes added an irresistible edge to that pristine aura.

Though both wore faint smiles, everyone could sense the tension between them, there was clearly an invisible contest underway.

”So big… seriously big… insanely big…”

Mavis, sitting at the edge of the pool, her trademark ahoge bouncing atop her head, watched the sea of curves, Erza, Mirajane, Ul, Ultear, Selene, Irene…

Each glance was like another slap to her ego.

”I didnʼt think bathing could be this enjoyable… humans really know how to live.”

Seilah leaned against the edge of the pool, enjoying the water flowing over her.

It was her first time in a natural hot spring, having spent most of her life shut indoors.

”So full…”

Mavis turned to look, locking eyes on Seilahʼs shapely figure. Her green eyes sparkled.

”Um… Your nameʼs Seilah, right?”

Mavis thought for a moment, then decided to strike up a conversation.

”Hmm? Yes, my name is Seilah, or you can call me Lunar Sky Seilah. Whatever works.”

Seilah blinked at the question, then smiled and nodded politely at Mavis.

After nearly a year living with Fairy Tail, Seilah had begun to take on the ”shape” of the guild.

Sometimes, she even felt that humans werenʼt so bad after all.

Granted, the ones in Fairy Tail werenʼt quite what youʼd call typical humans…

The members of Fairy Tail had definitely… mutated.

”Se-Seilah…”

”I have a rather rude question… are you a demon?!”

Mavis looked nervously at the pair of horns protruding from Seilahʼs head.

”Huh? You figured it out, huh? Mustʼve been the horns, they really do make it hard to hide.

Yes, Iʼm a demon~”

Seilah looked surprised at the question but answered truthfully.

Something about Mavis made her feel at ease, she found Mavis a little clumsy but very sweet.

Seilah didnʼt know why, but… she really liked Mavis.

”So you are a demon~”

”Then Seilah… could it be youʼre one of those demons created by the black mage Zeref?”

Mavis nodded, as if confirming her own guess, then looked seriously at Seilah and asked the question that had been on her mind.

”Huh? So you really saw through me…”

”Yes, Iʼm not one of those second-rate imitations made from Ether-nano particles.

Iʼm a true demon, one of the originals created by Lord Zeref himself!”

”I used to be a member of the Nine Demon Gates of Tartaros, the Lunar Sky Seilah from Zerefʼs bookshelf…”

”But that was the past. Now, Iʼm just an ordinary Fairy Tail wizard.”

”I didnʼt even pass the S-Class exam…”

Seilah looked a bit embarrassed. She was, after all, a demon personally crafted by Zeref, powerful enough to annihilate a city on her own, an existence feared across nations.
