(Back to Magnolia Forest.)
Except for Noel, Natsu, Gray, and the others were gasping for breath.
Facing Porlyusica's relentless pursuit, even Fairy Tail's elite mbers found it exhausting.
They had barely managed to shake her off after using all their strength to escape.
So, while Noel, who excelled in speed (or was it escaping?), remained calm and composed, the others were both physically and ntally drained.
"What a troubleso old woman," Gray said helplessly, leaning against a tree to rest.
Carla, sitting nearby, nodded in agreent. "I've heard that she dislikes humans, but I never imagined it would be to this extent."
Lying on the ground, Happy muttered, "But I'm a cat, though."
"Wendy, what's wrong?" At that mont, Noel noticed Wendy's expression—she looked like she was about to cry.
Concerned, he imdiately asked.
Hearing Noel's words, the others also turned their attention to Wendy, asking if she had been frightened by Porlyusica.
However, Wendy covered her face with her hands and shook her head vigorously, whispering, "No, it's because... I feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgia..."
Noel asked in confusion, "Wendy, have you t Miss Porlyusica before?"
To everyone's surprise, Wendy shook her head.
"No... That was my first ti seeing her, yet she felt incredibly familiar. Her voice, her scent... They were exactly the sa as Grandine's."
"WHAT?!?!"
"That old lady... is Grandine?"
"She has the sa voice as the dragon Wendy has been searching for?"
"What in the world is going on here?"
Natsu, unusually serious, asked, "Wendy, are you sure about this?"
"I don't know," Wendy shook her head gently.
"But her voice... her scent... they are exactly the sa as my mother, the Sky Dragon Grandine."
"It looks like we need to go back and confirm this."
Without hesitation, Natsu turned around, ready to head back to find Porlyusica.
To him, any information related to dragons was incredibly precious.
If they could get clues about the missing Grandine from Porlyusica, it might even lead to the whereabouts of his father, Igneel.
For Natsu, this was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity.
"Wait."
A firm hand suddenly grabbed Natsu's shoulder.
Noel spoke in a calm but serious tone, "Sothing isn't right. Stay cool, Natsu."
"Huh?"
"Miss Porlyusica cannot be the Sky Dragon Grandine." Noel's voice was firm and unquestionable.
"According to what you've said, all dragons disappeared in the year 777, which was... not just seven, but now fourteen years ago. anwhile, Miss Porlyusica has known the guild master since they were young, aning their tilines overlap. That ans she cannot be Grandine."
Gray nodded in agreent. "The possibility of reincarnation or transformation is extrely low too."
Wendy, having cald down, said, "Now that I think about it more rationally, you're right. It's strange. While her voice and scent are exactly the sa, her way of speaking and overall presence are completely different."
"You once ntioned that Grandine liked humans, right?" Happy asked.
Wendy nodded. "Grandine was a very gentle dragon."
"Igneel was a gentle dragon too," Natsu added.
Gray wore a strange expression as he said, "A gentle dragon, huh? Hard to imagine."
"Well, dragons are still too unreal for us," Lucy nodded in agreent.
At that mont, as Noel listened to everyone's conversation, a sudden thought flashed through his mind.
Without thinking, he blurted out, "Edolas."
"Huh?" Hearing Noel's sudden remark, the others were montarily stunned.
Noel's tone grew more certain. "If that's the case, everything makes sense."
"Noel, what are you talking about? We have no idea what you an," Lucy voiced the confusion that everyone else was feeling.
Noel chuckled. "Sorry, I wasn't clear. We currently have two key pieces of information: first, Porlyusica has the sa scent and voice as Grandine. Second, Porlyusica is the complete opposite of Grandine—she despises humans, and they cannot be the sa being. So, I thought of a conclusion that seems unlikely at first but actually fits the situation perfectly."
"What is it?" Everyone looked at Noel curiously.
Noel spoke each word clearly, "Porlyusica must be the Edolas version of Grandine."
"WHAT?!?!" Everyone was completely stunned by Noel's statent.
Before they could even process his words, an aged female voice rang out.
"As expected of you, Noel brat. Everything you just said is correct."
Startled, everyone quickly turned toward the source of the voice.
At so point, Porlyusica had appeared behind them, and it was her voice they had just heard.
"Miss Porlyusica!" Lucy exclaid.
Gray spoke up, "Miss Porlyusica, what you just said...?"
"There's nothing to hide, so I might as well tell you," Porlyusica said casually.
"Just as that brat Noel guessed, I am the Edolas version of Grandine. Decades ago, I got lost in this world, and after that, I received Makarov's help. I grew fond of this world. Even though I had several chances to return to Edolas, in the end, I chose to stay here."
"I see." Everyone finally understood the situation.
"Then..." Noel spoke again.
"Miss Porlyusica, you must have t this world's Grandine, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have known about her existence."
"Yes," Porlyusica nodded.
"Though I wouldn't call it a eting. She contacted directly through magic, speaking to within my mind. You all said you wanted to beco stronger, didn't you?"
Porlyusica reached into her clothes and pulled out a book.
She continued, "If it's just for this child nad Wendy, I might be able to help. This is a magic book written according to the descriptions of the Sky Dragon herself. It contains two powerful Sky Magic techniques—Milky Way and Shattering Light: Sky Drill. These are the lost Dragon Slayer Secret Arts that she never had the chance to teach you! She wanted to give this to you."
Wendy took the book from Porlyusica's hands, murmuring, "Sothing from Grandine..."
Having finished what she ca to do, Porlyusica turned away without hesitation.
"That magic is quite advanced. Don't push yourself too hard, or you'll end up harming your own body."
Wendy bowed deeply toward Porlyusica's retreating figure and called out loudly, "Thank you very much, Miss Porlyusica... Grandine!"
