I opened my eyes to find myself in Shuna's lap and she was brushing my hair. I was still in the Restaurant but there were no other people there.

"How many days was I out this time? I asked, not even trying to get up. "What about the guests?"

"Eight hours. We closed the shop for the day. We didn't have many guests after that."

"Did Milim leave?" I asked.

"She is staying in Tempest for the time being." Shuna replied and I saw a strained smile on her face.

"Did something happen?"

"Well, after you passed out, Tohru-chan thought you were hurt and almost attacked Milim-sama. She was stopped at the right time by Rimuru-sama but she was very angry. She only stopped when she found out that you were actually evolving and not exactly hurt."

... 

I won't lie but I felt quite warm knowing that she did that especially since I knew she was shit scared of Milim's power.

"Milim didn't get angry, did she?" I asked, suddenly remembering the actual demon lord in the basket.

"No. She just laughed it off and even praised Tohru-chan. She said you had good subordinates and that she would let everything go for two chocolate cakes."

... 

She was really a child.

I shook my head at the antics of the little Demon Lord.

"What about Sakura and Lavy?"

"They haven't returned yet."

"I see." Thank goodness they haven't returned or they would be worried for no reason.

"Thank you for taking care of the situation, Shuna." I smiled at her.

"It's my job." She replied with a smile.

I closed my eyes and lay there resting for a while.

Shuna's scent felt nice. She smelled sweet, like cherry blossoms.

I suddenly remembered what Lavy had told me about Shuna last night and suddenly the whole situation felt quite intimate.

Was she really interested in me?

"Shuna."

"Yes?'

"Tell me something about yourself, about your life in the Ogre Village."

"Eh?"

"I want to know more about you." I said seriously and saw the girl blush.

The lights in the Restaurant were dim but my senses were extremely sharp after evolving. Seeing in the dark was nothing, I could do so earlier too.

But now, it was on a whole other level.

I had thought that my evolution to a Daemon Chevalier had made me stronger but all that was nothing compared to what I was feeling right now.

This evolution… it was something… far deeper as if something fundamental has changed about me.

I'll have to ask Rimuru later on.

Arch Daemon.

Sounds like the Demon version of Archangels.

But still, how freaking strong was Milim?

We had to fight and risk our lives and even then my previous evolution had occurred due to me accidentally eating that Clown's soul and Milim pushed me further with just simple naming. Moreover while Rimuru was weakened by naming the ogres, she didn't even look like she was breathing heavily.

Demon Lords were scary.

No wonder, Tohru was so scared of her.

Thankfully, it looked like she was quite easygoing and didn't take it to heart.

I shook my head and snapped out of these thoughts.

Shuna was telling me her story and I didn't want to think about other things while she was pouring her heart out to me.

- Zeref -

He waited in the room as the door was opened and a figure entered. The figure paused looking at him, his eyes widening but he still let out a sigh and sat down.

"I didn't think I would ever see you again. Not that I am unhappy. It brings back some nostalgic memories of my youth but why are you here, Zeref?"

"Warrod. You look…"

"Old, like a tree? Yes. Magic is strange. I can't say I dislike this form of mine. Rather I find myself much closer to nature."

"I was going to say well but… I need your help, Warrod."

….

He didn't answer but looked questioningly.

"I found a way to remove the curse of contradiction. I am free now."

Warrod Sequen was probably one of the only people in Ishgar who knew about him and the truth about the Black Wizard Zeref so the fact that the man's eyes widened and his jaws hung open was not a big surprise.

"Are you?"

"Yes. I am here to take her back."

"They will not allow you to step foot in Ishgar. Your name is…."

"And yet I stand here. You know as well as I do that if I really wanted to push, they cannot stop me. But I don't wish for any bloodshed. Not anymore. I just wish to take Mavis away with me and free her of her curse. In return, I will remove Tartarus and all the demons inside it. This is my offer to you. Should the Magic Council refuse it, even the Etherion or Face will not be able to save you, this… I promise."

A tense atmosphere descended on the room.

"Let her decide what she wants to do. I will ask Makarov. We will meet on Tenroujima Island in a week."

"Very well."

"Zeref… Precht, he…"

"Hmm?"

"Went rogue. He is now the leader of a Dark Guild working together with Tartarus."

"... I see."

He got up and was about to leave the room when he heard the voice of Warrod once more. "Congratulations on being free, Zeref."

"Thank you, old friend."

– Irene –

She looked at the bunch of children behind her, following one who looked like a miniature version of her.

She never thought that there would be a day where she would be able to return for her daughter again.

And yet, when the day comes, she is afraid to even call out to her.

Being able to taste food again had done a lot of good for her. Especially when she discovered the fact that she could sleep after eating the food from the restaurant. The voices in her head started to become quieter.

She was regaining her lost sanity bit by bit and this reignited her hope of reuniting with her daughter.

And what does she see when she comes back?

Her daughter, enslaved and forced to work by some cultists? The audacity.

Behind them lay the smouldering wreckage of the Tower of Heaven. A way to resurrect Zeref, the black haired girl had claimed. What foolishness!

How would you revive someone who is already alive?

They were obviously being used by someone, the one called Precht.

"I assume you will be taking care of Tartarus?" She asked Zeref who was sitting on a rock nearby, waiting for them.

"August found a child with an innate Satan Soul Take Over Magic. He wants her to devour the magic of the ones in Tartarus for her growth." He looked at the children behind her. "Congratulations on finding your daughter."

She froze. The children behind her froze as she looked back.

Her daughter was staring at her with shock on her face.

She had the urge to glare at Zeref but then again, it made things a lot easier for her by breaking the ice between the two of them.

She turned back to Zeref. "The person behind this was the second Guild Master of Fairy Tail, Precht. He was manipulating the children to build the tower. I will take care of him myself."

He thought for a moment before answering. "Take August with you. He is related to Tartarus. August will take care of that side." She nodded.

"And you?"

"You have reunited with your family. It's about time I got reunited with mine as well."

- Tsunade -

"Has Sensei finally gone over the edge?" She asked as she stepped under the gates of the village which she had vowed never to return.

"I warn you Tsunade, Sensei was not his usual easy going self the last time I met him. You should watch how you speak in front of him." Jiraiya warned, seriously making her grit her teeth.

"Or what? It's not like I have anything to lose. What can he do to me either way?" She rolled her eyes.

This village had already taken everything from her.

She didn't have anything left to lose anymore so she wasn't afraid of what the old man might do.

While they walked, she saw several people looking in her direction and speaking to themselves. Apart from that she even noticed a strange atmosphere, a strange tension of sorts in the village.

In fact, she had felt some unkind gazes from unseen corners of the village.

Has the friction between the village and the Uchiha clan reached this point already? 

Was that why she was called back right now, because there could be a war anytime?

As they walked towards the Hokage building, she saw a few familiar faces. No, calling them familiar would be a stretch as they had changed a lot with age.

"Kakashi, Guy." Jiraiya greeted them.

"Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama." The two bowed.

"Off to a mission again? You should take a break sometimes" Jiraiya asked Kakashi and Tsunade remembered more about the boy.

Kakashi Hatake, the son of the White Fang, Sakumo Hatake and the student of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

The boy's eyes looked dead. Then again, so did many other people's.

It was the ones who could remain in this profession and still keep their sanity who were the odd ones.

"I have just returned from a mission and am on my way to the Hokage Tower to report."

"Oh, come then. We were going to report to sensei too."

Kakashi nodded and looked at Guy "Then I will be off, Guy."

"Very well, Kakashi, my friend. I can take you to my favourite Restaurant next time." The guy in the green jumpsuit shouted loud enough to make Tsunade check her ear drums for any damages.

"Sure sure." Kakashi waved off and followed them.

"Has there been any updates since I left the village"? Jiraiya asked, while they were walking towards the Hokage tower.

Kakashi shook his head, looking more… dead somehow as if that was even possible.

Tsunade looked confused at them not knowing the topic of their discussion.

"Anything on your end?" Kakashi asked and Jiraiya also shook his head looking tired.

"Has something happened?" She asked, her curiosity getting the best of her.

"You will know when we are inside." Jiraiya said, cryptically.

She nodded and in minutes, they were already at the Hokage's tower.

Jiraiya knocked on the door and a familiar voice answered it.

"Come in."

On entering the door, she saw her sensei again, after over a decade. He seemed so old and frail all of a sudden. How long had it been again?

The old man smiled. "It's good to have you back, Tsunade."

His voice broke her thoughts and her eyebrows scrunched. "I wish I could say the same but I have no good feelings about returning to this place again."

She saw his face shift through several emotions, first sadness, then helplessness and guilt and finally resolve.

"Then I am afraid that you will have to make do with it. I have given you more than enough time to recuperate, far more than anyone else. It's time you dealt with your problems once and for all."

She was taken aback at his words. She had never seen him behave like this.

After shock came anger.

"I am retired."

"Shinobi only retire when they are dead." He replied, his voice cold. "The village needs your assistance at this time. I cannot allow you to throw your tantrums anymore."

She gritted her teeth but didn't reply. The old man was just like he had been during the wars, the one which had earned him the title of a God of Shinobi.

"What exactly has been going on in the village? What is so important that you have forced me to come here again?" Finally taking a breath, she asked.

….

….

….

….

"Konoha is on the verge of a Civil War and I need your help to stop it."

And just like that all her hopes of sneaking away were crushed altogether.
