[00:02] ---
    Magnolia, X791.
[00:06] ---
    After returning from Tenroujima,
[00:09] ---
    we discovered that seven years had
    passed in this world, Earthland.
[00:15] ---
    I think I read a fairy tale about
    something like that a long time ago,
[00:18] ---
    but never imagined I'd go
    through the same experience.
[00:24] ---
    Cheers!
[00:26] ---
    I don't think I'll ever forget our
    homecoming at Fairy Tail that night.
[00:32] ---
    We drank, we sang, we danced,
[00:35] ---
    raising a clamor as if to
    bury the seven-year-gap.
[02:09] ---
    You can use Fire Magic too, Romeo?!
[02:11] ---
    The temperature in the guild
    is gonna rise up again!
[02:14] ---
    I can produce cold flames, too!
[02:16] ---
    Ooh, blue flames!
[02:18] ---
    What's this?
[02:19] ---
    Purple sticky flames, like my dad.
[02:22] ---
    And weird smelling yellow flames, too.
[02:25] ---
    That reeks!
[02:26] ---
    That's impressive.
[02:28] ---
    Looks like you've got more of
    a range than your old man...
[02:31] ---
    Where have I seen that magic before?
[02:33] ---
    Aye...
[02:35] ---
    Don't tell my dad, but I've been going
    to Totomaru-sensei's magic class.
[02:39] ---
    Is that what he's been up to?
[02:43] ---
    That's unusual. He looks happy...
[02:47] ---
    That brings back memories! I never did
    get to eat all the colors of his flames!
[02:52] ---
    Alright! Maybe I'll go with you next time!
[02:55] ---
    Sorry. Natsu-nii, you're a taboo subject.
[02:58] ---
    I would think...
[02:59] ---
    To think, you'd become the
    fourth Fairy Tail Master...
[03:04] ---
    What are you talking about?
[03:06] ---
    I was only, like, standing in for you.
[03:09] ---
    You can have the position back right away.
[03:11] ---
    Nah... It's more amusing this way,
    so keep going for the time being.
[03:15] ---
    Seriously?!
[03:17] ---
    The 1st Master, Mavis.
[03:19] ---
    The 2nd Master, Purehito.
[03:21] ---
    The 3rd Master, Makarov.
[03:24] ---
    The 4th Master, Ma-ca-o...
[03:29] ---
    If that's what the previous Master decrees,
    then I'll continue for a while...
[03:31] ---
    I've got this indescribable
    feeling of disappointment...
[03:35] ---
    Right?
[03:38] ---
    What?!
[03:40] ---
    Y-Y-You guys got married?!
[03:44] ---
    Six years ago.
[03:45] ---
    Listen to this, Erza-san!
[03:47] ---
    I'm the one who proposed!
[03:49] ---
    You should've seen Al...
[03:50] ---
    We don't need to bring that up!
[03:53] ---
    C-Congratulations!
[03:55] ---
    Incompetent as I am, I hope
    you'll think well of me!
[03:57] ---
    Somebody, stop her!
[03:58] ---
    What's Erza talking about?
[04:00] ---
    She's mixing up their lives with hers.
[04:02] ---
    That's wonderful! Do you have any children?
[04:05] ---
    One daughter.
[04:06] ---
    Her name is Asuka.
[04:08] ---
    Um... Reedus-san, this...
[04:11] ---
    Oui. I drew how I pictured you
    grown up after seven years, Wendy.
[04:18] ---
    My chest is...
[04:19] ---
    Hm? Did you say something?
[04:23] ---
    This... is disturbing.
[04:25] ---
    Why am I wearing a loincloth?
[04:27] ---
    That reminds me, the Exceed...
[04:30] ---
    I wonder if they've been worrying
    about us these seven years...
[04:33] ---
    No. Exceed have a different
    sense of time than humans.
[04:38] ---
    Seven years probably hasn't
    seemed that long for them.
[04:41] ---
    I see!
[04:42] ---
    Well, I hope that's the case...
[04:43] ---
    E-Even if I get bigger, I'm
    not going to get bigger there?
[04:48] ---
    Oui? Are you dissatisfied with my drawing?
[04:53] ---
    You've held out well these
    seven years, Kinana.
[04:57] ---
    It's not like I've been holding out...
[05:00] ---
    Did you... remember anything about your past?
[05:04] ---
    No, nothing. I don't know why...
[05:08] ---
    But every once in a while, it's
    like someone whispers to me.
[05:13] ---
    Saying, "Let me hear your voice."
[05:16] ---
    I wonder who it is...
[05:18] ---
    It's a very kind voice... like
    it knows me from long ago...
[05:28] ---
    Oh, welcome!
[05:30] ---
    Well, it looks like the gang's all here.
[05:34] ---
    Who the hell are they?
[05:35] ---
    Don't tell me...
SIGN    Love
[05:37] ---
    Let me congratulate you with love
    on your homecoming, everyone!
[05:43] ---
    Are you all safe and sound?
[05:45] ---
    They may not have aged in
    seven years, but still...
[05:50] ---
    Are you gonna go back to
    being a boisterous guild?
[05:54] ---
    You're...
[05:55] ---
    Lamia Scale!
[05:56] ---
    Pegasus and Lamia were both a big
    help in the search for Tenroujima.
[06:01] ---
    Oh, really?
[06:03] ---
    I guess we're in their debt now...
[06:06] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[06:08] ---
    Pegasus has overtaken us, but
    we've got more powerful members.
[06:13] ---
    That's what you mean?!
[06:15] ---
    After all, in these seven years,
[06:18] ---
    Lamia Scale has become the
    number two guild in Fiore.
[06:24] ---
    Too bad for you, Lucy-san.
[06:27] ---
    Then Pegasus is number one?
[06:30] ---
    You really think that's possible?!
[06:31] ---
    How can you even suggest that?!
[06:32] ---
    Cool it.
[06:34] ---
    No. It's not Pegasus.
[06:36] ---
    Come, let's change the subject.
[06:39] ---
    What's important is that everyone is safe.
[06:53] ---
    I-Is this what they call
    love at first sight?!
[06:59] ---
    He came right out with it!
[07:01] ---
    I can tell, this is gonna
    get really complicated!
[07:04] ---
    W-Wait, this means... Juvia...
[07:09] ---
    Pandemonium!
[07:10] ---
    She's got quite the imagination.
[07:12] ---
    Gimme a break!
[07:14] ---
    By the way...
[07:15] ---
    I found out I'm Cana's dad!
[07:18] ---
    Cut it out! Don't get all clingy!
[07:20] ---
    I can't help it! I'm so happy!
[07:22] ---
    Do something about that goofball face!
[07:24] ---
    But first put me down!
[07:25] ---
    Couldn't they have dealt with
    this in a more dignified way?
[07:28] ---
    I guess they don't intend
    to keep it a secret...
[07:31] ---
    Ta-daaa! This is Asuka!
[07:35] ---
    She looks exactly like you two.
[07:37] ---
    I see. She reminds me of
    Wendy. She's very cute.
[07:43] ---
    Hey...
[07:44] ---
    Even Lily!
[07:45] ---
    Huh? What did I say?!
[07:50] ---
    It's as noisy as ever.
[07:52] ---
    For us, about a week passed,
[07:56] ---
    but for those who stayed here,
    seven long years have gone by.
[08:02] ---
    A hard, lonely seven years...
[08:05] ---
    When I think about how everyone was
    waiting for us all this time...
[08:09] ---
    ...it makes me sad.
[08:15] ---
    The Seven-Year Gap!
[08:19] ---
    It feels like it's been forever since
    we've been back to the old house!
[08:23] ---
    Huh? Is that...
[08:25] ---
    Lucy-chan?
[08:34] ---
    L-Landlady...
[08:38] ---
    I heard you were back.
[08:41] ---
    I'm glad you're safe.
[08:44] ---
    But your rent is something else.
[08:47] ---
    Seven years' worth! 5,880,000 jewel!
[08:52] ---
    If you don't pay up, you're not
    setting foot in this house!
[09:03] ---
    5,880,000 jewel...
[09:05] ---
    I can't pay that...
[09:09] ---
    The guild is in financial straits, too...
[09:12] ---
    My savings...
[09:14] ---
    I chipped in to cover you when you were out.
[09:17] ---
    And Fairy Hills deducted
    seven years' worth of rent...
[09:20] ---
    We're all in the same boat.
[09:23] ---
    Seven years...
[09:26] ---
    That's longer than I can imagine.
[09:29] ---
    Romeo-kun's gotten bigger...
[09:32] ---
    Jet and Droy have changed, too.
[09:36] ---
    Alzack and Bisca have a child!
[09:40] ---
    Come to think of it, everyone was surprised
    about Cana and Gildarts, right?
[09:49] ---
    Father...
[09:53] ---
    That means I haven't been in
    touch with him for seven years.
[09:59] ---
    He's probably worried about me...
[10:09] ---
    Maybe I'll go see Dad.
[10:18] ---
    This may be the first time I've
    ever thought I wanted to see him!
[10:28] ---
    I-It's not to borrow money!
[10:38] ---
    But the seven years we lost forced
    a blank reality on us, too.
[10:47] ---
    Erza-san...
[10:48] ---
    It's about Jellal. Actually...
[10:51] ---
    Hey, Bisca...
[10:53] ---
    Makarov-dono, the gathering of
    the Ten Saints is drawing near.
[10:58] ---
    But before that, I would like to
    inform you about a certain guild.
[11:03] ---
    You know two women, Ultear
    and Meldy, don't you?
[11:06] ---
    Have they done something?
[11:08] ---
    It's gone! It's gone!
[11:10] ---
    Natsu! Look harder!
[11:16] ---
    Without that, we're...
[11:26] ---
    Then he's still alive... Zeref...
[11:34] ---
    I'm never gonna ride in a
    carriage again! Never again!
[11:37] ---
    We're here, Natsu.
[11:39] ---
    Jeez... Why are you two tagging along?
[11:42] ---
    We don't have any money!
[11:44] ---
    Lucy, your papa knows a lot of
    delicious fish stories, right?
[11:48] ---
    More like fishy get-rich-quick stories...
[11:50] ---
    And I won't even know if he
    knows that 'til I see him.
[11:52] ---
    Anyway, you guys don't live
    in a rented house, right?
[11:55] ---
    Our safe is missing!
[11:58] ---
    Our food expenses... What are we gonna do?!
[12:02] ---
    Oh, boy...
[12:04] ---
    The merchant guild, Love & Lucky...
[12:08] ---
    Um, excuse me...
[12:10] ---
    Yes?
[12:11] ---
    I'm looking for Jude Heartfilia...
[12:14] ---
    He is a member here, isn't he?
[12:16] ---
    Ah... Might you be Jude-san's daughter?
[12:20] ---
    Yes!
[12:24] ---
    What's wrong?
[12:25] ---
    Has he quit already?
[12:27] ---
    Is he not here?
[12:28] ---
    Um...
[12:31] ---
    It pains me... to have to tell you this...
[12:36] ---
    Jude-san passed away one month ago.
[12:40] ---
    I'm truly sorry for your loss.
[12:51] ---
    This is what seven blank years...
[12:53] ---
    ...did to us.
[13:12] ---
    Lucy...
[13:13] ---
    Happy.
[13:21] ---
    My old man stinks to high
    heaven and he never shuts up!
[13:24] ---
    My dad bugs the hell out of me, too!
[13:28] ---
    Why does he have to be so annoying?!
[13:30] ---
    Totally, right?!
[13:32] ---
    I wish he'd just hurry up and die already!
[13:34] ---
    Totally, right?!
[13:39] ---
    Hey, knock it off, you wenches!
[13:40] ---
    Can't you sense the mood?! Huh?!
[13:43] ---
    Who the hell is he?
[13:44] ---
    How are we supposed to sense
    the mood of strangers?!
[13:46] ---
    Shut up! Get the hell outta here!
[13:48] ---
    Go!
[13:49] ---
    We were on our way anyway.
    What's wrong with this guy?
[13:53] ---
    What a freak...
[13:55] ---
    Yeah totally...
[13:56] ---
    Don't.
[13:58] ---
    I wasn't...
[14:01] ---
    Sorry for making you fuss over me...
[14:04] ---
    Are you okay, Lucy?
[14:07] ---
    Yeah. I just wasn't prepared...
    to hear about my dad...
[14:15] ---
    Two months ago...
[14:16] ---
    No, that's not right.
    Seven years have passed...
[14:21] ---
    The last time I saw my
    father was in Acalypha...
[14:27] ---
    I never loved him, even when I was kid.
[14:33] ---
    That business with the Phantom
    Lord made it even worse...
[14:37] ---
    But after what happened in Acalypha,
[14:40] ---
    I had the feeling my relationship
    with my father could change.
[14:48] ---
    It's just like him to lose his
    health from working too hard.
[14:54] ---
    I don't understand it...
[14:56] ---
    I'm sad... and lonely...
[15:01] ---
    Yet the tears won't come...
[15:10] ---
    I guess I really didn't have feelings for...
[15:15] ---
    That's not true.
[15:17] ---
    I don't know how to put this,
[15:19] ---
    but I don't think it's about
    whether you cry or not...
[15:24] ---
    Yeah. Thanks.
[15:28] ---
    It's strange, but...
[15:34] ---
    I really am fine.
[15:41] ---
    The wizard guild, Twilight Ogre...
[15:46] ---
    I'm telling you, old man,
    there's nothing to discuss.
[15:51] ---
    Pay us back the money we lent you
    and the slate will be wiped clean.
[15:56] ---
    The Master of Twilight Ogre, Banaboster.
[16:00] ---
    Easy for you to say, but as you know,
    we have a surprising lack of money.
[16:06] ---
    Besides, one look at the account book shows
[16:08] ---
    that there's obviously something
    odd about income and expenditures.
[16:11] ---
    Take heed.
[16:14] ---
    Are you accusin' me of something?!
[16:16] ---
    Perish the thought!
[16:18] ---
    We'll pay back the money we borrowed
    along with legitimate interest...
[16:22] ---
    ...eventually.
[16:23] ---
    And I'm tellin' you to pay it
    back right now, you old fart!
[16:27] ---
    Look... Let's start by
    recalculating the interest.
[16:34] ---
    You beat up five of my guys!
[16:39] ---
    First, our debtors open up
    a can of whoop-ass on us
[16:43] ---
    and then they don't pay what they owe,
    you're makin' our guild lose face here!
[16:46] ---
    Huh?
[16:47] ---
    I came here today to talk about money,
[16:50] ---
    but you want to bring honor into it, too?
[16:55] ---
    We don't have money or honor, thanks to you!
[16:58] ---
    Pay back what you owe.
[17:00] ---
    That's your guild's creed.
[17:03] ---
    That's how you want to play it, yes?
[17:05] ---
    Seven years... of property
    damage to our guild
[17:09] ---
    and violence towards our members...
[17:12] ---
    We're obliged to pay you
    back for all of that.
[17:18] ---
    For seven years... you've
    made my brats suffer...
[17:23] ---
    It makes me cry just to think about it...
[17:26] ---
    Hey, boy. It's a war you want?
[17:34] ---
    Wait...
[17:39] ---
    Hey, I thought the idea was to talk it out...
[17:43] ---
    Should've figured that wouldn't fly...
[17:46] ---
    Still and all...
[17:47] ---
    Lookin' at this makes me feel like
    those seven years never went by.
[17:52] ---
    It's like the good old days.
[17:54] ---
    Natsu! Happy! What are you doing here?
[17:58] ---
    Weren't you guys goin' to Acalypha with Lucy?
[18:00] ---
    Hey! Are you up for a scrap?!
[18:02] ---
    Don't! It'll only make matters worse!
[18:12] ---
    What was that?
[18:14] ---
    You got me...
[18:18] ---
    Welcome back, Papa!
[18:19] ---
    I'm home!
[18:26] ---
    Landlady...
[18:29] ---
    Hey! What are you doing?!
[18:32] ---
    Somebody! Help me!
[18:44] ---
    My room...
[18:46] ---
    Huh? Even though I haven't been here in
    seven years, it isn't dusty at all...
[18:51] ---
    I've been cleaning it every week.
[18:54] ---
    Although several outfits
    have gone to the moths...
[18:58] ---
    I took one for myself.
[19:01] ---
    Look on the table.
[19:10] ---
    They were sent here every
    year on the same day.
[19:14] ---
    To my dear daughter,
[19:17] ---
    Happy birthday.
[19:19] ---
    Love, Papa
[19:22] ---
    He... remembered?
[19:26] ---
    One more was delivered this morning.
[19:40] ---
    To my dear daughter,
[19:43] ---
    Happy birthday!
[19:46] ---
    Although I don't know when
    you'll read this note...
[19:52] ---
    Much time has passed since I heard that
    you and your friends had disappeared.
[19:57] ---
    Although I'm very worried,
    I have faith in you.
[20:02] ---
    You remind me so much of Layla.
[20:04] ---
    You were born with many blessings.
[20:07] ---
    I'm sure you're safe.
[20:09] ---
    I have faith that we'll
    be able to meet again.
[20:12] ---
    As for me, it looks like I'll soon be
[20:15] ---
    finalizing important business
    negotiations in the west.
[20:17] ---
    I'm busy, but each day is satisfying.
[20:22] ---
    Every day, I think of you and Layla.
[20:27] ---
    You're our pride and joy.
[20:30] ---
    I want you to go down the route
    you strongly believe in.
[20:35] ---
    And I want to see you
    again... as soon as I can.
[20:41] ---
    Father...
[20:43] ---
    Lucy, I always have and always will love you.
[20:59] ---
    I... love you, too!
[21:13] ---
    Whaaat?! How can it be?!
[21:16] ---
    Lucy turned into this?!
[21:19] ---
    How rude! I'm her landlady.
[21:23] ---
    Of course you are...
[21:25] ---
    So... where is Lucy?
[21:27] ---
    Let her be right now.
[21:30] ---
    But...
[21:31] ---
    We've got a job for her.
[21:34] ---
    The letter that arrived this morning
    came with seven years' worth of rent.
[21:39] ---
    Honestly... I suppose that's
    what you call a doting parent...
[21:45] ---
    What?!
[21:46] ---
    Then we're the only ones who
    don't have money for food?!
[21:49] ---
    There's no time to stand around
    and chat! We gotta get to work!
[21:52] ---
    Aye, sir!
[21:56] ---
    Lucy!
[21:57] ---
    We're goin' out on a job!
[21:59] ---
    We'll bring you back some
    Shirotsume dumplings!
[22:06] ---
    Losing seven years is huge...
[22:12] ---
    Wait! I'm going, too!
[22:18] ---
    But even so, we're gonna live in this world!
[23:55] ---
    There's gonna be a dance?
    That sounds like fun!
[23:58] ---
    It's a social event for adults.
[24:00] ---
    I don't think you're ready for it yet, Natsu.
[24:02] ---
    Why not?!
[24:03] ---
    I bet they've got lots of
    delicious food, right?!
[24:05] ---
    I'm gonna clean 'em out!
[24:06] ---
    You really are still a kid, Natsu.
[24:08] ---
    I'm an adult, so I'm looking forward
    to dancing elegantly with Carla.
[24:12] ---
    You don't have the guts to even ask her!
[24:14] ---
    Next time: Magical Ball!
[24:16] ---
    That's absurd!
[24:17] ---
    Don't underestimate me!
[24:19] ---
    Well, I've never seen that
    side of you before!
[24:22] ---
    Sure you have! I think you have!
