TIMESKIP- June 30, X784
Two years has passed ever since Lisanna's death. A lot of things has happened at a short time.  I was promoted to an S class wizard after my match with the demon herself. We fought for 3 hours until we both passed out from running out of magic. 

Speaking of that demon, Mirajane Strauss has changed the most over the years. It's as if her personaly went backwards that she rarely gets called a Demon. Ever since our fight, she never used her Satan Soul form for some reason.

These days, my rival works as a model in Sorcerer's Weekly and was pretty famous in that. I refused the same offer from them because it is not my thing.

Fairy Tail was also becoming more famous to the public and busier than usual. The larger population caused our guild hall to expand bigger than before. 

I unconsciously listened to some random mages who talked loudly behind me. They were talking about an evil group that possess civilians with their ghost magic. I chewed on my lollipop while listening. These kinds of stories always intrigued me, especially paranormal ones.

"Hanako. What do you think about my new hat?" Jet tried to get my attention, I eyed the thing on top of his head without saying anything. 

"You look stupid! Trying to impress Levy and Hana huh..?" Droy insults him.

"Don't drag me into this.." I whined, and saw that the two idiots were bickering. "Also, where did you get that hat?"

"From our last mission, it's a souvenir from Aloha Island." He said, proudly.

"Kinda looks like a dead racoon.." Hanako didn't say that out loud and deadpans. 

"Hey Natsu, I heard  Igneel is in Sargeon town." A random mage with buck teeth said out loud to the pink haired mage. Whatever he said, it got the pyro's full attention.

"Igneel.?" Happy wondered in disbelief. "Natsu, you heard him right?"

Happy was a flying blue cat that Natsu found, he was from a large egg which the fire mage took care for months. That was few months before Lisanna died..

"Loud and clear. You better not trick us. Let's go, Happy!" he ran outside of the guild. The cat saluted at his owner. 

"Aye, sir!" he followed back.

"Droy! Let's get a new mission too." Jet shouted from the background.

"Fine, I'll get it."  Droy said out loud, and glanced at his friend shortly. "I'll look for a job for us. Wait here."

The ahoge man left me with Jet and Levy, the former girl was reading another book from the library. It was some cheesy rom-com novel about a girl and a man who is full of himself..How do I know that? I asked Levy about it and she won't shut up about it before.

"He better get something good.." My head hit the table lazily, and waited for the idiot to get back.
