With the village being brought back to normal, the Giants celebrate the Mages' victory, being thankful to them. As Wendy and Gray start to eat with them, Erza arrives, wanting to know what exactly happened to the village. After Lucy tells her it was attacked by an Ice Devil Slayer, the Giants inform them that facing the enemy with their weapons is all they can remember. Lucy then proceeds to say that the culprit has mistaken Atlas Flame for a Demon, with Erza coming to an obvious conclusion that he did it due to a misunderstanding. Gray then reveals to the group that Doriate told him they've opened the gates of Hell, with Erza immediately figuring out it's Tartaros he was talking about, meaning that the Devil Slayer must have been its member. Due to the mentioned facts, the team starts to think there might be another reason for freezing the village, one that they don't know yet. Even so, Lucy still have uneasy about it.

Afterwards, Lucy wonders about Flare, finding her to be hiding behind a tree

Afterwards, Lucy wonders about Flare, finding her to be hiding behind a tree. As she calls her name, the Giants suddenly get serious, wanting to see her. With Flare thinking she won't be accepted back, the natives see her grown up, even though she is still tiny to them. They then proceed by asking her about her experiences with the outside world and after Flare answers their question, they start smirking, telling her that the Sun Village will always be her home, no matter where she goes, subsequently welcoming her back, making her cry out of happiness. The Fairy Tail Mages are happy for her, especially Lucy, who starts to cry after seeing her smile so warmly after a long time. As the evening comes, the Mages and the Giants spend their night talking, eating and having fun in general.

Meanwhile, Minerva comes back to the Succubus Eye headquarters, finding it to be in havoc. As she wanders around, she finds out that the hall is filled with many puppets of some sort. Soon after, someone comes in, turning out to be Kyôka of the Nine Demon Gates of Tartaros, who clears Minerva's suspicions by telling her that her power "enhances" people. Minerva then starts to think it could be a punishment for failing her mission, showing signs of fear. Kyôka, however, doesn't care about Silver's personal request of watching the Sun Village, after which she tells Minerva that she is looking for more recruits for Tartaros' impending assault. As Minerva refers to her as a fool for slaughtering the others instead of recruiting them, Kyôka calls them weaklings, using her "Enhancement" on Minerva afterwards.

The next day, the Mages head back to Warrod to give him a report about their completed job, as well as to receive a reward for completing it. However, they end up being exhausted due to the long way back. As they rest, Lucy remembers when the giants and Flare saluted them when they departed. Briefly after, the team continues their trek, eventually starting to wonder about the reward for their job, thinking it might be big due to the client being one of the Ten Wizard Saints. When they arrive back to Warrod and tell him about their success, Warrod responds by expressing his pride in them. Gray then wonders what happened to the Hunters all of a sudden, with Lucy telling him about their defeat. Regardless, Warrod is surprised that Tartaros is involved and then rewards the team with a potato, greatly disappointing them.

In the evening, the girls visit a hot spring, wanting to relax after their hard work. In the meantime, Warrod has made a dinner for the Mages, with the boys starting to eat immediately. As the girls come, Warrod offers them tea with healing properties, which turns out to be much bitter than they expected. Warrod then reveals himself to be one of the founding members of Fairy Tail, still having his guild mark. This greatly shocks the team, but, due to that fact, it explains Makarov's reaction to Warrod's job request. Warrod then proceeds by telling the group that he's happy he met them, going further by telling them that the bonds between the members are all that matters, after which he quotes Fairy Tail's founding words. Due to Warrod's obvious old age, Natsu wonders if he could know something about E.N.D., with the former not having knowledge about it. He does, however, tell them about the mysteriousness of such Dark Guild, as well as its demonic rituals, scaring the team to think that there's a Demon in Tartaros. Natsu, however, gets fired up, wanting to fight them to gain more knowledge, all the while not knowing he is hitting Erza, getting petrified of fear upon finding that out.

Lucy was sigh to see Natsu get beaten by Erza after what he did to her. Warrod then look at Lucy with a serious face. He was going over Lucy make Lucy look at him. Seeing his expression face make her wonder what is it. "Lucy, I want to tell you something. This is about a woman who seem like you but a different of your name." Said Warrod calmly. Lucy was look uncomfortable to heard that. "What do you mean, Mr. Warrod?" Said Lucy uneasy tone. Warrod was sigh knowing it will make her shock to heard that. "I don't know but I have a feeling that you may know her. She's Layla Fullbuster." Said Warrod looking at Lucy's face. Lucy was shock to heard that.

"What? My mom? No way! Impossible!" - Lucy
