Chapter 145: Gérard Looks Back
[Card:]
Name: Charle
Magic: Aera
Likes: Darjeeling tea
Dislikes: Tomcats
[/Card]
Notes:
A talking cat from Cait Shelter. Unlike Happy, she wears clothing.
She insists that she is looking after Wendy, but others have a tendency to think that she is Wendy's pet.
Her magic, Aera, is essentially identical to Happy's, but the connection between the two of them is as yet unclear.
She doesn't seem to like Happy very much at all, does she...?!

Blaine: I... Impossible... // Angel as well...? // I will not allow your deaths to go to waste... // I will crush the Light without delay!!!!
Angel: I'm not dead...

8
Erza: (Gérard is alive...)

9
Erza: (How...? // No, why is he in a place like this...? // How... // ...am I even supposed to face him...?)

10
Jura: What?!! // Nirvana is a form of magic with the power to alter people's personalities?!
Hoteye: Indeed it is, you see. // And the very first stage... / ...that is to say, the black light above us now, is to forcibly reverse the alignments of those who are caught between "good" and "evil".
Jura: I suppose that means you were caught between good and evil, then...?
Hoteye: I certainly did feel that what I was doing was wrong... even if it was for the sake of earning money.
Jura: You sound awfully happy about yourself, considering...
Hoteye: It was all for my brother! // I needed the money to search for my lost brother, you see! // When I look at you, it brings back all kinds of memories.
Jura: You don't mean to say... that I resemble this brother of yours, or...? / Hahah...

11
Hoteye: You look exactly like... the potatoes I used to eat with my brother, you see.
Jura: Vegetables?!!
Hoteye: Now... let us stop Blaine and the others, in the name of love!
Jura: Q... Quite...

12
Midnight: That makes two... // How very dull... is there no-one stronger?
Wendy: Maybe... it would have been better if I'd never come along......
Charle: Are you still saying things like that? Honestly...
Wendy: But...!
Charle: If you keep thinking so negatively, you could lose your heart to the darkness, you know.

13
Wendy: In the end... we ran away and left Lucy-san and the others behind, didn't we?
Charle: There was hardly anything we could have done in that situation.
Wendy: Ahh... // I really am...
Charle: But if you had not been here, Erza would have been dead by now.
Wendy: But we didn't even find Nirvana...
Charle: Oh, I don't know about that. // You were happy to be able to meet that Gérard, at least, weren't you?
Wendy: ...I...
Charle: Who exactly is this Gérard, anyway? // You said you owed him a debt... but I do not recall you ever mentioning such a thing.
Wendy: You're right... I never told you, did I? // It was seven years ago... // Sky Dragon Grandine had just vanished, and I was all alone... lost on the road...

14
Wendy: It was Gérard who saved me back then. // Well, actually, he was lost on the road as well. // So we ended up travelling aimlessly together for about a month.
[TN: ...chibi-Wendy is too cute to be allowed O_O]
Wendy: But then one day, he said something strange all of a sudden...
Flashback!Gérard: ......!!!!! // Anima?!!!
Charle: "Anima"?!
Wendy: Uh-huh... I still don't know what he meant by it... but he said it would be too dangerous for me to stay with him, so he left me in the care of a nearby Guild... // And that Guild was Cait Shelter...
Charle: So... what happened to Gérard after that?
Wendy: I never saw him again until today...

15
Wendy: I heard rumours, of course... about a Councillor who looked just like him... / About how he'd been doing all sorts of terrible things... // But the Gérard I knew was incredibly kind... // Do you think...... // ...he still remembers me at all...?

Cobra: (Erza?!! // She's recovered?! // Ugh!!! I can't believe I didn't notice her approaching... // I can't let her take out Gérard until Nirvana is fully activated!)
Erza: .................. // Gérard...
Gérard: Erza...

19
Erza: Wh... Why... are you... here...?
Gérard: I don't know. // Erza... // Er...za... // That word is all I can remember...
Erza: Eh?
Cobra: ?!
Gérard: Could you tell me...? // Who am I...? // Do you know who I am...?

20
Gérard: Who is this "Erza"...? // I can't remember a thing...!
