Fairy Tail
[insert text: It's a gorgeous change of style! // New meetings and bonds are sure to be born here!!]
Natsu: It's the new Fairy Tail!!!!
Erza: It's... huge...
Gray: Yeah...

4
People: Hey! Welcome back! // Bet you got a surprise, huh! This here is our brand new Guild!
Natsu: *sta~~~~~~re*
People: What, Natsu, you lost for words?
Natsu: But... I mean... man...! / It's TOTALLY different from how it was before!
People: Well, yeah. We did build the whole thing from scratch, y'know.
Gray: We've got an open-air cafe now...? // And a souvenir shop by the entrance?!!
Max: Welcome! Oh, it's you guys... Welcome back~!
Lucy: Ahh...!! Max is running a shop!
Max: We've got Fairy Tail T-shirts, wristbands... // ...mugs and towels... // ...even special Lacrima crystals!

5
Max: But the most popular items we've got are these Mage Figures! 3000 Jewels apiece!
Lucy: When exactly did all this......?
Happy: Hey, look!!! There's a figure of Lucy!
Lucy: Whaaaaaaa?!!! // Don't just make stuff like this without asking me~~! / [aside]it's embarrassing...[/aside]
Happy: They've done a pretty good job on it, though! // Whoa!
Max: Naturally, the clothing is all removable!
Lucy: Aaaaaaaghh!!!!
Gray: ...Huh, mine isn't even wearing any to start with...
Lucy: [aside]get those clothes back on~![/aside]
Erza: I'm not too sure about mine, either. The armour should be made out of real metal. // Besides, since when is my skin so stiff?
Kana: Hm?

6
Kana: Oh, you guys are back now, huh? // C'mon, you've gotta come inside!
Lucy: Kana!!
Natsu: Whooooaa!!!
Lucy: Ohh, that's lovely!
Erza: Yes... rather impressive.
Gray: What's up, Natsu?
Natsu: It's not like before...

7
Waitress: Hey there~!♡ Welcome to Fairy Tail~!
Gray: The waitresses have got new outfits...!
Erza: Well, they look cute enough.
Lucy: Was that the Master's idea...? / [aside]Wait, where's Mira-san?[/aside]
Natsu: It's all different...
Kana: And that's not all we've got that's new! // Behind the bar, we now have a pool!!!
Levi: Hey there, Lu-chan~!
Kana: Downstairs, there's an amusement centre!!! // And perhaps the biggest difference of all - the second floor!! Anybody's allowed to go up there now.
Someone: Hey!
Kana: Although naturally you still have to have an S-Rank mage in your team to go on an S-Rank quest.

8
Lucy: We can go up to the second floor~?!
Kana: That's right!
Natsu: ......
Makarov: So you're finally back, are you?
Gray: ! // Ahh...!
Makarov: This is our newest member, Lluvia. / [aside]cute, ain't she?[/aside]
Lluvia: It's good to see you all!
Gray: Hahah!! So you really have joined up, huh?!!!
Erza: Lluvia... Thank you for all your help back there.
Makarov: Hm? You know one another?!
Lluvia: Lluvia has all of you to thank!! Lluvia will do her best!!! // [aside]my rival in love...[/aside]
Lucy: Good luck! // [aside]I'm really not...[/aside]

9
Makarov: In that case, you probably already know, but... she used to be one of Phantom's...
Erza: Yes, yes, don't worry about that. She's our nakama now.
Makarov: I see, I see! // Well... make her feel welcome! // Oh, and there's one more new member I'd like you all to meet. // Hey!! Come introduce yourself!
Happy: !! // Someone else?!
Lucy: Wha - ?!!
Gray: Y - You're kidding, right?!!

10
Natsu: GAZILLE?!!!
Gray: What's this punk doing - ?!!!
Lucy: Aaaaaaghhhhhhh!!!!
Gray: Master!!! What kind of joke is this supposed to be?!!!
Lluvia: Wait!! Lluvia brought him here!
Erza: Lluvia is one thing... but this guy was directly responsible for our Guild's destruction.
Gazille: Hmph...

11
Makarov: Now, now... he was only acting on José's orders back then; it couldn't be helped. / You know what they say - yesterday's enemies are today's friends.
Levi: Uh-huh... I'm n - not bothered at all, really...
Lucy: Levi-chan...
Natsu: Stop screwing around!!! I can't work with a guy like that!
Gazille: Oh, don't worry. I have no intention of being all buddy-buddy with you. // I need work; that's all there is to it. One Guild is as good as the next. / Not that I ever thought I'd end up working at a nasty little Guild like this...
Natsu: What did you say?!!
Lluvia: Gazille-kun always seems so lonely, Lluvia couldn't bear to just leave him... / I - I mean...!!! Lluvia doesn't like him or anything...!!

12
Makarov: It is the duty of an old man like me to guide young men who have lost their way back onto the right path. / He's not a bad guy at heart, you know. / ...At least, I hope not.
Erza: If this is the Master's decision, then I will support it... / ...but I think we should at least have someone keep an eye on him for the time being.
Makarov: Quite.
Natsu: Uuuughhhhhh...!!!! // I dunno, this new Guild... It just doesn't feel right...
Kana: Hurry up and take a seat! The main event is about to start!
Natsu: ?
Elfman: Hey.
Gray: What's all this now...?
Natsu: Too dark...
Kana: Stop doing that! It's a show, it's meant to be dark!!
Lucy: There's a stage over there...!

13
Lucy: Mira-san?!!!
People: That's what we've been waiting for~!!! // Mira-cha~~~n!!! // Miraja~~~ne!!!
Mirajane: I gently touch the desk where you used to sit... // Alone once more today with the shadows...

14
Mirajane: I look up to the sky and whisper a prayer~ // You're out there somewhere too, under this vast sky~ // I bear with the tears, even as I tremble... // Even when the darkness threatens to swallow me~ // Don't you forget~~
Lucy: This is great~!
Kana: It's a song for mages leaving on their missions.
Mirajane: There will always be~~ // A place for you~~ to come home to~~

15
Mirajane: And people waiting there~~ // For you~~
People: Mira-cha~~~~n!!! // You're the best~~~!!! // All ri~~~ght!!!
Gazille: Hmph...
Natsu: OWWWWWWW!!!!
Gazille: Heheh.

16
Natsu: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!!! YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!!!!
Gazille: Hmm?
People: SHUT UP!!! STOP INTERRUPTING MIRA-CHAN'S SONG!!!!
Natsu: Guahh!
Gazille: Nghh!
Natsu: OKAY, WHO THREW THAT?!!!!
Lucy: Aaahhhhh!
Kana: Whoaa!
Gray: Dammit, Natsu!!! Stop screwing around!!!

17
Erza: My... // ...strawberry cake...
Elfman: Dammit, you guys!!! Shut up and listen to Nee-chan's song!!!
Erza: SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!
Natsu: Ngguahhh!
Someone: Somebody hold Natsu down!!!
Makarov: ......
Mirajane: I guess this is no time for a ballad, huh? // Let's rock the house, then!!! // [aside]transfo~rm![/aside]
Lucy: This place hasn't really changed one bit...

18
Lucy: But then... // I guess that's what makes it Fairy Tail!

19
Makarov: Why... why couldn't they just bottle it for one day... // Those damn brats... // Tomorrow's the day the reporter comes to collect data on the Guild, you know~~~~!!!!
Lucy: Reporter?!
Makarov: Cut it out, you lowlifes!!!! Clean this place up!!!!
Gray: Oi, Gramps!!! Don't go all giant on us - !!!
Lucy: ...So that's what the shop and the waitresses and the stage were for...
