Chapter 379 The City of a Hundred Flowers, Krocas
The next day, under the guidance of Future Makarov, the participants and atmosphere team of the Grand Magic Games successfully arrived at Crocus, the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore.
Compared to Magnolia, this city, known as the City of Flowers, is much more prosperous, with people coming and going on wide avenues adorned with all kinds of flowers.
Besides locals, tourists, vendors, and magicians from all over the world who have gathered here for the Grand Magic Games can be seen everywhere, making it a lively and bustling place.
As the Fairy Tail members walked down the street, they curiously looked around at the scenery of the royal capital, and finally stopped at a central square with a fountain.
"The registration process is complete, and you all know the location of the designated hotel, right?" Future Makarov looked at the Future Strongest Squad.
The designated hotel is the accommodation specially arranged by the Kingdom of Fiore for the participants. Other partners who came to cheer them on will need to rent rooms elsewhere.
Of course, the others didn't know that this didn't include Chase's B team.
"Yes, it's in the southeast corner, not far from here." Gray nodded.
"But the fact that they didn't arrange accommodations for everyone in the guild is really stingy of the Grand Magic Games organizers, isn't it?" Future Lucy complained.
"Love~ I feel like Lucy is the least qualified person to say such things!" Future Happy said bluntly.
"Shut up, you dead cat!" ×2
Two Lucy voices rang out at the same time, drawing strange looks from passersby.
In the future, Lucy, hidden in the card, hurriedly covered her mouth.
To avoid being discovered and disqualified from the competition, everyone on Chase's team carried themselves as cards.
It has all the senses of the outside world, and when needed, it can switch places with "itself" and go out for some fresh air.
Of course, all cards are under Chase's monitoring to ensure that no unexpected situations occur.
"Damn it, why don't Chess and Eclair have to go through all this trouble!"
In the future, Natsu's card shows him looking envious and longing to go out and play, while Chess stands outside with everyone else.
"Because they're not in any guilds in this world."
Happy comforted Natsu in a low voice, like a father soothing a child, "Just be patient for now, Natsu. We can trade with them when we have the chance~"
Although Lucy stopped her loud voice in time, the passersby who had been drawn in did not look away.
However, their focus was not on the strange sounds, but on the Fairy Tail crests on everyone's bodies.
"If I'm not mistaken, those strange guys are mages from Fairy Tail, right?"
"Pfft, Fairy Tail? That perennial bottom-ranked team, how dare they even come to compete?"
"Hahaha, only with them can the power of the Sabertooth, which I admire most, be truly highlighted!"
Hearing the undisguised sarcasm and ridicule, the hot-tempered Future Natsu couldn't take it anymore and wanted to rush over and talk to them about physics.
"Forget it, Natsu, there's no need to pay them any attention. We'll have a chance to slap them in the face later."
With one hand supporting Asuka on his shoulder, Chess used the other hand to pull Future Natsu back as easily as if he were pulling a rag.
He wouldn't mind beating up a mage with some skill, but these boring passersby weren't even worth paying attention to.
"Big brother Chess is so awesome! He subdued big brother Natsu in one go~!" Asuka clapped her hands repeatedly, dancing with joy.
Unaware of Chess's true thoughts, Future Makarov glanced at Future Natsu, who was squatting on the ground, and waved his hand dismissively: "That's right, let them laugh if they want to. We just need to do our own thing."
Fairy Tail isn't the kind of guild that needs to care about what others think.
"Ah~ Since the president says so, let's not be polite!"
Future Happy flew up to Future Jet and the chubby Future Troy, and cheekily covered his mouth, "Pfft!"
"Why are you smiling at us?!" x2
Future Jet and Future Troy felt deeply offended.
"That's strange, putting aside Laxus and Gajeel, who both prefer to be alone—"
Future Lucy glanced around and noticed something strange. "Where are Mira and Juvia? They're nowhere to be seen!"
They clearly came together, but after registering for the Grand Magic Games, they disappeared without a trace.
"They must have gone to check in other people, right?" Future Gray said.
Is it really?
Lucy in the card looked suspicious. Even if it was just checking in, this seemed a bit too rushed, and besides—
Chesgo's comment "there will be a chance" also sounded strange!
"Ahem, let's leave Mira and the others aside for now. You guys should familiarize yourselves with the rules of the competition first."
In the future, fearing he would be exposed, Makarov coughed twice to interrupt everyone's speculation and pulled out a thick book from his pocket.
According to Alzak and his friends, the content of the Grand Magic Games varies every year, including shooting and running events, and their partners who are good at these events happened not to participate.
"Lu-chan, let me help you look." Future Levy put on her Kazemura glasses, which allow her to read quickly.
After some research, everyone quickly learned the general rules of this year's Grand Magic Games.
Firstly, participants must wear guild crests, and the guild leader cannot participate, which is to be expected.
The competition events will not be announced in advance; they will only be announced on the day of the competition.
Finally, and most importantly, all participants must remain in the designated hotel dormitory before midnight tonight!
While everyone was still discussing this strange request, Future Natsu and Future Happy had already run off.
"Okay, okay, let's go play while we still have time!"
"I love you!"
Watching the person and cat dash dozens of meters away in a flash, Future Lucy sighed deeply, one hand on her forehead: "Do they really know—"
"That's right, then we'll be free to do as we please for now."
In the future, Gray reaches an agreement with the Gray in the card, says goodbye, and turns to leave, emphasizing a carefree attitude.
"Um, President, we'd also like to visit the famous Melcolias Palace, the place where the King is said to live!" Future Wendy said, pulling Charlotte along.
It seems they had prepared a plan in advance.
"I'm going back to the hotel to check if anything's wrong. Lucy, what about you guys?" Future Erza asked.
Having learned about Team B from her own words, she originally intended to give the strongest team a final intensive training session. However, upon further reflection, she realized that a balance between work and rest before the competition was also important, so she simply decided against it.
"Oh? We'd like to grab a bite to eat first, and then do some shopping with Aclaea. I heard there are lots of trendy beauty salons around Krocas."
Upon hearing this, Future Lucy, who had just been complaining about Future Nazhabi, immediately revealed her own plans.
This was something she, Lucy, and Eclair had decided on from the beginning.
Thus, with the permission of the future Makarov, everyone began to move freely with their counterparts.
