Chapter 558 Minerba's Loss of Composure
After a brief introduction and exchange, Erza was pulled away by Miriam and the other three to catch up.
While expressing their longing, they also told Erza about the various adventures they had encountered over the past two and a half years.
If you don't pay special attention to their extremely revealing outfits, the whole scene is relaxed and harmonious.
Kagura was among them.
The girl's initial awkwardness vanished, and her beautiful eyes never left Erza, filled with admiration, longing, gratitude, and affection.
Just now, she recognized Erza as the kind older sister who helped her hide in the barrel more than ten years ago, thus avoiding being captured by the Dark Magic Cult to build the Tower of Paradise!
So, similar to how things developed in the future, at Ul's suggestion, she immediately declared that she wanted to recognize Erza as her older sister.
Erza readily agreed, accepting her new sister with the utmost respect.
It's worth mentioning that although the long sword Kagura currently wields is the same one from the future world, its name has been changed from "Revenge Blade: Fearless Blade" to "Guardian Blade," signifying that she draws her sword only to protect the most important Onii-chan in the world.
Yes, he's definitely a brother complex character.
"How's it going, Chess? Are the Sabertooths under my command doing alright?"
At the bar, Uru picked up his glass, his gaze sweeping meaningfully over the powerful and solid auras of the mages around him. "I believe that surpassing you all in the near future isn't impossible~"
Chase smiled and raised his glass to clink with hers: "It's not just you guys who have made progress."

Putting aside the fact that everyone has an exhibitionist streak, Sabertooth is indeed quite formidable in terms of both size and strength, and is in no way inferior to established guilds like Blue Pegasus and Snake Scale.
While Ultear's role in the council certainly played a part, the fact that they were able to develop a guild on the verge of disbanding to this extent in just two or three years is astounding.
All I can say is that I was truly wise and shrewd to recommend Uru to the old man to take over Sabertooth!
"No matter what, there's still a two-and-a-half-year gap. I don't know how strong the Sabertooth will be in the future, but—"
Uru, unaware that the shameless card player was secretly boasting, downed his glass of strong liquor in one gulp and confidently declared, "Minebah and Stinger now will absolutely surprise you!"
"Oh right, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it."
Chase downed his liquor in one gulp as well. "Where are those brats?"
"I just took on an S-level commission a couple of days ago. Judging by the time, I should be back soon."
Uru raised his right hand and casually propped his cheek up. After thinking for a moment, he added, "In order to match Natsu, they specially formed the strongest team exclusively for Sabertooth."
Boom!
Just then, a loud bang rang out outside the guild.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it.
On the collapsed gate, several figures could be seen appearing and disappearing amidst the billowing smoke.
"We're back!" Stinger's excited voice came from inside.
Then came Roger's voice: "I thought it would be much harder, but an S-rank commission isn't such a big deal."
"Flo thinks so too!"
"Hmph, with my strongest squad, Rector and Stinger, there's no way we can imagine a mission failing!"
"If you listen to me properly, it would be even better if you didn't destroy half of the ancient ruins city—"
Minerva sounded very tired.
"I'm so sorry, I must have brought bad luck to everyone —"
"Yukino, it's not your fault, it's all—Chise-nii?!"
As the dust settled, Minerva's gaze fell precisely on the man in front of the bar.
The familiar figure and unchanged appearance startled her, but then a surge of joy instantly filled her slightly aloof face.
"Hey, long time no see, Minerva," Chase said with a smile, raising his hand in greeting.
"Brother Chess, it really is you!"
Almost instinctively, Minerva ran out and lunged into Chase's arms.
Having experienced events such as the Island of Calamity's Ruins, resolving the crisis of the guild's disbandment, and joining forces to defeat the Oración Seis, Chess had long been like a brother to the girl.
Although I knew in advance that Chase had returned safely, seeing him in person still made me incredibly excited.
Upon seeing this, the Saberbite Tiger mages were all dumbfounded, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Although, thanks to Chess and Uru's intervention, the Minerva of this world is not as cold-blooded and arrogant as the one in the future world, and is quite tolerant and cherishes her guildmates, her inherent pride still remains.
In addition, she needs to maintain the composed image of the eldest sister of Saberbite Tiger, so she rarely shows this girlish side to outsiders.
"That's great, Minerva. I heard from Uru that you're already an S-class mage." Chess smiled and patted Minerva's head.
"Hehe, I'm still far behind Brother Chess."
Seemingly realizing she had lost her composure, Minerva quickly withdrew from Chase's embrace, blushing with embarrassment.
Not far away, Erza, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but purse her lips and think to herself: "She comes up here and hugs and kisses Chase right away, what a shameless woman!"
With Minerva from the future world as an example, she found it hard to connect the woman in front of her, who was already quite grown up, with the cute girl who was only half a head taller than Wendy two and a half years ago.
Of course, despite her displeasure, Erza didn't actually consider Minerva a "potential threat."
Ultimately, at this point in time, Minerva was at best just a little girl who wanted to get closer to her brother, and Chase clearly didn't have any romantic feelings for her.
The only downside is that Wendy didn't come along this time.
Otherwise, she would definitely beg and plead with her best friend Minerva to find out what the other person had been eating to grow up over the past two and a half years!
"Hey, really? I've never seen the young lady so out of control before!"
The blond youth, wearing a fancy top hat and a reddish-brown eye patch, looked astonished, his words filled with disbelief.
Rufus Noah, a bard singing under the red moon, a Memory-Making Magician.
Although the grass on former guild leader Germain's grave is already over two meters high, Rogge and the others still retain the original way of addressing Miss Minerva, and those of them who joined the guild later also call her that.
Beside Rufus, a muscular man dressed in a tiger-skin skirt narrowed his eyes, his attention fixed on Chess, a smirk playing on his lips: "That guy, is he the legendary Fairy Tail Destroyer Chess? Interesting—"
Black arcs of electricity danced across the surface of the bulging, blocky muscles, radiating intense fighting spirit.
Oga Nanagil, the Thunder God Slayer Mage.
Chase glanced at the two slightly childish-looking boys out of the corner of his eye, showing no surprise at the fact that they would become Saberbite Tiger mages.
Or to be more precise, this is simply a matter of course.
If trash like Germain could attract two people to join, then it goes without saying that Uru, who is stronger and more famous, is even more likely to do so!
Just then, black lightning suddenly exploded, spreading in all directions in the form of shockwaves, causing the entire Saberbite Tiger guild to tremble slightly.
Despite his bold and warlike nature, Oga could not suppress his fighting spirit and took a heavy step forward, his target being Chess.
"I've heard so much about you, Mr. Chase. I am Oga Nanagil, the Thunder God Slayer Mage of Saberbite Tiger."
"I wonder if I'll have the chance to challenge you?"
