I Will Be The Harem King 53 Meeting Mavis

"We're on Tenrou Island. The holy ground of the Fairy Tail guild. And also the resting place of Fairy Tail's first Guild Master, Mavis Vermillion." I replied to Erza's question nonchalantly but the rest of them were gob smacked as to what this meant.

"What!?" All of them except Anna shouted at my answer as they began to fire multiple questions at me at once.

"Calm down, it's nothing serious. Master Makarov already knows about this. Me and Anna will be living here while we're at the guild. Well anyways, let's go pick a spot to build our house." I managed to stop them from asking so many questions at once, but they were still quite anxious so I told them my purpose in coming here and to get their mind busy in order for them to relax.

"Wait, what do you mean the both of you will be living here? What about us? Will we only see you at the guild?" Mira chimed in suddenly and asked me that.

"Well, I don't mind you coming here to live with us but not right now. There are still things that will need you to be present at the guild. For now, we can catchup and spend some time with each other but I will need you to continue with how you did things before I came." I told them seriously while not trying to push them aside or anything.

It was slightly uncomfortable for me to do this to them after having just reunited but I don't want to mess up the Fairy Tail events that will be coming. I will at least have the next week or so to spend completely with them so I guess that can be considered a conciliation prize. After I was able to settle their emotions down, we set off deeper into the island to find a place to build a home for us.

For the first few minutes, the atmosphere between us was somewhat awkward after what happened but that soon faded as Anna and I were able to get everyone to talk again and focus on finding a place to build a house.

After two and a half hours, the group was slightly tired and hungry so we decided to rest up a bit and have lunch before once again setting out. What I forgot to mention was the weather. It was hot as h.e.l.l. Tenrou Island is known for having just one climate, summer, throughout the year but this is ridiculous.

We had only walked for a few minutes before we were all covered in sweat. While I would admit that the sight of the girls with their clothes sticking to their bodies while their clothes began to become see through, it was still hard to bear this degree of heat.

While resting, we were being watched by a group of Tenrou Squirrels. The Tenrou Squirrel is a small rodent-like creature, which, as the name suggests, is highly reminiscent of a squirrel, with dark spots covering its back. As again implied by its name, it only lives on Tenrou Island, inhabiting its southern part, and is an extremely uncommon sight even for scholars who have studied all of the world's organism.

As they were harmless and looked to be hungry, we gave them some of the leftover food from lunch before getting our things packed and going deeper into the island once again in order to find our future home. As we kept walking, it didn't take long before we found ourselves in a small clearing surrounded by thick vegetation and in the middle of the clearing stood a gravestone.

This was a large and yet sober structure composed of light stone, with a series of three rectangular steps, flanked by four small pillars with square sections, one sitting at each edge, being topped by a pair of vertically-placed, flat carved stones, with small geometrical parts jutting upwards on each summit, on the side nearest to the other stone, and a circular hole being generated by two carved semicircles present on each stone's inner side. Vegetation has grown throughout the structure possibly due to its age, with small plants and moss covering it here and there. Sitting at the grave's sides are two simple, short rectangular stones, similarly covered in vegetation, and leading to it is a pathway consisting of several small, flat stones placed one near the other without an accurate order. In front of the structure, to the pathway's right, is the section of a short metal fence, with the top edges of its poles shaped like rough Fleur-de-lis.

"That should be the grave of The First Guild Master of Fairy Tail, Mavis Vermillion." I said as I looked at the surroundings trying to see if Mavis herself was present, watching us.

"Looking for me?" A voice appeared behind me as I turned around not at all surprised at the sudden voice and presence, well technically she doesn't have a presence but you get the point. It seems the others haven't heard her as they went forward to inspect the grave and pay their respects at the mean time cleaning it up a bit.

While in front of me stood The First Guild Master of Fairy Tail, Mavis. Mavis looked to be around thirteen by appearance, of course she was actually older than that. She has very long, wavy, pastel yellow-blonde hair that reaches down to her feet with a small ahoge, large green eyes with no pupils, peachy skin and a slight child-like build. She is wearing a frilly, pink layered robe with a red ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. Around the chest are three blue diamond patterns with two blue triangles above. Each series of these is outlined in a hot pink. She wears wing-like adornments around her ears and small hoop earrings. She also seems to prefer going barefoot as she wasn't wearing anything on her foot.

As to not have the others hear us, I put a s.p.a.ce barrier around Mavis and I, to which Mavis just gave her trademark smile without any word.

"So, how's life going, Master Mavis?" I wasn't exactly expecting Mavis to appear before me so soon so that was all I could come up with at the moment.

"Muu, just call me Mavis. Even I am not calling you gramps just because you are way older than me right? So just call me Mavis, Mr. Ray Cross." Mavis puffed her cheeks at my question before whining like a baby.

"Says the person who kissed a man even older than me. So I guess Zeref told you about me? But how did you know it was me?" I am not really surprised she knew about me as I already guessed that Zeref would talk about me to her. So I just crossed my arms and decided to trade some banter with her.

"Waa, waa, you can't talk about stuff like that. How did you even know that? Were you peeking? Wait, he's older than you?" Mavis become fl.u.s.tered at my comments as she waved her arms wildly while firing blaming questions at me.

"Humph, who do take me for? I don't need to peek in order to get dirt on you. Shame on you, kissing old men while not wearing shoes." I sent another blow as I continued my teasing of Mavis. She was almost at the point of tears as she gave me a cute glare. Don't misunderstand though, I'm not making a move on her. Unless of course she makes a move on me herself.

"Stop, stop. There are more important things to talk about. And it's just that I don't like to wear shoes you iiidiot." Mavis kept waving her hands for a bit before calming down and putting a serious expression.

"Shall we start now, Mage of Time?" Mavis told something incomprehensible from the get go just now. Didn't she?
