Chapter 39 Mirajane's Decision
Although Mirajane didn't know, Shirou Kotomine remembered it vividly.
Before Mirajane fully regains her abilities, she deeply regrets her current situation in two ways.
Those were the war between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord.
And the internal war within Fairy Tail.
Both of these battles were major events that could destroy Fairy Tail as it is today.
Mirajane was able to work comfortably as a service staff member in the guild because she trusted her companions implicitly.
However, sometimes, things don't go as planned.
During the battle against the Phantom Lord, Guild Master Makarov was ambushed and lost all his magic.
Of the five S-class mages in the guild, only Erza is on the front lines.
Their opponents, however, are top-tier mages who, like Chairman Makarov, hold the title of "Ten Saints".
As for the internal conflict within Fairy Tail, it caused her even more heartache.
Mirajane is unaware of what the future holds, but Shirou Kotomine, who is constantly recalling his past memories, is fully aware of it.
So he came up with this gift.
Unlike the mages of this world who almost entirely rely on their own magical power to fight, the magicians of the Type-Moon world rely on more things in battle.
Besides magical costumes and magical bases, there are many other items or techniques that can provide magical power.
After all, the magicians in the modern Type-Moon system do have too little magical power.
It is precisely for this reason that this technology has become so advanced.
In this world, since mages generally have enough magical power, such technology is not very advanced.
Even if there are highly advanced similar technologies, they are still in the hands of a few people.
What Shirou Mine did was to improve the quality of this technology, based on the rudimentary technology of this world and inspired by the technology of the Type-Moon world.
The technology that was ultimately created was the one recorded in the notebook that Shirou Kotomine gave to Mirajane at this time.
"Through this magic, Teacher Mira, you can connect to other independent sources of magic and borrow their magic to cast your own spells."
"I said seriously."
After hearing Shirou Kotomine's suggestion, Mirajane looked at the notebook in her hand for a moment and then slowly put it down.
"Shirou, I understand your good intentions, but I don't need them."
Mirajane shook her head.
"No matter what I was like in the past, I am no longer a mage, and I have no intention of becoming a mage again."
"This kind of life is great for me, and I'm happy to be able to help others."
"And even if danger arises, there's still Elfman; he can protect me."
Mirajane said with a smile.
She genuinely believed that.
Perhaps she was not used to this job when she first started it.
But after working for so long, she has come to love the job.
"I understand your thoughts, Ms. Mira."
"But in my hometown there is a widely circulated saying: having a sword but not using it and not having a sword at all are two different things."
"Although I have only been with Fairy Tail for a short time, I can clearly see the crisis that Fairy Tail is facing now."
"Fairy Tail in crisis? What crisis?!"
Upon hearing Shirou Kotomine's words, Mirajane immediately sat up straight.
"I see three main aspects to the crisis."
"So many?"
Mirajane's expression grew increasingly serious.
"There are indeed many. First of all, there are internal problems. Laxus, who is most qualified to inherit the guild, seems to be very dissatisfied with the current state of the guild."
"Regardless of whether he inherits the chairmanship in the future, a conflict is absolutely unavoidable."
Kotomine Shirou said slowly.
"Laxus?"
Mirajane shook his head.
As childhood friends, Mirajane knows Laxus very well.
She also had a premonition about the crisis that Shirou Kotomine mentioned.
As one of the five S-class mages of Fairy Tail, Laxus is now even stronger than Erza.
If he really causes a conflict, it will be a huge incident.
"Anything else?"
Mirajah continued to inquire.
Mirajane had a premonition about what would happen to Laxus.
But she knew nothing about the other two crises.
"The other two came from outside, one of which is the Phantom Lord!"
Seeing Mirajane's extremely serious expression, Shirou Kotomine continued, "As far as I know, Fairy Tail has only gradually gained fame in recent years and is known as the strongest guild in the Kingdom of Fiore."
"But before that, the one who had this name was the ruler of the Phantom Lords, and their guild leader was also a great mage known as the 'Ten Wizard Saints'."
"And this archmage doesn't have a very good reputation; he seems to be a petty person."
"I believe that as our reputation grows, we will inevitably have to confront the Phantom Lord guild sooner or later."
"The ruler of Phantoms?"
Mirajane muttered to himself.
But she quickly shook her head.
"That shouldn't be possible. The council wouldn't allow such a thing to happen."
As the organization that manages all the magic guilds on the continent, the Council of Magic would certainly not allow its two strongest guilds to go to war.
"The Council?"

"Ms. Mira, do you really think the council can handle something like this?"
"Forget about the Phantom Lord, when have we ever listened to the Council?"
Kotomine Shirou's words directly shattered Mirajane's spirit.
Indeed, they themselves are the most troublesome problem children in the council.
If the Phantom Lords truly intended to be their enemies, they would naturally ignore the Council's words.
"Besides that, there's also the Dark Guild."
Seeing this, Shirou Kotomine continued, "As our reputation grows, we will gradually become the main force in the fight against the Dark Guilds, and at that time we will inevitably be hated by the Dark Guilds."
"Given the style of the Dark Guilds, what wouldn't they do?"
"Mira, think about what happened in the Iron Forest. Given the nature of the Dark Guild, wouldn't they do something like taking advantage of our main force being away and then launching a sneak attack on our headquarters?"
"If that were to actually happen, would having power be the same for you, Ms. Mira?"
"Of course they're different!"
Mirajah shouted loudly.
Mirajane trembled at the thought of the scene described by Shirou Kotomine.
She absolutely did not want to see that kind of scene.
"It was my carelessness. I thought we would continue with our old life, but I forgot that as everyone has grown, we are no longer the small guild we used to be."
"Yes, we are already one of the top guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore."
"We will face even more challenges ahead, and I cannot hold everyone back."
Mirajane picked up Shirou Kotomine's notebook from the table again, and looking at the knowledge inside, she made up her mind.
She wants to reclaim her power.
But this process is destined to be anything but smooth.
Before this, the only thing she could rely on was the magic given to her by Shirou Kotomine.
"Thank you, Shirou!"
Mirajane expressed her sincere gratitude.
