Chapter 233 Return to Fairy Tail
1000: 1.
This is a proportion that even Shirou Kotomine himself had not considered beforehand.
Because it's just too big.
1000:1 means that for every day that passes in the Uruk world, the Fairy Tail world will experience a thousand days, or three years.
In this way, Shirou Kotomine's initial plan to stay in the Fairy Tail world for seven years would only translate to two days in the Uruk world.
This immediately put Kotomine Shirou at ease.
He no longer needed to worry about staying in this world too long and missing the final battle.
That's almost impossible.
"Then I can move around this world without worry now."
Looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, Shirou Kotomine sighed.
This is the temporary accommodation that the Fairy Tail crew set up for Kotomine Shirou, but as soon as he arrived here, he returned to Uruk.
So he wasn't very familiar with this place.
But it doesn't matter.
This place is destined to become a frequent haunt of Shirou Kotomine in the future.
After all, aside from guild matters, he will spend most of his time on research in the future.
This will be where he secludes himself for spiritual practice.
Only in places like this, far from the city, could Shirou Kotomine focus on his research into magic and sorcery.
And so that they don't have to worry about what consequences they might cause.
"Let's go back to Fairy Tail now."
Pushing open the door to the room, Shirou Kotomine stepped into the forest.
Listening to the chirping of insects and birds in the forest, Shirou Kotomine smiled slightly and walked towards Magnolia's direction.
On the way, Shirou Kotomine suddenly realized another benefit of the 1000:1 time scale.
With more time available, Shirou Kotomine can now devote more energy to the guild.
After all, there wasn't much time left in Uruk.
If the proportion of time is not very large, Shirou Kotomine will definitely devote the vast majority of his energy to his own training.
After all, this is the most important thing.
In that case, he wouldn't be able to devote much energy to guild affairs; she could only act as a stabilizing force, and everything else would have to rely on others.
But now that he has more time, Shirou Kotomine can devote more energy to the guild.
"Is this another world?"
Ereshkigal's voice suddenly rang out.
"That's right. Although we've been to this world over a hundred times, this is the first time we've stepped out of that room. So, should I say that?"
"Welcome to this world, Ereshkigal."
Kotomine Shirou smiled and said to Ereshkigal.
To be honest, Shirou Kotomine almost forgot about Ereshkigal just now.
Although he arrived in this other world while receiving Ereshkigal, the sheer number of experiments he underwent caused him to become somewhat mentally confused.
After all, in this state, he would gain a lot of knowledge about time and space every time he traveled through time.
What's more, he did this more than a hundred times in a short period of time.
At this moment, there was too much knowledge in Kotomine Shirou's mind that he needed to digest.
But that's clearly not something that can be digested in a short period of time.
If Ereshkigal hadn't reminded him, Shirou Kotomine probably wouldn't have remembered Ereshkigal for quite some time.
This made Shirou Kotomine feel a little embarrassed.
However, Ereshkigal did not blame Kotomine Shirou.
Not only Shirou Kotomine, but even Ereshkigal himself gained a lot of the same knowledge from these time travels.
So much so that her head was spinning.
But that's not the most important thing.
"The other world is indeed wonderful, but I need some time to adapt to it."
"This world is very different from our world in terms of its laws, and the gods are the beings that are most in line with the laws of the current world, which makes me feel somewhat out of place."
"So I'll probably be busy for a while."
"Ereshkigal said helplessly."
She clearly intended to have a good experience in this other world.
But there's nothing we can do; she came into this world as a deity.
Even if she came to this world as a god-level servant, there would be no problem; only gods would encounter such a problem.
Because gods are beings that are most in accordance with the laws.
Therefore, if the laws of another world are very different from the world where the gods were born, this kind of rejection will occur.
"How could this happen? Are you in any danger?!"
Kotomine Shirou quickly asked.
If Ereshkigal were in danger, even with a time ratio as rare as 1000:1, Shirou Kotomine would give up.
He would return to his original world immediately without hesitation.
After all, none of these are as important as Ereshkigal.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Ereshkigal, who resides in Shirou Kotomine's mental world, can vaguely sense Shirou Kotomine's thoughts and feelings.
That's why her face was flushed at this moment, even though she was in the world of her mind.
"It's just a bit troublesome; it will take me some time to adjust my mindset."
"It's good that you're alright."
Kotomine Shirou let out a deep breath.
Ereshkigal's words had just terrified him.
"How long will it take you to adjust to your new state of mind?"
"I can't help but ask," Shirou Kotomine inquired with concern.
"Well, probably between six months and a year. This is the first time I've encountered something like this, so I can't give a definite timeframe."
After a moment's thought, Ereshkigal offered his guess.
After all, this was the first time she had encountered something like this.
"Does it really take this long?"
Kotomine Shirou was immediately taken aback upon hearing this.
He had just heard Ereshkigal say that it was just a bit troublesome, and thought it would only take ten days or half a month to get it fixed.
I didn't expect it to take so long.
"Yes, that's why I said it's troublesome. I still want to explore this world properly."
"Ereshkigal said dejectedly."
This was a major setback for her grand plans.
"It's okay, we'll be staying in this world for more than seven years anyway, so we'll have plenty of time to explore it properly later."
Noticing Ereshkigal's depression, Shirou Kotomine quickly offered words of comfort.
He didn't want Ereshkigal to stay depressed.
"Then it's settled."
"Don't worry, I wouldn't lie to you."
Ereshkigal's mood indeed improved after receiving comfort.
She fell silent after making a promise with Shirou Kotomine.
The power that had been bestowed upon Kotomine Shirou also dissipated.
Feeling the tranquility of the moment, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but reach out and touch his chest.
He then smiled.
"Keep going, Ereshkigal."
After saying that, Shirou Kotomine continued walking along the mountain path toward Magnolia.
I familiarly traversed the forest, familiarly walked through the city, and familiarly arrived at the guild.
This time, Shirou Kotomine could hear the lively sounds inside the Fairy Tail guild even before he stepped inside.
Kotomine Shirou's lips curled up slightly.
The last time he came back, he heard a completely different silence here.
But at this moment, it's bustling with activity.
This is the change he brought to Fairy Tail.
Pushing open the door, Shirou Kotomine leisurely walked into the Fairy Tail guild.
The lively atmosphere instantly enveloped him.
"President, you're back!"
As soon as Kotomine Shirou entered the guild, some people noticed him.
As soon as the question was asked, everyone in the guild turned to look at Kotomine Shirou.
Good morning, President!
"President, I heard you went to cultivate?"
"Cultivation? No wonder I haven't seen the president these past few days."
All sorts of greetings kept pouring in towards Shirou Kotomine.
However, Shirou did not back down. He walked forward while responding to the crowd.
Only when Shirou Kotomine reached the counter did the crowd stop bothering him.
"Good morning, President."
Upon seeing Shirou Kotomine approach, the receptionist, Ginana, who was standing behind the counter, quickly greeted him.
Good morning, Ginana. How's work lately?
Kotomine Shirou also asked with a smile.
Although Ginana is just a receptionist at the counter, doing the same job as Mirajane before her, her background is not simple.
Ginana was turned into a snake by an evil sorcerer when she was a child.
After that, he stayed by the side of Cobra, one of the Oración Seis (Shoguns) of the dark guild.
She was brought back after Oración Seis was defeated by Fairy Tail and other guilds.
Makarov rescued her after discovering the curse within her.
She also lost the memory of when she became a snake.
"It's a pity I didn't participate in the battle against the Oración Seis, otherwise I really wanted to be a part of it!"
Kotomine Shirou sighed helplessly to himself.
Due to the timeline, Shirou Kotomine missed many exciting battles.
Whether it was the two dark guilds, Oración Seis and Devil Heart, or Jellal of the Tower of Paradise, all these battles were missed by Shirou Kotomine.
This made Shirou Kotomine very frustrated.
"Work? I've been much happier at work lately than before, thanks to your amazing leadership, Chairman. Otherwise, I really don't know what Fairy Tail would have become."
Gina said seriously.
"As long as you're happy, it means I've done a good job."
Kotomine Shirou couldn't help but smile.
I have a very good impression of Ginana Kotomine Shirou.
Of course, this goodwill is not about liking or love, but because Ginana was one of the members who persisted until the return of the main force of Fairy Tail in the original storyline.
Although Shirou Kotomine believes that the departure of other guild members cannot be entirely blamed on their character, he does not pursue matters that did not occur in this world.
However, Shirou Kotomine has a great deal of affection for those companions who persisted until seven years later in the original storyline.
"By the way, isn't Macao here?"
After looking around and not seeing Macao and Wakaba, Kotomine Shirou asked Ginana about their whereabouts.
"Macao and Wakaba have both gone to visit other guilds."
Gina explained.
After Fairy Tail suffered a severe blow, guilds that had previously interacted with Fairy Tail and had a good relationship with it extended a helping hand to the group.
They also spent a lot of time and money to help find members.
Therefore, after the situation with the guilds improved, Macao and Wakaba decided to visit these guilds and express their gratitude in person.
This kind of thing should have been done by Shirou Kotomine.
However, Shirou Kotomine needed to return to the Uruk world quickly, so after handling the most crucial matters, he used the excuse of training to return to the Uruk world.
Macao and Wakaba felt that this was something that couldn't be delayed.
After all, Fairy Tail's situation has improved, and it is no longer in danger of being destroyed at any time.
As for Shirou Mine, no one knows when he will return.
Therefore, this task can only be done by the two of them.
As former acting guild master and guild advisor, Macao and Wakaba are still qualified to do this in place of Kotomine Shirou.
"Oh, I see!"
Kotomine Shirou suddenly realized.
This is indeed his responsibility.
But there's nothing we can do; his last visit was just a coincidence.
"It seems that Macao and Wakaba will have to wait a few more days before they come back."
After thinking for a moment, Shirou Kotomine said to Ginana, "Then I'll go to the second floor. Call me anytime if there's anything in the guild."
"Yes, Chairman!"
Gina responded earnestly.
With Shirou Yanfeng overseeing the guild, the other members would feel much more at ease.
The second floor of Fairy Tail.
Shirou Kotomine, sitting at the table, was deep in thought.
He was thinking about what he could bring to Fairy Tail next.
Firstly, in terms of strength, Shirou Kotomine needs to improve his strength as soon as possible and obtain the status of one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
Only in this way can Fairy Tail's golden reputation continue.
But what else?
Kotomine Shirou doesn't intend to worry about the daily maintenance of the guild; he'll leave those matters to Macao and Wakaba.
He couldn't possibly dedicate all his energy to the guild like Makarov did.
"All I need to do is occasionally clean up the S-rank missions on the second floor, attend regular meetings to build relationships with other guild leaders, and complete some missions issued by the council to defeat the dark guilds."
"These things don't take up much of my time."
Kotomine Shirou thought to himself.
Of these three, the latter two, besides the former, are essential tasks for the guild leader.
These days, Shirou Kotomine is more concerned about the regular meetings.
Although participation in the regular meetings is not mandatory for guilds.
For example, the former leader of the Phantom Lords has not participated for a long time.
But Shirou Kotomine felt it was better to participate in some.
Once he could gain the approval of those old men and women, Shirou Kotomine felt that it wouldn't be too difficult for him to take Makarov's place and become one of the Ten Wizard Saints.
After all, these people were once the best in the magical world.
He is also a prominent figure in the magical world today.
Therefore, Shirou Kotomine is required to attend the regular meetings.
So what else can Shirou Kotomine do besides these things?
After some thought, Shirou Kotomine came to a conclusion.
That is to cultivate talent!
