Three Hundred and Ninety-Two Three People Who Saved Erza
???
In "Fairy Tail ()", little is known about Noah before he joined the guild.
In the current "Fairy Tail ()", except for those old members who existed before Noah joined "Fairy Tail ()", the rest of the members think that Noah is Makarov's Pro-grandson, only those old members know that Noah was adopted by Makarov.
However, even those old members only knew that Noah was an orphan, met Makarov by chance, and was adopted by Makarov. They didn't know why Makarov adopted Noah at all. .
So, why did Makarov only adopt Noah's grandson?
The reason, as a childhood sweetheart who grew up with Noah, Erza naturally knows.
Because Noah has no past.
According to Makarov, Noah seemed to appear in this world out of thin air, that is, there was no trace of where he had lived, existed, or left behind, nor did he have any memories before he was ten years old.
In Noah's memory, the initial fragment is the fragment when he met Makarov in the unnamed woodland.
After meeting Noah. Because of Noah's "lost memory", Makarov frequently asked about Noah's background outside. Help Noah find possible relatives and hometown, but the final conclusion is that Noah seems to appear out of thin air. There is no trace of any existence.
Under such circumstances, Makarov, who couldn't just sit back and watch Noah's real parents, who appeared in this world as if they didn't exist, who didn't even know who his real parents were, and who appeared in this world as if they didn't exist, resolutely accepted Noah. Ya is his adopted grandson, hoping to bring him a little warmth of family affection.
To be honest, Erza couldn't imagine how Noah felt when he just joined "Fairy Tail ()".
That is, there is no memory of the past, and knowing that there is no place in this world that can exist or even existed, the emptiness, confusion and blankness, just think about it for a while. Erza felt a little shuddering.
Erza once had such an idea.
How nice it would be to forget the past.
only,
Now think about it carefully, is it really good to have no past?
Just like Noah said, even if the past is bad, painful or even hopeless, it is proof of one's own existence.
Compared with this, there is no past, no evidence of existence. That's the real horror.
Fortunately, Noah met Makarov, joined "Fairy Tail ()", and had a shelter that could prove his existence.
otherwise. Ersha felt that Noah, who had nothing in the true sense at that time, would definitely be worse than death, like being in hell.
"I know you might be very angry when you say that. But at that time, I really envied you." Noah smiled wryly.
"Then. When I realized it, I unconsciously had the idea of wanting to get close to you. The next thing will come naturally."
"...Sorry." Erza said in a low tone.
"Reminds you of the bad past."
"Shall we be with each other?" Noah sighed slightly.
"Me too, does it remind you of the bad past?".
"But I really appreciate you." Erza's tone became sincere again.
"If it weren't for your share of the cake, maybe there would never be the Erza Shukaleto of today. You are the third person who saved me in this life."
"The third one?" Noah looked at Erza in surprise.
"Have you been saved by so many people?".
"Yes, without you, I would have disappeared a long time ago." Erza laughed at herself.
"Because of Grandpa Rob's rescue, I survived from a group of demons, and because of your rescue, I have a new life, and..."
Maybe even Erza herself didn't realize it.
Ersha's hand was already tightly clenched, and even her face showed a hint of pain.
"And... Gerald..."
Erza said this sentence with an accent that was almost like a sleepwalking.
However, Noah heard it clearly, clearly.
Therefore, when the name "Geral" entered Noah's ears, Noah's heart tightened suddenly, and he subconsciously touched his pocket.
In that pocket lay a piece of paper with the address of Paradise Tower.
At this moment, Noah finally confirmed his previous guess.
Sure enough, Erza has an extraordinary connection with Gerald and the Tower of Paradise.
That is the corner of Erza's heart that has never been touched by others, and the secret that even Noah has no way to know.
Since childhood, Noah knew that there must be an unusual secret hidden in Ersha's heart.
Now, Noah has finally touched the tip of the iceberg of this secret.
"Don't think about bad memories anymore." At the same time when his heart became active, Noah looked at Erza with a slightly painful face, and changed his tone.
"Although that is also the proof of your existence, but if you don't look forward, you can't move forward. If you don't move forward, you will even go backwards. That's not the Erza I know."
"yes?". Erza lowered her head, then raised it again in the next second, regaining her previous heroic spirit.
"makes sense."
Having said that, Erza suddenly leaned her head on Noah's shoulder, and her armored hand hugged Noah's arm tightly.
"A little bit, lend me a hand..."
Noah, who was a little surprised at the sudden weak behavior of the always strong Erza, slowly relaxed his expression and body, raised his other hand, and gently stroked Erza's head, It's like putting a child to sleep.
"No matter when you want to borrow it, I will borrow it from you, so please don't rely on me politely..."
"After all, we are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, relatives that no one can replace..."
Hearing Noah's words, Erza's slightly cold heart gradually warmed up, and a reassuring and comfortable expression appeared on her delicate face. She closed her eyes, as if falling into a deep sleep, and said nothing for a long time.
Under the setting sun, a man and a woman leaned on each other on the bank of a clear river until the sun went down, and it was still the same as before.
Of course, Erza didn't know.
At this moment, Noah secretly made a decision.
...
"Ugh----?!"
In the home of the three Strauss brothers and sisters, in the hall, Lisanna suddenly stood up in exclamation and looked at Noah, her face was full of anxiety.
"Brother Noah! Are you leaving again?!"
"Noah..." Mirana's expression of being gentle and kind to Noah all the time also dimmed, and it seemed that she was also shocked just like Lisanna.
Seeing this, Noah knew that Mira and Lisanna had misunderstood.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to practice this time, it's just because I have something and a place I want to go." Noah said quickly.
"If there is no accident, I will be back in about ten days, and it will not be a month later. It is very likely that I will be back in two or three days, and I won't leave for so long."
Hearing these words, Mira and Lisanna's expressions turned cloudy, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you going to work?". Lisanna asked aloud.
"Can I go too?".
"No, I can do it alone." Noah scratched his cheek.
"It's not going to work, it's just something to do, don't worry about it."
Seeing that the two sisters in front of him still seemed a little worried, Noah comforted him.
"Don't forget, even if you don't trust me alone, I still have Beo by my side, nothing will happen."
"Do you need me to prepare something for you?" Mira said sweetly.
"You don't have any money with you, right? What about the travel expenses?"
"This..." Noah was speechless.
"Let me and Sister Mira help you prepare the necessities for the journey." Lisanna smiled maliciously.
"I will also help Brother Noah prepare the travel expenses, don't worry."
Noah could only laugh out loud, speechless.
This time, I really have the suspicion of sitting on soft food... (to be continued...)
