[Ding! Mission triggered!]
[Mission Name: "Saving Private Lisanna"]
[Mission Content: The overconfident siblings Mirajane and Elfman will pay for their "confidence," and the price will be losing their younger sister Lisanna. This is unfair to Lisanna—why should she be the one sacrificed? Operation Saving Private Lisanna begins!]
[Mission Progress: Help Lisanna return safely from the "Beast King Subjugation" mission. (Incomplete)]
[Mission Reward: Random Gold Saint skill.]
"?"
Looking at this mission, Marco was stunned.
So the lesson Mirajane would learn was losing Lisanna?
"That is indeed a terrifying price."
Just the thought of it was suffocating.
If Lisanna were to die in this mission, Marco couldn't even imagine what would become of Mirajane and Elfman.
After all, she was their beloved younger sister.
Even if the two siblings survived, their hearts would be as good as dead.
"So, I have to stop this from happening."
Without hesitation, Marco immediately left to catch up with Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna.
He would follow them in secret.
Though the siblings had only been at the guild for a little over four years, Marco had grown very close to them—like family.
Even if the mission hadn't been triggered, Marco would have followed them this time to protect them from the shadows.
Now that he knew Lisanna might be in danger, there was no reason for him not to go.
If something really happened to Lisanna, not only would Mirajane and Elfman be devastated, Marco and the rest of their guildmates would also be heartbroken.
Soon, Marco caught up with the three siblings.
With the crow keeping watch, they were easy to track.
Marco didn't reveal himself immediately.
Instead, he quietly followed, keeping his focus on Lisanna and staying ready to act at any moment
.The "tragedy" involving Lisanna might not necessarily be caused by the "Beast King."
At least, the mission details didn't mention her sacrifice being due to the Beast King.
Because of this, Marco remained highly vigilant, fearing that something might suddenly appear and take Lisanna's life.
Fortunately, Lisanna had been very well-behaved.
She didn't wander off or act alone, always staying close to her sister Mirajane.
Unlike the anxiety she felt at the start of the mission, Lisanna now felt much more at ease—especially after spotting the crow in the sky.
She knew Marco was watching over them.
Soon, Mirajane and her two siblings arrived at a small town, met the client, and obtained more detailed information about the Beast King.
"Sister, this sounds..."
After hearing the client's detailed description of the Beast King, Lisanna's expression changed.
She thought to herself that Marco had guessed right—this Beast King was truly extraordinary!
The strength of a Beast King could often be judged by its fur color, size, and other physical traits.
According to the client, this Beast King had deep red fur and a massive, hill-like stature.
Clearly, this wasn't an ordinary Beast King—it was a "King among Kings"!
"Yes, I understand." Mirajane nodded solemnly.
"Lisanna, Elfman, both of you stay in the town. There's no need to follow me. I'll handle this magic beast alone."
After confirming that the Beast King was stronger than expected, Mirajane became more cautious.
At the very least, she no longer planned to bring her younger siblings along.
She felt she might not be able to protect them while fighting the beast at full strength.
"How can that be?! If this magic beast is even stronger than we thought, doesn't that mean you need our help even more?!"
Elfman immediately protested his sister's decision.
He had come to help, and now that his sister needed it the most, how could he just stay in the town?
Wouldn't that make his trip pointless?
"Nee-san! I'm not weak at all! I can definitely be of help!"
Seeing that Mirajane remained silent, Elfman pressed on.
The boy had indeed grown much stronger and had long mastered Full-Body Take Over.
His Beast Soul magic was inherently suited for combat.
"Then Lisanna stays behind alone."
After listening to her brother's persistent protests, Mirajane finally relented.
Elfman's strength could indeed be useful.
Most importantly, Elfman was tough.
Even if things turned dangerous, he had a good chance of escaping rather than being outright defeated.
In this regard, Lisanna had no such advantage.
Her Animal Soul was far inferior to Elfman's in direct combat, excelling more in agility.
She wasn't as resilient either, making it far too risky for her to face the Beast King.
"..."
Lisanna opened her mouth but couldn't find a counterargument.
She knew full well that she would only be a burden if she went along.
"Mira-nee... maybe we should call for backup?"
Lisanna spoke softly.
Under these circumstances, requesting reinforcements from the Fairy Tail guild and summoning more Mages would be the safer option.
"No!"
Mirajane outright rejected the proposal.
Although the target's strength was indeed slightly higher than estimated, she hadn't even tried yet—how could she give up so easily?
"Let's give it a try first. If it really doesn't work out, we'll call for reinforcements."
Seeing the worried expression on Lisanna's face, Mirajane smiled and ruffled her sister's hair.
No matter what, she had to try first.
With Mirajane having made her stance so clear, Lisanna could no longer persuade her otherwise and had to let Mirajane and Elfman attempt it.
"Alright, then give it a try. Mira-nee, Elf-nii, please don't push yourselves too hard. If you can't win, run away immediately!"
Lisanna nodded while earnestly reminding her older sister and brother.
"Don't worry, we definitely won't overextend ourselves." Mirajane readily agreed.
Though she had become more cautious now, she hadn't actually lost confidence in herself.
She felt there was still a chance she could defeat that King of Kings, the Beast King.
Without actually fighting, who could say for certain who was stronger?
