The thoughts of the other Spriggan 12 were not much different from Neinhart's.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became heavy.
"I mean, now that you've finally returned, it's my turn to take a vacation."
August looked at Eileen and said seriously.
"You want a vacation?!"
Eileen was stunned, her eyes filled with confusion.
"It's shameful to say, but after more than sixty years, I only recently found traces of my Father, who has been traveling for a long time. I plan to go back and see him."
August sighed, trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Ah?! August's Father is still alive?"
Everyone present was dumbfounded upon hearing this. They never expected that the reason August spoke at the Spriggan 12 meeting was to ask Eileen for leave to visit his family.
"Granted."
Eileen's eye twitched slightly. She also didn't expect August to pull such an abstract request for leave at the Empire's highest-level meeting.
Speaking of which, Eileen had known August for almost fifty years, and she had never heard that his Father was still alive?!
However, August was being so abstract that if she didn't approve his vacation, it would seem a bit inappropriate.
Hmm, Eileen simply assumed that August had his own things to do, and to save face for everyone and abide by the Empire's rules, he found the words 'family visit leave' in the Empire's leave regulations.
It was also difficult for August; he could have left the Empire directly without asking for leave. It just goes to show that August is truly too compliant with the rules!
"Thank you."
August sincerely thanked Eileen, and with a flash, he disappeared from the conference room.
"Dude, what?"
"You're just leaving like that?!"
"The meeting isn't over yet?"
Eileen was dumbfounded, and everyone else present was also dumbfounded.
Who leaves immediately after asking for leave?!
A normal person would at least pretend to stay a little longer after asking for leave, right?
"Buzz!"
Just as Eileen was at a loss for words due to August's departure, August instantly moved again, reappearing in the Spriggan 12's conference room.
Just when everyone mistakenly thought that August had returned to continue the meeting, August suddenly threw a lacrima to Eileen and instructed, "If you encounter danger, remember to notify me! You don't seem suitable for battle right now."
After August finished speaking, he frowned and glanced at Eileen's lower abdomen, his words seemingly hinting at something.
After doing all this, August once again disappeared from the conference room.
"Meeting adjourned!"
At this, Eileen, who was no longer in the mood to continue the meeting, clutched August's lacrima and, with a spatial shift of her own, left the conference room.
"This…"
For a moment, in this vast conference room, only the remaining Spriggan 12 members were left, looking at each other, as if they hadn't heard anything and dared not say anything.
Well, they couldn't get involved in the affairs of the big shots.
At the same time.
Magnolia Town.
Inside the Fairy Tail Guild.
Behind Medivh, who was drinking at the bar, a faint voice came: "Father, how have you been all these years?!"
