Fairy Tail (2009–2019): Season 3, Episode 124 - The Empty Seven Years - full transcript

Everyone learns about what they missed in the last 7 years.

The year 791.

Magnolia.

When we returned from Tenrou Island,

we learned that seven years had
passed in this world--in Earth Land.

It reminds me of an old nursery tale I once read.

I never thought I'd experience
the same thing myself, though.

Cheers!

I don't think I'll ever forget the time we
shared that night in the Fairy Tail building.

We drank and sang and danced and partied

as if to make up for those seven years.

Leaping across building-tops,
looking down at the city

A colorful world with umbrellas
blooming like flowers

Even on gloomy, rainy days,
if you can find one seed of happiness

it can make things even
better than the day before

You always give me important, valuable words

Is there something I can give you too?

I wish, thank you, it's a little embarrassing

but I want to tell you how I feel now

For you, I always want to give a smile

with our hands held together

You use fire magic too, Romeo?!



The guild's even hotter now!

--I can make cold flames too!
--Oh! Blue flame!

And what is this?

A purple-colored flame, just like Dad's.

I also got a yellow flame that smells weird.

Pee-yew!

Very impressive!

Is it me, or do you outclass your old man?

Huh? That magic seems familiar...

Aye...

I'm taking Master Totomaru's magic
lessons without my dad's knowledge.

Oh, I didn't know he was teaching.

It's rare for him to look so happy...

Wow, that takes me back!

I haven't eaten all of his colored flames yet.

All right! Maybe I'll pay him a visit too!

Sorry! You're actually
a taboo word around him!

Should've guessed...

Still, to think that you ended up
as Fairy Tail's fourth master...

Don't be silly.

I was just filling in, more than anything.
You can have the job back right now.

No, this is interesting. You can keep it for now.

Are you serious?!

First Master: Mavis.

Second Master: Precht.

Third Master: Makarov.

Fourth Master...

Ma-ca-o!

If the previous master insists,
then I suppose I can!

This indescribable sense of
disappointment is actually kind of funny!

Right?

What?!

You two got m-m-married?!

Yeah, six years ago.

And get this, Erza!

I was the one who proposed to him!

--You should've seen the look--
--Don't bring that up...

C...

Congratulations!

I'm proud and honored
to be your daughter-in-law!

Someone stop her!

What is Erza talking about?

She's put herself in their shoes
and gotten all mixed up.

That's wonderful! Do you have children?

One daughter.

Her name's Asca.

Umm, Mr. Reedus, is this...?

Oui.

I tried to draw an approximation of
you after seven years of maturing.

My chest...

Hmm? Did you say something?

This... is creepy.

Why am I in a loincloth?

Come to think of it, I wonder if we worried the
other Exceeds over these past seven years...

No, Exceeds have a different
sense of time than humans.

It might not have been a big deal in their eyes.

Oh, okay!

That's good to know, then.

Do you really think I won't
"grow" when I grow up?

Oui? Is there something
wrong about that drawing?

Wow, I'm impressed you endured
seven whole years, Kinana.

Don't be silly. I didn't "endure" anything.

So, have you remembered anything at all?

No, nothing. I wonder why that is.

But I sometimes think I hear it, even to this day.

"Let me hear your voice," it says.

I wonder who it is.

It's a very gentle voice,
and feels almost familiar somehow...

Oh, welcome!

Oh! It seems everyone's here!

Who are they?

It couldn't be...

"Love"

With love, I offer my
congratulations on your return!

You are in good health, I see!

It's strange to say that to people who
haven't aged in seven years, though.

Back to the old, rowdy guild, huh?

--You guys!
--Lamia Scale?!

Pegasus and Lamia both helped
search for Tenrou Island.

Oh, I see...

Guess we owe you one!

Don't worry about it.

Pegasus may have beaten us to the punch,
but our skill is still superior.

That's what you meant?

After all, over these past seven years,
Lamia Scale has managed

to climb the ranks to
become Fiore's No. 2 guild!

So sorry, Miss Lucy.

Does that mean...

...Pegasus is No. 1?!

Get real!

--Are you crazy?!
--Calm down, you.

No, it's not Pegasus.

Well, never mind all that!

I'm simply glad that you're well!

Is...

Is this what's known as love at first sight?!

Huh?

Huh? Huh?

Whoa! He's ultra-straightforward!

This just makes things even worse!

H-Hold on... This puts Juvia in...

...utter chaos!

--That's some sense of imagination!
--Gimme a break...

So...

It turns out I'm Cana's dad!

Hey! Quit being touchy-feely!

--I can't help it! I'm just so happy!
--Fix that messed-up look of yours, will you?!

And let me down!

Couldn't they have come up
with a better story than that?

Indeed, they're not fooling anyone one bit.

Tadah!

This is Asca!

Oh!

She looks just like you two!

I see.

She reminds me of Wendy.
An adorable little girl.

Hey, now...

--Not you, too, Lily!
--Huh? Why are you--?!

The clamor never ends.

For us, it was only a week,

but for everyone else,

it was an all-too-long seven
years of suffering and loneliness.

It pains me whenever I think
about them waiting and waiting...

"The Seven Year Gap"

"The Seven Year Gap"
The Seven Year Gap.

It feels so great to finally go home!

--Oh? Is that...?
--Lucy?

L-Landlady...

I heard you were back.

I'm glad to see you're okay.

But your rent is another thing altogether!

7 years comes to 5,880,000 Jewel!

Pay up or get out!

5,880,000 Jewel...

I can't pay that...

And the guild has its own money problems...

My savings...

We marked off the rest you owed.

It sounds like the Fairy Hills group
had to pay for seven years as well.

So did everyone else, too.

Seven years...

That's an unimaginably long time.

Romeo's all grown up...

Jet and Droy are really different too...

Even Alzack and Bisca have a kid now.

That reminds me, everyone was shocked
by the Cana and Gildarts thing.

Dad...

This means he hasn't heard
from me in seven years, huh?

I bet he's worried...

Maybe I'll go visit Dad.

This might actually be the first time

that I've ever missed him!

I-I'm going to borrow money, just so you know!

Still, those seven years we lost

do weigh heavily on us too.

Erza!

About Jellal...

The truth is...

Wait, Bisca...

Sir Makarov.

The Saint Wizards will be meeting soon,

but there is a certain guild
you should hear about first.

You know Ultear and a girl named Meldy, yes?

What about 'em?

Gone! It's gone!

Natsu! Look harder!

Without it, we're...!

So you are alive... Zeref...

I'm never riding in a carriage again...

We're here now, Natsu.

Sheesh. Why do you guys have to come too?

'Cause we got no money at all!

Lucy-Dad knows lots of
get-fish-quick schemes, right?

That's "get-rich-quick schemes."

And I don't know. We'll have to see him first.

Wait, you guys don't even rent a house.

Our money safe disappeared!

Our food money...!

What are we gonna do?!

Oh, my...

The merchant guild, Love & Lucky.

Umm, excuse me.

Yes?

I'm looking for someone named Jude Heartfilia.

He's registered here, right?

Oh... Are you... Jude's daughter?

Yes!

What's the matter?

Did he quit?

Is he not here?

Uhh...

I'm... not sure how to say this, but...

Jude passed away a month ago.

I'm very sorry.

The seven-year gap... weighs heavily on us...

Lucy...

Happy.

Like, my old man is so stinky and annoying!

And my daddy's mega-irritating,
y'know, y'know?!

He's, like, so irritating!

Y'know? Y'know?

Like, I wish he'd just drop dead!

Y'know?! Y'know?!

Hey, you!

Can't you read the mood in the air?!

Who is this?

Like, who can read strangers' moods?

Shut up! Just get lost!

Get lost!

Like, we already were leaving.

What's this guy's problem?

He's creepy, y'know? Y'know?

Stop it.

Oh, err...

I'm sorry for putting you
through all this trouble.

Are you okay, Lucy?

Yeah.

I'm just shocked about my dad, is all...

Two months ago--

No, wait. There were also
those seven years, huh?

That time in Acalypha was
the last time I ever saw him.

Ever since I was a little kid,
I never really liked him.

Plus there was the whole Phantom incident.

But...

After what happened in Acalypha,

it felt like my relationship with
my dad was about to change.

Getting sick from working too hard...

That's just like him.

I wonder why it is...

I feel sad, and I miss him...

But... no tears are coming out.

I guess he really didn't mean that much to me...

You're wrong.

I dunno how to explain it,

but I don't think whether you got tears
or not has anything to do with that.

Mm. Thanks.

Really, I'm...

...surprisingly okay.

The wizard guild, Twilight Ogre.

Look here, old man.

There's nothin' more ta talk about.

Just pay back the money we lent ya
and we'll get off your case.

Twilight Ogre's master, Banaboster.

As much as I'd like to,

I'm sure you're aware of how
surprisingly broke we are.

Plus, looking over the books,

it's clear that something strange
is happening with all our money.

I can't say I approve.

Is that an accusation?!

Not at all!

We will repay the money we
borrowed, including proper interest.

Someday.

I demand that you pay right now, geezer!

Oh, what I'm trying to say

is that we should start by
re-figuring the interest rate, you see...

Your guild has injured five
of my youngsters, you know!

Having a debtor kick our
butts and not pay us back

doesn't do much for our guild's reputation!

Oh?

I only came here today to discuss money...

Do you wish to discuss that as well?

Don't give me none of that crap!

Return what's been given.

That's your guild's creed...

...I believe we can agree?

Your destruction of property and
acts of violence against our members

for seven years...

That's something we have
to repay to you now, in full.

The suffering my kids
endured for seven years...

It brings tears to my eyes...

All right, punk! If it's a war
you want, it's a war you got!

Good grief...

Oh, man. What happened to
solving this through discussion?

I don't even begin to compare to him.

But, you know...

Seein' this really drives home
that we're back to seven years ago.

Brings back memories.

Natsu! Happy!

What are you doing here?!

Didn't you guys go with Lucy to Acalypha?!

--You're gonna join in, are you?!
--Don't! You'll just make things worse!

--What the heck?
--Beats me...

--Daddy! You're back!
--I sure am!

The landlady?

Hey--! What's the big idea?!

Someone! Help!

My apartment...

Huh?

It's so clean, even though
I haven't used it in seven years...

I've been cleaning it every week.

Of course, some of your clothes didn't survive.

Although I did keep one outfit.

Look on the table.

They showed up on the same day every year.

"To my dear daughter. Happy birthday.

From Daddy."

He... remembered?

This other one arrived this morning.

To my dear daughter. Happy birthday.

Although, I wonder when
you'll actually read this letter.

A long time has passed since I heard
you and your friends disappeared.

I'm very worried, but I have faith.

You're a lot like Layla.

You're blessed with great luck.

I'm sure you're fine, and that I'll see you again.

As for me, I'm about to close a big
business deal with the western region.

It keeps me busy, but I'm living a fulfilling life.

I think about you and Layla every day.

You are our pride and joy.

I hope you'll live life to its fullest,
following the path you believe in.

I really miss you.

Dad...

Lucy.

I will always love you.

I... love you too...

O-Oh, crap...!

Lucy looks crazy now!

That's rude in several ways.

I'm her landlady.

Oh, right.

Umm, where's Lucy?

You should let her be for now.

--But...
--We got a job for her!

A letter came this morning,

and it had seven years' worth of rent with it.

Honestly, now.

This must be what they call a "doting parent."

What?!

So our food money is all that's missing now?!

We can't stand around here! Let's get to work!

Aye, Sir!

Lucy!

We're going on a job now!

We'll pick up some white
clover dumplings for you!

The seven years we lost may
have left a very big hole...

Wait! I'll go with you!

But, even so, we're going to
keep on living life in this world!

Let's look up into the sky, arms opened wide,

and etch out ever-brighter dreams

Find a passion that matches your talent

then grab hold and put it in your heart

As time passes and you encounter
setbacks and tearful farewells

always embrace your unique ambitions

and race toward your dreams

We're still in the middle of a dream--
there's no answer to be had

But it doesn't feel bad; in fact, it's pretty nice

See? We're alive again today

Now it's your turn

Let's look up into the sky, arms opened wide,

and etch a dream of, "It really is possible!"

Find a passion that matches your talent

then grab hold and put it in your heart

As time passes and you encounter
setbacks and tearful farewells

always embrace your unique ambitions

and race toward your dreams

Paint a marvelous future, boy

There's gonna be a ball? Sounds kinda neat!

It's where grownups can interact socially.
I don't think you're ready for it.

Why not?! There'll be lots
of tasty stuff to eat, right?!

--All right! Let's eat like crazy!
--You really are a little kid, Natsu.

I'm mature, though, so I'm going to
enjoy dancing elegantly with Charle!

No, you don't got the guts for that.

"Next Episode: The Magic Ball"
Next Episode: The Magic Ball.

How rude. I wouldn't
underestimate me if I were you.

Well, you've never been
that self-assured before.

Yes, I have! I think!
