Juvia's condition was indeed gradually improving, but Moen was still very anxious. He couldn't let this last mission condition remain unresolved; he had to find a solution quickly.
"Juvia, how are your studies going lately?"
After enduring it for a few days, Moen still went to Juvia. Coincidentally, the two met on their way to the guild.
Juvia has now begun learning to use magic from Makarov. Her talent is still untapped, and Makarov will teach her magic from scratch.
The old man had nothing to do all day in the guild, so he decided to teach the kids. He was proficient in all kinds of magic and had a wealth of combat experience, making him a veritable treasure trove.
This is a true reflection of the saying "Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure."
"Moenge, Juvia has learned some of the usage methods. Juvia will continue to work hard! We'll try to get out and do missions as soon as possible."
Looking at Moen, Juvia said with a serious expression.
The guild's various preferential treatments made her uneasy. She was constantly eating, drinking, and using the guild's resources, and the guild leader even personally taught her magic, yet she couldn't create any value for the guild. She felt deeply indebted and worried that she would be kicked out.
"Just focus on your studies and don't worry about so much. Everyone in the guild has been through this. Besides, you're still young, and the rest of the guild wouldn't feel comfortable letting you go out and do quests."
Moen smiled and comforted her. It was normal for Juvia to feel this kind of anxiety and fear of losing it, as it was the first time she had experienced so much pure kindness. She cherished this kindness and was afraid of losing it, so she studied extra hard.
Naturally gifted and having worked exceptionally hard, Juvia has finally shown signs of awakening magic after these few days of study. She has mastered water magic very quickly and uses water very smoothly.
Is everyone like this?
Juvia tilted her head cutely.
Since being brought out by Moen, Juvia's obedient, puppet-like demeanor has been gradually fading.
Although she is far from being lively and outgoing, some of her occasional little actions already show a bit of intelligence. In Moen's words, Juvia is slowly becoming like a normal person, like a normal little girl her age.
"Yes, this is a guild tradition, so you don't need to feel any burden. Every kid who grows up in the guild is like this. Just work hard to contribute to the guild when you grow up."
Moen reached out and ruffled Juvia's hair. Fairy Tail was absolutely impeccable in this respect.
Of course, once the children have the ability to earn money on their own, the money that should be collected will be collected, and the guild cannot support them indefinitely.
"Yes, Juvia will try her best."
Juvia nodded seriously. She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling less burdened and less anxious. But she wouldn't lower her standards; she would continue to work hard.
"Moen, Juvia has a gift for you."
After being comforted by Moen, Juvia spoke somewhat awkwardly, her face flushed and one hand in her bag.
"Huh? What gift?"
Moen was taken aback. Why would he suddenly want to give a gift when it's neither a holiday nor a festival?
Juvia took a white fabric item out of her bag and handed it to Moen.
"This is a Teru Teru Bozu doll that Juvia sewed herself."
Juvia began by explaining that the fabric item in her hand, which looked like a white ghost, was a teru teru bozu (a type of Japanese doll) used to pray for rain to stop.
Actually, it's very simple to make. A piece of cloth wrapped around a ball of cotton is the head of the teru teru bob, and the cloth hanging down is the body. Draw the facial features on the head, and a teru teru bob is complete.
From Moen's perspective, this thing is actually a little creepy, especially in the internet age, where it has also been given another meaning, like "cosplaying a teru teru bozu" (a Japanese doll).
However, the one Juvia made was exceptionally exquisite, clearly demonstrating excellent craftsmanship. This is because Juvia has been making teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu dolls) at home, hoping they can help stop the rain.
"Juvia probably won't need it anymore."
Looking at Moen in front of him, Juvia pursed her lips and slowly spoke.
"Because there is someone more worthy of Juvia's trust than a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll that brings sunshine to the sky)."
Juvia lowered her head and said softly, which startled Moen.
'This child.'
Moen was quite pleased to receive the teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll that evokes a warm, sunny feeling). He had seen many of these hanging in Juvia's house during his last visit.
With no one to rely on, Juvia could only place her hopes on these illusory things, but these things clearly could not bring her salvation.
"It's good that we don't need it; we should have stopped needing it a long time ago."
Moen smiled. As for who Juvia was referring to as "the more trustworthy person," Moen guessed that he must be one of them.
"Um!"
Seeing Moen accept the teru teru bozu doll, Juvia smiled, a little awkwardly, but it was clear she was genuinely happy.
Above the sky, the gloomy, heavy clouds gradually dispersed, and rays of sunlight stubbornly pierced through the clouds to shine on the earth. Magnolia, which had been experiencing continuous rain recently, seemed to be about to see the sun shine again.
Juvia's smile made even the sun smile.
"Look! The sky looks like it's going to clear up!"
A resident on the second floor of a nearby house opened their window and peered out at the sky with delight. Then, other residents followed suit, all looking expectantly at the sky and at the gradually dissipating dark clouds.
Moen stood beside Juvia, looking up with her. Juvia's face was filled with excitement, anticipation, and a hint of inexplicable fear. She was afraid it would all be for nothing again; she was afraid that the people who were expecting her would start cursing and swearing.
Jubia's worries were palpable; the dark clouds seemed poised to gather again, and some in the crowd began to sigh.
"Don't be afraid, Juvia, I'm here."
Moen's voice rang out and reached Juvia's ears. These words, which she had heard not long ago, seemed to have some kind of magic, and immediately calmed her down.
Juvia looked up at Moen. Sunlight pierced through the clouds and enveloped Moen, making him seem to glow. The next second, the light shone on Juvia as well.
"Look, blue sky, sun."
Moen looked at Juvia and gestured for the boy to look up. Juvia turned to look at the sky, and amidst the cheers of the crowd, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun finally appeared.
At this moment, Juvia didn't find the long-unseen sun particularly dazzling, because there was something far more dazzling beside her.
Juvia looked at Moen, only to find Moen staring blankly at the sky.
[Ding! The mission "Defeat the Four Elements" has been completed!]

Do you want to claim the task reward?
Moen was lost in thought for a reason: his task had suddenly been completed.
'No, how did they defeat Juvia?'
'Defeating your inner demons counts, right?'
Moen looked at Juvia in surprise and found that the girl was also looking at him.
Perhaps because she hadn't seen the sun in a long time, Juvia's fair skin was rosy from the sunlight, making her look quite adorable.
"Moenge, I can finally see the sun."
Juvia spoke with a smile, her expression somewhat excited, but the sun she mentioned didn't seem to be referring to the sun hanging in the sky.
"The sun will always be there from now on."
Moen smiled and ruffled Juvia's hair.
At this moment, Moen's thoughts had already drifted to the system, and he was beginning to look forward to the [Silver Saint Cloth].
After delivering Juvia to the guild and handing her over to Grandpa Makarov, Moen immediately found a quiet room to collect his quest reward.
[Congratulations! The Lyra Silver Cloth has been unlocked!]
