Fairy Tail 354 shows the reunion between Flare and her Hometown as well as the very welcoming Giants calling her their own daughter. Flare shows that she’s indeed happy that she’s back and sad that she left them in the first place. Minerva returns to her guild’s HQ to notice that everyone has turned into little paper like patterns of humans, Kyouka Reiseiten shows up from Tartarus mentioning that they need soldiers to fight for their great plan.

Fairy Tail 354 begins with Natsu as well as the giants laughing as though they’re already best buddies. A Giant mentions that these little people saved them, while Gray mentions if should freeze them again. Erza asks what had happened in the village, it was completely frozen by some Ice Demon Slayer, they tried fighting back but were unable too as they don’t seem to remember much.

Erza figures out that all of this happened because the Ice Demon Slayer had made an error in his assumption. Gray mentions that they still don’t know what their motive was, he mentions that the Succubus guy said something referring to the Gates of Hell. Tartaros is quickly mentioned, Gray figures out that the attacker was probably from there. Carla mentions that none of this adds up. Natsu mentions that their job is done, while Lucy asks Flare has gone.

She hides behind a tree, the Giants hear her name and seem to have gotten angry, Lucy brings her out while the expressions on their faces don’t change. They look at Flare as she’s gotten bigger, however they’re still a lot bigger. They look at her face doubting her asking her how the outside world was. She mentions that it was a lot of fun as well as scary, they smile, the giants mention that is how it is no matter where you are, as long as you’re alive.

Whether she’s coming or going the Giant’s village will always be her home, independence is a good thing. The Giants collectively welcome her home then referring her as their daughter! She bursts into tears and smiles widely, Lucy notices that she’s never smiles this before and also begins to tear up. They spent the night partying until the sun rose.

At Succubus Eye HQ, Minerva returns to notice that everything has been trashed, there are small figures of humans lying around the floor, Minerva raises one when a person appears behind her, she mentions that her magic strengthens people, however the ones she sees on the floor are too weak and not worthy and thus return to that form. All of them returned to this form.

This person introduces herself as Kyouka Reiseiten, one of the 9 Demon Gate Members of Tartaros. Minerva quickly realises that she’s in trouble, she then mentions that she went to such trouble after what happened at the village, Kyouka mentions that she has no clue, while Minerva asks if Silver was the one to take the village down. Kyouka mentions that her power is to strengthen people. She mentions that in the future a battle will begins to which she’s received commands to gather troops.

Minerva mentions that her idea of gathering troops is by killing them, while Kyouka mentions that if they cannot withstand my reinforcement they’re not allowed to fight with her. Kyouka quickly refers to Minerva handling her, Minerva quickly tries to back off when she may be trapped in the magic which Kyouka seems to be using. Fairy Tail 354 ends here.

What an awesome chapter, it seems to be getting better and better as well as more and more interesting. Can’t wait for next week’s Fairy Tail 355, titled “Song of the Fairies” when we see even more awesome Fairy Tail goodness.
