Lol. Love it. In my opinion he is either there, or Tenrou Island with the Crystal Mavis. With the town needing to be fixed it would be dangerous if while fixing the town they find Mavis underground, so I see Makarov hiding her there and him staying to safeguard her. As for how they got her there, I'm going to use the Doronbolt card. He can teleport, he is a FT member and possibly a council member/Chairman if they gave him a promotion during the one year skip, and he loves lolis.
