[[Erza Scarlet|Erza]] displays her amazement at hearing that [[Bisca Connell|Bisca]] and [[Alzack Connell|Alzack]] have gotten married, and more-so that they have a daughter named [[Asuka Connell|Asuka]].

Suddenly, five Mages appear at the entrance to the guild. The returned Fairy Tail members are shocked to see [[Lyon Vastia|Lyon]], [[Sherry Blendy|Sherry]], [[Toby Horhorta|Toby]], [[Yuka Suzuki|Yuka]] and [[Jura Neekis|Jura]] of [[Lamia Scale]], but the older Fairy Tail members welcome them warmly, commenting on how both Lamia Scale and [[Blue Pegasus]] helped with the original searches for [[Tenrou Island]]. The Lamia Scale Mages join in with the party, informing the others that over the seven years Lamia Scale has risen to be the second strongest guild in [[Fiore]]. Suddenly, Lyon spots [[Juvia Lockser|Juvia]] standing with the other Fairy Tail members, and rushes to her side, claiming he is experiencing "love at first sight". The overwhelmed Juvia explodes into a fantasy of possible partners within the guild, with [[Lucy Heartfilia|Lucy]] and [[Gray Fullbuster|Gray]] commenting that things are getting far too complicated.

Lucy decides to return to her apartment, completely forgetting that she hasn't been there in seven years. At her front door she is encountered by her [[Landlady]], who demands that Lucy pay her seven years worth of rent, coming in at a total of 5,880,000 {{J}}.

While the three head home, Natsu and Happy are pained to see Lucy sadness at the loss of her father. They then pass two women on the road, who loudly comment on how much their fathers annoy them. When Natsu yells at the girls for not being sensitive enough, Lucy stops him, apologizing for making the two worry. She expresses her concerns at her feelings, stating that even though she feels sad and lonely, she is unable to cry over her loss, concluding that she must never have loved her father, even after what happened in [[Acalypha Town]] many years before. Natsu disagrees with her though, saying that her tears and her fathers death are not related, and mean nothing.

Banaboster heatedly demands that Fairy Tail pay them back all of the money they owe him for the seven years he supported the guild. When Banaboster brings honor into the equation as well, the three Mages agree to pay Twilight Ogre back. But not just the money they owe, but seven years worth of pain and suffering the Fairy Tail members experienced too. Outside Twilight Ogre, Macao and Wakaba comment on how the original plan was to talk it out, laughing at how quickly things turned violent. They suddenly spot Natsu approaching, and warn him off, thinking he wants to join the fighting too. However, Natsu and Happy walk past with empty faces, confusing the two.

The Empty Seven Years is the 124th episode of the Fairy Tail anime.

The Fairy Tail Guild celebrates the return of its members, with even Lamia Scale appearing to welcome them back. However, the impact of missing seven years begins to dawn on many of the Mages, both emotionally and financially. Lucy decides to pay her father a visit but is shocked to find out he has passed away.

Summary

Party at Fairy Tail

Fairy Tail's homecoming party

The members of Fairy Tail throw a massive party to celebrate the Tenrou Team return after seven years. During the celebrations, Natsu learns that Romeo has developed quite a good skill in Fire Magic, hearing that -behind his father's back- Romeo has been studying under ex-Element 4 member Totomaru, who has opened a school and informs Natsu that Totomaru still hates him. Macao tries to convince Makarov to take back his position as guild master, but Makarov decides to let Macao keep the position for the time being.

Macao the Yondaime

Macao, Fairy Tail's 4th Guild Master

Erza displays her amazement at hearing that Bisca and Alzack have gotten married, and more-so that they have a daughter named Asuka. Makarov inquires into Kinana's well being, with Kinana replying that she still can't remember much of her past, but that she keeps hearing a kind voice asking to hear her thoughts.

Suddenly, five Mages appear at the entrance to the guild. The returned Fairy Tail members are shocked to see Lyon, Sherry, Toby, Yuka and Jura of Lamia Scale, but the older Fairy Tail members welcome them warmly, commenting on how both Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus helped with the search for Tenrou Island. The Lamia Scale Mages join in with the party, informing others that over the past seven years Lamia Scale has risen to be the second strongest guild in Fiore. Suddenly, Lyon spots Juvia standing with the other Fairy Tail members, and rushes to her side, claiming he is experiencing "love at first sight." The overwhelmed Juvia explodes into a fantasy of possible partners within the guild, with Lucy and Gray commenting that things are getting far too complicated.

Lucy decides to see Jude

Lucy decides to go see her father

Lucy decides to return to her apartment, completely forgetting that she hasn't been there in seven years. At her front door she is encountered by her Landlady, who demands that Lucy pay her seven years worth of rent, coming in at a total of 5,880,000 Jewel. Cast out into the streets until she can pay, Lucy thinks about all the changes that have occurred over the seven years, and decides that she should go and visit her father. Meanwhile, Makarov is informed by Jura about a certain guild, Lyon asks Gray if he knows two Mages by the name of Ultear and Meredy, Natsu frantically searches his now run-down house for an important item, and Bisca and Alzack inform Erza about the news on Jellal.

As Lucy travels to see her father, she expresses her annoyance that Natsu and Happy have decided to tag along with her. When asked why he is there, Natsu claims that the safe containing his and Happy's savings has been stolen, and they have no money. When she arrives at the Love & Lucky Guild, Lucy inquires about her father, only to be informed by an uncomfortable receptionist that her father passed away one month earlier.
