Closer is the 11th chapter of Yūsuke Shirato's Ice Trail, a spin-off of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail. Arriving in Magnolia, Gray tries to search for the Fairy Tail Guild building, only to find it closed for the day. Disappointed, he leads Pause and Doronbo to a cafe where they meet a drunk. Pause stealthily tries to leave his companions, but is followed by Doronbo, who tries to stop him. Unsuccessful, he heads back to Gray and informs him of Pause's departure. They try to find him, but fail. As night falls, the drunk they met in the cafe offers to let them live with him for the night, but they are suddenly attacked by three Mages. They reveal the drunk to be a Fairy Tail Mage and capture him, incapacitating Gray and Doronbo too, but not before they realize that Pause is one of the assailants.
