Fairy Tail: Starting with Fairy Queen Erza

To be honest, she saw a reflection of herself in Ellie...

They are so similar, yet so different!

Ellie was far braver than she was.

So, after seeing how bravely Ereshkigal told Ian the truth, her mind started racing...

Ereshkigal's courage and Erza's words completely inspired her.

"Uncle, Kana has something to tell you."

At this point, Erza decided to give Cana one last helping hand. She strode forward, looked at Gildarts who was laughing wildly while holding Ian's shoulder, frowned slightly, and inadvertently threw a punch, hitting Gildarts hard in the stomach.

"It hurts so much, Erza..."

Gildarts's face stiffened. Erza's fist was probably the heaviest among all the S-class candidates in Fairy Tail guild right now...

It's because this girl always wears hard armor.

At the same time, Gildarts could tell that Erza's armor was very peculiar...

So strangely, even his 'crushing' magic couldn't destroy it.

Its material properties are very similar to the scarf around Natsu's neck.

"..."

However, Erza didn't say anything. Instead, she turned around and forcefully pushed Cana, who was still standing in the same spot, in front of Gildarts.

"so……"

In response, Ian pulled Ereshkigal to Erza's side and quietly asked her.

"Yes, Kana has already told me everything during the assessment process."

Erza nodded slightly, confirming Ian's guess.

"understood."

After confirming that his guess was correct, Ian suppressed his laughter and remained silent, just like the other Fairy Tail mages who were watching the drama unfold, silently witnessing the search for family that was taking place before him.

"So, Kana..."

"Is there something you need from me?"

Gildarts scratched his head, oblivious to the unusual atmosphere in the air, and looked at Cana, whose face was flushed and seemed to have something to say to him, and asked in confusion.

"Actually, my initial purpose in coming to Fairy Tail was to find my father."

Cana looked around, and with Erza's encouraging gaze, she finally spoke up.

"Oh?"

"This is the first time I've ever heard of this..."

"So, your father was also in the Fairy Tail guild, right?"

"Could it be that bastard Ian again?"

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

Gildarts thought of something amusing and burst into laughter.

Gildarts finally calmed down when he was shocked to find that everyone present, whether it was Ian, Makarov, Warrod, or Uru, was just silently watching him without showing the slightest smile.

"So, who is your father?"

Gildarts looked at Cana with a hint of doubt in his eyes...

At the same time, for some reason, he felt his heart beating very fast at that moment, as if some answer was about to come out of his mouth.

"He is... Gildarts."

Kana looked up and uttered the name of her scumbag father.

"Eh? Wait..."

"Am I your father?"

A look of disbelief flashed across Gildarts' eyes, then he sprawled on the ground, his expression frantic as he asked, "So whose child are you? Michelle? Jessica? Emily? Or Emma? Sophia? Mary Jane?"

"No, no..."

"The hair color is wrong..."

In just ten minutes, the names of dozens of his ex-girlfriends flashed through Gildarts' mind, not including those women he met by chance during missions and who sparked a romance in a very short time.

"Uncle, how many ex-girlfriends do you have?"

"He's a complete scumbag!"

"You might as well just die!"

"Laxus, you must never learn from him..."

"Huh?! What does this have to do with me?"

In an instant, the Fairy Tail members who were watching the drama unfold all looked at Gildarts with critical eyes and shouted angrily.

"In short, I just wanted to tell you this, that's all."

"I didn't mean anything by it, so you don't need to change how we get along because of my identity. Just be as casual as before..."

After Kana finished speaking, she looked relieved. She turned her head away, not wanting to look at Gildarts' expression. Anyway, she had said what she wanted to say, and nothing else mattered anymore.

"It's Cornelia, I can't be wrong. She's the woman I love most in my life, the only one I've ever married, and the woman I dream about the most."

Gildarts embraced Cana the moment she turned away, his eyes filled with sorrow, and murmured something.

"Let me go! Uncle..."

As Kana spoke, tears streamed down her face like rain.

This stubborn and strong-willed father and daughter embraced each other and whispered secrets...

"Uh-huh……"

Not far away, Erza watched the father and daughter reunite and nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, Erza couldn't help but think to herself, "This huge Fairy Tail guild would fall apart without me."

"Whether it's Ian or Gildarts..."

"So, are all the adults in our guild scum?!"

"Guild leader, it must have been quite an achievement for you to pick out these scumbags from the crowd with such precision and bring them into the guild..."

Gray watched helplessly as Cana reunited with Gildarts and his daughter.

First there was Ian and Ereshkigal, then Gildarts and Cana. If you were to say that Chairman Makarov had some illegitimate child outside, he would believe it.

And then there's his mentor, Uru, who almost lost his daughter.

So, when will the adults in their guild ever be reliable?!

Is it really possible to save the world by relying on minors?

"Grey, put your own clothes on before you talk about others."

Ian glanced at Gray and said coldly.

"what?"

"Oh no, when did I take it off?"

Gray panicked and began searching around for the clothes he had taken off earlier.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

"Who knows when you took your clothes off?"

"Anyway, you haven't had any clothes on since you came out of the passage."

In response, Ian continued to look at Gray and offered a reminder.

"Oh no……"

"Looks like I left my clothes in the passageway."

As he spoke, Gray ran straight back to the passage he had come from.

"What a disgrace! Gray..."

"As expected, I should have been promoted."

Leon, with the basketball on his head, looked at Gray returning to the tunnel, his eyes full of smugness.

"You go back and get dressed before you come out!"

In response, Ian waved his hand and sent Leon back to find his clothes with a gravitational wave.

"By the way..."

"If I burn Gray's clothes, will he be unable to participate in the second round of this year's S-class mage assessment?!"

Natsu tilted his head, gazing thoughtfully at Gray as he walked away.

Rather than being sad here because he can't continue the assessment, let others be sad with him! That's the way Fairy Tail guild operates.

Makarov crossed his arms in front of him, making a huge X shape, and shouted angrily, "No way! This is not the Fairy Tail style I taught!"

"Harpy, let's go!"

"We have work to do..."

Natsu looked excited. He called his partner Happy and they prepared to hunt Gray.

"Love~"

Upon hearing the sound, Happy came up behind Natsu...

Finally, Happy and Natsu ran together toward the passage where Gray was.

Natsu has made up his mind; he's going to kill Gray.

"Hey! Show some respect for the rules of the S-rank Archmage assessment!"

Makarov watched Natsu and the others walk away, and said wearily.
