Fighting through pirates with Fairy Tail

Chapter 49 Cana: My father is Gildarts Clive!

"Yes."

Kana nodded slightly to the young man in front of her.

"ah?!"

"Looks like the 'scum' in the guild has finally leveled up again while I was in seclusion training?"

"Is this time it a classic case of starting something and then abandoning it, leaving his wife and daughter unattended outside?"

"Let alone the Magic Council's ERA, even I'm starting to find it hard to watch."

After scrutinizing Cana from head to toe, the young man pushed open the Fairy Tail guild door that had previously deterred Cana, and stepped inside.

At the same time, after the young man had half his body inside the guild in front of him, he didn't forget to turn his head to look at Kana behind him and gently greet her, "You're here to see your father, right? Anyway, come in first."

"Gulp."

"Okay, okay."

Kana looked at the door that was open to her, like a young animal that had just left its mother's embrace and was forced to live alone, feeling confused and helpless about everything in the world.

"Kana, you can do it."

"You will definitely find your father."

After struggling with her thoughts several times, Cana finally mustered up her courage and followed in the footsteps of the young man, stepping into the Fairy Tail guild.

"My mother once said that my father was a very gentle and kind person! I think the guild where my father lived and worked must have been a place full of 'love'."

Driven by her desire to find her father and by the vision of Fairy Tail, the mage guild she had gleaned from her mother's fragmented words, Cana finally set foot in this "forbidden land."

"This is?!"

When Cana's gaze swept across the entire Fairy Tail guild hall, the scene of "friendship" unfolding within the guild seemed to open the door to a new world for young Cana.

Future Cana: "Run, young me! What lies ahead isn't heaven, but hell! You'll go completely astray and fall into depravity."

cough cough.

"Brothers, drink up!!"

What Kana saw were tables of burly, drunken men gathered together in the guild, drinking heavily.

"I refuse to believe you can beat me with thirteen cards?!"

He is a gambling addict who holds a lot of cash but loses it all in one go.

"Inhale, exhale~"

"Cigars are definitely stronger!"

It was four or five smokers sitting in a circle, puffing on their cigarettes and chatting about life.

"You want to fight, right?"

"ha?"

"You think I'm afraid of you, you bastard!"

"Go to hell!"

He was a violent maniac who started a fight because of a few simple misunderstandings and a few words of argument.

In short, there isn't a single good person or a human being in the entire Fairy Tail guild hall.

"Just as I imagined, this guild is full of love... just kidding!"

"Have I come to the wrong place?! Or have I remembered the name of Father's guild wrong?"

"Compared to the guild that Mother described as full of 'love,' this place is more like a gathering place for human traffickers."

Cana stared at the people in the Fairy Tail guild hall, people whom her mother Cornelia usually labeled as "bad," her eyes twitching incessantly.

If they were still in Violet Town, Cornelia would have made her avoid these people and absolutely prevented her from getting involved with any of these thugs or gangsters.

Therefore, the scene before her eyes had a huge impact on Kana's kind heart, causing great harm to her young mind.

Well, that's because Cornelia usually speaks quite positively of Gildarts in front of Cana.

Therefore, Cana could never have imagined that her father, Gildarts, was actually the most "bad boy" among this group of delinquents.

"Feed".

"You bunch of bastards."

"Everyone, be quiet!"

"I have something very important to ask you."

Just as Kana's legs went weak and she was even about to run away, the young man who had opened the "Gates of Hell" for her suddenly spoke.

"what?"

"What?"

"Who the hell are you?"

After the young man spoke, all the guild members who were drinking, playing cards, smoking, and fighting stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him, focusing their attention on the young man and Kana beside him.

"Well."

Feeling the immense pressure from everyone's gazes, Kana stumbled and fell to the floor, trembling unsteadily.

"Mom, I want to go home."

Young Kana already wanted to go home.

"Is it Idris?"

"Id, you're back?"

"So it was Idris who came back?"

"So, does that mean your training is over?"

When the members of the Fairy Tail guild saw the young man's face clearly, they became excited, their faces breaking into genuine smiles as they cheered loudly.

"alright."

"I'll talk about my welcome party later."

"There are more important things to do now."

Ide addressed the guild members in this way.

"Something more important?"

After Id finished speaking, everyone present looked puzzled.

"That's right."

Id paused slightly before asking, "You guys are really something! While I was away from the guild, you did quite a few things to damage its image, didn't you?"

"Hey, Id."

"You can't just slander us because you're stronger, can you?"

Ide's words seemed to provoke everyone present, and they all stood up from their seats and asked Ide a question in return.

"Still being stubborn?"

"The kids have come knocking on our door, okay?"

"Tell me, which of you is it that abandoned your wife and children outside, leaving them to fend for themselves?"

Id snorted coldly. While questioning the guild members, he gently helped Kana, who had fallen to the ground, to her feet and comforted her, "Don't sit on the floor, it's dirty and cold there. And don't be afraid, even though these guys look fierce, they're actually rare good people."

"Um."

"Kana, don't be afraid."

For some reason, Kana's heart calmed down after being comforted by Ide.

"Ide, stop making baseless accusations. We would never do something like that—start something and then abandon it."

"Could it be that you did something wrong outside and are now planning to play the victim and pin the blame on us?"

"That's right, that's right! Everyone in our guild is a good person, no one would do such a thing."

The members of Fairy Tail guild vehemently refuted this.

"hehe."

"I would never betray my wife."

Id sneered and spoke righteously.

"Completely unconvincing."

Upon hearing this, the guild members almost burst out laughing.

"I don't believe there are such scoundrels in my own guild! But that kid came all this way alone, he couldn't possibly have come to the wrong place."

At this point, Id turned to look at Kana beside him and asked, "Your name is Kana, right?"

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Kana nodded slightly.

"Okay, little Kana."

"Now tell us loudly, what is your father's name?"

Id encouraged little Kana to shout out that scumbag's name.

"His name is... Gildarts Clive."

Cana bit her lip, and with Ido's encouragement and the pressure of the Fairy Tail members' gazes, she finally uttered that resounding name.

"..."

As Cana finished speaking, the entire Fairy Tail guild fell silent.

Even Idris's pupils trembled.

Yes, Id naturally knew that Gildarts was a morally corrupt person, but he didn't know that Gildarts was such a "beast".

All I can say is that he truly lives up to his name, Gildarts.

"Did I really go to the wrong place?"

When Cana discovered that the Fairy Tail guild members had fallen silent because of Gildarts's name, she mistakenly assumed that none of them had heard of her father and thus concluded that she had come to the wrong place. Instead of being disappointed, she felt a sense of relief for some reason.

Kana thought to herself, "Thank goodness I went to the wrong place. It seems this isn't Father's guild."

"If it's Gildarts, he does seem capable of doing something like that."

Just as Cana was secretly relieved, the members of the Fairy Tail guild all said the same thing.

"Huh?"

"So I really came to the right place, didn't I?"

Upon hearing this, Kana froze in shock.
