Gildas, who finally came to his senses, opened his mouth wide and let out an exclamation of extremely high decibels.

"For some reason... so I have not been able to say it..."

Kanna lowered her head even more.

"Wait...wait a minute...you are..." Kildas suddenly roared.

Kanna's words were interrupted.

"Who were you born?!"

A frightened face invaded the cheeks that had been lazy at that moment.

Gildas stretched out his palm, and figures kept flashing in his mind.

"Sarah, Naomi, Claire, Fina, Mary, Elisa?"

"No no no... the hair color is different."

Depressed, Gildas fell to his knees on the ground, staring at his hands with widened eyes.

Fingers stood up one by one.

"Emma, ​​Lila, Jen, Shirley, Kate, Yoko, Françoise..."

He kept saying one name after another.

Let Kana's original nervous mood dissipate in an instant.

Instead, a feeling of speechlessness welled up in my heart.

Unable to bear it, Kana yelled at Kildath: "I said uncle, how many girlfriends have you had?!"

"I... I see, it's Sherupia, right? You are exactly the same, such as gender...`々..."

Kildas responded with a guilty conscience.

"Ah—I'm so mad!"

Kanna stomped her feet angrily.

"I didn't expect my father to be such a philandering man!"

She turned her head abruptly, took steps towards the rear, and was about to leave.

"Anyway, that's it. That's all I want to say. I don't have to be a family member with you. Don't get me wrong."

"We just..."

Kanna hadn't finished speaking yet.

He was embraced by a firm embrace.

The sudden, never-before-experienced warmth made Kana startled.

"You are Cornelia's child, you can't be wrong..."

Kildath said softly.

In Kana's memory, this was almost the first time that Kildas had uttered such tenderness.

But there was a voice full of seriousness, which made her a little weak to struggle any more.

"Why haven't you told me all this time?" Kildath asked.

"Because I couldn't say it... and then it dragged on until today..." Kana responded in a low voice.

Kildas hugged Karna's arm even tighter.

"Cornelia was the only girl I ever loved, and the only girl I ever married."

"However, after that, Cornelia got fed up with me who only knew about work, and left eighteen years ago. Later, I heard rumors that she passed away, but I didn't expect that she would leave behind a child..."

The body that was hugging Kana tightly even began to tremble a little.

"Sorry, I didn't realize you were my daughter..." he said softly.

But Kanna shook her head slightly.

Then he let go of Kildas's arm that was holding him.

A smile rose on his face: "It's okay, I didn't let you find out on purpose."

"The reason why I said it was just to untie the knot in my heart."

"It's not that you need to take responsibility, let's get along as we did before."

Having said this, a blush flashed across Kana's cheeks.

"But... just let me say it once."

He stared at Kildas who seemed to be troubled by self-blame.

Kanna said slowly: "It's great to see you...Dad..."

"..." Kildath bit his lip tightly.

In my mind, images called memories kept flashing.

When I saw her for the first time, the little girl holding the puppy's eyes flashed joy, but I didn't care...

After that, when we met again, it was Kana who had grown up a bit.

At that time, she looked at the hesitation and admiration in her eyes, but she didn't pay attention...

In this way, missed again and again.

It has continued until now.

Really... I really am an asshole.

For a long time, the eyes of the person connected with his blood,

never found it myself...

Tears blurred Gildas' eyes.

"Kana!" He rushed forward and hugged Karna.

The palm stroked the long brown hair.

Kildath's tears rolled down his cheeks.

"I won't leave you alone anymore, never again..."

"In the future... whether it's drinking or going to work... I will be by your side, so..."

"Please give me this chance..."

The tears and slightly trembling body made Kildas's words choked up.

"Please give me... the right to love you..."

Hoo hoo...

The surroundings seem to be quiet, only the wind is left.

And the chirping of Xia Chan.

Mixed in the breeze that blows by,

It seems to be sending the best wishes to the father and daughter.

—————

"Really... don't you have anything to say?"

On a hill.

Ersha looked at Luo Xingchen who was lying beside her on the ground.

He looked at Laxus and Makarov who stood on both sides and turned their heads to each other.

His face was speechless.

"Who knows, to be honest, I don't know what your grandpa and grandson are talking about, why do you want me to come?"

Luo Xingchen sat up and spoke helplessly.

Seemingly thinking of something, she looked at Erza:

"By the way, is the departing ship ready?"

"It's almost ready, and we can board the ship and leave soon." Erza replied.

Seeing this, Luo Xingchen nodded slightly.

"But..." Erza frowned slightly.

Lightly poked Luo Xingchen's waist, and whispered in his ear:

"Didn't I tell you to ease the atmosphere?"

"After all, both of them are equally stubborn."

Hearing these words, Luo Xingchen felt like his head was getting bigger.

He looked at Makarov: "¨. President?"

"I don't have anything to say, the big thing is to pay back the money quickly." Makarov looked away.

He opened his mouth without looking back.

"Yes, yes, I have heard you say this many times." Laxus clasped his hands, leaned against the tree trunk, and responded.

"I will pay it off." Laxus lowered his head while speaking.

There seemed to be silence.

Just when the two people in the middle started to get anxious again.

Laxus took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Old man."

"Huh?" Makarov turned around pretending not to care.

"Recently... how are you?" Laxus spoke softly as if he had no strength left.

Even so light that ordinary people can't hear it.

However, fortunately, everyone present is a powerful mage.

Therefore, there is no trouble in this regard.

Hearing Makarov's question, his body trembled slightly.

After a while, he nodded lightly: "Ah... still tough."

As if he had opened up the topic, Makarov was not silent anymore.

Instead, he asked, "What about you? What have you gained from traveling during this period of time?"

"Harvest..."

Laxus raised his head, staring at the fallen leaves in mid-air.

"Seems like a lot...but seems like very little..."

He smiled softly: "Even I don't know, but... the biggest gain is probably learning something called weak."

"I also understand what I am living for."

Having said that, Laxus paused, and raised his gaze to Makarov.

"Old man, it's you, (good Qian Zhao) put away that listless look."

Makarov, who was still suppressing his joy, was taken aback for a moment.

Then he looked at Laxus fiercely: "You can rest assured about this! The old man is usually very happy!!"

Although, those words contained anger.

But with Makarov's expression that didn't match at all, it looked so funny.

Even Luo Xingchen and Ersha couldn't help but smile.

After looking at each other, they shook their heads slightly.

"He's really a stubborn old man..." Luo Xingchen said.
