Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious?

[Current character portrayal level: 100%, settlement can be made in advance...]

[Perfect role-playing; all abilities of the current character card are available for selection]

He hesitated for a while, but ultimately chose the four-card combo of Black Flash, since having more good trump cards is not a bad thing.

[The Black Flash Quad (A) has been selected and is being integrated into the panel...]

[The Black Flash Quadruple Combo has been detected as a one-time use skill and is being converted into a skill card.]

Ultimately, this ability was transformed into an A-rank skill card and arrived at Ron's Multiverse Item Vault.

Ron smiled with satisfaction, then picked up the bag containing theatrical props after tidying up and went out to meet up with Uruk and the others.

By this time, the sky outside was gradually darkening, and the streetlights outside the hotel were turning on one after another.

They made their way to Monet's square, found a suitable spot, and began to set up their tents.

Uru put up an advertisement on the street, which attracted a good number of people. After finishing his work, he went back to his hotel to rest.

Then Ron began his formal storytelling performance, and Gray and Leo started showing off their terrible acting skills again.

The performance quickly attracted a large number of residents and businessmen from the town.

Ron felt very pleased as he watched the crowds grow.

Just as the storytelling performance was coming to an end, Ron inadvertently heard some noise coming from afar, and he looked over curiously.

Then, without realizing it, his eyes widened, a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he had a bad feeling.

On the wide square street, a middle-aged man wearing a dark cloak was seen carrying two girls and running away, with others chasing after him.

Ron quickly recognized Gildarts, and his escape route was heading in the direction of the performance.

Gildarts even waved to Ron with a smile.

Ron glared at Gildarts, inwardly wanting to shout out a complaint.

Don't come any closer!

Forced into a corner, Ron began to speed up his storytelling pace, causing Gray and Leo to unconsciously quicken their movements as well.

Ron quickly prepared to end the performance to earn popularity points. After finishing his speech, he bowed to the audience and finally got 300 popularity points, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Excuse me, please move aside!"

"You shameless mage, don't run away!"

As Gildarts drew closer, Ron finally saw the mage chasing him.

He was a burly mage with a pacifier in his mouth and a short, middle-aged man on his head, his eyes filled with anger.

"Grey, Leo, disperse the crowd. I'll be right back after taking care of something."

Ron sighed, then jumped off the stage and changed his clothes in an instant.

[Weapon Transformation Magic - Zanpakuto Hyōrinmaru]

"Ice wall".

Ron swung the Hyōrinmaru towards the ground, creating an ice wall that forced the pursuing mages to a sudden stop.

“Well, Ron, I’m leaving these two to you this time.”

After giving his instructions, Gildarts ran towards the port.

"Kid, are you really going to get involved in this?!"

The middle-aged man shouted at Ron, who was blocking their way.

Ron twirled his knife and stared at the middle-aged man.

"There's no way around it, you and I still have a score to settle, after all..."

He then pointed the tip of his knife at the two of them, his eyes showing a serious expression.

"You almost ruined my performance."

Chapter 74 Six-Clothes Ice Formation

The short, middle-aged man riding the burly man looked puzzled when he heard Ron say this.

A mage suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked our way, then uttered this nonsensical sentence. He's clearly here to cause trouble.

"Hmph, you're crazy. I don't care about any performances."

The short, middle-aged man took out a baby bottle and handed it directly to the burly man below.

"Baby, kill him first, then go find that thief mage!"

"Plop!"

After finishing his milk, the baby casually threw away the bottle and then sped up, charging towards Ron.

However, to Ron, whose perception had been enhanced, the speed at which the baby was crashing was like slow motion; he could tell the direction of the collision with just a glance.

He simply turned slightly to the side, and the baby's bump grazed past him without touching him.

"He's just being nice, keep going!"

The baby, following the instructions of the short, middle-aged man, immediately stopped, turned around, and lunged at Ron again.

Ron easily dodged their second attack, leaving him speechless.

Can't these people perceive the difference between us?

They then lunged at Ron several more times, but unsurprisingly, he dodged them all.

"Hey, why are you still hiding from us? Do you dare to confront us head-on?!"

The baby under the middle-aged man's crotch was panting heavily and stopped. Both of them glared angrily at Ron, who was casually toying with them.

Ron scratched his head expressionlessly and said:

"I can't hurt you before I understand what's going on."

"Is that so? Then..."

"So please stay obediently in my trap and come back after I figure things out."

"Ok?"

The middle-aged man and the baby stood there stunned, then looked down and realized something was wrong.

Six frosty hexagonal marks surrounded them on the ground.

"What is this?!"

"Six-piece Ice Formation".

As Ron finished speaking, the six locations lit up with an ice-blue light, and the six points of light instantly connected to form a huge hexagon.

Before they could react, they were instantly frozen into an ice sculpture, their surprised expressions still preserved within the ice. It was displayed in the square for people to admire.

Ron then put away the Hyōrinmaru, turned around, and headed towards the port.

"Alright, I need to settle accounts with the other uncle who interfered with my performance."

Meanwhile, at the pier in the port.

"So, you're the mages responsible for defeating Unicol?"

The captain asked Gildas, whose ship, which was hunting Unicor, had been waiting at the dock for a long time.

"Ah, this is the commission I accepted. Let's set off."

The captain then looked at the two girls, one big and one small, with the same hair color, and gave them a puzzled look.

The still-shaken little girl hid in the arms of the older girl, avoiding eye contact.

"Do those two over there want a ride too?"

"Yes, we're together, let's set off quickly."

Seeing Gildarts respond with a smile, the captain felt it would be difficult to refuse.

"and many more."

Just as they were about to set sail, Ron arrived at Gildarts's ship with swift steps.

"Haha, Ron, you solved it pretty quickly..."

When Gildarts saw Ron arrive, he gave an awkward smile, scratching his head while breaking out in a cold sweat.

"You, you let me explain..."

Ron maintained a smile, but the veins on his forehead throbbed faintly.

"So, how come the task of hunting monsters resulted in you kidnapping a girl in the street and running away?"

You'd better explain yourself clearly, or I'll tell Makarov everything I saw."

"Hey, do you guys still want to come up here?"

The captain stood on the pier, arms crossed, and looked at Gildarts, asking a question.

"Captain, I'm sorry, please wait a moment longer."

The captain looked helpless and then sighed.

"Alright, you're the mage who received the commission, so we'll naturally listen to you. Tell us when you're ready to board the ship."

After receiving the captain's understanding, Gildarts and the two girls began to explain to Ron.

After listening to Gildarts and the two girls' explanations, Ron fell into deep thought.

It turned out that the middle-aged bald man was the one who issued the commission to deal with Unicor. In order to entertain Gildarts, he invited him to his shop for a drink, and the bald man paid the bill.

It was here that Gildarts happened to run into his sister Emily, who came to pour him a drink. However, seeing her worried expression, Gildarts frowned slightly and realized that something was wrong.

Gildarts then took the opportunity to ask her why she looked so gloomy and if something was bothering her.

Unexpectedly, Emily asked Gildarts for help in taking her eight-year-old sister, Marie, away from the town. It turned out that their parents owed money to the boss, and after their parents passed away, the debt was left to them to pay off.

They were treated like commodities and bought by the bald man. The younger sister worked for the bald man, while the older sister became a hostess.

After receiving the commission, Gildarts couldn't stand by and watch them go, so he took them all away.

He smashed up the shop on the spot, picked up the two sisters and ran away, which caused all the trouble in the square.

Emily looked at Ron with a worried expression and said:

"That's the whole story. It's all my fault, and I've dragged you all into this."

"Don't blame yourself so much, it's normal. I also froze that bald man into an ice cube, he won't recover for the time being, so don't worry."

Ron offered words of comfort, calming the two sisters.

"And then there's Gildas, and Unicor is still lurking at the bottom of the sea. How could you let them take this risk with you?"

I think we should have Uru take the two sisters back to the hotel to rest, and then protect them tomorrow before they come with us on the boat.

Gildarts breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ron was no longer angry.

"You've thought this through very well. I'll board the ship alone then."

"Wait, I'll go with you."

Ron sighed and offered the suggestion.

Gildarts paused for a moment, then gradually smiled.

"Why did you suddenly want to come with me? Have you started to change your opinion of me?"

Ron immediately shook his head, instantly freezing Gildarts's smile.

"No, you're overthinking it. I'm just worried that you'll cause some big trouble again, and if the pier gets damaged, we won't be able to get back quickly."

"Oh, do you have a way to deal with this monster?"

Ron glanced at Gildarts and gave a confident smile.

"You know what, I happen to have a magical artifact that's perfect for dealing with him, but I'll need your cooperation."
