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

No, even if they practice for several more years, they might not be as energetic as me.

I have all sorts of natural talents for being physically strong, so how could their physical condition be the same as mine?

Looking at the exhausted employees, Ron chuckled softly.

"Everyone has worked hard today, so let me treat you to a meal. I'll also throw a welcome party for the newcomers, Paris and Doronbo!"

Paris and Doronbo then came to their senses, sat up, and their eyes gleamed.

"Great!"

Leqi jumped up happily and cheered.

Ron was the first to approach the curtain behind the stage and gently lift it.

"Alright, I'll wait for you guys to get ready outside... okay?"

When Ron lifted the curtain, he found a figure already waiting quietly outside. His hand paused, and he was slightly taken aback.

Leqi recognized the figure outside first, pushed up her glasses, and said:

"Kana, what are you doing here?"

Kana, who had been in a daze outside the curtain, came to her senses and was startled. Only then did she reveal her panicked eyes and greet them.

"Hey, did I come at the wrong time?"

After greeting her, she quickly turned her face away, took a half step back, and gave an awkward smile.

Leqi nodded and echoed:

"That's right, our performance is over. If you want to buy tickets, you'll have to come early tomorrow to queue up."

"Is that so? Then I'll be going now..."

Then Ron interrupted Kana and quickly invited her:

"No, you've come at the perfect time. We're just about to throw a welcome party for our new member. Let's go together."

Kana looked surprised and quickly shook her head.

"Hey? That's not a good idea..."

"What's wrong with that? The leader has already invited you, so you should come along."

The enthusiastic Leqi quickly pulled Kana aside, and they ended up chatting.

Cana joined Ron's dinner party, her initial anxiety and nervousness quickly dissipating.

When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Kana completely relaxed.

With the presence of Rachel and Ron, she smoothly integrated into the troupe's welcome party.

Paris and Doronbo saw the roast meat on the table and devoured it as if they hadn't eaten for days.

"Kana, you met the new girl today, right? What did you think?"

Ron sat opposite Kana and asked her about Uru and the others.

"You mean Uru and Grelios?"

Sister Uru and Chairman Makarov had a very pleasant chat.

Kana smiled and shared guild matters with Ron, saying that Ur had already gained the approval of most of the mages in the guild.

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and couldn't help but laugh.

"Grey and Leo's conversation was quite amusing. When I went in, Uru was lecturing them about not being 'Xinweilu' (a derogatory term for someone who acts like a bully)."

The two of them, wearing only shorts, were scolded by Sister Ulu until they had several bumps on their heads!

Doronbo and Paris laughed when they heard this, while Leqi showed a shocked and amused expression.

Ron couldn't help but chuckle, already imagining the scene of Gray and the others being taught a lesson. After all, he and Uruk had seen this kind of thing many times on their journey together.

"Yes, it seems they're adapting quite well."

"Yes, but it's still not as sensational as you, Ron."

"Huh? Why is the guild still talking about me?"

Kana smiled and said:

"Because of your sealing of Deliora, the chairman plans to go to the council to help you collect the bounty for Deliora. That's an S-rank mission, you've really struck gold this time."

Viss, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed with admiration, never expecting that the captain, as a mage, would possess such formidable strength.

Ron nodded. Since the money was free, he figured he might as well take it.

This is perfect funding to invest in the Pure White Drama Troupe and gain more popularity.

Thanks to Ron and his team's efforts, they finished every last bite of the food ordered at the dinner party.

Leqi and Weiss said goodbye to Ron and the others at the intersection and went home to rest.

As for Paris and Doronbo, who had nowhere to stay for the time being, Ron took them to an inn in town and booked rooms for them to stay temporarily.

Ron tossed the key to them and gave the order:

"You can stay here for the night. I'll talk to Gray and the others again tomorrow and ask if there are any other places to rent nearby."

"Thank you, Commander!"

The two bowed repeatedly in gratitude, and after Ron waved his hand, they went back to their room.

After settling them in, Ron and Cana left the hotel.

Now only Ron and Kana remained, walking back along the long street.

"They seem like a good couple, so you can relax now."

After the dinner, Kana smiled happily and said casually.

Ron gave a helpless smile and waved his hand casually.

"Let's just make do. They still have a lot to learn."

The two walked side by side until Ron spoke:

"You were just supposed to go back with Leqi, why did you stay?"

Upon hearing this, Kana's smile froze instantly, turning into an expression of annoyance.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the important thing."

After Ron reminded her, she realized that she had come to the theater troupe to see Ron, but she had forgotten about it while having dinner and had made a mistake.

Her relaxed mood tightened again, and then she realized that Ron was the only one left here, which helped her suppress her panic.

Then Kana took a deep breath, stopped, faced Ron, and showed a determined look in her eyes.

“Ron, there’s something I… want to ask you.”

Chapter 90 Bleach World Gacha Pool Permanent Residency

A gentle night breeze blew through Kana's hair, causing the strands to sway with the air currents.

Ron also stopped and turned around, patiently waiting for her.

Sure enough, Kana wanted to talk to me about something; I had a pretty good idea of ​​her intentions when she came to the backstage area.

"Ask whatever you want, it's just the two of us here."

Kana's eyes flickered, avoiding Ron's gaze. She pursed her lips before mustering her courage.

"Actually, this question has been bothering me for a long time. Since you came back with Gildarts today, it would be better to ask clearly."

What...is your relationship with Gildarts?

Ron sighed and calmly responded to Kana.

"You misunderstood. He and I are not related by blood. Don't worry about it."

Kana lowered her head and asked again, clearly not believing it.

"But...but he's quite affectionate towards you, almost like he's treating you..."

Kana swallowed the rest of her sentence, revealing a conflicted look in her eyes.

"No, you'll know once you spend more time with him that he's actually a very approachable older man."

Upon hearing this reply, Kana lowered her head and gave a bitter smile.

"Sorry, it's stupid of me to ask this question."

It's perfectly normal that you two spend a lot of time together; I'm just overthinking it.

Seeing that Cana was still silently struggling, Ron took the initiative to speak first.

"Actually, the reason you're so bothered by this is because I got more attention from Gildarts than you did, that's why you're so conflicted."

Kana was slightly taken aback, then looked up at him in surprise.

"It's normal for you to ask this question, because you are his biological daughter, it's only natural."

Kana's pupils contracted slightly, and an embarrassed blush crept onto her cheeks.

"How...how did you know? I...I let it slip before?"

Her innermost secret was now revealed by Ron, and she immediately panicked, examining where she had given herself away.

Ron put on an "I knew it" expression and quickly reassured Kana not to panic.

"Don't be nervous, I was just guessing."

But since you accepted it so casually, it seems it's true.

Upon hearing this, Kana's eyes widened instantly, her flustered expression turning into one of embarrassment, and the blush on her face turned even redder.

"You actually tricked me?"

Blushing, Kana gritted her teeth and glared at him, then stepped forward and punched him in the shoulder.

Although Ron said he didn't feel anything, he still took a half step back and showed a guilty expression.

I did feel a little guilty; I couldn't very well say that I knew the plot, not just guessed.

After throwing a punch to vent her frustration, Kana's eyes dimmed again, and she worriedly rubbed her arms, feeling increasingly anxious.

"So, will you tell him?"

She raised her head with a slight frown, waiting earnestly for Ron's response.

Ron looked at Kana's eyes and shook his head in denial.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You'll have to take the initiative to acknowledge them."

Until you're mentally prepared, I'll keep my mouth tightly shut.

However, if Kana still refuses to acknowledge him as she did in the original story, I wouldn't mind offering her extra help.

Kana breathed a sigh of relief, her worries and anxieties finally subsiding after Ron's assurance.

Her brows stopped furrowing, and a cheerful smile returned.

"Thank you, Ron."

She returned to her usual self, which brought a smile to Ron's face.

"Let's go, it's getting late. I'll take you back to rest."

The two of them started walking down the street again, and unknowingly they developed a secret that belonged only to the two of them.

Cana returned safely to Fairy Tail's girls' dormitory, and Ron also returned to his residence.

After a night's rest, the sun rose over Magnolia the next morning.

Ron only slept briefly before getting up again to wash up and prepare his breakfast.

Seeing the countdown to the gacha pull reset to zero, he munched on his freshly toasted bread while choosing which gacha pool to pull from today.

He ultimately chose to draw from the Naruto card pool between the two world card pools, and thus drew a B-rank character card.

When he saw that the character card depicted a smiling blond boy, he was slightly taken aback, and the toast in his mouth fell off. His left hand instinctively caught the toast.
