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

After Ron decided to turn the Naruto World Limited Card Pool into a permanent card pool, a new prompt appeared in the air in front of him.

[A permanent quest has been created: During the limited-time gacha period, please accumulate 1000 Popularity Points in towns other than Magnolia Town.]

[During the mission, the target limited-time card pool will not disappear. Once the target card pool becomes a permanent card pool, the limited-time card pool will be immediately replaced by a new limited-time card pool.]

[Accumulated popularity points from other regions during the mission: 0]

After reading the prompt, Ron lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

"Are you just asking me to go to other places to build up my popularity?"

Ron had thought it would be a more difficult task. If it was just a performance in another city, then it wouldn't be a problem. Maybe he could get the cast together in a little time.

Moreover, his original intention was to accumulate popularity and then exhaust the Silent Warlock ability in the Phantom God card pool, which would not hinder his self-improvement.

Since they have to go out, the town's theater troupes can't completely shut down. The popularity they passively accumulate each day adds up to a considerable income.

"Fortunately, the script for Naruto was already written, so I can use it directly."

Ron walked to the bookshelf, took out the script for the Naruto production, and prepared to hand it over to Leqi and Uncle Weiss.

Although Leqi is young, she has been studying at the drama troupe recently, so there shouldn't be any problem having her fill in for the storytelling.

Moreover, her own wood-shaping magic can temporarily create several character puppets. Although the performance effect is not as good as visual effects magic, the quality of the script is enough to keep many viewers engaged.

All he asks now is that the Pure White Theater Troupe can continue to operate normally and accumulate popularity points when he goes out.

After finishing reading the script, Ron noticed that the night outside the window was getting darker, and it was time to return to the theater troupe to prepare for the evening's performance.

"The performance tomorrow is in their hands."

After making his decision, Ron changed back into his costume and headed toward the theater troupe's tent.

……

The next morning, in the Fairy Tail guild hall.

Ron appeared in the hall again, dressed in brand new clothes. He had drawn a C-rank character card this morning, but he still equipped it.

Ron was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, with his black spiky wig and red inverted triangle patterns painted on both sides of his face. This was the outfit of Kiba Inuzuka from Naruto when he was a child.

This time, Ron took a liking to the C-level olfactory talent on his character card. He needed it to enhance his five senses, and since he had one olfactory talent left, he could fill it up.

Currently, his five senses and reaction ability have been enhanced to a certain extent, so if he encounters danger, he can react immediately.

Ron could clearly smell the strong smell of alcohol in the hall when he was at the front door, and the smell became even stronger once he entered.

Everyone greeted Ron as usual, seemingly ignoring his outfit this time.

Over the past year, everyone has gotten used to Ron's cosplay every time, and now they are curious about what kind of eye-catching outfit Ron will wear.

Ron has already raised everyone's standards; if something isn't novel enough, people won't actively complain.

The lobby on the first floor was as noisy as ever. When Kana saw Ron come in, her eyes lit up and she waved to him.

"Hey Ron, is the theater troupe closed today?"

"We have a performance today as usual, but the schedule has been changed recently."

Ron smiled amiably, offering no explanation, and instead ignoring Kana's questioning gaze, walked towards the quest bulletin board deep within the guild.

He raised his head, his eyes quickly scanning the densely packed list of commissions, looking for commissions that he could take care of while he was away performing.

Then, his pupils focused on a mission list with a rather unusual location.

[Suppression Commission: Drive away the pack of Icefield Wolves on the edge of the northern snowy region]

Location: Icemark Town, Northern Snow Mountain

[Reward: 70000J]

Ron pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but smile slightly.

In that case, at this point in time, the only members of the same generation in the Fairy Tail guild are Cana and Laxus, which is a bit few.

If I'm lucky enough to run into that pervert who likes to take off his clothes, I might be able to bring him back.

Fairy Tail's timeline is still a bit confusing; they don't even know what state that person is in now.

Ron tore off the order form, turned around and walked to the bar, handing the form to Makarov, who was sitting at the bar.

"President, I accept this commission."

Makarov picked up the order form, glanced at it, raised an eyebrow, and gave Ron a curious look.

"Ron, aren't your Pure White Theatre Company performing these days?"

Icemark Town is located near the snow-capped mountains in the north; it takes several days to get there.

Ron had already prepared his explanation and began to explain to Makarov.

"Recently, I've encountered some writer's block while working on a script for a drama troupe, and I feel like I need to go on a long trip to sort out my feelings."

I've realized I've spent most of my life in Magnolia, and I plan to use this commission to broaden my horizons, maybe do a performance in the north, gather some inspiration, and then come back.

Upon hearing this, Makarov felt that what Ron said made some sense, so he nodded.

"Going out to gain experience is indeed a good thing, but as I said before, if you encounter danger, survival comes first."

After saying that, Makarov handed the task back, tacitly agreeing that Ron had accepted the mission.

Kana, who was overhearing this, paused for a moment, then got off her chair and moved closer to Ron.

"Ron, when are you coming back?"

Does this mean the Pure White Theatre Company is suspending its performances?

Kana asked half of the question, then turned her face to the side, blushing, and added another sentence.

Ron turned around to comfort Kana.

"Don't worry, we recently changed to a new story. I've already handed over the script to Leqi and Weiss, and they'll be in charge from now on. The performances won't be suspended."

After hearing what Ron said, Kana nodded slightly and muttered:

"Alright then, remember to come back early, and bring back some local specialties while you're at it."

Ron agreed to Kana's request, then turned and left to go home and prepare.

Kana watched Ron's departing figure, a complex expression on her face.

Kana should have been happy to hear that the Pure White Theatre Troupe was still performing.

But she still couldn't feel happy inside, and she didn't know why.

She tilted her head in confusion, then turned back absentmindedly.

She didn't realize that she had sat down at an empty table on the other side.

In her daze, she was completely unaware that her tarot cards were still on the same spot.
