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

In the cold of the night, a magical four-wheeled vehicle sped across the snow, heading in the opposite direction from where Ron and his companions were.

In the driver's seat, Urutia gripped the steering wheel tightly and bit her lower lip.

Tears streamed down her face from under her hood, soaking her collar.

Her eyes, hidden in the shadows, were no longer confused; instead, they were filled with hatred and anger once more.

She encountered Leo on her journey, learned the news from him, and after hearing that her mother had always missed her daughter, she finally understood the truth of everything.

Ron’s mother never abandoned her; everything she said was true.

Those people, the director of the Magic Development Bureau, deceived my mother and destroyed her life!

But after realizing that she had been hating the wrong person and had gone down the wrong path, she is now unable to return to her mother's side.

"I... am no longer qualified to go back."

Urutia gritted her teeth and stared ahead. The hatred in her heart had not dissipated, but her target had shifted.

To continue growing stronger and to avenge those sinners, she still needs to return to the heart of the demon, back to Hades' side.

She needs to find the culprit who orchestrated the human experiments and ruined her!

"Brian..."

Ultear strained her lungs to power the engine of the magical four-wheeled vehicle, which roared to life.

The vehicle's speed instantly increased to its maximum, and the rapidly spinning wheels kicked up high waves of snow on the snow.

"Brian...unforgivable...!"

……

A few hours later, the first rays of dawn shone on the ruined town near Blago.

As dawn broke, security forces from nearby towns and spontaneously organized rescue teams arrived at the scene one after another, and mages skilled in construction also lingered in the town.

They saw the shattered ice crystals scattered on the ground and cheered when they learned that Deliora could no longer be found nearby.

The refugees were properly resettled, and supplies were delivered continuously.

The news that Deliora had been defeated by the mysterious mage quickly spread throughout the entire northern continent, putting everyone who heard the news at ease.

They couldn't help but pray and thank the mysterious mage.

As the one who ended this nightmare, he had already left the town and arrived at the wooden house with Uru and the others.

Crackling sound~

The firewood in the fireplace burned quietly, and Uru and the others sat in chairs at the wooden table, listening attentively to what Ron had to say.

"Ron, is what you're saying true?!"

Uru's pupils contracted, and he stood up excitedly, bracing himself on the table with both hands as he approached Ron with a worried expression.

Gray and Leo, sitting on either side, were startled by Uru's action; it was the first time they had ever seen her like this.

Ron pulled his head back and quickly turned his face away.

"Sister Uru, please calm down."

It's alright if you're rude, but I'm afraid I'll be rude.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Uru snapped out of his daze and realized his rudeness, sitting back down with an embarrassed blush.

Ron cleared his throat, quickly erasing the vivid images from his mind and getting back to the topic.

Ron looked at Uru, who still had an anxious expression on his face, his inner unease evident in his expression.

He lowered his head and exhaled.

"These are all unconfirmed intelligence reports, but all indications suggest that the Magic Development Bureau is indeed fabricating lies to deceive families in order to obtain experimental subjects with great potential."

Although the whereabouts of these children are unknown, there is still a possibility that they are alive.

Ron looked at Uru with a serious expression.

"So your daughter is very likely still alive."

Uru's eyes reddened slightly, and she lowered her head, but the joy in her heart made her smile.

"Really? That's wonderful."

She clenched her fists on her thighs, lifted her head with effort, and her eyes shone with hope.

"As long as she's alive, I'll find her no matter where she is!"

She originally only wanted to live peacefully here and not do anything else.

But now she has a new goal.

Ron nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it's unclear why Urutia doesn't reunite with her mother, it seems Urutia is still quite eager to do so.

I've given them enough ambiguous information for now; helping them any further isn't a solution. They have to find a way to solve this themselves.

If I reveal any more information, they might start to doubt whether I'm actually a member of the Magic Development Bureau.

As a mage, I prefer to keep a low profile and focus on developing my skills safely.

"However, I didn't expect you to be from the guild managed by that Ten Wizard Saint, Makarov."

Coming from so far away, no wonder they're so powerful and possess such top-tier magical artifacts.

After chatting for so long, Uru finally learned that Ron was a mage from the Kingdom of Fiore.

In a place where mage culture is prevalent, it wouldn't be surprising to have such strength.

"No, I am primarily the head of the Pure White Theater Troupe; I only work part-time as a mage."

As for magical artifacts, they are merely inheritances left to me by my parents.

Ron shook his head, half-jokingly refuting Uru's statement.

Uru rolled his eyes. With your skills, you say you're just doing it part-time? Who would believe that?

"Uru, is that mage guild famous?"

Gray, standing to the side, looked on with curiosity, his interest piqued.

Uru nodded and gently stroked Gray's spiky head.

"That's right, this continent is very large, and there are still many mages stronger than me. For example, that Ten Wizard Saints is stronger than me."

Gray's eyes widened and gleamed.

"Is it stronger than Uru?"

"I object!"

On the other side, Leo expressed his dissatisfaction and stood up agitatedly.

"Uru is the strongest mage, how could there possibly be a mage like this!"

As a Urudan supporter, he vowed to defend his rights to the death.

bang~

Uru slapped Leo on the head, shattering his illusion.

"it hurts!"

Leo covered his head, his eyes showing a wronged expression.

"Leo, this continent is very large, and there are many mages outside who are stronger than me."

Uru looked at his two troublesome disciples and shook his head helplessly.

"Looks like I need to take you out more to see the world."

"Hey, I do have an idea."

Seeing that the time was right, Ron interrupted the conversation, ready to reveal his plans.

"Since you need to find information about the Magic Development Bureau, and you also need to take the two of them to broaden their horizons, Sister Uru."

Then I'll recommend a good place.

Ron looked at the three of them, master and apprentice, and gave them a genuine smile.

"Come back with me and join Fairy Tail."
