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

"Fairy Tail?"

Gray and Leo looked at each other, then repeated the guild's name, their minds filled with endless imagination.

"You're right, the intelligence sources in this country are relatively limited for mages."

"If we went to the kingdom of Fiore in the west, perhaps we could get more information."

Uru lowered his head and pondered for a while, then nodded slightly, feeling that Ron's idea was quite good.

Currently, she needs the help of a powerful mage guild to find her daughter.

"The three of you, master and disciples, can join together. I believe Chairman Makarov would be happy to accept you."

Upon receiving Ron's affirmative response, Uru lowered his head and gently patted Gray and Leo on the shoulders.

What are your thoughts?

You still need to grow and truly see a wider world.

Gray nodded, his eyes filled with determination.

"After realizing the gap between myself and Deliora, I want to become stronger, and I want to see the outside world!"

Leo, who was standing nearby, also chimed in, expressing his own thoughts.

"I was always going to follow Uru; wherever you go, we'll go!"

Uru looked at his two apprentices and smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's go together then."

"Okay, let's decide on that."

Ron breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all three of them had agreed to go back with him; it seemed that things were progressing smoothly.

"However, I'd like to remind you that the journey to the Kingdom of Fiore from here is long and will cost a considerable amount..."

Ron then raised some concerns with Uru and Gray, and sighed when he mentioned the cost.

"I originally planned to take care of the commissioned tasks while touring, but I didn't expect to run into this."

To seal that demon, I used all my family's heirloom magical artifacts. I'll have to earn some money by performing along the way.

Hearing Ron's troubled expression about this, Uru felt a pang of guilt.

After all, Ron's arrival not only saved their lives but also brought them important information about the Department of Magical Development.

She lowered her head, thinking about how to repay this kindness, when her eyes lit up and she came up with a good idea.

"Ron, if you don't mind, the three of us will put on a show for you before we reach Magnolia Town?"

"Just tell us what to do."

"A theater troupe performance?"

Gray not only didn't object, but his eyes lit up.

"That sounds interesting. I've never seen a play before in my life."

Leo also revealed the same childlike look in Gray's eyes, eager to get started.

"That's right, how exactly did they perform it? It sounds like so much fun."

Ron was taken aback, not expecting them to offer to help so readily, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Ron showed a grateful expression, and since that was the case, he wouldn't stand on ceremony.

"That's great! With your help, my performance will be much easier."

But don't worry, as temporary members, I will still pay you.

As he spoke, Ron took out several scripts from his travel bag and handed them over.

Uru smiled as he accepted the script and then shared it with Gray and Leo.

"No problem, let's treat this journey as an experience of life in a theater troupe, let's go together."

So, after Uru and the other two finished packing everything in the cabin, they set off early with Ron.

Of course, they also took the script with them and familiarized themselves with it on the way. Gray and Leo read it with great interest, as if they were reading a novel, and became engrossed in the story.

Ron and his three friends arrived in their usual town to prepare for their first performance.

Gray and Leo can just wear the same costumes as Ron, since they are about the same size, they're just a little loose on them.

As for Uru, Ron simply sent her to the streets to promote her business, hoping to attract more customers and quickly increase her popularity.

Ron was still the storyteller this time, but he moved to the very back, letting Gray and Leo, who had a desire to perform, go up and perform. It was still the script of "Naruto".

Although it caused quite a few incidents, such as Gray and Leo taking off their clothes halfway through their performance, which made Ron unable to resist rushing up and beating them up.

Surprisingly, the residents who attended for the first time found the performance very entertaining, with laughter echoing throughout the venue, and the show received rave reviews.

As night fell, they used the money they had earned from the performance to stay temporarily at a hotel in town.

Since there were no rooms available for three people, Ron booked three rooms: one for Ron, one for Uru, and one double room for Gray and Leo.

"Alright, now we finally have time to settle the accounts."

After washing up, Ron went to his private room and opened his control panel to check the Hitsugaya Toshiro character card.

[Current character role completion rate: 100%, settlement can be completed in advance...]

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

Having made up his mind, Ron did not hesitate to choose his fourth ability, the Zanpakuto Hyōrinmaru.

After obtaining Hyōrinmaru and integrating it into his panel, a new prompt appeared before his eyes.

[The S-rank character card that was obtained from the settlement has been detected to have the potential to become a top-tier character and has been permanently added to the top-tier character card pool.]

Ron revealed an expression of "I knew it," indicating that this character card had good abilities and potential.

He felt the power of this S-rank character card as soon as he put it on, but unfortunately his magic power was not enough to maintain Bankai, otherwise he could have continued fighting for a longer time.

Now he doesn't have to worry about wasting the other abilities of this character card. As long as he has popularity points, he can still acquire these abilities.

As for the previous Sai character card, he still chose [Ink Painting Magic - Super Beast (B)], since its functionality is much better than Ink Clone.

Moreover, he now has temporary members and doesn't need to create clones for the time being. He just needs to draw a character with the clone ability again before going back.

As for the popularity points required for the permanent missions, I've already collected 130 today. It seems that in a few days, the Naruto World card pool will be one of the permanent card pools.

Ron shook his head as he recalled Gray and his friends' first performance today, but his face was full of smiles.

Although they interrupted Ron's storytelling several times, they still gained a lot of popularity as a result.

"With their company, the journey wasn't too boring."
