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

The port of Monet was unusually lively the next morning.

Ron and his friends brought the two sisters to the dock, where they encountered an army conducting a search. Ron and his friends were also searched.

The news of the monster Unicorn's defeat spread, finally restoring normal shipping operations that had been stalled.

Meanwhile, troops arrived on the other side of Monet, their purpose being to arrest the middle-aged bald man named Cappuccino.

It turns out they had already received evidence of Cappuccino's crime of taking over the town, but because of Unicol, they were unable to cross the river and only managed to get here last night.

They originally intended to take them back on the spot, but the ice block that froze them left them helpless. They couldn't find a mage who could use fire magic, so they could only send people to guard the ice sculpture all night.

It finally melted this morning, and they effortlessly captured two shivering criminals.

At the dock, Cappuccino and the baby, covered in blankets, were put in magical handcuffs and escorted onto the prison ship.

The two people being escorted were sneezing and wiping their noses, clearly suffering from severe colds.

While being questioned, Ron glanced at them and couldn't help but think to himself, "What do you mean?"

The physical fitness of people in this world is truly extraordinary; they didn't even freeze to death.

On the other side of the dock, the army captain learned of the victims harmed by cappuccino and went to check the final statements with the Emily sisters.

After Cappuccino was found guilty, Emily and Marie finally burst into tears of joy.

"Ron, you're a Fairy Tail mage, right?"

The army captain closed the notebook, frowned, and asked Ron a question.

"What's wrong?"

Ron looked puzzled.

"No, I just remembered that a town was half destroyed a few days ago. According to insiders, it was done by a mage from Fairy Tail. Do you have any leads?"

Ron scratched his head and gave an awkward smile.

"Haha, I don't know, after all, I've never done such a thing before. They might have mistaken me for someone else."

"Maybe. You don't look like that kind of person. I'm just asking as usual."

The army captain patted Ron on the shoulder helplessly and let out a sigh of regret.

"If only all the mages in Fairy Tail were as well-behaved and didn't cause trouble as you, you'd be a good kid."

Ron nodded smugly and accepted the praise.

Putting aside the fact that I cause trouble, at least every time I do something destructive, it's because I'm forced to do it for work, and it's really not my fault.

It's fortunate that this captain isn't working in Magnolia, where the law enforcement team is struggling with their bizarre daily outfits and doesn't know how to handle strange complaints from the public.

Compared to those mages in the guild who casually demolish buildings, my little stunts are nothing to them.

"By the way, where did you buy that big Protoss bird you're holding? It's quite a nice-looking one."

The army captain saw a string in Ron's hand. Following the string upwards, he saw a large, ink-wash bird with a rope around its neck, hovering quietly in the air.

Uru and the others, who were standing nearby, looked embarrassed upon hearing this, and the Emily sisters also looked over guiltily.

"Oh, you mean this? The magic shops around here don't sell it; I drew it myself."

Ron pointed to the birds flying in the sky and explained with a smile.

"Drawn? The art of painting these days is truly bizarre and wonderful."

Alright, we won't keep you any longer. Have a safe trip!

After saying this, the army captain bowed to Ron and his group and boarded the army ship.

After capturing these underground dark forces, the army captain led his men, escorting Cappuccino and the others away from the dock.

After the army had completely disappeared from sight, Uru and the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief.

Ron also breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at the ink-wash bird with a helpless expression.

"Stop hiding, they're gone."

Then a person poked their head out from the giant bird; it was Gildarts, who had been hiding from the army.

"Phew, we were exposed after all. Next time we sabotage, we'll have to be careful to make sure no one's around."

Gildarts then gave Ron a thumbs-up in praise.

"This time it's all thanks to you. You're so resourceful; you managed to evade their detection."

Ron sighed helplessly. Was it a matter of whether there were witnesses or not?

Fortunately, Ron discovered the army was approaching when he arrived at the docks. When he informed Gildarts, the latter showed a shocked expression.

He then wondered what other way Ron, with so many clever ideas, could possibly evade them. Ron then gave him this trick, which unexpectedly worked and allowed him to escape their sight.

"Let's get off, it's time for us to board the ship."

Ron spoke to Gildarts, who nodded and jumped down.

After Gildarts jumped down, he and Ron walked to the dock of the passenger ship.

Coincidentally, the captain of this passenger ship was the same captain who had taken Ron and the others hunting the night before.

"Welcome aboard...?"

He was smiling at first, but when he turned around and saw Ron and Gildarts, his expression became complicated.

Seeing them reminded me of the capsizing incident last night; the scene is still vivid in my mind.

"It's you guys again?"

"Hey Captain, what a coincidence!"

Ron smiled and greeted him.

The captain glanced at Gildarts and Ron, then at the group following them, and finally took a deep breath, smiling to welcome them.

"Come in. The ship capsizing was just an accident; it has nothing to do with you."

Moreover, without you, our large passenger ship wouldn't have been able to cross the river.

The captain patted his chest proudly and announced loudly:

"You are heroes who eliminated Unikol, so I'll waive your tickets for this trip!"

"Thank you, Captain. It's nothing, you don't need to go to such lengths."

Ron and his group were overjoyed and then followed the captain onto the deck of the passenger ship.

Ooh!

Then a whistle sounded, and the passenger ship slowly left the dock on the Monet River, heading west towards the town of Monet.

On the deck, Gray and Leo excitedly looked at the surrounding river view, while Uru chatted with the two sisters.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"We plan to ask relatives for help. Thank you so much! We can finally start our lives anew."

Ron and Gildarts watched as the two sisters happily talked about their future life living with relatives, and couldn't help but smile with relief.
