A New Life in Fairy Tail

Gildarts chimed in from the side. ”I didn’t do much this time. Noah was the one who did all the work. If you want to thank someone, thank him, not me.”

”Just by being here, you were the best support we could ask for. We must thank you.”

”Alright, let’s not talk about that for now,” Noah interjected, asking Ur, ”What are your plans now?”

”I plan to travel with them for a while, to let them see how vast the world is. At the same time,” Ur glanced at Ultear behind her, ”I want to find another way to treat her condition. But this time, I will be there to watch over the entire process.”

Noah remembered that Ultear suffered from having too much magic power for her body, causing a constant high fever. It was only natural that Ur would want to continue looking for a solution. But after the incident with the Magic Development Bureau, she would of course never feel safe leaving her daughter alone again.

”I know healing arts,” Noah said. ”I can treat Ultear’s condition.”

”Really?!” Ur grabbed Noah’s shoulders, her expression urgent. ”You can really solve my daughter’s problem?”

Ultear also looked at Noah with eyes full of hope. She wanted to be cured quickly so her mother wouldn’t have to work so hard for her, and so that nothing like what happened at the Bureau would ever happen again.

Noah gently patted Ur’s arms, prompting her to release his shoulders. ”Hey, I’m right here, no need to be in such a hurry. I can indeed solve Ultear’s problem. A member of my guild had the exact same symptoms, and he’s been cured.”

Gildarts spoke up from the side. ”Noah, you’re not talking about Laxus, are you?”

”That’s right, it’s Laxus,” Noah confirmed. He then explained to Ur, ”Laxus from my guild is three years older than me, thirteen this year. He was also born with too much magic power for his body to handle. In the end, we used a method to solve his problem. However, his specific method isn’t suitable for Ultear. I plan to use a similar approach to solve her issue.”

Ur was curious. ”May I ask what method you used?”

Noah shook his head. ”He used an extremely rare and unique item. There was only one, and there are no more.”

Ur didn’t press further and asked another question instead. ”May I ask how you plan to treat Ultear?”

”Of course. You’re her family, you have the right to know. I plan to strengthen Ultear’s physical constitution.”

”Strengthen her physical constitution?” Ur was puzzled.

”That’s right. Do you remember the reason for her illness?”

”She was born with too much magic power, which her body couldn’t handle, causing the high fever.”

”Exactly. The body can’t handle the magic power. So, if the body can’t handle it, why not just strengthen the body?”

”But how? Ultear’s body is very frail right now; she can’t do any physical training at all.”

”We don’t need to strengthen her body too much, just enough so she can handle her current magic level. After that, she can continue to strengthen herself through normal training. However, the specific treatment can only begin once we’re back in Magnolia. That’s where I have the necessary equipment.”

”Then you should all come back to Magnolia with us,” Noah invited. ”That way, I can start Ultear’s treatment.”

Ur thought for a moment. ”Alright. We’ll pack our things and go to Magnolia.”

Hearing that her illness could be cured, Ultear’s eyes lit up. She hugged her mother’s waist tightly, peeking out at Noah. Ur gently stroked her daughter’s head, a happy look on her face. If her daughter’s illness could truly be cured, a great weight would be lifted from her heart.

After checking that they hadn’t left anything behind, Noah leveled the ground in the area, at least filling in the massive crater. Then, he used his teleportation magic to take everyone back to Ur’s friend’s house.

Ur said her goodbyes to her friend and packed her things. Then, Noah used his magic to transport the entire group back to Magnolia.

Upon arriving at their destination, Gildarts shouted a quick farewell and then, yelling, ”Cana-chan, Daddy’s back!” and ”Cana-chan, Daddy missed you so much!”, he bolted, disappearing from sight at an incredible speed.

Everyone stared, stunned. Ur asked, a little confused, ”Gildarts, is he...?”

Noah explained, ”Gildarts has a daughter named Cana. She’s eight years old. He loves his daughter very much and they’re almost never apart, so he was in a hurry to get back to her.”

Ur looked in the direction Gildarts had gone, a knowing look on her face. ”I can see that. I have a daughter too; I understand how he feels. Of course, the first thing you want to do when you get back is see your child.”

Hearing her mother say this, Ultear hugged her waist tighter. Ur gently stroked her daughter’s head in return.

”Let’s not stand around in the road talking,” Noah said. ”Let’s go to my house. I want to check on Ultear first and see what her condition is.”

Ur nodded quickly. Right now, her daughter’s health was the most important thing.

Noah led them back to his home. He opened the door and saw Erza and the others resting inside. They had just finished their training and were taking a break after lunch. Hearing the door open, they wondered who was back and saw Noah walk in first.

Erza leaped up from the sofa and ran over to him. ”Big Brother Noah! Didn’t you say you’d be gone for a few days? You’re back so soon! And who are these people?”

”Things went smoothly, so we finished up. This is Miss Ur, and the girl next to her is Ultear, her daughter. The two boys in the back are Gray, the one with black hair, and Lyon. They’re both her apprentices.”

Just then, Simon and Kagura also came over, and everyone introduced themselves.

After they all knew each other, Noah led Ur and Ultear to his laboratory on the first floor. This was a lab Noah usually used for experiments, but since he had been focused on learning magic for the past few years, he hadn’t used it much. Still, it had all the necessary equipment.

He performed some checks on Ultear and found that the gap between her physical constitution and her magic power wasn’t too large. However, the crude experiments at the Magic Development Bureau had caused a lot of internal damage that would require slow and careful treatment. He concluded that they could perform the body strengthening and the recovery therapy at the same time.

Hearing that her daughter’s condition was still manageable, some of Ur’s rage towards the Bureau subsided.
