Fairy Tail: I'm just an archaeologist

After returning to the port of Hargeon and returning the ship to the shipowner, Xia Zuo and his party boarded the train back to Magnolia.

The atmosphere on the way was much more relaxed.

Uru and Urrutia were arm in arm. They didn't look like mother and daughter, but more like a pair of sisters.

Uru listened to his daughter's story about what happened over the years and found that his daughter always glanced at Xia Zuo intentionally or unintentionally.

Uru, a"widow" who raised her daughter alone after her husband died early, was a person who had experienced it. How could she not see her daughter's thoughts? The gentle look she gave Xia Zuo immediately turned into a scrutinizing look.

What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel a stronger sense of oppression than my mother urging me to find a girlfriend? For a moment, Xia Zuo felt uneasy for the first time in his life.

Urrutia, who leaned her head on her mother's shoulder, saw Xia Zuo's fidgeting look and secretly poked her mother's hand.

Feeling her daughter's little movements, Uru felt a little helpless. The little girl turned her elbow outward so quickly, and it was also her fault that she couldn't accompany her daughter.

"Xia Zuo"

"Yes, senior."Xia Zuo sat upright, not daring to neglect.

Wu Lu saw Xia Zuo like this and smiled slightly,"Relax, I just want to thank you for taking care of Xiao Lei over the years."

"Lei and I are friends, and it is only natural for friends to care for each other."

Lui? She even called Urrutia by her nickname. Urrutia didn't expect that his daughter and Xia Zuo's relationship had reached this point.

The atmosphere gradually solidified.

Fortunately, Gray, a good brother, broke the deadlock,"Master, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to join our [Fairy Tail]? Our guild is very strong."

"【Fairy Tail] Ah……"An old friend appeared in Ulu's mind,"Gray, is Gildarts still alive?"

"What do you mean"still alive"? He is the strongest wizard in our guild."

For some reason, Gray found that Uru seemed a little disappointed when he heard his answer.

Urrutia rubbed his daughter's head and said with a slightly regretful tone:"It's a pity that the drunkard hasn't drunk himself to death yet."

Gray was shocked. Could it be that the master had a grudge with Gildarts?

Xia Zuo remembered something,"Senior Uru, are you the ice wizard friend of Gildarts?"

"Oh, Gildarts mentioned me?"

Xia Zuo nodded,"After hearing the news of your death, Gildarts cried so hard that he drank up the guild's wine cellar by himself. There was also a bottle of the president's collection among them. The president was almost mad at him and fainted."

Xia Zuo said this, but in fact, he had always suspected that Gildarts had a drinking addiction and found an excuse to drink a lot, but now it seems that he was wrong.

"Haha, this is indeed something that drunkard would do."

Uru was a little touched,"It seems that the drunkard really likes my friend. The last time he had a big drink was after he divorced his wife.""

Wait! Gildarts has a wife? Or should it be more appropriate to call her"ex-wife" now?

Xia Zuo and Gray looked at each other, and they couldn't help but want to see more.

Especially Gray, who was lucky enough to know Gildarts' privacy before Natsu.

Uru also did not hesitate to reveal some things about his old friend's past.

"Did you know that when Gildarts was young, he was a handsome guy, and the girls who chased him could line up from the front to the back of the city."

"But this bastard is not proactive, does not refuse, and is not responsible."

"But even so, there are still many girls chasing him"

"The result is that within a hundred miles of that guy, there must be an ex-girlfriend."

Fuck!

This is really explosive news. The young Gildarts is actually a playboy.

Xia Zuo and Gray, who had eaten the shocking news, couldn't wait to share the gossip about the strongest man with their guildmates.

Uru continued to expose the news.

"One day, Gildarts met his true love, and they fell in love at first sight. So he married the girl named Cornelia."

"But you should know that Gildarts is an adventurous man, so the marriage ended soon."

"After they divorced, I also visited Cornelia. She gave birth to a daughter for Gildarts, but she didn't tell Gildarts."

"I wanted to tell Gildarts, but then Deliora started causing trouble in the north of the continent, so I rushed back north and picked up Gray."

"You should have heard about what happened next from Leon and Gray."What happened next is that Uru used his life to seal Deliora. Gray was very excited when he heard the gossip about Gildarts before, but now he was like being poured with a bucket of cold water and suddenly became silent.

Xia Zuo didn't remember Gildarts bringing a girl back to the guild. Natsu, who was closest to Gildarts in the guild, didn't seem to have a blood relationship with Gildarts.

In other words, Gildarts might not know that he had a child? Or maybe it was because Cornelia didn't want her daughter to follow the path of a wizard.

"Senior, do you know what the name of Gildarts' child is?"

Uru fell into thought, trying to recall the past,"I think it's Kana?"

This time, Xia Zuo couldn't laugh just like Gray, because they just happened to know a girl named Kana.

Xia Zuo, Shani, and Gray all joined Fairy Tail 10 years ago. But at that time, in addition to Xia Zuo and Gray, there was another girl who joined the guild two years earlier than them.

According to the president and the older generation of the guild, the girl was a fan of Gildarts and was guarding Gildarts outside the guild every day.

Wakaba and Makao, who were still young at the time, saw that the little girl was alone with only a little white dog for company, and worried that she was in danger, so they invited the little girl to rest in the guild.

But Gildarts always came and went in a hurry and didn't say a few words to the little girl. In order to see Gildarts again, the little girl joined the guild.

As time passed, the little girl grew up, the little white dog disappeared, and she became addicted to alcohol. Her attitude towards Gildarts also changed from excitement at the beginning to indifference now.

The girl's name is Kana.

Xia Zuo clearly remembered that when she was a child, her mother Shani asked Kana if she had any family, Kana's answer was"Mom is dead and Dad doesn't know her."

Xia Zuo sighed, thinking of Kana who never let go of the wine, and became an alcoholic by imitating her father, and he felt uncomfortable.

"I don't know where that bastard Gildarts has gone.……"

A quick ring rang, Xia Zuo turned on his PHS and saw a video call request from Uncle Ivan.

Xia Zuo frowned slightly, as video calls were still an experimental feature of PHS and had many shortcomings that had not yet been perfected.

But Ivan must have something urgent to do, otherwise he would not have risked using the video call feature.

Xia Zuo pressed the answer button and Ivan's crying voice came immediately.

"Help, Xia Zuo! I was caught by Gildarts!"
