Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Cana was also stunned at this moment. She still could not distinguish whether what was before her was a dream or reality. Her mind was a complete mess.

”Oh, you called Cornelia Mom? Hehe, uh, hehehe...”

After hearing this, Gildarts laughed foolishly, and no one knew what exactly he was laughing about.

”Um, Cornelia, long time no see. Congratulations! I really didnʼt expect that you had already become a mother, and your daughter is already this big...”

After laughing foolishly for a while, Gildarts walked before Cornelia, the woman he loved most, and congratulated her.

”Huh? Gildarts, what foolish words are you saying? Cana is your and my child!”

After hearing Gildartsʼs words, Cornelia furrowed her elegant brows. With one hand on her waist, she looked at Gildarts with a somewhat angry expression.

”Oh! Cana is actually your and my child! Haha, thatʼs really interesting...”

”Eh? Wait, Cornelia, what did you just say? You said Cana is whose child with you?”

At this moment, Gildarts was already panicked beyond recognition. He no longer had the appearance of one of the top great mages in Fairy Tail. He was like a jammed robot, his limbs extremely uncoordinated, stiffly twisting as he constantly turned between Cana and Cornelia.

”Cana, donʼt tell me you still havenʼt told Gildarts that you are his daughter?”

”Before I passed away, didnʼt I already clearly tell you to go to Fairy Tail to find your father, Gildarts, and then tell him that you are Gildartsʼs daughter?”

Looking at Gildartsʼs appearance, Cornelia instantly understood something. She immediately looked toward Cana, her brows tightly furrowed.

”Mom, I-I always wanted to say it, but, itʼs just, um...”

Canaʼs pretty face was bright red. Her voice was very thin, like a mosquito flapping its wings, producing buzzing sounds.

”Sigh...”

Looking at Canaʼs appearance, a trace of realization flashed through Corneliaʼs eyes. Now she already understood everything.

Cana was her daughter. No one understood her daughter better than her...

Most likely, when Cana faced Gildarts, she did not dare step forward and was too embarrassed to tell Gildarts that she was his daughter. After all, Gildarts truly was too dazzling.

”In short, this child Cana is your daughter! You must properly take responsibility for her!”

Cornelia did not count on Cana personally speaking anymore, so she spoke Canaʼs identity to Gildarts in Canaʼs place.

”Rest assured! I will definitely take responsibility.”

After hearing Corneliaʼs words, Gildartsʼs eyes revealed a serious color. Protecting his daughter was a responsibility an adult should have.

”No! Have none of you asked for my thoughts?”

”I-I worked very hard. I already worked very hard...”

”I always thought that I could become someone worthy of being Gildartsʼs daughter!”

”I always thought that after I passed Fairy Tail Guildʼs S-Class Mage Promotion Trial, I would confess to Gildarts...”

Seeing that Gildarts immediately accepted his identity as a father and prepared to properly take responsibility just because of Corneliaʼs words, Canaʼs eyes suddenly became blurry, and her eyes gradually moistened.

If it was so simple to make Gildarts take responsibility, then wouldnʼt her efforts over so many years seem very stupid?

”Cana...”

Looking at Cana, Gildarts felt his heart ache. Clearly his daughter had always been right before him. Clearly he had a relative living in this world, but he had been unable to discover it. He truly had wronged Cana and Cornelia, this mother and daughter. He was also unworthy of being a father and a husband.

”But passing Fairy Tailʼs S-Class exam is really too difficult...”

”Wuwuwu...”

”But why? Why does this world have so many monsters every year, from who knows where, joining our Fairy Tail Guild and participating in the guildʼs S-Class Mage Promotion Trial?!”

”Donʼt you all think itʼs strange? This is way too strange, right?”

As Cana spoke, she cried painfully. She gripped the cards in her hand, her expression so powerless. Clearly, this deck of cards of hers had been upgraded who knew how many times, and the many different kinds of magic within it would give even some S-Class Mages from other guilds headaches, or even make them die with hatred. But against the monsters inside the guild, the effects were minimal.

Cana even felt that compared to becoming an S-Class Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild, becoming one of Ishgarʼs Ten Wizard Saints selected by the Magic Council would be a little easier.

”Cana, I understand you!”
