"That's why I didn't plan to join Fairy Tail." After everyone in the guild finished partying, Calvin deliberately met Makarov and told him the truth.
"Is that so... So we misunderstood. I'm really sorry, Calvin." Makarov put his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes, and said drunkenly. "Calvin, how long will you stay here?"
"Maybe I will stay for a few more days. At the very least, I need to earn enough travel expenses. Moreover, I also want to walk around Magnolia." Calvin thought about it carefully and replied.
"Maybe I will stay for a few more days... Hmm..." After seeing Calvin nodding, Makarov turned around and slowly left. "No one has been able to endure loneliness all the time. That's why we built a guild to look for companions. Calvin, think about it carefully these few days."
Hearing Makarov's words, Calvin looked a little sad. Fairy Tail's joy just now had indeed made him very happy.
"Calvin, are you going to leave?" At this time, Cana came out of nowhere and pulled Calvin's sleeve. Although it was only a short journey, Calvin was indeed the person who made her feel warm when she needed to care the most. Cana was extremely unwilling to let him leave.
"It won't be leaving soon. Speaking of which, where do you want to live? You don't have any place to stay, right?" Touching Cana's hair, Calvin smiled and said to her. Then, she thought Cana didn't even have the money to take the magic train. Where would she sleep at night? The guild was indeed an organization of sorcerers, but it was not a place to provide accommodation. Everyone in the guild had their own lives.
"This, I don't know either..." When Cana heard this, her little head tilted. She had never thought about this problem at all.
"This is bad. It seems that Gildarts won't come back so soon. What should Cana do? Should I go and ask Makarov?" Just as Calvin was troubled, Makarov appeared out of nowhere.
"By the way, Calvin, you don't have a place to stay, right? There is a place where the church and orphanage are merged in the east of the town. You don't have to spend your time there. I have already explained the misunderstanding about you in the guild. Let's go say goodbye before we leave." After saying that, Makarov took the wine glass and staggered away.
"Thank you, Your Highness Makarov." Calvin thanked him sincerely. This not only saved him a lot of money, but he also found someone to take care of Cana.
"Before Gildarts returns, Cana, you and I will go to the orphanage to stay first. We will be there now." Calvin took Cana's hand and walked to the east.
The head of the church was a priest who looked a little stupid. Although he looked ordinary, the other party had a kind heart and agreed to Calvin's request without hesitation.
Cana went to Fairy Tail to wait for his father for several days. She would go back to the church in the evening. Calvin was wandering around. He would perform a circus to make money when there were many people. He would also go back to the church in the evening.
In a wine shop of Magnolia, two shabby sorcerers were discussing something.
"Jack, are we really going to attack the orphanage?" One of the fatter guys asked a gloomy-looking person.
"Idiot, this is an opportunity to earn money. As long as we kidnap those children and sell them to that organization, we will get a sum of money. You don't want us to continue being so poor, do you?" The man called Jack said to the other gloomily.
"But they are a famous guild here. Fairy Tail's reputation is not small. Will not there be a problem?"
"We didn't attack Fairy Tail. We just went to kidnap the children of the church. I have investigated. There is only one priest in the church. There is no magic power at all. Nothing will happen to us as long as we move fast!" Jack continued. "They will have dinner in the evening. At that time, all the children will be gathered together. After I knock down the priest with magic first, Peter, tie the children with binding magic immediately, and then we will run away immediately."
-
In the evening, Calvin went to Fairy Tail to pick up Cana and bring him back to the church. Although the other guild members knew Calvin did not want to join, they treated him warmly.
"Cana, I will leave tomorrow." Calvin suddenly said to Cana as they walked.
"Are you leaving?" Cana said in a low voice. Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still reluctant to part with him.
"Well, I have to thank the priest later. And then thank Fairy Tail and everyone else. Remember to tell him when Gildarts comes back next time! He doesn't look like a bad person. Maybe he didn't realize that he had a daughter at all." Calvin tried his best to speak lightly, but Cana was still disappointed.
Behind them, Makarov quietly watched the two people go away and muttered to himself. "Is Calvin leaving tomorrow? Well... I'll prepare a farewell party."
At dinner, Cana behaved very quietly. He was no longer as lively as usual. Calvin also did not know how to comfort him. He could only quietly eat his lunch.
"Calvin, are you leaving tomorrow?" At this time, the priest came over and said to Calvin. Although Calvin had not told him, he could guess what happened when he saw the atmosphere between the two people who were usually the closest.
"Well. Thank you for taking care of me these days." Calvin bowed and thanked him. The old man's love reminded him of the time when Pierce picked him up.
"No, this is an orphanage, taking care of children is our jo... AHHHHHHH!" The priest helped Calvin up and suddenly screamed. Calvin saw a pool of blood splash.
"Father!!" "Argh"
While the priest was injured, a fat man shot out a string of blue rope from his hand, quickly binding all the children.
Only Calvin avoided the rope at the last moment. He saw a thin man standing beside the priest, his hand flashing with a dangerous light.
"It's a sorcerer!" Calvin only needed one look to know the seriousness of the problem.
"Peter! There is still a fish that escaped the net. How bad can you be at this!?" The thin man looked at Calvin's vigilant posture and gaze and did not care. Instead, he shouted at the other slightly plump man.
"It was just a slip of the hand. I can't let go of my rope after it is tied. Jack, you go and catch him." Peter shot out several light ropes with both hands, but they still did not have the strength to catch Calvin.
"Kid, I advise you not to resist, or you will be injured!" Jack smacked his lips in dissatisfaction and said to Calvin fiercely.
"It's a real sorcerer. Oh no, can I really win?" He murmured as he shook his head to escape his lack of confidence. Now was not a matter of whether he could win or not, but a situation where he had to win.
He took out his only magic beast card, poured magic into it, and the card glowed, ready to summon the creature, and Bang!
A magic bullet hit Calvin, interrupting his summon.
"This kid knows magic too. Although I don't know what kind of magic it is, I won't let you use it!" Jack smiled evilly, and his hands kept shooting out fist-sized magic bullets.
These magic bullets were not powerful, but they were fast enough. Calvin had no time to summon while hit by them. After taking a few magic bullets, his body was injured, and he could no longer avoid them.
"Ga... ga... ga..." Not long later, Calvin was already lying on the ground, covered in blood. He was gasping for breath. He could not even stand up or fight back with the magical monster in the summoning card.
"Can't I? I'm not their match at all... Damn it, at least I can summon it..." Calvin was seriously injured. After being hit by many magic bullets, it was already impressive that he could maintain his consciousness.
"What a difficult little brat. He knows how to dodge. He wasted a lot of my time." Jack, who had been throwing out the magic bomb, was already breathless. He and Peter were just low-level sorcerers; otherwise they would not have fallen to the point of abducting children.
Just as he was about to grab Calvin, a chill came behind him. He quickly turned around and saw that Peter had been knocked unconscious at some point. A large group of murderous sorcerers was staring at him fiercely. The person in the lead was an old man with a short stature. It was Makarov.
The Fairy Tail Guild, all of them joined in.
"You, what do you want to do to my child!" As he spoke calmly, a terrifying magic power surged.
"Ma -- Makarov"
"You dare to hurt our family; you must be ready to accept our punishment!" Makarov walked towards Jack. Jack took a step back with every step, his was face full of panic.
"Your Highness Makarov, please wait a moment." At this time, Calvin struggled to stand up and said to Makarov. "This bastard, I will personally beat him up."
"Calvin, I understand your feelings, but your current state is already bad." Seeing Calvin stand up, Makarov breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression eased.
"Don't worry; I can still use magic." After completely standing up, Calvin grabbed a card with magic power.
"Tear the enemy apart for me, silver wolf under the moon!"
The card shone with light, and a giant wolf as big as a cow with silver fur appeared before him.
"You are Jack, right? I am going to start beating you up!"
