13 Conversations and tears

Ultear did not know how to respond to Ryu's statement. She thought that he would ask for something different from what he proposed.

Ultear -a what do you mean that I join your guild-

Ryu -well to be more exact, I still do not have an official guild, but I hope to create one soon, and I would like you to be the first to join some of my-

Ultear - you're saying that you do not have a guild, but you still want it to be part of this-

Ryu - if so -

Ultear -you are really asking for it-

Ryu -si-

Ultear - ... and because you want me to be a member-

Ryu did not know how to respond to this question. He had planned several ways to ask her once they met, but he never expected that when they met she would faint. This changed the plans I had.

Ryu -well, I can say that you have great magical power-

Ultear frowned after listening to Ryu, he resented what he had said, he believed that he simply saw her as a tool like the members of the magical research office.

Ryu-ah, do not get me wrong, it's not just your strength, as I explain it to you-

Ryu remained thoughtful while Ultear continued to watch him intently.

Ryu - well you can say it's an instinct, I think I can help you and you to me-

Ultear -help me, that makes you think I need help if we've just met-

Ryu - well I can deduce that you escaped from that tower after observing the situation for a while. I think it would be the safest thing for you to have someone accompany you now that you are alone, I think it will be easier for you to live, besides ... -

Ultear - besides what-

Ryu - (I think this is my opportunity) -

Ryu -I think you remind me of someone-

Ultear -who I remember someone? -

Ryu-yes, now that I think about it, you have not told me your name-

Ultear - ... my name is Ultear-

Ryu -Ultear, you have no surname-

Ultear - ... Milkovich, my full name is Ultear Milkovich-

Ultear expressed sadness and anger when he pronounced his surname. Ryu knew why this was due, and this was his chance to fix Ultear's situation, he did not want Ultear to sink into hatred and revenge.

Ryu - ... Milkovich ... now I know who you remind me of, are you a relative of Ur Milkovich? -

Ultear-! -

Ultear reacted to the name of his mother, his face expressed anger, he clenched his fists very hard, in the corner of his eyes you could see some small tears.

Ryu - are you related to her? -

Ultear - ... yes, I'm his daughter-

Ryu -his daughter. Or that is a surprise. And because you're not with her-

Ultear - she abandoned me !!! And you know that you know that woman !!! -

Ryu was surprised by the expression of hatred that Ultear showed for his mother, although he knew the situation of the mother and daughter, I am still surprised by the hatred that came to have Ultear for his mother.

Ryu -well, your mother is a famous magician and I saw her once that's why I know some things about her, if I knew she had a daughter, but they told me that she had died-

Ultear - what are you saying, do not lie to me !! -

Ultear stood up still with his fists clenched and tears about to fall from his eyes.

Ryu - I was told that I had a daughter who was sick. They told me that Ur took his daughter to some doctors where he stayed for a long time and when he returned in his search the doctors told him that his daughter had died-

Ultear - ... .-

It seemed that Ultear had been paralyzed by what Ryu had said. A part of her did not want to believe him, but another part if she wanted to be heard was real. Ryu knew that his words had achieved what he wanted, now only needed to convince Ultear of the truth.

Ryu - I never thought that you would be his daughter, if so, that means that the doctors were members of the magical research office, it's not like that-

Ultear - ... si-

Ryu -then that means that your mother was deceived, but why, could you explain what happened in that tower-

Ultear was still upset by the conversation, after listening to Ryu, she proceeded to tell him what had happened during her stay in the magical research office. She told him how there were several tests that put him to the limit of his strength, when he resisted as he was punished by torturing her, sometimes he had spent days without eating, he had had to suffer the inhuman experiments carried out by the members of the research office magical Despite knowing most of the story, Ryu was still enraged by the terrible treatment they gave Ultear in that tower.

Ryu - unhappy wretches, you're lucky they're not alive anymore, or I would have given them a hell compared to how you ended up with them !!! -

Ultear saw how Ryu got up and was angry about what he told her, seeing how someone got angry at how they treated her, could not contain the tears anymore and she started crying.

Ultear-that ... hic ... means ... hic ... that my mother did not abandon me ...

Ryu seeing little Ultear crying could not hold on and hugged her and stroked her head.

Ryu-si, surely they deceived you and your mother, to carry out their plans-

Ultear -hic hic ahhhhhhh mama hic-

Ultear could not take it anymore and began to cry more, she also hugged Ryu and buried her head in his chest. He continued crying for several minutes until he calmed down. After Ryu wiped the tears from Ryu's face, they sat down again and ate again.

Ryu - then what do you want to do from now on-

Ultear - ... I want to see my mother-

Ryu knew sigh at the wish of Ultear, the sage of Ur's fate, but he was not sure if this had already happened or not yet, the anime did not give much information of the moment in which Ur confronts the devil and dies to finish with this. Ryu only knew that both Gray and Lyon had been training with Ur for some time.

Ryu - (well I think I can do this) -

Ryu - what do you think of this? I have planned to return to Fiore, and you will accompany me, along the way we will go through where your mother lives, what do you think-

Ultear looked up and saw the smile on Ryu's face, after hearing him and seeing his smile. Ultear blushed this unnoticed step of Ryu since Ultear looked away quickly.

Ultear -If I am not a nuisance to you then I would like to accompany you-

Ryu - very well, then so be it, for now you will be a temporary member of my guild-

Ultear - ... if they're fine with that then agree-

This time it was Ultear who looked directly at Ryu with a smile and it was also this time that Ryu blushed a bit, worse like Ultear, Ryu quickly looked away.

Ryu - well first of all, let's finish eating and then go to sleep, which tomorrow we will start to Fiore-

Ryu and Ultear finished dinner and continued talking for an hour. They talked mostly about Ryu, since he did not want Ultear to remember his past in the tower again. He told him about how he was treated in the Fairy Tail guild, that he had trained for a long time and was now very strong. Ryu did not specify when that happened. Ryu had performed the ritual to change the breed a few years ago, and now he looked like an 18-year-old, but in reality he was older, he did not want to continue lying to Ultear but did not want to tell him that he has a long life expectancy , and that its appearance would not change at least in a few hundred years. Although he had planned to tell this to the members of his guild and also to provide them with a method of not getting old, it was not the time yet. They continued talking for a while longer until they decided to go to sleep.

At first everyone would sleep in their own bedspread, but Ultear asked if they could sleep together in the same quilt. Ryu wanted to reject her, but seeing the anxious eyes of Ultear just accepted. Ultear slept at his side, and in the middle of the night Ryu felt how she embraced him and supported his body on him. In the end Ryu could not sleep all night.

The next morning, the two got up and had breakfast, after preparing their luggage they began their trip to Fiore. During the journey Ryu and Ultear continued to know each other better. Ryu already knew Ultear from the anime, but this one was different than the current Ultear, he could see how Ultear could have been if he had not sunk in hatred and revenge. He liked Ultear much more. Ultear, on the other hand, became increasingly interested in Ryu. He had not had much contact with anyone other than the investigators of the magical research office, who only saw it as an object of experimentation.

Despite his reluctance, Ryu allowed Ultear to continue sleeping in the same bed as him. This at first meant that Ryu did not sleep and during the mornings he was always tired.

On the way Ryu explained how he could use his magic, he knew what Ultear's affinity was, but he did not have the books with this magic that they gave him in the dark guild of Ultear. He had to research a lot during his training years how magic worked. Despite not being able to use it, I came to learn from its operation. With this knowledge I try to teach Ultear the magic of Time.

I could have seen it through Ryu's teachings or Ultear's talent, but I just understood how the magic of time worked and could use it. With the help of Ryu, Ultear was able to create and perfect several magics.

The days passed and they had reached a snowy region, they were near where Ur lives.

Ultear - we will arrive soon Ryu-san-

Ryu - yes, we will surely arrive tomorrow-

Ryu was worried about how Ultear would react in the event that his mother has already confronted the devil and died. During his trip, Ryu was collecting information, he knew that the demon Ur faced had already attacked several towns. Ryu hoped that he had not yet reached the town of Ur, and that he could avoid his death.

Ultear - ... once we get there you'll do Ryu-san-

Ryu -well I'm not sure, first we'll have to get there-

Ultear -I would like you ... to stay in the town next to me and my mother-

Ultear said the last thing in a low voice, his face a little flushed.

Ryu - what did you say? -

Ultear -None !!! If we better get there first and then we'll see what we do-

Ryu saw how Ultear is happy, this increased Ryu's worries, he hoped Ur was not dead yet.
