Chapter 32: 2 months later!

*Earthland, Ishgar, Fiore*

*April, 16 Year 772*

*Morning*

Caw~ Caw~

Gildarts froze in place so naturally, that birds mistook him for a stone and rested on him.

He then mechanically turned his head towards me begging for help, but I pretended I didn't notice and looked at the sky.

The sky be looking damn good today, right?

Feeling betrayed Gildarts looked at Cana, "Listen to my explanation Cana-"

But a cold voice interrupted him.

"I think you should get going Dad, the train is about to leave."

"But-" "Hmph!" Gildarts has no choice but to board the train and leave in grief.

Looking at the leaving train and then at Cana beside me, I couldn't help but shake my head. I then reached out and held her hand.

Feeling the touch she looked at me.

"Let's go eat lunch at boar's hat."

"Um." She nodded.

With tacit understanding, we didn't mention the event earlier.

We then reached boar's hat and ordered two pork tonkatsu, when a voice sounded beside us.

"Ahem, master where's my share?"

Instantly the solemn atmosphere was broken by a certain old man.

"Go get your own share!"I said with a popping vein as I threw 10,000 Jewels to Sebastian.

"Pfft! Hahaha"

Looking at Cana laughing, I smiled and joined her in laughing making the atmosphere around us lighten up.

As we were laughing Cana suddenly said.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for taking me to meet Gildarts." She said with a small smile.

"No problem, we're family anyways what's a little help?"

A waitress then came to our table and served our food.

We then started to dig in on our food, and an inaudible voice sounded.

"I would also like to be a family with you, a real family."

I lift my head and asked," Did you say something?"

Cana shook her head, "No you must be hearing something, go and continue to eat."

I nodded without feeling anything weird, " One extra rice please."

After we were done eating we headed our separate ways home.

As we headed toward the apartment I saw that Sebastian has a weird smile on his face.

"Hey! Why are you smiling so creepily? If others don't know that you are a butler, I guess they'll suspect you for being a child trafficker."

"Nothing I just think that the master is so lucky."

"Why do you say so?"

"No particular reason, I just think that the master is lucky."

"I don't understand but okay."

After returning to my apartment, we then entered the space and continued researching puppets.

2 Months later~

*EarthLand, Ishgar, Fiore*

*June 16, Year 772*

* Evening*

Inside the Mage's Sanctuary, a child about five to six years old can be seen tinkering with a bear-like figure, with a butler sitting beside him watching with interest.

"Okay, that should be it! If you don't work as I intended this time then I'm scrapping the hell out of you."

I reached for the lamp at the side of the table and took the soul of the young bear out of it and then put it inside the puppet.

The bear puppet then lit up with a bright yellow light on its skin with mysterious patterns glowing in black. Its eyes then lit up with a deep red glow with fierceness flashing all over.

Roar!

A fierce roar resounded throughout the space making the bear's presence known to all creatures inside it. The rabbit and chicken hid in their house trembling refusing to come out as they were terrified.

"Good! Good! Good! Good things must be repeated three times, Heck I finally succeeded! HAHAHA"

Looking at this bad boy, I can safely say that taking on D-rank quests can never be easier from now on.

The world of riches waits for me, John Osborne, to claim you for myself.

Cough~

I only then remembered that I was not the only person inside the space, I turned my to Sebastian and saw him holding a video lacrima.

"Ahem, would you like to tone down a bit master?" He asked with a teasing smile.

"Hey give me that video lacrima or else." I threatened.

"Or else what?" He laughed, "What are you gonna do master?"

Popping a vein I ordered my new puppet and wolf totems to chase this man all over the space.
