25. Taking care of the Curse

On hearing my answer, she was stunned and gave me a motherly smile "You are a kind child".

I didn't respond to that and we just kept talking for a few more minutes when I asked.

"What do you plan to do after getting discharged? Cana told me that her father is also a fairy tail mage. If you don't mind, may I know who it is?" I questioned because I am not supposed to know that as Cana never told me his name.

"I don't mind, it's Gildarts Clive." She answered

"Oh, him. I have heard a lot about him. He is our guild's ace but I haven't met him yet as I joined the guild not long ago" I pretended to be a little surprised.

" Hey, Aunt. Why don't you and Cana join the guild."

I asked what I really wanted as she is a very nice lady and I want her to have a good life.

"Guild... huh? But I can't use magic and same with Cana" she answered hesitatingly.

"No need to worry about that. There are also other jobs in a guild which don't require the use of magic and I can also introduce you to my family. You can also stay in our house. As for Cana, since she's Gildarts' daughter, she must have incredible potential and it would be better for her to join. "

I could feel that she only needed a last push so I took out my secret weapon "Pretty please, it would mean a lot to me" and gave her puppy dog eyes which were super effective with my extremely cute face.

"Sigh, fine, you win. We will join the guild" She finally relented and just gave me a kind smile while pinching my cheeks.

After some time, Cana also woke up and after telling her about the decision to join the guild, she was over the moon as she not only gets to play with me everyday but she can also finally meet her dad.

I took out food from my space ring for dinner and served it to both the mother-daughter pair. On smelling the food, Luna also came out of my pocket which shocked both of them.

After I saw Cana in the alleyway, she hid inside my pocket to surprise her but after a few moments, she forgot about that and fell asleep. I gave her milk and introduced all of them.

After dinner, I bid them goodnight and left the room after reminding them to meet up with me at the hospital entrance in the morning.

Since I didn't book an inn for today, I decided to stay at the hospital guest house and the staff were more than happy to provide me with the best room.

(Next day)

It is 9 am in the morning and I am going towards the town's gate with Cana, aunt and Nike, the head doctor who decided to escort us there

After we reached the gates, I put my hand against the wall connected to the gate and applied a little pressure. The wall started cracking and soon there was a first sized hole in it.

I put my hand inside it and when I took it out, there was an ancient bell🔔 in my hand oozing with dark energy. I quickly covered it in my light magic and stored it in my ring.

"That was the source of the curse inflicted on the town" I told the 3 clueless people with me.

After that, I turned towards the town and bent down and put my hands on the ground and released my magic all over the town which took about 70% of my reserves but it was necessary.

"I have purified the dark energy inflicting the town and without the source, there won't be any more cases like before. " I said to Nike and continued with a smile "Your town and all of its people are safe now"
