A few days later, Kurama was walking towards the Guild [Fairy Tail] together with Tohru and Kanna, who were holding hands with the two adults.
"It's good to see that she's happy with her new life" - said Kurama while stroking the white hair of the little girl, who quickly smiled happily - "She's like a little cat."
"I know, Kanna has always been a loving child, it's just that she hasn't had the best of the lives" - replied Tohru with a frown because it wasn't the first time she wished to return to the [Dragon World] and give Kanna's carefree parents a beating, more when you had to know that dragon offspring were extremely rare thanks to the low birth rate of their race.
"I can see it, it's only been a few days, and I already feel like she's my daughter" - Kurama said as he took the little girl and put her on his shoulders.
Kanna was happy because this was one of the things she always wished to do with her father, but never had the chance.
Kurama smiled as he watched as they walked into their new place of work and entertainment, only to notice how everyone was completely silent, not how they normally appeared. - "What's going on?"
"Why aren't those two idiots acting as usual?" - Tohru asked in surprise as she watched as Natsu and Gray were shaking in a fetal position - "On second thought, I think it's better this way because at least I don't have to worry about one of them crashing into my food."
"I think the same thing, it's annoying to have to pay for more kegs of beer, just because those two idiots fight and destroy the one I'm drinking" - Kana said with a frown - "By the way, another one, Mira-chan ~"
"You should control yourself a little, there are children around" - said Tohru with a frown as she watched Kanna was devouring the food Kurama had summoned.
"Delicious" - Kanna said with a smile.
Mirajane watched this curiously and asked Kurama's permission to try some of Kanna's food.
Kurama nodded calmly as he watched the girl's eyes widen in surprise because she never thought of eating something so delicious.
"How did you achieve that taste?" - Mirajane asked excitedly as she took the white-haired man's hands.
"I just remember" - replied Kurama calmly as he shook his head - "What I can materialize, is everything I have seen, or have detailed knowledge of, in this case, I have consumed all these foods throughout my life, and by taste alone, I can duplicate it, though obviously not in all its splendor."
"I understand" - Mirajane said as she frowned, only to be surprised to see Kurama materialize a new dish, one she immediately recognized - "Ramen?"
"My family's specialty, a dish that has been passed down from generation to generation" - Kurama replied with a huge smile - "Let's just say that all the members of my clan, have this strange addiction ever since the first Uzumaki discovered this dish."
Mirajane was silent for a few seconds before nodding and giving it a taste, only to feel as if her world started to light up. She hadn't tasted anything as delicious as Ramen in front of her, it was as if the flavors were adapting to her palate, and it was releasing its favorite flavor.
"What did you think? My family has been perfecting it over time, and now it's at its peak" - Kurama said proudly.
"I don't know what to say, other than it was the best food I've ever tasted in my life" - replied Mirajane as she blushed from the sweet feeling that appeared in her stomach. It was as if she was a child experiencing her first love.
Kurama just smiled as he felt Kanna tug on his clothes - "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I'm going to learn the recipe too?" - Kanna asked as she looked at her "father" with fear because she didn't know how he would answer, but a smile appeared when she saw how he nodded - "Really?"
"Of course, you are my daughter" - said Kurama as he caressed the little girl's head - "It doesn't matter if we are not related by blood, that's the least of it, after all, parents are not the ones who sire, but the ones who raise, and I already decided that I would take care of you."
Kanna hugged Kurama are tears running down her cheeks as the others said a collective "Aw ~".
"Anyway, why are you guys so terrified?" - Kurama asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"Well, the truth is because one of our strongest members, is back, and she's not a friendly one to say the least" - replied Mirajane with a small smile - "She's a serious girl who likes rules to be followed, as well as respecting master's orders."
"And why are those two acting like they're about to die?" - Kurama asked while pointing at Gray and Natsu who were trembling.
"Well, those two cause the most damage during missions, and in their fights, that's why she's always around them to stop them from doing that kind of thing" - replied Mirajane as she started thinking - "And honestly it's not like I can blame her because when she's in the guild, the damage drops by 50%."
"That's knowing how to control the livestock" - said Kurama as he whistled in appreciation - "From what you say, she's a girl who's as strong as her character is, as well as someone who's responsible"
"Exactly, though that doesn't mean she's not pretty, after all, she is considered [Titania], the queen of the fairies" - said Mirajane with a small smile.
"Titania!" - exclaimed Lucy, who had decided to join the conversation because she was curious about the current situation - "Do you mean the strongest female Mage in [Fairy Tail]?"
"Yes, herself" - replied Mirajane as she looked at the girl - "Though just here between us, her beauty is below mine, and if I'm honest, Lucy could be considered much more beautiful than her at different points."
"Oh? Really?" - said a female voice as she entered the guild - "Please let me keep hearing about it."
Everyone watched in fright as a beautiful and seductive silhouette entered the place, revealing a beautiful girl with long red hair who was wearing a silver armor. She was covering one of her eyes with her beautiful shiny scarlet hair as she looked neutrally at the girl manning the counter.
"I thought we had made it clear that my beauty is not inferior to yours" - the girl snorted as she walked along dragging a huge ornate horn.
"Physically, it's possible, but your attitude isn't nice enough and that detracts points from you, Erza" - said Mirajane with a teasing smile.
"I don't need to be nice to everyone" - snorted the girl as she looked around with a frown - "What's wrong, why aren't you guys celebrating as usual?"
"Uh, today is a rest day" - said Macao with a forced smile.
"Right, we also need to calm down a bit, or we might be considered a bunch of misfits" - replied his friend Wakaba, who was a man with brown hair combed into a topknot.
Erza narrowed her eyes when she heard this as she looked around and started ordering some things to her guild mates, only to finish after a few seconds and look in the direction where Natsu and Gray were, who quickly hugged each other with a forced friendly smile - "I see you guys are still best friends, good to see."
"Of course, we are best friends!" - Natsu exclaimed with a forced smile as he felt his brow convulse with his lies.
"Natsu's right, we are the friendliest friends you could ever meet" - Gray added as he felt his tongue twist as he said something so redundant.
"Perfect, I'm proud of you guys" - smiled Erza as she gave her two friends firm pats.
"They lie" - Kanna said simply as she continued to eat without concern - "They've been fighting for the past two days, and they've made my father have to fix the guild."
"!" - Natsu and Gray's expression changed slightly because they didn't think things would change with just a few seconds.
"Oh? Were you two lying to me?"- Erza asked as her eyes glittered with evil - "Were you trying to play me for an idiot?"
"N-No! W-we're best friends, and best friends don't fight!" - Natsu exclaimed with a large amount of sweat running down his forehead.
"Exactly, we would never hurt each other for stupid reasons, like calling each other things like match head!" - Gray said with fake honesty.
"Who are you calling a match head, Arctic Striper!" - Natsu exclaimed angrily as he gave his "friend" an angry glare.
"Better be quiet, salmon head!" - Gray snarled, only to receive a firm punch to the face, which he quickly returned.
The two young men began to fight, not noticing how Erza's eyebrow was twitching with each passing second.
