Chapter 32

As he was about to stretch out his grabbing hands to the bar, Aidan was surprised to find Kana on his right hand, holding out a glass of wine to him.

- Cheer up, - the girl smiled and also turned to the list of tasks:

- I would have your abilities ... I barely learned how to use the magic of cards, but tasks still have to be chosen wisely, otherwise you never know. In addition...

Cana did not have time to finish, as the bell rang sharply through the guild, or rather, not only in the guild, but throughout Magnolia!

- Oh ... - Aidan remembered something and turned to the exit with interest. Cana suddenly became quiet and also looked at the guild doors. Sadness and even a little determination flashed in the girl's eyes, which quickly faded away as soon as everyone in the guild joyfully began shouting one name - Gildarts!

- Ha! Gildarts is back!

- Finally!

- Aha! He was gone for almost three months!

Erza educated Wendy and Natsu about the situation. These two newcomers have not yet met the famous Fairy Tail wizard.

They began to announce the Change of Gildarts across Magnolia, and the noise in the guild only grew. Just give these drunks a reason to have fun ...

Aidan finally decided to ask himself, turning to Kana:

- These bells, you don't ... - but when faced with the sad face of this sweet girl, he himself suddenly stopped smiling:

- What's the matter?

- Ah ... Well, - Cana smiled a forced smile and shook her head: - Just remembered something, I'm sorry. I need to get away, good luck Adie!

Looking after her, the guy just sighed. He may be the only one who knew the reason for this reaction.

As soon as the girl hurried away, Aidan rubbed his beard thoughtfully and chuckled.

- Adie? Sounds strange ... Yes ... Aid, Adie, what are they going to call me? Eh ... - with a slight laugh, the guy went down to the bar and found Makarov who had come from nowhere.

The old man glanced at the newcomer and only nodded:

- Gildarts is coming, please.

So, everyone began to wait for the arrival of the famous wizard!

The change of Gildarts was activated and the city, under the action of a mass of mechanisms, opened the way for the wizard. Aidan, of course, was no longer surprised, he remembered this Epic moment from his past well. In fact, here it is already clear that Gildarts could well have reached the guild without all these ways, but it seems that someone either decided to play a trick on him, or to express their gratitude in such a strange way.

Finally, the elder wizard reached the guild gate and there was silence. Just a moment ... Gildarts laughed and waved his hand.

- Home Sweet Home!

- Gildarts!

- Healthy, how's the job old man? - Gray smiled.

- Ha, where are your pants jerk?

Gray, as usual, was embarrassed and began looking everywhere for his clothes. Gildarts continued to greet familiar faces and marvel at the new ones.

Leaning over little Wendy, the man smiled kindly.

- Hello baby.

- W-hello ...

- What is your name?

- I ... Wendy.

Gildarts laughed and noticed Natsu next to him, while the boy cheered up and shouted:

- So you're Gildarts, huh ?! I'm Natsu! Let's brush it off ?!

- Oh, are you too small, chicken? - Clive laughed: - You should grow up!

- Oh you! - Natsu got angry and rushed at the magician, but as expected, he went flying. Aidan and Makarov only slightly tilted their heads, and then Natsu flew by, blowing the bar to pieces.

- What a loss ... - Aidan sighed: - We definitely need a normal bartender!

- Hey! Don't you dare destroy the Guild! - grumbled Makarov.

- Oh! Master! How are you? - Gildarts smiled as he approached the little old man. The size of the S rank wizard was clearly superior to everyone in the guild. A tall brutal man with light stubble, under two meters in height. Muscular and rather imposing. Even his clothes made him look like a seasoned warrior. A dark cloak with a high collar and steel shoulder pads with a belt. Even without using magic, he inspired respect.

- Oh, still a beginner, - finally said Aidana Gildarts: - It looks like this time even more than last! What is your name?

- Aidan.

Gildarts patted the boy on the shoulder and nodded.

- Move over guy, let uncle sit down and have a drink.

- Uncle? - Makarov laughed: - Some kind of polite today.

Aidan stepped back and returned to the quest board, the guild already slowly weathered Gildarts' arrival and back to their business. Only Cana was a little sad. Erza took Wendy somewhere, taking with her a disgruntled Natsu.

- What have you got there? - Makarov asked Gildarts.

Clive sighed and shook his head.

- Yes, as usual, I completed a couple of things and it's time to take on a new one. Maybe I'll find something worthwhile this time.

Aidan finally found a task for himself and nevertheless decided to leave the guild in search of new housing. Noticing the lonely Kana, the guy looked towards the laughing Gildarts and the laughing old man. Immediately, Aidan had a strong desire to interrupt it, but he quickly suppressed it when he looked at the girl again ... He knew that he had better not interfere, it was absolutely not his business. Therefore, he sat down next to him and decided to cheer Kana:

- Do you want to eat?

- Well ... - the girl sighed: - Why not.

- Let's go! Aidan grabbed her hand and dragged her out.

- Hey, where are we?

- Find me a place to live and celebrate!

- Hey, well ... Don't pull like that!

- Do you want to take you in his arms ?! - Aidan did not wait for an answer, he grabbed the girl and threw it over his shoulder.

- Not! Ay! Aidan! Let go! - Cana broke down and laughed, trying to break free from the guy's grip, but he never let go!

A few minutes later, in a small cafe, Aidan drank tea and looked at the concentrated Kana. The girl was reading the newspaper and frowning:

- Well, what is it? Aidan asked impatiently.

- Eh, - Cana threw the newspaper and began to eat the cake: - There is nothing there. The newspapers don't write that, why did you even decide to look there?

The guy shrugged.

- I thought it would be better to make announcements there, who knew that there was only all sorts of nonsense ...

- Oh, - already amused Cana smiled and nudged her friend with her elbow:

- You are lucky that I am near! I know where to look.

- You told me to figure it out myself, - the guy remarked with displeasure.

- Well, - Cana sent a spoonful of cake into her mouth and smiled:

- I suddenly changed my mind!

- Oh, women ...

- Oh, you don't like something?

Aidan sighed and shouted:

- Waiter!
