Chapter 58 - Chapter 60

Dragon rushed into the kitchen and started taking out milk, eggs and everything else he needed. He was up in arms about making food for his son. So he would easily offer his soul to the devil if it meant making this the best breakfast ever.

Gildarts came walking in with Narberal behind him. She was always near him so she had been standing outside his door. And when Dragon came rushing out from the room and Gildarts not far behind, she also followed them.

"Dad, you can calm down. We have all the time in the world." Gildarts gave the kitchen a once over and noted that this one kitchen was almost bigger then his moms entire apartment.

"Nabe, how long did it take for dad to build this?" Gildarts turned his head around and asked the always loyal maid Narberal.

"Lord Dragon didn't build this. While he was away in another world. lady Alora build this for when he would return." Nabe said while standing with her hands overlapping each other at her waist.

"A dragon built this castle? How did she manage that? It seems impossible for someone with that type of body to make this." Gildarts said in disbelief.

"Alora controls many elements. She can bend and break them all. It took a few years but building this is not impossible when you have the magic she has." Dragon answered with his back turned against them and blending the ingredients.

"Which elements does she control?" Gildarts asked with curiosity.

"Fire, Earth, Water and Air. But because she is able to evolve like all creatures here, there is a chance that in a hundred years she could control ten elements instead of four."

Dragon had investigated the evolution part of the creatures here. But it was impossible to know what they would become in the future without the system's help. He didn't care enough about it to investigate further.

"That's awesome! What kind of magic do you use?" Dragons magic use wasn't recorded anywhere, and only a few people in the world knew what magic he used.

"When I'm here i usually stick with wind magic. I used wind magic when i was with Mavis and the other founders in Fairy tail." Gildarts mind immediately started spiraling into a vortex of amazement and doubt.

He doubted that this was real life, still. The fact that this man making him pancakes was one of the people that helped create Fairy Tail. The though really sent him spiraling.

"Wait... When you're here? Are you saying you have access to more than one magic?" Gildarts asked with another round of disbelief in his voice.

"How do you think I made this island into what it is? It should be obvious that I have more than one magic." Dragon said and showed a teasing smile.

"I guess you're right about that."

"Nabe, so what magic do you use?" Gildarts turned his gaze to the woman standing behind him.

"Young master, I use mainly lighting magic, but I can go invisible and also teleport." She said proudly and puffed up her chest.

"Wow, Nabe, you can teleport, that's awesome!" Gildarts said with an excited expression.

"Thank you, Young Master." Nabe said and her cheeks got a little red from Gildarts comment. She looked happy, and was clearly enjoying the attention she was getting.

"I can teleport too." Dragon said and sulked while flipping the last pancake. He took them all and placed them on the table in front of Gildarts. The boy's eyes lit up in hunger and his stomach growled from the smell.

"Nabe, please join us." Dragon gestured for her to sit down beside Gildarts. Narberal started to panic right away and waved her hands in front of her quickly.

"No, no, I could never... Lord Dragon." She refused to move even when Dragon insisted.

"Stop arguing with me, you're family too. Come and sit down." Dragon used a little harsher tone this time and she looked very uncomfortable.

"Nabe, please sit down. If you don't sit down to eat I won't either, and I'll choose to starve to death." Gildarts put down the fork and put on his cutest pout.

"Okay! I'll eat! Young Master, you can't use that against me again." Nabe said and sat down with hesitation.

Dragon had to command her to start eating one more time before she picked up her fork. Nabe did not feel comfortable here at the table. She wanted nothing more then to serve them and especially Gildarts. Them making the food and serving it while she ate made her very uncomfortable.

The only saving grace was Gildarts. The smile he got when she sat down made her happy enough. And strong enough to endure this event.

"So, how was the food, Gildarts?" Dragon said with a little bit of a cheeky smile on his face. He knew they were good and he was in fact quite proud of them.

"It's good! Very good!" Gildarts said and rubbed his belly in satisfaction. Nabe also nodded and immediately stood up and took care of the dishes.

"But... Mom's is better.." Gildarts suddenly played his loyalty card and showed where his true parental loyalty lied.

'nononononono' Dragon got an expression of utter despair on his face. He mentally broke down and he could feel his legs getting shaky.

'I am the backup parent! I refuse not to be the favorite parent.' Deep inside the eyes of Dragon, a fire had now been properly lit. It was the flame of determination and competition.

'Bring it, Sylvia!! In the end i will be the number one parent!' Dragon immediately started scheming inside his mind on how to win. He had lost the battle, but he would at the end of the day, win the war.

"What are you thinking about, dad?" Gildarts said while looking at Dragon who was completely lost inside his own mind.

"eh, i was just thinking that we should go fetch your mother soon. If we're going to travel, we can't leave her. How about you go get ready and then we'll leave for your mothers cafe in a bit." Dragon said and smiled.

"Okay!" Gildarts who didn't know about the one-sided secret war just ran off to his room to get ready.

"Young master, let me help you get dressed!" Nabe yelled while and chased after Gildarts.
