----------
Because of Noah's jokes, the guild's atmosphere softened, and everyone quickly returned to the lively mood they had before Cana revealed her identity.
After all, now that Cana's background had been revealed, everyone could help her, although they didn't know how yet, because even Makarov didn't know Gildarts's current whereabouts.
But this didn't dampen their enthusiasm for the banquet.
Only Laxus, who was inexplicably used by Noah for comparison, wasn't very happy...
Laxus's situation was still somewhat different from Cana's.
As Makarov's grandson, he did feel pressure because of his grandfather's exalted status and prestige, but Laxus had never fallen into self-doubt like Cana because of it.
Because he was born with his grandfather's powerful magic.
Laxus had no doubt that his future self would surpass Makarov.
However, his identity as Makarov's grandson caused Laxus to always be viewed with prejudice by others, unable to get a true evaluation from his companions, which greatly troubled him as a child.
The reason Laxus became rebellious was due to one person and one event: many years ago, his father, Ivan, was personally expelled from Fairy Tail by his grandfather, Makarov, for doing something that harmed the guild.
After this incident, the usually obedient Laxus suddenly realized that he didn't actually know what kind of person his true self was, just as he didn't know that his loving father would do something to harm the guild.
This was a serious problem. What if he was the same kind of person as his father, who had been expelled from the guild?
But the prejudice of those around him prevented Laxus from getting a true image of himself in their eyes.
Under immense psychological pressure, Laxus didn't make the choice to retreat like Cana; instead of internal conflict, externalizing conflict onto others was the best option.
So Laxus's personality changed drastically; Makarov's obedient grandson gradually transformed into the arrogant and rebellious youth he was now.
It was all Ivan's fault.
So, it was time to go beat up that rebellious father!
Laxus stood up and walked straight to Noah, who was chatting and laughing with Erza, looking at him seriously. "Noah, let me see that bastard father."
"Huh? Oh."
Laxus's aura almost made Noah think he was coming to pick a fight because he couldn't swallow being teased earlier.
So it was for Ivan.
Judging by his stance, he must want to show Ivan some twisted "filial piety," so what reason did he have to refuse?
Noah didn't say anything, just told Laxus to find Pantherlily himself. Since he had already shown Makarov the way, the big black cat probably wouldn't mind showing Laxus the way again.
Laxus came quickly and left just as quickly.
Noah watched his disappearing back and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Pantherlily was truly lucky; he had not only witnessed the "fatherly love and son's roar" of Makarov and Ivan, but would also witness the "father's death and son's filial piety" of Ivan and Laxus.
Such a good show was a rare sight. If I hadn't seen Faust beat up Ivan so many times when I was a child, I might have even followed along to watch the excitement.
After Laxus left, Mystogan approached again. "Noah, things here are almost done. When are we returning to Earth Land?"
Erza, who was beside him, also turned her head to look at Noah. They had been in Edolas for more than twenty days, and it was indeed time to return to Earth Land.
Noah raised an eyebrow, nodded, and said, "It's been almost a month. The guild must have accumulated many requests that need to be completed. It's time for everyone to go back."
"Then let's set the time for the day after tomorrow."
After Erza went to discuss with Makarov, she informed everyone of the news of returning to Earth Land the day after tomorrow, which made both Fairy Tail guilds a little reluctant to part.
However, reluctance aside, they were people from two different worlds. Since they were going to part ways, they had to have a good time on the last day.
Mira, hearing that she was going home, paused her guest appearance as a hostess and sat next to Noah. "I say, Noah, Mystogan is one thing—he's lived in Earth Land longer than in Edolas—but why aren't you staying longer to accompany your King Faust?"
"Oh, ho ho, you're even calling him King Faust. I think you, Mira, want to be queen."
After teasing Mira, Noah continued, "Don't worry, my dad doesn't have time to feel lonely. With the resurgence of Magic Power and the unification of the land, he's busy to death."
Erza couldn't help but interject. "Then why don't you help King Faust share some of the government affairs?"
Noah smiled slyly. "With so many government affairs, even my elder brother, who went to help, was exhausted. Why would I be so foolish as to go help?"
"Of course, I'm making a quick escape."
What an unfilial son! x2
Erza and Mira silently complained about Noah in their hearts.
However, they really couldn't imagine Noah handling government affairs. If he became king, he would definitely be an indolent and incompetent ruler. Fortunately, there was still Mystogan... Wait!
Wasn't it Mystogan who first suggested returning to Earth Land just now?!
Good heavens, even a reliable person like Mystogan couldn't hold on and wanted to slip away. How many government affairs must there be?
That day, Noah took Erza and Mira back to the Royal Capital for two meals. Mira was right; as a son, Noah really should spend more time with his old father.
Faust didn't seem to care much about the news that his two sons were leaving again. The expansion of the kingdom rekindled his dormant ambition.
After all, he was only fifty years old, an age for striving.
However, Faust did give Erza and Mira many things, mostly clothes and jewelry, clearly acknowledging these two daughters-in-law.
Fortunately, Mystogan was not yet married. With his good elder brother taking the lead, the "great tribulation" of being urged to marry and have grandchildren wouldn't fall on Noah's head...
That night, in the Prince's Palace.
On the luxurious bed, Noah held Mira's soft and smooth waist with one hand, while sniffing the fragrance from Erza's body.
During the day, they called her Queen and Demon; at night, he listened to the Demon and Queen call out.
The exhaustion from their cultivation made the two girls fall into a deep sleep.
Since entering the "Magnetic Field Rotation" stage and truly activating his Magnetic Field Power, Noah's physical fitness had become incredibly strong, and his energy seemed inexhaustible.
Even powerful Mages like Erza and Mira couldn't withstand his torment, which made Noah a little worried.
After all, his Magnetic Field Power had only just begun, and it would only get stronger, while Erza and the others' bodies couldn't compare to Noah's, which had been strengthened by Magnetic Field Power.
But fortunately, there would be opportunities to make them stronger in the future.
Gently covering Erza and Mira with the blanket, Noah silently came to the living room sofa and sat down. Pure white magical light constructed a "Wish Book" in his hand.
Noah turned to the latest recorded page.
