Internet Magic in Fairy Tail

“When did he find out? I can’t believe Gildarts turned the tables on me!”

Nate was at a loss, unsure whether to vent or keep it to himself.

Gone Finishing: “Haha, I won’t interfere in my daughter’s life.”

Gone Finishing: “So, what kind of trouble do you need my help with?”

Sigma Male: “I want to expand the internet to the Northern Continent. You’ve done a 100-year quest before, so you’re familiar with that area, right?”

Gone Finishing: “The 100-year quest... Ugh, I’d rather not think about it.”

Sigma Male: “I currently have a million rings. I’d like to ask you to make a trip.”

At this point, Nate was starting to doubt whether it was feasible.

Could Gildarts be relied on?

If it’s a fight, he’s definitely reliable.

Gone Finishing: “Fishing_King.jpg”

Gone Finishing: “As expected, this is a super fishing spot! 👍”

Gildarts sent a bragging photo. Nate opened it to see a massive fish over two meters long, held up by Gildarts—taller than he was. The fish looked like a block of ice, crystal-clear and translucent.

Sigma Male: “What kind of fish is that? Semi-transparent? It looks like it doesn’t even have internal organs? 🤨”

Gone Finishing: “It’s a Northern Icefish, only found in these parts. If the temperature exceeds 5°C, it’s fatal for them.”

Gone Finishing: “The meat of the icefish is incredibly tender—usually served as sashimi. The slices melt in your mouth with just the warmth of your tongue.”

Gone Finishing: “Wanna try? 🍺”

That sounded delicious—an outright show-off! Nate turned his head to see Brandish already drooling.

Sigma Male: “Happy must hate you, huh?”

Gone Finishing: “I’ll be back in a couple of days. As for your issue, I’ll help you with it.”

Sigma Male: “Bring the fish back!”

Gone Finishing: “👌”

Ending the chat with his second father-in-law, Nate immediately clicked on Cana’s profile picture.

Sigma Male: “When did your dad find out about us?”

After about half a minute, Cana replied:

Drink with Me: “He’s always known.”

Drink with Me: “You’d better treat me well in the future. If you bully me, I’ll tell Gildarts. 😏”

What did “always known” mean? Nate was confused. It sounded like Gildarts had known from the very beginning.

Sigma Male: “You know about Future Lucy, right? ☺️”

Drink with Me: “What about Future Lucy?”

Sigma Male: “I used a regeneration potion to restore her severed arm.”@@novelbin@@

Drink with Me: “!!!”

Sigma Male: “Poor Gildarts. He challenged Acnologia and ended up missing an arm and a leg.”

Drink with Me: “Daddy! I was just joking earlier. Forgive me, please! 🙇‍♀️”

Drink with Me: “Go ahead, spank your daughter for her insolence~~”

Typical Cana—flexible and resilient. Nate thought to himself that if Gildarts ever saw his chat with Cana, he would be done for.

Sigma Male: “I’ll need some materials to make more regeneration potions. We’ll talk when Gildarts gets back.”

Drink with Me: “How can I repay you, Daddy?”

Drink with Me: “Want to go on a date tonight? 😳”

Drink with Me: “I bought a catgirl outfit~”

A catgirl? Nate’s heart skipped a beat. Even Erza, the cosplay queen, didn’t have that outfit.

Sigma Male: “See you at the usual spot tonight!”

Drink with Me: “Mhm~”

The conversation ended. Nate closed the magic web and turned to see Brandish staring at him, wide-eyed. Nate sighed inwardly. This girl really had no shame about spying on other people’s chats.

“Wipe your drool…”

“Oh.”

Brandish wiped her mouth, still muttering to herself about the delicious Northern Icefish.

“Your Majesty, is Cana one of your consorts?”

“How do you know she’s Cana?”

“Gildarts’ daughter, Cana Alberona. Before coming here, I reviewed all the Fairy Tail records.”

“It’s not just her—Erza, Mirajane, Ultear, Juvia, Lucy—they’re all my consorts,” Nate admitted openly.

What’s wrong with an emperor having a few queens? Brandish silently grumbled to herself. No wonder His Majesty didn’t want to stay in the Alvarez Empire. Fairy Tail is basically his harem.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere.”

Nate snapped his fingers, and in the next moment, the two of them disappeared from the room.

…

“Game World,” [Dragon Hunter].

Fiore Kingdom, southern area of the royal capital, open-pit coal mine. A massive black sphere covered half of the mining site, hovering over it. Above the sphere was a row of three-dimensional text:

[BOSS: Coal Dragon]

[Difficulty: ★★★★]

After some time, this Coal Dragon's difficulty had increased from one-and-a-half stars to four stars. In broad daylight, no one dared to challenge it. The dragon lay within the black sphere, sleeping peacefully.

“What is this place?”

Brandish noticed the black sphere—a clear seal imprisoning a dragon called the Coal Dragon.

“This is a parallel world’s Fiore Kingdom. The current time here is July X791,” Nate explained, handing her the beta test app for [Dragon Hunter]. At the same time, he activated a spell in her magic app: [Domain Expansion].

“I’m giving you a mission.”

“This world has ten thousand dragons wreaking havoc. Your task is simple: follow the map’s guidance, find those dragons, and use the sealing magic I gave you to imprison them.”

“Me? Seal ten thousand dragons?” Brandish immediately wore a deadpan expression.

The existence of parallel worlds wasn’t a secret to her; she already knew about Edolas. However, this parallel world was clearly different.

“Your Majesty, I think you’re overestimating my capabilities!”

Nate chuckled. “You don’t need to defeat the dragons—just find them and seal them. That’s all.”

Ugh, how troublesome… Ten thousand dragons… Brandish disliked tedious tasks, but an order from His Majesty couldn’t be ignored.

Thus, she decisively asked, “Can I get help?”

“The other Spriggan 12?” Nate offered.

Brandish nodded repeatedly. She couldn’t handle such an exhaustive job alone—at least call in the Warrior Queen!

Nate had no objections. Sealing ten thousand dragons was a massive undertaking for one person, so more help would indeed improve efficiency.

“All right, let’s go. I’ll teach you how to seal them first.”

Opening the map and locating the nearest red dot, Nate wrapped an arm around Brandish’s waist. With a single thought, they transformed into a streak of golden light and sped toward their destination.
