Cana had a lot of confidence in Gildarts; he was the goal she had always strived to catch up with, the most powerful mage in Fairy Tail. How could there possibly be a mission that could stop Gildarts!

"It's 100-Year Quest."

"Even 100-Year Quest, Gildarts can...? What did you say?" Cana turned around in shock.

"I said it's 100-Year Quest, a mission that no one has been able to complete in a hundred years. And Gildarts has to go alone, so it might be even more dangerous, which is why I wanted to come and tell you."

Eleven felt wronged. He had meant well, but Cana had been so mean to him. He was upset!

However, Cana didn't bother with Eleven's little mood. At this moment, she was still immersed in the shock of Gildarts going to do the 100-Year Quest. It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and she looked at Eleven with a melancholy expression.

"Well, he's Gildarts, after all. A mere 100-Year Quest should be a piece of cake for him, right?" Cana's words were clearly not what she really thought; though she said it, her eyes clearly revealed her worry.

Eleven shook his head; he wasn't one to be arrogant. He patted Cana on the shoulder and smiled, "Go cheer on Gildarts. He probably won't be back for a long time."

Cana lowered her head, her heart pounding with conflict, her face flushed red. After a long while, she finally nodded firmly. "Okay, I'll go talk to him!"

Soon, Eleven and Cana found Gildarts drinking at the bar. After finishing his conversation with Makarov, he acted as if nothing had happened and habitually went back to drinking, bragging, and flirting with the girls.

As Cana stood behind Gildarts was righteously stroking the waitress's hand. What he was doing was utterly despicable, yet he did it with such an air of self-righteousness.

Eleven suddenly felt that even if Gildarts were his father, he wouldn't acknowledge him as a relative. Having such a despicable father was truly shameful.

After watching for a while, Gildarts showed no intention of letting the pretty young lady go, and even started talking about whether there would be a date that night in front of his daughter.

Cana:_

"Hey, Cana, don't go! Didn't you have something to say?" Eleven grabbed Cana, who was turning to leave, somewhat helplessly.

Cana, however, remained indifferent, clearly extremely angry. "I think Gildarts has plenty of energy; we don't need to worry about him at all!"

Eleven quickly tried to dissuade him. "No, no, no, these two kinds of 'energy' are different. We still need to talk to Gildarts!"

The commotion caused by Eleven and Cana behind him finally alerted Gildarts. Taking advantage of the moment he turned around, the young lady, whose face had turned red from his flirting, immediately pulled her hand back and ran away like lightning, leaving Gildarts standing there, greatly disappointed.

When he turned back to look at Eleven and Cana, his displeasure was practically overflowing! These brats had to go somewhere else to have fun, why did they have to come and ruin his plans? Now he couldn't even relax before setting off!

"Hey, Eleven, what's up?" Gildarts to see Eleven not only ruin his plans but also ignore him while Lala with a girl. He was jealous—no, he felt disrespected—and raised his voice several decibels.

Upon hearing Gildarts' words, Cana finally stopped struggling and was forcibly pulled in front of Gildarts by Eleven, who grabbed her wrist.

Eleven, unperturbed by Gildarts's discontent, said with a grin, "Gildarts, Cana and I have something to say to you."

Gildarts glanced at Eleven, who was holding Cana's wrist, raised an eyebrow, and revealed a playful smile. Suddenly, he lowered his voice. "What, are you two getting married?"

Eleven:???

What the hell are you talking about, you old pervert? How did this topic suddenly jump to marriage? Are you out of your mind?

Eleven's train of thought was abruptly interrupted by Gildarts. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only push Cana forward. "Forget it, let Cana talk to you. I fucking have nothing to say to you!"

Cana stood behind Eleven, having not heard what Gildarts had said. Suddenly pushed forward by Eleven, she became nervous, her face flushing red. Head down, she stammered, not daring to look at Gildarts, her fingers knotted in front of her, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Gildarts looked at the nervous Cana with some confusion; this girl always seemed to look like this whenever she saw him.

Gildarts was actually quite familiar with girls' shyness, and he would be very happy if he met such an adorable girl outside. However, when the object of his affections was a little girl he had watched grow up in the guild, he became conflicted and didn't quite understand what Cana wanted to do.

After thinking for a moment, Gildarts reached into his bag, rummaged through it, pulled out a book, and handed it to Cana.

"Well, I'm a man after all, and there's not much I can teach you. Take a look at this book and learn more on your own."

Cana took the book with a puzzled look and glanced at the title. "1001 Little Tips for Girls to Take Good Care of Themselves?"

I glanced through it briefly; a small portion was about hygiene, but the vast majority of the content was about how to deal with perverts and avoid scumbags.

What the heck? Why would they give me a book like this?

"Goodbye, sorry to have bothered you!" Cana closed the book, turned around and left. She was better off without such a silly dad!

"Wait, Cana, don't go yet!" Eleven stopped Cana with a helpless expression, and rolled his eyes at Gildarts, that idiot, a few times.

He'd just secretly glanced at that book; what kind of rubbish was it?! Was Gildarts implying that he was a jerk?

Seeing that Cana's eyes had become lifeless and that she was increasingly desperate about her father, Eleven decided to speak for Cana and say what she dared not say, so that there would be no more misunderstandings between the father and daughter.

For so many years, Cana has been silently watching Gildarts's back. They are clearly father and daughter, but they dare not acknowledge each other. Eleven is worried for her.

Cana herself always had many concerns, feeling that she was not worthy of being Gildarts' daughter, and always thought that she would have to become S-Class Mage before she could muster the courage to acknowledge her family.

Eleven could understand Cana's thoughts, but he didn't agree. Besides, based on his understanding of Gildarts, this man was definitely not someone who cared about the strength of his family. If Gildarts knew he had a daughter, he would be very happy!

Therefore, at this moment, Eleven made up his mind that even if Cana complained about him later, he would help Cana break this knot in her heart.

Holding Cana's shoulders, he pushed her back in front of Gildarts, ignoring Cana struggles, and said Eleven, "Gildarts, Cana is actually your daughter."
