Allen first stood at the doorway and looked over the quiet hall, nodding in satisfaction. Then he led Ul, the four children—including Kana—and a dog toward the bar. After exchanging a greeting with Makarov from across the room, Laxus left. The long journey had left him somewhat tired, so he needed a good rest.
When Makarov saw Ul carrying Ultear, he raised an eyebrow and guessed where Ul had come from. However, he was completely baffled by the three children behind her.
Allen walked up to the bar and introduced them to Makarov. "Grandpa, this is Ul, a Ten Saints-level mage from Gildarts Continent. She's Ultear's mother, and after I talked to her, she's decided to join the guild. These two boys beside her are children we met in Gildarts whose parents died in a disaster. Since no one could adopt them, I decided to bring them back to the guild. As for this little girl..."
When Allen mentioned Kana, he paused, then leaned down and whispered into Makarov's ear, "She's Gildarts's daughter. Her mother passed away some time ago, but Gildarts doesn't know he has a daughter."
When Makarov heard this earth-shattering news, he was instantly stunned! He stared at Kana's adorable face in disbelief, then imagined Gildarts's face. Unable to believe it, he turned to Allen. Allen saw the questions filling Makarov's eyes, but said nothing. He merely nodded at him with a firm look.
Makarov felt a headache coming on. The guild was about to become a kindergarten, but Allen hadn't done anything wrong. Thinking about everything that would follow, he could only sigh silently.
Seeing that Makarov had completely overlooked Ul, Allen reminded him with a gesture. Only then did Makarov turn his attention to Ul.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ul. I lost my composure just now.
