The two of them were very happy.
"I feel relieved to see you come back safely."
Mistergang took a commission and looked at Caesar, who was sitting with Makarov, and said, "You can call me if you need me in the future."
"I'm too lazy to team up with men. Mira is fine."
Caesar waved his hand and said, "Quickly cancel it. It makes me sleepy."
"I know. Thank you last time."
Mistergang nodded and turned to leave the guild.
As Mistergang left, everyone in the guild woke up.
Everyone naturally complained about Mistergang's actions, but with Makarov's permission, they could only complain.
Makarov glanced at Caesar, who was still eating and not affected, and suddenly touched his chin and said to Caesar, "Caesar, how old are you this year?"
"18."
Caesar responded.
"It's gone by so fast. I still remember when you first came to the guild, you were as thin as a little monkey. Seven years have passed in a flash. The original kid has grown into an adult who can stand on his own."
Makarov laughed, and then with a hint of gossip, he poked Caesar's arm and gestured to Mirajane.
Caesar rolled his eyes silently.
Is it true that when people get old, they start worrying about the future of the younger generation?
Is it because I have a good relationship with Mirajane that Makarov seems to be urging me to get married?
Caesar looked up at Mirajane, who was now standing with her hands on her waist and holding up a finger, teaching Elfman and Lisanna a lesson.
It seemed that these two siblings had been giving Mirajane a lot of trouble during the days they were away.
Although Mirajane has become gentle now, the violent temper inside is not as suppressed as in the original story.
From the fact that Mirajane has not retreated from the front line of battle since Caesar intervened, it can be seen that Mirajane will instantly turn into the "demon" Mira when she encounters something.
Should I speed up the progress?
Caesar picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, thinking silently in his heart.
Looking at Mirajane, Caesar came up with a plan in his mind.
…
"Engagement?!"
That night, Mirajane heard what Caesar said to her, her face full of disbelief, and then she felt dizzy, as if she were drunk.
"Well, will you marry me?"
Caesar looked at Mirajane and said, "If you are willing, then we will get engaged first and set a wedding date…"
"I do."
There was no romantic ceremony, only a simple sentence. Mirajane snuggled into Caesar's arms, stretched out her finger, and pressed it against Caesar's mouth, interrupting his next words.
Caesar picked up Mirajane and spun her around before putting her down.
"But won't you announce it to others?"
Mirajane's face was flushed, and she looked at Caesar and asked.
"Of course I will announce it. But…"
Caesar laughed and explained his plan to Mirajane.
After listening, Mirajane immediately showed a devilish smile.
The two of them had a high degree of agreement at that moment, and they were ready to act together.
…
"Is there something wrong with everyone recently?"
Makarov looked at the lively guild and always felt that something was wrong.
"How could it be wrong?"
Caesar smiled and shook his head. "Master, you think too much."
"Really?"
Makarov was confused.
"Yes, you think too much, Master."
Erza said stiffly.
Makarov looked at Erza. How could it be okay like this?!
Caesar covered his face in his heart. Sure enough, Erza had no acting skills at all. Who told Erza so much?
However, although Makarov felt something was wrong, he didn't like to ask questions, so he didn't ask anything and drank by himself.
Seeing Makarov like this, everyone was relieved.
Makarov: … It's really suspicious!
Although Makarov wanted to know what happened, everyone kept silent, and Makarov was a little helpless.
Time passed bit by bit, and Makarov's doubts grew bigger and bigger.
Because there were fewer and fewer people in his guild, and many people had not accepted commissions, so why were they all out?
Makarov was a little confused, but facing his doubts, everyone still concealed the truth.
This made Makarov feel that his credibility as Master seemed to have declined.
He wanted to find out, but the guild masters' meeting started again. He had no choice but to leave for the meeting and take Erza with him to broaden her horizons.
He originally wanted to take Caesar with him, but Caesar refused, and sold out Erza, whose acting skills were not up to standard.
Erza was full of resentment about this, and then she followed Makarov helplessly.
…
In the Cathedral of Cardia, many members of the Fairy Tail guild hurriedly worked. When they heard the news that Makarov had left, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, there was no need to be sneaky.
But in this case, time was very tight, and they had to speed up.
…
After the meeting, Makarov took Erza back to Magnolia.
As soon as he got off the train, a group of guild girls surrounded him. After a while, Makarov was confused by the girls, and then he willingly covered his eyes with a magic blindfold.
His hands were pulled forward by the girls, and Makarov was overjoyed.
"So, everyone has been preparing for so long, and it's a surprise for me. Haha, they are really thoughtful."
Just when Makarov was wondering what kind of surprise it was, he felt that he was taken to a chair, and then the girls helped him sit down.
"Well, this is… the cathedral?"
Feeling the chair under him and hearing some sounds nearby, Makarov immediately determined where he was.
At this moment, the blindfold was taken off.
Then, Makarov saw that his eyes were full of festive red.
Caesar and Mirajane, wearing festive red dresses, were standing in front of Makarov.
"This… you guys?"
Makarov was stunned and quickly looked around. He realized that he was on the grass outside the cathedral, overwhelmed by the festive decorations.
"Master."
When Makarov was still confused, Caesar picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Makarov, saying, "Mira and I have no elders, so we think that if we are going to get engaged and married, you must be the most suitable. In our hearts, we have always regarded you as our grandfather. This cup of tea is for you, and we hope you can be a witness to our engagement."
Makarov finally understood why everyone had kept it a secret from him and why they were so secretive.
So, the so-called surprise was this.
Makarov gently wiped the slightly moist corners of his eyes, tears rolling in his eyes as if they would spill at any moment. These children… they are like his own. Every moment of their growth is deeply imprinted in his heart.
At this moment, no one could be more excited than him. He had witnessed the whole process of these children from being ignorant to gradually becoming mature and sensible, and had seen their unyielding and firm belief in the face of difficulties.
Now, seeing them finally welcome their own happy moment, Makarov's joy and pride were beyond words.
Makarov took a sip of the tea handed over by Caesar and put the teacup back on the table. Then Mirajane also handed over a cup of steaming, fragrant tea. Makarov took the cup with a smile and tasted it slowly.
At this moment, Makarov, as the head of the family and the biggest witness of this ceremony, stood up and said in a loud voice, "Today, here, I am very honored to witness the love of two young people, Caesar and Mirajane."
After that, Caesar and Mirajane stood face to face, stared into each other's eyes affectionately, and then carefully took out the engagement rings and solemnly put them on each other's fingers.
This simple and solemn action seemed to symbolize the promise they made to each other.
Stay together for life and never leave each other.
At this exciting moment, Caesar and Mirajane held each other's hands tightly and announced to everyone in unison, "We are engaged!"
As soon as the words fell, thunderous applause and cheers rang out at the scene. Everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles, and their eyes showed the most sincere blessings to the newlyweds.
At this moment, the whole scene was surrounded by a happy atmosphere, and everyone was immersed in the beauty of it.
Everyone rushed forward to hug Caesar and Mirajane and congratulate them. These blessings not only came from friends, but also from the ups and downs they had experienced together, and the good times they had shared.
In this moment full of love and warmth, Caesar and Mirajane felt…
