Anna's arrangements were completed.
Caesar met with Igneel alone.
"Ignia."
Igneel fell into thought.
"It seems there is such a child."
Caesar was silent for a moment.
"That is your own son."
"You really do not remember."
"We dragons are different from humans."
Igneel spoke calmly.
"Males only provide the seed."
"Female dragons lay the eggs."
"They raise the children themselves."
"Even if they are my offspring, we are not close."
"Not even as close as I am with Natsu."
Caesar sighed helplessly.
Then he explained his plan.
He wanted to team up with Igneel.
They were going to beat up Ignia together.
Igneel agreed immediately.
"Beat him."
"Beat him hard."
"Do not hold back."
With that approval, Caesar felt relieved.
After saying goodbye to Selene and Athena, he returned home.
…
Under the soft yellow light, Mirajane leaned against the headboard.
A book rested loosely in her hands.
Her eyes were closed.
Her breathing was steady.
She was already asleep.
Caesar entered quietly.
He looked at her and shook his head gently.
He picked her up carefully.
He laid her down properly.
He covered her with a thin blanket.
As he turned away, a soft hand caught his wrist.
"You are back."
Mirajane opened her eyes and smiled.
"I am back."
"The century mission is almost finished."
"So I came home to be with you."
"When it is completely over, I will stay with you properly."
Caesar bent down and held her gently.
"You should hurry and finish things."
Mirajane laughed softly.
She tapped his forehead.
"The First Guild Master has waited long enough."
"He went to the Alvarez Empire recently."
"He went to see August."
Caesar smiled faintly.
Mavis already knew the truth now.
Even if she could only watch from afar, it was enough for her.
She could not appear directly.
If she did, the curse would kill August instantly.
It could even destroy the entire Alvarez Empire.
"The First Guild Master truly suffered."
"I know."
"So I will definitely break that curse."
After a moment of warmth, Caesar asked about the child.
Mirajane smiled brightly.
"The child is very well behaved."
"Even when using magic, it is careful."
"It does not want to hurt me."
Caesar nodded.
He washed up.
He lay down beside her.
He held her close.
Soon, he fell asleep.
…
On the rooftop.
Athena sat at the edge.
She sensed the room below growing quiet.
She looked at Selene.
"This is the first time I have seen Master Caesar like this."
"Such emotional changes."
Selene held her wine glass.
She looked at the crescent moon.
"This is probably what humans call love."
"It is a pity."
"The moon here is not beautiful enough."
"Love."
Athena touched her power core.
"I have heard of it."
"But what exactly is love."
"Do not ask me."
Selene stood up.
"I do not know either."
"I am going back to Black Moon Mountain."
"The moonlight there is better."
"I also need to bathe."
"Three times a day."
"I cannot skip even once."
"No need."
"My hibernation is short."
"A few minutes is enough."
Athena remained seated.
She stared at the moon.
"Love."
"What a complicated emotion."
Selene opened the portal.
She stepped through.
The rooftop grew quiet again.
…
A new day arrived.
It was lively as always.
Early in the morning, Caesar went to Magnolia City Hall.
He asked for land.
It was for building a school.
Construction land required special approval.
The process was complicated.
However, the mayor considered Caesar's identity.
He promised to resolve it within three months.
Three months.
Caesar said nothing.
He placed three gold bricks on the desk.
Each was the size of a human head.
The old desk collapsed instantly.
The mayor did not complain.
He stared at the gold in shock.
He immediately contacted his superiors.
Less than ten minutes later, everything was approved.
Caesar took the permanent ownership certificate.
He left the office directly.
The mayor called for help.
Three people worked together.
Only then did they lift the gold bricks away.
The land was located in an abandoned residential area.
It had been empty for years.
It was scheduled for demolition anyway.
Now, it belonged to Caesar.
He did not waste time.
He purchased building materials immediately.
He did not demolish the old houses.
He clapped his hands.
The alchemy array activated.
Less than an hour later, a small school stood completed.
It covered over a thousand square meters.
Anna had not even eaten lunch yet.
Caesar dragged her over directly.
She stared at the new school.
Her worries disappeared completely.
She officially became an unofficial Fairy Tail member.
She began teaching with peace of mind.
However.
When the first batch arrived.
Problem children.
Elderly dragons.
Cats.
Anna stood speechless.
She felt amused.
She felt helpless.
Still, she was patient.
She taught them step by step.
She hoped to guide them properly.
Caesar did not head to Giltina yet.
He brought the leftover materials back to Fairy Tail.
July was nearly over.
The Harvest Festival was approaching.
The alchemy array activated again.
A massive retractable stage appeared outside the guild.
It almost blocked the entire road.
Caesar looked forward to the festival.
Preparations had to begin.
The official debut of the Sky Sisters.
Foreign support from the Blue Sky Sisters.
Programs had to be arranged.
As for the solo performance that needed a whole night.
Caesar canceled it immediately.
"It is too offensive."
"I cannot even bear to look at it."
