Chapter 37

Y/n's POV

Just over a week passed as the guild finally got back into its normal routine. There ended up being some trouble with a potion and a few other things, but overall it was nice getting back into regular work. Mama kept complaining about rent while I went on a few jobs by myself, earning some money to use. Wendy and I even contacted each other through some letters, which took forever to come back and forth. When I got back from the latest job, I took I found papa, mama and Happy all sitting at a table in the guildhall. "Hi mama, I'm back." I said, walking into the guild. Everyone waved as mama looked over at me. "Welcome back, sweetie. How was the job?" Mama asked.

"Good, it was a simply deal with some rogue wizards so I managed." I said, sitting down next to her. Sapphire came out of her hiding spot on my back and said hello to everyone. She sat down near Happy and ate some fish that was left out from what Happy was eating. "Natsu and I were just talking about taking on our next job tomorrow. Would you like to come?" Mama asked.

"Sure, sound like fun. Besides, I'm still waiting for something more exciting when it comes to the requests." I said. Papa nodded in agreement with me. "Let's plan on meeting around noon tomorrow." Papa said. Mama nodded before looking out the guild doors. "Something wrong mama?" I asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it's just my imagination. I've felt like someone's been watching me lately." Mama said.

"Well, you know that if anyone tries anything, I'll help you take them down." I said. She smiled and nodded, getting up and putting on her jacket. "Shall we head home and get rested?" Mama asked. 

"Yes, please. After all the fighting I did today, I could use some sleep." I said. I got up and picked up Sapphire, resting her on my head while she continued eating the fish she had. "See ya tomorrow papa." I said. He waved as me and mama walked out of the guildhall. On the way home we stopped at a few places grabbing a few extra groceries and snacks for me. The sun had fully set when we were getting close to home. The normal guys on the boat warned mama about falling into the water before mama stopped and looked behind her. When I where she was looking I saw a person wearing some kind of cloak and peeking around a corner looking at us. "Want me to take care of him?" I asked.

"No, let's just get out of here." Mama said. I nodded as we took off jogging towards home. I could easily hear that someone was following behind us. Mama stopped and looked back again before she took off running. Mama stopped once more looking back. I looked back with her and didn't see anyone behind us. "Guess he's gone." Mama said. I heard someone walk up form behind us and quickly spun on my heels ready to punch him. "Wait! Please I just want to speak with Lucy." The person said. I stopped a few inches from his face before looking at mama. The man took off his hood and looked at mama. "Mama do you know who this is?" I asked, stepping back from him. He looked at her completely shocked. "Lucy did she just call you mama?" The man asked.

"Yes she did, Y/n this is my dad." Mama said. I looked him up and down growling quietly. "I have a lovely granddaughter now. That's amazing." He said. He went to hug me which I easily dodged and moved past him. Mama was too stunned to talk as she just looked at him. "It really is you. What are you doing here? And what's with the beard and tattered clothing?" Mama asked.

"Heatfelia Railways was recently bought out from under me. Which means I've lost everything I own. The company, the estate, and all my money." He said.

"Are you serious?" Mama asked. 

"I'm afraid so, I put up my entire fortune as collateral. I spent all thoise years working my tail off making that buisness successful and this is the thanks I get." He said.

"The house? No, what about mom's grave?" Mama asked. 

"Don't worry I had it moved here." He said, handing mama a piece of paper. Mama took it as he just looked at her. "I would be completely heart broken if I didn't find it so funny. To think that so much wealth could disappear in the blink of an eye. All my years of work were ruin in a span of a single evening. It went up in smoke. I pushed my own family aside for that fortune and now it's gone. Isn't that ridiculous." He said, laughing a little.
