Chapter 125

【Irene nodded gently, then looked at the dining table and asked with some shame:】

【"By the way, is your appetite usually this big?"】

【Natsu turned his head, looked at the table, and then scratched his head with some embarrassment.】

【"Maybe it's because your chef's skills are good, and I have indeed been hungry for a long time."】

【Speaking of this, he paused slightly: "By the way, you wouldn't be feeling the pinch and want to charge me, right?"】

【Looking at Natsu at this moment, Irene couldn't help but twitch her mouth.】

【"Am I such a stingy person in your mind?"】

【"That's not it." Natsu shook his head.】

【"But, you are a very stupid woman."】

【"Ah?!" Irene was stunned, then pointed at herself.】

【"I am stupid?!"】

【Natsu nodded: "Of course, I learned it from that maid just now."】

【"If you weren't stupid, you wouldn't have considered the marriage at all."】

【Irene's tone stalled, then she bit her lip and asked:】

【"You knew?"】

【"Of course, since I came here, I need to have a certain understanding of this place, otherwise I would only be moving forward in the dark~."】

【Natsu responded.】

【"Then, do you think this choice is very stupid?" Irene asked again.】

【"Of course it's stupid." Natsu said as a matter of course.】

【"Pinning your fate on the promise of someone you don't know at all, if that's not stupid, what is?"】

【Irene seemed to want to hear Natsu's opinion, so she retorted.】

【"But, the kingdom has no other choice right now, right?"】

【"You also know there's no other choice, why not fight? Is the marriage a choice? I don't think so; at most, it's just a trap."】

【Natsu said indifferently.】

【"Relying on the false relationship of that political marriage, do you expect that kingdom to help you with all its might? That's impossible; they will only think about how to fish for benefits."】

【"Once a fatal crisis strikes, this relationship will break at a single touch."】

Outside the Sky Screen.】

Irene looked at the Sky Screen scene with a livid face.】

Obviously, the stupid person Black Natsu just mentioned was her.】

She did indeed make that choice back then.】

And the facts were indeed as Black Natsu said.】

When she was forced to dragonify, that man chose to lock her in a dungeon without hesitation.】

In the end, he even wanted to execute her.】

However, although what Black Natsu said was right, he just called her stupid so bluntly.】

Doesn't she, the strongest woman in the Spriggan 12, have any face?】

Irene: "No, I have to find time to go to Ishgar and fix Natsu in this world; otherwise, it will be hard to vent the hatred in my heart!"】

Natsu: "Nani??? Black Natsu scolded you, and you come to hit me??"】

Happy: "Pfft, is Natsu the ultimate scapegoat here?"】

In the scene.】

【Irene seemed very surprised that Natsu had such insights.】

【Despite his young age, he showed cognition and thoughts beyond his age, and even his strength did not match his age at all.】

【There seemed to be too many unknowns contained within this, giving Irene an urge to solve the mystery that she couldn't wait for!】

【So, she looked at Natsu with confusion.】

【"By the way, at such a young age, why is your view of things so sharp?"】

【"Is it hard? It's something you can know by thinking more about character motivation."】

【Natsu spread his hands and responded.】

【As he spoke, Natsu turned his body, and his bones made a crackling sound.】

【"Then, since there is nothing else, I will take my leave first; thank you for your hospitality this time."】

【Looking at Natsu's movements, Irene was suddenly a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Are you leaving?"】

【"Hmm... not really; I came out this time because I wanted to look around more, so I will be in the capital recently."】

【"By the way, there should be something like a forest near the capital, right?"】

【"A forest?" Irene was full of confusion.】

【"Yes, because my cultivation time is up, and I can't display it in the city, so I need to find a no-man's land like a forest."】

【"You need to find a no-man's land to cultivate? Isn't meditation enough?"】

【For Natsu's statement, Irene expressed great confusion.】

【But Natsu was even more confused: "By the way, you are also a Dragon Slayer, right? You only meditate for cultivation?"】

【Irene was dumbfounded: "Is there... any other cultivation method?"】

【"Don't you exercise your body? If you don't exercise your body, how can you fit the Dragon Force?" Natsu looked at Irene in surprise.】

【"Dragon Force? Is it the kind you showed before?" Irene was suddenly a little excited.】

【One must know that that kind of power was the fundamental reason why Natsu could defeat dragons; if she could learn it too, maybe she could help Belserion.】

【"Uh... something like that; Igneel told me this, it can stimulate the true power of the dragon, this is Dragon Force."】

【"Then... can you teach me?" Irene stared with big eyes, looking at Natsu pitifully.】

【Natsu, who was being stared at, suddenly felt his scalp go numb.】

【Twitching his mouth: "There's nothing to teach; it's just exercising the body. If you can keep up, you can come with me."】

【"However... aren't you the Queen of this kingdom? Is it okay for you to just follow me to cultivate?"】

【"Belserion will watch over me; it has to stay in the Wang Gong to heal its injuries during this time."】

【"So, just take me with you."】

Invel: "Looking at it this way, Irene in that world seems to be really interested in Black Natsu."】

August: "I think so too; that coquettish side really surprised me; I have never seen such a side of Irene before."】

Irene: "Old man! Where did I in that world act coquettishly? Don't distort the facts!"】

Zeref: "Well, the facts are right there; I am very gratified to see it."】

Mard Geer: "Although I don't understand human emotions, even I, a demon, can see that something is wrong, right?"】

Ur: "As the saying goes, a woman's feelings for someone often start with curiosity. In my opinion, Irene in the Sky Screen has already begun to have a keen curiosity about Black Natsu."】

Ultear: "Really? I don't seem to have been curious about anyone."】

Ur: "That's why you are still single now, sigh... silly child."】

Meredy: "I have been curious about Tia, does that mean..."】

Jellal: "You two are not right!"】

Hades: "These two, I saw that they were not right a long time ago!"】

Ur: "Could it be!!! What a joke!"】

The scene continued.】

【Natsu finally agreed to Irene's request.】

【So, after Irene gave some instructions, she followed Natsu to the forest near the capital.】

【Started a three-month special training.】

【For Natsu, this special training was more about skillfully mastering the deeper level of dragonification he showed when fighting Nickel last time.】

【That kind of power disappeared after being used once, as if... the power was hiding from Natsu.】

【This feeling made him very unhappy; Black Natsu had always believed that since it was his own power, it should submit to him; why hide?】

【Just use it for me obediently!】

【And for Irene, it was more about learning Natsu's cultivation method, whether it was meditation or physical exercise.】

【Although Irene herself could be said to be the founder of Dragon Slayer Magic, and even the first Dragon Slayer in this world.】

【But, to be honest, Irene's Dragon Slayer Magic was actually not strong.】 ===== CHAPTER 126 =====
