Chapter 166

Zeref: "Is it a message from Igneel?"

August: "Does this count as meeting the parents?"

Zeref: "Well, it counts as meeting half of them, but there will be a chance to meet the other half sooner or later."

August: "Presumably, the other parent in that world would be very satisfied, right?"

Zeref: "Of course, honestly, I wish I could let the people of the two worlds swap places right now."

Irene: "You two have had enough, you've been saying things no one can understand since earlier, who are you teasing?"

Hades: "However, this is indeed meeting the parents, haha, the performance of Irene in that world should be able to satisfy Igneel, right?"

Irene: "A bunch of bastards..."

"Can't the screen even block your mouths?"

Brain: "After all, there aren't many opportunities to talk trash to the dignified Spriggan 12."

Irene: "Hmm? Brain, I'll tell you clearly, don't even think about resurrecting. If you resurrect once, I'll kill you once!"

Brain: "Huh?? What the hell? What happened? Why is there suddenly another enemy?"

Ultear: "Pfft! Hahaha, Brain, this is what you call digging your own grave."

Ur: "Seems like there's another like-minded person? Brain, hurry up and resurrect, I'm still waiting to take revenge."

Brain: "I... forget it, I'd better shut up." The interlude passed, and the screen continued.

【Irene frowned slightly after receiving Igneel's message.】

【She looked at Natsu: "This little guy is actually a descendant of a dragon? No, he should be a human, right?"】

【Although she couldn't figure it out, as Black Natsu's father, Irene couldn't reject the other party's face no matter what.】

【So, after tidying up her somewhat haggard face, she left here briefly.】

【Heading toward the back mountain.】

【The night was already deep.】

【In the silent back mountain, the sound of insects chirping could be heard from time to time.】

【Fireflies flew on the dark mountain road, bringing a glimmer of light to the endless deep mountains.】

【Irene was moving slowly with the help of the fireflies' light.】

【Her heart was very uneasy.】

【Perhaps even she herself didn't know what attitude to face Igneel with.】

【So much so that the speed of her heartbeat increased as she got closer to the destination.】

【Soon, Irene arrived in front of a dense bush.】

【She could feel that not far ahead, heavy breathing was constantly echoing.】

【The aura belonging to a dragon was exceptionally rich.】

【"Is this the place?"】

【Irene's heart almost jumped out.】

【What does this count as for her? A daughter-in-law meeting the father?】

【But it doesn't count, after all, this is all just Irene treating herself as such.】

【Black Natsu's current age, maybe he doesn't even understand these things.】

【However, speaking of not understanding...】

【Irene couldn't help but recall that night when they were cultivating together, clinging to her magnificent hands, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.】

【Sure enough, are men, as a species, born like this in some aspects?】

【However, Irene couldn't blame Black Natsu at the time.】

【After all, others were just curious why Irene had two extra organs.】

【"No, what am I thinking?!"】

【Irene was startled and quickly shook her head.】

【Then, in one go, she pushed aside the bushes blocking her way.】

Outside the screen.

Irene lowered her head, her cheeks as red as apples, and even wisps of blue smoke began to rise from her forehead.

August looked at this scene, preparing to say something.

However, after turning his head and seeing Irene's gritted-teeth expression, he was forced to swallow all his words.

He immediately turned his head to look at the screen, smacking his lips.

August deeply knew that he couldn't say any more,

if he said more... Irene would probably explode.

【As the bushes obscuring her vision were pushed aside.】

【What came into view was a huge deep pool, with the bright moonlight reflecting in it.】

【Of course, in the reflection on the water, there was also that huge crimson giant dragon.】

【It stood at the edge of the deep pool, staring at the slightly rippling water, silent.】

【Rustle...】

【Seeming to have heard the movement behind it, Igneel slowly raised its head and turned around.】

【Its eyes looked at the woman with long crimson hair.】

【"Irene Belserion?"】
