Chapter 172

Her wisdom is not bad either.】

It's just that she suffered from not having a research direction, which is why she has been troubled until now.】

Of course, there is also a big reason, because Irene in this world is already too late.】

Dragonification has already taken root in her body.】

Therefore, even if the method Black Natsu mentioned is really useful, it is unusable for Irene, who has already finished dragonification.】

The method proposed by Black Natsu is more for use when the Dragon Seed has not yet completely grown and has not spread to the limbs and bones.】

Therefore, the fate of Irene in this world has long been doomed.】

But, Irene in the black world has a new path.】

Black Natsu has already pointed out a clear research direction for Irene.】

Next, it depends on Irene's own research results.】

If feasible, Irene in the black world might become the first Dragon Slayer in history to successfully immunize against the side effects of dragonification.】

A nameless place.】

Zeref stared at Black Natsu on the screen in a daze.】

His expression seemed to be a bit trance-like.】

Looking at Black Natsu's confident appearance as he talked eloquently, looking at the light of wisdom radiating from Black Natsu.】

Zeref seemed to see his own shadow.】

He saw himself four hundred years ago, when he went to research life and death in order to resurrect his younger brother.】

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up gently.】

A smile appeared on the face of this Black Mage.】

But, immediately, it turned into bitterness.】

Zeref really wanted to proudly tell the whole world that such a smart, such a genius person is his own younger brother.】

But, it's a pity that it's a younger brother from another world.】

Strictly speaking, he doesn't even have any relationship with Zeref in this world.】

And this world...】

Recalling his own idiot younger brother whose muscles were full of brains and who was silly all day long.】

Zeref couldn't help but sigh deeply.】

Sometimes, one has to suspect that heaven is fair, leaving all the wisdom to him, the older brother.】

And leaving the mental disability to that silly younger brother.】

Just at this moment, Zeref keenly saw Natsu's speech on the screen.】

Natsu: "By the way, looking at you guys, you seem very surprised, what exactly did I in that world say?"】

"What... dragonification... Lacrima... seed... and so on, what exactly are they?"】

"So brain-burning."】

Everyone: "..."】

Ultear: "You've been listening for a long time, don't tell me you don't even know what a Dragon Seed is?"】

Natsu: "Didn't understand..."】

Zeref's face turned even darker.】

Why, when it's clearly the same person, is the gap so big?"】

So big!!!"】

Zeref's heart was roaring, shouting, but more of it was full of powerlessness.】

In the end, it could only turn into a long sigh.】

This silly younger brother, sigh... it's hard to say in a few words!】

...】

...】

The images on the screen continued.】

【Time seemed to have pressed the fast-forward button.】

【In a blink of an eye, three days passed in a hurry.】

【On this day, Black Natsu finally proposed the idea of parting to Irene.】

【Even though there was all kinds of reluctance, Irene was still very sensible.】

【The words of the Fire Dragon King were still echoing in Irene's mind until now.】

【Therefore, she didn't make any attempt to keep him.】

【For what Black Natsu said, that he would come to find her soon, she also responded with a smile.】

【However, at the moment of parting, Irene still couldn't help but call out to Black Natsu.】

【"Is there anything else?"】

【Black Natsu, who had put on his luggage, stopped his steps, turned around, and looked at Irene.】

【Irene's hands were tangled, pulling at the corner of her clothes, and her expression was a bit unnatural.】

【She asked coyly: "That... next time we meet, you won't forget me, right?"】

【Seeming to find Irene's question a bit funny, Black Natsu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.】

【"What are you talking about?"】

【"My memory isn't bad enough to forget such a big thing, right?"】

【"The days spent with you were very happy, this is the treasure of my memory, so don't worry, I will never forget."】

【Hearing such an answer, Irene's heart couldn't help but feel joy.】

【At this moment, the stone hanging in her heart was completely put down, she seemed to be prepared to fight against the long time.】

【Her hands were no longer tangled, playing with the corner of her clothes, but she straightened her back.】

【Looking at Black Natsu: "Then you have to remember your words, and also, next time we meet, I will give you a big surprise!"】

【"Huh? What surprise?"】

【"I won't tell you." Irene smiled beautifully.】

But it made Irene outside the screen unable to help but close her eyes.】

She opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to curse angrily.】

But, in the end, she held it back.】

After being silent for a moment, she said helplessly.】

"I can't watch it anymore, you guys watch it yourselves."】

After saying that, she ignored the Spriggan 12 around her and left the conference room alone.】

Too embarrassing.】

It's really too embarrassing, how could I in that world act like a little woman?"】

If that's the case, where should I, the strongest woman in the empire, put my face?"】

That expression, Irene hasn't revealed it for over four hundred years, and no one has ever seen it.】

As a result, now the whole world knows what an Irene in a romantic fantasy looks like.】

How can this still be played?"】

My dignity as the dignified Irene, my style, etc., are all completely ruined!"】

Therefore, of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best policy.】

【Black Natsu finally left.】

【Irene stood outside the city gate of the capital, watching Black Natsu's departing back.】

【Until he completely disappeared, she had no intention of going back.】

【The sky gradually began to darken.】

【Behind her also came Belserion's voice.】

【"Queen, the person has already left, how long are you going to stand here?"】

【"You haven't eaten anything yet, right?"】

【Irene shook her head gently, didn't answer Belserion's question, but turned to look at this giant dragon.】

【"Na, Belserion, you say... will people who part really meet again?"】

【Belserion didn't hesitate and spoke decisively.】
