this is actually wrong.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Black Natsu’s words made Lucy step back two steps in horror.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Then... if that’s the case...”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“It’s just as you think.” Black Natsu gave a definitive answer.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Eh??” Lucy was startled.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【On the side, the villagers were looking at each other; after being reminded by Black Natsu’s words, the blurred memory fragments seemed to gradually become clear.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“It seems... that is indeed the case...”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【A villager looked at his palm and spoke with some confusion.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Black Natsu continued to explain:】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Actually, they originally possessed the ability to transform into humans; it was because of the Moon Drip that their memories deviated, or rather, became confused.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Logically speaking, this kind of memory confusion is actually uncontrollable; that is to say, the confused memories of each person are not necessarily the same.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“At first, there might only be one or two who had this phenomenon, but as they began to spread this claim.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Plus the passage of time, more and more people began to believe that they were originally humans, and so, this wrong memory began to become more and more solid.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Coupled with the influence of the Moon Drip, it completely solidified the memories of everyone in the entire village.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Black Natsu said this, and Lucy had a new question.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“But... Lyon and the others had absolutely no problems?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Because they were originally humans; the way humans and demons... uh... or rather, native demons construct their thinking is different, which is why such a deviation occurred.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Black Natsu said.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“So... that’s how it is?” Lucy understood.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“It seems that finding you guys was indeed the right choice!” Just at this moment, a voice appeared.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Lucy and the others turned back and were shocked!】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“A ghost??”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Isn’t this... the uncle who was driving the boat before??” Gray looked at Bobo in disbelief.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“That is... the village chief’s son who was executed??” Happy was completely confused.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Bo... Bobo...” The village chief looked blankly at the familiar figure.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Aren’t you already...” A villager looked at Bobo in disbelief.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Hearing this, Bobo scratched his head and laughed out loud: “Hahaha, isn’t it just being stabbed in the chest? As a demon, the self-healing ability is very strong; this degree is nothing at all.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【As he spoke, he spread his demon wings and flew straight into the sky.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Look, we really are demons, Dad.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Bo... Bobo...” Seeing his son appear before his eyes again.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The village chief could no longer hold back, and he also spread his wings and flew toward Bobo in the sky.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Father and son hugged each other in mid-air.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Haha, Dad, you finally returned to normal!”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【At this moment, the villagers’ memories were finally completely sorted out, and one by one, they tentatively spread their wings and flew into the sky.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Subsequently, they became more and more proficient.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The feeling of flying again made everyone very excited, and laughter filled the sky.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“So this... was Demon Island all along!” Lucy, who seemed to be no longer afraid, exclaimed.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Are you not afraid anymore?” Mirajane looked at Lucy with a smile.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Lucy shook her head: “Perhaps it’s because I saw everyone’s smiles, everyone’s freedom, I suddenly feel...”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Rather than saying they are demons, it’s better to say they are angels!”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Black Natsu and Erza looked at each other and smiled slightly.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“By the way, I have always been curious, why were they unable to approach the ruins?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Erza seemed to have thought of something and leaned into Black Natsu’s ear to whisper.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【“Even though we are also demons, why can we approach that ruin?”】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>0 Seeking flowers\u003C\u002Fp>",1671,"2026-06-15T13:50:32.810Z","2026-06-17T08:43:35.817Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","59d456428ead2c7f9c3bbbbcd103e008f21661ea2d3123e4a7502da01b74af2b","fairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-chapter-244","fairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-chapter-242",287,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffairy-tail-a-tale-of-two-natsus-this-one-truly-s-cover.jpg"]
