Chapter 80

["They will!"]

["As long as this longing is still there, as long as this bond is still there..."]

[It raised its huge head, looking at the sunset that had already been half-covered by the mountains in the distance.]

[It said softly:]

["Then no matter how far the distance is."]

["No matter how long the time is."]

["You will always meet again!"]

[Seemingly having obtained the answer she wanted, the smile on Irene's face became even more brilliant.]

["I think so too!"]

[She turned around and passed Belserion.]

["Let's go, to the library! I want to check information, I want to do research!"]

["I can't wait to see the surprised expression on that guy's face when we meet next time and he finds out I've completed the research on perfect dragonization!"]

["Thinking about it will be very interesting."]

[Watching their queen burning with fighting spirit again, Belserion also raised a smile.]

[Its huge body turned around and followed Irene's big strides.]

["Aren't you going to eat something before researching?"]

["That's true, I'm hungry, I just don't know if that brat is hungry, he didn't eat much when he left."]

["You can rest assured, with the young master's strength, just catching a wild beast is a feast, are you afraid he'll be hungry?"]

["That's true... forget it, tell someone to bring the food to the library, I'm going to solve it there today!"]

["Okay, do you need my help?"]

["Of course, you are my key research object!"]

[The figures of the dragon and the person went further and further away, until they completely disappeared from the celestial screen image.]

Seeing this, everyone knew that the images about Irene had come to an end.

When Irene meets Black Natsu next time, who knows when it will be.

After all.

From the scattered information in the celestial screen, even Irene herself didn't know if they could meet again next time.

And she was deeply worried about it.

All of this must be traced back to the conversation between the Fire Dragon King and Irene.

What exactly did they talk about that day?

No one knows, but from then on, the appearance Irene showed was as if they were about to part forever.

Why is this?

Just thinking about it, I'm afraid something will happen to Black Natsu.

And this matter is very likely related to the previous wrong timeline.

Clearly, White Natsu woke up to the current timeline, but Black Natsu's side was strangely the timeline of four hundred years ago.

What happened in the hundreds of years in between...

What happened?

Countless people watched the celestial screen with bated breath.

Attempting to find the answers to that series of questions in the following images.

[The image is fast-forwarding.]

[Black Natsu is walking along the road he took when he set off towards the direction of the primeval forest in his memory.]

[As time passed, in Black Natsu's line of sight, the familiar wooden house appeared in front.]

[Today, in front of the wooden house, contrary to expectations, those few naughty little guys were not there.]

["Did they not have class today?"]

[With doubts, Black Natsu moved his steps and walked into the courtyard.]

[The chairs, blackboard, etc., used for class in the past were all placed in the courtyard.]

[Black Natsu slowed his pace, his fingers gently stroking the chairs.]

[An unreal feeling welled up in his heart.]

["So fast." Black Natsu sighed.]

["In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and I haven't been back here for a long time."]

[Seemingly having noticed the slight movement coming from the courtyard.]

[The tightly closed door of the wooden house was also slowly pushed open at this moment.]

["NATSU!!"]

[Anna, who poked her head out from the wooden house, had her eyes widen instantly, looking at Black Natsu in the courtyard in surprise.]

[Then she immediately stepped out of the wooden door and walked quickly towards Black Natsu.]

[Immediately following! It was a big hug!]

[Black Natsu only felt a surging wave swaying in front of him, the dense feeling making him almost unable to breathe.]

[So he began to struggle hard.]

["Hmm... hmm... Anna... teacher..."]

[The intermittent sound finally attracted Anna's attention.]

[She quickly let go of Black Natsu and smiled awkwardly.]

["Sorry, sorry, I was too excited."]

[Black Natsu, who had been reborn, took a deep breath.]

[This... seems even more surging than Irene's!]

[After a sigh in his heart, Black Natsu shook his head.]

[Then he smiled and greeted Anna: "I'm back, Teacher Anna!"]

["Welcome home, welcome home."]

[Anna's palms kept stroking Black Natsu's cheeks, the heartache in her eyes overflowing.]

["Look at you, how long has it been, you've lost a whole circle, you must have suffered a lot outside, right?"]

["Really, didn't I give you a lot of gold beans? How could you still be hungry and thin?"]

["Could it be that you encountered something?"]

["Robbers? Bandits? Or something else?"]

[Anna's gaze looked at Black Natsu with concern.]

[The chattering sound echoed in his ears.]

[There was no sign of stopping for a long time.]

[Although he could feel the intense care, the constant nagging was a bit terrifying, even making Black Natsu feel his head starting to ache.]

[So he quickly raised his hands: "Alright, alright, Teacher Anna, don't worry, I lived very well outside, and I also ate a lot of food I had never seen before."]

["You don't have to worry."]

[Anna, who was forcibly interrupted by Black Natsu, was not angry, just smiled helplessly and shook her head.]

[Her palms rubbed Black Natsu's cheeks.]

["You brat, no matter what, it's good that you came back safely, it's good that you came back safely."]

["Have you eaten? I'll make you something to eat."]

["Not yet, mainly because I missed Teacher Anna's cooking, so I'll trouble you."]

[Black Natsu said with a smile.]

["What's the trouble with that, wait here."]

[After saying that, Anna ran towards the wooden house in a hurry.]

[Immediately after, not long after, an enticing fragrance gradually drifted out from the wooden house.]

["Still that taste."]

[Black Natsu took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and looked forward to the inside of the wooden house.]
