After watching everything that Honez analyzed in the celestial display.
Natsu quickly turned to look at Igneel's phantom.
"Dad, is this it?"
Upon hearing this, Igneel nodded slightly: "That's about it. Of course, there's one more thing that Black Natsu doesn't know, which is that we have another reason for infiltrating the Dragon Slayer's body."
"As I said before, it's to help you suppress the growth of the Dragon Seed."
"However, we haven't mentioned this matter, so it's normal that he doesn't know about it."
At this point, Grandigne couldn't help but speak up as well:
"However, I didn't expect that Natsu from another world would even be able to analyze all of this. His calmness is indeed a bit frightening."
Igneel sighed helplessly, "Sigh! Who can argue with that?"
As it spoke, it looked at Natsu in front of it.
“Look at others, they had already figured it out pretty much back then. Look at you, you still don’t understand what’s going on. Why is there such a big difference?”
Upon hearing this, Natsu immediately spoke up, somewhat unconvinced:
"Wasn't that because I was completely asleep at the time?"
Gray crossed his arms, his gaze lost in thought, and said:
"I remember, Hennaz pretended to be asleep because he sensed something was wrong, right? You were different; you were sleeping soundly and didn't seem to notice anything amiss."
Natsu paused, his voice faltering.
In the end, he shrank back, unable to refute.
Igniru shook his head helplessly and said, "Just like I said, now that we've been exposed, we can't hide it anymore."
"Fortunately, the work of suppressing the Dragon Seed has been completed. Therefore, in the time to come, we can appear in the form of phantoms and communicate with you."
With that, Igneel bowed slightly to the guild members.
"Thank you all for taking care of that brat Natsu."
Makarov: "Hey!! This won't do, this won't do!!"
You must know, this is a top-tier existence among the dragons, the king of fire dragons. Such an existence bows to himself.
I'm afraid I'll strain my back.
"There's no need for that. Natsu is also our family. Taking care of family is a normal thing."
Makarov advised against it.
"Haha, that's true. For family, it's nothing. I'm also very fortunate that Natsu was able to meet a group of people like you. I've seen a lot over the years."
As he spoke, Igniru immediately turned his head.
He looked at Natsu sternly: "But do you know how much I've worried about you and how many times I've fretted over the years?"
"Can you please stop acting on your reckless nature every time?"
"Furthermore, your cultivation has been far too lax, far too lax, do you understand?"
"Look at Natsu from the other world. He has grown so much in such a short time. You are the same person with the same talent, so why are you still so weak?"
"I...I'm not that bad..." Natsu weakly retorted.
"There are many things that are not done properly!" Igneel stared wide-eyed at Natsu.
As if remembering something, he then pointed to the sky.
"By the way, doesn't the sky screen show things from when you were a child, and what happened when Honez was a child?"
"This is a great opportunity to reflect on the past, and along the way, I will thoroughly correct your reckless behavior!"
Natsu seemed to recall something, clutching his head in his hands and looking at Igneel in horror.
"Why be so harsh after just meeting?"
“There’s nothing I can do.” Igniru shrugged.
"I originally thought these were no big deal. Although you have many shortcomings, overall you are steadily improving and making positive progress."
Natsu's face lit up with joy, and he quickly nodded.
“But!” Igniru’s tone shifted!
"Now that a Black Natsu has appeared, he's completely outclassing you in every way, which makes you look like a total loser, understand?"
"How can you be such a useless child of mine, Igneel?"
Natsu deflated once again.
Igneel ignored Natsu's actions and instead looked up at the sky.
As Honez finished speaking, the scene on the sky froze.
[Honatsu's story has come to an end.]
Meanwhile, on the other side, the screen with the white bezel gradually lit up.
Within the World Channel.
Igneel: "This must be showing your footage, right?"
Natsu: "Uh, I think so, anyway, that's how it was before."
Perslogia: "Igneru? Long time no see."
Skyadoram: "You showed up too?"
Grandine: "It seems everyone thinks the same way."
Medalicana: "After all, now that I've been exposed, there's no point in hiding anymore. I might as well come out for some fresh air and talk to someone."
Perslogia: "Yeah, anyway, it's impossible to get out for the time being, but at least I can still talk to these kids and stuff."
"That's not bad."
In the world chat, he looked at the messages from the five giant dragons above.
Countless people were stunned.
Although we knew from the previous celestial veil that the five giant dragons had also come to this era with the Dragon Slayers.
But no one has ever actually seen a dragon.
Therefore, dragons can be considered extremely rare and precious in everyone's mind.
Although we can't see its majestic true form, we can still chat and joke with it on the world channel.
That would be a great honor.
After all, the other party's strength is undeniable. Normally, a super strong person of this level wouldn't be as easy to talk to as they are on the world channel.
Igneel: "The scene is about to start, let's keep watching. I want to see what Natsu is doing during this time that we can't see."
Natsu: "Well, I joined a guild and started training seriously."
Igniru: "Words are useless, watch the video instead."
The scene continues from where the previous video ended.
"Waaaaah... Igneel... Igneel..."
"Where are you? Don't leave me alone... Waaaaah..."
[At the very beginning of the video, even before the image was frozen on the sky, a series of sobbing sounds could be heard.]
As the camera zoomed in, Natsu's figure appeared on the screen.
[Igneel's disappearance, and the complete loss of his scent, seemed to make Natsu realize that Igneel was no longer there.]
He didn't know why this had happened, and could only sit alone under the tree trunk, weeping and waiting.
[Hoping Igneru can return.]
But the truth is cruel; Igneel was no longer able to respond to Natsu's cries.
[Until the sky gradually darkened.]
Natsu's stomach started growling uncontrollably.
Natsu, who had been crying all day, seemed to have finally accepted the truth.
She rubbed her eyes, which were a little swollen from crying.
Natsu got up from the ground, still sobbing intermittently from the aftereffects of crying.
But he still began to take action.
At the very least, one must be able to feed oneself.
Outside the canopy, Igneru, whose face had darkened after listening to the crying for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Not bad, at least they know to look for something to eat."
Mavis: "But it's already dark. At this time, we're bound to encounter danger, aren't we?"
Hades: "Indeed, at this time of year, more predators will come out to roam while the weather is cool."
