Chapter 25: Eileen and Uru's First Clash~
"Ara~"
"You actually dared to ask me to treat your daughter, whom you had with another man? What an audacious man you are!"
"However, since you provided such important information about 'Devil Fruits,' I might as well help you out."
Eileen glanced at Id with a half-smile, then said something that didn't quite mean her.
Eileen entrusted her daughter to Id because she had glimpsed Id's kind and loyal nature through magic.
"grateful."
After receiving Eileen's reply, Ide held Eileen's daughter in his arms and stared at Eileen as a sign of respect.
"There's no time to lose."
Let's go.
"Go and save your daughter."
As Eileen spoke, she began to move her limbs and do warm-up exercises. Four hundred years of seclusion as a dragon had almost made her forget how humans walk.
"it is good."
As for Ide, he breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that everything was going as he had expected.
In fact, after Ide was instantly defeated by Eileen and realized the gap between himself and Eileen, he knew that beneath Eileen's crazy exterior lay a kind heart.
Given the strength Eileen displayed, enough to instantly kill him, if Eileen wanted to, not a single villager would leave the jungle behind the town of Rosmarine alive, let alone any news of someone witnessing a dragon in the mountains.
"Speaking of which, Eileen."
"Are we just leaving like this?"
"Seriously, shouldn't we say hello to Zeref?"
Id followed Eileen's footsteps and walked for a while in the woods before he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to say goodbye to Jelf.
To be honest, Zeref gave Ido a very strange feeling. Whether it was Observation Haki or magic detection, Ido could not see the depth of Zeref's abilities.
According to Ide's deduction, if nothing unexpected happens, the boy named Zeref is also a monster whose strength is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of Eileen.
"Need not."
Eileen strode ahead, shaking her head without turning back, and said in a cool voice, "Consider this a warning: don't be deceived by the delicate appearance of that black-haired boy."
"That guy is no good! If you see him outside in the future, you must do everything you can to stay away from him, or your life will be in danger."
Eileen's words were filled with her fear of Jelf.
"I see."
Ide followed behind Eileen, nodding gently.
Just as he expected, the black-haired boy named Zeref was no pushover either.
Not long after.
Eileen and Ide finally arrived in the town of Rosmarie.
"Id, are you alright?"
The moment Ido approached the town, Uru, who was dozing in the inn with Ulutia in her arms, sensed the immense magical power within Ido. She immediately woke up, picked up the sleeping Ulutia, and rushed to the edge of the town to welcome Ido's return.
"It's fine."
Id looked at Uru, who was rushing towards him, and said with a smile.
"It doesn't look like it's injured, so I'm relieved."
When Uru saw that Ide, though covered in mud, didn't show many signs of a fight, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, which gradually eased her tension.
"So let me explain, Id."
"And who are this child, and this woman?"
After confirming that Ide was safe, Uru turned her gaze to the adorable baby in Ide's arms and the red-haired woman who had come out of the back mountain with Ide.
"Well."
Cold sweat beaded on Id's forehead. He felt a sense of danger approaching, and the consequences of a poor explanation were unimaginable.
"Hello there."
"My name is Erin, Erin Belserion."
"The daughter in Id's arms is our daughter."
Before Id could speak, Eileen extended her hand to Uru and introduced herself with a smile.
"Uru".
"Uru Mirkovic".
Uru, of course, saw through Eileen's provocation. She remained calm, shook hands with Eileen lightly, and said directly, "You mean that child is your and Id's daughter? That's quite interesting. I've never heard of anyone going from pregnancy to childbirth in just one day."
"Ha ha."
"How can you be so sure that you met Id first, and not that I met Id first?"
Eileen chuckled softly, looked at Uru, and continued to ask.
"hehe."
"I'm quite confident about who knew Id first, you or me."
Uru smiled back naturally, brimming with confidence that she had known Id before Eileen.
"Senior Eileen."
"About my daughter..."
Ide looked at Eileen, who was arguing with Uru, sighed helplessly, and urged her on.
"alright."
"I'm not joking anymore."
Eileen glanced back at Ide before turning her gaze to the baby in Uru's arms, and said softly, "Hehe, this child truly lives up to her reputation as an heir to Ide's bloodline. She's far more outstanding than you, Uru."
"That's natural."
Uru didn't refute anything; she simply took it as Eileen praising her daughter's excellence.
"However, for babies, excessive talent is just a burden."
"Fortunately, you met me today, otherwise this child's future would probably be full of crises, and he would have stumbled and fallen all the way up."
As Eileen spoke, she placed her fingers on Ultear's body and whispered, "Separation."
"boom!"
The moment Eileen finished speaking, the unusually large amount of magic power within Ultear was immediately separated from her body.
"seal."
Then, Eileen sealed this immense magical power and returned it to Ultear's body.
After Eileen finished doing all this, she looked at Uru and Id and smiled, "Alright, I've dealt with the magic in this child's body! From now on, this magic will gradually unseal as the child grows until her body is strong enough to fully withstand it."
"Eileen, please allow me to thank you again for your help to my daughter."
Ide approached Uru, and after confirming that the magic within the daughter in Uru's arms had stabilized, he thanked Eileen again.
"No problem."
Eileen didn't answer, she just slightly raised her chin.
"Eileen, thank you for your help to our family."
After learning that Eileen had been invited by Ide to treat her daughter, Uru repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
"stop."
"Uru, you don't need to thank me."
"After all, it wasn't without cost for me to save your daughter."
Eileen declined Uru's thanks, her eyes gleaming with a mocking light, and said with a chuckle.
