Their intelligence is also quite good.
The problem has been that I haven't found a research direction yet.
Of course, a big reason for this is that Eileen in this world is already old.
The dragonification was already deeply ingrained in her body.
Therefore, even if the method Hennaz suggested were truly effective, it would be unusable for Irene, who had already completed her dragon transformation.
The method proposed by Hazen was primarily used when the Dragon Seed had not yet fully grown and spread throughout the body.
Therefore, Eileen's fate in this world was already predetermined.
However, Eileen, from the underworld, found a new path.
Henaz has already pointed out a clear research direction for Irene.
Now it's up to Eileen to see what her research findings are.
If possible, Erin from the Dark World might become the first Dragon Slayer Mage in history to successfully become immune to the side effects of dragonification.
An unnamed place.
Zeref stared blankly at Black Natsu in the sky.
His expression seemed to be starting to become somewhat dazed.
Looking at Black Natsu's confident demeanor as he spoke eloquently, and seeing the brilliance of wisdom emanating from him.
Jelf seemed to see his own reflection in the image.
He saw himself four hundred years ago, when he was researching life and death in order to revive his younger brother.
A slight smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of his lips.
A smile appeared on the dark mage's face.
But then, it turned into a bitter taste.
Jelf wanted to proudly tell the whole world that such a smart and talented person was his own younger brother.
But, unfortunately, that was his younger brother from another world.
Strictly speaking, he has no connection whatsoever with Zeref in this world.
And this world...
Thinking back to my younger brother, who was all muscle and brains and always doing silly things.
Jelf couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
Sometimes, one can't help but wonder if fate is fair, having bestowed all its wisdom upon his elder brother.
He left his intellectual disability to his mentally challenged younger brother.
Just then, Zeref keenly noticed Natsu's speech on the sky.
Natsu: "By the way, you guys seem pretty surprised. What exactly did I say in that other world?"
"What... dragon transformation... crystals... seeds and all that, what exactly are they?"
"This is so mind-bending."
Everyone: "..."
Ultear: "You've been listening for so long, you don't even know what a Dragon Seed is?"
Natsu: "I didn't understand..."
Jelf's face darkened further.
Why is there such a big difference when they are clearly the same person?
So big!!!
Jelf's heart was roaring and howling, but more than anything, he felt utterly powerless.
In the end, it could only turn into a long sigh.
This silly younger brother, sigh... it's a long story!
……
……
The images in the sky continued to appear.
Time seemed to have been fast-forwarded.
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
On this day, Henna finally told Irene his intention to leave.
Despite her deep reluctance, Eileen was still very understanding.
The Fire Dragon King's words still echoed in Eileen's mind.
Therefore, she did not try to persuade her to stay.
She smiled and agreed to Henna's statement that he would come to find her soon.
However, as they were parting, Irene couldn't help but call out to Henna.
"Is there anything else?"
Black Natsu, who had slung his bag over his shoulder, stopped and turned to look at Irene.
Eileen's hands were nervously tugging at the hem of her clothes, and her expression was somewhat unnatural.
He asked hesitantly, "Um... you won't forget me next time we meet, will you?"
Seemingly amused by Irene's question, Black Natsu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"What are you talking about?"
"My memory isn't so bad that I'd forget something this important, is it?"
"The days I spent with you were so happy; they are treasures in my memory, so don't worry, I will never forget them."
Hearing this answer, Eileen felt a surge of joy.
At this moment, the weight that had been hanging over her heart was finally lifted, and she seemed ready to fight against the long passage of time.
Instead of fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, she straightened her back.
[Looking at Black Natsu: "Then you'd better remember what you said, and next time we meet, I'll give you a big surprise!"]
"Huh? What's the surprise?"
"I won't tell you," Eileen smiled sweetly.
But this made Eileen, watching from outside the screen, unable to resist closing her eyes.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to unleash a furious tirade.
But in the end, I held back.
After a moment of silence, she said with a hint of helplessness.
"I can't stand it anymore, you can see for yourselves."
Having said that, he ignored the twelve shields around him and left the meeting room alone.
So shameful.
It's so embarrassing! How could I, in that other world, act like such a timid, submissive woman?
In that case, where would she put her face as the strongest woman in the empire?
That expression was something Eileen had never shown in over four hundred years, and no one had ever seen it.
As a result, the whole world now knows what Eileen, who is in a state of romantic fantasy, really looks like.
How is this still playing?
My dignity, prestige, and all that I, Eileen, have been utterly destroyed!
Therefore, of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best.
Honez eventually left.
Irene stood outside the city gates of the royal capital, watching Black Natsu's departing figure.
[Even until they completely disappear, they have no intention of returning.]
The sky was gradually darkening.
[Besserion's voice came from behind.]
"Your Majesty, the person has already left. How much longer are you going to stand here?"
"You haven't eaten anything yet, have you?"
Eileen gently shook her head, not answering Belserion's question, but instead turning to look at the giant dragon.
"Na, Berserion, do you think... people who have parted will truly reunite?"
Berzelion spoke without hesitation, his voice firm and resolute.
