Chapter 95: Separation
Judging from this trend, if you dare to say no, she will immediately make you look good!
"Hehehe... Erza still understands me!" Kira immediately admitted, "I can only say that Natsu will not turn into a dragon. This is related to the disappearance of dragons. You will know the rest later."
"The disappearance of the dragon? Are you referring to the disappearance of the dragon that raised Natsu seven years ago?"
Kira nodded: "Yes!"
"Do you know where Igneel went?"
Natsu tried hard to suppress his dizziness and confused thoughts and ran over to ask. For so many years, he was very sad because he couldn't find Iguneel anywhere, but from Kira's words, it could be heard that he obviously knew some inside information.
"Tell—ugh—tell me, Kira!"
Kira silently pulled Natsu's hand away, lowered his brows and looked down: "Sorry, Natsu, this is the only thing I can't tell you!"
Do you want me to tell you that Igunelu has been dead for a long time, and his body is no longer there. The one who was chasing us just now is the murderer, but a little bit of his soul still lives in you, and has been spying on you for seven years... No, it has been with you and witnessing your growth?
Isn't that a big loss? Intelligence is also valuable, okay? I've given away enough for free today!
"But Natsu, I can tell you that Igneel is always by your side!"
“…”
In the hearts of everyone in Fairy Tail, Kira's personality is always difficult to describe.
He loves to make sarcastic remarks, likes to leave things unsaid, and always says things that are inexplicable and make people confused; but sometimes he can say something shocking, or get to the point, or say something very gentle, giving people the illusion that he is actually a thoughtful person.
"You said Igneel has always been by my side?"
This sentence obviously whetted Natsu's appetite and also aroused the curiosity of the audience around him, but Kira refused to explain, leaving only riddles such as "This matter involves a lot", "You will understand later", "If you understand, you will understand, and if you don't understand, it will be difficult to explain."
Natsu was so anxious and angry that he had no choice but to lie down again and continue to feel sick.
"But, Kira, how do you know all this?" Lucy asked, "I have never seen this information about dragons in any book."
They did not doubt the correctness of Kira's information, but they were still very curious about the source of the information.
"Of course I have my own sources of intelligence!"
It's useless to say anything!
"This kind of thing should only be known by those who are closely related. Could it be that you have seen other dragons, Kira, and heard about it from them?"
Gildarts also looked at Kira. He was also curious about how Kira knew that.
Even he himself only dealt with dragons for the first time in his life after he received the century-long mission, and confirmed that there were indeed dragons alive in this world.
He didn't even know that if he used dragon-slaying magic too much, he would turn into a dragon.
Could it be that Kira has really seen a dragon?
Kira shook his head in denial: "No, it was only today that I saw a dragon in person for the first time. There aren't many dragons left these days. As far as I know, there are less than 10 alive. How can they be so easy to find?"
“That’s already a lot!”
10? Gildarts' heart sank as he calculated silently.
He knew that Kira must be talking about the five dragons in his mission targets, namely the Water Dragon, Fire Dragon, Wood Dragon, Moon Dragon, and Gold Dragon. The remaining ones include the president who issued the mission, Falong, and Acnorolia, which makes a total of 7.
Thinking of this, Gildarts muttered to himself, "So, there are at most three more?"
Will the Igneel that Natsu is looking for be among them?
Kana, who was closest to him, heard the voice and asked, "What three?"
"No...Nothing...By the way, Kira!"
"Hmm ?" Kira turned his gaze to Gildarts who called him, "What's wrong?"
"Do you know the content of my mission?"
“No… No! What are you talking about? I don’t understand anything, hahahaha…”
His acting was so poor that even a fool could tell he did it on purpose.
'This guy is clearly saying: I know, and I want you to know that I know, but I won't admit it, just to whet your curiosity.'
Gildarts sighed, "Alright, I know your attitude, no need to act."
"If you know, then know. I don't care how you know. But, you must not tell anyone about the mission, and don't do it alone."
Hearing him say this, Kira agreed and said loudly: "I know! You are right, the Five Divine Dragons are still too strong. I am no match for the dragons now."
Gildarts: "..."
I told you not to tell anyone, you little brat!
Kira's voice was loud and caused a lot of discussion.
"What?! So Gildarts's mission is really related to dragons?"
"Could it be the Dragon Slayer?"
"Want to fight against a being like Acnorolia?"
"There are five dragons?"
Natsu's hope was rekindled: "Will they--oo--they...have any...news...about Igneel?"
Really, Kira doesn't want Natsu to go on the 100-year mission now, does he? Natsu doesn't have the ability to fight a dragon yet, so he'd just die!
If he could, Gildarts really wanted to get up and beat up Kira, but unfortunately he was seriously injured and could only reluctantly say, "Natsu, calm down!"
Fortunately, even he himself didn't know where the dragons were, so he could only wander around several continents and try his luck.
'Although I know he's joking, it seems that Kira really intends to let Natsu do the Hundred Years Mission in the future. But as long as it's not now, it's fine. Besides, Kira probably doesn't know the exact location of the Five Dragons now...right?'
"Damn it! It's hard to say!"
Seeing Gildarts suddenly staring at Kira fiercely, the others fell silent for a while. They knew Kira must have done something to make Gildarts angry, and it was probably related to the Hundred Years Mission. Gildarts seemed to have said before that he had signed a confidentiality agreement...
After thinking about it, I finally let my sense of responsibility overwhelm my curiosity.
Since a confidentiality agreement has been signed with the client, Gildarts cannot tell anyone about the mission, and they should not ask too many questions, otherwise it will affect the reputation of Fairy Tail.
…
In the end, Gildarts did not return to the guild, but got off the airship midway.
"Gildarts, if you want to continue this mission, please take me with you! Please!"
Hearing Natsu's request, Gildarts just shook his head, "No, I have had almost no news in the past three years, and now this has happened. I can't go on any longer."
"Then why don't you return to the guild?"
"Huh... You have to finish what you start! I still have to go back and tell my client, so I won't go back with you guys for now. Let's go back to the guild and have a good rest later!"
"But your injury..."
"It's okay. Just rest for a while and you'll be fine. By the time I find the client, you'll probably be fully recovered."
Also getting off the airship here were Winter and tavern uncle Poole.
"We want to travel around the mainland anyway, so let's go with this uncle. He seems to be very experienced in traveling, and there will be someone to take care of him if his wound relapses during the trip."
Of course, the Fairy Tail members had no objection to this.
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
"Kana!"
Before leaving, Gildarts suddenly called Kana, and Kira felt that his face was full of seriousness and confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Gildarts remained silent and looked at her quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Until Kana blushed a little, he smiled and said: "It's nothing, you have to take care of yourself!"
The long-lost, long-awaited care made Kana seem a little overwhelmed: "Hmm... Hmm!"
"Goodbye!"
