The fact that Zeref and Natsu are brothers was sothing known only to those involved in the "Dragon Slayer Plan," even three hundred years ago.
Igneel was the dragon among the participants who had the closest relationship with Natsu, and the Heartfilia family was the only human party in the know. These two were the best shields, so Weston used them directly.
In any case, the current Zeref has no way to verify the truth with them.
Hearing the nas of Igneel and Heartfilia, Zeref’s doubts about Weston vanished instantly.
"So you found out from the clues they left behind..."
"That’s not surprising then!"
Zeref didn’t care what kind of information Igneel and the Heartfilia family had actually left, nor did he care how Weston had obtained it through these two channels.
As long as Weston’s logic was self-consistent, he accepted it as truth.
"But speaking of which, why are you so concerned with my affairs?"
"Investigating all of this isn’t sothing that can be done in just a dozen days. So, you must have investigated my background before I ever ca into contact with Darwin."
"Why is that?"
"Could it be that you are also one of my followers?"
Perhaps because of the ntion of familiar nas like "Natsu," "Igneel," and "Heartfilia," Zeref’s mood beca more relaxed, and he even cracked a joke.
"What are you thinking? Of course not!"
"As a wizard, as the Master of a magic guild, as the Chief Imperial Court Wizard of the Kingdom of Fiore, and as one of the Wizard Saints selected by the Council..."
"Is it not normal for to pay attention to the legendary Black Wizard Zeref?"
"By the way, speaking of which, so of your followers have been restless in the magic world lately!"
"To summon you, they have been slaughtering towns and villages everywhere, burning, killing, and looting ordinary people, even using them for sacrifices and curses, committing nurous cris."
"The Council is having a massive headache over this."
Weston’s gaze gradually beca unfriendly.
However, Zeref only smiled, not only ignoring Weston’s hostile look but speaking with words filled with indifference toward the lives of innocent victims.
"Why tell this?"
"Those foolish and wicked people blindly pursue darkness and imagine various cruel ways to summon , then self-righteously act on it. Can I be blad for that?"
"It’s not like I told them to do it!"
Weston raised an eyebrow: "Do you know what you sound like right now?"
"What?"
"Like a scumbag who pulls up his pants and refuses to take responsibility after sleeping with a woman!"
"I’m truly sorry, I have never slept with a woman, so I cannot emphasize with the feeling you describe."
"Right, right. Still, the fact that you’re an old virgin who has lived for over three hundred years—you don’t need to broadcast that everywhere, do you?"
"I don’t understand your tone or purpose in saying that. Is there sothing worth mocking about it?"
"...Indeed, there isn’t!"
"Hmm..."
The air was silent for several seconds.
Weston suddenly pulled out his Magic Phone, brandished it in the air, and asked, "Want to add as a friend?"
"Eh?!"
Zeref widened his eyes, not expecting Weston to make this decision, but he soon figured out the reason: "What’s wrong, worried your son will be led astray by ?"
Weston glanced at Zeref: "You’re overthinking it. I have plenty of confidence in my child’s judgnt of good and evil!"
"Then why?"
"Add as a friend. If anything big happens in the future, we can share it with each other. Maybe we can even help each other out!"
Helping each other?
What an absurd idea!
But just adding a friend... there didn’t seem to be any harm in it?
Thinking of this, Zeref no longer hesitated and nimbly opened the "Face-to-Face Add" function of the communication app.
After having the Magic Phone for these many days, he was already proficient in using it. He sampled gas, music, manga, and novels every day, but the "Chat" function was the only one he hadn’t used once—because no one had added him!
He originally thought his first friend would be Darwin, but he hadn’t expected to be beaten to it by the "Fairy Commander."
Still, having his first friend made him feel a little excited deep down.
Soon, the two successfully added each other.
Looking at the sentence "You are now friends, start chatting!" on the interface, Zeref was secretly satisfied.
"Update the gas more often in the future."
"Especially simulation managent gas; I quite like those."
Weston was slightly surprised: "Eh? I thought you would prefer military ’Conquest Strategy’ gas. Turns out that’s not it?"
Zeref said: "One ga of that type is enough!"
Weston understood what he ant, and his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
"...True. What military ga could possibly compare to what you’ve done on the Western Continent?"
"But updating gas is a hassle; I might not have the ti!"
Zeref pondered for a few monts: "Then... if I clean up those rampant fanatics lately, you should have ti, right?"
"Oh?!!"
"If that’s the case, I definitely have ti!"
"Then it’s a deal!"
Friends added, deal struck; the two had nothing left to talk about.
Weston stood up and brushed off his pants, preparing to leave, while Zeref lay back down on the ground, ready to continue sleeping.
Just then, a sudden change occurred!
In the clearing not far away, a massive amount of magical power suddenly appeared out of thin air!
The magic instantly dyed the night sky scarlet, and there were faint, strange spatial fluctuations mixed in!
"!!!" ×2
Weston stopped in his tracks imdiately, turned toward the direction of the magic, and went on guard.
Zeref also sat up instantly, looking at the center of the spatial fluctuations with a solemn face.
A few seconds later, the spatial ripples settled, and the scarlet magic dissipated.
A familiar yet disheveled scarlet-haired figure appeared on the grass.
Despite the distance, Weston recognized the newcor by her magical aura, clothes, and the sleeping red-haired little girl in her arms.
"Irene?!"
"Weston?! Why are you here?"
Irene hadn’t expected to run into Weston the mont she teleported back. Just as she was about to say sothing, her gaze was drawn to Zeref on the other side.
In an instant, Irene’s mind raced with wild thoughts. A series of questions surged into her heart, making her chest feel tight with shock.
What’s the situation??
Who is this guy?
In the middle of the night, Weston leaves his two gorgeous wives at ho and runs out to et a pretty boy in secret?
This... this...
There is definitely so major gossip here!
