Chapter 2145: Just like that?

Chapter 2145: Just like that?

Haru and Irene had decided to date each other under a probation period.

Irene would observe whether she could entrust her life to Haru until she was satisfied, but then, she wondered why she felt that she had fallen for his trap?

‘It might be my imagination?’

Irene shook her head, but then she asked, “What are you going to do now?”

“Well, I will help Zeref to pass away,” Haru said as he observed Irene’s reaction. After all, before she met Zeref and learned Enchant Magic, her body had always been in the Dragon Form, and she had been living as a dragon. It could be said that she had owed a lot of things to Zeref since he was the one who had helped her to get her human body back.

Haru thought that Irene might try to stop him, but unexpectedly…

“Can you?” Irene frowned and asked, “You should know that Zeref is an immortal, right?”

“…….”

Haru stared weirdly at Irene, which caused her to frown. “What’s wrong?”

“No, I thought that you might try to stop me.” Haru shook his head and said, “After all, Zeref has helped you a lot, right?”

Irene smiled and said, “It’s because he has helped me that I know what he wants in this life.”

Haru looked at Irene, who smiled cutely and thought that Zeref was really a lolicon. After all, there was such a charming woman beside Zeref all the time, and if Zeref decided to chase after Irene, then without a doubt, Irene would fall, but Zeref still chose Mavis Vermilion as his lover, showing that he loved the petite body of Mavis.

Still, Mavis was a legal loli, so there was no need to worry, and she was even pregnant in the past.

Unfortunately, Zeref didn’t know, which made Haru could only sigh.

“I know His Majesty’s purpose to get the One Magic is to destroy this world, so he creates his own world where he can die with his loved one,” Irene said calmly.

“You’re alright with that?” Haru asked curiously, wondering how this woman could be so calm even though she knew what Zeref had planned.

“Yes.” Irene nodded and said, “After all, I don’t have much attachment in this world.” Her life had been nothing but misery, and she had always been under constant torture, especially after she had mastered the Dragon Slayer magic. Her body slowly changed into a dragon, then her husband, family, and all other people, who knew that she had become a dragon, directly hated her and even wanted to execute her. Luckily, she was strong, or else she would die.

Irene kept thinking about how to become a human and thought to put her soul on her daughter’s body in her womb, but she couldn’t bear the thought of killing her daughter, so in the end, she just lived with a dragon body.

When Irene didn’t meet Zeref, she thought that her life would be like this, spending her time alone in the jungle where there was no one until she learned the Enchant Magic. Still, even if she could become a human, she still knew that her original body was still a dragon, and it might be because of obsession that she kept trying to get her human body, but after that?

After Irene had become a human, what would she do?

Irene knew that she didn’t have a direction, she had lost her family, and she also didn’t love anyone. As for love, she also didn’t have an expectation for it, especially when she had been betrayed by her husband in the past, but this time, the chance to fall in love with someone appeared once again.

If Haru didn’t know about her original body, then she would ignore him, but he knew about her original body and even accepted her. This made her happy, and she thought that there was hope for her, especially when she thought that she could create her own family, but then, she didn’t expect this guy would be a scumbag.

Still, before Irene was going to accept his courting, she wanted to see how her relationship with his women was. After all, she wasn’t a naive woman who would fall for someone so easily, but more importantly, she wanted to see his real personality, wondering how he was going to treat her woman.

“If you’re okay with it, then let’s go to Zeref now,” Haru said and went to the location of Zeref. Tabane had shared the location of Zeref with him, so he just needed to go there.

However…

“Eh? Right now?” Irene was dumbfounded. She thought that Haru was going to make some preparations, but this guy just walked to meet Zeref as if he was going to visit his friend?

‘Just like that? There’s no need for any special preparations or anything?’

“Well, yeah, right now.” Haru nodded plainly.

“…Can you show some tension? You’re going to face Zeref, you know?” Irene was speechless.

“Um, yeah.” Haru looked weirdly at Irene and asked, “Still, what kind of tense should I show? You should know I defeat Acnologia so easily. Why should I tense when I face an enemy who is weaker than me?”

“………”

His reason was so reasonable that Irene couldn’t refute him at all, but it was normal. After all, she had always thought of Zeref as a strong magician that she couldn’t defeat, but in Haru’s eyes, Zeref was just no different from those ordinary magicians that she could kill anytime.

Irene nodded and thought that it wouldn’t be bad to become his woman.

‘Wait?! What am I thinking?!’

Irene furiously shook her head, and her face turned as scarlet as her hair.

Haru smiled and kissed Irene’s cheek.

“…You!” Irene was startled, blushed, then furiously asked, “Why did you kiss me again?!”

“Sorry, sorry, I thought you were cute,” Haru said with a smile.

“………….”

‘Dammit!’

Irene somehow felt that Haru’s smile was simply unfair since his smile was so pure and sincere that it could melt her dragon heart.

As they kept talking, they heard a loud explosion, and Irene saw a scene that made her dumbfounded. She saw a huge area covered in explosions, and everything in the surrounding area had turned into ruin because of the explosion.

“This…”

Haru didn’t say anything about Irene’s reaction and said, “Tabane, I’ll take care of the rest.”

“Mooo! You’re too long! Did you seduce that woman before you came here?”

“………”

Haru and Irene couldn’t say anything.

“Cough! Cough! The fight with Acnologia was too fierce. That dragon is stronger than I’d thought,” Haru said calmly.

“………” Irene only stared at Haru in silence, but then she wondered where this female voice came from.

“Stop the attack. I’ll take care of Zeref now,” Haru said, changing the subject of the conversation directly.

“Okay, okay, let me talk with your new woman after this,” Tabane said.

“……….” Haru and Irene.

Tabane stopped the attack of the Infinite Stratos, and Zeref, who had been freed, also recovered while wondering whether his enemy’s energy had ended, but then he felt a terror from behind, and when he was about to run, suddenly he felt that his body turned into dust and dissipated into steam.

However, there was still his soul, and Zeref thought that he would recover again, but he didn’t expect that he would ascend to the sky, which made her dumbfounded.

‘I’m dead?’

Just like this?

It was so anticlimactic that Zeref was still dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say, but he knew that he had died, and somehow, there was only peace in his heart. He turned in Haru’s direction, who was hugging Irene, before he said, “Thank you.”

“………” Haru felt weird when he was thanked after he killed that person. Anyway, the quests ended, but there was one thing that he needed to do since he saw Esdeath, Jeanne, Tsunade, Shinobu, Charlotte, Tabane, Sumire, and Brandish walking in his direction.

“Er….”

There was only one question on his head at this moment.

‘Why do they appear so fast?!’
