Maybe at some point in the future.
This seed will grow into a towering tree that goes straight to the land of dreams.
————
In a clearing beside the river that runs through the town of Magnonia.
The cherry-blossom-haired boy seemed to be lying here unconscious.
His whole body was covered with dust and bruises.
(blank)⑥⒐⑧9⒉5⑧50
The boy's name was Naz Dragneel.
In the duel with Gray just now.
Natsu and Gray arrived together, but unfortunately,
Gray stood up first.
And this also means that Natsu lost to Gray in this battle.
On the **** above the clearing.
The black-haired man, swollen into a pig's head with blood hanging from his forehead, knelt weakly on the ground.
He's Natsu in some disguise from the future.
There was no winner in the battle with Gray in the future just now.
But because young Gray won,
So much so that the future Gray also proudly took Hubby to enjoy the food.
Naz did not go with him in the future.
At this moment, he looked at the figure below and muttered words.
"I...I actually lost to Gray?" He trembled all over.
It seems that such an ending is unacceptable.
The arms that were on the ground were clenched tightly.
"Impossible, impossible, how could I lose to Gray!"
Future Natsu stood up and rushed straight to the young Natsu.
"I don't accept it!" He yelled angrily.
"Get up quickly, me!" While speaking, he was shaking the unconscious young Natsu crazily.
"You haven't lost yet!"
"Hurry up, how can you give up like this?!"
"Fight one more time, beat Gray, me!"
Looking at the young Natsu who didn't respond at all.
Future Natsu was completely overwhelmed by anger.
He raised his arm: "I'll cheer you up!"
Snapped--!
He waved his palm without hesitation.
Hit the young Natsu in the face.
Even if the person in front of you is yourself.
"Get up!!"
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa! !
A series of slaps slapped the young Natsu **** the face.
Future Natsu snarled:
"O-la-o-la-o!!"
"Well…"
The young Natsu who had fallen into a coma was awakened alive,
Slowly opened his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the nightmare that would accompany him for the rest of his life.
It was a red eye,
The long mouth showed rows of sharp teeth.
The blood hanging under the black hair raised the ferocity of the person in front of him to the extreme.
"Oh!!"
"Monster!!"
The young Natsu let out a terrified scream,
Even the corners of his eyes were filled with tears from fear.
"What's the matter with calling yourself a monster?"
Future Natsu clenched his fists, trembling with anger.
"I...I don't know what you're talking about..."
The young Natsu stood up in horror.
The scarf around his neck also slipped off because of his movements.
But the young Natsu didn't pay the slightest attention.
The flames gathered in the hands of the young Natsu,
But because of fear,
So much so that the names of the moves were shouted intermittently.
With flames, the young Natsu swung his right hand.
"It's useless, idiot!" Future Natsu slapped away the young Natsu's attack.
The palm that bounced back under the force inevitably moved towards the neck of the young Natsu.
The thumbnail directly scratched the neck.
Caused a **** wound.
"Yeah—"
The young Natsu let out a miserable howl.
"Huh?" Future Natsu suddenly understood.
He touched his neck.
There is a scar that is exactly the same as the neck of the young Natsu.
He looked at his clothes and stroked his hair.
Future Natsu finally understood.
The childhood monster that I have always feared...
It turned out to be me?
The scar on the neck was also caused by himself?
"Natsu!" A roar came from not far away.
"Huh?" The two Naz turned their heads together.
He looked at the three people and one cat who stirred up countless dust in the distance.
"Stand there and don't move!" Erza yelled.
"Five!" Luo Xingchen, who was behind them, looked at the clock in his hand and said.
"Who are you all?" The young Natsu covered his neck.
With tears in his eyes, he grabbed his scarf and ran away.
"Four!" Luo Xingchen's tone became a little anxious.
Happy was the first to throw himself into Natsu's arms.
"Three!" Luo Xingchen watched several people.
Immediately afterwards, Erza grabbed Natsu's hair.
The accompanying impact caused Naz to fall directly to the ground.
"Two!" Luo 673 Xingchen raised his voice.
Lucy grabbed Natsu's cuff desperately.
"One!" Luo Xingchen's hand unconsciously squeezed the pocket watch to pieces.
Gray suddenly flew up.
After crossing a short distance of one meter, he stepped on Natsu's body.
"Ugh... what happened?"
Future Natsu screamed.
While asking aloud.
"Goodbye, everyone." Luo Xingchen heaved a sigh of relief.
hum...
Purple light began to spread from Natsu's body.
Until it covers everyone's body.
brush! !
The light fades away completely,
And the bodies of several people also disappeared in front of Luo Xingchen.
"Speaking of...if I tell Makarov about the book and let him strengthen the seal again..."
"Will something like this happen again?"
Seeing the disappearing figures of several people, Luo Xingchen murmured.
Then, though, he shook his head again.
This question is difficult to judge.
If so.
That would be a change to the established facts.
For example, Nazi's childhood shadow is himself,
The scar on the neck is also caused by the future self.
There are some other butterfly effects as well.
If it does change...
So will everything that is going on now be like this?
"Time...let's let nature take its course."
After murmuring softly, Luo Xingchen turned around.
The slightly cold night breeze blew the ends of his hair....
