Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars - Chapter 252: This Is Not a Dragon’s Egg
Chapter 252: This Is Not a Dragon’s Egg
In the Fairy Tail Guild…
“Everyone, I found the dragon egg…”
Natsu held the blue and white egg, which was larger than a watermelon, and rushed into the guild. Then, he raised it high and shouted as if he was showing off.
“Dragon egg?”
Gray, who was wearing underwear, looked up at the huge ‘dragon egg’ that Natsu reported to the guild. He frowned. Although Gray had never seen the appearance of the dragon egg, Gray’s intuition told him that the egg in front of him was not a dragon egg. It was not because of anything else, but because it was an egg picked up by the person he hated the most, Natsu.
“Are you lying? How could it be a dragon egg…”
Gray sat on a chair and spoke to Natsu in disdain.
“This is a dragon egg…”
“Hehe, are you jealous? Gray!”
“You are jealous that I have a dragon egg!”
Natsu first emphasized that the egg in his hand was a dragon egg. Then he seemed to think of something. He looked at Gray and smiled.
“Nonsense…”
“How could I be jealous?”
Gray’s face turned red when he heard this. He looked at Natsu and said angrily.
“Hehe, I knew you were jealous of me…”
“It doesn’t matter, Gray. If you are jealous, you can tell me…”
“As long as you tell me, Big Brother Natsu, I also want to see the appearance of a dragon. Then I can choose to hatch this egg with you…”
Natsu smiled at Gray and spoke to Gray in a cheap tone.
“Who, who wants to see a dragon? I am not interested in dragons! Bastard…”
Gray’s face became even redder. He turned around and no longer paid attention to Natsu.
“Dragon egg? Really?”
“Natsu, you didn’t make it yourself, did you?”
At this time, Mirajane was also attracted by the egg in Natsu’s hand. She looked at the egg with blue and white patterns and raised her eyebrows. There was a trace of disbelief in her eyes.
“Of course it’s true! I picked it up from the tree forest…”
Natsu looked straight at Mirajane and said seriously.
“Sister Mirajane, this egg was really picked up by Natsu in the woods. At that time, both I and Gildarts were there.”
At this time, Lisanna came out to testify for Natsu. She confirmed that Natsu’s egg was indeed picked up in the woods.
“Eh So it was really picked up by you? But this can’t be called a dragon egg, right?”
After hearing Lisanna’s words, Mirajane was stunned for a moment. After Mirajane heard her sister’s words, she finally believed in Natsu. However, Mirajane did not expect that this egg, which looked very rare, was really picked up by Natsu in the tree forest. After all, Natsu usually looked silly, not like someone who had great luck.
“Hehe, I told you that I picked it up. I believe that this is a dragon egg.”
Natsu chuckled and said confidently at the same time.
“Although I don’t know if this is a dragon egg, Natsu, this egg is indeed alive.”
When Erza closed her eyes and she could faintly hear the faint sound of a heartbeat coming from the egg.
Thus, Erza opened her eyes and told everyone the results she had confirmed
“It really is a living egg!”
“How magical…”
“I didn’t think that there would really be an egg of a dragon in this world…”
As Erza finished speaking, the other members of the guild also walked towards Natsu. Everyone stood in front of Natsu, looking at the huge egg in front of them and commenting.
“I feel like this is a dragon egg…”
“Nonsense, you haven’t seen a dragon egg before. How do you know that he is a dragon egg? I just feel that he doesn’t look like…”
“You haven’t seen a dragon egg before. How do you know it’s not a dragon egg?”
“You want to fight, right”
“You were the one who started the fight, right? Moreover, I’m not afraid of you…”
Some guild members started fighting each other because of Natsu’s egg and whether or not the dragon egg was a dragon egg.
“It’s open! Let’s bet that the egg that Natsu picked up belongs to the dragon egg. Let’s buy red!”
“Let’s bet that the egg that Natsu picked up doesn’t belong to the dragon egg. Let’s bet on blue!”
The good old gambling dogs opened today’s dog killing game amidst waves of shouts.
“That must be the dragon egg. I bet ten thousand Jewels on the dragon egg!”
The old gambling dog narrowed his eyes and directly bet 10,000 Jewels on the dragon egg.
“What a joke, it definitely isn’t a dragon egg. I bet it isn’t a dragon egg!”
Macao frowned. He didn’t feel that the egg in front of him didn’t look like a dragon egg either. It was just that Wakaba had bought this egg. Based on Macao’s experience, it would be stable if he bought it in reverse with Wakaba.
“No, we were just talking nonsense. If you insist that it isn’t a dragon egg, then he wouldn’t be able to tell if it is a dragon egg at all. So I suggest that we ask professionals to judge…” ÚpTodated 𝒏ov𝒆ls on 𝒏o(v)𝒆l()bin(.)c𝒐m
Wakaba was not convinced. He had a cigarette in his mouth as he smoked and spoke unhappily.
“That makes sense!”
The group of gamblers nodded in agreement.
Even Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Mirajane were filled with curiosity towards Natsu, this so-called ‘dragon egg’.
Therefore, all the gamblers turned their heads and looked at Cana, who was practicing card magic.
“I won’t do divination for you.”
Cana felt the gazes of everyone and frowned. She did not contact divination magic to help these people gamble!
“Tsk…”
Therefore, the group of gambling dogs could only helplessly turn their heads.
“Damn it, as long as Cana joins us, we can move unhindered through the casino.”
Wakaba looked unwilling. He did not have the talent of card magic, otherwise he would have to learn card magic.
“Don’t teach the children bad.”
After hearing what Wakaba said, he didn’t know why, but he felt that something was wrong, so he reminded Wakaba.
“Take care of yourself first! Uncle…”
However, what he said didn’t have any educational significance. Instead, it was counterproductive, and he was rebuked by everyone in the guild.
“Haha…”
In this regard, Gildarts only smiled awkwardly. Just as everyone had said, he really couldn’t even control himself.
However, with the reminder from Gildarts, the members of the guild no longer asked Cana for help. After all, just like what Gildarts said, they couldn’t lead the children astray…
“So we can only let Kurnugi come, right?”
“I remember that guy claiming to be a dragon, right?”
“Let the dragon determine whether this egg is a dragon egg or not…”
Thus, under the shouts of the crowd, the so-called professionals, the so-called dragon known as Kurnugi, came to the guild.
“Blargh! Why did you call me here?”
As soon as Kurnugi entered the guild, he looked at the crowd and asked arrogantly.
“Big Brother Kurnugi, I picked up a dragon egg…”
Although Natsu was already a few centimeters taller than Kurnugi, he still habitually called Kurnugi big brother. At this moment, he held the dragon egg in his arms and ran directly towards Kurnugi.
“Dragon egg Let me see…”
Kurnugi was stunned. Then he ran to Natsu and picked up the blue and white egg in Natsu’s arms and smelled it.
“Gulp…”
As Kurnugi picked up the egg in Natsu’s hand, everyone in the guild who had participated in the gamble became nervous. Everyone was waiting for Kurnugi to make a decision.
“Sniff… Sniff… Sniff…”
Kurnugi was holding the giant egg in front of him, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with a complicated look.
“Is this a dragon egg?”
A member of the guild looked at the frown on his face and felt extremely nervous. After hesitating for a while, they couldn’t help but ask.
“Are you a fool? Of course this isn’t a dragon egg! How can there be such a small dragon egg in this world? Moreover, the taste isn’t right. I can tell at a glance.”
Kurnugi held the egg in his hand and frowned when he heard the question.
“Eh? Isn’t this a dragon egg?”
When everyone in the guild heard Kurnugi’s words, they were stunned. Originally, they thought that this was really a dragon egg when they saw the complicated expression on Kurnugi’s face.
“Hahaha, do you see that? This is not a dragon egg! Alright, we can settle it now…”
It was also after Kurnugi determined that the egg that Natsu picked up was not a dragon egg that Makarov and the other gamblers who bet that Natsu’s egg was not a dragon egg all held their heads high and prepared to split the money.
“Wait, the victor has yet to be decided!”
However, with Wakaba in the lead, they thought that the eggs in Natsu’s arms were the gambling dogs of the dragon egg and refused to admit defeat. They still planned to take the final gamble.
“Hey! Don’t tell me you guys can’t afford to play?”
Macao immediately frowned and looked at Wakaba.
“It’s not that I can’t afford to play, but I have a few questions I want to ask Kurnugi…”
Wakaba’s face turned serious. Yes, he just couldn’t afford to play. That was his last money, so he absolutely could not lose.
“Ask away!”
Kurnugi didn’t care because he didn’t gamble either.
“Since you can tell at a glance, why are you still sniffing around?”
Wakaba asked a very crucial question.
“Is there a need to ask? Of course it’s because…”
Kurnugi had a relaxed expression as he explained.
As soon as he opened his mouth, all the members of the guild became nervous because this was their last chance to turn things around.
“It smells delicious…”
“Since it is not a dragon egg, can you give it to me?”
Kurnugi opened his bloody mouth, and saliva flowed out of it.
“Of course not, give it back to me!”
Natsu did not expect that Kurnugi would actually want to eat the egg that he had picked up with great difficulty. Even if this egg was not a dragon egg, Natsu still wanted to hatch the egg. Moreover, Natsu firmly believed that this was a dragon egg.
“Tsk… So stingy, I will continue to sleep…”
When Kurnugi heard that Natsu was unwilling, he could only throw the egg to Natsu. He himself had his hands behind his head and walked towards the arena. It was his special bed.
“You heard it too, right? This isn’t a dragon egg. Alright, stop struggling. Hurry up and settle the money…”
Makarov and the others smiled smugly as they looked at Wakaba and the others.
“Wait, what if Kurnugi smelled wrong?”
“That’s right, that’s right. In the end, it’s just a one-sided statement from Kurnugi!”
“Only when the egg really hatches and the creature inside the egg breaks out can we confirm its authenticity!”
“That’s right, that’s right…”
Although Wakaba and the others knew that they had probably lost, it didn’t matter. Their mouths were hard!
“Bastard…”
The most infuriating thing was that Macao and the others were still helpless, because what Wakaba and the others said was indeed reasonable.
“Natsu, did you hear that? This is not a dragon egg at all…”
Gray looked at Natsu and laughed.
“It hasn’t hatched yet. No one knows whether it is a dragon egg or not!”
“Moreover, even if it really isn’t a dragon egg, it doesn’t matter. I will still raise it. This is the egg I picked up.”
Natsu also spoke with a stiff voice. However, unlike Wakaba and the others, Natsu still believed that his egg was a dragon egg. Moreover, even if it really wasn’t a dragon egg, Natsu still had to hatch and raise the creatures inside.
Because in Natsu’s eyes, this egg was an egg bestowed to him by the heavens…
