- Fairy Tail World, X400's-
---------While Haru and Irene are walking through the deep forest as Haru's Hamon flickering around him, the plants, animals and trees are reviving on his surroundings.
The black miasma that killing the forest was being purified by Hamon making it disappeared. Instead the bloomed with different kinds of beautiful flowers.
Walking forward, they saw Zeref resting under the biggest which is already dying.
"Haru, that's Zeref... He turned me back in my human form."
Haru has indifferent expression while looking at Zeref.
The two of them went towards him.
When Zeref noticed them,
"Ugh..."
He held his head in pain.
"You're..."
"Zeref! I'll introduce you... This is my husband and his name is Haru."
Irene gladly introduced her husband.
Haru stared at Zeref for a moment then he slightly bowed,
"Thank you for helping my wife, Zeref."
Irene smiled at them.
"Please don't mind it and leave me alone! It's dangerous if you stayed with me for long!"
Zeref warned them as black miasma came out from his body.
"Oh, you mean this... deadly miasma?"
Haru swiped his hand imbued with Hamon on the black miasma and it disappeared.
"Don't worry about me. God's curse like this don't work on me."
Zeref's widened in surprise.
"Ugh!"
He's suffering from headache again.
"What's happening to him, Haru? We need to help him!"
"Don't touch him, Irene!"
"Huh?"
"You'll die if you get near him."
Irene cautiously move away from him.
"Curse of Contradiction, or so called the Ankhseram Curse. Ankhseram is a God worshiped in Ancient Capital City who rules over life and death. Anyone who dared contort the balance between life and death will be cursed terribly by this magic."
Haru squatted down, trying move close his index finger towards Zeref's chest.
"The curse immortalizes the victim and causes them to uncontrollably exude a black miasma that instantaneously kills all life it touches. The only way to stop this is for the victim to forget the value of life." he explained.
Haru's finger stopped as black miasma gathers close to Zeref's chest.
The black miasma is preventing Haru from touching him.
"See! Even God Ankhseram is being wary of me."
He retreated his hand standing up.
He opened his dimensional storage and took out a basket of fruits then he placed it beside Zeref.
"Let's go, Irene."
Haru walked away.
"Wait, Haru! What about him?"
"He'll be fine... Seem like he's in pain the more I get closer to him. It might because of my Hamon and Sunshine that causing him pain."
Zeref was breathing heavily, looking tired.
Irene has no other choice but leave Zeref alone.
"Thanks again!"
She bowed then followed after Haru as she grabbed his hand in a way of showing love and affection.
"What are we going to do from now, Haru?"
"Hmmm... I planning to settle down with you at your home kingdom of Dragnof but I still want to go on adventure with you."
Irene embraced his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"Hehe... No matter what you decide in the future, I'll be always right beside you as your wife."
Haru smiled at her as they walked together outside the deep forest.
---
Night arrives and they decided to rest on a certain small village. There's no inn available so they stayed on a stable.
Haru lie down on the bed made of dried grass.
"Aaaahh! Finally!" he said as he closed his eyes.
"Haru... Aren't we gonna eat dinner first?"
Irene asked while fidgeting.
She currently wearing a white dress given by Haru.
Haru opened his eyes and glanced at Irene.
*Sigh*
He sighed, sitting up.
"What do you want to eat? I'll make some for you."
"No! This time let's eat on a tavern in this village. I heard their alcohol taste really good!"
Irene seems to be excited.
"Irene... I think that's--"
"Let's go, Haru! I want to have a drink with you! This is first time we go out on a drink together ever since I became a dragon. Come on~ Get up!"
Irene tried to pulled him up from their bed.
"Okay! Okay! I'll go with you."
Haru stood up.
He has no other choice but to go with his wife but he has a bad feeling about this.
"Hehe..." Irene looks very happy.
When they went out together, Irene was holding Haru's hand while humming in excitement.
Haru just gave her wry smile.
The two of them entered the pub.
Sitting together in one table, the waitress went to take their order.
"I'll take this... this... this... this... Oh, I like this one! Give three pieces of meat bread... Then a soup... Oh, also a cup of ale."
Irene ordered a lot then she glanced at him,
"Haru, what about you?" she optimistically asked.
Haru looked around and he noticed that the customers are only drinking alcohol.
He hasn't seen any food on their table.
"Nothing, just a cup of water." Haru responded.
"Ehh..."
Irene and the waitress looks disappointed.
"Haru! If you don't want to eat! At least drink some alcohol with me!" Irene got angry at him.
"I refuse!"
"Haru! It's been century--Okay! Fine! Do what you want! You won't change your mind once you already decided. I'll eat and drink by myself!"
Irene looked away from him and sulked.
Haru looks determined and won't change his mind but his eyes are focus on Irene.
...
"Sorry... I'll just go and get your orders."
The waitress awkwardly walked away.
"It's a quarrel."
"Yeah, those two are new here."
The people around them are gossiping.
When the food and drink ordered by Irene came,
"Here's your order."
The waitress place it in front of her then put a glass of water in front of Haru.
She immediately bowed and walked away from them.
Irene noticed his stare,
"Huh? Why are you staring at me like that?" she said with cold tone at him.
Haru just smiled at her,
"Nothing... I just realized just how adorable you become when you're angry. I'm falling for you even more."
Irene reddened,
"Shut up, you perv!"
The atmosphere between them became warm again.
"These couple..."
People around are getting annoyed them.
"Hmph!"
Irene grabbed the fork and took one of the sausage then place it in her mouth.
"Huh?"
She took one of the meat bread and bit on it.
As she swallows,
"There's no flavor..."
Haru frowned seeing her expression.
She tried to eat all the food she ordered but she can't taste anything.
"Ugh!"
She choked.
"Irene!"
Haru went behind her and tapped her back several times.
*Cough!* *Cough!*
"Here! Drink this water!"
Haru gave her the water that he ordered.
Irene trembled staring the meat bread in her hand.
"Haru..."
As she glanced at Haru, she became teary-eyed.
"I can't taste anything... No matter what I eat... I couldn't taste anything!"
Haru embraced her to calm her down.
"It's okay, Irene. I'll do something about it."
After she calmed down, Haru made her sit back on her chair as he took out a container from his dimensional storage.
He opened the container then gave it to Irene,
"What is this?"
"Try it. It's a fried flying cabbage."
(Img<<<)
"Okay..."
Haru gave her a spoon.
When Irene place a small amount of the dish inside her mouth, her eyes widened in surprise.
"...Delicious."
Irene took another spoon of fried cabbage then ate it.
"It's delicious, Haru! I can taste it!"
She looks happy eating his dish.
"Yeah, please eat quietly. We're bothering the other customers."
Haru took the meat bread bitten by Irene and curiously ate a small amount.
His eyebrows furrowed.
"What's wrong, Haru?"
Irene asked seeing his expression.
"This is awful..."
Haru opened the meat bread and check the meat inside.
"This is raw, dry, tastes horrible."
He called the waitress.
"Ummm... is something wrong?"
The waitress nervously asked.
Haru gave her the untouched meat bread.
"It's disgusting. Try it."
The waitress willed herself and tried to take a bite on the meat bread.
"It's good--Ugh!"
Her face went pale.
She immediately ran outside,
"Ugh! Arrrgh!"
She barfed outside.
...
When she came back becoming embarrassed,
"Yeah, it's gross."
*Sigh*
Haru sighed,
"The meat was spoiled. Call the cook here."
The waitress immediately went to call their cook.
When the cook arrived, it was a big burly man.
"What wrong? Who called me here?"
There was an intense atmosphere.
Haru stood up and pointed at him,
"You motherf*cking Assh*le! Did you just f*cking fed us your sh*t!"
He calmly went berserk.
Fight breaks out from inside the tavern and the others gladly joined in.
Irene was ignoring them, happily eating by herself.
After that, Haru taught the cook how to be a good cook and share his knowledge.
