Chapter 90 The Reunion of a Family of Three
……
Kimimaro has been recovering from his injuries since his last encounter with August, which means he won't be able to train with Sasuke for the next few days.
After defeating the Chunin Orochimaru sent to train with him, Sasuke somewhat listlessly sheathed the Kusanagi Sword.
After arriving in Otogakure, Sasuke witnessed many spectacular battles between powerful individuals, which broadened his horizons but also made him unconsciously underestimate the strength of ordinary ninjas.
The Uchiha clan's admiration and pursuit of power seems to be deeply rooted in their blood.
Their excessive focus on the strong and powerful leads them to unconsciously disregard the weak.
Arrogant people are not easily accepted, and the Uchiha clan's sensitivity allows them to easily detect the rejection of others.
The saying that character determines destiny is perhaps best exemplified in the Uchiha clan.
Sasuke, having sheathed the Kusanagi Sword, frowned in confusion.
He has made some progress in his gravity magic practice recently, so lately, either Zeref or August will come over and give him some pointers.
Today, the agreed time has passed, but neither Jelf nor August has shown up, which has never happened before.
Could something have happened?
Could it be that Orochimaru finally couldn't resist attacking Zeref and Mavis, who are immortal?
Sasuke frowned even more as he thought about this. Although he felt that Orochimaru was unlikely to make a move, Sasuke still headed towards Zeref's room.
When Sasuke arrived at Zeref's door, he was about to knock when he heard faint sobbing coming from inside.
Inside the room, Mavis was listening to August recount his story of being abandoned by Precito and then meeting Jelf.
Although August glossed over his tragic childhood, Mavis, who also had a difficult childhood, was certainly aware of it.
Having grown up on Tenrou Island, and with the support of a guild, it was all the same to August, who was alone, young and weak.
"I'm sorry, August..."
With a trembling sob in her voice, Mavis hugged August once more.
"I'm sorry, I didn't even know you existed, I'm so sorry..."
Mebius kept apologizing.
She was killed by the curse on Zeref. Her body was sent back to Fairy Tail by Zeref, but her mental form returned to Tenrou Island.
I never imagined that Augustus already existed back then...
Although Precito was the one who abandoned Auguste, ultimately it was the fault of Jelf and himself as parents.
As Mavis reached out and stroked August's soft, short hair, her eyes were filled with pity and guilt.
Sitting on the other side, Jelf looked at August and Mavis embracing, his eyes revealing guilt and pain.
He raised his hand, as if to wipe away the tears on Mebbes's face, or as if to reach out and touch August, but in the end he helplessly lowered his hand.
Compared to Mavis, Jelf felt even more indebted.
After all these years, he hadn't discovered August's identity at all; as a father, he was truly incompetent.
Seemingly sensing the turbulent emotions in Jelf's heart, August pulled himself out of Mavis's embrace.
Turning to look at Jelf, August said with a smile, "Although Precito abandoned me, I don't resent him, because that's how I met you, Father. Besides, it's precisely because you didn't recognize me that I've been able to stay by your side all these years, isn't it?"
“I am very content, except for the fact that I can’t acknowledge you as my father, as I work with him in building the country.”
Upon hearing this, Jelf could no longer hold back and pulled August into his arms, while simultaneously gripping Mavis's hand, tears streaming down his cheeks.
“I’m sorry, August, I’m sorry, Mavis, I…”
Just as the family of three was huddled together, a knock came into the room.
Sasuke, who faintly heard sobbing outside the door, was startled. Worried that something had happened, he quickly knocked twice and then pushed the door open and went inside.
"What happened, Jelf..."
Thinking something had happened, Sasuke pushed open the door and saw three people sitting in a row on the sofa.
And the child between Jelf and Mavis, is August?
Sasuke: ? ? ? What's going on?
Seeing Zeref and Mavis's tear-streaked faces, Sasuke's confusion deepened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are you... playing house?"
It's no wonder Sasuke thought that way; he simply couldn't find any other words to describe the baffling actions of the three people opposite him.
Not to mention that August has now turned back into a child.
Sasuke's appearance also gave August a slight sense of relief.
Although he felt happy with Jeff and Mavis's care, he wished they could be happier and more joyful than he felt guilty and indebted to them.
Being able to reunite with his parents and be embraced by them was enough for Auguste to be content.
Sasuke's appearance now is just the right time to break the somber mood.
Mavis wiped away her tears, her bright, emerald-green eyes shining even brighter.
Mavis smiled slightly at Sasuke, her voice gentle yet firm.
“Sasuke, let me reintroduce you,” Mavis began. “This is August.”
"It's my and Jelf's child."
