The Dragon's Child Chased by Dinosaurs
A cat is a cat, and a frog is a frog; how can two completely different species possibly combine?
Mira's short sentence instantly piqued Hughes's curiosity!
Following Mira's gaze, Hughes paused slightly.
There really was a frog with a cat's face following behind them, carrying a straight branch in its hand!
... No, no, this is Frosch!
Hughes, regaining his senses, was filled with shock. How did this little cutie end up here?
Of all the Exceed, Hughes had the best impression of Frosch.
Who wouldn't love a soft, cute, and slightly silly cat?!
Noticing Hughes's fluctuating emotions, Mira's gaze shifted back and forth between Hughes and Frosch.
Do you recognize it?
Hughes nodded vigorously. "It's a cat from the same place as Happy!"
Mira's pretty face showed a hint of confusion and disbelief. "Happy? Cat? You're saying it's not a frog but a cat?"
"Haha, this cat is different from Happy. It's a bit silly and always thinks it's a frog!"
Perhaps hearing Hughes ' explanation, Frosch blinked his big eyes. "Fro isn't a cat, he's a frog!"
Hughes burst into laughter at the soft voice. He lightly touched the ground with his toes and instantly appeared in front of the slightly dazed Frosch.
With his hands on Frosch's waist, Hughes gently lifted Frosch up. "Yes, yes, Frosch is a frog, not a cat!"
For the first three years of his life, Frosch believed himself to be a frog because of his green fur and his love for frogs.
Later, after being exposed as not being a frog by Lector and others, who were also considered "Exceed," he cried for three days.
"Frosch, what are you doing here?"
"Fro and Rogue are lost! Fro wants to find Rogue!" Frosch, dressed in a frog costume, raised his right paw and spoke in a frog-like, cat-like voice.
Upon hearing this, Hughes ' excitement subsided slightly.
Frosch and Happy were probably born around the same time, so they're probably only two or three months old now.
He had thought that at this point in time, Frosch hadn't met Rogue yet, and he could take the opportunity to bring Frosch back to the Fairy Tail guild.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned!
Once the Exceed and the Dragon Child take a liking to each other, given their bond, it's virtually impossible to win them back.
I wonder if Rogue is currently a member of the Phantom Lord, or if he left the Phantom Lord to join Sabertooth?
Mira stared at Frosch for a long time, and finally couldn't resist giving him a quick pat. "Where did you and Rogue get lost? Can you take us there? Maybe we can help you find Rogue!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hughes almost couldn't help but laugh. Frosch was the kind of person who could get lost from Sabertooth Guild to Fairy Tail Guild!
Mira asked it to lead the way; what's the difference between that and making Zoro the navigator?
... However, as the last sentence flashed through his mind, Hughes ' smile vanished instantly.
Zoro Frosch?
Is he directionally challenged?
Hughes looked at Frosch in disbelief. Frosch, with his green hair, felt a little uncomfortable under Hughes and uttered a confused "Fro... Fro."
Green hair, green fur!
Could it be...?
As Hughes expected, the belated system notification suddenly sounded.
["Three-Sword Liu Zoro" has been detected. Please defeat him!]
Hughes: □
The dog system is making fun of Boss Zoro again!
He thought the system would select the appropriate item based on Zoro's swordsmanship, but it turns out it was based on his terrible sense of direction...
Hughes looked down at Frosch, Frosch blinked his innocent big eyes and waved his frog paw.
#..
I can't bring myself to do it!!
Within three seconds, Hughes's expression shifted rapidly, leaving Mira somewhat speechless. She reached out and poked Hughes's waist.

What's wrong with you now?
"I wanted to do something against my conscience, but I realized I was too honest to fool myself!"
Mira narrowed her eyes slightly; her good manners prevented her from doing anything too impolite.
Rolling her eyes at Hughes, Mira bent down and patted Frosch: "Let's go, I'll help you find Rogue!"
"Fro, Fro!"
Frosch happily circled around!
Seeing that the man and the cat had abandoned him and left, Hughes quickly chased after them; if Frosch led the way, Hughes was afraid they would wander in the forest for a year and still not find Rogue.
"Wait, you two, don't wander off! I know where Rogue is, come with me!"
With Advanced Observation Haki, finding someone in the forest would be incredibly easy, especially since they had already traversed half the forest.
Soon, a dark-haired boy, much younger than Lisanna, came into the sight of the two people and the cat.
Frosch happily tossed aside the straight branch he was holding, and the frog waved its paw, calling out, "Rogue, Rogue, Fro is here!"
The little boy, his face filled with anxiety and tension, stopped in his tracks and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Frosch is you!!"
Rogue wiped away the faint tear stains on his face, his sorrow turning to joy, and he wept with overwhelming happiness.
I was so worried about you!
"Rogue, Fro too!"
The two, one human and one cat, ran at full speed... until Frosch leaped into Hughes' arms.
"Rogue, so he's just a child!" Mira said softly, her brows furrowed.
This forest is even more dangerous than the forest to the east of Magnolia Town. What brings this little boy named Rogue and Frosch here?
Hughes examined Rogue thoroughly but did not find any guild crest on him.
"Haven't you joined the Sabertooth guild yet?" Hughes murmured to himself.
As for getting Rogue to join Fairy Tail, the idea briefly crossed Hughes's mind before Hughes dismissed it.
Of the five dragon sons who traveled from 400 years ago, Rogue is the one Hughes least wants to encounter!
He couldn't guarantee that if Rogue joined the Fairy Tail guild, it wouldn't cause Rogue, who came from another world, to change as well.
The thought of ten thousand dragons destroying the world is terrifying!
Not to mention Wanlong, if it weren't for Ultear reversing time, the Seven Dragons alone would have almost reached the finale.
We can't afford to mess with them!
Just then, Rogue, who was embracing Frosch in ecstasy, suddenly remembered something important.
He hurriedly and anxiously picked up Frosch and ran frantically behind Hughes, shouting, "Everyone, run! Several ferocious beasts were chasing me, and I didn't shake them off very far!"
Before the echoes of panic had faded, a chilling roar of a beast rang out.
Beneath the sparse leaves, several pairs of Red Eye were faintly visible.
"Oh no, they've caught up!" Rogue exclaimed in panic as he ran up behind Hughes.
"Quick, come with me! If we're any later, I won't be able to shake them off!"
As he spoke, the owner with Red Eye emerged from the dense forest.
"Roar!"
The roars of beasts echoed through the forest, deafening and accompanied by a pungent, fishy stench.
Rogue, who had already run several dozen meters, turned around and found that Hughes and Mira had not followed, so he had to turn back.
"What are you two dawdling for? Come with me!" Rogue said anxiously, pulling him along.
Hughes looked at him, somewhat speechless. The son of a dragon was actually scared into running away by a few wild dinosaurs?
How exactly did Shadow Dragon raise his children?
