Chapter 492: Moon Drip
"Mom and Dad?" Happy blinked, unable to believe what he had just heard.
He had never known his parents. From the moment he was born, he was already an egg sent to Earth Land. He had no memories of them, and they had never seen him either. Even his name, Happy, was something Natsu had given him.
By all logic, neither side should have been able to recognize the other.
Yet, Gemini, who had taken on the form of the white Exceed, Lucky, confirmed without hesitation that they had recognized Happy immediately. When Gemini transformed into the blue Exceed, his mother Marl, the answer was the same.
There must have been some instinctual bond, some unexplainable connection. But Gemini never lied.
And that left Rhodes feeling... awkward.
"I’m so sorry!"
Rhodes rushed forward to untie Lucky and Marl, stepping aside and bowing in apology. He gave them space, allowing the long-separated family to reunite.
The two small blue cats tearfully embraced, sobbing in each other’s arms. Even Lucky, who tried to keep up a stern front and muttered that both mother and son were "soft," eventually gave in. He pulled his wife and child into a tight hug, hiding the tears welling in his own eyes.
Moved by the heartwarming sight, Lucy wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. "This is so wonderful... To think we found Happy’s parents so quickly. But... why are they living in such a far-off, isolated place?"
"Wiggle wiggle~
We know!" Gemi and Mini chimed in cheerfully.
