"It's an egg! I found an egg!" Natsu ran into the Guild, cheering and holding an egg. Everyone in the Guild exclaimed about how big the egg was, as it was half Natsu's size, and looked a bit strange when he held it.
Seeing this, Zorn instantly remembered that Happy was about to be born. He quickly put down his cup, walked over to Natsu, and carefully looked at the blue patterned egg that Natsu was holding. He thought to himself, 'No wonder Natsu thought it was a Dragon Egg; it really does look like one!'
"Come on, Natsu, put the egg on this blanket," Zorn said, taking a blanket from a nearby chair and spreading it on the floor. Natsu carefully placed the egg in the center of the blanket and continued to stare at it with a Happy expression.
"Hey, Zorn, can you tell what kind of animal egg this is?" Cana bent down, curiously looking at the egg, and happily asked Zorn, seeing his cheerful expression.
"Well…" Before Zorn could finish, Natsu confidently and firmly declared, "It's a Dragon Egg! It must be a Dragon Egg! The blue patterns on this egg look like Dragon claws, so it's definitely a Dragon Egg." After Natsu finished speaking, he excitedly looked at the Master on the bar counter: "Jii-chan, Grandpa, please make the Dragon Egg hatch quickly."
"What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot?" The Master, hearing this, immediately reprimanded Natsu and the others seriously. Then, with a respectful and solemn expression, he continued, "There is no magic in this world that can desecrate life like that. Life is only born through love. Love surpasses all magic."
"What are you talking about, Jii-chan? I don't understand at all," Natsu said, looking at the Master with a confused expression. The Master sighed helplessly.
"Natsu, the Master means that this is something you need to accomplish with the power of love, which means you need to hatch it yourself," Zorn further explained to Natsu. "So, go for it!"
"Perfect, Natsu, you can also learn how life is born," Erza added from the side.
"Mhm, I understand," Natsu nodded as if he understood, looking at the egg before him with anticipation for life.
"Oh, Erza, you're back! Let's continue. Our last duel isn't over yet, you eavesdropping woman!" Mirajane suddenly heard Erza's voice and said arrogantly from the side.
"You're right, I almost forgot! We haven't decided a winner yet, you gossiping woman!" Erza retorted, unwilling to be outdone.
"Oh, are they fighting again?" Lisanna and Elfman sighed helplessly from a nearby table.
"Eavesdropping, gossiping, last time?" Zorn listened, confused, and murmured softly, completely unaware that Cana next to him had blushed and lowered her head, at a loss.
"Hey, Zorn, let's have a match! Let me see how much you've improved recently." Laxus, wearing the jacket Zorn gave him, a short-sleeved shirt underneath, and headphones, looked excited. He extended a hand to challenge Zorn.
"No," Zorn replied curtly, without hesitation. He turned to the still-shy Cana and asked, "Cana, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?" He was very concerned about Cana's physical condition.
"Nothing, nothing…" Cana, at a loss, denied it.
After Zorn knew it wasn't due to Cana's physical condition, he felt relieved. He then noticed that Laxus seemed about to lose control, as electricity was already surging around him. Zorn quickly comforted the delinquent.
"Laxus, my magic power was depleted too much on the last mission. I need to recuperate, you know? How about we have a fair and square duel once I've recovered?" Zorn put an arm around Laxus, finding an excuse to brush him off. Fortunately, Laxus didn't press the issue and somewhat accepted the reason. He broke free with a dissatisfied expression, then walked to a nearby chair, sat down, and said, "I'll be waiting."
"Watch this!" With a shout from Natsu, a flame suddenly shot towards the egg, causing Zorn to immediately snatch the egg from Natsu's hands. Lisanna also reprimanded Natsu, telling him not to do that.
"Take Over Magic: Animal Soul! Zorn, give me the egg!" Lisanna transformed into a swan, took the egg back from Zorn, and warmed it with her body. Only then did Natsu, Gray, and the others understand that this was how to warm it.
"Seriously, something like this happens the moment I look away. That's Natsu for you," Zorn sighed about Natsu's mischievous abilities. Elfman, on the chair, looked enviously at Natsu and Lisanna as they ran out of the Guild, wondering where they went to hatch the egg.
A few days later, Zorn arrived at the Guild as usual. Before he even entered, he saw Natsu and Lisanna rushing into the Guild, flustered and panicking, shouting, "Ah, ah, the egg is gone! Who, who stole it?!" They ran to Laxus, who was leaning against the wall, asking if he stole it, then ran to the quest board, asking Erza if she ate it, and then ran to Zorn, asking if he had seen the egg.
Although Zorn generally knew that Elfman had likely taken it to look after, Zorn didn't tell Natsu. After all, if Elfman hadn't been constantly following and ultimately looking after it, Happy might have taken much longer to hatch. He really wanted Natsu to learn a lesson.
"Natsu, I wonder if you ate it?" Mirajane asked, looking suspicious.
"Damn it, what did you say?!" An angry Natsu charged at Mirajane and started fighting with her. Wakaba and the other Guild Members sighed, remarking that they were just a bunch of kids, and wondered what the Guild would be like in the future.
"My egg, where did it go? (灬ꈍ ꈍ灬)," Natsu said, lowering his head, his eyes red, tears welling up and about to fall. Mirajane, meanwhile, was still teasing Natsu, "How cute, Natsu."
Zorn didn't pay attention to Mirajane and Erza, who were arguing again over Natsu's "Dragon Egg" incident. However, seeing Lisanna also with tears in her eyes, he told Everyone that the Dragon Egg was with Elfman.
Soon after, Elfman walked in holding the egg and explained what had happened, while Everyone was still discussing how much longer it would take for the egg to hatch.
"Crack, crack," the sound of the eggshell cracking suddenly rang out. Everyone in the Guild suddenly looked at the egg in the center, which was shaking violently, causing the shell to crack even more noticeably.
"It's hatching! It's coming out!"
The cracking sound stopped, and a ball of blue light shot into the air. Everyone looked up. "Ha!" A blue cat with a pair of wings appeared before Everyone.
"A cat?" Macao and Wakaba exclaimed in surprise, and Everyone was amazed.
Zorn looked at the cat hovering and then settling on Natsu's head, also greatly amazed. This was the main prankster in the later stages, haha.
Happy retracted his wings, extended his short claws, and said, "Aye~"
"Kawaii!" Happy immediately captivated Lisanna and Cana, who were among the many captivated. Natsu held Happy, who was on his head, in his arms, and Everyone gathered around, gazing at Happy with loving eyes.
"Let's give him a name, Natsu," Zorn said to Natsu, stroking Happy's head with his finger.
"What name should I give him? Do you have any suggestions, Zorn?" Natsu looked down gently at Happy in his arms, unsure, and asked Zorn.
"Look around. Isn't Everyone cheering and Happy for a new life?" Zorn had Natsu look at the cheering, Happy Everyone around them.
"Then let's call him Happy! Happy, the Dragon Child!" Natsu decided, then hugged Happy and spun around, cheering.
Ridasu, holding the new magic drawing tools Zorn gave him, looked at the scene before him, recording it. He drew and murmured, "Since he's a Dragon Child, I'll draw Happy as a Dragon, and Natsu on the Dragon's back."
This moment was permanently preserved as Ridasu stopped drawing. As for Zorn, he was next to Laxus, laughing heartily, though Laxus had a somewhat sulky expression, not wanting to stand with Zorn, but it couldn't be changed and was also recorded at the same time.
