However!
Lucy was dead set on dragging Natsu along to do a mission.
Without backing down at all, she pointed at Happy: "Natsu's partner, let's go do a mission together!"
The powerful aura caused Happy's momentum to weaken, and he said tearfully and pitifully: "Aye!"
"A real man! A real man should have this kind of aura," Elfman shouted excitedly.
Lucy broke character in a second and couldn't help but complain: "I don't even know what that means!"
At this time, upon hearing about going to work, Natsu didn't even eat, going straight into a slacker pose.
Showing an attitude of absolute refusal to go to work.
Seeing Natsu's appearance, Lucy couldn't be bothered to care about his feelings, grabbing his scarf and lifting him up.
She glanced at the feigning-death Natsu. "Since everyone thinks you were broken by me anyway, I don't mind actually breaking you for real!"
A wicked light flashed in the corner of her eyes, and Lucy said gloomily: "I know your tricks, Natsu... you can't escape, ohohoho!"
Certain evil scenes appeared in Lucy's mind.
"No! No! I'm not that kind of person!"
She mentally swatted away those scenes one by one, dragging Natsu out of the guild just like that.
Mirajane smiled faintly: "I get the feeling Lucy is thinking about some bad things."
"Natsu! Take care of yourself!"
Watching Natsu being dragged away, Gray hurriedly dodged out of the way: "This is bad! Lucy is evolving into Erza!"
"Natsu! Pull yourself together, one Erza in the guild is enough."
At the mention of Erza, Gray shuddered all over.
If Lucy also turned into someone like Erza, Gray would be scared out of his wits, unable to even sit still.
The others in the guild were the same, all staying far away from Lucy so as not to be targeted.
Natsu's appearance was truly a bit too miserable.
If Lucy became a second Erza...
The consequences would be unimaginable!
"Erza? Who is Erza?" Hearing the mutterings of the people in the guild, Lucy looked at Happy with a questioning face.
Happy's expression became incredibly dark, and he said gloomily: "Erza is ten thousand times scarier than the current Lucy!"
"If she finds out about you breaking Natsu..."
"She will..."
"She will..."
Lucy immediately blew her top, dropping Natsu, her heart trembling.
An image of a giant monster trampling a city appeared in her mind.
Fear arose, and she said tremblingly: "What will happen to me!"
Suddenly!
Natsu jumped up from the ground: "This is bad! This is bad! If Erza finds out about my current situation, I'm doomed!"
The fear of Erza was rooted deep in Natsu's heart.
Even though his soul had been replaced, his body still produced an instinctive reaction.
Run away quickly before getting beaten up!
Natsu resurrected in a second, scaring Lucy even more, making her tremble like a leaf: "What exactly will happen?"
"Natsu! Wait for me! I don't want to be caught by Erza!" Happy flapped his wings and chased after him at top speed.
Seeing both of them scared like this, Lucy became even more terrified: "What exactly will happen?"
"Who will tell me who Erza is?"
However!
No one was going to tell Lucy just what kind of terrifying entity Erza was.
On the carriage!
Natsu leaned on the window, his expression lethargic to the extreme, and his stomach felt incredibly uncomfortable.
"Damn... damn it... Mashima... why... did you have to set... such a... weakness..."
The greatest weakness of Dragon Slayer mages.
Transportation!
As long as they are on any form of transportation.
Dragon Slayer mages, who are set to have no sense of balance, will get motion sickness!
Even Acnologia couldn't avoid getting motion sickness on vehicles, let alone a minor Dragon Slayer mage like Natsu.
Even though his soul was replaced, his body was still the body of a Dragon Slayer mage.
When it was time to get dizzy, he would inevitably get dizzy.
"I have absolutely no idea what you're saying!" Lucy complained softly.
She took out the mission information and read it carefully.
Previously, being provoked by Natsu's act, she simply steeled her heart and accepted a random mission without even looking at the contents.
Only now did she have the time to check the mission carefully.
"Destroy this book called Daybreak?"
Hearing Lucy muttering, Natsu's spirit was roused.
This mission should have originally been done together with her.
But he was being a slacker and didn't want to go on a mission.
In the end, Lucy ended up grabbing this exact mission.
Is it such a coincidence?
Then let's make it an even bigger coincidence.
Bring out the Fairy Tail style to its fullest!
"Ugh!!!" A rolling sensation suddenly came from his stomach.
Yet he only threw up some water.
The food he ate earlier had been completely digested in such a short amount of time.
"I feel like with my current state, even if I ate the entire Etherion, I would only be full for a day or two!"
"Damn it!"
"Although the fusion of the Dragon Seed and the Demon Seed is a good thing, this side effect is way too intense."
"It's only been a few dozen minutes since I filled my stomach, and it's already completely digested. Who the hell can handle this?"
Natsu had saved up quite a bit of a nest egg from doing missions over the years, more than enough to buy several houses in Magnolia.
However, in just a short three months, it was all eaten up by him.
