Chapter 61 : Mission at Gazania Forest and Found Someone Unexpected

15 January X778

Lucy waking up from sleep only to meet natsu is sleep inside her room.Well it's not strange since  at her first life when Lucy still live at apartement,Natsu often from out of nowhere is come in at her room.It's seem even when she live at villa at her second life,Nothing is change.But well at Lucy eyes,Kid version Natsu is cute.

"Natsu kid really cute" Lucy grinned watching natsu that still asleep.Then natsu grumbling about something at his sleep.

"Hmmm what he say"Lucy smile.Natsu grumbling about "F-F-F".Lucy blinked like "F? What he dreaming about" Lucy wondered what natsu dreaming.

And before Lucy can registered.Natsu at her sleep shouting "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!!" that hitted Lucy and send her flying.

"WHY AM I NOT SUPRISED!!" lucy internally complained.Lucy remember at her first life when Lisanna just going back from edolas.After party is done and everyone is fall asleep post party.Lucy poking natsu cheek and then natsu suddenly yelled Fire Dragon Iron Fist at his sleep and hitted Lucy,send her to fly.

"To Think i am fall to same trick.Really even as kid you are unbelivable natsu" Lucy back to floor again.

"Anyway i try waking up natsu" Lucy murmured to herself."Natsu its morning.You need to get up"

Natsu began stirring up and wake up.Before natsu registered a full awake he saying "Lucy?Why are you at my room?"

Lucy complained "This is my room!!".Natsu eyes blinked "Is that so?".Then someone is coming.It's Ultear with maid apron."Master i already prepared your breakfast.Also Natsu,we already prepared lot of meat for you"

Natsu eyes sparkly saying "Yes!!!Meat" and he immediatelly going outside room to reach his food.Ultear then speaking toward Lucy "Master are you okay? Forgive me to cannot prevent natsu to entering your home and room".Lucy then replied "Don't worry Ultear it's okay".Lucy already get used that his room getting invaded by natsu even at her first life.So for lucy it's not surprised anymore.

Then Lucy moving to dinner room for eating and yeah natsu is eating without concern where his food is going at every direction.Lucy facepalmed "He really natsu.Yeah very natsu like".

Then Lucy joined the dinner for eat.Lucy then opening conversation and saying "Anyway natsu how your training? did you has progress?".Natsu then answering "Oh yeah it's very smoothly.I just punching the tree and can make it burning ahahaha" while grinning at her eating.Lucy deadpaned "Well please not burn the tree as you please but oh well....".

"Oh yeah i almost forgot" Natsu like he remember something."Want to taking job? it's say some Ape Monster is roaming at Forest near Gazania town.Want come? the reward is good" Natsu asking like it's obvious thing to do while he mucnhing the meat.

Then Lucy asked "Natsu did you already strong enough to fight? and you not stealing the quest right?" Lucy eyes starred to natsu.Natsu then replied "Don't worry who do you think i am?i am is Igneel son" Natsu bragging himself.

Lucy just say nonchanantly "Yes yes i know".The natsu continued with serious tone "But you know.There is another reason why i choose you as my partner at this mission and at future"

Lucy then tilted her head saying "Reason?What is it?".Lucy wondered what natsu mean.She remember at this life she rarely interacted by natsu because he busy training and Lucy herself has her own agenda.

Natsu then quitely saying "Well it's you not laughed at me".Lucy eyes blinked,confused face and asking "What do you mean i not laughed at you?".Natsu then continued "Well it's about that i raised by Igneel and he is dragon.Other people laughed at me it's not real but you never laughed at me".

Lucy silent hearing this.Because to be honest,Lucy herself already known dragon since she know existence of Acnologia and 5 Dragon God from her first life so she really know fact that dragon still alived until now.

"Well i cannot laugh about this matter natsu.because well there is nothing precious that our parent.If you say your parent is dragon then i will believed it" Lucy nodded and explaining why she always trust Natsu judgement.ucy cannot reveal the truth about his parent fate at this time but when natsu himself is ready.She will tell him.

Natsu then smiling saying "Thank you Lucy." then natsu look shivered "Also i still remember  nightmare of Erza taught me how to read and write".Lucy just chuckle to hold her laughter and then natsu saying "Dont laugh!".Lucy not laugh saying "Okay natsu sorry".

"Anyway natsu i come" Lucy nodded.Natsu just shouted "Hell yeah!!".Then Lucy tilted her head "Anyway is only our two or is there another person?".Lucy wondered.She know at her first life,her team is consist of herself,Natsu, Gray, Erza, Happy, Carla, and wendy.But happy and carla still not born or more like their egg still not sended to Earthland.Wendy still with Caith Shelter Lucy pressumed.

Lucy has her own reason why she dont want picking up wendy as soon as possible.She at least want make sure Wendy meet Carla first.She considered if she picking wendy so soon.Wendy will not learn or picking up about carla.She at least dont want change history too much.Well altrough she already change a lot thing.

Natsu just nodded "Well of course!who else?".Lucy just smile "Well maybe Ultear?" Natsu just shrugged "Ah your maid.To be honest i still don't know how is your maid is already S-Class and you are not.From what i hear She respected you a lot"

"That's why Lucy after quest is done i want ask you something"Natsu face is serious.

"Ask something?What is it?"Lucy wondered what Natsu want.But knowing natsu character,Lucy know what natsu want and she is 100% sure that thing.

"After quest done.Let's fight with me" Natsu saying it with excited tone.

Lucy internally commented "As i thought it's about that.Of course natsu will ask about fighting when meet strong person.It's his fundamental core".

"Okay deal"Lucy grinned.If it's her first life,it will never really happened that day of natsu asking her for battle.But know since she is strong now,Natsu is asking her to battle.Well cannot helped it it.So Lucy decide to playing around.

Time Skip

Well actually the time skip is so not far.Lucy has aqua aera so she can used it to instantly teleport to Gazania Town.Thankfully Lucy know Gazania Town location so she can used aqua aera to create water portal to this location since at her first life,she used working as journalist when guild disbanded after tartaros.And one of it job is to interview sabertooth member when they doing eating contest.Lucy wondered what it's name again.Finally Lucy remember.It's Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! Food Festival.Well maybe it's not important right now but at least lucy remember some of her first life.

"That's awesome Lucy i know i choose you as my partner is not wrong" Natsu grinning with high spirit."With your magic.we can travell anywhere and avoid my motion sickness at transportation".Lucy then blinked "You are bad with transportation?" asked sincerey.Lucy know about natsu motion sickness.Lucy thought its when dragon slayer already strong that they developed this state.So that mean Natsu already strong enough to develop motion sickness.Like lucy herself,Irene also it's seem has this thing also.That's why she sying gratitude when Lucy give herself magic about Aqua Aera theory.

"Well yeah.The transportation are devil! i got puked everytime i use them" Natsu grumbling."But with your magic it's seem i can rest assure.Thank you Lucy" Natsu smile back.Lucy just smiling saying "Anytime natsu"

Then those two entered forest and began hunting a Ape monster that listed at Quest.Those two began using their movement.For natsu is like fire dragon iron first, fire dragon wing attack, and may his movement variation.For Lucy that tutored with Mercphobia after she got her key and Lucy usually using movement like Water Dragon Nebula or Water Dragon Slicer.Sometime Lucy herself also combined with her celestial spirit movement like Water Dragon Metria.the punchline is when she fighting monster at past when Rolotia drop monster to Lucy training and she used movement named Water Dragon Lucy Kick.Well Lucy tendencies to naming her movement using her name is never changed.

You think it's ridiculuous? Well Fairy tail is live at their sheer ridiculus and sheer weirdness so it's normal for them.

After 30 minutes hunting at Gazania forest.We finally gathering the part of ape to taking it as proof that we already defeated the monster.And well some of part is got burned that it's turning to black because natsu fire.

"Natsu some of monster part is got burned.I doubt we will got full reward"Lucy deadpanned.Then Natsu just narrowed his head "It's can't helped.This monster is just so weak to my fire".Lucy just sighed "Okay okay...anyway lets pick the material so we has proof to give to guild so we can got reward".

Then Lucy hear something like kid is crying at forest.lucy narrowed her head to natsu saying "Natsu did hear that?".Natsu then saying "Yeah,someone is crying inside forest".Lucy then give suggestion "Wanna check it? I don't know if we can ignore it".Natsu then saying "Okay i come.".

Then those two beginning walking toward source."Natsu who do you think that crying before?" Lucy asked.Natsu answered "How should i know"."Well point taken" Lucy just sighed."

After 15 minutes walking,They indeed found out kid is crying.It's Girl with age around 2 year more older than Yukino,has black hair with bun style,and wearing blue chinese clothes.Lucy feel like she know this person from her first life but  forgot who.

Lucy then saying "Hey,are you okay?You need something?" Then the girl shouting "GO AWAY I DONT YOUR HELP!I AM STRONG!!" Natsu then furious saying "How dare you! i will-"Before natsu ca finish his sentence,lucy lean her hand toward natsu "Don't worry natsu,it's okay.She is scared and look like traumatized.I can tell there is something wrong with her".Natsu then trying to calm and saying "Well if lucy say like that then i will calm down" Lucy then saying "Good".

Lucy focused to the girl again "Are you lost? if you want you can come with ourself.Dont worry.We are not bad people".Before the girl can answer,the girl stomach is growling."Oh you are hungry.Well we don't bring food.Wanna come to pick food?" the girl eager nodded."Lucy you want bring her to guild?" Natsu asked.Lucy answered "Well obviously".

Lucy then using Aqua Aera toward front of guild door."Here come with me" Lucy is leaning her hand toward girl and bring her crossing Aqua Aera."Natsu you report mission i will bring this child to Master Makarov".Natsu just nodded then waving his hand and walking away to report mission.

Then Lucy walking toward guild and meet makarov "Master.I meet some lost child at forest.And she look hungry".Makarov then jump to floor from bar corner and saying "Another lost child?You really has knack to find something like this lucy".Lucy just laugh helplessly saying "Well ahahahaha.Even i dunno why it's always happen"

"Well our guild become bright thanks to you.So i will not questioning anything" Makarov gasped his staff."Anyway kid whose your name?" Makarov asked.The girl then introduced herself "M-M-Minerva Orland"

Lucy brain then internally screaming "MINERVA!!!THIS KID IS MIVERVA? THAT'S WHY I FELL FAMILIAR WITH HER.SHE IS FUTURE SABERTOOTH MEMBER.WAIT DID SABERTOOTH ALREADY FORMED AT THIS YEAR?ARGHHH I DUNNO ANYMORE.TO HELL WITH COMMON SENSE.WHY SHE EVEN CRYING AT FOREST.THIS GIRL TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I REMEMBER!!!!"

Lucy second life really almost like she is magnet of trouble person.
