On with the story
A few days later
After the whole defeat of Phantom Lord, Fairy Tail was interrogated by the Council on the whole war as everyone was almost held in prison if it weren't for Natsu who was in his Armor and told them that he will hold responsible for the whole thing
In an instant, all of the Rune Knights and officers of the Magic Council back off and didn't arrest everyone nor did they disband the guild
Right now, everyone was working hard on rebuilding the guild
"Alright guys! Lower it slowly!" Macao shouted to Max and Wakaba who were lowering down a pile of wooden logs
"Watch that log Nab!"
"No! Put it in that pile!"
"I need two more over here!"
It was quite the hectic as everyone was everywhere doing their best in rebuilding their beloved guild
Erza who was in a worker's outfit, was ordering out everyone as they all scrambled to do her orders
"Gray! Elfman! Carry those wooden logs there!" Erza ordered out to the two as they replied
"Aye sir!"
And then went on bringing the wooden pile to where Erza ordered
""she's such a slave driver""
Everyone said in their minds with sweat drops to Erza
"GET BACK TO WORK!" Erza shouted to them as they all instantly went back to work
She then huffed while overseeing the whole re-construction
At the Bar
Lucy with Milo and the Strauss sisters were at the bar as they look at the scene
"Erza's really pushing everyone hard, isn't she?" Lucy said with a sweat drop
"Nyaa!" Milo meowed while sitting on the Bar Counter
Mira and Lisanna just smiled while cleaning the bar
"that's Erza for you" Lisanna said while putting away some plates into a cupboard
They then saw Elfman and Gray on the ground under a pile of wooden logs as they had slip and fell
Lucy and the others look in sympathy towards the two as Erza was giving a huge scolding to them as they got scared stiff to her outburst
"Erza's really another person when it comes to Natsu" Lucy said to Milo who meowed with a smile
"speaking of Natsu, where is he?" Mira asked
"he's still at the Council doing the paperwork for the guild" Lucy replied as she remembered a few days ago
Flashback
Everyone just started at Natsu who was in his Armor, who was speaking to a Magic Council official officer who goes by the name of Lahar
"I'll deal with the paperwork and also on Jose's expulsion of being a Wizard Saint" Natsu told Lahar as he crosses his arms
"will that suffice?" Natsu said to Lahar who nodded
"but please come to the council to deal with it personally, Dragov-dono" Lahar added in as Natsu nodded
"very well then, please excuse us" Lahar said as he bowed to Natsu and left with the army of Rune Knights
Natsu then sighs in annoyance before looking back at the others
"you guys are safe" Natsu said as they all sighed in relief
"I'll be at the Council till I sorted out the whole Jose's expulsion and the damage we've caused" Natsu said as he turns back around and sprouted his wings
"oh yeah" Natsu said as he remembered something
He then looks back to Erza while doing a "come here" gesture
Erza who had Milo on her shoulders, pointed at herself as Natsu nodded to her
She then walks towards him as Natsu's helmet opened automatically to her
"take care of Milo for me, ok?" Natsu asked to her as Erza nodded with a smile
"just hurry back, alright" Erza said to Natsu as he nodded as well
"you betcha!" Natsu said as he slips a kiss to her forehead and cheeks
"see ya!" Natsu said before his helmet closed and flies off
Erza who got caught off from the kiss, had a red tomato face as steam started coming off her head with the rest of the guild, smiling mischievously
"HE LIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKEEEEESSSSSSS YOUUUU" they all rolled their tongues to the blushing scarlet hair
Erza quickly re-compose herself as she turns around and glared at them
"SHUT UP!"
And with that, they quickly shut their mouths
End flashback
Lucy just stare at the scarlet hair who called out to everyone that it was time for a break
"take 5!" Erza shouted as she turned around and walked towards the bar
Everyone stopped what they were doing as they all sprawled around the ground with a tired face
"finally…"
They all muttered out while tired
"thanks for the hard work, Erza" Lisanna said while handing her a glass of refreshments
"thank you, Lisanna" Erza thanked her as she then drinks the glass
"thanks for the hard work as well, everyone" Mira said while handing out refreshments with Lucy who was helping her
"man, I never worked this much in my life!" Gray said while drinking his ice tea
"you said it" Elfman said while drinking his cold water
They then heard a motor sound coming from the town
"is that?" Gray said while turning around to look at where the sound is coming from
And on cue came Natsu who was riding his magic motor bike as he pulled the brakes and came to a stop in front of the guild
Natsu then steps off his bike and pulled up his helmet
"yo! You guys doing well?" Natsu greeted them with a grin as everyone welcomed him back
"you're back!"
"how did it go at the council?"
"good to see you back, Natsu!"
Natsu smiled to them as he greeted them back while high fiving some of them
He then made his way to the bar where he saw Erza and the others looking back at him
"welcome back" Lisanna greeted him with a smile
"it's good to be back!" Natsu said with a big grin as Milo jumped onto his shoulder and meowed to him
"good to see you too, Milo!" Natsu greeted his partner
"is everything sorted out at the Council?" Erza asked to him as Natsu nodded while scratching Milo's under chin
"yup, and they also won't be bothering us for a while" Natsu said
"what did you do to them?" Mira asked to Natsu
"oh, you know, the usual thing I always do to them" Natsu said with an evil glint on his face as he chuckled a bit darkly
"i-I see" Mira said as she sweat drops with Lisanna and Erza towards Natsu's evil chuckle
"so, Natsu you hungry?" Lisanna said trying to change the subject
Natsu hummed while thinking before hearing Makarov calling him
"Natsu!"
"I'll take a juicy steak for now" Natsu quickly told to Lisanna who nodded
He then made his way to Makarov who was sitting on top of a pile of wooden logs while drinking a beer
"Hey gramps, you doing good?" Natsu greeted him with a smile as Makarov nodded with a smile
"thanks to you, yeah" Makarov said to him
"I've got to thank you, my boy. If it wasn't because of you, we all might be in jail right now" Makarov said with a bow
"it's nothing" Natsu waved it off like it wasn't a big deal
"besides.." Natsu said while turning his head a little to look at Erza
"There's someone here worth fighting for" Natsu said with a wink to her
Mira and Lisanna snickered mischievously to Erza who was blushing to the wink
Makarov chuckled to the pink hair man
"you got that right, my boy" Makarov scratched his beard while grinning
"so! I assume you didn't call me here to chat, are you?" Natsu asked to the old man who nodded
"yes, it has come to my mind that, all of us have to thank you for fighting alongside us against Jose and his guild" Makarov said as it caught everyone's attention
"like I said it's nothing. And besides! Jose is on my "I don't like guy" list" Natsu said while grinning but was ignored by Makarov
"and that's why Natsu Dragov.." Makarov said while standing up and pointed to Natsu
"I, Makarov Dreyar, appoint you as an S-class mage of Fairy Tail!"
With that everyone instantly cheered for him while shouting out congratulations
"Gee! hahaha, thanks, Gramps! But are you sure? I mean I just joined recently" Natsu asked the old man as he nodded with a smile
"you have all the requirements to become an S-class mage, and besides," Makarov told him as Erza and the others went to him
"we all wanted you to become one"
Natsu then looks to the others as they all nodded with a smile
He then scratches the back of his head with a sheepish smile
"when you put it that way," Natsu said with a nervous smile
"how can I reject?" he grins to them as everyone cheered for him
"an instant S-class mage and he's a wizard saint as well!"
"our guild is getting stronger every day!"
"let's party!
Everyone cheered out before Erza stopped them
"there will be no partying till the reconstruction of the guild is finished!"
She exclaimed as everyone's mood instantly dropped
Erza then felt a hand reached her waist and pulled her
"don't be such a party crasher, Erza" Natsu said with a grin to her blushing
He then looks around the construction work as he saw that they are at a quarter in finishing the guild
"let me help you guys out a bit," Natsu said to them
"mind If I see the blueprints for the guild?" Natsu asked as Mira came to him while holding a rolled-up paper
"here you go, Natsu" Mira gave him the paper as he nodded
"thank you," Natsu said as he opened up the paper and saw children doodles of a blueprint
"Hmm, this is quite good," Natsu said as Gray and Lucy sweat dropped to him
"he must be an idiot to be able to understand that amateur's work," Gray said with a sweat drop before Mira cried with Gray apologizing to her
"so, it was Mira-chan who made it! I didn't know!" Gray said while apologizing to her
"you made her cry" Macao, Wakaba and Lucy said to him
"okay then!" Natsu said while rolling up the paper and gave it to Erza
"time to get this done!" Natsu then cracks his knuckles and then snap his finger twice as he slowly moved forward
Everyone's eyes instantly went wide as a saucer as they saw Natsu's body movement started creating afterimages of him as he was moving slowly and then multiple Natsu's appeared
"Ehhhhhh!?"
""""""""here we go!""""""""
All of the Natsu then started working on the construction work at a top speed and in a minute, the guild was a third finished on the exterior
"""""""done!"""""""
The Natsus said as they all turn back into one Natsu
"How's that!" Natsu asked with a grin as he saw everyone's jaw dropped
"he just split up like he was a ninja," Lucy said with her jaws drop
Gray nodded with his jaws drop as well
"well!? What are you guys waiting for!? Let's party!" Natsu exclaimed out loud as everyone snapped out of it and instantly cheered to him
In an hour everyone was partying with Natsu as the latter was smiling and laughing happily with everyone
Now we see Natsu at the bar and was stuffing his mouth with a piece of steak
"third please!" Natsu asked Lisanna who was putting another plate of fire steak near him
"coming right up!" Lisanna said as she takes away the empty plate and went back into the kitchen to cook up another steak for him
"Yuuummm!" Natsu sliced off a piece of the steak and ate it again
"you've must've been really hungry," Cana said with a sweat drop while drinking her beer
"yeah! you have not seen the meal they serve at the council!" Natsu said with a shudder when he remembered that slimy meal, they made back there
"I see" Cana said with an awkward smile
"so Natsu" Mira came while holding a tray full of drinks
"how did you do the "so many Natsus" trick?" she asked him while setting down a mug of juice on the table for him
"just an old trick I learned a few years back, and apparently it helped me a lot in my younger days as it got me the nickname "One Man Army Salamander"" Natsu explained while laughing a bit
Cana and Mira chuckle to him as Mira went on to give the others their drinks
Natsu and Cana chat a bit while Natsu eats
When Natsu's hand suddenly reached out to Cana as he caught a flying chair that almost hit her
"wow!"
"thanks!" Cana said while trying to calm her rapidly beating heart
"Try saying that again!" Erza's voice shouted at as Natsu and Cana looks around and saw Erza standing with an angry look on her face, looking at Laxus, who was sitting at a table with his legs crossed.
He had a smug and mocking smirk on his face that Cana and even the others didn't like one bit.
Laxus smirked darkly and put his palm under his chin, causing Natsu to frown, "This time I'll tell you straight out." He spoke as a shadow covered his face, scaring a few,
"We don't need weaklings in this guild!" he announced before turning his head to Jet and Droy, who were behind him. Their bodies covered in bandages from the injuries Gajeel inflicted to them.
"You guys are pitiful. Getting humiliated by Phantom like that! HAHAHAHAHAH!" he finished, letting a loud laugh. He stopped abruptly and looked at them in confusion, "Oh, wait! I don't even know your names!" he laughed again, causing the two to drop their heads in shame.
Erza shook in anger at his words and Gray glared at him in hatred, wanting nothing more than tear him apart.
"I didn't see you anywhere when we needed a hand!" Mira shouted angrily at Laxus.
"You wanna blame someone then blame Lucy. She's the reason the guild was attacked in the first place." He snorted.
"Lucy had nothing to do with it! Her father sent them, and she had no idea what was happening!" Erza also argued.
"Riiight, so HER father sent them here. All the more reason we should make her leave. Who knows, maybe he'll send another guild to attack us. This is why I dislike weak members. Because they always drag us down when we're right on top o-"
"SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH ASSHOLE!" Gray tried to punch him, only to have his fist missed its target as Laxus then kicked him away and Gray crashed into a pile of crates.
"GRAY!" Lisanna shouted out as the latter got up from the crash
"YOU'RE GETTING IT!" Gray shouted out while readying his magic as Laxus had some spark of electricity around him
"Laxus!" Makarov shouted at his grandson as both mages dashed at each other
Gray and Laxus were about to close on each other before Natsu appearing between them as he caught their fists
"Natsu?!" Gray exclaimed in shock and surprised as Natsu lets their fists go and rested his hands on his waist
"you guys are gonna make a mess of the guild if you fight" Natsu said as he eyed Gray than to Laxus
"Oh, if it ain't the rumoured recent member who took out Jose." Laxus said as he smirked and walked up to him. They were staring at each other while Natsu just maintained a blank expression. "I gotta say, from what I heard from everyone, you're quite the power house."
"I was just helping out the guild that I've just joined." Natsu said with a shrug of his hands
"Right, because they're you're friends." He said in a mocking manner.
"Well that, and the food is awesome." Natsu replied while giving a wink to Lisanna who made sound of surprise and blushed a little.
"So, what were you doing? Busy on some top-secret S-class mission?" He asked in a fake enthusiastic way.
"Actually no. I was busy trying to find something to eat. Then I get a call out of the blue that Fairy Tail was getting attacked by those Phantom guys. And Lucy was the one that caused it. So, in a way, you brought her here, so it really is your fault, now that I think about it." Lucy looked down a bit depressed. Gray and Erza were getting madder as he kept talking.
"Oh my gosh! That was so rude! It would be such a waste to lose a meal over the guild. Wow. I just can't believe the place you grew up in." Natsu said before walking past him.
"You think you're some hot stuff just because you beat Jose?" Laxus suddenly said while turning around with an amused smile. Natsu suddenly stopped and sighed as he turned around.
"I'm assuming you have a point blondie?" He asked as he walked up to him again.
"I'm just being honest here." Laxus said while mocking Natsu
He and Natsu then went into a standoff as both sides stared at each other with such intense glares
"I got a bad feeling about this." Gray said as he gulped.
"N-Natsu?" Lucy called out to the man when the ground suddenly rumbled
"I'm gonna smash what's left of that face you have." Laxus growled at Natsu
"let's see if you can" Natsu said as he burst into flames.
"Sigh, I guess they might as well get it out of their systems." Makarov sighed.
"But Master!" Erza protested.
"You know Laxus. They will just keep butting heads until they hate each other so much to the point they can't stand to be in the same room. Trust me, if we let Laxus fight, maybe he'll leave him alone." Makarov said while narrowing his look at the two. "But if he goes too far, i'll stop them." He replied as a mighty aura appeared around him.
"..Natsu." Erza said to herself as she watched the two started glaring at each other.
"Y-you're kidding, right?"
"Laxus is gonna fight Natsu?!"
"I get the feeling that we're going to watch two monsters going to fight.."
Everyone was watching the two mages glaring at each other.
Natsu was just glaring at Laxus with an annoyed look as Crimson fire circled him like a small tornado, while Laxus's lighting whipped around him, destroying nearby equipment. They both then stopped emitting magic around them and everything settled. Everyone was watching carefully.
"Alright you little punk, let's see if you actually are the one who beat Jose." Laxus smirked.
"then let me prove it to you." Natsu said coldly before his body glowed red and crimson Armor plating started appearing on him as he flashed.
Natsu was now wearing a red-armoured, demon-horned warrior Armor with spiral motifs on his shoulder pads and head, and was armed with an enormous two-handed halberd equipped with a retractable chain-linked blade
"let see if you still have that smug face when I'm done with you" Natsu said with venom in his voice
"You seem eager for an ass kicking. Okay, Hey Gramps! Don't blame me if I accidentally kill the guy!" Laxus laughed before building up lightning around his hand.
"what is that Armor?" Gray asked as he felt a little creeped out from seeing Natsu wearing such demonic looking Armor
""I don't know why, but I sense that Armor is emitting some weird magic"" Erza thought as she sensed the magic properties that was being emitted from the Armor
""Reiter no Yoroi"" Makarov squinted his eyes to Natsu's armor as he was quiet curious
""that Armor is known for it's heavy strain on the mage's body and its heavy weight when adorned""
""he's holding back against Laxus"" (Blassreiter: Herman Satza Demoniac form. Not own by me!)
"You're going down you little punk." Laxus said annoyed by Natsu's tone towards him. He then put his arm up and shot a large ball of lightning at Natsu.
As it approached Natsu, he gripped his Halberd handle tightly. He then swatted the large ball of lightning into the sky as it exploded.
"Not bad." Laxus said and smiled a little. "But let's see how you deal with this." Natsu noticed below him the ground started glowing. He was then showed standing on a yellow magic circle. He then jumped back and dodged a pillar of lightning shooting up from the ground from where he was standing.
"You're pretty quick on your feet." Laxus said amused he was able to dodge it.
""Lightning?"" Natsu thought.
"Alright you little bean sprout. Try THIS on for size!" He then held both his hands in front of him. A orb of magic collected in his hands. He then shot it out of his hands and a large beam of magic shot out and headed straight for Natsu.
Natsu then simply held up his hand towards the beam before it engulfed him. When the beam had passed him and blew up a giant pile of logs, much to Laki's distress, Natsu appeared unscathed, as he slowly opened his hand showing small bits of lightning escaping from it.
"What was that suppose to do?" Natsu asked him inn a bored monotone.
"Tch!" Laxus then slammed his hand in the ground and sent a big wheel of lightning at him, destroying the ground while heading for the pink hair man.
Natsu spins his halberd in his hands as he throws it and it was headed straight for the lightning wheel.
The two attacks exploded from coming into contact, effectively cancelling it out.
Natsu then catches his halberd back and was waiting to see what else he would do.
"Not bad at all. I may have to start taking this a bit more seriously." Laxus smiled darkly. He then cloaked himself in lightning and then shot towards Natsu.
Natsu then punched the palm of his hand, ignited his fist, and then met Laxus's fists head on as the two were in a power struggle with each other. Natsu easily holds his ground while Laxus was surprised.
Lightning collided with crimson fire, and the pressure from the two attacks were sending shock waves around them.
"how pathetic are you?" Natsu said as he pushed back Laxus easily, causing him to stumble back out of his cloak of lightning.
"He pushed him back!?" Gray exclaimed.
"You little bastard. You're holding back aren't you!" Laxus scowled.
"I ain't no wild animal who goes head on with an over ego headed hedgehog" Natsu scoffed.
"I'll make you eat those words!" Laxus shouted as He then held his hand up to the sky and chanted.
"Resounding thunder, plunge from the heavens, and reap destruction.." A large mass of lightning was gathering in the sky above Natsu as he eyed it.
"Raging Bolt!" He shouted before sending the large lightning attack at Natsu.
"Hell's Chain"
Natsu throwed his chain up as it then plunged to the ground bellow him
Natsu then leans forward his halberd at the attack as the lightning got absorbed into the halberd and flows down to the chain and into the ground
"like I said, an over ego headed hedgehog" Natsu said as he spins his halberd and leans it on his shoulder
Laxus gritted his teeth in anger as he glared at Natsu
"did he cancel the attack!?" Lucy exclaimed
"he did" Erza replied to her
"he used an old lightning rod trick with his halberd and his chain as he used them to make the lightning follow the metallic composition in the chain and into the ground"
They then saw the dust around blowing away as both men dashed at each other and was now exchanging blows at a speed that some of the members couldn't follow.
"Just go down already!" Laxus shouted as he tried to land a lightning imbued punch at Natsu who tilt his head easily to dodge it
"Make me" Natsu said as he kicks away Laxus and swings the other end of his halberd at his chin as it connected and send Laxus skidding back a bit
"They look equal." Gray noted.
"no, Natsu is holding back" Erza said as Gray and Lucy's eyes widen
"Really?" Lucy was surprised.
"So, you're a little fast. No, you're almost as good as Erza or Mystogan." Laxus said as he stood back up from Natsu's strike while holding his quite bruise chin.
"am I?" Natsu mockingly asked while tapping the halberd at his shoulders as some could tell that Natsu was getting quite bored
"but not as strong as me! I am the strongest mage in this guild" Laxus boasted.
"The strongest? Teh." Natsu scoffed while looking at Laxus in a bored way
"I'm the strongest, and you seem to be in Erza's league" Laxus complimented him, while glancing over at Erza.
"But she doesn't stand a chance against me in the end. That girl isn't even close to the level I am."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Erza shouted while trying to get out of Elfman's and Gray's hold on her
"calm down, Erza!"
"this is between you and me. Don't you dare insult her when I'm around" Natsu said coolly as everyone looks at him in surprised with Erza blushing a bit
"hahaha! Was that supposed to be a threat?!" Laxus laughed at him
Natsu swings his halberd and throws it up before catching it in his left hand
"no" Natsu replied to him as he set his halberd aside on the ground and cracks his neck
"but this is"
Natsu's Armor glowed as the Armor plates expand a bit and created some fiery sparks in it
The helmet expanded a bit as it started to look like a burning demon from hell (reference to Gundam Unicorn entering destroy mode but different, great mecha!)
"I'll show you what true pain feels like"
"Gray" Natsu called out to him as Gray tensed up a bit from the scary voice he just heard
"got a coin?" Natsu asked as he looks at Gray who nodded and he takes out from his pocket a silver coin
Natsu nodded to him as he turns back to look at Laxus
"I'll be ending this before the coin hits the ground" Natsu said as Laxus smirks in amusement at him
"Haa! Let's see if you can!" Laxus shouted as he dashed towards Natsu who snapped his fingers to signal Gray to throw the coin
Gray flips the coin up high and in an instant, Natsu disappeared and then reappeared behind Laxus who got caught off guard
Natsu grabbed Laxus back neck as he then slams his face down to the ground and started dragging Laxus's face on the ground before throwing him up high in the air
He then grabs his halberd and spins it a little before clenching it hard
"I'LL BLAST YOU AWAY!" Laxus shouted as he fired a large lightning bolt at Natsu
Natsu scoffed as he spins the halberd in front of him before having his Halberd electrocuted with sparks of electricity in it
"you've reaped what you sown" Natsu said as he pulled his chain and throws it at Laxus
The chain wrapped around Laxus's waist as he was pulled down by Natsu who jumped up and got above Laxus as he spins his halberd again before throwing it at Laxus who turned around, only to get the spinning halberd attack onto his stomach
"GAAAAAH!"
The halberd flied back to Natsu who caught and was now spinning his body around like a flaming wheel as he sends a devastating flaming drop kick onto Laxus's guts (One Piece's Sanji's attack on Luffy's head. Great anime by the way!)
"...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!" Laxus roared in pain as he was send crashing to the ground
CRASH!
Laxus was now in a crater with Natsu's leg on top of his stomach
Natsu leans his hand forward as he caught the falling coin in his hand
"had enough?" Natsu said with a huff as he got off Laxus and walks away with his Armor condensing back to normal as the flames on his Armor disappear
"Y..you..punk." Laxus scowled before slowly getting up while holding his bruised-up stomach
"My apologies. Next time I won't miss the vitals" Natsu stated in a serious tone. Everyone then looked in fright and shock to Natsu's words
"You little shit.." Laxus scowled in anger before standing up. "You think i'm just gonna stay dow-"
"That's enough." Makarov said as he stood between them.
"you're hurt, and If you both continue this, you'll just end up hospitalized."
"DON'T FUCK WITH ME GRAMPS! I'm gonna teach this little shit a lesson!" Laxus roared in protest.
Suddenly Natsu's halberd got near his neck as Natsu's eyes glowed red in his helmet
"don't give me a reason to send you to a hospital, Laxus. you're not worth my time" Natsu threatened him before lowering his halberd away from his neck
"Laxus, just let it go." He said in a more serious tone.
"So, you're on his side now, is that it!? You even made him an S-class in just a day!"
"No, I just don't want you to get seriously wounded. The Fantasia parade is approaching, and I want the whole guild to be able enjoy it along with everyone in town. But if you can't stop being at each other's throats, then how are we supposed celebrate that event?" Makarov explained.
"...Tch! Who gives a shit?" Laxus then scoffed in discuss. He then got up and dusted what was left of his clothes off and glared at Natsu in a threatening manner.
"Next time, you're not gettin' off the hook." Laxus said as he walked off angrily. ""Fantasia parade..hmph. I'll give you guys something to celebrate. You all just wait."" He thought before leaving.
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.
They all looked at Natsu who was just looking at his halberd.
"Sorry gramps." He apologized.
"You don't have to apologize. Laxus may act brash towards the members, but he is a Fairy Tail member, and he thinks he knows what's good for the guild." Makarov sighed.
"If he even knows the meaning of the word" Natsu sarcastically said while spinning his halberd around a bit as he then leans it to his shoulder.
"what are all you looking at?" Natsu asked the crowd who stopped staring at him with interest.
"Yep. Definitely stronger than Laxus." One of them said.
"Well he did beat Jose alone."
"Seems like you've become popular." Makarov said with a smile.
"yeah yeah" Natsu said with a lazy wave of his hand as he walks towards Erza and the others
"I need some time to cool off." Natsu said as his Armor glowed and disappear.
Four hours later
Everyone was now back into rebuilding the guild while Natsu was sleeping peacefully on Erza's lap as they were on a yellow picnic blanket with Milo sleeping near Erza
"he's really a different person when he's sleeping" Lisanna said while poking Natsu's cheek as the latter seems undisturbed
"well that's some of his charm" Mira said with a smile as Erza soothingly caresses Natsu's head gently with her fingers
"I think he just like being spoiled" Erza said with a smile to the pink hair
Lisanna and Mira mischievously smiles to Erza
"looks like someone doesn't realize that the "four days winner's slave" is already over" Mira whispered to Lisanna who nodded
"what are you guys talking about?" Erza asked them while continuing caressing Natsu's head
"nothing, nothing at all" Mira and Lisanna said while smiling to her
Erza just raised an eyebrow to them before turning her attention to Natsu who snuggled more to Erza's lap while letting out a cat like yawn
She giggled to him as she patted his head
Erza then looks around her for a sec as she saw that Mira and Lisanna were handing out some drinks to everyone else
She then gives a quick kiss to Natsu's cheeks before smiling to him
"…Erza…" Natsu muttered out in his sleep as he smiled with his hands reaching to her waist and holds her
Erza looks at Natsu with a soft look as she continued to let him sleep peacefully on her lap
That's a wrap!
Bye bye!
