Daryun P.O.V.
The teams finally arrived at their destination and they all smiled, looking at the water crashing against the sand. Daryun looked over and saw Arslan's look of amazement and wonder as he stared at the beach.
"Your Highness, we need to buy what they call 'bathing suits' to go into the water." Daryun reminds him before Arslan can run into the water.
"Of course. Where do we buy them?" Arslan asks.
"I can take you! I need a bathing suit anyway." Wendy says. Carla nods beside her.
"I give you my thanks." Arslan says, smiling.
"It's no problem." Wendy replies. She and Carla go in front of Arslan and Daryun and lead them away to a store to buy the bathing suits. Once inside, Arslan and Daryun look around.
"I was not expecting so many pairs of 'bathing suits'." Daryun ponders.
"Well, for a beach store, there actually is less than normal. Besides, they have other things like sweaters, hats, necklaces, some foods too. Now, let's pick out your bathing suits." Carla says. Daryun and Arslan nod. Wendy nods at Carla and leaves in a different direction, probably picking out her own bathing suit, and Carla leads the two men to the men's section. Arslan gravitated towards the lighter colors and Daryun to the darker, but the never really leave each other line of sight.
Daryun goes through the hanging bathing suits, grabbing onto a black pair and showing them to Carla.
"Are these good?" He asks. Carla nods.
"Now let's see what Arslan has chosen." She says, leading Daryun over to where Arslan went. Arslan is holding a light blue pair.
"I was just about to look for you. How about these?" He asks, holding them in front of him.
"Those are lovely. Now let's find Wendy, buy the bathing suits, and join the others in training." Carla says. She leads the duo over to the girls section and spots Wendy looking over a couple of bathing suits before choosing one and putting the other back.
"Hi Carla, Arslan, Daryun. Are you guys ready?" Wendy asks as she looks up and spots the group.
"Yes, we are just waiting for you." Arslan answers. Wendy nods.
"Well, I'm done now so let's go!" She says, going over to the counter and putting her bathing suit on it. Arslan and Daryun follow her lead and watch as the person behind the desk goes through the items and puts the prices together.
"Are you in a guild?" He asks, looking at them. Wendy nods.
"Yes, we are all part of Fairy Tail. We're here to train for the grand magic games." She answers. The person nods.
"Alright, discount. Because you are going to need all your money for food and such, you can have these for free. Just spread news of my store around, alright?" They say. Wendy nods, smiling.
"Thank you! We will be sure to advertise." She says. She picks up all the bathing suits, hands them to their owners, and then runs into a room to get dressed. Arslan and Daryun do the same, and soon they are all ready to start training.
The group walks back onto the beach with their previous cloths in their arms and set them down in a small pile. Wendy ran off with Carla to the water, splashing around with her.
"Hey guys! Now that you have your bathing suits, are you going to start training or relax first?" Lucy asks, walking over to them in her white bikini with a small pink heart on the top. Arslan and Daryun's eyes widen considerably and they turn around.
"Um, Lucy, are you aware you are walking around in just your undergarments?" Arslan asks.
"These are not 'undergarments' as you put it. It's a bathing suit, a bikini. Many girls wear them. It's quite normal for these to be seen around beaches. You can turn back around." She says with a giggle.
"The only other woman I have seen in so little attire was Farangis." Arslan says, reluctantly turning around.
"I know what you mean, Sire. It is quite unusual. You say people walk around like that normally?" Daryun asks.
"Of course!" Lucy answers.
"Oh. Alright, I guess." Arslan says.
"Alright, so now that you have gotten over your cultural shock, what are you going to do?" Lucy asks.
"I do not know." Arslan asks, looking at Daryun.
"Alright then, come with me." Lucy says. She leads the two over to the ocean and walks in, leaning down to wet her hands. She waits until Arslan and Daryun are just behind her to quickly take her hands out and splash them, giggling at their surprised expressions. She walks further into the water until it reaches her shoulders and starts swimming around. Daryun and Arslan carefully tread into the water. They look at each other and smile before Arslan splashes Daryun. Daryun laughs and splashes Arslan back, and pretty soon a splash war starts between the entire Team Natsu.
Eventually, when everyone is drenched and their cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling, they decide to start training. They wad out of the water and go to do their own thing, Daryun and Arslan training with their sword and spear, Lucy with her spirits, Natsu with his fire dragon slayer magic, Juvia with her water magic, Erza practicing with swords, Gray using his ice magic, and Wendy reading something with Levy's encouragement. They practice for hours before deciding they should be done for the day. They head back to the Akane Inn to eat and sleep, doing the same thing the next day.
