On with the story
A few days passed as the port town was rebuilt by the townsfolk and fishermen
With the Cthulhu gone, the fish came swimming back to the area and the fishing boats were off to catch them
We turn our attention to the lighthouse as Simon was in the middle of making some rice balls
"there we go" Simon said with a smile as he placed the rice ball on a plate that had another place filled with rice balls beside it
He soon takes the two plates before heading outside
Near the lighthouse was a small table where Kagura and Happy were at while Natsu's carriage and the mechanical horse was nearby
"they're done" Simon said as he place the plates on the table "I made sure to put some punch into the flavours!"
"thank you for the meal!" Kagura and Happy said as the two take a riceball each and bites down
"yummy!" Happy exclaimed as he munches on the riceball in glee
"there's nothing that can beat Nii-san's riceball" Kagura said eating the riceball before finishing it then grabbing another one and bites down "hmmm! This one has grilled tuna in it!"
Simon smiled as the two eats the riceballs with happy faces
After 10 minutes, the riceballs were gone
"I'm full" Kagura said while patting her stomach a few times
"Aye…" Happy said, laying down on the seat as his stomach was bloated
Simon chuckled with a smile before they heard the water exploding near the lighthouse
They turn around and sees the Baltic Hydra rising out of the ocean water, its jaw holding on a giant fishing net that has thousands of fish and other sea creatures caught in it
On top of one of the eight heads, was Natsu who jumped down and landed near the other
"you got one big helluva catch" Simon said seeing the amount of fish that are in the net
"i need a lot because of how many Cait Sith in my kingdom" Natsu said as he soon gave Simon a bag sized sack "here"
"this is?" Simon asked as he opened the sack and inside were dozens of gold coins
"use it in anyway you want" Natsu said "build boats, make houses, anything that you desire"
"why giving me this?" Simon asked confused
"simple" Natsu said before looking to Kagura "I'm taking your little sister as one of my mates"
"wait what!?" Simon exclaimed before grabbing a hold of Natsu "what are you saying?! You can't just take my little sister!"
"Nii-san" Kagura called out as she approached him "it's fine, it's part of the deal"
"what?" Simon said looking more confused
"this" Natsu said as he holds the contract paper in his hand and showed it to Simon "by contract, your sister signed it and by signing it, your life was saved. In the addition of this town will be part of my territory and under my protection"
Simon looks at the contract as he reads the content before sighing
"i-I understand" Simon said as he reluctantly followed the deal "but!"
Simon points a finger at Natsu who looks at it then to the man
"you better treat her nicely! Make sure that she eats properly! And better protect her with your whole life! You hear me?!" Simon exclaimed "I don't care who you are! If you ever do anything to harm my little sister! I'll find you and I'll beat the crap out of you!"
Natsu looks at Simon as his words were serious and tense to him
"i will" Natsu said as he turns and jumps on top of the Hydra's center head "come"
Kagura nodded as she looks to her brother before giving him a hug
"be safe, Kagura" Simon said as Kagura nodded before the two separates
Kagura did a small bow as she made her way to the Hydra as one head leans down for her to get on
The head leans up as Kagura waved her brother goodbye
"Happy" Natsu called out as the feline got up
"Aye" Happy said as he made his way to the carriage and gets on the driver seat
The mechanical horse started pulling the carriage as it was making its way to the road, out of town
Natsu did a small whistle as the Hydra soon started swimming away from the lighthouse before into the open ocean
Simon looks at them as they went away
The old man had a single tear drop slides down his cheeks as he soon waved them goodbye
Kagura watched her brother as they were getting farther and farther away from him
"if you desire" Natsu spoke out as Kagura looks to him and sees him watching forward "if you ever want to come here to visit and stay with your brother for a few days..tell me and I shall grant it"
"but the contract.." Kagura stated as Natsu took his helmet and looks at her
"the contract only states that you are to be my mate, it does not forbid you from ever coming to your hometown" Natsu said before smiling "and besides, I wouldn't want one of my mate to always have such a sad frown"
Kagura looks to him before down while having a smile
"thank you" she muttered out as Natsu smiled before putting his helmet on and faced forward
The Hydra swims through the ocean water, splitting the water as it swims
After 3 hours, the Hydra arrived at a rushing waterfall by a cliff as the water was connecting with the ocean's
"we're here" Natsu said as he raised his hand up and the waterfall's water split apart, revealing a hidden entrance
Kagura looks in surprise as the Hydra swims into the hidden entrance that was soon covered by the waterfall
In the hidden entrance, Kagura looks in amazement to the cave
"welcome" Natsu said as they exited the cave and finds themselves in Dragnof's water "to my kingdom, Dragnof"
Kagura looks bewildered as she couldn't not believe to what she was seeing
"and your new home, my mate" Natsu said as the Hydra swims to the port where Lucy and the Cait Sith were waiting by
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
