The next day:
Waking up again to the sound of his alarm, Natsu then yawned as he got up. Natsu then got himself ready as he walked to the halls and noticed that he was the only one awake. Natsu's stomach then growled which made Natsu groan. 'Looks like I have to cook'' Natsu thought as he walked into the kitchen and got the ingredients to make pancakes.
Maho then yawned as she exited her room before she walked to the hall in her pyjamas before she stopped all of a sudden. Maho then started smelling the air as a sweet aroma filled her mind. 'That smells delicious' Maho thought with stars in her eyes as she ran towards the source of the smell. Maho then entered the kitchen and saw Natsu cooking. "You can cook?!" Maho shouted as Natsu sighed.
"Yes of course, I can otherwise I wouldn't have lasted a week before I met you both." Silence descended as they ate.
After a few more minutes, Miho was awake and Natsu was forced to cook more.
"I didn't know you could cook, Natsu" Miho commented as she finished her pancakes.
'You don't know much about me at all apart from that I'm a dragon. I haven't even told you about E.N.D.' he thought to himself.
"Let's go to school, once you've finished as we have an assembly today."
"Yeah Ok, let's go,"
"Oh by the way Natsu we're taking the bus today," Maho said smugly as she watched the colour drain out of the boy's face.
"What? No!" Natsu exclaimed in horror.
"Well to bad we're going." She replied.
In front of the school:
After the torture that was the bus, they all got off the bus with the two girls laughing at the boy's misery.
"Where are they? They should be here by now." A voice said
Natsu distinctly recognised Erika's voice and turned to see Erika walking towards them.
Upon noticing Natsu and Maho she greeted them both in her native language with, "Morning Maho, Natsu!"
"Is something wrong?" Erika asked as she noticed Natsu draped over Maho's shoulder.
"Well it's just that I have really bad motion," Natsu was cut off by a girl at the gate as they neared the school gate.
"Good everyone's here " the girl stopped short when she saw Maho holding up Natsu
"How dare you touch another student like that! I should give you five demerits and a detention for this!" the girl said storming up to Natsu.
He stood his ground however, and replied calmly, "Oi it's not my fault for my motion sickness" as he then thought 'That god said that he had cured me, so why have I still got it.'
She then huffed again and said, "Don't talk back! I knew that this would happen if male perverts were allowed into Kuromorimine, and," she stopped short when Natsu spoke up again,
"If you're going to discriminate against all males because of this, maybe you shouldn't be the head of the Public Morals Committee. It'd be pretty un-becoming of one of their members to discriminate based on gender now wouldn't it?" Natsu said
The girl looked as though she were about to say something, but then sighed and said, "Fine, point taken. But I better not catch you being a pervert around this school or else!" She warned.
Natsu nodded in approval. "Understood. I have every intention of treating everyone here with the utmost respect, so there's no need for an uproar."
"Fine, fine. You can go now," she finally relented.
The afternoon:
Natsu and Maho with Erika were sitting back down for their final classes of the day, it was announced over the intercom for everyone to gather in the gymnasium. "Well, it looks like the student council will be doing their introduction for electives again this year." a girl noted as she walked past with a group of friends.
"As per usual, tankery remains the most popular elective, but we have a new addition to the school and how tankery is run, as you all know Sensha-Dou has been a female based sport since its creation. But with the introduction to boys into the sport the officials have decided to expand it outwards and add an aerial aspect to warfare, that we think will be equally as popular by years end." Aiko Ikeda stated.
The duo exited the stage as the lights were dimmed and a video began playing on the screen.
Natsu immediately recognised the footage as footage of himself during the gunnery practice at the Nishizumi manor where it showed a video of the explosion with clips of robotic dragons thrown in to make it seem as though it wasn't an actual dragon, not that anyone would believe an actual one existed.
The video was accompanied by Fuyu giving a background speech about draconic combat, while Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone" played quietly as background music.
After the video finished Aiko stepped back on to the stage and said, "Thank you all for listening if you are interested in what you have seen then when choosing your options please put tankery down as your option, you are all free to go and we look forward to seeing you at the tankery sheds tomorrow." Once she had got off the stage everyone began to file out of the room. Natsu smirked inwardly and thought "This is going to be fun! I can't wait to see what everyone's reaction will be'.
"Hey Miho, Maho do you want to go on a flight later?" He said.
"REALLY?!" said Miho excitedly.
"But won't you get spotted you might cause a panic?" Asked Maho worriedly.
"Yes I'm sure, it will be fine besides I can easily camouflage myself with the trees." Natsu said. "So do you want to go then?"
"Yes please," Miho said.
"Okay," Maho said unsure.
"Alright but we have class, when we get home then we'll go on that flight, okay?" Natsu said smiling in amusement.
"We'll see you later Miho, have fun in class," Maho said as they waved goodbye to each other before turning to go to their class.
After school had finished:
After meeting up with Miho at the house Natsu suddenly said, "So now that school has ended, who's up for that flight?" He then shifted quickly into his dragon form.
"You've really gotten bigger. Do you think I could ride you please?" Maho said.
To answer her question, Natsu used his tail to lift the two females up onto his back and set them securely between his large dorsal spines. The next second, he was leaping into open air.
Maho laughed and Miho screamed in excitement. Natsu spiralled upwards. He reached a peak and then dropped out of the sky, listening to his friend's joyous laughing. Once they were out of the clouds, Natsu made a sharp turn and made for the wilderness, so that prying eyes wouldn't spot them flying around.
