Chapter 85

Simply Resigned

Natsu stared down at the piece of paper in his hand, then back at Reedus, then back at the paper.

The bold font read "12th Annual Fairy Tale Ball", underneath was a picture of a man and a woman dancing together.

"I'm telling you every girl wants to be invited to a ball." Vijeeter had joined the conversation shortly after Reedus had first proposed his idea. "Girls are impressed by guys who dance."

Natsu looked down at the paper again, and Reedus could see the resignation behind his eyes.

"The things I do for that weirdo."
