It had been a whole week since the battle between Natsu, Gajeel, and Yuuki, and everything had finally returned to normal. After the fight, Natsu and Gajeel had suffered serious injuries, which worried everyone. However, Yuuki quickly healed them using the healing magic of Sky Dragon Slayer Magic, treating their wounds almost instantly.
After their bodies were healed and they regained consciousness, Natsu immediately caused a commotion by demanding a rematch with Yuuki. However, Erza immediately smacked him hard on the head and scolded Natsu, reminding him that Yuuki's final attack had destroyed five hundred meters of the open field, leaving a massive crater at its center. If Yuuki hadn't held back, both Natsu and Gajeel might have already been dead.
Natsu rubbed the bump on his head with a wronged expression. Meanwhile, Gajeel simply stared at Yuuki for a moment before leaving, saying that he would train alone for a few weeks. Of course, Panther Lily followed after him to join Gajeel's training.
During the past week, Yuuki had also grown closer to the core members of Fairy Tail and gotten to know them better. He even tagged along with Lucy, Natsu, and Happy on some of their quests, since he had never been on a quest before.
This made Natsu feel smug, knowing that he finally had something Yuuki didn't. However, Yuuki didn't mind and simply shook his head.
At this moment, Yuuki was walking toward the Fairy Tail guild hall, as he had already bought a place to stay in Magnolia.
As Yuuki entered the guild hall, several of his guildmates greeted him.
"Morning, Yuuki. You're early." Fried said.
"Good morning, Yuuki-nii!" Romeo greeted him cheerfully.
"Oh, Yuuki, you're here." Laki waved at him.
Yuuki greeted everyone who called out to him before walking over to Laki, who was sitting with Wendy, Carla , Nab, and Warren.
"Morning, Laki. Good morning to you too, Nab, Warren, Wendy, and Carla." Yuuki said.
Wendy smiled warmly. "...Good morning, Yuuki-san."
"Good morning." Carla also greeted Yuuki plainly.
"By the way, how's the training going?" Yuuki asked Wendy.
After his fight with the two Dragon Slayers, Wendy had timidly asked Yuuki to teach her martial arts. Of course, Yuuki had agreed to teach the sweet girl, but he didn't teach her his martial arts instead, he had taught her something else.
It was called Sky Dragon Dance, a martial art derived from the Sky Dragon Tempest Art. Unlike the Sky Dragon Tempest Art, which focused on power and defense, the Sky Dragon Dance emphasized power and elegance, making it especially well-suited for a girl like Wendy.
Hearing his words, Wendy smiled brightly and began telling Yuuki about her experiences over the past few days. Seeing the joy on her face as she excitedly explained everything, Yuuki felt satisfied watching her.
Nab, Warren, Laki, and Carla also joined the conversation, making them laugh and giggle from time to time.
It was at this moment that Natsu and Happy returned with dejected expressions. They headed straight to the counter and ordered a meal. The others were curious about why Natsu looked so down, so he told them what had happened during his visit to Lucy's place, which made everyone burst out laughing at him.
"You're so lame, Natsu!" Elfman laughed.
"Of course she'd be mad at you if you just barged into her room like that." Carla said, shaking her head at Natsu with clear disappointment.
Just then, the door to the guild quietly opened without anyone noticing. Everyone remained engrossed in their conversation, except for Yuuki, whose magic senses were far beyond normal and sensed a familiar magic power. However, he chose not to do anything for the time being and simply listened to the chatter of his guildmates.
Max also shook his head with a laugh. "And I heard you even used her bath to take a bath?"
"I agree. Even between teammates, there are certain boundaries that should be respected." Erza added, crossing her arms.
Natsu didn't say anything and simply continued eating as he listened to his guildmates' words. However, judging by his blank expression, he didn't seem to understand any of it.
"If you're ever short on money, you can always come here. I'll treat you to a meal, Natsu." Kinana said, feeling sorry for Natsu.
"Well, it's not like a dense guy like you would understand any of this." Gray said with a playful grin.
Meanwhile, Happy, who was eating a fish, said, "But I do wish she could be a little nicer to us." He took another bite before continuing, "With that attitude of hers, it's no surprise she still doesn't have a boyfriend."
Hearing Happy's words, the rest of the Fairy Tail members burst into laughter at Lucy's predicament.
"That's for sure!" Wakaba added with a laugh.
Max, who was sitting at the same table with Wakaba, Macao, and Elfman, snickered. "Even when she does find a guy, doesn't he run off immediately?"
"That's because she's a spoiled ojou-sama with a tough interior." Macao laughed.
"Mm. Only a man with true ferocity could match her." Elfman said with a nod.
"Sigh, Lucy should really learn to be more ladylike, like our Levy." Jet said, shaking his head.
Droy nodded in agreement. "If only she acted a little cuter."
Meanwhile, Levy wore a stiff smile as she reluctantly joined in on the fun. "She doesn't seem all that ladylike to me, either..."
Her words made the entire guild erupt into another round of laughter.
What they didn't know was that the very Lucy they were talking about had accidentally become invisible and was already inside the guild, listening to all their teasing. A vein nearly popped on her forehead as she silently fumed at their words.
"So... this is how these guys talk about me behind my back." Lucy said stiffly as the corner of her lips twitched.
Yet, before she could lose her temper, Warren added another comment.
"Sigh, I wonder who would even marry Lucy?"
Hearing him, Macao laughed and said, "Hah, I'd be amazed if someone really ma—"
"I would."
"Eh?"
Macao hadn't even finished his words when someone suddenly cut his words, and said that he would marry Lucy. Not only was Macao stunned, but everyone in the guild also wore various expressions upon hearing those unexpected words, including Lucy, whose face instantly flushed with surprise and embarrassment.
Turning toward the source of the voice, everyone saw that it was actually Yuuki. The male members of Fairy Tail couldn't help but drop their jaws, as over the past week, they understood that Yuuki might be a bit similar to those men from Blue Pegasus.
Meanwhile, the girls had various reactions. Erza's brows briefly furrowed into a frown, but she quickly returned to her usual expression as if nothing happened. Laki covered her lips, amazed that Yuuki could say something so bold, though she also couldn't help feeling jealous of Lucy.
On the other hand, Kinana, Lisanna, Levy, Wendy, and Carla found Yuuki's words rather romantic. Carla, in particular, was completely captivated by the scene. Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at Yuuki, clearly touched by his bold declaration.
The only one with an exaggerated reaction was Mirajane, who looked utterly dejected at the thought of her precious little brother being stolen away by Lucy.
"Uh... Yuuki-kun. Do you not want Onee-chan anymore?"
Mirajane's hair began to stand on end as magic power erupted from her body, making her look as though she were seconds away from transforming into her Satan Soul form.
"Why are you guys so surprised?" Yuuki asked and looked over his guildmates before continuing, "Lucy is charming to begin with. She's beautiful, has a great figure, she's strong, and she never gives up no matter how difficult things get. Sure, her personality can be a little eccentric and narcissistic sometimes, but honestly, who in this guild is completely normal?"
Yuuki smiled and secretly glanced in Lucy's direction. "If no one realizes how wonderful she is, then that's fine. I'll just take her for myself. After all, I'd be pretty foolish to let a wonderful girl like Lucy slip away."
Seeing that Yuuki was smiling yet seemed completely serious about his words, everyone was left truly speechless. Though, they had to admit they admired Yuuki's boldness and his earnest words.
"How wonderful..." Carla whispered, clearly touched by Yuuki's confession. Wendy smiled wryly at her reaction, though she couldn't help feeling a little jealous of Lucy for having someone like Yuuki who genuinely wanted her.
It was Wakaba who finally broke the silence.
"W-Well, I hope you can tame that tomboy princess th—"
SPLASH!
Suddenly, Wakaba was drenched by the beer Macao had been drinking.
"What was that, Macao!?" Wakaba snapped angrily, assuming that Macao had deliberately splashed him with beer. He immediately retaliated by splashing his own beer at Macao.
"Hah?! It wasn't me!" Macao retorted as he grabbed Wakaba by the collar.
"If it's not you, then who is it?!" Wakaba shot back, refusing to back down as he grabbed Macao by the collar as well.
Meanwhile, the other members of Fairy Tail somehow got mysteriously caught up in the chaos, and before long, a massive brawl broke out inside the guild, creating yet another chaotic scene.
Jet suddenly felt his ear being twisted, causing him to instinctively punch Droy.
"What did you punch me for?!" Droy shouted angrily before punching Jet back.
"You started it!"
Looking at the chaotic scene, Yuuki couldn't help but chuckle, knowing well who had caused all this commotion. However, he made no attempt to stop them. Instead, he grabbed a glass of beer and moved to a quieter corner of the guild where there were fewer people.
However, as he was walking, Yuuki suddenly bumped into something or rather, someone, even though there appeared to be no one there. A familiar voice immediately rang out.
"Ah!"
Pretending to be confused, Yuuki looked around as though searching for the source of the voice.
"Huh? Lucy? Is that you?" Yuuki asked with his probing tone deliberately.
Yuuki started waving his arms around, trying to locate Lucy, only for his hand to suddenly land on something soft and bouncy.
BOING!
"Kyaa! Y-Yuuki, d-don't touch me there." Lucy who turned invisible shyly said as Yuuki's hands was accidentally touching her ample breast.
This time, Yuuki was truly stunned. He had only been reaching out randomly to find her, yet somehow, he didn't expect to be so lucky to (cough), he had accidentally grabbed Lucy's breast.
He had to admit her breast feels really good. It was soft and big making Yuuki wanted continue rubbing it. However, knowing it would be impolite to keep touching her, Yuuki reluctantly moved his hand away.
"Mnnn~"
The sudden movement caused Lucy to let out a soft, involuntary moan, leaving Yuuki speechless.
'Why are you suddenly making a seductive moan?!' Yuuki thought.
Lucy who was still invisible, couldn't help but glare at Yuuki to hide her embarrassment. Yet, when she saw the reluctant expression on his face, she was left speechless.
Her lips twitched as she asked, "Is it soft?"
"Soft." Yuuki answered, subconsciously nodding.
"Do you like it?" Lucy asked.
"I like it." Yuuki replied without hesitation.
"Pervert!" Lucy finally couldn't take it anymore and muttered begrudgingly, though there was no real anger in her voice.
Sensing the awkwardness between them, Yuuki decided to change the subject. "Cough... how did you even become invisible?"
Remembering that she was still invisible, Lucy began to panic. She shook her head and replied, her voice becoming slightly teary, "U-Ugh... I-I used a magic potion I left seven years ago, then..."
Lucy began explaining what had happened after she used the potion. Yuuki listened to her story and nodded thoughtfully.
"Come with me. I might be able to turn you back to normal." Yuuki said.
"Really?!" Lucy's eyes glinted with hope upon hearing Yuuki's words. She knew how capable he was, especially after seeing him defeat Natsu and Gajeel together. Knowing that he might have a solution to her problem, Lucy couldn't help but feel excited.
"Yes, but let's go to one of the rooms on the second floor. It's too chaotic here."
With that, Yuuki and Lucy looked around and saw that the situation had only become more chaotic, with Erza, Natsu, and Gray having joined the brawl, so they decided to go upstairs.
