Chapter 29: Time-skip

When they entered inside the guild, they were greeted with the usual sight of the loud guild members enjoying themselves. Natsu and Mira both smiled, watching this and approached the counter, holding each other hands.

None of them wanted to hide their relationship from guildmates. The guild members instantly quieted down watching their behavior but cheered loudly later when they understood their new relationship.

All the members congratulated them on their new relationship and wished them the best in the future. The female members, including Lisanna, Levy, and Cana, took Mira away from Natsu for their girls-only discussion. In contrast, the male members, including Elfman, Gray, Macau, Wakaba, etc. took Natsu away from their guy-to-guy conversation.

All the male guildmates applauded Natsu for successfully conquering Mirajane. She still hasn't completely rid of her image as the she-devil of the guild. So, the guys couldn't stop themselves from admiring Natsu for being able to steal her heart.

Soon, there was a loud party inside the guild celebrating their relationship. All of the guildmates couldn't stop themselves from partying when there was such a happy occasion. Natsu and Mira were both embarrassed being in the spotlight of the party, but they didn't mind it too much. They both held each other hands and enjoyed watching their family enjoying themselves.

Later, Makarov also arrived in the guild and wished them a happy relationship. Both Mira and Natsu thanked Makarov for this and enjoyed the party.

Like this, time passed by quickly. Natsu and Mira became even closer as the time passed by. Both of them went to many dates and had many passionate nights, advancing their relationship even further. Both of them deeply love each other now and enjoy the other's company.

Mira also took Natsu's words to heart and started her modeling career. Natsu was a bit skeptical when she told him about it. He doesn't want others to see her in revealing clothes. Maybe it was a fit of petty jealousy, but he asked her never to do modeling for revealing clothes, especially swimsuits. He doesn't want other guys ogling his girlfriend, or you can say, mate.

Mira smiled warmly, watching his jealous expression and promised him never to be a model for revealing clothes. She soon became successful in her career due to her beauty and smile. No guys could stop themselves from liking her, whereas the girls couldn't stop themselves from admiring her due to her beauty.

Natsu also met with Mystogan during this period. Mystogan was even mysterious than shown in the anime. He rarely showed himself in the guild, and even if he did, he would put others to sleep before approaching the guild master for a new quest.

Mystogan was a severe and quiet guy who hides his face with a hoodie. When Natsu told him his identity and Edolas Prince, Mystogan was surprised but asked him to keep it a secret. Natsu naturally agreed, and soon both of them started talking about various mage-related stuff. They became closer to each other as they talked about different things.

Natsu and Erza never reconciled with each other. It was like a cold war between them. Natsu tried to diffuse this situation between them multiple times, but Erza just avoided him like the plague.

Mira even tried to mediate between them, but it failed each time. It's like Erza has closed her heart when it comes to Natsu. She kept going out of the guild for quests and rarely was at the guild. Even when she was at the guild, she held a serious and strict persona talking to other guild members. The only time she was seen smiling was when she was eating her favorite strawberry cake.

Erza naturally gained her fearsome reputation as the Titania of Fairy Tail throughout the nation due to her hard work in completing multiple challenging S-class quests. She became even stronger than her anime counterpart due to constant training and doing challenging quests.

Natsu also became a lot stronger than before with his daily training. He also did many S-class quests and gained a nickname "Salamander"- the same as in the anime. He was feared all across the nation due to his fearsome flame. All the dark mages that came across him were subjected to it, making them bedridden for over a month.

Natsu increased his physical strength tremendously due to harsh training daily. He always increased gravity throughout his body during the training time. He brought out a lot of his hidden physical potential due to such strict discipline. Now, he can confidently say that he can defeat most of the S-class mage across the Fiore using only his physical strength. His strength, speed, endurance, reflex, and stamina increased exponentially with each passing day.

In terms of magic, his growth was even more monstrous. Due to Amaterasu's blessing, his firepower increased tremendously. Now, he can use his dragon force for almost an hour. He also gained Amaterasu mode, which increased his stats by about 100 times. The cooler aspect of the mode is that he can last even longer, absorbing solar energy of the surrounding, making him even deadlier.

He is now at least confident to last a while against the monsters of this world, such as Zeref and Acnologia, and escape if necessary. He still wasn't strong enough to defeat them without unlocking his sealed demonic powers.

Like this, time passed by quickly. It was finally time for the canon to start.

'It's finally time to meet Lucy. I can't keep her waiting now, can I?' thought Natsu happily when he heard some guild member talking about Salamander sighting in Hargeon town.
