Chapter 84: V.I.P Tickets

After having their meal, Natsu and Kagura headed toward the guild. When they entered, they found Loke talking with Lucy about something. He had many tickets in his hands, which he gave to Lucy before disappearing from the site. The tickets looked like V.I.P tickets for those high-class hotels/resorts.

Lucy excitedly called her friends over. It looked like only Mira, Erza and Gray were present at the moment. Lisanna and Levy were both out for a job. Lucy asked them something, to which Erza and Gray agreed, but it looked like Mira didn't agree to it, apologizing and leaving them to do her work.

Lucy looked around and found Natsu and Kagura entering the guild. She hurriedly waved her hands, gesturing for them to come over. Both of them looked at each other and nodded, heading to her location. They were curious about why Lucy called out to them.

"Hey, Natsu, Kagura! Loke gave me some V.I.P tickets for 'Akane Resorts' for a vacation. Are you interested in joining us? I've already asked Erza and Gray to join me and they both agreed. Sadly, Mira couldn't join us due to some work." Lucy cheerfully asked them, seeming to be in a good mood.

'This should be the beginning of the 'Tower of Heaven' arc if I remember correctly.' Natsu thought inwardly while making a pondering pose outwardly.

"Sure, why not? I don't have any plans for the next few weeks. What about you Kagura?" Natsu replied, then followed with a question to Kagura.

"Uhm… If Natsu-sama is going there then I'm going as well. Thank you for the invitation Lucy-san." Kagura accepted readily, bowing slightly toward Lucy afterward. If Natsu was joining then she'd have no reason to refuse.

"You don't need to be so polite, Kagura-chan, and be sure to prepare your things. We'll be leaving tomorrow. See you later, Natsu, Kagura! I also need to make some preparations for the vacation." Lucy said before leaving them. She wanted to have a nice, relaxing vacation to blow some steam due to feeling stressed from the recent events.

Erza and Gray also approached them. Erza with a smile on her face whereas Gray had an irritated expression.

"I guess Lucy invited you two as well. Then, I'll see you tomorrow, Natsu, Kagura! I also need to prepare for the vacation." Erza said before leaving the guild as well. Natsu nodded and smiled in return.

'I hope something romantic happens during the vacation.' Erza giddily thought while leaving. She planned to make some progress in her relationship with Natsu there. Gray just clicked his tongue and left the guild, but not without giving Natsu a 'menacing' glare.

"Don't you have to prepare for tomorrow as well, Natsu-sama?" Kagura asked with her head cocked like a cute puppy, seeing as Natsu wasn't leaving the guild. She thought he would join her to make some preparations.

"Well, I always carry my stuff with me inside my 'Requip' inventory. So, I don't need to waste my time to make any preparations." He answered, making Kagura surprised. He always carried his stuff inside his pocket dimension. Therefore, he was always prepared for any occasion.

"Then, shouldn't Erza-san be able to do that as well? Why did she have to leave to make preparations?" Kagura titled her head cutely, her tone filled with doubt. Natsu gave her a smile and patted her head gently.

"Well, her 'Requip' is a bit different than mine. I mainly use it as supportive magic to store anything inside my inventory except living beings, but Erza uses it mainly for combat by storing and releasing different magical clothes, armors, and weapons." Natsu explained before Kagura interjected.

"Then doesn't that mean Natsu-sama's 'Requip' magic is stronger than Erza-san's?" Kagura interrupted him. Natsu couldn't help himself from roughly grinding his palms against her head, messing up her hair as a punishment for interrupting him.

"Let me say the whole thing first. It may look like Erza's 'Requip' is weaker than mine, but that's not the case at all. Her casting speed is way faster than mine is. 'Requip' is a type of spatial magic that creates a pocket dimension to store different items. You could say that storage size and equipping speed are inversely proportional to each other. In my case, I don't care about the equipping speed, so I focus completely on the storage size. That's why I can store a lot of stuff, but the result is a slow equipping speed." Natsu gave a detailed explanation, making her listen with full concentration. She was surprised to learn such facts about 'Requip' magic.

Natsu pinched her nose, making her glare at him like an angry kitten, and continued with his explanation. "But Erza needs faster-equipping speed for combat, that's why she has limited storage. If I guessed right, she can only store her armors and weapons, as well as few other clothes inside her 'Requip' inventory. Unless she expands her magic container, she would have to deal with having very limited space."

"I understand now, Natsu-sama. Thank you for the explanation." Kagura thanked Natsu with a bow. She felt glad to learn more about Erza's magic.

"It's no problem," Natsu replied with a playful smile, continuing to mess up her hair before she swatted his hands away and glared at him.

"Please don't mess with my hair, Natsu-sama. If you don't have anything more to say then I'll take my leave. I also need to prepare for the journey tomorrow. See you later!" Kagura fixed her hair and quickly sped out of the guild. She didn't want to be teased any further.

"Silly girl," he muttered with a fond smile while heading over to help Mira, lightening her load for the rest of the day. Then, when darkness enveloped the skies of Magnolia, the two of them headed home for the night. Both of them took a nice bath together and slept together after a steamy make-out session.

'I can't wait for tomorrow.' Natsu thought before drifting off to sleep.

(A/N: I kinda made my own stuff up for the Requip magic. I hope you like it. Also, don't forget to vote for this story using your power stones. It's almost 1k. I'll mass release when achieved! So, go vote now!!)
