Chapter 86: Fun In The Beach

Natsu laid on top of the bed and felt the bedsheets to be soft and elastic, making him feel like he was in heaven. He took a bath and changed into casual wear consisting of a plain white t-shirt with the 'Fairy Tail' guild symbol on the back and black shorts.

"Not bad I guess. I should go out and meet up with them." Natsu muttered while leaving his room.

When he came outside, he saw the gang had arrived as well. All of them had changed their clothes as well. The girls wore their swimsuits whereas Gray had worn a light blue t-shirt with black shorts.

Erza wore a sexy ruby-red two-piece swimsuit that covered her voluptuous body, confidently showing off her sexy body.

Lucy wore a white bikini with blue edges and some frills that covered her large bust, looking more cute than arousing while wearing them.

Kagura wore a modest white bikini that almost completely covered her big bosom. She was blushing hard, looking like a ripened tomato while trying to cover her private parts. She was also wearing the usual white ribbons in her hair.

Natsu approached them and whistled at the pleasant sight, gaining their attention. Kagura, upon seeing him, quickly hid behind Erza, feeling embarrassed by his gaze.

"Wow, you girls look amazing in those swimsuits." Natsu praised them honestly. It was quite obviously true as well, since every guy around them was staring at their location with gazes reminiscent of hungry wolves. Only Gray showed no interest in their bodies, opting to look at Natsu instead.

"Thanks for the compliment, Natsu. You're looking good as well." Erza accepted his compliment and returned it back to him.

"What do you think of my body, Natsu? Do you like it?" Lucy asked him while making some erotic poses. She wanted to tease him and see his embarrassed expression. Sadly, her seduction had no effect on him.

"Well, you have a nice body. And, you don't need to hide from me, Kagura. It's not like I'm gonna eat you hehe…" Natsu answered before redirecting the conversation toward Kagura, who shyly left Erza's back and stood in front of him.

"Uhm… What do you think of my swimsuit, Natsu-sama?" Kagura asked nervously. She wanted to hear his compliment as well.

"They're very cute. You look good in it." Natsu complimented while patting her head. Kagura accepted his praise with a joyful smile while enjoying his touch.

"Tch.. stop flirting already. We don't have all day to waste. Let's go to the beach already." Gray interrupted them with an annoyed expression. He didn't want to watch Natsu flirting with all the girls. Even if he had no interest in them, it didn't mean he wouldn't get annoyed while watching him do it.

"Ah, you're right, Gray. Let's get going now." Erza said, to which everyone agreed, all of them starting to walk toward the beach.

"Let's play beach volleyball while we're at it." Lucy said excitedly. She wanted to play some games with her friends.

"That's a nice idea, Lucy. I'll go get a ball from the hotel. You guys can go on ahead." Erza agreed with Lucy's plan and left them to go back to the hotel to get a volleyball. The others just went ahead of her and started preparing. Lucy and Kagura started preparing the net for the game whereas Gray prepared seats for them. He placed mats on the sandy beach and impaled some large umbrellas into the sand next to each one, blocking the scorching sunlight.

Soon, Erza returned carrying a volleyball, and all of them started playing the game. Natsu and Kagura agreed to be together in a team whereas others joined to be their opponents.

They played without using magic, so it was only a slightly intense match. Natsu was physically stronger than all of them, but the opposite team had the numbers advantage. Kagura could only support him during the game. After a long match, it finally ended with team Natsu's victory.

"Hah! That was an intense game. I'm all sweaty now. Let's go swimming!" Lucy said while breathing heavily. All of them agreed to her proposal and headed toward the sea.

*Splash*

Suddenly, Lucy splashed some cold seawater toward Natsu, drenching him completely.

"Hehe, have a drink, Natsu. You looked kind of hot so I'm sure you wanted to cool off." Lucy chuckled teasingly after seeing his drenched figure, making Natsu annoyed.

"Y-You little, you can have your water back," he splashing some water back towards her as re-payment. Lucy quickly dodged it, so it headed toward Erza and Kagura instead, drenching them completely.

"Oops…" Natsu and Lucy both exclaimed while looking at Erza who's smile seemed to be twitching. Kagura also glared at him like an angry kitten. Both of them were happily talking about their past before they were rudely interrupted.

"Oho, it looks like you're having some fun, Natsu, Lucy. Let me return the favor as well." Erza said before using her magic to send a large wave of seawater toward Natsu and Lucy. Natsu quickly dodged the attack by flying upwards. Unfortunately, Lucy wasn't the only one caught in her attack, with Gray also being caught up in it.

"Fuck! Why did I have to get wet as well? Let me return the favor then, Ice-Make floor!" Gray shouted angrily while getting out of the water. He cast his magic and froze surrounding water..

"Cough, cough, you didn't need to use your magic, Erza. That's cheating!" Lucy complained, coughing out some water. She was fast enough to get out of the water before Gray froze the area.

"Oh? Are you saying that I'm in the wrong? Then, why don't you show me? Requip: Sea Empress Armour" Erza glared at them while equipping her 'Sea Empress' armor.

This armor was green in color with bluish parts. The breastplate, which barely covered Erza's breasts, left her belly and her back visible, somewhat resembling seaweed. It had some thin chains hanging from it over Erza's exposed parts, with a pair siding her breasts and another the belly; a fifth chain was visible around her neck, which was guarded by the large collar. The armor was completed by a headgear, with a large metal part covering her forehead, bearing a whirl-shaped wave on it, and large fin-shaped protrusions siding her head. The armor came equipped with a long sword which seemed to be made of crystal, with many small crystals jutting out in every direction from the hand-guard.

Natsu quickly teleported beside Kagura and carried her like a princess in the sky before they started battling.

"Kyaa!!" Kagura squealed cutely when Natsu carried her. She blushed hard and hugged him his neck tightly.

"Relax, Kagura. I just didn't want you to get caught up in their shenanigans. You're still not strong enough to join in." Natsu comforted, making Kagura look downwards. She was surprised to see multiple colorful explosions littering their previous location. Erza and Gray were ferociously battling each other using their magic. Erza was using her 'Sea Empress' armor to control the nearby water, while Gray used his ice-make magic to counter her attacks while simultaneously counterattacking her.

Lucy was caught up in the middle of their fight and couldn't escape in time.

"Geez… don't blame me for this. Open the gate of the water bearer, Aquarius." Lucy summoned her strongest celestial spirit to escape her current predicament.
