Ch 83: New party

The day after Rochen returned with Erza and the others to Fairy Tail, a party was held to commemorate the safe return of the party.

Rochen was also called by Makarov to be questioned. But after some deep talk, he was eventually released with little to almost no trouble.

Rochen, who had breakfast in the dining room of as if nothing had happened, was called by Erza early in the morning.

He finished his breakfast and went to Magnolia town residence area.

There, all the members of Natsu's party would gather in the morning.

"Now that everyone has their furniture, we can start living here tomorrow!"

"We'll be living together? I'm fired up!!!"

" Natsu, don't burn the furniture! And you, Gray, don't strip in the living room!!!"

Right, after the last incident, based on Rochen's advice, the party decided to live together.

Of course, they didn't know that all of this was Rochen's plan and they enjoyed the advice. Still, when they saw Rochen had arrived, the group was shocked.

" Rochen, you…"

The first one to greet Rochen was Lucy. The last impression of blocking Etherion was just too strong, and she could not help but blush when she saw Rochen.

"Ah, it's Lucy? Good Morning, Lucy!"

Being greeted by Rochen and given such a warm smile, Lucy felt her heartbeat getting faster.

At this time, his presence was finally noticed by Natsu and the others.

" Ahhh!! Isn't it Rochen? What are you doing here?"

Natsu and Gray who saw Rochen, immediately came at him. Both of them had that fiery personality and could not help but want to compare with Rochen.

Rochen just gave them a smile.

Because soon, the person that explains everything would come.

" It's me. I'm the one that invites Rochen! And also, I'm going to invite him to our party!" A voice came from the side.

When everyone turned their head, they saw Erza with her armor was standing tall.

Everyone was shocked. Especially Lucy.

" Wait, do you mean that Rochen will join our party? Lucy said in disbelief.

" Well, it is like that. Do you have any complaints?" Erza's eyes narrowed with a cold light.

" No, No, we don't have any complaints!" Natsu and Gray quickly replied. It seems they were still a bit traumatized by Erza.

Natsu and Gray looked troubled, while Lucy was all smile.

Because to her, the appearance of Rochen meant a strong guy would join their party, and it would only benefit them.

The group of five eventually settled down, and Natsu and the others welcomed Rochen to their party.

"By the way, we haven't cleaned the room yet."

"Then let's clean it together today!"

"Then Erza, you're going to clean with me, okay?"

Rochen offered to help Erza, who blushed and muttered, " I… I.I'll take care of the bathrooms, kitchen, and water areas" Before she ran away.

Rochen chuckled. It seems Erza still being shy after yesterday's incident.

Nonetheless, she won't be able to escape tonight.

In the meantime, Gray and Natsu were to clean the corridors and cafeteria.

"I'll take care of the outside. Lucy, would it be okay if you and Rochen worked together?"

"Well, of course. Our Lucy, she had grown up!" Natsu said, full of confidence

"...Growing up?"

Erza froze as if she had just heard a word she didn't like.

For some reason, she was now conscious of the relationship between men and women. And looking at Lucy and comparing her breast with hers, for some reason Erza felt a bit lost.

Of course, the others except Rochen didn't know what Erza was thinking.

" Yeah, she even defeated one of the members of the trio yesterday!" Gray continued.

As for Lucy, she just stood there blushing with all the compliments.

Natsu and the others currently did not know that everything was under Rochen's grand scheme.

Therefore, they just followed the plan to clean the house.

At this time, the only one left in the living room was Lucy and Rochen. Both worked to clean the house.

Though not even five minutes had passed, Rochen could already feel a glare focusing on him.

" Hmmm? What is it? Do you have something to say to me, Lucy?"

" AH!!! No, its okay!"

Lucy who was caught red-handed, was flustered. Obviously, the one that kept peeking at Rochen was Lucy.

It was already there before. But when the two were left alone, this feeling got stronger.

For sure Rochen was handsome, but she was not a person which only judged a person by his appearance. So why is she feeling like this?

Unknown to her, Rochen had a special charm that was very lethal to humans, and she could only fall to it.

The more time passed, the more she felt the curiosity in her mind was unbearable. She was really curious about Rochen, and she could not help but open her mouth and ask: "Rochen, can I ask you something?"
