Upon seeing this, Happy quickly bowed and apologized alongside Natsu.
Promising never to pull that stunt again.
"Yeah! Besides that, we'll be solid partners!"
Natsu's understanding lifted Weiss's mood instantly.
Setting boundaries early was key—no repeats down the line.
Weiss didn't want that headache again.
Joke or not, it was off-limits!
Natsu's reckless, quirky streak was no shock—typical hot-blooded lead vibes.
"Right! We're the toughest, tightest team of four!"
Natsu, sensing Weiss's cool-off, flashed his goofy grin.
"Weiss~"
Lucy, nestled in his arms, gazed at his handsome face, heart racing.
She ached to give him everything.
"Let's roll—no time to waste."
Team set, commission snagged—time to move fast.
"Oh! I'm fired up!"
"Aye!"
Natsu and Happy strutted ahead, arms slung over each other.
Shirotsume Town
Their mission's target.
They rode an RV hauled by a giant purple boar—an Ongila, a tamed magic beast boosting speed with wind magic.
It clocked 800 kilometers in 16 hours—50 mph!
Rent wasn't cheap—8,000 Jewel a day.
After a full-speed hour atop the boar cart, they hit Shirotsume Town.
First stop: client Kaby Melon for a chat, then out of his mansion.
No rush to Duke Everlue's estate—they grabbed lunch instead.
"How about here?"
Natsu pointed at a meat joint, beaming.
"Eat up yourselves—Weiss, let's go."
Lucy waved off, uninterested, tugging Weiss away.
"Why not together? It's more fun!"
Natsu frowned, puzzled, but the restaurant's grub soon erased his questions.
Elsewhere, Lucy led Weiss into a clothing store.
Under his eager stare, she whispered to a salesgirl.
Lucy grabbed a maid outfit from her.
"Weiss, wait a sec~"
Winking with a tongue poke, she sashayed to the dressing room.
Minutes ticked by—Lucy didn't emerge.
If not for her steady breathing and the salesgirl's check-ins confirming all was fine, Weiss would've barged in.
"Wei, Weiss, come in!"
Lucy's shy, flustered voice broke the silence.
"What's up, Lucy?"
Weiss hurried to the dressing room door.
"Just get in—the zipper's stuck!"
Lucy cracked the locked wooden door, sheepish.
Only two salesgirls and two female customers lingered in the shop.
Weiss slipped inside.
Lucy stood half-dressed in the maid outfit—Weiss's sails rose in salute.
"Ah! No way! I just need zipper help~"
Gulp.
Half an hour later, under the store's odd, envious stares, Lucy's fiery-red face burned.
Paying up, she dragged Weiss out.
"Your fault! Strangers mocked me!"
Outside, Lucy pummeled his sturdy chest.
"Alright, my bad—let's link up with Natsu."
Weiss hugged her, soothing her fury.
They swung back to the restaurant, finding Natsu and Happy polishing off their meal.
"Huh? Weiss, Lucy—you're back! I'll grab more grub; this place rocks!"
Natsu grinned at their return.
"Hmph! No thanks—I'm stuffed!"
Lucy shot Weiss a flushed glare.
Weiss smirked, unfazed.
Shy, mad Lucy—so cute, ripe for teasing.
