Looking at the gorilla excitedly beating its chest, Natsu and Happy's eyes gradually widened.
Suddenly, Happy shouted: "Natsu! This is bad, hurry and save Lucy, she'll be broken by this gorilla!"
Because he was a cat and had no feelings towards humans, he didn't feel how wondrous the current situation was.
Natsu quietly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth!
Lucy's figure...
To use the words of that perverted bull Celestial Spirit.
Superb!
"Let my Lucy go!" Natsu roared, his eyes blooming with excited red light.
He stepped back with his right foot, flames wrapping around his body.
He didn't use Dragon Force mode.
It was fine to use a bit more force on the gorilla that Took Over Macao; if it got injured, a bandage would fix it.
If Lucy's delicate and tender skin got burned, Natsu would feel bad for a long time.
Flames burst from his feet, and Natsu launched like a cannonball fired from its barrel, arriving beside Lucy in the blink of an eye.
The moment he got close, Lucy suddenly turned into a five-meter-tall giant gorilla, raising its fists high to smash down on the unreacting Natsu.
"It got bigger!!" Watching the mountain-like gorilla, Happy, observing from the side, puffed up his fur.
"Bang!" The earth shook, and the ice mountain cracked for dozens of meters around the center where the gorilla's fists landed.
Countless shards of ice flew into the sky!
The successfully ambushing gorilla was just about to rejoice when it felt something wrong with its hands.
A scale-covered hand was gripping its giant fist.
The gorilla was bewildered: "A monster?"
"Heh heh!" Natsu chuckled softly from beneath the fist.
If it weren't for the fact that he could activate Dragon Force mode at any time, he would have suffered a minor injury from the gorilla's punch.
Even if a Dragon Slayer's body was stronger than a normal mage's.
This monster was the strongest in this mountain!
A size of over five meters, even the guild's records didn't have one of this level!
Gripping the gorilla's fist, he applied force with both hands simultaneously, executing a shoulder throw that smashed the five-meter-tall gorilla onto the ground.
Seeing this, Happy crossed his arms and nodded in satisfaction: "Our Natsu is more like a monster."
Natsu immediately disagreed, waving his fist and shouting: "Happy! What did you say? No fish for you tonight!"
One paw covering his mouth, the other paw waving like a beckoning cat.
Happy smiled and said: "I didn't say anything, I really didn't say anything."
"You promised to get me a big fish to eat tonight!"
Natsu scratched his head, looking bewildered: "When did I promise that?"
"Wah!! Natsu is so mean, you clearly promised I would have a big fish to eat!" For the sake of eating fish, Happy completely abandoned his bottom line and immediately cried bitterly.
However!
The snicker at the corner of his mouth betrayed his true feelings.
Natsu had never been a detail-oriented person and didn't notice Happy's snicker.
"Did I promise?" Natsu muttered to himself.
The gorilla smashed on the ground had consumed too much magic power defending against Natsu's strike just now, making it unable to control its body freely.
Unable to take on Lucy's form, Natsu wouldn't hold back anymore!
He raised his right fist high, searing flames wrapping around it, the flames rising three meters high.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
A punch in non-Dragon Force mode sent the gorilla flying. While in mid-air, magic light flickered.
Before long, she turned back into Lucy's form.
Natsu hurriedly rushed up and caught the free-falling Lucy.
The searing temperature radiating from his body gradually woke Lucy up. Seeing that familiar face, tears streamed down.
"Natsu!!"
The moment she was enveloped by the black shadow, she saw the most terrifying scene of her life.
Then she felt nothing at all, thinking she had died just like that, but unexpectedly, she saw this familiar face.
He gently wiped the tears from the corners of Lucy's eyes and comforted her softly: "It's okay now, I'll take you home!"
Lucy's whole body trembled.
The word "home" hadn't left anything meaningful in her memory.
Instead, the guild she had recently joined gave her the feeling of a home.
Her tears flowed even harder.
Excitement filled her heart.
Lucy said tremblingly: "Yeah! Let's go home!"
Magnolia Town.
A river ran through the middle of the town.
Although Lucy was a mage, she was born into a wealthy family and knew how to enjoy life.
Lying in the warm bathtub, enjoying the embrace of the hot water.
A whole day's exhaustion disappeared under such comfortable enjoyment.
"Seventy thousand Jewels for rent, a vintage large furnace that heats the entire house, and a small furnace that belongs exclusively to me!"
"Although it's a bit expensive, the house is nice. There's a small river in front, a great place for a stroll in my free time."
"Plus, it's not far from the guild here."
"It's really great."
Wrapping herself in a bath towel, she hummed a little tune and walked out of the bathroom.
"I wonder where Natsu and Happy live, it definitely can't be as... as where I live..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was left speechless by the scene before her.
Happy leaned close to Natsu's ear: "Natsu! Lucy is speaking ill of us behind our backs!!"
Lucy slowly clenched her fists, glaring at the person and cat in front of her, and roared: "Why are you in my room?"
