Chapter 402

【Lucy scratches her head: "Haha, not at all, but since you put it that way, you guys must be mages from some guild, right?"】

【Black Natsu and Happy, one person and one cat, nod in succession.】

【"Eh! Then that means you guys are seniors, right?" Lucy exclaims!】

【"If you want to understand it that way, that's fine, but let's put those things aside for now."】

【Black Natsu wipes his mouth and places the bowl and chopsticks on the table.】

【He stares at Lucy with a solemn gaze: "I think we can consider ourselves acquainted now, right?"】

【Lucy nods.】

【"Since that's the case, shouldn't we know your name?" Black Natsu asks again.】

【Lucy suddenly has a look of realization.】

【"Right, I haven't introduced myself yet."】

【As she speaks, Lucy stands up and reaches out her hand toward Black Natsu.】

【"My name is Lucy, please treat me well."】

【Black Natsu blinks: "That's it?"】

【"Uh... that's it?" Lucy seems a bit uncomfortable.】

【"What about your surname? Lucy is just your first name, right?" Black Natsu continues to ask.】

【"Surname... uh..." Lucy scratches her head, her expression becoming hesitant.】

【"Is it inconvenient to say?" Black Natsu frowns.】

【One must know, his primary goal is to find out if Lucy's surname is... Heartfilia.】

【If she doesn't want to say it, then things will be a bit difficult.】

【To Black Natsu's inquiry, Lucy sighs helplessly: "I'm sorry, I really don't want to mention my surname."】

【Happy looks at Black Natsu: "It seems the plan has failed."】

【Black Natsu glances at the keys at Lucy's waist again, and after a moment of silence...】

【He smiles: "No matter, if you don't want to say it, then don't."】

【Lucy breathes a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your understanding."】

【"By the way, what about you guys?"】

【"My name is Happy."】

【"Natsu, Natsu Dragneel."】

【After the introductions, the scene becomes somewhat silent.】

【For Lucy, without realizing it, she begins to harbor a trace of wariness toward the person and cat before her.】

【After all, her identity is not simple, and she is currently in a state of having run away from home.】

【If she rashly reveals her surname, she might be noticed by her heartless father.】

【When that time comes, she will likely be forced to go home.】

【This is something Lucy does not want to see.】

【Therefore, Lucy is currently sensitive about the question of her surname.】

【As for Black Natsu.】

【Since he cannot get the answer he wants for now, he can only bury his head in his food.】

【Anyway, since the person is right here, as long as he wants to keep an eye on her, Lucy's situation will be easy to find out.】

【Besides, even if Lucy is truly a descendant of Master Anna.】

【She might not have even met Master Anna.】

【Therefore, even if she is, it probably won't be of much use.】

【So, since Lucy doesn't want to say it, Black Natsu doesn't press her; knowing is just one extra path,】

【and not knowing doesn't have any impact.】

【The awkward silence makes even Lucy, who is usually quick to make friends, feel somewhat uncomfortable.】

【The fork in her hand unconsciously stirs the noodles on her plate.】

【She seems to think of something and asks again:】

【"By the way, which guild are you two mages from?"】

【"Fairy Tail."】

【Black Natsu responds while eating.】

【The moment the words fall!】

【Clatter...】

【The plate in front of Lucy falls directly to the floor, shattering into pieces.】

【Her originally calm face gradually changes.】

【Her mouth opens wide involuntarily, and her pupils contract uncontrollably.】

【Heartbeat! Soaring once again.】

【Everything is exactly the same as when she was just hit by the Charm Magic!】

【"Ah... ah... ahhh??"】

【Lucy blinks her large eyes, looking at the person and cat before her in disbelief.】

【"Don't you believe us?" Happy asks in confusion.】

【As he speaks, he stands up from the table, turns around, and pushes aside the backpack on his back.】

【The green fairy emblem appears before Lucy's eyes, as if alive.】

【"Fai... Fairy Tail??"】

【"You two are actually members of Fairy Tail?!!"】

【Lucy's jaw almost drops to the floor.】

【Black Natsu is puzzled: "Is this... rare?"】

【"Fairy Tail!! That Fairy Tail!! Isn't this rare?"】

【"Existences like you... I actually ran into you so casually, how much luck did I have!!!"】

【Lucy cannot help but stand up directly from her seat...】

【Leaning forward, she brings her head closer, looking at Black Natsu and Happy in amazement.】

【"Fairy Tail... I, I, I... I finally met people from Fairy Tail!!"】

【"Ah!! You really are mages from Fairy Tail!!"】

【Lucy seems unable to suppress her excitement, her hands reaching toward Black Natsu's cheeks.】

【Seeing this scene, Black Natsu is startled and cannot help but lean back.】

【"Hey... are you... a pervert??"】

【Hearing this, Lucy immediately waves her hands: "No, no!!"】

【"Because... because I'm just too excited!!"】

【"I could only read about your deeds in newspapers before, I never expected to see the real people now!!"】

【"The guild I was talking about wanting to join just now is Fairy Tail!!"】

【"Is... is that so? You're too excited, aren't you?" Black Natsu twitches the corner of his mouth.】

【Lucy doesn't care.】

【She immediately asks: "Um, since you are both members of Fairy Tail, you must know what the requirements for joining the guild are, right?"】

【"Do you think I'm suitable?"】

【"Also, also, is there an entrance exam, and is the exam strict?"】

【"What kind of questions are usually on the exam?"】

【"You should know very well, right?"】

【"Can you help me? I really, really want to join Fairy Tail."】

【"For example, leaking some questions or something, so I can prepare in advance."】

【"No, no, that shouldn't be right, that would be cheating, wouldn't it?"】

【"Ah~ but I really want to join Fairy Tail."】

【"For that, even if I cheat a little, it shouldn't matter, right?"】

【"Can you guys help me~~ I beg you~~"】 ===== CHAPTER 403 =====
