For some reason, after being thrown out by Makarov, he landed exactly next to Romeo.
Looking at Natsu falling from the sky, Romeo said with a face full of admiration: "As expected of a mage, so amazing!"
Flipping in the air, he landed steadily on the ground, looking at Romeo right in front of him.
Natsu silently gave the middle finger towards the direction of the guild.
Retribution!
After eating and living for free in the guild for three months, that stingy Makarov threw him out.
Landing exactly in front of Romeo.
There are no such coincidences in the world.
Makarov wanted him to go save Romeo's dad!
Sure enough!
There is no free lunch in this world.
In order to continue his slacker life, Natsu felt he should casually do something to deal with it.
He pressed his hand on Romeo's head: "No need to go to the guild, I will bring Macao back!"
Romeo's whole body trembled.
Macao had been gone for many days, and every day was torment for Romeo. Not seeing Macao return for a single day meant Romeo couldn't sleep well.
The contempt from peers of his age made him uncomfortable.
Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes as he jumped and threw himself onto Natsu: "Natsu-nii!"
Feeling Romeo's gratitude towards him, Natsu gently patted Romeo's back.
He was deeply moved by Romeo's feelings for Macao.
As a former wealthy slacker, his parents had put all their time into work, and it was rare to see them even once a year.
Romeo's current situation reminded Natsu of those lonely days.
Putting Romeo down, Natsu's eyes became firm.
When it's time to slack off, you must slack off!
When it's time to turn things around, you must do it with the sharpest movements!
Not far away, Lucy watched this scene, tears of excitement flowing down: "That's great! The old Natsu is back!"
"Natsu!!!" A small blue cat swept down from the sky, bypassing Lucy to land on Natsu, tightly grabbing Natsu's clothes.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't leave me behind!"
"Didn't you say we would never be separated!"
"Natsu is a liar!"
In his previous world, Natsu liked to spend time with pets, and cats were the pets he raised the most.
Because cats were the most clingy pets.
He had always liked this flying cat.
Gently stroking Happy's head, Natsu said with a smile: "How could I leave you behind."
In his arms, Happy looked up at Natsu with tearful eyes: "You promised to give me fish, you can't go back on your word!"
Natsu was momentarily speechless.
After all that, he finally understood Happy's true feelings.
Lifting him up and holding him in his arms, no matter what happens in the future, he decided he would never let Happy go hungry.
The cold wind howled.
The ice and snow lashed at everyone who entered the mountains.
Walking in such a snowy mountain, Natsu completely didn't care.
Fire mages were not afraid of the cold.
Especially the current Natsu, his body was like a furnace, emitting a temperature that could melt the ice and snow around him.
Happy hid in Natsu's arms, completely not feeling the cold, even having sweat sliding down.
However!
Poor Lucy hugged herself in the cold wind, shivering uncontrollably.
"Why... why... am I... in such a cold place?"
"Lucy is so dumb!" Happy looked at Lucy and muttered softly.
"Yeah!" Natsu nodded in agreement.
Lucy, who was already shivering from the cold, was completely shut down by being despised by one person and one cat.
Reaching into her pocket, a Celestial Spirit key appeared in her hand.
A magic circle pattern appeared on the key, and Lucy said tremblingly: "Open, Gate of the Clock constellation, Horologium!"
A large clock appeared from the magic circle, putting Lucy inside that small box.
Squeezing her whole body inside, Lucy finally didn't feel cold anymore.
Natsu and Happy huddled together, muttering softly: "She clearly has a big furnace right next to her, yet she insists on staying so far away, Lucy is so dumb!"
Lucy, hiding inside the large clock, understood their words relayed through the large clock.
Her whole person became gloomy.
She complained weakly: "Why do I feel like what Happy said makes so much sense?"
"Ah!!! I don't want to become dumb!"
Natsu leaned close to Happy's ear and muttered softly: "Yeah! If I just stimulate a little bit of magic power, the surrounding one meter will get hot."
"How will such a dumb woman get married in the future?"
Horologium's voice rang out: "Don't speak ill of me at such a close distance, she says!"
"Speaking ill of me so loudly, do you think I can't hear you? She says."
Natsu and Happy acted as if they had discovered a new continent, running up to Horologium and grabbing the large clock.
"Waha! This thing can talk!"
"What a magical feeling!"
"Celestial Spirit! Horologium, the Clock Celestial Spirit, my partner, she says!"
"Bang!" A loud bang echoed in the snowstorm, sending ice and snow into the sky. Natsu didn't even look at that large gorilla, playing around on the large clock with great interest.
Happy looked in the direction of the sound, and that giant gorilla scared his fur on end.
"Natsu!!! What a huge gorilla!"
