Chapter 161: Blossom Season (Part II)
Although Natsu hurriedly extinguished the fire, the curtains of Qin Xiu's house were completely gone.
The air smelled of fireworks, and the blackened walls of Natsu were depressed.
"What should I do now? If Elusa and the others find out, I will definitely not be able to get out of bed for a few days, and that guy Gray will definitely laugh at me for a week, maybe Ah Xiu will also be angry, what should I do?" Natsu said secretly in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, although his title of destroying the king had already resounded, but ......
"Do I have another title of arsonist in the future?" Natsu clutched his head in horror and cried out.
"I don't want it......" Natsu cried out reluctantly.
"Calm, calm, calm......" Natsu walked back and forth in the room.
Suddenly, Natsu paused, his head flashed, and a look of surprise appeared on Natsu's face.
In the middle of the night, a dark shadow shuttled through Magnoria, first infiltrating a furniture store, then Lucy's house, and finally Qin Xiu's house.
The next day
Lucy slept in a daze, and with her eyes closed, she felt that the sun seemed a little dazzling today.
Slowly opened his eyes, and sure enough, he found that the room was much brighter than usual.
Sitting up from the bed, she stretched lazily and looked out the window habitually, and then Lucy froze.
"Ah, where are my curtains?" Lucy's screams rang out throughout the house in less than a second.
Fairy Tail Guild
"What, you said your house was visited by thieves last night, and the thieves only stole the curtains?"
"Well, I'm shocked myself, there's nothing missing in the house, just no curtains next to my bed......" Lucy said depressedly.
Natsu, who was sitting at the bar not far away, broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead.
"Natsu, why are you sweating so much?" asked Harpy, who was on the side, confused.
"Ah, am I sweating?" Natsu was shocked by Harpy's question, and quickly touched his forehead, which was really sweaty.
"Well, I'm feeling a little hot, that's why ......I'm sweating," Natsu laughed dryly.
"Is that so?" Harpy looked at Natsu in confusion, and then remembered something, "I didn't dream, Natsu actually feels hot......" Harpy screamed in horror.
Harpy's shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Natsu burst out laughing when Harpy called him like this, "It must be the sequelae left by the three-day transportation ride, which caused my nervous reaction to be disordered, so I just need to sleep well," Natsu immediately lay on the table after speaking.
Everyone shook their heads speechlessly after seeing Natsu like this, Natsu had a lot of things to do to make people speechless, so everyone didn't take Natsu's state to heart.
"This thief is really a strange person, he only steals curtains," Mirajan laughed after suddenly remembering something.
"Mm-hmm, you don't have any thoughts about Lucy, Lucy, you really don't look like a woman," I don't know when Harpy said as he bit a fish.
"What do you mean you dead cat?" Lucy yelled as she stared at Harpy with a red face.
"It's not interesting," said Harpy, shaking his hand helplessly.
"If nothing happens to a person, everything will be fine, and if something really happens, our entire union will not forgive that person, and will definitely find him, skin him and pull his tendons, so that he will not die well......," said Mira Zhen hatefully.
Natsu, who had been secretly listening to this conversation, turned pale, and even bigger beads of sweat fell on his forehead.
"But when I woke up in the morning, I found that there was nothing out of the ordinary, could I really say that I didn't have any charm......" Lucy thought for a moment and said, but the more she talked about it, the less confident she became.
"No, no, Lucy, maybe it's a **** or something, it's very likely that the ** touched Lucy's whole body" At this time, Rebi appeared next to Lucy and said.
Lucy was startled when she heard this, and cried out in horror, "Ah, I don't want to wow, if that's the case, what face do I have to meet people, I must find out that fucker...... Sister Mira, please," Lucy cried and hugged Mirajan, and it was then that she realized that it was a matter of her own honor.
"That's right, we have to find this guy," suddenly Elusa's voice remembered behind Lucy.
Elusa...... Woo woo woo ......" Lucy cried when she saw Elusa with a pitiful expression.
Natsu's face turned even paler, and the sweat on his forehead dripped down the bar like water, "Oh no......" Natsu cried out in horror.
"Don't worry, Lucy, I'll definitely find out about it......" Elusa said in a deep voice.
"Natsu, Gray ......" Elusa shouted into the hall, but Gray was the only one who came.
"Where's Natsu?" said Elusa looked around, but Meizu spotted Natsu's figure.
"Didn't you sleep somewhere?" Mirajan said, pointing to the left, and was stunned as soon as she finished speaking, Natsu, who was lying on the bar just now, had disappeared, leaving only a puddle of water, I don't know if it was saliva.
"I just saw that guy running out in a hurry, I don't know what to do," Guggier said faintly in the distance, pointing to the gate of the union.
"Well, well, Lucy, let's go to your house first," said Elusa, looking at Lucy.
"Well......" Lucy nodded sadly, and then the group walked towards Lucy's house.
Shortly after the three of them left, a short, thin middle-aged man walked into the union hall, and Mirajan saw that it was a stranger and walked over and asked, "Hello, are you here for dinner or to apply for a commission?"
"Ah, it's Mirajan, I'm the owner of a furniture store in Magnoria, and I'm here to apply for a commission," said the short, thin middle-aged man.
"Well, then please here, what kind of commission do you want to issue?" asked Mira Zhen as she motioned for the short, thin middle-aged man to come with her.
"That's right, a strange man came to my shop last night, stole the paint and the tools for painting the walls in my shop, and at the same time put some money down, I want to find this thief, so I want to ask you fairy tail to help," said the short, thin middle-aged man.
"Eh, I stole something from your store and left the money, why do you still want to find this thief, boss?" Mirazhen wondered.
"You don't know, the money left by the thief is not enough at all, so I have to find him and ask him to pay the rest of the money" The short and thin middle-aged man said angrily.
"Among the money left by this thief, there is a picture of a brave demon king on it, and there is a strange painting of the constitution of your union next to it, and it is because of that constitution that I remembered to ask you for help," the short and thin middle-aged man continued.
"Uh......" Mirazhen was speechless as she listened to the short and thin middle-aged man's words.
"I've given it to me......" Guggill, who had been listening, began.
"Well, may I ask the boss how much you are going to pay you......" Mirajan asked.
"It's just that the thief didn't finish the money, don't worry, there are still two thousand J, I just can't stand the damn thief who stole it, and actually deliberately left a little bit, is this discriminating against me?" said the short and thin middle-aged man with some anger.
"In that case, I'll leave now, and the order will be put to you for the time being," Gergill said with a faint look at Mirajan, and then walked out of the union directly.
Seeing Mirajane and the short and thin middle-aged man were puzzled for a while.
Gergil, who walked out of the union, laughed, remembering the figure of Natsu running out in a hurry not long ago, coupled with what happened to Lucy before, although Gergil was not sure whether Natsu had anything to do with the two thieves, but that panicked look had to make Gergil suspicious.
"Whether or not it's what I guessed, anyway, find that kid from the fire dragon first...... Hee-hee...... Guggill laughed, the expression he was used to, representing his reaction to a very funny event.
Guggill sniffed the air a few times, and immediately smelled the scent that belonged to Natsu, and immediately chased in the direction of the smell.
On the edge of the eastern forest of Magnolia
Natsu ran here at this time, and in terms of his physique, he would not be tired of running such a distance, but because he was very nervous, he was a little out of breath at this time.
"No one knows about this place," Natsu muttered to himself, pressing his fast-beating chest.
But his panting expression quickly changed, and he hugged his head in horror and kept sparing, "How did this happen? Elusa will definitely be discovered, she will be skinned and cramped, will I be the worst dragon slayer to die at that time?" Natsu cried out in panic.
Thinking of Mirajan's smiling but vicious words, Natsu couldn't help but shudder all over her body.
"Isn't it just stealing a curtain, is it necessary to exaggerate like that?" said Natsu depressedly.
Last night, in order to bury the traces of his mistake and almost burned Qin Xiu's house, he sneaked into the furniture store to find paint and tools, in order not to bear the thief's name, he deliberately left all his property, but the problem of the curtains stumped Natsu, remembering that when he went to Lucy's house, the curtains at Lucy's bedside were about the same size as the curtains that he burned off, because they were from the same union, taking Lucy's things should not be considered stealing, so Natsu sneaked into Lucy's house secretly, in order not to alarm Lucy, Natsu was cautious, for fear of waking up Lucy, if he woke up Lucy, wouldn't it mean that his affairs were exposedSo he dared to swagger into Lucy's house as he usually did, and let Lucy greet him?
But the next day, instead of going the way he thought, things went in his desperate direction, and he felt that his affairs were about to be exposed, so he ran away as soon as he asked about Elusa's scent.
"This should be able to hide for a few days, and when Ashu comes back, I think things should be much easier, ahaha......" Natsu laughed without tears.
But the next moment Natsu froze.
"Yo, Fire Dragon, do you want to hide here for a few days when you're running so fast?" Gergill said behind Natsu.
Natsu's expression stiffened, and he turned his head like a puppet, "Gergil...... What are you talking about, why don't I understand? What are you hiding, hiding!ahahaha......" Natsu laughed dryly after saying in an extremely weak tone.
"Come back with me, maybe there's a chance to get a little bit of a break," Gergil chuckled as he looked at Natsu.
"Huh?" Natsu was instantly deflated when he heard Gergill say this.
I didn't expect him to escape the eyes of everyone in the guild, but under Gergil's nose, he was still discovered, but still at such a fast speed.

Fairy Tail Guild
Lucy Elusa and Gray had returned from a visit to Lucy's house.
"Natsu is still not in the union, where the hell did that guy go?" said Elusa as she looked around and frowned dissatisfied.
"Disappeared when he was needed," Gray said dissatisfied.
"Gorgil isn't there," said Lucy, a little depressed.
"Guggill went to investigate the theft of a furniture store in the city, so he wasn't there," Mirajane said.
"Theft?" Alusa was stunned, "What's going on?"
Mirajane then told the crowd what had happened.
"It's a thief again, Magnoliari actually had two more thefts last night, and that's not a trivial matter," Elusa frowned.
"That's right, we have to investigate it strictly, and in two days it will be a big event in the union, and then we won't have time to be distracted by other things," Makanov said in a deep voice.
Just after everyone nodded in agreement with Makanov's words, Gergil's voice sounded at the gate of the union: "Don't be so troublesome......
When they heard this, they looked at the door of the union in confusion, and found Guggier standing there looking at everyone coolly.
"Why?" Makanov wondered.
"Because this guy should know something," Guggill said, holding up a rope in his hand.
Everyone was speechless when they saw it, "What can a rope know?" said Rebby, with black lines on her head.
Gergil was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he found that there was no one behind him, and the rope in his hand had been extended to the gate of the union, and Gergil suddenly shouted dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so timid now, where is the arrogance of the past, come in for me" Gergil shouted and then pulled the rope in his hand hard, and suddenly a figure was pulled by Gergil in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at it and was stunned and shouted in surprise, "Natsu ......"
"Hey ......" Nazpi greeted everyone with a smile, and his expression was extremely uncalm.
Everyone looked at each other and immediately understood the reason.
