The afternoon in the port town of Harugion is bustling with boats of all sizes moving back and forth between the harbour and the sea like bees. The sturdy men on www.biquge.info shore carry buckets and barrels of grain to feed the townspeople's daily diet. Travelers in a hurry either paced back and forth along the harbor or stood still, their eyes fixed on the horizon.

Lucy reached out and yawned. Early in the morning, she couldn't stand the stinky sweat all over her body after a night of traveling, so she deliberately went to the hotel to open a small room, took a beautiful bath, and then lay comfortably on the bed in the hotel. She counted the time it was about to be around before she left the room and came to the harbor to find her companions, where she thought, they were probably still gobbling up their lunch?

Her figure was not bad in the first place, and now she has just been baptized by a hot bath, and her skin has taken on an alluring pink color. Her sixth sense as a woman told herself that someone in the crowd was staring at her blatantly and making a sound. After a while, the group gathered around and blocked her way.

The man at the head had a long, pointed face like a mouse, and a wicked smile on his face that made people feel disgusted when they looked at it. He wore pigtails and now swayed from side to side like a dog's tail. He pinched his throat and asked, "Beautiful young lady, where are you going?" Do you want to go to our ship? We can entertain you well and take you wherever you want to go. ”

Lucy thought in disgust: Are they still an innocent girl who doesn't know anything about the world? Hmph, what a underestimate, after the kidnapping of [Giant's Nose] Bora, how could I still fall into such a stupid trap?

However, she was weak, and there was no one in the crowd who could help her, she didn't want to irritate this group of hooligans too much, so she could only politely refuse and say: "This is not needed, I have booked a small boat, the family is waiting for me, I have to go first, thank you for your kindness." ”

"No, no, no, miss, you don't look like you're coming out with your family. Behold, thy journey is lonely and lonely, why not let some kind-hearted men comfort thee? The rat-faced man's words became more and more straightforward, and the corners of his mouth and eyes curved more and more, and it looked as if he was about to turn into a youkai.

"This ...... There really isn't a need......" Lucy retreated, but the wolf-like man surrounded her heavily, and in broad daylight, none of the people passing by around dared to come forward to help, but they all hurried by with their heads down.

"No, miss, I insist on doing that." The mouse-faced man finished speaking, and stretched out his thin, gnarled hand to grab Lucy's arm.

But in the end, it was another man's hand that grabbed Lucy's arm. Fuko emerged from the crowd, squeezed the hooligans out of the way, grabbed Lucy's hand, and before she could ask in surprise, he said, "Jessica, what the hell are you rubbing, everyone on the ship is waiting for you!" With his other hand, he straightened the long sword with the black scabbard pinned to his waist, and without hesitation, he pulled Lucy forward, and no one stood in their way.

"Boss......" muttered one of the rascals.

The rat-faced man waved his hand, and he stood there, his little eyes narrowed into slits, staring at the backs of Fuko and Lucy until they were drowned in the sea of people.

Aphrodite told Fuko that the group behind him wasn't chasing him, so he let go of the hand that was holding Lucy's arm. Lucy followed him shyly with some guilt and whispered, "I'm sorry, Fukou, I want you to help me out." She felt that since she had jumped from the balcony of her apartment last night and was caught in her arms, the atmosphere between them had tended to be tense. Although she felt that she was a beauty, it should be an honor for this man to be hugged by a man, but he never played cards according to common sense, so she could only treat him carefully, so as not to really anger him.

"It's nothing, it's not your fault, it's just that the security here is too chaotic, otherwise Bora wouldn't have chosen to commit a crime here, right?" This time, Fukou said something reasonable, and did not mock and sarcastic, which made Lucy breathe a sigh of relief. However, he changed his words and said, "But you have taken too long to take a shower, do you know how long I have been waiting on the shore with Natsu and Harpy, two fools?" ”

I knew it. Lucy muttered inwardly. She said to Fuko, "That'...... I'm so embarrassed...... You know, girls, you always have to dress up before you go out, or you'll be laughed at. ”

Fu Kou asked curiously, "Where did you hear this from the crooked reasoning?" ”

How can this be a fallacy? That's what my mother told me, and there's nothing wrong with what she said. ”

Fuko knew that Lucy's mother, Layla, had died when she was a child, and he couldn't speak ill of Layla, so he had to change the subject and say, "But before we wait for you to come over, we have some windfalls." ”

"What windfall?" Lucy's curiosity was piqued.

"I learned a little bit about the cursed island [Karna Island] from the fisherman here, and it seems that both the fisherman and the pirate are very reluctant to go to that place, and it is said that as long as you go to that island, you will be devoured by the 'demon' and never come back. Although it is an exaggeration, I am afraid that the truth is not much safer. We managed to find a fisherman who was willing to take us sorcerers to the island, and he seemed to be the inhabitant of that place, hoping that we would lift the curse there. ”

"This fisherman is still very sensible."

"Hmm. But that's not the end of it, and then we meet Gray. ”

"Huh?" Lucy stood there in surprise, blinking at him, and stammered, "Gege...... Gray? Do you mean that exhibitionist Gray? How did he end up here? ”

At this moment, a shirtless black-haired man came out from behind the pillar statue of the harbor, with his shirt and coat on his shoulders, and he looked like a little ruffian, and he said in a loud voice, "Lucy, I can't pretend that I didn't hear you." ”

"Huh? It's really you! Lucy pointed at him.

Then, Natsu and Harpy, who were still holding food in their mouths, appeared and greeted Lucy in unison.

Then, Gray said to Lucy, "Well, that's right......

"To save time, let me explain." "The incident started when Natsu had Harpy steal the order from the second floor of the guild, and President Makarov found out about it, and he asked Gray to come and intercept us on this morning's train......"

"You're going to let me finish talking first, bastard!" Gray roared in protest from the side.

Fuko ignored him and continued to say to Lucy, "His attitude is very resolute, he wants to take us back, otherwise the next one to intercept us will be Elusa, this is really bad." Still, I persuaded him to join us and carry out the commission with us, which gave us a better chance of winning, after all, it was eight tenths of my bounty. ”

"Why does the bounty mention 8 out of 10? Also, how did you convince Gray? Lucy asked, surprised.

While the two of them were talking, Natsu and Gray were arguing again without any other possibility.

"There's no need for you to finish your sentence, you're just a small character." Natsu said defiantly.

"What do you say? Small roles? Do you think you've stolen the S-rank task list, and you're the big one? I've wanted to do this for a long time, you're just getting ahead of me! Gray said angrily.

"Hmph, I'm the big character anyway, and you're the little one!" Natsu replied unreasonably.

"What!"

"On the issue of the bounty, I renegotiated with Natsu this morning, and he didn't have any opinions." Ignoring Natsu and Gray's argument, Fuko continued to explain to Lucy, "As for convincing Gray...... I took advantage of his competitive spirit a little and let Natsu provoke him, and now it seems ...... It seems that provoking Gray was Natsu's instinct, and he couldn't stop. ”

Natsu and Gray began to fight each other again.

Lucy helplessly held her forehead, she then remembered something, and asked, "By the way, if you take eight-tenths, then how will Natsu and I divide their bounty, and divide it into four equal parts?" ”

That's when Harpy interjected, "Love! I've already discussed with Natsu, Natsu will take a tenth, I'll take a tenth, and the rest will be divided equally between you and Gray. ”

"Isn't this like last time, I didn't get anything!"

Harpy put on a cheap expression, waved his kitten paws, and said, "Tsk, Lucy is really greedy, to be able to get the [Star Spirit Key] and get the rest of the bounty, this is not satisfied, too greedy." ”

"So, there's no such thing as a 'rest of the bounty', you're all divided, and you're the one who is greedy!" Lucy was so angry that her chest was tight.

Fu Kou spoke at this time: "Since everyone has reached an agreement, let's go to the ship, set off immediately, go early and return early." ”

"There was no agreement at all!" Lucy protested and shouted.

However, no one heeded her protests, and a group of people boarded a small boat parked on the edge of the harbor, and she had to follow. They said hello to the kind fisherman. The fisherman helped them prop up the boat and sail out to the sea beyond the harbor.

Once on board, Natsu lay in the middle of the boat like a dead body, her long tongue sticking out, staring blankly at the sky.

Soon, Fuko noticed that another small boat was also coming from the harbor, and followed them closely, and the person standing at the bow of the boat was the man with the mouse face just now, and Lucy approached Fukou with some creepiness, and said, "What do they want?" ”

"What else can you do?" Fuko replied, "They came here to see us off. ”
