While Kira was on a caving expedition, the other two groups also set off on their own missions.

"Where are we going to start now?" Gray asked Elusa, who was walking ahead of him.

Elusa didn't look back: "Don't worry about what Kira said, let's go find Natsu and Lucy first!" ”

The tone is tough and cannot be refused.

"I knew you would." Gray scratched his hair helplessly, "It's all fake to join the discussion, and taking Kira's airship to bring Natsu and Lucy back is your real purpose, right?" ”

"That's right, any comments?"

Elusa turned around, and Gray looked at Gray with fierce eyes, "No...... No!! If you're going to clean up Natsu, be sure to let me join in! ”

"Hmm...... Well, just this once! Elusa nodded, "But you'll have to get along with each other the rest of the time!" ”

Gray smiled awkwardly, with a cold sweat on his face: "Yes...... It's ......"

The two of them walked forward again, one after the other.

……

"Really, I said I would act together before I came out, but I ran away by myself when I got off the airship, and Kira is so messy every time!"

On the snow, Kana, Rocky, and Elfman were also wandering nonchalantly, and unlike Elusa, they had no intention of forcibly bringing Natsu back.

The reason why I came with me this time was that in addition to a whim, I also got on Kira's airship with the idea of free travel, otherwise, wouldn't it be good to stay in the guild to drink and chat with the young lady?

"I thought he would want to have a ski race here, but he lost badly last year, and with his temperament, he will definitely get revenge, maybe he just ran away alone and went to practice secretly."

"Hahaha, you really know him," Kana smiled and took a sip of wine to ward off the cold, "It does look like something he would do." ”

Elfman also smiled: "Kira's character has always been easy to guess, a man is to be so simple and straightforward!" ”

"That's right, I'm obviously worried about Natsu and Lucy, and I have to find an excuse to come out."

Kira would have been both surprised and relieved if she knew they thought of herself like this, and it was surprising that they were really wrong, because he really wasn't worried about Natsu; Fortunately, it seems that the care of the guild members for a long time has not been in vain, and in the hearts of the guild members, he is such a good big brother who takes care of his younger brothers and sisters.

……

Meanwhile, Natsu, Lucy, and Harpy are on a trip to the snowy mountains to hunt wolves at the request of Uncle Poole.

"I said, is there really a wolf pack in this place? We hadn't seen each other for so long. ”

Harpy flew down and said, "I didn't see it in the sky." ”

"But, since the tavern uncle said that there should be, right?" Natsu replied to Lucy, "Besides, I just smelled something from that girl that doesn't belong to a human being. ”

"Nani?!" Lucy looked at Natsu in horror, "Not human?!" ”

"It should be the tavern uncle who said the wolves, and there is also the smell of blood."

Lucy recalled, "But the girl named Winter didn't seem to have any wounds on her body, so did she go hunting wolves?" It's amazing! ”

"It's ......" Suddenly, Natsu sniffed in the air, "the same smell as that girl." ”

After smelling the air for a long time, I finally decided on a direction to run.

Lucy's cheeks flushed: "Really, can this guy not talk like a pervert?" ”

"Is Lucy jealous?" The harpy began what it does best with its tongue curled.

"Not really!" Hearing this, Lucy grabbed Harpy and ravaged him in his arms: "You stinky cat, if you don't learn the good and the bad!" ”

"Wait for me, Natsu!"

Trotting to catch up with Natsu, he found the other party standing on the edge of the snow cliff and was silent.

"Is there anything down here?" Lucy curiously took two steps forward and looked down, only to see that under the snow cliff, the corpses of wolves were piled up into a mountain of flesh, and the blood stained red and white.

"Is this ......" Lucy looked at the mountain of corpses at her feet in shock, "Is this all done by Winter alone?" ”

The melting snow and the blood of the wolves intertwine to add a bit of vivid color to the white and flawless earth, and it feels like a painter has drawn a rose on the white paper, which is bright and enchanting.

Before Lucy could react, Natsu jumped straight down, and as a last resort, Lucy could only let Harpy fly down with her.

"It's amazing," Harpy exclaimed, "I didn't expect that little girl to be so strong." ”

Lucy looked at the mountain of wolf corpses piled up in front of her, gestured with her hand slightly, and came to the conclusion that there were about three of her own height, and each one was larger than herself.

If Kira had seen this, she would have discovered that the wolf corpses were the same snow wolves she was tracking, and that it was here that they were fighting.

"Being able to deal with so many wolves on her own, that little girl named Winter is stronger than many people in our guild. If you have this kind of strength, you don't need our help at all. ”

"This is what the uncle said about the wolves? Isn't it all solved? ”

Hearing the conversation between Lucy and Harpy, Natsu was also a little depressed: "This is not like an S-class mission at all!" If you can't do anything, isn't it a trip for nothing? ”

"But now that the wolves have been defeated, what can we do?"

"Isn't there still the demons who created the demon wolf in the enemy? Let's teach Uncle Tavern a lesson! ”

"But I don't have a clue now!"

Natsu sniffed the air, "No, it's not for nothing! I smell it, and some of the wolves are leaving, it seems that they are not all taken down, although the smell is faint, but the smell they have left behind has not yet dispersed. ”

"Oh, I see! Just catch up with the rest of the wolves and follow them to find the demons who created the wolves! ”

"Hee-hee, Harpy is right! Let's catch up! ”

Harpy excitedly responded, "Hey! ”

Just as Lucy was about to catch up, an accident suddenly happened!

Several hard white guns shot down from the sky, carrying indescribable killing intent and about to hit the unsuspecting Lucy.

"Be careful!"

Growing up in the mountains and forests since childhood, Natsu, who was raised by Igoniru to be as sharp as a beast, was the first to react, directly turned around and pounced, held Lucy in his arms, and slid out of the snow with the inertia of rushing forward.

Skimmed and smooth, Kilar's clumsy skiing is nothing short of.

"Nani?" Before Lucy could react, she was pressed directly, and the heat from Natsu's body slapped on her face, burning her face red.

"That's a good response! Looks like you're a magician you've been commissioned? ”

A proud-sounding Lori voice interrupted Lucy's thoughts, and when she looked up, she saw a girl with a double ponytail standing on top of the wolf corpse with her hands on her hips, her eyes full of scrutiny.

Obviously, the attack just now came from her.

"Who are you? Why attack Lucy suddenly? Natsu shouted angrily that although they had not known each other for a long time, he had already regarded Lucy as his important companion and would never allow anyone to hurt her.

"Me? Hmph, listen up! Stupid humans! I am the master of this kingdom of ice and snow beneath your feet, Cloue, the princess of the clouds! ”

"What, it turns out that there is a princess sick patient."

Natsu turned to Harpy and complained that he had learned the word from Kira, who had been his literacy teacher when he first joined the guild. I remember Kira said that the word is used to describe the kind of woman who calls herself a princess.

"Natsu, I remember Kira saying that this disease is called the second disease." Harpy retorted with a clenched little fist.

"No, you're mistaken, it's the princess's disease!"

"It's not, it's the second middle school disease! The one who is misremembered is Natsu! ”

Clouey was furious by the words of these two guys, because she had been in the snowy mountains all year round and the information she received was a little behind, so she didn't know what princess disease was and what middle two disease was, but her intuition told her that it was not a good word.

The most obvious thing is that this man and this cat don't take themselves seriously at all.

"You two guys, you're chattering to death!"

At the moment when Cloue stomped his feet and shouted in anger, Natsu's fire attack hit him directly in the face.
