Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Juvia Joining Fairy Tail, Makarov's Shock
Juvia refused to get out of bed. In truth, she had woken up at dawn, feeling a bit physically uncomfortable, but she didn't move. Nate had a habit of holding her tightly while he slept, and she didn't want to disturb him. So, lying on her side with her head resting on his arm, she simply watched him sleep for a long time, feeling content.
Juvia thought she could stay like this forever, feeling happy just by looking at him.
"Let's stay in bed a little longer," Nate said, shifting his arm, which had gone slightly numb from being her pillow, and pulling her even closer.
Couples can release oxytocin by simply whispering to each other while lying together, making them feel happier and more connected.
Juvia let out a soft "Mm," adjusting her head to find a more comfortable spot, like she had found her safe harbor, and closed her eyes to enjoy the warmth of the morning.
The soft morning sunlight filtered through the window, lighting up a corner of the bedroom. Nate gazed at the girl in his arms, a gentle smile on his face. He was now very curious—what exactly was going through Juvia's mind? More specifically, what do girls think about after a night together?
"Juvia."
"Nate-sama?"
"Let's use the voice chat function."
Nate suddenly had an idea. He quickly activated the Internet Magic and sent Juvia a request for voice chat—using the advanced version, of course.
Juvia wouldn't refuse any of Nate's requests, so she quickly accepted. It was her first time using this feature, and she felt a bit puzzled.
Juvia: "Voice chat?"
Nate: "It's similar to telepathy magic; we can communicate directly through our thoughts."
Juvia: "I can hear Nate-sama's voice in my head... Telepathy! This is amazing!" (Excited)
Juvia: "Wait... does this mean my thoughts will be spoken out loud too?"
As Juvia used it for the first time, her eyes were filled with surprise and delight.
Nate: "Juvia, what are you thinking right now?"
Juvia: "What am I thinking?" (Confused)
Nate got his answer. There wasn't much going through Juvia's mind—she was simply enjoying the feeling of lying together, embracing him.
Nate smiled and kissed her on the cheek. "You're adorable."
The two of them continued whispering sweet nothings to each other through their thoughts until the sun had fully risen.
Afterward, they headed into the bathroom to wash up together. Considering Juvia's condition, Nate exercised restraint, though it was a bit torturous. Everyone knows that testosterone levels are highest in the morning, but Juvia's shy expressions only made it more amusing for him.
...
After breakfast—or rather, lunch—Nate finally took Juvia out of the house. The mansion, originally bought for Ultear, had ended up being Juvia's first experience instead.
Still, Nate didn't mind having another girlfriend. Ultear was far away, while Juvia could be with him every day from now on.
"Time to see the Master," Nate said, opening the Internet Magic and checking his contacts. Makarov was offline.
Sigma Male: "Master, have you finished your report? I need to talk to you."
Soon, Makarov came online and replied.
Fairy Tail's Grandpa: "Your delivery function has been a great help. It made sending my report much easier."
Nate chuckled. Poor Makarov—everyone caused trouble, but he was always the one writing reports. Normally, he'd ask Mirajane to help, but this time, with an entire mage guild destroyed, the Magic Council was furious and demanded that he write it personally. Mirajane had mentioned that he had to rewrite it seven or eight times.
Seeing Nate laugh, Juvia looked at him curiously.
"Nate-sama?"
"Nothing, just thought of something funny," Nate replied, shaking his head.
At that moment, Makarov sent another message.
Fairy Tail's Grandpa: "I'm in the Eastern Forest, where you fought the Oracion Seis."
Sigma Male: "Got it, I'm on my way. I'll bring someone with me—Juvia Lockser, formerly of Phantom Lord."
Fairy Tail's Grandpa: "A mage from Phantom Lord? Bring her along."
Without further questions, Makarov agreed.
"Let's go. Time to meet the Master," Nate said, turning off the Internet Magic and taking Juvia's hand, leading her toward the Eastern Forest.
Juvia became nervous, her palms sweating.
"Nate-sama, Juvia is so nervous."
"Don't worry, the Master is a kind old man."
"You call Master Makarov 'old man'?"
"Usually, I call him 'Master.' Natsu and Gray are the ones who call him 'old man.'"
As they walked, Nate told Juvia funny stories about the guild, helping to ease her nerves. Juvia couldn't help but feel envious. Compared to Fairy Tail, Phantom Lord had always been more serious. But the thought of soon joining Fairy Tail and being with Nate every day filled her with happiness.
Before long, they arrived at the Eastern Forest.
Nate saw Makarov planting trees—literally. The old man had used his giant magic, becoming a massive figure over ten meters tall, carefully replanting the trees that had fallen during the battle.
Nate noticed that the huge crater his "Tremor Ball" had created had also been filled in and smoothed over.
Turns out peace doesn't just happen—someone is always working behind the scenes to restore it.
"You caused Porlyusica a lot of trouble," Makarov said, shrinking back to his normal size after planting a tree. He turned and added, "Oh, you haven't met her yet. Porlyusica is an old friend of mine who lives in this forest."
I know, and I also know that Porlyusica is an alternate version of Grandeeney from another world, Nate thought. It hit him that Porlyusica might also be a traveler from another world—like him.
"Master, this is Juvia," Nate said, snapping out of his thoughts and introducing Juvia.
Juvia clasped her hands together nervously and bowed.
"Hello, Master Makarov. I am Juvia, formerly of Ph—now a free mage."
"Good afternoon, young lady." Makarov smiled warmly. "Are you looking to join our guild?"
"Eh? How did you know?"
"Fairy Tail welcomes you," Makarov said with a smile, not bothering to explain how he figured it out.
Juvia's face lit up with joy. Just like that, she was part of Fairy Tail! She turned to Nate, who smiled back, as if to say, "See? Told you it would be fine."
"Oh, by the way," Makarov said, "Nate, help me plant these trees. You can't leave until we're finished."
"Got it, Master," Nate said, helplessly agreeing.
Juvia quickly volunteered. "Juvia will help too!"
So, the three of them got to work.
While planting, Makarov mentioned, "The Magic Council asked me to write a report. I told them that I defeated Jose, but they didn't believe me and made me rewrite it, saying it didn't match the facts."
Of course, the council wasn't stupid. Jose's injuries clearly showed he had been hit by two super magic attacks—Nate's Tremor Magic first and then Fairy Law.
"So, Nate, how exactly did you defeat Jose?" Makarov asked curiously.
"That's my secret weapon, Master. But since you asked..."
Nate raised his right hand and muttered, "Reversal Magic—Flying Thunder God!"
A golden magic circle appeared instantly. In the next moment, a bottle of magic recovery potion was reverse-summoned from his mansion's storage, landing in his hand.
"I used this—my recently developed magic recovery potion."
Makarov stared, dumbfounded.
"A teleportation spell? No, it's a reverse summoning magic circle!"
How is that even possible? The old man was so shocked that he couldn't comprehend what had just happened.
"Wait... a magic recovery potion?" Makarov then noticed the blue liquid in Nate's hand, his jaw dropping even further.
