Fairy Tail: This Healing Mage's hits hurt so much!

Sunlight led Natsu and the others away from Fairy Tail and headed towards the royal capital.

He took out a few X-balls from his pocket, waved them in his palm, and the little pills rolled around in his hand.

"Eat this and you'll be able to use magic. Be careful with your magic power, as it's not as plentiful here as it is back home, and it recovers more slowly."

He handed the X-Ball to Natsu and Wendy. Natsu took it, glanced at it, tilted his head back, and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it a couple of times, his whole face scrunched up.

"Ptooey! What does it taste like? It's like chewing on a lump of mud!"

Wendy carefully placed the X-ball on the tip of her tongue, pursed her lips, and her little face scrunched up in a bitter expression, but she still obediently swallowed it, patting her chest as if to encourage herself.

Harpy raised his little paws, his tail held high, and looked at Sunrise with anticipation.

"What about me and Xia Lulu?"

Sunlight bent down, reached out and flicked Happy's head, making a soft "plop" sound.

"Aren't you the natives of this place? You don't need to eat this. Besides, your race corresponds to dragons."

Habi froze, his two round eyes wide open like copper bells, his little mouth slightly agape, as if a string in his mind had been suddenly plucked, making a buzzing sound.

A dragon? Am I a dragon?

Natsu suddenly turned to look at Happy, his eyes shining. He excitedly grabbed Happy's front paw and shook it hard, almost shaking Happy to pieces.

"I knew it! When I found the Harpy egg, I said it was definitely a dragon, hahaha..."

Natsu laughed so hard he almost fell over, slapping his thighs, looking as smug as if he were the prophet, his smile stretching almost to his ears.

Wendy tilted her head and looked at Xia Lulu, her little face full of confusion. Her fingers unconsciously twirled the hem of her clothes, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Is Xia Lulu a dragon?

Xia Lulu crossed her arms over her chest, raised her chin slightly, snorted disdainfully through her nostrils, and flicked her tail impatiently.

"How would I know? Maybe that cunning bastard is just making things up."

Riyao raised one index finger and started talking nonsense with a straight face, his expression as serious as if he were giving an academic report.

"Dragons can fly, and so can hobbies. Dragons have tails, and so do hobbies, and they are both laid from eggs."

He counted off a finger for each point he made, his tone so certain it left no room for doubt, and he even nodded seriously, as if the three arguments had formed an impeccable logical loop.

Natsu and Happy's eyes grew brighter and brighter, like two lit lanterns, completely believing in this statement. Happy was so excited that his little wings flapped incessantly.

"Oh ho ho, I knew Happy was a dragon!"

"Aye! I am a dragon!"

Harpy raised his little head, puffed out his furry chest, and put his two little paws on his hips.

Xia Lulu rolled her eyes and twitched her lips, thinking this was utterly ridiculous.

Wendy was skeptical, glancing at Happy and then at Sunshine, her lips pursed as if she were seriously considering the possibility of this claim.

The group arrived at a small town. The shops on both sides of the street were similar to those in Aslant, but there were some subtle differences in the words written on the signs.

As Riyao walked, he looked around.

"If Levy saw these words, she'd be laughing her head off."

As he walked, Riyao suddenly stopped, put his hands in his pockets, and glanced behind him.

"You really don't need to come with us."

Natsu tilted his head in confusion, just about to speak.

Two people emerged from around the corner behind them: Lucy and Lisanna from Edolas.

Lucy scratched the back of her head, chuckled sheepishly, and glanced away guiltily.

"Haha, we're just here to resupply."

Lisana stood behind Lucy, her hands behind her back, her toes shuffling on the ground. Her expression was much more open, with a sly smile playing on her lips.

Natsu twitched his nose twice, discerning the scent, and then abruptly turned his head to look in a certain direction.

"I smell Lucy!"

Lucy of Edolas looked at Natsu with disdain, her lips twitching downwards as she sized him up and down.

"Your Natsu is such a pervert."

"I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about our Lucy." Natsu waved his hand.

Lucy raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

"Does he look like me? I'm a little curious, take me to see him too."

"Me too, me too! My brother-in-law won't object, will he?"

Lisana came over and quickly accepted the role of brother-in-law, squeezing in front of Riyao with a grin.

Lucy and Lisanna stubbornly insisted on following, neither willing to back down an inch.

Riyao pursed his lips, looking at the two of them speechlessly, his temples throbbing twice.

Natsu agreed without hesitation, and with a wave of his hand, led everyone to find Lucy, their steps as light as if they were going on a picnic.

Riyao reluctantly followed, his hands behind his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he were just going to see Lucy's iconic scene.

"By the way, is there any transportation around here?"

"Brother-in-law, I know! I'll take you to see it later."

Lisana took two steps, then suddenly tilted her head to look at Sunrise and blinked.

"But brother-in-law, do you have money?"

Riyao paused for a moment, touched his pocket, rummaged around inside with his fingers, and pulled it out to find it empty.

"Huh? What do you need money for? We're leaving after this job, why would we need to pay? Who in their right mind would pay?"

Lucy and Lisanna stood there, stunned. They looked at each other, their expressions shifting from shock to helplessness.

"How about I give you directions later, brother-in-law? I won't go."

Lisana looked distressed, her voice suddenly went limp, and her shoulders slumped.

Riyao reached out and patted Lisana on the shoulder, the force neither too light nor too heavy, his tone full of heroic spirit.

"Oh, what are you afraid of? Since you're already here, your brother-in-law has to prepare some dowry for you."

Lisana's lips twitched, unsure whether to be touched or speechless. This brother-in-law was truly unreliable.

Lucy looked at Lisanna's pained expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing so hard she bent over, one hand supporting her knee, the other wiping away tears of laughter from the corner of her eyes.

"I never thought Lisanna would have a day like this, hahaha... sob sob."

Before she could finish speaking, Lisana reached out and grabbed Lucy's neck, tightening her arms and trapping Lucy's head under her armpit.

Lucy's eyes rolled back as she was being strangled, and she patted Lisanna's arm with both hands, begging for mercy.

"Honey, feeling dizzy is normal. Take a deep breath."

Lisana spoke expressionlessly, without loosening her grip at all.

Seeing this, Riyao subconsciously reached out and rubbed Lisana's head, gently rubbing her head twice with his palm, the movement as natural as if he had done it a thousand times.

"It feels the same as Lisana's back home."

Lisana slapped Riyao's hand away and punched him.

"Don't touch my head!"

A clear, angry voice echoed through the streets from afar, carried by Aslant Lucy.

"What are you doing? Let go of me! You've really messed with me! Virgo, open the door!"

Baluga appeared, her chain drawing a silver arc in the air, and in no time at all, she knocked down the kingdom's soldiers with fluid, clean, and efficient movements.

A masked man jumped out from the shadows, put his hands on his hips, struck what he thought was a cool pose, and let out a series of classic, eerie laughs.

"Hehehe, this little girl is quite brave..."

Lucy of Edolas raised her hand to stop him, her gaze sweeping over the masked man, her lips twitching slightly.

"Sunrise, I know it's you."

Sunrise reached out and took off Natsu's scarf from around his neck, revealing his grinning face, and deliberately flicked the scarf around.

"Not bad, you were able to see through my disguise."

The people present could practically dig out a huge villa with their toes.

Is that disguise? You're just covering half your face with a scarf! Most of your face is still showing!

Natsu and Happy found it very interesting.
