Chapter 359: You said Lucy was cute, and you hugged her
Gray didn't dare eat the lunch box, so Natsu snatched it away.
In the corner, Juvia pouted in disappointment. She had gotten up early in the morning to make that lunch.
"Ooh~~ This is really good! Delicious!" Natsu mumbled as he devoured it. But since it was Gray's, he at least asked, "Want a bite?"
Gray declined. "Forget it."
He looked around. "Come to think of it. I haven't seen Lucy all morning. Did she head out on a job?"
Natsu answered through a full mouth, "She's probably still at home, yeah? Maybe drooling all over her pillow."
Happy suggested, "Why don't you just ask Mira and Rhodes?"
"Good idea," Gray nodded and headed to the counter.
Rhodes set down his chopsticks and replied, "I think I saw her hanging around the mission board earlier. Didn't she ask you to team up on a request?"
"No," Mira said firmly. "Lucy didn't take any jobs. She looked at the board for a while, then left."
"Yesterday she said she didn't have money for rent..." Rhodes thought aloud. "Is she being too selective? Maybe she thinks it's her fault the guild's still not functioning normally."
