Chapter 484: Ways to Restore Magic
Natsu said casually, "Why not? I like Lucy too."
"Huh?" Lucy, who had been sitting calmly on the ground, suddenly jumped up as if struck by lightning. Her face flushed bright red, practically steaming.
"Y-You idiot! Why are you saying that out of nowhere?!"
She covered her face with one hand, flailing the other wildly in Natsu’s direction, but in her flustered state, she only ended up swatting at the air.
"I’m not saying anything weird," Natsu replied, completely unfazed. "I like Lucy, and I like Happy, the old man, Lisanna..."
He started rattling off a list of names, counting them on his fingers. "Anyway, besides Gray, there are a lot of people I like."
"..."
Lucy froze, realizing she had totally overreacted. Her face slowly returned to its normal color.
Rhodes, Wendy, and Lisanna all burst out laughing.
"Pfft," Happy snickered behind his paw. "Lucy, you perv. So indecent."
"That’s not true!!!" Lucy shouted, her voice ringing out through the forest. A flock of birds in the trees took off in panic.
