7 Year Gap

The Mission 2

Lucy POV:

We arrived at the town of azalea ville, I gasped at the beautiful scenery, there were cherry blossoms covering the path way as the little pink leaves fell down from the trees making the view absolutely amazing, I inhaled the air as a huge gush of wind passed by me
"Wow.." is all that came out of my mouth, how did I not know this town existed?
"Wooow" kento got out of the train after me when he did he also admired the view
"A-alright let's go find the clients house and get the details of the mission off of him" I quickly began walking to the address given on the flier, and kento followed with no objections.

//Time skip//

We made it to the clients house it was pretty big, it kinda reminds me of the heartfilia mansion..
Some of my past childhood memories replayed in my head
I looked down at my key holder and took out Aquarius key and held it tight.
"You coming?" Kento looked at me wondering what I was doing.
"U-uh yeah! Sorry I kinda got lost in thought" I put Aquarius back on my key holder and started running up the steps to kento
"It's alright, I don't mind Lu"
Kento tapped my shoulder making me look at him
"Race Ya!" Then he flew up the stairs
"H-HEY NO FAIR YOU GOT A HEAD START!!" I ran after kento.

I fell on my knees panting jeez why dose this dude need so many stairs!?!?
"Ha I beat ya Lu!" Kento jumped up in joy after his little victory dance he went to grab my hand and help me up but I slapped it away, don't ask me why because I don't even know why I did it, but I instantly regretted it after seeing Kentos face he looked hurt but also curious.
"Let's just knock" I got up off the ground dusting my knees, I walked up to the door and knocked three times hoping that was enough for them to realize someone was at their doors
A beautiful women came out, just by looking at her outfit you could tell she was a maid
"Yes, can I help you?"
"We are here to take on this mission!" I showed her the flyer and she nodded opening the door, she stood to the side holding the door for us
"Oh yes come in master has been waiting for some wizards to show up for awhile now"
We walked in and followed the maid.
All I can think about is how big this place is
"We're here!" The maid opened the door for us allowing us too enter
"Thank you" I bowed
We went into the huge room that seemed to be a living room
"Ah are you the fairytail mages?"
I nodded, he gestured for us to take a seat and we did there was tea sitting out and ready for us, steam was coming off of the tea signifying that it was just made and still warm
Kento chugged the tea but I decided to pass on mine
"If your not gonna drink it can I?"
I nodded sliding him the tea, and again he took it like it was a shot of liquor
"Thank you both for coming as you know there are demons attacking are village, it's been going on for a week now and no wizards have taken the job besides you two, which I am internally grateful for"
"Ah don't be it's just are job after all!"
"Yes, now to get to the point, these demons aren't ordinary ones they always attack at night they've destroyed several homes.. they have also injured quite a number of people, if I were you I'd proceed with caution, a group of wizards DID come by but.."
the man froze, and his face went pale
"The demons killed the group of wizards with ease"
I tensed up thinking that I could die just like them wizards.. there life over in a mere couple of seconds..
"Don't worry we aren't gonna die sir" Kento flashed a big smile and held a thumbs up
Seeing his smile made all my worries melt away, he kinda reminds me of natsu in a way
"Ya! You can count on us!"
The man began to cry which shocked us both
"Thank you.. thank you so much, one of the people who got injured was my wife.. her and I are internally grateful for what your doing"

He gave us all the information we needed, and paid for a hotel for the both of us even though we insisted we could pay for it ourselves.

It was now nighttime and me and kento were getting ready for battle
"Alright! I'm ready" I waited for kento outside, he had a separate room from me
