Chapter 11 ¤ Quest

"I see." Erza sighed. She held her arms together.

"Then we have to go to this waterfall you call Floramine Fall?"

"Precisely. It's for Juvia's sake." I explained. It just took a few minutes to tell them Juvia's current condition. I remember Porlyusica warning me about some old guardians of the sacred necklace that I might not be able to stand up with alone. I'd rather have someone with me than sacrifice my precious life for nothing. I prepared already and am ready to go. I just need the others to get themselves prepared first.

"I'll get that ice freak later. But first, we'll have to take care of Juvia." Cana drank her daily vitamin again.

"Yeah."

"Have any idea of how we are supposed to go wherever it is?"

"I read some information about the thing from a book I found at the Library. It said something about a place called Larkovia where it is located. However, it didn't give any specific place of where it might be. Porlyusica said it is near the guild of Lamia Scale so she suggests we ask help from them."

"I don't think we'll need them for this."

"Yeah. Whatever. By the way, what time is it now?" I huffed.

Cana looked at her wrist where her watch is quietly ticking. "Exactly eleven o'clock."

"Oh no. The ship will be sailing after an hour or two. And it is still next town!"

Erza appeared on my front holding a cart full of bags and stuff. "Let's go. We better hurry."

Great going.

~¤~

"How many of you?"

I counted by pointing at each persons along with me."Cana, Erza, Natsu, Wendy, Mirajane, Elfman, Lisanna, and Me, I guess that's eight." He nodded and wrote something on a paper. "You may go inside now."

"Mm-mm" I murmured and faced the path ahead of us. The ship is waiting for the eight elites! Elites haha.

We started walking to the entrance of the gigantic ship that is heading for the place where the fall is to be located. The ship has white posters, decorations, hung papers, modern tables and chairs along with three pools. People walked around and took their time observing everything aboard. There ran a few kids. There swam people on swimwears. There ol' timers drank the wine prepared at the plate men in white are holding.

Nothing didn't look so bad.

We started walking inside with few of us, jaws open.

"How many days are we gonna stay on this ship again?" Someone asked.

"The one who gave us the tickets told me that we are going to arrive there at approximately--" I stopped for a few seconds. I tried to remember.

"Seven days."

Silence.

"SEVEN DAYS!?!" Everyone shouted, shocked.

"That's what he said."

"Seven days? On this wonderful, exquisite, gigantic, enjoyable-looking ship? This must be a dream. Tell me this is a dream."

"This is not a dream, Wendy. We're gonna be here. I think we're gonna relax for a while. Don't you think it'll be worth it? Considering the fact that the trials for the S-Class Mage Promption just ended."

"I think so too." Erza went ahead of us.

"W-wait!" I looked at the tickets the man gave us. He said we'll have separate rooms. Each rooms will have three persons inside.

"Erza, we're having three separate rooms. Each rooms will have three persons inside. There are room eleven, twelve, and sixteen."

"Guess the other three will be a few rooms away from us, huh?"

"Yeah. And I think you know who they are."

"Of course."

~¤~

Gray's P.O.V.

"Room sixteen, sir. It is the only room available for now. Sorry, but you're gonna have to stay inside with two other passengers. They're from a famous guild so you shouldn't worry. They're worth staying with for seven days."

"Whatever. Where is that room anyway?"

"The room next to the comfort room."

"Great. I get to be with strangers and the room is next to that stinky room. You better clean that up every hours."

"Y-yes sir."

I walked inside and looked for that damned room. I saw a door with a sign saying that it is room sixteen. I neared it and held the doorknob. I slowly pushed the door and heard two persons talking. I stopped and asked permission.

"Excuse me aliens, can I go inside?"

"Hey, I think that voice is familiar." One if them whispered. How stupid. If they're gonna whisper, they should do it properly. If I were their enemy, beating them would be a piece of cake.

"Yeah. Should we open the door or what? That person might be a thief or something."

"Thief? More like an alien. Does he know the meaning of 'Do Not Disturb'?"

'Do Not Disturb'?

I looked at the door and found a small inscription of words saying the sentence. Not so convinient.

I might actually know who those idiots are.

I pushed the door with my foot and saw two persons in fighting positions. The other one has a peach colored hair and the other one, white. As I thought.

"G-gray?" Elfman stared at me.

"Well well well. Look at this."

"Squinty eyes."

"Shut up."

"What did you do to Juvia?"

"None of your business."

"Have any idea of what condition she is in right now?"

"Not that it matters."

"F--!" Elfman stopped Natsu.

"What are you doing here? Where are you heading?" He asked.

"Why should I tell you?"

"This ship goes to only one town. And that is where the thing that can save Juvia is. Are you escaping or trying to save her?"

"Okay. Mind your own business. I didn't come here for something that will just waste my precious time. I'm gonna go to another town for a mission."

Seriously. This is getting on my nerves. That witch told me to take responsibility when I don't even know what the hell I did. It wasn't anything serious. I even got to get punched, smacked slapped, have a room next to a comfort room, and everything heavenly I can get.

"Liar."

"Liar? Why would you say that?"

"Ask Lucy why."

"Tell me already."

"Oops. Didn't you say that we should mind our own business?"

"Tch."
