The celestial mage turned her gaze at the wooden wall that serves as a divider for men and female’s hot spring. Then she looked down at the water, watching the reflection of her image. Lucy nodded slightly in agreement and with a soft sigh, she responded “Then if that’s the case, it couldn’t be helped” She paused for a while, looking back at Erza and continued stating her words. “But I’m pretty sure that our conversation is just nothing to him, right? So, no worries. I’m sure he won’t take it too seriously” It’s true that Natsu has a good sense of hearing but Lucy was so confident that Natsu won’t understand Lucy and Erza’s girl talk because she thinks that Natsu was really a naive person. “That guy only cares about fighting, getting strong, beating Gildartz, Laxus, Gray and you.” she sighed. “And of course, about Fairy Tail as well. So even though he can hear our conversation, it’s not a problem correct?”
“D-DATE?!! B-But…WHO?!!” Okay, so that was a surprise. She didn’t expect that Erza had a valentines date the year before she joined the guild. She don’t know someone getting linked to her in their guild. Unless, she have someone special outside the guild. But the question was, who might that be? The only guy inside her mind was Jellal. Erza’s answer caught the blonde’s interest. “Mind sharing that moment with me?” Honestly, she was a half jealous of her. Lucy has never been in a Valentines date in her whole entire life that’s why she’s a little bit jealous. But it’s okay because she knew that someday, her real valentine will come. Just like they say; ‘Don’t search for love, let love search you’.
“I hope that you’re right about that” Lucy noticed that Erza sounded like she was sure about her statement — that this year’s Valentines would be different for Lucy. Could it be, she knew something that Lucy wasn’t aware? She gave Erza a simple nod at her request. She took the scrub from her and asked Erza to turn around so that she may start scrubbing her back. “By the way Erza, why do you sound so sure about that?”

『 A boom suddenly emerged on the other side of the purlieu, determining the situation; it seems like the salamander was protesting boisterously, thus, he was less verbal. Surely, he heard them both. Her remark probably caused him to react in such way. Though he must be making some damage on the area by now, she doesn’t intend to give him any punishment once she gets out since this was her goal; to see what effect Lucy’s words have in him. ❝Who knows, the pattern of his thinking is not something you can easily read. And also, we can’t really assume if those things are the only ones he cares about, there might be something more.❞ her retaliation came out like a tease, though it wasn’t obviously expressed. 』
『 The Titania had so much tales to tell but romance was hardly part of the chapter, howbeit, a certain bluenette managed to fulfill that episode. It seems like the blonde was taken aback by her sudden revelation ❝It occurred during the year of Daimatou Enbu, Valentines day to be specific.❞ elaborating would make her flustered; therefore, continuing won’t be easy but she had to mention his name to give a reply on the female’s query ❝I was with…J-jellal…❞ she was hesitant to utter his name, her cheeks began to tinge vermilion, a color similitude to her hair. Her blush dissipates as Lucy followed her order. 』
『 Shifting her position, she turned around as the celestial mage accepted her request; her posture gave the blonde easy access to scrub her back, a sigh would pass through the peach tiers; flanges would engage aperture as she speak ❝It’s a woman’s intuition, Lucy.❞ a clear-cut response to her inquiry, not really precise but she aim to dodge her inquisition by remaining reticent. 』
