Ch 87: Preparation

The next day.

After the cleaning day, the activity of the party resumed as usual. Now that Rochen had joined them, they departed in the morning in a quest to take down the unique monster.

Of course, with Natsu and the other's strength, there was little to no trouble finishing this quest.

Even Rochen did not need to step in to handle the monster.

However, just when they thought they could go back to Fairy Tail and take another quest, Natsu accidentally hit a strange magic system.

And currently, the group of four was thrown into a strange island, no one knows where.

" So… we are really lost now?" Natsu tilted his head.

" Bastard, we have been saying this for so long! It is all because of you!!" Lucy, who heard Natsu could not help but complain and hit Natsu once.

Nonetheless, when she turned her head aside, she turned a bit sour.

It was an event that did not hap[en in the original story. Yet, under a tree on the stranded island, a couple of lovebirds were throwing birdshits everywhere.

" Erza, here! You are so skinny. You must eat this!"

" Ah, I'm okay. Rather, aren't you the one that should eat it?"

Rochen and Erza, the two seemed to be immersed in their own world. Even when they were thrown into this kind of situation, they didn't seem to be too bothered as long as they were in each other company.

But for real. Having a man like Rochen, who was caring and strong, is a blessing for every woman in this world.

Why would he be this kind and caring toward Erza. But against her, he seemed to be a bit cold. Lucy still remembered vividly when Rochen just smiled when she asked him question and did not elaborate further.

Even Lucy could not help but get slightly envious.

Especially comparing him to…

" Look, Lucy! I find a giant crab!"

" Bastard Natsu, don't use my pants as a fishing net!"

Yup, Lucy could not help but shake her head helplessly.

Comparing Rochen to Gray and Natsu, it felt like the two did not stand a chance at all.

Heck, there was even no comparison.

Still, Lucy quickly shook those thoughts away.

She forced herself to smile and replied to Natsu:

" Nice one, Natsu! Now we only need to cook them!!"

. . . . . . .

Later, the night came, and Lucy and Erza stayed in a tent that Rochen mysteriously brought. While Rochen, Gray, and Natsu stay outside.

At this time, Lucy really did not know it anymore.

In the one hand, she felt that Rochen was caring. But at the same time, she also felt a bit suspicious.

Why was this guy so prepared? Even that time when everyone else was transported to this place and panicked, Lucy could not remember this guy getting flustered at all.

And Lucy being Lucy, the more she thought about it, the more she could not fill the curiosity on her heart.

She looked toward the side, and after making sure that Erza had fallen asleep, she decided to make a bold move.

She sneaked around at night, only to see Rochen was not on his spot while the other two had fallen asleep.

And just right when she was about to find out Rochen's whereabouts, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

" So Lucy, what do you have for me this late at night?"

" ???? "

Lucy almost screamed out loud. Luckily, Rochen was very quick to react, and he held Lucy's mouth with his hand.

" Damn, what do you want to do? Are you going to wake up the others?"

To Rochen's remark, Lucy could only blush as she scratched her help helplessly. To be caught offhanded, she was really embarrassed.

However, as soon as she regained her composure, her eyes narrowed as she looked at Rochen.

" Rochen… Can you tell me that all that is happening right now is not your plan?"

" ???"

To Rochen's confused expression. Lucy quickly explained:

" You seemed way too calm! Even when we first came to this island, you seemed to be all prepared. I don't want to think that this is the case, but I can't help to get a bit suspicious. Especially when all of this just happened after you joined us!"

Rochen could not help but get perplexed.

This girl, her intuition was way too good.

He had more than a few years in this world, and during that time, Rochen did not sit still and did nothing.

He was preparing for an event like this, and even today, his goal was to make Lucy became aware of him.

But who would expect that because of him being too calm, he would be exposed this soon?

Nonetheless, sometimes, a change in the plan could also benefit him.

Rochen smirked as she heard Lucy's answer.

" Well, I must admit that you are a little bit sharp there. However…."

" Now that you have discovered it, what do you think you can do?"

An evil face emerged as Rochen looked at Lucy like a predator looking at his prey.
