"Bella, Happy, don't get lost okay?"

"Alright, Haruka-chan!"

They now had reached their destination, Elmina which Rae believed a place where they could find the Water God Dragon, she's unsure since she was unconscious for the whole journey. It seemed like after the incident with that jellyfish thing, she had fallen asleep for such a long time and fortunately, there's Gray. He had helped to carry her all the way here, though Natsu and Loke did offer to do the honor but Lucy wasn't going to give them chance to touch her sister knowing their perverted side.

The team went ahead to find a hotel for a quick rest however, Rae was baffled to see a fish on the reception counter. "Is this normal here? I mean, we have a bat and cats talking—" She tugged Gray's fingers to quietly asked him. However, she didn't realize how close they were actually, her lips almost touched his ear when he leaned his head down a little and it actually tickled him a bit. He was given shivers. His eyes stared at those plump lips, wondering how would they feel but later snapped out of it when Natsu picked the fish up and it transformed into a man.

"Welcome, friends to Hotel Journey."

Rae let out a small scream and almost jumped into Gray's arms. That man told them that he was taking a nap earlier and had accidentally turned into a fish as if that was normal. It was mind-blowing. Rae never knew, a fish guy existed, but it did sound possible especially when there was Carla, she can turn into a human too. He admitted he was a fish originally, later in the middle of their conversation, he ran off, yelling he had a date and told them to use any room as they pleased.

But before he could leave, he had left a reminder to them. If they planned on staying in that city, they must not forget to drink the complimentary beverage left in their rooms. Otherwise, as humans, they will not be able to live there. Rae dusted the smoke he made when he accelerated, her eyes roamed around. the building was surprisingly well-built despite not having humans tended them but she was worried if it was safe to stay there. But finding another place would be exhausting since they were quite worn-out now.

Each of them went to their room respectively. Haruka and Wendy shared a room together and if it wasn't because of Erza, Lucy would have shared a room with Rae. The redhead had pulled Lucy's hand to help her carry her cart inside. "Nee-san, help me!" The poor girl stretched her hand out towards her older sister but Rae only waved her hand sneakily and giggled for her. Erza had forbade her to carry any heavy things, hence it was why, Gray was asked to send Rae's things to her room.

"Thank you, Gray."

The Ice Mage only smiled. Though he was making weird faces because of the drink they had earlier. It tasted really weird and Rae creased her forehead. "Does it really? I mean, it doesn't really taste anything, it's just like a plain water." The guy shuddered, she never failed to amaze him. That poison like drink tasted so horrible and that girl just drank it like a glass of champagne earlier. He remembered how she absolutely loved the drinks made by Warrod before. Talking about him, Gray wonder if that old guy would be happy to know that his old friend, Blaire Heartfilia was alive.
