Scarlet-sama•Boruto and Fairy Tail crossover

•C H A P T E R S I X T Y E I G H T•

Boruto's group on the 2nd floor made it to the 3rd with less trouble thanks to Wendy and met up with Team 10 and the others with them. There was a clear hint of awkwardness around them, but it was very slight. This floor is crazy by the way, everything is upside-down, inside out, back-to-front, mushed together and scarce at the same time. How did they manage here? He'll never know.

Along the way to arrive here, Wendy made expressions of anything she heard. Menma and Shira would mostly ask what she was laughing for or scrunched her face for, and she'd answer stuff such as;
"Daisuke-san is literally interrogating Inojin-san.", "Iwabe-san and Namida-san are calling Juvia-san 'nee-san' for whatever reason, and Natsu-san is in disbelief", or "Kashii-san and Cho-Cho won't stop rolling their eyes at Daisuke-san and Inosuke-san blabbering at Shikadai-san and Inojin-san."

Boruto sweatdrops at every word Wendy said. He knows fully well the reason for the awkwardness is due to old people's curiosity towards a happy (gay) couple.

Other than that, now that there's shinobi friends with him, his Jougan not finding any of the Oakridge citizens is a major concern. Sharing his thoughts with Ino-Shika-Cho, Namida and Iwabe is a must. Natsu and Wendy, however, assured them they're safe at the 7th floor but most likely held captive, but they're alive and kicking.

Oh, how Boruto feels grateful to dragon nose and ears.

Natsu comes up to him shortly after while everyone continues to converse amongst themselves. "I've already told Shikadai, but I'm letting you know too, Mitsuki is in some trouble. He has help, but it's still so many against three siding with him. Six of them."
Boruto knew that was definitely getting nasty the more time he's away from Mitsuki right now. He's not sure how, but if he can get the rest of their friends to convince perhaps everyone who's dead that Mitsuki isn't a threat, they might change their mind about him. Hopefully. Maybe he could use his dad for this, too...

"Thanks for looking out, Natsu, appreciate it."

The pink haired boy puts on a wide and joyful smile, grinning his fangs and all that good heartedness in his dimples. Boruto can imagine how much he's influenced Sarada in such a short span of time in their guild. He suddenly wants to join now. Where would he put his guildmark? It would obviously be in red... Maybe on his back?

Meanwhile, on the 4th floor, Erza just might have found herself a front row seat to a family angst show. Hinata and Himawari have located Sarada and whoever is with her first, then where Boruto was, where Team 10 was, and who they were with as well. The mother-daughter duo decided on regrouping with Sarada first. So now they were all trying to make their way out of a mirror maze to find a flight of stairs leading to an upper floor. Sarada is supposedly on the floor above them according to the Byakugan users.

They got lost a good amount of times. It didn't matter everyone was somehow paired off. Erza was with Tsubaki the whole time. It took shouting for everyone to communicate because they just kept getting lost. Who can blame them? Mirrors are tricky, and Erza found them kinda fun. The computer science boy, Denki was apparently lost with Kenma-kun, Himawari was with Kyoka somewhere. Only she knew where she was, really. Izumi was with the nice and perhaps only normal old man, Mitsuya. And unfortunately, Hinata was probably leading her possibly dead family member to everyone else so we can find an exist.

Why is that exactly what happened, too?! Erza deserves a good cake break and cuddle night with her boyfriend after all this.

Finally regrouping with Sarada, Erza scooped the girl in an embrace, asking if she's alright. Once she got a good answer, she went to Gray and asked the same, as she was Gray and Natsu's big sis figure. Lucy always finds herself jammed against her, so Erza didn't have to look for the blonde, and Happy was always near her. She asked Sakura and Miyake how they were doing and only then did she finally breathe. As a lady warrior, she went back to holding it again right after that breath. It's how she lives, if people can't handle that, not her fault.
