Solomon's Child (Fairy Tail Fanfic)

Solomon's Child Part 4

quick note for this chapter, for a few of the celestial spirits i will be translating them into elemental spirits due to their importance to the story. this does not mean that celestial spirit magic dosent still exist in this story but it has no relation to this Lucy. with that out of the way enjoy this new chapter!

Lucy stared down at Natsu, who was currently battling against his stomach and losing, as they made their way the town their job was taking place in, a town named Shirotsume. Lucy, Happy, and Natsu had immediately left after Natsu had forced the job request into Lucy's face, the three speeding off before anyone could say anything.

Knowing that Natsu would be incapable of holding a conversation with his lunch threatening to emerge and Happy was satisfied with poking his partner in the face. So with nothing else to do Lucy merely inspected the job request.

The job was suspiciously simple, the only stipulation being that they burn a book in the possession of a Duke Everlue and once they did so they would receive twenty thousand Jewels. Lucy narrowed her eyes as she reread the request, "It's" suspicions mirroring her own. She had destroyed too much evidence in her life for her to not notice the similarities between what she once did and this request.

However, Lucy decided to shelve her concerns for the moment and looked back up at the nauseous dragon slayer and his cat.

"Excuse me, Natsu, Happy; but I was curious as to why you asked me to come along with you on this job. Surely magicians of your skills shouldn't have any difficulty retrieving such a book."

Happy and Natsu smiled strangely, although Natsu's smile looked a little more pathetic due to his motion sickness. However neither answered Lucy's question, instead Happy merely flew over and pointed at a small section of text at the bottom of the job request that Lucy had missed.

"Please note; Everlue is currently looking to hire a new maid with blonde hair..." Lucy murmured out loud causing the other two in the carriage to snicker loudly.

Lucy blinked rapidly as she reread the note. To think that they would pick a job that perfectly pertains to both my physical attributes as well as my unique talents...I can't underestimate these two. Lucy thought in shock, slightly worried that if they could already see through her to such an extent that some of her more personal secrets would end up coming to light.

However Lucy didn't allow her doubts to show on her face and instead stared back up at the two mages and gave them booth a thumbs up. "Excellently done!" she declared, causing the other two to stare at her curiously for a second before a particularly large wave of nausea hit Natsu.

It was only around two more hours of traveling before the three arrived in Shirotsume town, Natsu instantly reviving the moment they exited the carriage. Natsu instantly began to complain about how hungry he was and deciding to get some food at the first restaurant he saw. Lucy however politely declined to join them for lunch, as she had supplies she had to procure before the mission began.

When Lucy returned to the restaurant clad in a maid uniform she managed to find from a clothing store Natsu started to choke on the piece of meat he had been shoveling into his mouth.

"L-lucy? why are you wearing a maid uniform?" He questioned tentatively, causing Lucy to blink and tilt her head in confusion.

"For infiltrating the mansion of course. Isn't that why you brought me in the first place?"

"No, well I mean that's true but...oh never mind." Natsu said with a sigh as Lucy took a seat on his other side and started to eat a small portion that had been set aside for her.
