[00:00] ---
    Previously on Fairy Tail:
[00:02] ---
    Yup, the Battle of Fairy
    Tail has been decided!
[00:06] ---
    The Fantasia went great!
[00:08] ---
    And everyone lived happily ever after!
[00:09] ---
    But Laxus ended up being expelled...
[00:12] ---
    This ain't sittin' right with me!
[00:14] ---
    Speaking of which, you sure
    have bad luck with guys, Lucy.
[00:17] ---
    We weren't speaking about that!
[00:18] ---
    Why are you bringing that up now?
[01:53] ---
    It's been one week since
    the Harvest Festival ended.
[01:57] ---
    The city is finally back
    to its usual, calm self.
[02:04] ---
    It's true that everyone was quite
    shocked when Laxus was expelled...
[02:10] ---
    Natsu was whining about it like
    a little kid until yesterday.
[02:14] ---
    This ain't right, Gramps!
[02:17] ---
    Why'd you throw Laxus out?
[02:22] ---
    The Day of the Fateful Encounter!
[02:26] ---
    He's part of our family, you know?
[02:29] ---
    Fightin's just part of being a family, right?
[02:31] ---
    Enough of this, Natsu!
[02:33] ---
    I wanna fight him again!
[02:38] ---
    Next time I'll be strong enough
    to win against him face to face!
[02:40] ---
    I said enough!
[02:42] ---
    Think about the master's feelings!
[02:44] ---
    Do you think he expelled
    Laxus because he wanted to?
[02:47] ---
    But...
[02:49] ---
    It's because it turned out Laxus
    was a Dragon Slayer like Natsu.
[02:54] ---
    No... He is not a Dragon Slayer.
[02:59] ---
    So...
[03:02] ---
    We were all really surprised
    when we heard that.
[03:05] ---
    According to the master,
[03:07] ---
    Laxus was frail when he was a child,
[03:10] ---
    so Laxus's father, Master Ivan,
[03:13] ---
    embedded a lacrima that lets you use
    Dragon Slayer Magic in his body.
[03:21] ---
    Dragon Slayer Magic lacrima?
[03:24] ---
    Things like that exist?
[03:32] ---
    Master said that he'd take responsibility for his
    grandson's actions and step down from being the master.
[03:38] ---
    Everyone tried to convince
    him to stay, but...
[03:41] ---
    Don't make Laxus's punishment
    any worse, please.
[03:44] ---
    If Laxus found out that you quit, Master...
[03:51] ---
    With a haircut signifying his repentance,
[03:53] ---
    and an air of the past, it was Freed
    that managed to talk him out of it.
[03:59] ---
    Speaking of Freed, he and the other Raijin Tribe
    finally opened up a little bit to everyone, I think.
[04:05] ---
    Go ahead and use me as
    your model, I don't mind!
[04:09] ---
    Don't go thinking anything strange now.
[04:11] ---
    I don't mean nude, okay?
[04:12] ---
    O-Oui...
[04:14] ---
    Like this? Or how do you like this?
[04:17] ---
    Hurry up and start painting.
[04:19] ---
    Are you and Loke going out?
[04:22] ---
    Are you? Are you? Are you?
[04:24] ---
    He lllllikes you...
[04:26] ---
    Ugh...
[04:27] ---
    He llllikes you!
[04:28] ---
    He likes you! He likes you!
[04:31] ---
    And, as usual, I'm mixed
    up with a bunch of weirdos.
[04:43] ---
    Ever since the end of the Harvest
    Festival, I saw Erza being alone a lot.
[04:51] ---
    Master, who exactly is he?
[04:55] ---
    To think he'd have the same
    face as someone you know...
[04:58] ---
    Sorry. I don't really know much about him.
[05:02] ---
    He's quite the tight lipped one, he is.
[05:11] ---
    Jellal...
[05:15] ---
    So, things went like that for about a week...
[05:18] ---
    But I had another big problem left!
[05:22] ---
    Erza is the winner!
[05:25] ---
    I knew it...
[05:26] ---
    Lucy's in second?
[05:28] ---
    And third place is Juvia!
[05:29] ---
    Congrats!
[05:31] ---
    Rent: Denied!
[05:36] ---
    How about working?
[05:38] ---
    Well, that'd be nice and all...
[05:42] ---
    What'll I do...?
[05:46] ---
    I wish I had a boyfriend...
[05:49] ---
    What's with you all of a sudden?
[05:51] ---
    Men... It's men!
[05:54] ---
    Go without a boyfriend for a while and
    I start gettin' the itch, you know?
[06:00] ---
    What're you all embarrassed for?
[06:02] ---
    I-I'm not...
[06:06] ---
    How many guys have you gone out with?
[06:09] ---
    Maybe like... three?
[06:11] ---
    Yup, a total lie.
[06:14] ---
    Haven't you ever wanted a boyfriend?
[06:17] ---
    Sure, a little...
[06:22] ---
    But honestly, I don't really know...
[06:25] ---
    You're so dang cute!
[06:27] ---
    Listen up, everyone! Lucy's
    never had a boyfriend!
[06:34] ---
    Worry not.
[06:36] ---
    My cards have spoken.
[06:38] ---
    Today you will have a fateful encounter.
[06:41] ---
    A fateful encounter?
[06:46] ---
    Erza, what's with the dress?
[06:49] ---
    Next up is makeup! I can't stay like this!
[06:54] ---
    Shooby doo bop!
[06:57] ---
    That's odd. The Harvest Festival
    is over already, so...
[07:02] ---
    Didn't you know?
[07:04] ---
    A reporter for the Weekly Sorcerer
    is coming to do an interview here.
[07:13] ---
    The Weekly Sorcerer is
    published every Wednesday!
[07:16] ---
    With features on new magic
    and all the hot guilds,
[07:20] ---
    plus photo spreads of
    beautiful female wizards,
[07:23] ---
    it's the magazine about magic!
[07:27] ---
    What?! The Sorce' is coming?
[07:30] ---
    He said he was writing a
    special feature on Fairy Tail.
[07:32] ---
    Interview... Special Feature...
[07:35] ---
    Reporter...
[07:36] ---
    Fateful encounter?
[07:38] ---
    Oh my god!
[07:41] ---
    A magazine reporter is coming...
[07:43] ---
    My cuteness will knock him right out.
[07:45] ---
    "Ms. Lucy... Please, allow me to
    photograph your cute smile..."
[07:50] ---
    Finally, I'll be in a photo spread!
[07:52] ---
    And that reporter is my fateful encounter!
[07:55] ---
    "Ms. Lucy, I want to continue
    this interview... forever."
[07:59] ---
    And what's more...
[08:00] ---
    If I can get a fee from doing the interview,
[08:03] ---
    I might be able to pay my rent!
[08:05] ---
    This is like killing two
    birds with one stone!
[08:07] ---
    Totally...
[08:12] ---
    I can do this! I can totally do this!
[08:16] ---
    Natsu, Lucy's broke.
[08:19] ---
    Maybe she ate something that went bad.
[08:22] ---
    Or maybe she's snapped under the
    pressure of having to pay her rent.
[08:27] ---
    I can't stay like this!
[08:30] ---
    Snip, snip...
[08:33] ---
    Snip.
[08:34] ---
    Perfect-ebi.
[08:37] ---
    You think?
[08:40] ---
    It's not to your taste-ebi?
[08:43] ---
    It's just... Maybe something
    a bit more cutting edge?
[08:46] ---
    How can I put it?
[08:48] ---
    Basically, you don't like it-ebi.
[08:52] ---
    Well, it's not that...
[08:55] ---
    I will go on a journey to train-ebi...
[08:57] ---
    That's not it, okay?
[08:59] ---
    How about I go to a bookstore and
    buy a hairstyle and makeup magazine?
[09:03] ---
    Then I'll ask you again!
[09:07] ---
    Ebi...
[09:18] ---
    A fateful encounter, huh?
[09:21] ---
    If I pick a book this way we'll
    end up touching the same book...
[09:24] ---
    Or something like that.
[09:26] ---
    So where's the development
    I've been promised, huh?
[09:35] ---
    Go ahead.
[09:37] ---
    No... You can have it.
[09:39] ---
    But...
[09:40] ---
    What?!
[09:41] ---
    Fateful Encounter!
[09:45] ---
    I don't need it!
[09:46] ---
    Here!
[09:47] ---
    Hey!
[09:51] ---
    Now that was a shock!
[09:53] ---
    I can't believe my fateful encounter would
    be with someone out of the blue like that!
[09:58] ---
    No! I can't go using up my
    luck in a place like this!
[10:02] ---
    Would you wait up?
[10:07] ---
    Do you live in this city?
[10:09] ---
    Yes.
[10:10] ---
    I was wondering... Could you show me around?
[10:13] ---
    W-Why me?
[10:15] ---
    I'm writing a novel while traveling around.
[10:18] ---
    A novel?
[10:21] ---
    I use all the things I see in the cities
    I visit as sources for my novel.
[10:27] ---
    Well, that's really admirable.
[10:29] ---
    All those memories will make that pen fly!
[10:32] ---
    Wait, are you also a writer?
[10:34] ---
    Oh... Well, maybe just a little.
[10:37] ---
    I see.
[10:38] ---
    Oh, yeah. That book from before.
[10:41] ---
    I'll give it to you as a present.
[10:44] ---
    So... Would you take me around for a day?
[10:47] ---
    Sorry... I'm really busy today.
[10:51] ---
    I see... That's a shame.
[10:53] ---
    I'm sorry!
[10:57] ---
    It couldn't be...
[10:59] ---
    This can't be my fateful encounter...
[11:25] ---
    Oh, welcome back, Erza!
[11:28] ---
    Shoot!
[11:30] ---
    I forgot to go buy the magazine...
[11:32] ---
    And came here instead of going back home...
[11:36] ---
    Oh! Titania!
[11:39] ---
    Holy... In the flesh!
[11:41] ---
    Cooool! Cool! Cool!
[11:44] ---
    It's Erza herself, right here before me!
[11:46] ---
    Cooool!
[11:47] ---
    Cool...
[11:48] ---
    Who's this high-strung weirdo?
[11:51] ---
    That's Mr. Jason, from the Weekly Sorcerer.
[11:55] ---
    Isn't this just the way I usually am?
[11:58] ---
    And after I went and got all dressed up...
[12:00] ---
    No problem!
[12:01] ---
    I want to capture you as you are naturally!
[12:04] ---
    Cooool... Cool! Cool!
[12:08] ---
    My fated person? Probably not...
[12:12] ---
    Anyway, no way I'm going to let my chance
    at getting a photo spread slip by!
[12:16] ---
    Very cute!
[12:18] ---
    My name is Lucy!
[12:20] ---
    Erza there is my friend, see!
[12:22] ---
    Would you answer a few questions?
[12:25] ---
    I don't mind.
[12:26] ---
    Ignored!
[12:27] ---
    How many different requips
    are there you can do?
[12:31] ---
    Over 100.
[12:33] ---
    Cooool!
[12:35] ---
    Which one is your favorite?
[12:36] ---
    Maybe the bunny girl?
[12:38] ---
    Bunny?
[12:40] ---
    Those ears are really cute.
[12:44] ---
    Cooooooool!
[12:48] ---
    What're your favorite foods?
[12:50] ---
    I can't do without cheesecake or soufflé.
[12:54] ---
    I knew it! Nobody knows who the heck I am!
[12:58] ---
    I don't wanna hear you laughing about it!
[13:01] ---
    Happy!
[13:02] ---
    Why are you blue?
[13:04] ---
    Because I am a cat.
[13:06] ---
    I suck!
[13:10] ---
    stare
[13:13] ---
    Dang...
[13:15] ---
    He's totally not my type.
[13:17] ---
    What'll I do if this is my fateful encounter?
[13:20] ---
    It's Gray!
[13:21] ---
    Gray is here, in the flesh!
[13:25] ---
    Who are you?
[13:26] ---
    He's that magazine reporter.
[13:28] ---
    Could it be... Are you...Juvia?
[13:31] ---
    Cooool!
[13:34] ---
    Gray, why do you take off
    your clothes so quickly?
[13:36] ---
    I do not!
[13:38] ---
    Stop callin' people perverts!
[13:39] ---
    Gray-sama, your pants!
[13:42] ---
    It's kind of hot in here...
[13:44] ---
    I might have to strip down myself...
[13:49] ---
    So you're the reporter?!
[13:52] ---
    Natsu! Natsu, the Salamander!
[13:54] ---
    You're the one I wanted to meet most of all!
[13:57] ---
    Cool!
[13:59] ---
    Take it down a notch!
[14:00] ---
    Hey, hey! You're always writin'
    nasty things about me!
[14:04] ---
    Yes!
[14:05] ---
    Like about the stuff I destroyed, or the
    stuff I destroyed, or the stuff I destroyed...
[14:09] ---
    Cool! Cool! Cool!
[14:11] ---
    Whoa! It's really you!
[14:13] ---
    This is radical, to the max!
[14:18] ---
    Can I shake your hand?
[14:19] ---
    Shut up!
[14:20] ---
    Cooool!
[14:23] ---
    Whoa, he's just too cool...
[14:25] ---
    Truly a hero!
[14:27] ---
    I've never seen such a cool handshake before.
[14:30] ---
    What a pro.
[14:32] ---
    Elfman, what is being a man to you?
[14:36] ---
    And his answer... "Being a Man!"
[14:38] ---
    So cooool!
[14:41] ---
    Team Shadow Gear, is it true
    you're in a love triangle?
[14:44] ---
    And their answer... "No comment."
[14:46] ---
    Dang, this rocks!
[14:49] ---
    Cana, do a photo shoot this time, okay?
[14:52] ---
    Whatever! Have a seat and drink up!
[14:55] ---
    I don't care how desperate
    I am, this ain't happening.
[14:58] ---
    Master, what are your
    aspirations for the guild?
[15:01] ---
    Um... To be devoted every day in
    our hearts to love and justice!
[15:05] ---
    I smell a lie!
[15:06] ---
    The Raijin Tribe has been dissolved?
[15:08] ---
    No.
[15:09] ---
    No way in hell!
[15:10] ---
    We'll work hard to make up for Laxus!
[15:12] ---
    You've had a makeover!
[15:14] ---
    I'm aiming to win the next
    Miss Fairy Tail Contest!
[15:17] ---
    I haven't heard from you two in a while!
[15:19] ---
    Well, haven't you grown!
[15:21] ---
    Go easy on us, got it?
[15:23] ---
    Of course!
[15:24] ---
    Hey, hey!
[15:27] ---
    He's not paying any attention to me at all!
[15:30] ---
    I have no other choice...
[15:32] ---
    It's embarrassing, but it's my only option!
[15:36] ---
    Attention, everyone!
[15:38] ---
    I'm a cute li'l bunny!
[15:41] ---
    I'll be the one to sing!
[15:42] ---
    Shooby doo bop!
[15:44] ---
    Gajeel?!
[15:45] ---
    Not you again!
[15:48] ---
    He's here!
[15:50] ---
    Iron Gajeel!
[15:51] ---
    Cooooool!
[15:59] ---
    In this world, where you look like
    a fool for doin' what's right...
[16:02] ---
    You always looked like a fool, you know?
[16:06] ---
    In other words, it's right to be a fool.
[16:11] ---
    So, partner... Can you hear me?
[16:13] ---
    This is a song from my soul...
[16:15] ---
    It's like lightning up my
    spine that never stops!
[16:18] ---
    Shut up, Gajeel!
[16:24] ---
    Why, you...
[16:25] ---
    Enough with you singin' your crappy songs!
[16:28] ---
    I got business with him!
[16:30] ---
    I haven't sung anything yet!
[16:32] ---
    Let me sing, you bastard Salamander!
[16:35] ---
    Take this, you!
[16:40] ---
    Come on, you two... We're in
    the middle of an interview.
[16:44] ---
    It's a super battle between two Dragon
    Slayers unfolding before my very eyes!
[16:49] ---
    The photo spread for this issue is gonna
    be a detailed analysis of it, definitely!
[16:56] ---
    Cool...
[16:57] ---
    Cool...
[16:58] ---
    Please, look this way.
[17:00] ---
    That's it!
[17:07] ---
    A hands on report... Hands on...
[17:10] ---
    Cool...
[17:12] ---
    What a pro.
[17:23] ---
    Oh, for Pete's sake!
[17:30] ---
    I'll show you around
    town, as a fellow author.
[17:35] ---
    Well, it's not really a novel
    yet. Just an unhatched idea.
[17:39] ---
    Then, same as me!
[18:18] ---
    What're you making such a freaky face for?
[18:20] ---
    Scary.
[18:22] ---
    It's the same face I always have!
[18:24] ---
    Let's go on a job!
[18:27] ---
    We have to get to the client's
    house by tomorrow morning,
[18:30] ---
    so we'll take a night train.
[18:31] ---
    Right now?
[18:33] ---
    I can't.
[18:34] ---
    Huh? But you're always complaining
    you don't have any money.
[18:38] ---
    I can't today.
[18:41] ---
    Because...
[18:42] ---
    Would you like to get something
    to eat tonight around 9?
[18:45] ---
    I'd like to talk with you some more.
[18:49] ---
    I've got a date!
[18:54] ---
    Oh...
[18:56] ---
    Aye...
[18:57] ---
    Hey! You don't have to be that depressed!
[19:00] ---
    What's with them?
[19:02] ---
    After Mr. Jason left,
[19:06] ---
    they were all excited about
    going on a job with you, Lucy.
[19:09] ---
    Huh? Why?
[19:12] ---
    They said they found a job that'd be
    perfect for you, although it's not much.
[19:42] ---
    I guess Lucy really isn't coming...
[20:18] ---
    I knew she wouldn't show...
[20:22] ---
    And yet, here I am.
[20:25] ---
    Thanks for waiting!
[20:26] ---
    Lucy!
[20:30] ---
    I thought you had a date?
[20:33] ---
    Anyway, what's this cheap
    job that's perfect for me?
[20:37] ---
    It's 70,000 jewel, exactly your rent!
[20:41] ---
    Your rent is 70,000 jewel, right?
[20:43] ---
    This could last you for three months!
[20:46] ---
    Natsu, it'll last one month. Don't
    you know what "exactly" means?
[20:50] ---
    Then, what about your portions?
[20:53] ---
    Without your house, where
    will we weight train?
[20:57] ---
    Aye!
[20:58] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[21:02] ---
    Thanks.
[21:04] ---
    I'm glad I came.
[21:06] ---
    In the end, what's most important
    to me are my friends at Fairy Tail.
[21:14] ---
    I guess he wasn't my
    fated person after all...
[21:22] ---
    I came in her place...
[21:28] ---
    Lucy's such a helpless romantic...
    This takes an experienced woman.
[21:35] ---
    She's totally my type!
[21:42] ---
    Again?
[21:44] ---
    As usual...
[22:03] ---
    It's only a little bit further.
[22:04] ---
    So hang in there? Okay?
[22:07] ---
    You can do it!
[22:12] ---
    Just as my cards foretold...
[22:17] ---
    Today you will have a fateful encounter...
[23:56] ---
    Juvia's acting weird, don't you think?
[23:58] ---
    Really? I think everyone else
    in the guild is being strange.
[24:02] ---
    It's just the usual fighting, right?
[24:04] ---
    I've got a sense that there's
    something different about it.
[24:08] ---
    Anyway, let's mix it up ourselves!
[24:10] ---
    Are you even listening to me?
[24:12] ---
    Next time: Special Request.
    Watch out for the guy you like!
[24:16] ---
    Okay! I'll take on Lucy first!
[24:19] ---
    She seems to be avoiding you...
[24:21] ---
    Something isn't right...
[24:22] ---
    I wonder what I did?
[24:24] ---
