Chapter 12 On the Road
After going through hardships together, Natsu, who had come to accept Shirou Kotomine and Lucy, led them to Magnolia, the town where the Fairy Tail guild was located.
Therefore, they need to take a train.
Thus, the scene that unfolded before Kotomine Shirou's eyes came to be.
Natsu lay on the three-seater seat, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
Before that, he had actually been vomiting for a long time while clinging to the train window.
The reason he's lying so obediently in his seat now is probably because he can't vomit anything anymore.
"That's right, Natsu is completely helpless with vehicles. He gets severe motion sickness as soon as he gets on a vehicle."
Sitting next to Natsu's head, Happy spread his hands and explained nonchalantly.
It's clear that it's used to this kind of situation.
"I have personally experienced his ability before."
"I fought alongside Natsu on the ship," said Shirou Kotomine with a light laugh.
He was already used to this situation.
After all, he knew much more.
For example, motion sickness is a common weakness among Dragon Slayers, a symptom that only appears in Dragon Slayers with a high level of mastery of Dragon Slayer Magic.
It is the mark of a dragon slayer.
"I see. No wonder he was at a loss when he fell from the sky while he was on the ship. So that's why."
Lucy, on the other hand, looked as if she had just realized something.
"I never expected that a strong person like Natsu would have such a bizarre weakness."
Thinking of this, Lucy couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
"Lucy, it's very unethical to laugh at other people's weaknesses."
Seeing Lucy's sly smile, Shirou Kotomine smiled and reminded her.
"Sorry, sorry, I wasn't laughing at Natsu, I was just laughing at the contrast between his personality and his personality."
Lucy hurriedly and frantically explained.
"It's okay, Natsu won't mind."
Harpy also said with a smile.
"That's true, Natsu's personality doesn't seem like someone who would care about this kind of thing."
After saying that, Kotomine Shirou turned to look out the window.
His wicked scheme had succeeded, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Influenced by his own father and daughter with their eccentric personalities, Shirou Kotomine also developed the habit of finding amusement in watching others' embarrassing situations.
For example, the way Lucy hurriedly explained herself just now.
That would be so interesting.
.
As the train continued to move forward, Shirou Kotomine and his companions gradually quieted down.
Natsu was carsick, and Happy was sleeping next to him, their heads close together, creating a remarkably harmonious scene.
As for Kotomine Shirou, he was gazing out the window at the rapidly disappearing scenery, lost in his own memories.
He was constantly recalling the plot of the work "Fairy Tail".
This was incredibly important to him.
But no matter how hard he tried to recall, most of the details had vanished without a trace.
The rest were scenes that left a deep impression on him.
After all, it had been far too long since he last watched this anime.
"No, I just can't remember those memories no matter what."
Rubbing his throbbing head, Shirou Kotomine muttered helplessly to himself.
"It seems I'll have to find a way to regain my memories or some kind of tool in the future."
Shaking his head, Shirou Kotomine's gaze swept over Natsu and Happy before finally settling on Lucy sitting next to him.
At that moment, she was holding a book and reading it carefully.
That appearance was so elegant.
But Shirou Kotomine had no interest in appreciating this elegance at all.
He stared intently at the book in Lucy's hands.
At that moment, Shirou Kotomine suddenly remembered something extremely important to him.
That means he doesn't know how to read yet.
Although, with the help of general language knowledge, he can now speak most of the languages of this world.
But saying it is one thing, and seeing it is another.
Being able to speak doesn't mean you can write.
For Shirou Kotomine, who was preparing to learn various magical knowledge from another world, not being able to read was a major crisis.
"Lucy, Lucy, stop looking, Lucy."
Anxious, Shirou Kotomine quickly shook Lucy's shoulder.
"What's wrong, Shirou? You're in such a hurry. That's quite rare."
Although Lucy was somewhat annoyed at being woken up from her reading by Shirou Kotomine, she became even more curious about his flustered state.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, she had a general understanding of Kotomine Shirou's personality.
Although she always has a smile on her face, she can be quite silent at times.
They are good at listening to others.
They are quite composed when they sit down to do things.
This is Lucy's preliminary summary of the characteristics of Shirou Kotomine's personality.
That's why she was curious about Kotomine Shirou's flustered state.
"Help me, Lucy, I can't read."
"ha!?"
Lucy, who had been speculating for a long time, never expected that Shirou Kotomine would panic over something like this.
This left her somewhat puzzled.
"Shouldn't you be used to not being able to read by now? Why are you suddenly panicking at a time like this?"
"But if you can't read, you can't accept missions, right?"
Kotomine Shirou, who was not good at dealing with unexpected situations, came up with a suitable excuse.
"That's not wrong!"
Lucy nodded slightly.
She agreed with Kotomine Shirou's reasoning.
After all, the reason she wanted to join Fairy Tail was not only because she was a fan of the guild, but also because she wanted to prove herself as an excellent mage by completing challenging tasks.
"But I can't teach you in a short time."
Lucy helplessly spread her hands.
If Shirou Kotomine simply wants to learn certain knowledge, she does have a quick way to do so if he already knows how to read.
But if she couldn't read, there was nothing she could do.
"It's okay, I have a way!"
With the language literacy device already in his ears, Shirou Kotomine pointed at Lucy's book and said, "Just read the contents of the book to me."
"Read it out?"
"Oh, I see!"
Lucy glanced at the magical gadgets that Shirou Kotomine was wearing on his ears, and instantly understood what he meant.
If one can speak, and knows the corresponding character for each word, theoretically one can quickly recognize all the characters.
But this is just theory.
However, with the aid of magical items, this theory can certainly be achieved.
Magical items are just that useful.
"Okay, I'll start reading then."
Lucy, always eager to teach, flipped to the front of her book and placed it on Shirou Kotomine's lap so he could memorize the words.
Then she braced herself on the seat between the two of them, leaning slightly towards Kotomine Shirou.
After confirming that she could see the words clearly, she began to read them aloud.
Meanwhile, Shirou Mine was also listening attentively and taking notes.
In this focused teaching environment, time flies by.
Soon, Shirou Kotomine and his group arrived at their destination, Magnolia.
