Light Novel Contents: Gruvia Edition

I’ve had a lot of questions about the light novel. Since it’s in Japanese, my understanding is very, very limited. With the help of translation software and @chanting-to-u, I can at least attest that there are a few cute Gruvia interactions.

1) Juvia loses her clothing in a battle. Gray sees this and turns red. 2) Juvia eventually has to wear something else after losing said clothes. She ends up in a shell bra and a skirt that makes her look like a mermaid. She’s incredibly embarrassed. 3) Sensing her embarrassment from her lack of clothing, Gray offers his top/jacket. She gets excited by this, but eventually hands it back saying it’s “too soon”. 4) Lucy notes Juvia is upset about her outfit and tells her it suits her and that she looks like a mermaid princess (of which, she was trying to get Gray to compliment Juvia…atta girl,Lucy). Impressively, Gray gets the point and complements Juvia which makes her happy. 5) Later, Juvia gets scared about something and latches on to Gray. Of course, he tries to back up. Since she’s wearing a shell bra, he gets an arm full and clear view of boobs. He gets red again. 6) For those counting, that’s three events of Gray getting flustered over Juvia’s boobs. They aren’t together yet in this novel, but the dynamic is also somewhere between the old tsun and the “you’re mine” territory. 7) There’s also a clearly described dream sequence of a wedding. 8) Gray and Juvia are pretty much together the whole novel except when he becomes the naked king. Juvia comically finds out about this when the town throws Gray a parade.

This list is not exhaustive, and I’m pretty sure I’m missing stuff. As far as the other ships, I’m not sure what goes on.

EDIT 1: This isn’t after the ending of the manga. Gray doesn’t have his Alvarez scar. These light novels don’t particularly go anywhere in the timeline.
