You Finally Got What You Wished For Happy!!

You finally got what you wished for Happy!!

Well... not exactly.

Aquarius: Just leave it to me. I'm used to handling this one. Go search for your other friends.

Lucy: *shocked*

Natsu: I'm not going. I'm still having fun with snake-Lucy.

Aquarius: *death glare* Huh?! I said GO!

Natsu: Aye!

Natsu runs away but stops and looks back..

Natsu: *looks at snake-Lucy* Snake-Lucy is still Lucy. So hurry up and come back to me us.

Flashes his signature grin.

Natsu: *turns back and runs* That was fun! Let's continue this sometime, Lucy! Later!

Aquarius: *turns to Lucy with a raised eyebrow* Ohh..? *looks at her body* I was gone for a while and now you've learned to seduce your man? Huh?!

Lucy: *covers her chest and flushes* He.. Uhh.. I.. it wasn't like that!!!

Everything’s dark...!!!

I know it's late but this is exactly what I thought. I initially read the raws until Chapter 165. I was rereading the other day using the English translations. And this scene hit differently when I initially read it and felt weird..

About translation

You should have already seen that Lucy’s words were translated into English as ‘I’m here’, which is not quite correct.

What she said in Japanese literally means ‘I’m with you’.

Some of you may think that it is not such a big difference, but I think for us, NaLu shippers, it is important, because ‘I’m with you’ sounds more intimate.

You know that in manga every single word matters, so such choice of words is not just a coincidence, it must convey some deeper meaning.

So I guess this way Mashima sensei wanted to show us how much closer Lucy had become to Natsu. 

Chapter went as I expected except for the last part. A Gruvia moment even without the latter. 😍 There were some really funny dialouges as well. 😂😅

But at the end of the day... Mashima-sensei, you know what WE (NaLu) want for Valentines Day... even a tiny bit of progress. 🙏🙏🙏

Damn him......... 😵😍😘😲😵
