A/N: This chapter has a lot of time skips of a short time. It is impossible to write about every day. The next chapter will be an auxiliary chapter which will have all the powers of the Djinns (Both originals and which are made by me).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, Axel and Erza were roaming through Era.
Axel: Do you know the way??
Erza: Yes I have visited before.
After walking for another 10 minutes then were standing in front of a huge building.
Axel: So this is the lacrima research association??
Erza: Yup… let's go in.
After that, both of them walked inside and found an attendant.
Erza: Excuse me, we are from Fairy Tail and we accepted the request posted by your association.
Attendant: Oh, please follow me. The request was posted by my superior but currently, he is not available. He left some books for you so that you can get the general idea of the location of the flower and all you need to know about it.
Axel: So can we study the books here??
Attendant: Yes of course. If you want to take those books you are free to.
Erza: No need we will just study about that flower here. So what exactly do we need to do??
Attendant: Get the flower and bring it here. Even if it is dried no problem and here we are. Please take a seat and this is the book.
~TIMESKIP EVENING~
Erza: So this is going to be a long mission.
Axel: Yes, we should depart tomorrow.
Erza: Why?? Even if we find the plant it is not going to bloom before 7 months.
Axel: Yes but first we need to find the lost island first, that will take time.
Erza: Yes you are right. So have to stay in Caracole Island, the book said that the lost island should be near that.
Axel: Yep… Now let's find someplace to crash.
Erza: No first we need to go the docks so that we can know which ship will be going there.
Axel: You are right.
After that, both of them went to the docks to look for the ship to Caracole Island. After that, they came back and got into an inn.
~TIMESKIP NEXT DAY~ (On the ship)
They got on a commercial ship which about 30 other passengers on board. It was going to take them 2 days to reach Caracole Island. Currently, Erza and Axel were standing on board the ship while checking out the weather and sea.
Axel: We are gonna get fried because of the heat.
Erza: My armor is getting heated up.
Axel: Why don't you take it off??
Erza: .... This armor makes me feel safe around all these people.
Axel: But I am here, nothing will happen to you.
Erza didn't say anything and Axel didn't push her. After some time she re-equips her armor into a simple white shirt. Axel saw her and didn't say anything just smiled.
Erza: What??
Axel: You look beautiful.
Erza: Wha… What?? What are you saying so suddenly??
Erza turns completely red and she starts to stutter. Axel finds that cute and starts to laugh sheepishly. Erza becomes completely embarrassed and turns her face away from Axel.
Axel: You are looking too cute.
Erza: … Shut up baka.
After that, she tries to punch with a red face but Axel simply dodges her.
Axel: I was just complimenting you now calm down.
Erza: Ok, sorry I lost my cool there.
~TIMESKIP 2 DAYS~
As soon as they reached the docks Axel jumped down from the ship along with Erza.
Axel: Finally surface, I am so glad. I was unable to sleep peacefully with all the swaying of the ship.
Erza: Same here.
Both of them had dark circles under their eyes. The groggily asked some locals where they could found an inn and they pointed them towards the resort. Seeing no other options they directly went towards the inn and entered.
Erza: Excuse me we want two separate rooms with single beds.
Receptionist: I am sorry but we have only one couple's room available now.
Erza: Axel will that be ok with you??
Axel: Yes no problem.
Receptionist: Then it will be 7 thousand jewels per day.
After they paid her something like 50 thousand jewels they took their room keys. They entered their room and Axel directly flopped on the bed.
Erza: First take a bath and then lie down. So what's the plan, how will we search??
Axel: Both of us have flight magic we can look from above.
Erza: Axel…. Can I ask you something??
Axel: Yes sure.
Erza: Can I touch your ears and tail??
Axel: …..Yes.
Erza: As in I meant now.
Axel: Ok, just give me a second. Come and reside within Valefor.
Axel goes into Djinn Equip of Valefor. Erza immediately gets and stars in her eyes and jumps over Axel. She starts to mofu mofu hi ears first and Axel has to say he felt quite nice when Erza was doing that. A slight moan escaped from his mouth, Erza heard that and immediately turned red and withdraws her hand from his ear.
Axel: Sorry my ears are quite sensitive now.
Erza: Oh… Can I touch your tail now??
Axel: Go ahead.
After that Erza grabs his tails slowly and starts to caress them. Axel was feeling really good but he was not going to say that out loud. Maybe later when Erza would become his girlfriend. But there was a thought inside Axel's mind which kept reappearing. He tried to put that thought behind his head but still, it didn't work.
Axel: (A/N: Flag raised)
