Chapter 3 – Natsu and Lucy.
Nahida did not know what had happened, but probably Ramiris had not liked his cake.
"I don't know what to do. I should just leave the guests alone." Anyway, he would only need to wait 10 hours before earning enough upgrade points to increase the size of one of the rooms.
Nahida went back to the reception desk and sat down.
Unwittingly, he slept again, only to wake up the next morning to the bell above the door ringing and a fairy poking Nahida's nose for food.

While walking through Magnolia, a city of over 60,000 people, a short, muscular pink haired boy with a strange tattoo on his arm noticed an unfamiliar old building.
"Hey, Natsu, that building wasn't here before, was it?" The blonde girl next to him said suspiciously.
It was an old wooden building with a rather fragile structure. On the wall of the building was written in the language of that world.
[ Yamato Inn ]
"I haven't seen this here before. Isn't it too close to the guild building? It's an inn. Should we go in?" Natsu said with a bright smile.
"But it's an inn! We have a mission to accomplish and don't need a place to rest right now."
"Who cares? That place looks interesting. Don't you feel it? There's a strange magic in this place."
"Now that you mention it..." Lucy put her hand on her chin and looked seriously at Natsu. "Let's just have a look."
"!"
Natsu and Lucy approached the old door of the building. Natsu opened it, causing the bell above the door to swing.
After they entered, they found a small blonde girl flying in front of the face of a middle-aged man with blond hair. She was poking his nose with something that looked like a feather.
"..." Natsu stared at that scene briefly before turning around. He grabbed Lucy by the neck. "Hey, Lucy, do you see that? Isn't that a fairy?"
"What's gotten into you?!" Lucy said angrily and then answered Natsu's question. "Fairies don't exist, do they? They're just myths."
"No, I'm sure that's a fairy, right?" Natsu and Lucy turned to look at the little fairy. She was closer to them.
"Hey, who are you?! I've never seen you two before. You two emit some strange magic I've never seen before!" Ramiris pointed her finger at the two of them, causing Natsu and Lucy to take a few steps back.
Natsu frowned and moved closer, looking at Ramiris closely.
"Are you a fairy?" He began walking around her, looking at every detail of her small body and causing her discomfort.
"Yes, I am a fairy! Hey, you! Tell this weirdo to stop staring at me like that! That's creepy!" Ramiris flew away. Lucy walked up to Natsu and slapped him on the head.
"Hey, stop it, you're scaring her."
"So, can I help you?" Then the blond, middle-aged man finally said something. He watched intently the interaction of the three characters he knew very well. It was like a dream.
It was fun to watch.
"Hey, Innkeeper, that guy is weird. He was weirdly looking at my body!" Ramiris protected her body with her arms. She flew to Nahida's side, seeking protection.
'Does she already trust me? Where is Beretta to protect her?"
"Huh? I wasn't looking at you weirdly. I was just surprised. It's just that I've never seen a fairy before... It's an eternal mystery. The name of our guild is Fairy Tail."
"Guild? I've never heard of such a strange name for a guild." Ramiris shook her head. "All right, forget it. Innkeeper, I want the meal you promise. I paid for it!"
"Oh, the meal."
"You better give me something better than that cake yesterday! I almost died when I ate that garbage! Bleh!'
"Okay, I'll do my best." Nahida began to wonder if his hotel was under-visited because of his food. "But before that, I need to attend to these two people. Are you two after a room?"
Nahida gave a gentle smile.
"It's not that; sorry for the inconvenience. This idiot got curious and decided to come in, that's all. We don't need a room; we're going now."
"Wait a minute, Lucy! I want to ask about the strange magic in this place. Do you know anything about it? Also, his clothes are strange."
"Now that you mention it."
"I don't like being stared at." Nahida scratched his head. "Well, I don't know anything about the weird magic you're talking about. This is just a normal inn here, like any other."
"I see..." Natsu said suspiciously. He then took one last look at Ramiris before shrugging. "Come on, Lucy. Hey, you, I'll be back later." Natsu opened the door to leave. When he opened the door, Nahida could see outside.
The environment had changed again.
This time it was a busy paved street with rather distinctive buildings.
'The hotel has been transported to another world again? What about Ramiris and Beretta?'
"Hey, innkeeper, the food!"
"Ah, yes, excuse me." Nahida gave a smile and ran into the kitchen.
Beretta came down the stairs next and sat down at the table. Ramiris and Beretta chatted while Nahida did his best in the kitchen. He tried his best not to overdo the salt.
He also did his best not to burn anything.
He prepared a beef steak with rice and tomato salad. For the drink, he took from his refrigerator a box of industrialized juice. He had no fruits, so he could not prepare a natural juice.
After preparing everything, he served it only to Ramiris because he knew that Beretta would not eat it since it was only a dummy.
After Ramiris devoured her plate of food, guest satisfaction increased by 30 points.
'That's it!' Nahida celebrated internally.
