To be honest... writing or holding things with my left hand can feel a bit awkward sometimes, and it always seems to draw attention, which makes me really shy. But viewing the world from this slightly different angle—it's something I'm slowly learning to appreciate.
A true warrior knows that discipline builds the sword, but a fine glass of bubbly fuels the soul. Let us savor this victory, one sparkling drop at a time.
They are like living monuments walking beneath Kilimanjaro—gentle, ancient, and holding centuries of quiet history in their eyes. I wonder what forgotten secrets they've watched crumble into the dust.
These ancient granite cliffs, patiently carved by the relentless tide... It’s a beautifully serene sanctuary, though one can't help but wonder what dark, forgotten secrets lie resting at the bottom of these cold, quiet waters.

Brightly colored facades reflecting on the water, yet beneath the surface lies centuries of quiet history... A peaceful sanctuary where ancient ships come to rest, whispering tales that time has long forgotten.
A solitary sentinel perched on the edge of the cliff, quietly keeping watch over the secrets hidden beneath these misty waters... There is a subtle, melancholic dignity in a light built to save souls from the ocean's depths.
Ichika leads, Nino is bold, Yotsuba is bright, and Itsuki is serious. I’m just... in the middle of it all. Not the oldest, not the youngest, just the one who watches them shine and tries to find her own path between their shadows.
A true masterpiece of confectionery—layers of delicate sponge and rich cream enrobed in vibrant raspberries, demanding the same fierce passion, precision, and absolute devotion as crossing blades on the battlefield.

Standing in the quiet stillness of this desert, among these twisted, ancient sentinels... one can’t help but wonder what forgotten stories are buried beneath the sand. It is a wonderfully silent place where time itself seems content to rest.
A crispy cracker, rich chocolate, and a freshly toasted marshmallow... It’s such a simple treat, but sharing this warm, gooey sweetness by the fire with Loid and Anya makes my heart melt.
To most people, words are just marks on paper. But to me? They’re real magic. A single book can carry you across worlds, whisper ancient secrets, or spark an adventure you’ll never forget. All you have to do is turn the page.
A breathtaking dialogue between ancient Kanak heritage and the sky... History isn't merely remembered here; it reaches upward, letting the echoes of the past whisper through the wood and the wind.
A silent sanctuary carved by wind and time... These ancient hoodoos guard secrets far older than humanity itself. Standing among them feels like reading a forgotten chapter of the earth's history—quiet, mysterious, and beautifully still.

A humble herb that restores quiet to the body without dulling the mind... fascinating. To ease pain and anxiety while leaving the intellect entirely sharp is a rare virtue in medicine. I wonder how a few more drops would feel?
A Tail of Friendship Through Magnolia
The late-summer afternoon had settled gently over Magnolia.
Sunlight poured between the rooftops, turning the cobblestone streets a warm shade of gold. Shopkeepers chatted beside open windows, children wandered home carrying sweets, and somewhere in the distance came the familiar noise of Fairy Tail—a suspicious mixture of cheering, shouting, breaking furniture, and someone yelling at Natsu.
For once, however, Lucy Heartfilia and Erza Scarlet had escaped the chaos.
And they had company.
Walking between them were Happy and Carla.
Happy practically bounced along the street.
Happy: “Aye! What a great day!”
Carla walked beside him with considerably more dignity.
Carla: “You said exactly the same thing five minutes ago.”
Happy: “Because it's still a great day!”
Lucy laughed.
Lucy: “I can't argue with that.”
Erza nodded.
Erza: “Peaceful weather, no mission, and no immediate threat to the city. This is indeed pleasant.”
Lucy gave her a sideways glance.
Lucy: “Erza, normal people don't evaluate a relaxing walk based on the absence of threats.”
Erza: “Why not?”
Lucy opened her mouth.
Then closed it.
Lucy: “…Never mind.”
Happy raised one paw.
Happy: “I evaluate walks based on fish!”
Carla sighed.
Carla: “Naturally.”
The First Follower
As the four continued down the street, Lucy suddenly heard something.
“Meow.”
She stopped.
Lucy: “Hmm?”
A small orange tabby sat beside a flowerpot.
The cat looked at Lucy.
Lucy looked at the cat.
The cat blinked.
Lucy smiled.
Lucy: “Hello there.”
She crouched carefully.
The orange cat approached and rubbed its cheek against her hand.
Lucy: “Awww!”
Happy immediately rushed over.
Happy: “A cat!”
Carla raised an eyebrow.
Carla: “Brilliant observation.”
Happy stared at her.
Happy: “Carla, you're a cat too.”
Carla: “An Exceed.”
Happy: “Still cute.”
Carla's eyes widened.
Carla: “H-Happy!”
Happy grinned.
Happy: “Aye!”
Lucy covered her mouth to hide a laugh.
Carla folded her arms.
Carla: “Hopeless.”
The orange tabby sniffed Happy.
Happy sniffed back.
Lucy: “Happy, what are you doing?”
Happy: “Cat communication.”
Lucy: “You're sniffing each other.”
Happy: “Exactly.”
Erza observed with complete seriousness.
Erza: “Perhaps this is an important greeting ritual.”
Lucy stared at her.
Lucy: “Please don't encourage him.”
They resumed walking.
The orange tabby followed.
Lucy noticed after about twenty steps.
Lucy: “Um… guys?”
Everyone stopped.
The orange cat stopped too.
Lucy took another step.
The cat followed.
She stopped.
The cat stopped.
Happy's eyes sparkled.
Happy: “We have a new party member!”
Carla: “We most certainly do not.”
Lucy crouched again.
Lucy: “You should probably go home, little one.”
The tabby responded:
“Meow.”
Lucy smiled helplessly.
Lucy: “That wasn't very informative.”
Happy translated confidently.
Happy: “He says he wants fish.”
Carla looked at him.
Carla: “You made that up.”
Happy: “How do you know?”
Carla: “Because according to you, every conversation eventually means ‘I want fish.’”
Happy paused.
Happy: “…Maybe everyone secretly wants fish.”
Then Came Another
They turned onto the next street.
A fluffy gray cat emerged from beneath a bench.
Then a black cat appeared beside a doorway.
Then a calico wandered from an alley.
Lucy counted.
Lucy: “One… two… three… four?”
Erza looked behind them.
Four ordinary cats were now following the group.
Erza: “Interesting.”
Lucy: “Why are they following us?”
Happy proudly placed his paws on his hips.
Happy: “Obviously because they recognize me.”
Carla stared at him.
Happy: “I'm famous.”
Carla: “For what?”
Happy: “Being Happy.”
Carla sighed.
Carla: “An achievement of unparalleled significance.”
Happy: “Thanks!”
Carla: “That wasn't—”
She stopped herself.
Carla: “…Never mind.”
Another cat appeared.
Then another.
And another.
Within minutes, the four companions had acquired a procession.
A Siamese walked elegantly near Erza.
Two kittens followed Lucy.
A black cat trotted beside Happy.
A fluffy white cat approached Carla.
Lucy looked over her shoulder.
Her eyes widened.
Lucy: “Erza.”
Erza: “Yes?”
Lucy: “We're being followed by an army.”
Erza turned.
Nearly a dozen cats filled the cobblestone street behind them.
Erza's expression became remarkably serious.
Erza: “Formation appears loose.”
Lucy stared at her.
Lucy: “That's your reaction?!”
Erza: “Their numbers are considerable, but coordination appears limited.”
Lucy: “They're cats!”
Erza: “Precisely.”
Lucy placed both hands over her face.
Lucy: “Sometimes I don't know why I even try.”
Happy Becomes a Commander
Happy climbed onto a low wooden crate.
He raised one paw dramatically.
Happy: “Cats of Magnolia!”
Carla immediately groaned.
Carla: “Oh no.”
Happy continued.
Happy: “Today, we march together!”
Several cats looked at him.
One began grooming itself.
Another yawned.
Happy: “Our mission…”
Happy dramatically pointed toward the sky.
Happy: “…FISH!”
Three cats meowed.
Happy gasped.
Happy: “They understand me!”
Carla stepped forward and pulled him off the crate.
Happy: “Hey!”
Carla: “You are not establishing a feline army.”
Happy: “But I'd be a great commander!”
Erza considered this.
Erza: “His motivational technique produced a response.”
Carla stared at her.
Carla: “Erza, please.”
Lucy burst out laughing.
Carla's Admirer
The fluffy white cat continued following Carla particularly closely.
Carla moved left.
The cat moved left.
She moved right.
The cat moved right.
Carla stopped.
The cat sat directly beside her.
Happy grinned.
Happy: “Carla has a fan!”
Carla: “Don't be ridiculous.”
The white cat rubbed affectionately against Carla.
Happy's grin widened.
Happy: “Definitely a fan.”
Carla looked down.
Her stern expression softened almost imperceptibly.
She gently patted the little cat's head.
Carla: “Well… I suppose you are rather well behaved.”
Happy gasped dramatically.
Happy: “Carla likes her!”
Carla immediately straightened.
Carla: “I said nothing of the sort.”
The white cat purred.
Carla looked down again.
Carla: “…Though she is quite charming.”
Happy clasped his paws together.
Happy: “Awwww!”
Carla: “Happy!”
Erza and the Black Cat
Meanwhile, a sleek black cat had seated itself directly in front of Erza.
Erza stopped.
The cat looked upward.
Erza looked downward.
Neither moved.
Lucy watched.
Lucy: “What's happening?”
Happy: “A staring contest.”
Carla: “It is not a staring contest.”
Five seconds passed.
Ten.
The black cat blinked.
Erza smiled.
Erza: “Victory.”
Lucy nearly stumbled.
Lucy: “YOU WERE ACTUALLY HAVING A STARING CONTEST?!”
Erza crouched and gently stroked the black cat between its ears.
Its eyes closed contentedly.
Lucy's expression softened.
Lucy: “You know, Erza…”
Erza: “Hmm?”
Lucy: “You look surprisingly natural with cats.”
Erza considered this.
Erza: “They are honest creatures.”
Lucy: “Honest?”
Erza nodded.
Erza: “If they trust you, they approach.”
She continued gently petting the cat.
Erza: “If they don't, they leave.”
Lucy smiled.
Lucy: “That's actually kind of beautiful.”
Erza looked toward her.
Erza: “Was that unexpected?”
Lucy panicked.
Lucy: “No! I didn't mean—”
Erza smiled faintly.
Erza: “I am teasing you.”
Lucy froze.
Lucy: “…You've been spending too much time around Natsu.”
A Street Full of Cats
Soon the situation became completely absurd.
Cats appeared from gardens, alleys, doorways, staircases and windowsills.
Orange cats.
Black cats.
White cats.
Gray cats.
Striped cats.
Long-haired cats.
Tiny kittens.
One enormously fluffy cat that Happy immediately declared “the boss.”
Lucy turned around.
More than twenty cats now followed them.
Lucy: “How did this happen?!”
Happy marched proudly at the front.
Happy: “Aye! Follow me!”
Carla: “Stop encouraging them!”
Happy: “Forward!”
Carla: “Happy!”
Erza walked calmly beside them.
Lucy: “Erza, aren't you concerned?”
Erza: “No.”
Lucy: “We're leading half the cats in Magnolia through town!”
Erza glanced behind them.
Erza: “They appear happy.”
Lucy looked.
She had to admit it.
They did.
Some cats trotted together.
Others chased one another.
A kitten repeatedly attacked its sibling's tail.
An elderly gray cat followed at a dignified distance.
Shopkeepers smiled as the strange parade passed.
Children waved.
Lucy began laughing.
Lucy: “Okay.”
She brushed her hair back.
Lucy: “This is actually pretty adorable.”
Four Different Kinds of Friendship
Eventually, they reached a quiet little square.
Lucy sat on the edge of a fountain.
Almost immediately, two kittens climbed beside her.
Lucy: “Oh!”
She gently stroked them.
Lucy: “You two really aren't shy, are you?”
Erza sat nearby, surrounded by three cats.
Happy lay on his back while several kittens climbed all over him.
Happy: “Aye! I'm popular!”
One kitten sat directly on his face.
Happy: “Mmph!”
Lucy laughed.
Lucy: “Very dignified, Happy.”
Carla sat elegantly on the fountain ledge while the fluffy white cat rested beside her.
Carla: “At least some of us understand proper behavior.”
The white cat suddenly climbed onto Carla's lap.
Carla froze.
Happy lifted the kitten from his face.
Happy: “Carlaaaa…”
Carla: “Don't.”
Happy: “You're smiling.”
Carla: “I am not.”
Lucy looked over.
Carla was definitely smiling.
Lucy: “You kind of are.”
Carla blushed.
Carla: “Lucy!”
Erza chuckled softly.
After a while, Lucy watched the cats playing around the fountain.
Her expression became thoughtful.
Lucy: “You know something?”
Erza looked toward her.
Erza: “What?”
Lucy: “Cats are funny.”
Happy immediately sat upright.
Happy: “Hey!”
Lucy laughed.
Lucy: “I mean ordinary cats.”
Happy: “Oh.”
Lucy continued.
Lucy: “Some want attention immediately.”
She scratched one kitten beneath its chin.
Lucy: “Some stay far away until they trust you.”
She looked toward the shy gray cat sitting several feet from Erza.
Lucy: “Some are noisy.”
Happy raised his paw.
Happy: “Aye!”
Carla: “She wasn't talking about you.”
Happy: “Still accurate.”
Lucy laughed.
Lucy: “And some act like they don't need anyone.”
Carla immediately became suspicious.
Carla: “Why did you look at me?”
Lucy: “No reason.”
Carla: “Lucy.”
Lucy: “Absolutely no reason!”
Erza looked thoughtfully at the cats.
Erza: “Perhaps that is why people cherish them.”
Lucy turned toward her.
Erza: “Affection cannot be demanded from them.”
The black cat beside Erza rested against her boot.
Erza: “Their trust must be earned.”
Lucy nodded.
Lucy: “And once they trust you…”
Happy finished:
Happy: “…they steal your fish!”
Everyone looked at him.
Happy: “What?”
Carla sighed.
Carla: “You were very close to understanding something profound.”
Lucy Remembers Fairy Tail
Lucy looked around at her friends.
Happy was happily surrounded by kittens.
Carla was pretending she wasn't enjoying the white cat sleeping against her.
Erza gently stroked the black cat.
Lucy smiled.
Lucy: “This reminds me of Fairy Tail.”
Erza raised an eyebrow.
Erza: “How?”
Lucy: “Think about it.”
She pointed toward the cats.
Lucy: “Everyone's completely different.”
Happy: “Aye.”
Lucy: “Some are loud.”
Happy: “Natsu!”
Lucy: “Some argue constantly.”
Carla: “Natsu and Gray.”
Lucy: “Some are intimidating.”
Everyone looked at Erza.
Silence.
Erza blinked.
Erza: “Why is everyone looking at me?”
Lucy laughed nervously.
Lucy: “No reason!”
Erza narrowed her eyes.
Lucy quickly continued.
Lucy: “But somehow, all those completely different personalities belong together.”
Erza's expression softened.
Lucy: “That's what makes Fairy Tail feel like home.”
Happy smiled.
Happy: “Aye!”
Carla nodded.
Carla: “I suppose that's true.”
Erza smiled warmly.
Erza: “A family does not require everyone to be alike.”
Lucy looked at her.
Erza: “Only that they choose to stand beside one another.”
Lucy smiled.
Lucy: “Exactly.”
Happy's Important Question
Happy suddenly became very serious.
Happy: “Lucy.”
Lucy: “What?”
Happy: “If we're talking about family…”
Lucy immediately became suspicious.
Happy: “…can we take all these cats home?”
Lucy stared at him.
Twenty pairs of feline eyes seemed to turn toward her.
Lucy: “WHAT?!”
Happy: “They need somewhere to live!”
Lucy: “Most of them probably already have homes!”
Happy: “But they like us!”
Lucy: “Happy, I can barely afford my rent!”
Happy pointed at the cats.
Happy: “They don't take up much room.”
Lucy looked at the enormous fluffy cat.
It stared back.
Lucy: “That one takes up half a sofa!”
Happy whispered:
Happy: “He's big-boned.”
Carla covered her face.
Erza looked thoughtfully at the cats.
Erza: “The guild hall has considerable space.”
Lucy whipped around.
Lucy: “ERZA, DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM!”
Happy's eyes sparkled.
Happy: “Cat guild!”
Lucy: “NO CAT GUILD!”
Their laughter echoed through the square.
Eventually, the sun began sinking toward the horizon.
One by one, the cats wandered away.
The orange tabby returned toward the street where they had first found him.
The calico disappeared through a garden gate.
The Siamese slipped gracefully into an alley.
The kittens scampered after their mother.
Even the enormous fluffy cat lumbered toward a nearby house.
Happy waved both paws.
Happy: “Bye-bye!”
Several cats meowed back.
Happy: “They said goodbye!”
Carla smiled.
Carla: “This time, perhaps they actually did.”
Only the little white cat remained beside Carla.
Carla crouched.
Carla: “You should go home too.”
The cat rubbed against her cheek.
Carla's expression softened.
Carla: “Take care of yourself.”
Happy watched quietly.
Then smiled.
Happy: “You're really kind, Carla.”
Carla looked toward him.
For once, she didn't argue.
Carla: “So are you, Happy.”
Happy froze.
His eyes widened enormously.
Happy: “Carla said I'm kind!”
Carla immediately stood.
Carla: “Do not make a spectacle of it.”
Happy: “She complimented me!”
Carla: “Happy!”
Happy: “Best day ever!”
As they began walking back toward the guild, Lucy looked over her shoulder.
A few cats remained sitting along the street, quietly watching them leave.
Lucy smiled.
Lucy: “Today turned out completely different from what I expected.”
Erza: “Those are often the days we remember best.”
Lucy: “Yeah.”
Happy flew gently beside them.
Happy: “Next time, I'm bringing fish.”
Carla sighed.
Carla: “Of course you are.”
Lucy laughed.
Lucy: “Maybe that's not such a bad idea.”
Happy gasped.
Happy: “Lucy agrees with me!”
Lucy: “I said maybe!”
Erza smiled.
Erza: “Then we should bring sufficient quantities.”
Lucy groaned.
Lucy: “Not you too!”
Their laughter followed them through Magnolia.
For Lucy, the afternoon was another reminder that friendship often appeared unexpectedly—a hand reaching out, a companion walking beside you, or even a tiny creature deciding that, for a few streets, your journey should become its journey too.
For Erza, the cats reflected something she valued deeply: trust freely given and loyalty that could never be forced.
For Carla, their quiet affection revealed that independence did not mean refusing companionship.
And for Happy?
Happy turned around one final time and waved enthusiastically at the departing cats.
Happy: “See you next time! I'll bring fish!”
A distant chorus answered:
“Meow!”
Happy's face lit up.
Happy: “AYE!”
Lucy burst into laughter.
Erza smiled.
Even Carla couldn't suppress a little giggle.
And beneath the golden Magnolia sky, two women and two Exceeds continued home together—four very different friends, bound not because they were alike, but because somewhere along countless adventures, arguments, victories, tears, and ridiculous afternoons, they had chosen one another.
Just as the cats had chosen to walk beside them that day.
