Fairy Tail: I Can Analyze Everything Chapter 12 12: I Don't Eat Fish

Clover Canyon, ford by countless faults from an earthquake in ancient tis, is known as nature's labyrinth.

Countless people have been lost here, never to find their way out again.

And today, the canyon welcod guests once more: a group of lost travelers and... a cat.

"So boring..."

Happy flew back and forth around the group, eventually floating listlessly onto Natsu's head and complaining in a low voice.

"If it weren't for you, how could we have gotten lost?!"

Lucy imdiately retorted upon hearing him.

"Now we're stuck in the canyon, you directionless cat!"

"That's a very rude thing to say," Happy countered with dissatisfaction. "I've never been lost before; this is the first ti!"

Deep in the winding canyon, the monotonous scenery coupled with the blazing sun overhead always brought a touch of irritability to one's heart.

Ron wore a faint smile and moved his fingers slightly. A cool breeze gently blew past, instantly whisking away the sweltering heat.

"Even though we're lost, treating it as part of the journey is actually quite nice."

Ron said leisurely. Being with this group of people, he didn't really care whether they were lost or not.

Feeling the refreshing breeze flowing over her, Lucy turned back curiously.

"Ron, what exactly is your magic? Ice, water, lightning, fire, and now wind..."

She counted them off one by one on her fingers.

"From what I've seen, there are already five types of elental magic!"

"Ron's magic is amazing! As long as it's magic he's seen before, he can cast it!" Happy flew over to Lucy's side, rushing to explain.

"Exactly, exactly!" Natsu also nodded in agreent. "Even my magic, Ron can copy it!"

Lucy's eyes widened at the words. "He can even copy Dragon Slayer Magic?!!!"

Ron casually kicked away a pebble and shook his head with a chuckle.

"Not all magic. At least when facing Holder-type Magic like your Celestial Spirit Magic, Lucy, it's a bit troubleso."

He could analyze and copy the essence of magic, but for magic that required a dium or a contract to cast, although he could analyze it, he couldn't cast it directly.

Unless... he had a contract partner or could create the corresponding dium.

Lucy nodded thoughtfully, her eyes still full of admiration.

"This is..."

While they were talking, Happy suddenly scread in excitent, "The legendary delicacy, Flying Fish!!!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a school of fish with yellow heads, wings, and blue bodies fluttering their wings in the air below the canyon, looking just as if they were swimming in water.

"A legendary delicacy?!"

Natsu's mouth imdiately hung open, and he was almost drooling. "That sounds like it would be delicious!"

Because of Ron's presence, the others hadn't gone hungry like in the original plot, so they weren't overly excited.

'This doesn't look like it would taste good...'

While doubting it in her heart, Lucy asked hesitantly, "Does this... really taste good?"

'Of course... it tastes terrible!'

Ron curled his lips inwardly; he knew exactly how bad these things tasted.

But Happy emphasized with a serious and earnest expression.

"It's delicious! It's a legendary delicacy! Let's have a fishing competition..."

Happy proposed, clenching his small paw into a fist with a determined face.

"I want to eat Flying Fish!!!"

Hearing about a competition, Erza and Natsu instantly ignited their fighting spirit, and even Gray and the Gramps were pulled into it.

Ron shook his head with a helpless smile and had no choice but to participate in this sudden competition.

The six people and one cat sat on the edge of the cliff. After waiting for a long ti, they finally managed to catch one.

"There's only one, how do we split it?"

Happy stared intently at the fish, his eyes full of longing, no longer caring about the results of the fishing competition.

"There's enough, there's enough for everyone..."

Ron moved like an arrow from a bow, flying directly into the school of fish below, and caught five fish in the blink of an eye.

"Since it's a delicacy, everyone should have a taste. Co, co, one for each person, don't be shy! Natsu!"

"Hmm? Ron, aren't you eating?"

Looking at the six fish Natsu had grilled, Happy asked in confusion.

"No, no, I don't eat fish..."

"You guys enjoy it for !"

Ron repeatedly waved his hand in refusal, his expression looking so 'regretful'.

However, the way he was forcing his mouth shut looked like he was holding back a laugh no matter how you looked at it.

"What a pity, Ron, you're missing out on a delicacy!"

Happy shook his head in regret, and after speaking, he couldn't wait to take a bite.

Seeing this, the others followed suit and took a bite.

Lucy looked at Ron, then at the fish in her hand, feeling that sothing was wrong.

But seeing that no one else reacted strangely after eating, she tentatively took a small bite.

"Ugh..."

Her face instantly turned green, and she spat out the fish in her mouth. "This is terrible!!!"

Everyone else imdiately spat out the fish as well, their expressions distorted.

"It's disgusting!!!" x4

"Hmm, the taste is indeed not good!" Erza's expression remained calm.

"Why did you wait until I ate it to show it!"

Lucy puffed out her cheeks at everyone, venting her frustration alone.

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha—!!!"

Seeing this scene, Ron finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He bent over clutching his stomach, laughing until he was out of breath, with tears almost flying out of his eyes.

"Ron, you knew it was disgusting, didn't you? No wonder you didn't eat it!"

Happy's small face slumped, and he imdiately pointed at Ron in condemnation.

Seeing Erza and the others looking at him with ill intent and cracking their knuckles, Ron imdiately stopped laughing and raised his hands in surrender. "Just a joke, just a joke..."

Happy didn't care; he just stared at Ron reproachfully before suddenly turning and running away in tears.

"Ron is so an!!!"

"Alright, alright!"

Ron hurried forward to comfort him, crouching in front of Happy and stroking his fluffy little head with a gentle tone.

"How about I treat you to your favorite fish?"

As he spoke, Ron took a fish out of his extra dinsion with his other hand, and flas surged in his palm.

After it was grilled, he handed it to Happy. The aroma was more than a hundred tis stronger than that of the Flying Fish.

Happy's nose twitched, his tears stopped instantly, and he gave a soft hmph.

"This ti... I'll forgive you!"
