Synopsis:
One of Happy's favorite things is fish, and one day while looking at
the request board at the guild, he found the perfect job for him.
There was a 30,000 jewel reward to catch the extremely rare
HanezaCana winged fish, which is considered a delicacy. As a bonus,
the person who completes the assignment will get to eat the fish with
the client.
Happy
is overjoyed, but Lucy is convinced that the fish sounds nasty. Natsu
tells her not to come along then, and she says she was never planning
to, but in the end she does anyway, which Happy says is cute. Lucy
claims she only came to see flying fish, and has no interest in
eating them, but Natsu says the real problem is that they might eat
her. Indeed, a swarm of the fish do fly around Lucy, chewing on her
clothes and hair.
Natsu
says that you fish for the HanezaCana from a cliff face that they've
now arrived at, and Happy prepares to fish while Natsu cheers him on
and Lucy reads a book. After a short while however, Happy gives up
because none of the fish are biting. Lucy tries to encourage him, but
Happy takes it as being picked on and runs away crying.
By
the end of it all however, Happy is able to catch a large cage full
of fish, and they head to the client's house for the jewels and meal.
Lucy tries some after all, but thinks it tastes nasty. Happy
continues to eat his own, which Lucy takes to mean he's really
enjoying it, but Happy ends up spitting it all out and saying how
terrible it is, while Lucy freaks out that it's even terrible for a
cat.
Thoughts:
I know this is just a fun little side thing, but for the interest of
completion, I wanted to review and talk about these omake as well.
And sometimes there's fun little character tidbits in these, so why
not?
I
was glad to see the omake be a little more focused on Happy. He's a
cute little guy, but I'm often left wondering what his deal is in the
main story, so getting a nice little side story dedicated to him was
nice - though it still doesn't answer any of the questions I have
about him. As a cute little omake though, I loved this.
Lucy
has gone full fan-service mode in this special however, and instead of
wearing her normal outfit, she's wearing some type of sports bra like
top, and a mini-skirt with a jacket tied around her waist. So lots of
leg, mid-section, and even some side-boob as the fish pull on her
top.
Speaking
of those fish, I'm not entirely sure they were really nibbling on
her, or if that was all in her head after Natsu makes a comment about
that. He may have just been teasing her too, because they don't look
particularly bloodthirsty to me. They don't even have any teeth that
we can see. And in the next panel after that, we don't see any of
them leaving Lucy, they're all flying down in the canyon.
I
loved the gag with Happy giving up so quickly, only for Lucy to try
and cheer him up, and he takes it completely the wrong way somehow or
another. I think he's just like Natsu in that he likes to antagonize
her though.
I
had a feeling that Lucy's prediction of the fish tasting nasty was
going to turn out to be true, so Happy loses out on that one, but I
guess they still got the jewels? You know, assuming this story is
meant to be canon by any means.
As
a final note, I'm pretty sure 'jewels' is the name of the currency in
this story instead of it being actual jewels - unless that IS the
currency, or something - rather than it being something different or
anything, since it keeps popping up.
I
liked this omake quite a bit, so I'm hoping there's more of them in
my future as I keep reading along.
