Chapter 174: Revelation
[Text:]
Happy Shiritori!!
The rules are simple!! Starting from Happy's catchphrase, "Aye!", think of fish names that start with the last letter of the previous word!! You can't use the same name twice!!

Aye! => eel => lungfish => herring => great white shark => koi carp => piranha => Aye!!

* This is against the rules, so he loses (lol)

[Side text: These "Edo-characters" are pretty reliable allies!! This time, it's off to the Capital with the help of "EdoNatsu"!!!]
Lucy: Natsu...?! / This world's... version of Natsu?!
EdoNatsu: Lucy wasn't kidding... you really do look just like her.
Natsu: U... / Unghh...
EdoNatsu: And... that's your version of me, is it? Can't say I'm impressed...
Wendy: Our Natsu-san is hopeless when it comes to vehicles, you see.
EdoNatsu: And he calls himself "me"? In this world, I'm a delivery-specialist mage. They call me the "Fireball".
Natsu: Urghh...

3
Happy: Come to think of it, this magical vehicle doesn't seem to have an SE Plug...
Wendy: An "SE Plug"?
Charle: It stands for "Self-Energy Plug". It's a device used to convert the driver's magical energy into fuel.
Lucy: Of course... in this world, people don't have their own magical power, so they wouldn't have SE Plugs. // Then... this thing is running on pure magic?!
Charle: Amazing... when it comes to vehicles, this world's technology is far beyond Earthland's...
People: Aghh! // Aahh!
Lucy: Hey! Why the sudden stop?!
EdoNatsu: I wouldn't say we're so advanced. // Since magic here is in limited supply, the same thing goes for the fuel these vehicles use. // It's not easy to get your hands on the stuff these days.

4
EdoNatsu: That's why this is as far as I can take you. // Get out.
Lucy: Wha...?!
Wendy: No way...
EdoNatsu: If I take you any further, I won't be able to get back to the Guild. / [aside]I sure wish they'd stop moving the damn thing around...[/aside]
Natsu: Whewww~~~~!! Much better~~!!
EdoNatsu: Looks like the other "me" gets the deal.

5
EdoNatsu: Now hurry up and get out!
People: Aahh!! // Ughh!
EdoNatsu: You're free to pick a fight with the Kingdom if that's what you wanna do... / But don't go dragging us into it, you hear? // I helped you out this one time because it was a request from Lucy - not you, the Lucy I know. I couldn't exactly turn her down. // But I'm not looking to get mixed up in this crap. / As long as I have my wheels, that's good enough for me.
Natsu: Oi.
EdoNatsu: !
Natsu: You get out here too!!
EdoNatsu: Hey - ! Why, you - what the hell do you think you're -
Natsu: There's something I've gotta ask you, Natsu to Natsu.
EdoNatsu: Qu... Quit it!! Get off me!!! // Stop dragging me ou -
Natsu: Just tell me...

6
Natsu: How can you handle vehicles so well?!
Lucy: That's all you wanted?!!!!
EdoNatsu: Aaa... // ahhh...
Charle/Happy: ?
EdoNatsu: I... I'm so sorry... // I have no idea either...!

[Side text: Mashima's Ramblings (1): A friend gave me a keyring that makes "Metal Gear" sound effects. The "It's not FoxDie" line is great!]
Natsu: Huh? // A... Are you really the same guy from just now?
EdoNatsu: Y... Yes... People do always tell me my personality changes when I get in a vehicle...
Happy: This is the real EdoNatsu~~?!
Natsu: Aahhhh...! Please don't yell like that!!! // I... I'm scared...!
Lucy: Feel like doing a mirror sketch?

8
[Side text: Mashima's Ramblings (2): I've drawn a one-shot for the April issue of Bessatsu Shonen Magazine. I think it turned out pretty cool.]
EdoNatsu: I'm sorry!! I'm so sorry!! / B... But I just can't do it!! / I only came this far because Lucy asked me to specially...
Wendy: No, no... you don't have to push yourself or anything!
Charle: I hardly think he would be much use, either way.
Wendy: Charle!
EdoNatsu: Oh, are you... Wendy-san? / Wow... you're so little and cute! // And you're the Earthland me-san.
Natsu: ...You can't put a "-san" there. That's just weird.
Happy: My name's Happy! And this is Charle!
Lucy: And... well, I suppose you already know, but I'm...
EdoNatsu: Aaahhhhh!!! I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! I'll do whatever you say!!!
Lucy: .........
Natsu: You could be a little nicer to poor old "me", you know...
EdoNatsu: The Lucy-san from this world.........

9
EdoNatsu: ...said that all I had to do was take you this far... / ...So I...
Everyone: !!!
Lucy: Is this...... // ...the Capital?!
Wendy: It's huge...!
Natsu: What, we're here already?! You could've just said so!
EdoNatsu: Aaaaahhh...! I'm sorry...!

10
Natsu: All right!!! I didn't think we'd get here this quickly!!
Lucy: The Lachryma containing all our friends is somewhere down there...
Charle: Well, let's get going, then.
Wendy: Wait up, Charle~!
Natsu: See you, then! Thanks for everything!
Lucy: Tell the other me thanks from us!
EdoNatsu: U... Um...! // Are you... really going to... // ...fight... the Kingdom...?
Natsu: Well, who knows? / All we're really trying to do is save our friends. // But if these Kingdom guys don't want to hand them over, well... we won't have much choice, will we?

11
EdoNatsu: I... It's just not possible... / You can't beat the Royal Army...
[Box: The Capital, Castle Town]

12
Lucy: What is all this...?
Wendy: It's not much like I expected... I mean, since it's the capital of a tyrannical Kingdom... // ...I was expecting more of a rundown atmosphere...
Natsu: We didn't even have any trouble getting in...
Lucy: It's completely different from Luen and Shikka... / Almost like an amusement park...
Charle: It's a terrible waste of magic. // All the magic that has been stolen from this world's countries and Guilds has been gathered here in the Capital.

13
Charle: The King has created this city of pleasure in order to gain popularity amongst the citizens.
Lucy: Can't say I like the sound of him.
Wendy: ! // There's a huge commotion coming from over there...
Lucy: Are they holding some kind of parade?
Natsu: Let's go and check it out!
Happy: Aye, sir!
Charle: Oh, for the... we are not here to enjoy ourselves!
Natsu: What's going on here~?
Lucy: Hold it, would you, Natsu~?!
Happy: Ughh! So many people!
Lucy: Oww...! // Hey... don't just stop suddenly like - // !

14-15
[no text just lachryma]

16
Wendy: The Lachryma...
Lucy: Don't tell me... this is...
Happy: The people of Magnolia...
Charle: And it looks like part of it has been removed already.
Lucy: Huh? This isn't all of it?!

17
Crowds: It's His Majesty!!! // Long live the King!!!
Faust: Children of Edolas! // Through the power of the Anima... // ...the Holy Kingdom of Edolas has produced enough magic to last ten years!
Happy: "Produced"?! / Stolen from our world, he means!
Faust: Let us sing and laugh as one... we must celebrate this happy day!

18
Faust: All people of Edolas have the right to share in this magical power! // And the people of Edolas alone shall be a holy race, forging a glorious future!!! // Nobody will be able to steal this magical power from our proud nation!!!! // And I promise you now, I will provide you with still greater supplies of magic than this!!!! // Supplies that will make this tiny amount look like mere trash by comparison!!!!

19
Crowds: E-DO-LAS!!! / E-DO-LAS! // E-DO-LAS! // E-DO-LAS!! // E-DO-LAS! // E-DO-LAS!
Lucy: Natsu... control yourself...!
Natsu: I can't!! // That's... that Lachryma is...!
Lucy: Please...

20
Lucy: All of us know exactly how you feel...! // Okay...?
Natsu: (I can't forgive him... // He's trampling... // ...on people's hearts... // ...on people's lives!!!)
