"Natsu! Come check out the snacks with me!" Lisanna tugged at Natsu's arm, about to dash toward the snack street on the left.
"Hey~ Natsu! Come look at the fish with me first!" Happy pulled Natsu from the right, trying to drag him toward the seafood market.
Natsu looked at their equally unyielding expressions. "Why don't you two play rock-paper-scissors? We'll listen to whoever wins!"

"Understood!" With that, the thin shadow ended the communication. "Now this is getting a little interesting, isn't it, Qing?"
"Yeah, but we can't let our guard down. That Fire Dragon isn't weak, Xie," the tall shadow said.
With that, the two of
