Imagine you could sample a meal in almost every country around the world, well that is what the Hungry Traveller has done. Spanning a whopping fifteen-years, his travel writing has involved diary entries of his many trips worldwide with the recipes of what he has eaten at the end of each chapter. His first day has him in Ho Chih Min City, Vietnam trying to locate a decent priced hotel room. His journeys go from normal to exotic, yet our Hungry Traveller goes through near sheer hell to find the best cuisine in such places as Singapore, Vietnam and Cambodia as well as other far away places.

Back in the previous season the battle for the land of Fairy Tail had ended with a Fantasia Parade giving us all a happy ending at least. There were many downsides, though, Laxus was sent from the Guild to everyone's surprise and Lucy keeps having bad luck with the men she chooses. Now, after the end of the harvest festival, everything looks like it is back to normal except for one thing, no one saw Laxus  being sent away. No one expected it to happen at all. The hardest hit by this was Natsu who demanded to know why from Gramps.
