==Summary==
Having arrived at Ermina Town, Team Natsu finds themselves at Hotel Journey where they meet find a fish flopping about. To the group's bewilderment and Happy's dismay, the fish assumes a human form and is revealed to be the manager and receptionist, Kashima. Before departing for a date, Kashima instructs the Fairy Tail mages to drink the beverages in their rooms, warning that if they fail to do so then they will not survive their stay.
At night, Gray awakens in his room to find the entire hotel submerged underwater; however, he and his teammates are informed by Kashima that the town sinks on a daily basis at high tide, and the potion they drank grants humans the ability to breathe underwater, as well as enhance their swimming skills. Team Natsu indulge themselves in leisure, admiring the fish that had inhabited the area while Erza competes with a shark named Sharkina. However, their entertainment is cut short when Gray attempts to question Mercphobia's whereabouts, at which point the fish become aggressive and proclaim their loyalty towards their Water God. Wishing to avoid a confrontation, the group retreats as the townsfolk give chase.
In Magnolia, Touka reveals herself to be a Water Magic user, similarly to Juvia, a fact which mutually disgusts the two. Meanwhile, Gajeel and Juvia continue their investigation of the newest Fairy Tail Mage, and in the process take notice of a striped tail under Touka's dress. However, the latter seemingly does not notice as the tail suddenly disappears, and continues to converse with other Fairy Tail members. Lily also bears witness to this revelation, but Levy still remains unconvinced. Meanwhile, in the Sabertooth guild, their newest member, Sorano, boisterously compliments her sister Yukino as a visiting Jellal is greeted by Sting and Rogue. Upon being inquired of his business there, Jellal informs them that he is searching for someone, which prompts other members to offer their assistance. Jellal reveals that his target is Touka, requesting the Sabertooth Mages to alert him immediately should they find her, before strictly warning them to avoid contact with her.
Still on the run in Ermina, Team Natsu hides in an empty alleyway, expressing shock at the townsfolk's sudden change in attitude. Despite Natsu's determination to defeat Mercphobia and his followers, Lucy admits that the fishes did not seem evil, pointing out more peaceful alternatives to "sealing" the five dragons. After convincing the others not to attack as a first resort method, Lucy uses Gemini's power to transform them into fishes, excluding Wendy, who is turned into a jellyfish due to Lucy running out on Magic power. The group heads out to investigate, where Gray is confronted by Kashima, completely oblivious to the former's appearance. Gray asks about the humans from the previous day, who had been investigating Mercphobia's whereabouts, to which Kashima responds that they will serve the one they captured as a sacrifice to the Water God. Simultaneously, Natsu picks up a human scent, which leads him, Lucy, and Happy to discover a woman chained to the bars of a cell.
Studying the fishes' captive, they ponder over the mysterious guild mark on her shoulder. Suddenly, the woman begins to talk, quickly identifying the trio as humans and cautioning them to stay back. At that point, the Water Dragon descends upon them, prompting the woman to break her bonds and slice open the cage. As she and the sea serpent engage in battle, the Fairy Tail mages realize that she had allowed herself to be captured in order to confront the Water Dragon. The woman easily defeats the serpent with a dragon slayer technique, before proceeding to consume its remains. However, she quickly discovers that her opponent had not been the true Water Dragon, disappointed at having been fooled.
Turning to the trio, the woman requests that they entertain her before attacking Natsu, now back to normal. She recognizes his scent as that of a dragon slayer's, explaining that she is categorized in the fifth generation, those who devoured dragons in order to take their powers, a Dragon Eater. Introducing herself as Kiria, she reveals the existence of Diabolos, a guild solely comprised of these fifth generation dragon slayers. As they express shock at the discovery of Diabolos's existence, Kiria inquires of their intention to confront the Water Dragon God. Annoyed by Natsu's response, the dragon eater attacks unceremoniously. Natsu tries to attack, but is unable to take action due to his fire being neutralized underwater. This prompts Lucy to engage Kiria in combat, only for her opponent to shred her Star Dress.
Just as the Kiria is about to attack, she is incapacitated by Gray. Kashima expresses his shock at the ice wizard's deception. The fish also reveals that opponent Kiria had previously battled was actually the messenger of the Water Dragon God. The Blade Dragon Eater suggesting that the Water God may come to confront her for her actions and breaks out of her icy prison. Erza, accompanied by Wendy and Carla, attempts to strike Kiria from above; however, she is intercepted by Madmole, Kiria's guildmate, who utilizes his Armor Dragon Slayer Magic to shield himself from Erza's attack. Despite her guildmate's request to return to the guild, she refuses in favor of awaiting Mercphobia. Moments later, the Water Dragon descends, splitting the ocean while expressing annoyance at the ruckus, as Natsu takes notice of the former's human appearance.

==Manga & Anime Differences==
*The anime shows an image of the type of drink Natsu had in mind when he picks up Kashima.
*An image of Gray and Erza looking on in concern during Kashima's warning is cut from the anime.
*The floor tiles of the hotel are arranged diagonally in the anime instead of orthogonally as in the manga; the mat is also designed slightly differently in the anime.
*The anime skips to showing the potion bottle after Lucy and Gray comment on Kashima's oddness, cutting out dialogues from the manga.
*Lucy's questioning of whether they are really expected to drink (what they think is) poison after first seeing the bottle is cut from the anime.
*The hotel room's furniture uses less intricate designs compared to the manga.
*Gray's initial comments after opening to window to a submerged Ermina, his surprised comment at seeing Kashima again, as well as the exchange of the surprise factor from not telling visitors of the residents' nature upfront, are all cut from the anime.
*In the anime, Natsu's trunks only have a flame pattern on the left leg instead of both legs; the pattern also has a yellow outline.
*Throughout various points in the episode, Carla's guild mark is shown to be pink and on her right shoulder when it is blue and on her back. This anime-exclusive quirk is likely an error.
*Lucy's description of a familiar fairy tale includes a silhouette of a boy holding a fishing rod while riding a turtle in the anime.
*Lucy lamenting the loss of her bikini top while retreating is cut from the anime.
*When the scene switches to Magnolia, Lisanna is wearing a different outfit and Elfman is seen in his X784 appearance in the anime. The latter is likely a continuity error.
*The anime adds title cards for the members of Sabertooth and Jellal.
*Sorano's guild mark is shown on her left waist in the anime, correcting a mistake from the manga.
*The meeting with Jellal at the Sabertooth guild hall has unnamed members present in the manga.
*Touka's photo does not have a border in the anime.
*In the anime, Lucy's vow for revenge against the perverted fish is accompanied by an image of said fish, and her interpretation of "sealing" involves an image of a dragon being encased in chains.
*After Lucy apologizes to Wendy for running out of magic during the transformation process, Wendy simply despairs in the anime rather than wonder if her becoming a jellyfish is related to attacking multiple jellyfish earlier.
*Kiria's magic uses magic blades every attack in the anime instead of her bare hands for her initial attacks.
*In the anime, Natsu, Happy, and Lucy questioning the information Kiria gave them about herself and her guild are omitted; the scene skips to Kiria asking of them and their objectives.
*The anime shows no blood when Natsu is hit by Kiria's attack after giving her an ambiguous answer, while the manga shows some blood shooting out from him.
*When Lucy is attacked by Kiria and she notices something off, the anime zooms in to her face, hiding the initial damage her dress took that is shown in the manga. In the next scene where she tries to cover herself, Lucy's panties can be seen in the anime whereas in the manga, it is implied those were cut off as well.
*Kiria licking her lips after commenting that Lucy also looks delicious is cut from the anime.
*Lucy's bracelets in her modified Virgo outfit are white in the anime instead of a dark color like in the manga.
*Kiria's face is shadowed over in the manga when she breaks free from Gray's ice.

*In the anime, while Mercphobia is descending, a bright light shines from him until just before he disperses the water encapsulating him.
