DAYBREAK's Revelation

DAYBREAK's Revelation is an event during the Daybreak arc where the newly-formed Team Natsu return the book DAYBREAK to Kaby Melon, but also learn surprising secrets about the written piece.

Prologue
Natsu, Lucy, and Happy head to Shirotsume Town so that they can discuss their now-taken Job Request with the client, Kaby Melon, and after they are updated and informed they make haste for Everlue Mansion. Lucy attempts to infiltrate the property using her charms against the owner, but when it fails, the three barge in. They manage to successfully retrieve the book DAYBREAK but are confronted by Duke Everlue, the mansion owner, and his newly-hired guards, the Vanish Brothers. Team Natsu clashes with them and some of Everlue's maids, while Lucy secretly reads DAYBREAK for her own purposes, being victorious in the end.

Return to the Mansion
With the goal of the mission completed, the three Mages head back to Shirotsume Town. While walking there, Lucy tells her friends more about the plot of DAYBREAK and how its grammar and development was so awful, it couldn't be the work of Kemu Zaleon. She adds that she figured there was a secret inside.

At the mansion, she presents the book to Kaby. He is surprised that they still haven't destroyed and when Lucy says that he can do it, Kaby snatches it from her hands and angrily says that he'll burn it without taking another look. Lucy says she understands and reveals that he is Zaleon's son, surprising Natsu, Happy, and even Kaby with the fact that she knows. Kaby says he never read it but knows that it was terrible, something even his father admitted. Lucy understands why he wants to destroy the book knowing it's for Zaleon's pride.

Kaby then tells his past with the three Mages before proceeding to burn the book.

DEAR KABY
Suddenly, the book emits a glow and the letters spelling out the book's name, DAYBREAK, float up and rearrange themselves to spell out "DEAR KABY". The letters for Zaleon's name also rearrange to spell out his actual name, Zekua Melon. Lucy, who managed to figure out the secret while reading it in Everlue Manson, explains that Zekua cast a spell on the book to shuffle out all the letters and words. As the book begins to rearrange the contents, Lucy says that Zekua may have written the best book in existence.

Kaby bursts into tears and looks through the pages for a bit, eventually sobbing that he cannot destroy the book.

Aftermath
As a result, Natsu says that they don't deserve a reward for the Job because since destroying it is part of the requirements. Kaby and his wife are shocked, as well as Lucy who later yells at Natsu for turning down a 2 million reward while walking back to Fairy Tail with him and Happy. She sighs in disbelief that Kaby isn't actually as wealthy as he initially claimed. Lucy explains why and then starts to admire Zekua, unintentionally revealing that she is a writer to Natsu and Happy.

Meanwhile, Kaby reads his father's last novel in his real home, a cottage in a forest, with his wife. They laugh along as the story continues.
