Fairy Tail chapter 457 is the 43rd bathing scene in the Fairy Tail manga series.

Summary

Continuing from last chapter, Lucy Heartfilia has now joined Brandish's Bath in the Undermount Bathtub. Both of them are Leg Curling while Brandish who is also Arm Resting asks Lucy to wear a pair of cat ears which Lucy obeys so Brandish doesn't shrink the town and responds by saying that it looks cute. Brandish then gets out of the tub and asks Lucy to help wash her back. Brandish who is now sitting on a Bath Stool is getting her back washed by Lucy with a Wash Cloth and Soap. Lucy then attempts to stab Brandish while her guard is down with the broken key to Aquarius but Brandish then asks Lucy if she is Layla's daughter which makes her stop and question how she knows about her mother. Lucy then realizes her house is shrinking and quickly runs out of the Ofuro all the way outside while Brandish was still sitting soapy on the stool. Once Lucy makes it outside of the house that has now shrunken down small, she is still naked and wearing the cat ears while Brandish is there fully clothed and begins to fight Lucy just as Cana Alberona shows up and thinks Lucy was intentionally walking around naked with cat ears on just before she gets dressed when summoning Aries and gets the Aries dress on.

Trivia

• Besides a non-canonical omake chapter, this is Lucy Heartfilia's last canonical bathing scene within' in the main Fairy Tail manga series. This is not her final bathing scene in the franchise as she still got many more bathing scenes in the other various media such as the anime adaptation, various other spin-off manga, Hiro Mashima's twitter artworks and the sequel series Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest.
• This is the last bathing scene in the manga to take place in Lucy Heartfilia's Ofuro.
