Fairy Tail: I Don’t Want to Be the President

Chapter 20 Is there any pet that can’t do housework?

"Ah...another busy day." Rhodes returned home and simply took a cold shower.

Fortunately, it's summer now, and my body feels a little stronger since I gained the magic power, otherwise I might not have gotten used to it so quickly.

I don’t take a hot bath because there is no solar energy equipment and it is too troublesome to use firewood to boil water.

Rhodes had thought about buying a device that used magic power to boil water, but after asking about the price, he decided to endure it until he couldn't bear it anymore in the winter.

After helping Worm take a bath, Rhodes began to miss the washing machine in the school that can be used once with two steel drums.

Washing clothes by hand is really slow and troublesome, and I don’t have a mobile phone to watch videos on while washing clothes.

At best, the music could only be played with an old-fashioned hand-cranked gramophone.

He was not used to it at first, but after listening to it, Rhodes suddenly felt that he was very stylish, just like those high-class characters in the movies of the Republic of China.

It's just that the songs recorded in this record are a bit mixed, including pop, rock, classical and everything.

Swish, swish, swish…

The washboard was leaning against the basin, and Rod grabbed the wet clothes and rubbed them on it, leaving white foam.

He wasn't very proficient in using this thing, but when he rubbed it to the rhythm of the music, he felt that the sound was quite relaxing.

Worm stared at the bag of washing powder curiously, and finally couldn't help but lick it with his big tongue for a long time.

Then its facial features became distorted, and white powder spit out.

"Are you stupid?" Rhodes knocked Worm on the head, threw him into the sink, "Rinse your own mouth."

After hanging the washed clothes on the balcony, Rhodes noticed several pots of green plants on the balcony.

One pot looks like a succulent, and the other two pots look like orchids. Because no one has watered it in the past two days, the soil on the surface is dry.

"It seems like there are a few more lives that I need to be responsible for...probably."

Rhodes picked up the watering can next to him and filled some water to give these poor plants some rain.

The shower head sprayed out strings of water droplets, moistening the leaves and soaking the soil.

Rhodes seemed to be able to feel them coming to life and said amusedly:

"From now on, your name will be Tatsuya, your name will be Ren Ming, your name will be...well, in another world, your father will have to take care of you three."

Worm looked at his master's expression and felt that he was not smiling happily.

"Why are you showing that expression?" Rhodes put down the watering can and mentioned Worm, "Go and wipe the floor you just soiled!"

Worm looked at him in shock. Didn't he say he treated me like a pet, but he actually asked me to clean the floor?

"Don't look at me like that. How can a pet not know how to do housework?" Rhodes threw Worm into the laundry room, "You are responsible for cleaning up the mess you made."

Worm squatted on the ground and looked at his little paws. How should he wipe them?

How Worm is going to clean the floor is not a problem that Rhodes has to consider. Anyway, the little guy can understand human speech and is quite intelligent. There will always be a way.

Rhodes gets angry when he thinks of this. Why should Worm, a creature from the Howling Abyss, understand the language as soon as he arrives and learn it himself?

How come the language packs given by Mr. Shipicki can still be shared?

Rhodes sat at the desk in his bedroom angrily and opened the book he brought back from the guild.

This is a history book. Although he is not interested in history, he always feels the need to understand it.

And in order for him to read well, Rebby lent him a pair of glasses.

The magic prop, Feng Yong's glasses, can make people read books 32 times faster at the fastest.

In other words, as long as you concentrate on reading for one minute, it is equivalent to reading for half an hour!

Rhodes felt that his blessing had arrived. No matter how much he didn't like reading history books, he could still do it by reading for a few minutes, right?

But a minute later...

Snap!

The sound of the book spine hitting the table woke up the sleepy Rhodes.

He misjudged one thing. Although the time for reading was shortened, there was still the same amount of content to read.

If you are not interested, you are not interested. People who get sleepy when reading history books will not become academic masters even if they have magic props to assist them.

For people like Rhodes, it would be appropriate for him to ask Shipicki to use magic to directly instill knowledge.

Or listen to beautiful girls like Lebby telling historical stories. For example, today's story about the legendary hunter by Bel Barrasso and the story about the hero by Ruben Kaludo left a deep impression on him.

"First do fifty push-ups to wake up."

Rhodes lay on the ground and did thirty push-ups in one breath, and then his arms began to tremble.

'If you want to increase your magic power as soon as possible, in addition to meditating, you should also exercise a little bit, otherwise... you will suffer. ’

This is what the president told Rhodes.

However, Rhodes always felt that when the president said he would suffer a loss, he did not mean going out to fight, but that he would suffer a loss if he fought in the guild.

Although he doesn't like fighting, looking at the situation in the past few days, there is no guarantee that he will be affected one day.

Thinking about how powerful all the girls in the guild were, I couldn't imagine how heavy Nazgre's fists were.

Rhodes gritted his teeth: "To increase the magic power!"

one.

"In order not to get beaten!"

Another one.

"In order to be beaten back!"

Another one.

The reason for Rhodes' efforts became more and more strange.

Exercise to improve physical fitness, meditation to improve magic power, and reading to increase cognition are the three most important things for Rhodes at this stage.

The biggest difficulty is reading. Books related to magic are fine, but books on history and geography are really troublesome.

Rhodes decided to ask if there were any newspapers and magazines here tomorrow to learn a little bit about the news.

…

The next day, the weather was a little cloudy, but there was no sun in sight and it didn't look like it was going to rain.

Rhodes chose a cool way to go to work, riding a canyon swift crab.

The huge dark green crab attracted the attention of neighbors as soon as it appeared, and many people were startled by its strange appearance.

But when it started running with Rod on its back and actively avoiding pedestrians, the slightest bit of panic disappeared.

"It turns out to be a mount. It looks a little weird but it's quite majestic."

"Hey, is that a crab? Why doesn't it walk sideways?"

"The one on the crab's back looks like the wizard from Fairy Tail."

"Is he new? He seems to be a restless guy."

Someone with sharp eyes saw the blue coat of arms on Rhodes' arm when his short sleeves were blown by the wind.

Someone is riding a monster and running wildly on the street. It's so novel.

It's Fairy Tail, so that's no surprise.

The crest on Rhodes' arm was providing him with 'convenience' in a strange way, but he didn't know it.

Rhodes held the two tentacles of the Swift Crab with both hands, feeling like he was driving a heavy motorcycle.

I only heard a gust of wind and stopped at the entrance of the guild—less than a kilometer away, it was still too close.

Rod straightened his hair that was blown by the wind, and secretly thought that it was a good thing it was on autopilot, otherwise it might have knocked several people away.

The "River Crab" locomotive feels unsafe when running at full speed.
