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

Chapter 28 It’s a rainy day, it’s time for emo

A new day arrived, and Rhodes woke up to the sound of dripping rain. As soon as he got out of bed, he felt his legs were sore.

Yesterday, maybe because of stimulation, or maybe because he quietly made up his mind, Rhode gritted his teeth and ran to the ground, unable to get up.

Even when I went home, I specially summoned the Canyon Swift Crab, and let it use its tentacles to roll it up on its back and carry it back.

Before going to bed at night, Rhodes used a wet towel to apply a cold compress for a while, and also found some anti-swelling medicine from a large box of medicines sent by Erza.

Looking back now, I was lucky to have had the foresight.

Rhodes dragged his sore legs to the bathroom to solve his personal problems and wash up. After coming out, he decided to use some more medicine.

"It's broken, I forgot to collect the clothes!"

Rhodes went to the balcony to check. Sure enough, it rained a lot last night and all his clothes were soaked by the rain.

He had no choice but to put them away first and soak them in a basin with the sweaty clothes he took off yesterday.

After struggling for a while staring at the basin, Rhodes reluctantly sat down to wash the clothes.

There was no other way. Apart from these two sets and pajamas, he only had one set in the closet. Every time he opened the closet, he felt it was empty.

If something unexpected happens again, Rhodes will soon face the dilemma of having no clothes to wear.

"When you have enough money, prepare two more."

Rhodes washed and wrung out the clothes and hung them temporarily in the laundry room.

He thought for a second about the possibility of taking it to the guild to have Natsu dry it, and then decisively gave up - the risk was too great and he couldn't afford to gamble.

After a while of fussing, Rhodes packed up and went downstairs to go to the guild.

But instead of showing signs of abating, the rain is getting worse. Even Goodman didn't come to the stall today.

Opening the door, Rod realized a new problem—he hadn't bought an umbrella yet.

"It's so hard for me..." Rhodes made a poor voice.

"Hululu~"

At the critical moment, Worm took out an umbrella from the corner of the first floor.

"Well done!" Rhodes praised, summoned the river crab, and jumped on it with an umbrella to head to the guild.

Before leaving, he did not forget to leave a note to Goodman saying that he had borrowed an umbrella without permission.

The Canyon Swift Crab walked slowly on the street in accordance with Rhodes' instructions. Not only did it not hate getting wet in the rain, but it also found this environment more comfortable.

Rhodes sat cross-legged on the highest point of the swift crab's back shell, tilting the umbrella in the direction of the raindrops.

The streets of Magnolia became much deserted in the rain. The usual morning hawking sounds were almost gone, and only a few pedestrians passed by.

They either held umbrellas, or wore raincoats and rain boots, and walked hurriedly through the water.

Rhodes had seen many scenes like this before traveling, but... he looked down at himself and felt that he was out of place here.

Yes, he is originally an alien who does not belong to this world.

Just such a little pretentiousness completely disappeared when he arrived at the entrance of the guild.

Because at this moment, Lucky walked slowly from the northwest intersection holding a wooden umbrella and a pair of wooden boots, carrying a wooden box in the other hand.

Her long purple hair swayed gently, looking very friendly in the rain.

On the other side, Gray also came from the other side holding a large, exquisite and gorgeous ice crystal umbrella.

The rainwater flowed down the umbrella cover, neither freezing nor melting the ice umbrella. It just added a bead curtain-like decoration to the ice umbrella.

Noticing Rhodes and Lucky, Gray raised his hand casually: "Yo!"

Lucky responded energetically: "Good morning!" "Good morning!" The swift crab disappeared, and Rhodes kept his feet on the ground, looking at his two companions who were as 'weird' as him, and couldn't help but smile.

Is this also the meaning of the guild’s existence?

The three of them walked into the guild door. Lucky looked at the floor at the door: "I feel like I have to mop the floor non-stop today."

Rhodes thought about what to do in places such as canteens and supermarkets on rainy days, and suggested: "How about laying a few more cardboards at the door?"

"Good idea, let's do it like this, but..." Lucky chose to activate magic, "The shape of wood·pure love is spotless!"

Swish, swish, swish... Pieces of thin wooden boards appeared both inside and outside the guild gate, and the upward side was specially made to be quite rough.

"Shape magic is so convenient." Rhodes sighed again, and also wanted to complain about what a bad name it was.

It's not enough to call the soles of your feet spotless.

There wasn't much going on in the morning. Rhodes was busy for a while and then he found Gray.

"Natsu's weakness?" Gray blurted out, "He is irritable and an impulsive, fiery idiot."

"But..." Gray thought for a moment, "That's true in normal times, but it's another story in battle.

Many times his intuition is as sharp as that of a wild animal, and it would be very troublesome to fight him seriously. "

Although he usually sounds like an idiot and doesn't get along in terms of personality and magic, but if Gray really evaluates Natsu seriously, he will definitely give a high evaluation.

Unless in front of Natsu's face.

"That's it, I'm definitely going to get beaten again today." Rhodes worried, "Don't you have any practical, obvious, immediate weaknesses?"

"By the way, Natsu has asked you to duel today!" Gray slapped his palms, he was interested in helping others beat Natsu!

"If there is an obvious weakness, there is one!" Gray said, "That guy has no means of transportation. You just need to build a car under his feet and you will win!"

"Good idea, but I don't know styling magic!"

"I'll teach you now!"

"Now!"

"That's right, right now!" Gray raised his hands excitedly and his shirt disappeared, "Do it with me..."

Rhodes glanced at Gray's naked upper body: "Sorry to bother you, I may not be suitable for learning ice modeling."

In order to defeat Natsu, Rhodes felt that it was not worth it to become a pervert.

"..." Gray just put his right fist against the palm of his left hand and looked at Rhodes who was running away in confusion, "Huh? I haven't started teaching yet."

While Natsu didn't come, Rhodes decided to find a quiet place to meditate for a while.

"Rod." Lucky called to him and handed him the wooden box he came with. "Inside is the magazine you want."

Rhode's hand sank, and more than fifty magazines were heavy: "Thank you...Why is this box without a mouth?"

"Because it was raining and I was worried about getting wet, I didn't open the door." Lucky said, "When you get back to a place where you can relax, just give the box a hard blow."

"...I know, you are so thoughtful."

Does she mean to go home and smash it open? Rhodes, who was not good at learning common language, took his mind for a while before he understood what she meant.

Also, it turns out that this box was made by her before she went out. The wood modeling magic is really suitable for life.

Rhodes put away the box, ran to the door of the library, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated.

Feeling the magic power growing bit by bit, Rhodes felt the joy of harvest.

I don’t know when the next summon will come, how can I have some attack power then?
