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

Chapter 53 Tarot Cards, Chariot

Mira held two magic crystals in her hands and a magic book on her lap. She looked at the contents of Rhodes' bag and said helplessly:

"Rhode, these things you prepared are enough to blow up a small village... We are just going to participate in the celebration."

"The president said the same thing when I borrowed these things." Rhodes thought for a while and said,

"I just think it feels safer this way. I originally wanted to ask the president to help me draw some defensive magic circles on my body, but he said he didn't have that kind of thing and kicked me out of the warehouse. Alas..."

"Well, well... I seem to understand the president's mood."

Mira wanted to return everything in her hand, but after thinking about it, she took a small magic crystal and put it in her bag.

"Thank you for being so prepared. This is the safest time I've ever gone out recently."

Rhodes regretfully put away the crystal ball handed back by Mira: "This is also a last resort... When I become as strong as Natsu Erza, I won't need these things."

"Wait a minute, have you made any other preparations?"

"There are no special preparations, just two swift crabs." Rhodes lowered his voice and leaned close to her ear.

"One is exploring the way in front, and the other is hiding under the boat. If anything happens, I will immediately pick you up and jump off the boat and run away."

"Thank...thank you?" Mira was a little worried about what would happen if Rhodes actually took over the **** mission.

If there is an attack then... Mira looks at Rhodes' backpack, um, I hope the gangster is okay.

"Oh, in addition to the material aspect, there is also some metaphysical preparation."

"..." Mira kept smiling and listened to him quietly.

"Because everyone said that Kana's divination is very accurate, so I asked her to do a divination yesterday." Rhodes was not superstitious before, except when playing games to draw cards.

But now in the world of magic, magic such as prophecy and divination also exists - it doesn't cost money anyway, just have some faith.

Speaking of Kana's divination, Mira was still a little interested: "What is the result?"

"It is the "chariot", the king's chariot that overcomes obstacles and achieves victory. " Rhodes said,

"Kana said that the chariot represents 'never give up' and success through hard work and overcoming difficulties. If it is a fortune telling about travel, then the luck will be good.

If it is an accounting job, then your confident and rational attitude will make the client more confident. "

"Isn't that great?" Mira said, "Since your luck is so good, why do you need to prepare so many...self-defense weapons?"

"Because you need to overcome obstacles, and you have to be rational to succeed." Rhodes pointed to his backpack, "Am I rational enough?"

"Too sensible." Mira sighed softly, "Now as a 'client', I am very confident that your mission will be successful."

"That's good, I'll be a little more vigilant." Rhodes connected the vision of the two river crabs, and a 'split screen' seemed to appear in his mind.

He carefully observed all the passing ships nearby and every pedestrian on the shore.

Mira looked at Rhodes' condition and remembered the president's instructions. The purpose of going out this time was to make Rhodes relax a little, but...

It’s okay to bring some expendable magic items for self-defense. Would anyone keep using magic for reconnaissance when traveling?

He even thought of predicting fortune in advance!

However, this is actually very good.

If she had been half as cautious as Rhodes at that time, Lisanna might not have...

Compared to the powerful but arrogant and reckless me back then, maybe teaming up with Rhodes would be safer, right?

Lisanna's face appeared in my mind, Mira hugged her arms, it was all my fault...

"Mira, Mira?"

Mira was awakened by Rhode's voice: "...Sorry, I was distracted. Did you find anything?"

"There's no suspicious person. Is it cold in the cabin?" Rhode looked at Mira's movement of crossing her arms and pulled out a jacket from her bag, "Fortunately, I'm prepared for this."

That was Rhode's only coat. In fact, if Rhode wanted, he could stuff all his clothes into his bag, and there weren't many of them anyway. "Thank you." Mira did not refuse and put her coat in front of her. The smell of the sun made her feel warm.

Feeling the care of your peers in grief is the best comfort.

"It's not yet noon, and the cabin may be a little damp. Do you want to light a fire for you?"

Rhodes' fingers traced through the air, and each letter was shaped into a huge magic word "FIRE", which then shrunk to the size of a fist and turned into a burning flame.

Mira was amused by the contrast and laughed out loud. This was the first time Rhodes showed her three-dimensional text magic, and she didn't expect to learn it like this.

The boatman behind him finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Don't play with fire in the canopy!"

What happened to this man? Not only did he bring a large bag of explosives, but he also played with fire in the cabin? Are you really not afraid of detonating it?

"Sorry, sorry!" Rhodes waved his hand to make the flame disappear.

…

As the boat goes down the river, the sun gradually rises. Even if the boat canopy blocks the sun, the air gradually becomes hotter.

This is why you should take a boat instead of a river crab.

It still took a while to arrive in Huadu. Mira opened her suitcase and took out a food box:

"I made some simple sandwiches in the morning. If you don't mind, let's eat them together. Although the taste is not as good as Mr. Cook's."

"You can cook..."

This is natural. Rhodes thought of the last time Mira purchased ingredients for Mr. Cook. I am afraid it was not that Mr. Cook had lowered his standards, but that Mira was really good at this.

"Don't look at me like this, I take care of Elfman myself." Mira picked up a sandwich and handed it to Rhodes, "But Elfman is actually also very good at cooking."

Rhodes took the sandwich. He actually brought some bread, but...

At this time, all fools know how to choose, and throw the bread to Worm.

"Elfman, do you know how to cook?"

Rhodes tried to imagine Elfman wearing an apron... He couldn't imagine it at all.

"Is it that unbelievable?" Mira smiled, "Didn't I say that Elfman is a very gentle child."

She said she had said it before, but Rhodes thought it was her sister trying to protect her brother's image.

He smiled and took a bite of the sandwich: "Huh?"

"What's wrong, does it taste bad?" Mira checked the food box, "The magic of keeping it fresh should not have failed."

"Let's not talk about the preservation magic. The taste is a bit familiar." Rhodes tasted it carefully. "It's delicious. It's different from what you usually eat in the guild."

Mira smiled and said: "As long as you like it, I thought you wouldn't like what I cook because you are used to Mr. Cook's cooking."

So that’s it!

It turns out that she also made the sandwich that day.

Rhodes remembered the day he just woke up, with the same taste on his tongue and the same smile in front of him.

He took another big bite, chewed quickly, and complained to himself in his mind:

What a cliche love drama plot!
