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

Chapter 6 Temporarily settling down

"There is no doubt that it is a very good quality magic item."

Magic power doesn't lie. Makarov can tell at a glance whether the pendant is a magic item.

Maybe Rhodes could survive in such a beast tide because of this pendant - even though he didn't know how to use it.

Rhodes took off the necklace, and the thin metal chains were piled up. The pendant lay quietly in the palm of his hand. The golden letters and blue round bottom reflected the scattered natural light.

I read it over and over several times, but apart from the fact that it looked good, I couldn't figure out what was special about it.

"Tatsuya's competition, Yemei gave me the instructions at that time!" Rhodes said in his native language.

Makarov and Mirajane looked at him confused.

Rhodes handed the necklace to Makarov and asked, "President, do you know how to make the most of this thing?"

"You don't necessarily need to know magic to use magic props, but when you can use it, you can count it as knowing magic."

Makarov took the necklace and said a string of tongue twisters.

Rhodes thought about the logic for a moment, and then saw that the ordinary necklace in his hand glowed in the opponent's hand.

"I see, it's a prop similar to the Star Spirit Key. Only you can use this pendant."

"Star spirit key?" Rhodes didn't understand. What was that?

Mirajane thoughtfully helped explain, and even drew a schematic diagram for Rhodes with a light pen:

"Celestial Spirit Magic is magic that signs a contract with the Celestial Spirits and summons them from the Celestial Spirit World to help. People who use Celestial Spirit Magic need to hold a special key, which is a type of magic that possesses magic."

Mirajane's painting skills are a bit poor, and can be said to be abstract compared to Lidas.

This resulted in Rhodes not being able to understand what kind of creature the Star Spirit was, but he could probably understand what kind of magic it was.

He used a word he could understand: "Summoner?"

"That's pretty much what it means." Makarov returned the necklace to Rhodes.

"I will teach you the basics of magic, and I will tell you the tricks of Protoss magic that I know.

In addition, the guild's library also has information about Celestial Spirit Magic... What do you think, do you want to learn this kind of magic? "

"You have to learn." Rhodes nodded.

Summoner, Rhodes can almost think of what this LOL game icon-shaped pendant can be used to summon.

Of those more than a hundred heroes, just a few powerful ones should be invincible, right?

"Then it's decided, I will teach you magic later. Now let's talk about some practical issues."

"Actual question?"

—

Rhodes was kicked out.

His injuries are almost healed, so he needs to move out and not occupy the infirmary all the time.

Rhodes was a little nervous about finding a house to live in a strange city, or rather a strange world.

Fortunately, the president helped him introduce a house not far from the guild, less than one kilometer away in a straight line.

Rhodes had already gone to see it. It should be regarded as a retail store facing the street. The first floor was used as a shop and the second floor could be occupied.

The landlord's name is Goodman Riel, a young man in his twenties or eighties.

He had been living here a few years ago, but he moved out after getting married and only came here during the day when he was opening a shop.

The house is fully equipped with kitchen, bathroom and bathroom, and the bathroom even has a bathtub. The bedroom is not very big, but it is more than enough for one person to live in.

The rent is 80,000 J per month. Rhodes is not very sensitive to the currency here, but according to Mirajane, this price is considered very cheap in Magnolia.

The reason given by the landlord for this price was that the second floor would be vacant anyway, and having a wizard living there would also increase the sense of security.

Rhodes felt that the other party might be looking for the president's reputation. It was said that he would occasionally go to the guild's tavern to drink.

However, Rhodes couldn't afford even a moderately high rent.

The money used to pay the rent was lent to him by the president, totaling 150,000 J, and the remaining 70,000 was used for food and daily necessities.

150,000 J seemed to be a big number just by hearing the number, but after seeing the denomination of the banknotes, Rhode felt a lot more at ease.

The actual value of these thousand-yuan banknotes and 10,000-yuan banknotes is estimated to be much lower than RMB.

However, after borrowing money like this, Rhodes realized that he didn't seem to have paid for the meals and medicines he had taken these past few days.

Especially those medicines, which are so effective, must not be cheap. Then there is the reward for Mr. Shipicki who helped him learn the language. Logically speaking, he should pay for it.

It’s just that I didn’t understand anything at the time and my mind was so confused that I forgot to ask how much it would cost.

"How can anyone owe a huge amount of debt just after time travel..."

With mixed emotions, Rhodes went to a nearby store to buy toiletries such as towels, as well as a few changes of clothes.

Then he realized that the money didn't seem to be well spent.

A slightly thicker towel costs 500J, a three-piece toothbrush, toothpaste and cup set costs 1000J, soap 100J, shampoo 500J...

In addition to necessities such as toilet paper, sheets, pillows, and quilts, I spent a small amount of 20,000 casually.

"Is the remaining 50,000 J enough for a month's food expenses?"

Rhodes recalled that the flame set meal Natsu had seemed to cost more than 1,000 J. Ordinary food is probably not that expensive. If it doesn't work, you can still make it yourself.

Spending another 20,000 J to buy a few more clothes should be about the same...let's cut it in half and keep an extra 10,000 J just in case.

"Fortunately it's summer." Rhodes was thankful for a second, and then he was shocked to realize that he might have to buy another mosquito net.

Wealth has shrunk again.

After busy for a long time, Rhodes finally bought all the things he wanted to buy and took them back.

While it was still dark, Rhodes decided to go to the guild for dinner.

There are not as many people in the guild as there were during the day.

Among the remaining people, most of them wanted to have dinner here just like Rhodes.

Most of them were drunk, some were fast asleep, and some were arguing with others with red faces, feeling like they were about to start a fight at any time.

Natsu, who was chasing Rhodes earlier to ask questions, is not here either. He should have gotten the answer from the president.

Mirajane placed the plates and cups on the tray on the guest table, and then looked at Rod: "Rod, you are back. Have you finished all the moving matters?"

"That's almost it. I'm going to have dinner here, is that okay?"

"Of course, what do you want to eat?"

Rhodes thought for a while: "It should be the same as the one just now. It seems to be delicious."

"Okay, a super spicy curry rice." Mirajane looked at the warrior and clenched her fist to cheer him up, "Be sure to finish what you ordered."

"Wait a minute!" Rhodes quickly stopped him, "You know my common language is not very good. I seemed to have heard a thrilling word just now. What kind of rice is that?"

Mirajane blinked and said innocently: "Curry rice."

"What about the previous modifier?"

"It's just 'super spicy'."

Rhodes raised a hand: "I don't think the words 'just' and 'just' are used like this."

Mirajane pointed to the person who ordered in front of her: "No problem, don't you think he ate deliciously?"

Rhodes collapsed: "He breathed fire!"

"Hey~~ I thought Rhodes would like this."

"I beg you to absolutely, definitely, definitely help me change it to a normal one."

"It's a pity. I thought I could see a funny expression. Also, I only needed to say 'must' in that sentence."

Mirajane left with a chuckle, not even forgetting to help Rhodes correct his language habits.

Rhodes couldn't figure out whether this girl really had a bad character or just liked to watch the fun.

She was not like this yesterday...

Is it because I don’t need to take care of myself now?

Rhodes has mixed feelings, please return that gentle and considerate Mirajane...
