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

Chapter 65 What should I do?

Rhodes chose to take on this task after careful consideration.

The first is the remuneration issue. 300,000 J is divided among three people, and each person can get 100,000 J.

- Harpy is a regular mage who bears the Fairy Tail crest. He is a companion. He will help during the mission, and his share of the money must be counted.

This money will allow Rhodes to no longer have to worry about rent, and he will even be able to live relatively comfortably next month.

The second issue is safety. According to the intelligence provided by Mira, this mission is not very dangerous.

Moreover, by forming a team with Natsu, the safety is pretty well guaranteed. It's just a matter of taking care of some wild beasts, so it's not a big problem.

Rhodes seemed to have seen 100,000J waving to him - provided that Natsu didn't cause anything else, such as demolishing the village.

Pay special attention to this!

After the process of accepting the task was completed, the three of them dispersed.

Natsu needs to go home to pick up his luggage, Happy goes to rent a carriage, and Rhodes also needs to pick up his luggage and... make some preparations.

Even if you form a team, you can’t be careless.

Mira watched Rhodes walking towards the warehouse and said helplessly: "Are you going to borrow something again?"

Rhodes said with a sneer: "Be careful and cautious, and you will gain more if you accumulate more."

Mira corrected: "It's about being prepared."

"Oh, yes."

Mira wanted to say it was wrong and unnecessary, but considering that this was Rhode's first time taking on a crusade mission, let him do it.

A few minutes later, Rhodes returned empty-handed, with a little grievance on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"The president refused to open the warehouse door. He said it was dangerous enough to take Natsu with him, but if he took the Exploding Magic Crystal, he was afraid the village would disappear."

Rhodes felt a little aggrieved, "I'm here for self-defense, not for a terrorist attack."

Mira couldn't help laughing: "Please keep an eye on Natsu and don't let him mess around."

"Hey..." Rhodes waved his hand, "I'm leaving."

Mira waved: "Be careful on the road."

When Rhodes walked out of the guild gate, Mira withdrew her gaze. Lucky jumped on Mira from the side, lengthening the tone of what Mira just said:

"On the road~little~heart~"

Mira said angrily: "Lachi, what are you doing again?"

"It's not what I'm doing, it's what you're doing, Sister Mira~"

Lucky lowered her voice and asked, "How are you and Rod going?"

"What?"

"Love, love!" Lucky made a girlish gesture of holding her heart and said with an intoxicated look on her face.

"An excellent newcomer to the guild gets along with the guild's signature girl day and night, and falls in love because of an **** mission...

Then, he practiced hard to protect her and worked hard to take care of her. Then the relationship between the two developed by leaps and bounds and they entered the palace of marriage...

Ah, what a romantic love! "

Mira said helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense, and even the order and cause and effect of things have been disrupted."

"Beautiful poetry always makes slight adaptations to the rhythm of life." Lucky has her own theory,

"Speaking of which, Sister Mira, you should have noticed by now. The way Rod looks at you is different from how he looks at others."

Mira shook her head slightly: "Probably because she was grateful for the little care I gave him before."

Lucky denied: "That's not the case. Rebby and I lent Rod things and answered Rod's questions. We also saw the grateful eyes. It's not like that, um... shiny."

"Stop talking nonsense. There are guests over there who want wine. Go quickly."

"Yes, yes~"

Lucky left, Mira lowered her eyes, and even Lucky said the same.

During the celebration that day, Jenny said this to Mira backstage:

"You should know how much falling in love affects photo models like us, right? The popularity will drop drastically." Popularity doesn't matter at all, the problem is yourself.

Mira is not a little girl who doesn't understand anything. She can feel Rhode's affection for her.

Part of it comes from gratitude, part of it comes from the affection between peers, and the other part...

How is this possible?

Rhodes is the best rookie this year, and it should be said in recent years.

The president described him as a "genius of summoning magic". He was able to maintain a large number of summoned objects in battle at the same time in a short period of time.

He is thorough and cautious in doing things, and he perseveres in his daily practice. Even if he encounters setbacks, he just continues to work hard.

But what does he look like?

He is reckless, complacent because he passed the S-class exam, and takes his younger siblings on adventures self-righteously.

In the end, Elfman actually had to fight tooth and nail to take over the Beast King. In the end, even... not even Lisanna could be protected.

He also became this weak.

Now I keep smiling every day, not because I have forgotten my sadness, but because I hope Elfman will stop blaming himself, hope that he can get out of his psychological shadow, and hope that his companions will not worry.

As long as Elfman can put down his burden and live a good life, it will be enough.

As long as her companions don't think of that sad thing when they see her, but can feel a little good, it's enough.

As for myself, whether it's pain, sadness, or loss of strength, it's all my own fault, and it's the punishment I deserve for my arrogance.

in love? happiness? Or even a new family?

These things are not something people like me can have.

But Rhodes' feelings...

“Mira, two beers here!”

Mira closed her eyes, and when she opened them she smiled normally again: "Come right away!"

What to do?

…

"What do you want?"

Rhodes sat on the carriage and looked at Natsu. He and Happy had been waiting for almost ten minutes.

Happy also complained: "Too slow, Natsu."

"Wait, wait a minute, I'll be ready soon, I can do it!"

Natsu took a deep breath and performed a standing long jump, preparing to jump to the car in one go.

However, before taking off, Natsu's movements suddenly stopped:

"Why don't I walk there? You guys... Hey, Habi, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Happy spread his wings, grabbed Natsu's shoulders, lifted him up and threw him into the carriage, and then shouted: "Uncle, you can go!"

"drive!"

The coachman was actually impatient with waiting. It was so slow to get on the bus on such a hot day.

"Let go... ugh..." Natsu stopped struggling and lay in the carriage, his face turned blue and he had no strength to speak, "Let me go down..."

Rhodes silently moved away from the direction where Natsu's mouth was facing: "Isn't it too exaggerated to get motion sickness like this?"

Happy said, "Love! Natsu has absolutely no idea about transportation."

"I heard Gray mention it, but I didn't expect it to be this serious."

Rhodes poked Natsu's bulging cheek with his hand, and when he heard a 'woo', he quickly pulled it back.

He suddenly felt unsafe again: "Isn't this a complete loss of combat ability?"

"Love! You can do anything to Natsu now. Like this, this, this..."

Habi pulled Natsu's cheek, tied Natsu's hair into a bun, and rolled on his back, tossing around for a while.

"Happy..." Natsu said weakly, "Stop the car quickly... I can't spare you..."

"Love! Uncle, don't stop the car!"
