Chapter 3 Where are the people attacked by dragons
Chapter 3 Where are the people attacked by dragons
Elfman came here pushing a wheelchair.
Under Mirajane’s command, he helped Rod to the wheelchair and pushed Rod around the guild.
In fact, Rod felt that he should be able to walk, but his left leg was a little painful.
But since it was someone’s good intention, he accepted it.
And the first place Elfman took him to was the bathroom.
Rod felt a little embarrassed, but he had to thank the other party for being thoughtful. He did need to solve a small problem.
The guild has all the necessary facilities, including the bathroom, bathroom, infirmary, library, and kitchen. If necessary, it is absolutely no problem to live here as a home.
Going out along the corridor, Elfman pushed Rod to the main activity place for guild members – the mission hall, which is also a tavern.
There are more than 20 long tables in the center of the hall, and there are round tables on the edge. There are also more than a dozen stools at the front desk, which can easily accommodate hundreds of people drinking together.
Because it is late, the pub that was lively during the day has now become quiet. Only a girl with purple hair and a big red bow is fiddling with the tables and chairs.
Mirajane waved at her: “Thank you for your hard work, Laqi. Has everyone left?”
”Everyone went home. It was very busy today, but fortunately there was no fighting.”
Laqi kept moving her hands and pushed the chair under the table. “I will go back soon to use the water to cool down and remove dust.”
Elfman said: “She wanted to take a shower, right?”
Mirajane had long been accustomed to Laqi’s way of speaking: “Sorry, I have something the president asked me to do today, so I left all the tavern matters to you.”
”It’s okay… That’s what the president asked you to do, right? He seems quite handsome. Who is he?”
”I don’t know about that either.” Mirajane glanced at Rod and smiled apologetically, “I’m still in the stage of teaching him to speak the common language.”
”Hey~~ It sounds like it’s very troublesome.” Laqi didn’t ask any more questions and put the last chair away. “Then, see you tomorrow.”
”See you tomorrow.”
No one is usually allowed to stay in the guild at night, but Rod’s situation obviously means he can only stay here.
However, it was not appropriate to leave him here alone, so Mirajane decided to stay with Elfman tonight.
After a brief tour of the guild, Rhodes followed Mirajane to attend the evening class.
Rhodes found that there seemed to be no electrical appliances here. The things on the table and hanging on the wall were all oil lamps or candles.
But I seemed to have seen a ceiling fan in the tavern before, and I don’t know what it uses as energy.
During the class, Elfman went back once, probably to get the things he needed for the night.
At night, Rhodes slept alone in the ward, and Mirajane and Elfman found another room to rest.
”Good night, I’m next door, just call my name if you have anything.” Mirajane used words and actions to make Rhodes understand this sentence.
”Thank you.” This is one of the few sentences Rhodes has learned, and he has said it countless times today.
The lights have gone out, and the light of a crescent moon in the sky shines in through the window.
Rod leaned against the head of the bed and looked out the window. There were no car lights that suddenly shone in, no engine roars, and no annoying humming of the air conditioner.
Many things that he used to hate were gone, but he couldn’t be happy.
Outside… is a completely unfamiliar world.
When people are idle, they tend to have wild thoughts, curiosity and fear of the unfamiliar world, expectation and uneasiness about the unfamiliar environment…
During the day, when there were Mirajane, Lidas, Elfman and others accompanying him, he didn’t feel anything.
At night, the lights went out, and a person was in the dark, and all kinds of thoughts came up uncontrollably.
Can I go back, or will I stay here forever? What will life be like in the future? —— ”Good morning! Did you sleep well last night?”
”Good morning….”
Of course, Rod didn’t sleep well, but facing people who came to care about him early in the morning, he could only force himself to be energetic.
However, his answer was not important, because the answer was written on his face.
”Are you really not used to it?” Mirajane saw the sleepiness on his face and encouraged him, ”It’s almost time to get out and move around today, Elfman, can you take Rod to wash up?”
ElfmanHe showed off his muscles: “If you are a man, cheer up!” Rhode shrank back. Do you want to arm wrestle? My injury is not healed yet.
”Elfman~”
”I know, sister.”
Today’s schedule is similar to yesterday’s. It’s nothing more than eating, drinking, studying and trying to communicate.
But today Rhode can walk. Although his left leg is still a little inflexible, he can already walk to the tavern in front by himself and sit at the counter to watch the waiters busy in the tavern.
The sun slowly rises, and the guild gradually becomes lively.
Some people ordered breakfast and chatted with friends they knew, while others went to the notice board to read the paper on it.
Occasionally, someone would tear off a piece of paper to find Mirajane to register, and then leave in a hurry.
Some people just stood there and watched.
Lidas, whom Rhode had met yesterday, also came to the guild early, set up the drawing board, mixed the colors and started painting.
Milajane was doing her job with a sunny smile – serving dishes, wiping tables, and registering tasks. Sometimes she would chat with people.
When she had some free time, she would come to teach Rhodes a few words.
Rhodes looked at the people who entered the guild curiously, and tried to listen to everyone’s conversation, hoping to find someone familiar or catch some words that he could understand.
But most of the time he felt like he was watching a foreign movie without subtitles. Although he was getting more and more used to the language, it was still difficult to extract the parts that he could understand.
Although many of the people who came in had distinct characteristics, Rhodes could not recognize any of them.
Until a young man with cherry-colored hair kicked the door open and shouted, “Old man! Where is the dragon? Where is the person attacked by the dragon?”
”Natsu, don’t make so much noise so early in the morning!”
”Stop talking, Makao!” Natsu said to the middle-aged man with purple short hair, “Tell me quickly, where is the old man, where is the person attacked by the dragon?”
A blue kitten followed Natsu in, jumped onto the table and explained to a middle-aged man with a crew cut holding a pipe:
”Ai! Natsu heard outside that the president rescued a person attacked by a dragon, so he hurried over.”
”Dragon? Is there such a thing?” Wakaba blew out a smoke ring, “I heard that a beast ran away in the eastern forest and destroyed a large area of trees.”
”That’s it!” Natsu leaned forward with his hands on the table, and asked hurriedly, “Then, did a dragon appear? Did the old man fight the dragon?”
”How should I know.” Wakaba spread his hands, “The president went to attend the routine meeting yesterday. He doesn’t look like he has fought before.”
”But the president did bring back someone.” Makao took over the conversation and pointed at Rhodes at the front desk with his thumb, “That’s it, he seemed to be very injured yesterday… Hey…”
Natsu had already run to the front desk.
Rhodes was staring at Natsu, cherry-colored hair, a scarf with a grid pattern, and a black coat. This should be Natsu.
After confirming his location again, Rhodes didn’t know whether to be happy or unhappy.
He was happy because he remembered that Tatsuya had mentioned before that Fairy Tail had a happy ending, and there was also a joke in my BGM that no one could beat me.
So as long as he stayed here, he shouldn’t worry too much about safety.
What made him unhappy was that he was completely sure that he was in a different world. Although there were a few people here whose names he knew, in fact… there was no one familiar.
At this time, Natsu had already rushed over and looked at him: “@#%*…”
Although he could see the urgency on the other person’s face, Rhode really didn’t understand what he was shouting, so he had to look at Mirajane for help.
Mirajane stood next to Rod: “Natsu, calm down, Rod still has a hard time understanding our language.”
Natsu was stunned: “Huh? What’s that?”
Mirajane said: “Maybe the language and writing in his hometown are completely different from ours. He is trying hard to learn it now.”
”…” Natsu clenched his fists, unwillingly, “I finally got the information about Dragon, are you kidding me?”
”Natsu, your expression is too fierce.” Mirajane signaled Natsu to be gentler and not to scare people,
”Try to ask Lidas for help, otherwise we can only wait for the president to come back, or wait for Levi to come back and try.”
