Chapter 28 It’s rainy, time to be emo
A new day has arrived. Rod woke up to the sound of dripping rain. As soon as he got out of bed, he felt his legs swelled.
Maybe because of the stimulation yesterday, or maybe because he secretly made up his mind, Rod gritted his teeth and ran until he fell to the ground and couldn’t get up.
Even when he went home, he specially summoned the Canyon Swift Crab and let it use its tentacles to roll him on its back and carry him back.
Before going to bed at night, Rod deliberately used a wet towel to apply cold compress for a while, and also found some swelling-reducing medicine from a large box of medicines sent by Erza.
Now it seems that it is fortunate that he had foresight.
Rod dragged his sore legs to the bathroom to solve personal problems and wash up. After coming out, he decided to use some more medicine.
“It’s broken. I forgot to put away the clothes!”
Rod went to the balcony to check. Sure enough, it rained a little hard last night, and all the clothes were soaked by the rain.
He had to put them away first and soak them in a basin with the sweaty clothes he took off yesterday.
After staring at the basin for a while, Rod reluctantly sat down to wash the clothes.
There was no way. Apart from these two sets and pajamas, he only had one set in the closet. Every time he opened the closet, he felt that it was empty.
If there was any accident again, Rod would immediately face the dilemma of having no clothes to wear.
“I’ll prepare two more sets when I have more money.”
Rod washed and wrung the clothes and hung them in the laundry room temporarily.
He thought about the possibility of taking them to the guild to find Naz to dry them for a second, and decisively gave up – the risk was too great and he couldn’t afford to gamble.
After a flurry of activity, Rod went downstairs to go to the guild.
However, the rain showed no signs of abating, and even Goodman did not come to the stall today.
After opening the door, Rhode realized a new problem – he had not bought an umbrella yet.
”I am so miserable…” Rhode said in a poor voice.
”Hurrah~”
At the critical moment, Worm took out an umbrella from the corner of the first floor.
”Well done!” Rhode praised, summoned the river crab, and jumped up with the umbrella to the guild.
Before leaving, he did not forget to leave a note for Goodman to tell him that he had borrowed the umbrella without permission.
The Canyon Swift Crab walked slowly on the street according to Rhode’s instructions. It not only did not hate being in the rain, but also felt that such an environment was more comfortable.
Rhode sat cross-legged on the highest point of the Swift Crab’s back shell, tilting the umbrella towards the direction where the raindrops were coming from.
The streets of Magnolia were much quieter in the rain. The hawking sounds in the morning were basically gone, and there were only a few pedestrians passing by.
They were holding umbrellas, wearing raincoats and rain boots, and hurriedly stepped on the water.
Rhode had seen many such scenes before he crossed over, but… he looked down at his appearance and felt that he was out of tune with this place.
Yes, he was originally an alien who did not belong to this world.
But this little bit of pretentiousness completely disappeared when he arrived at the door of the guild.
Because at this moment, Laqi walked slowly from the northwest intersection with a wooden umbrella and a pair of wooden boots, and a wooden box in her other hand.
The purple long hair swayed gently, and it looked very friendly in the rain.
On the other side, Gray also walked from the other side with a large ice crystal umbrella with exquisite and gorgeous shape.
The rain flowed down the umbrella cover, neither freezing nor melting it, but just adding a bead curtain-like decoration to the umbrella.
Noticing Rhode and Lucky, Gray raised his hand casually: “Yo!”
Laki responded energetically: “Morning!” ”Morning!” The Swift Crab disappeared, Rhode stood firm, looking at the two companions who were as “weird” as him, and couldn’t help but smile.
Is this also the meaning of the existence of the guild?
The three of them walked into the guild gate. Laqi looked at the floor at the gate and said, “I feel like I’ll have to keep mopping the floor today.”
Rod thought about what places like cafeterias and supermarkets do on rainy days, and suggested, “How about putting a few more pieces of cardboard at the door?”
”Good idea, let’s do it, but…” Laqi chose to cast magic, “Wooden Shape·Pure Love is Spotless!”
Swish, swish, swish… Pieces of thin wooden boards appeared inside and outside the guild gate at the same time, and the upward side was deliberately made quite rough.
”Shaping MagicIt’s so convenient.” Rhode sighed again, and wanted to complain about what a crappy name it was.
It’s better to call him “clean soles of feet spotless”.
There wasn’t much to do in the morning, and Rhode was busy for a while before he found Gray.
”What’s Natsu’s weakness?” Gray blurted out, “He’s irritable and impulsive, and a fire fool.”
”But…” Gray thought for a while, “It’s true that he’s like this at ordinary times, but it’s another matter in battle.
Many times his intuition is as sensitive as a beast, and it’s very troublesome to fight him seriously.”
Although he usually calls him a fool, and his personality and magic don’t match, if Gray really wants to seriously evaluate Natsu, he will definitely give a high evaluation.
Unless it’s in front of Natsu.
”That’s it, I’m definitely going to get beaten again today.” Rhode was worried, “Is there no actual, obvious, and immediate weakness? ”
”By the way, Natsu has asked you to duel today!” Gray pounded his palm. He was interested in helping others beat Natsu!
”As for the obvious weakness, there is one!” Gray said, “That guy can’t do anything with transportation. You just need to build a car under his feet and you will win!”
”Good idea, but I don’t know shaping magic!”
”I’ll teach you now!”
”Now!”
”Yes, now!” Gray raised his hand excitedly, and his shirt disappeared, “Do it with me…”
Rod glanced at Gray’s bare upper body: “Sorry to bother you, I may not be suitable for learning ice shaping.”
Becoming a pervert just to beat Natsu…Rod thinks it’s not worth it.
”…” Gray just put his right fist against the palm of his left hand, and looked at Rod who was fleeing in confusion, “Ah? I haven’t started teaching yet. ”
While Natsu was not here, Rhode decided to find a quiet place to meditate for a while.
”Rhode.” Lucky called him and handed him the wooden box he brought with him. “Inside is the magazine you asked for.”
Rhode’s hand sank. More than fifty magazines were not light. “Thank you… Why is there no opening on this box?”
”I was worried about getting wet because of the rain, so I didn’t make an opening.” Lucky said, “When you return to a place where you can relax, just give the box a heavy blow.”
”…I know. You are very thoughtful. ”
She meant to smash it open when she got home, right? Rhode, who had not learned the common language well, thought for a while before he understood what she meant.
Also, it turned out that this box was also made by her before she went out. Wood-shaped magic is really suitable for life.
Rhode put the box away, ran to the door of the library, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to meditate.
Feeling the growth of magic power bit by bit, Rhode felt the joy of harvest.
I don’t know when the next summon will come. By then, it will have some attack power, right? (End of this chapter)
