Chapter 35 Fighting and Progress
Mira smiled and reminded: “Mr. Rhodes who wants to ‘prostrate himself’, it’s time to go to work.”
Rhodes nodded: “Okay, I know, the word prostrating himself is wrong.”
Mira said: “It seems that not only magic, but also the common language has improved.”
”Because you and Laqi often correct it, Levi and Marcus helped a lot…”
Rhodes paused, because the four people he mentioned, except Mira, are now lying in the yard.
”Are they okay?”
”It’s okay, it’s okay, they will recover soon.” Mira walked towards the hall, “Let’s go clean up inside first.”
Rhodes followed, looking back every few steps.
As Mira said, the companions who were beaten in the yard by the president quickly got up and patted the dust on their bodies.
When Lucky was about to use magic to repair the wall, the president stopped her:
”Ask Makao and Natsu to repair the wall and windows, no magic!”
Laki provided a pile of wood, gave Natsu and the others a helpless look, and then only repaired the broken tables and chairs in the guild.
The president was angry for only a moment, and he turned a blind eye to Makao and Wakaba fighting again a few minutes later.
Everyone had their own things to do, only Natsu shouted that he wanted to fight with Rhode again after hearing about the battle just now.
Rhode happily agreed, wanting to see how he could fight with Natsu now.
After a busy period at noon, it was lunch time that Rhode looked forward to most every day.
Today’s dishes seemed to be particularly rich. In addition to the two plates of vegetarian dishes served by Rhode, Mira and Lucky each brought two plates of large dishes.
Raw marinated prawns, with their heads facing inward and their bodies facing outward, were neatly spread around the edge of the plate, attracting attention.
Raw marinated crab roe, the crab roe after marinating is different from the one directly steamed, it is red and looks like it has solidified.
The crab roe and crab meat lie quietly in the opened crab shell, making people salivate.
Seafood omelette, a whole omelette spreads over a large round plate, with a circle of clam meat neatly arranged on the edge, other shellfish meat piled in the middle, and green chives can be seen underneath.
The various ingredients are perfectly blended together by the omelette, like a blooming sunflower.
Finally, there is crab roe and shrimp casserole porridge. As soon as the lid is opened, the fresh fragrance is already in the air, making people salivate.
Worm lies on the edge of the table with eager eyes. It is a polite Poro, and it will not move unless others give it to it.
At best, he stuck out his tongue and drooled pitifully.
Rod was almost unable to control his gluttony: “Is today’s theme seafood? Why is it so rich?”
Laki said: “Because Sister Mira said she wanted to celebrate for you, she specially asked Mr. Cook to make his specialty.”
Mr. Cook is the chef of the guild kitchen. It is said that he has been working here for more than 20 years. Every kind of food that Rhode has eaten here is basically his craft.
”This… is too disrespectful.” Rhode’s eyes were controlled by the delicious food on the table and he couldn’t move his eyes away.
”Is it ‘excuse me’?” Mira went to bring three more glasses of azure wine, put them down and sat down, “Three glasses of blue starry sky, Kana will treat you.”
Rod and Lucky looked at the table next to them. Kana was sitting on the table, holding a wine barrel and leaning sideways to signal them to ‘raise the barrel’.
The three of them raised their glasses together and signaled to Kana, then clinked their glasses and each took a sip.
”Sweet?” Rhodes tasted it carefully. Compared to food, he didn’t know much about wine. The taste felt a bit like RIO, but it was smoother and had a stronger wine taste. Mira said, “This is wine from the neighboring country Bosco. It’s a bit expensive due to transportation and tariff issues, but it tastes very good.
The disadvantage is that the alcohol content is too low, which is not suitable for Kana’s taste. Just like it.”
”It tastes very good, thank you!”
Rhodes put down the wine glass and began to taste today’s delicious food.
First, the raw marinated prawns, the shrimp meat is so glutinous that it even feels a little sticky, and the taste is very different from steamed shrimps.
Its own sweetness becomes more obvious with the marinade, and the overall taste is fresh and not fishy, and it is very delicious.
The other dishes also have their own characteristics. With every bite, you can even feel the enthusiasm of the chef for his work.
Rod savored every dish carefully and praised it highly.”I think Mr. Cook will like you very much.” Mira smiled. There are many people in the guild who like to eat, but Rhode is the only one who can talk and taste.
”Haha…” Rhode said embarrassedly, “Actually… I think Mr. Cook is too serious. I don’t dare to speak when I look at his face.”
”That’s because Mr. Cook takes everything related to cooking very seriously. And…”
Mira thought of the past and said with a little nostalgia,
”When Happy was still young, he once dragged Natsu to the kitchen to find fish to eat, but accidentally knocked over the seasoning jar and ruined a lot of ingredients.
As a result, Mr. Cook chased them for three blocks with a knife and beat Natsu up.
Since then, Natsu and Happy never dared to enter the kitchen again, and Mr. Cook also developed the habit of staring at everyone who entered the kitchen seriously.”
”…So that’s how it is.” Rhode nodded heavily, worthy of being the chef of Fairy Tail.
Next time, I must be extra careful when I go to the kitchen. If it is not necessary, I should communicate through the serving port.
Laki looked at Mira and felt a little happy. Sister Mira actually took the initiative to bring up what happened at that time. Maybe she has come to her senses a little bit? It was not just Natsu who accompanied Happy to find fish and was chased for several streets.
…
In the afternoon, Rod fought with Natsu again.
——Originally, he should have found Cana, but she drank too much and could not stand steadily. She was talking in her sleep while holding a barrel.
Natsu’s destructive power is much stronger than Jet. One move of “Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist” can break a leg of a stone beetle.
One move of “Fire Dragon’s Roar” can blow the ancient stone beetle back and even split it twice.
That is, breaking through the ground and attacking separately after drilling can cause some trouble to Natsu.
However, unlike Jet who was clamped and unable to exert force, Natsu would burst into flames all over his body, and use the powerful heat to directly send the stone beetle away.
Such an obvious contrast made it difficult for Rhode to determine the stone beetle’s defense for a while.
Is this strong or not? Natsu’s breath should be a very powerful magic, right?
In this battle, Rhode achieved unprecedented results, relying on the advantage of numbers to make Natsu lose balance and almost fall.
It’s a pity that before he could chase him, he reacted, supported himself on the ground, turned over, and successfully resolved the crisis by catching the “fire dragon’s claw”.
In close combat, Rhode was no longer powerless to fight back. He fought with Natsu for several rounds before he became a “tough guy” fighting with you and me.
This kind of exciting fight with fists and flesh moved Elfman to tears, and he almost went down to join the battle directly.
