Chapter 47 Worm, have you gained weight?
Chapter 47 Worm, have you gained weight?
”No, our country has no nobles or royal families.
The fact that we can spend such a long time studying should be due to policies, order, and productivity.
Of course, family support is also important…”
Rod suddenly stopped talking. Except for the first few days after arriving here, he didn’t dare to think about it, nor did he want to mention it.
The president told Rod that if he went out more in the future, he might find clues to the “space magic” that brought him here.
If he can’t find it, then the guild is his home.
Just like Natsu, six years have passed since Natsu’s adoptive father Igner “disappeared”.
Natsu is still trying to find clues about his beloved family, but at the same time, he also has a new family.
Rod didn’t know the inside story of Natsu’s affairs, but he thought it should be different from his own.
He might never have a chance to go back again.
‘There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s a dreamlike world full of magic, and there are many landscapes waiting for you to enjoy.’
Rod told himself this, and then devoted himself to work, study, and practice, putting those aside for the time being, and trying to live on.
It was hard for Mira to imagine what the country described by Rhodes was like.
Having a good life and order, even allowing children from ordinary families to go to school until adulthood.
Such a rich country but no king or nobles… Is this possible?
She didn’t ask any more, because Rhodes stopped talking when he mentioned his family.
Without waiting for her to comfort him, Rhodes drank his glass of wine, stood up and said, “Lebi is up to you, I’ll go practice for a while.”
Mira nodded and only reminded him, “Remember not to overdraw your magic power.”
…
The days in August were long, and when Rhodes got home from get off work, the sky had not yet darkened.
As he walked, he waved his hand to summon Worm, and rubbed the disloyal guy hard to relieve his stress.
”Hulu~” Worm made a disgusted sound. It was too hot, and it wanted to go back to escape the heat.
”Wait a minute, have you grown up a little?”
”Hulu?” Worm showed a confused look.
”I feel like you were a little smaller when I first saw you…”
We were together every day before, so I didn’t notice it. Recently, I was often away from him, so I realized that Worm was growing up.
”Don’t leave in a hurry. I’ll weigh you later so that I can have a comparison standard next time.”
”Woo~” Worm’s pair of small horns drooped down. It felt that the owner was taking revenge on it, and weighing was just an excuse.
”Rod!” Two familiar people were waiting for Rod to go home.
“Jeter, Troy? What’s up?”
Rod stopped. To be honest, he felt a little embarrassed seeing these two because he had witnessed the failed confession today.
Troy was speechless, but Jet was quick to say: “We are looking for you because of Levi’s matter!”
”Ah?” Rod thought for a moment, “Do you want me to keep it a secret for you?”
Jeter denied it, “No, it’s just a failed confession, nothing to be ashamed of!”
”…Actually, it would be best if we could keep it a secret.” Troy whispered, but Roder didn’t hear it clearly and Jet glared at him.
Jet talked about business: “This is what happened…”
Rod summarized: “…So you rushed to confess today because I’ve been close to Rebby recently, which made you feel a sense of crisis?” Troy added: “And it seems that Rebby is very happy every time she comes to you.”
Of course she is happy. Don’t these people know how happy learning is? “You think too much. Rebby is just enjoying the joy of gaining new knowledge. She really likes things related to all kinds of texts.”
Troy said unsurely: “Really?”
Rod said: “You grew up with her, don’t you know how much she likes to study texts? Like ancient texts and so on.”
Jet was a little embarrassed: “When she was studying those things, the two of us were either sleeping or hiding far away…”
Rod stroked Worm’s little horn and said with certainty: “I’m sure Rebby doesn’t have the kind of feelings for me that you worry about, and I don’t have them for her either. I don’t like this type.”
Jet and TroyI felt like crying. They seemed to have done something stupid.
”Cry if you want. After you’re done, think about how to deal with your relationship. Leibi clearly rejected you.”
Rod said goodbye to the two people who failed in love, feeling lucky.
Fortunately, these two were not unreasonable guys, otherwise they might have to face the bloody plots such as “I don’t believe it unless you can prove it to me” or “You are not allowed to approach Leibi unless you beat us.”
It’s so easy to get along with people who speak their mind and understand everything.
On the way back, Rod saw a small stall selling watermelons packing up.
He shamelessly carried Worm to ask the boss to help weigh it, and then he didn’t buy the watermelon.
… Damn it, why are watermelons so expensive? When I make a lot of money, I will buy two at a time, eat one and throw it away… Go to the guild to share one with my companions.
Rhode silently noted down Worm’s weight, bought some cookies that Worm liked, and let it go back to the Howling Abyss to cool down.
…
After get off work, the schedule was still the same. He exercised, hit the sandbag, took a shower, did some housework, and then sat at the table to sort out the information in the magazines.
Last week, he had finished reading the nearly sixty magazines that Lucky lent him, and he was reluctant to return them for the time being.
I originally wanted to make a collection of clippings, but it was a pity that they were not his own.
Rhode gritted his teeth and promised to return them tomorrow.
He was reading two weekly magazines of this month, which he bought himself and spent about the price of a few beers, which was still affordable.
This week, the wizard guild that Sosara introduced was the Mermaid Heel, a guild with only female members.
It is said that this guild is very popular, and many male wizards have applied to join, but all of them have been rejected.
There were also some people who didn’t listen to the advice and went to the guild every day to pester.
As a result, they were knocked unconscious by the members of Mermaid Heel, put on a small skirt, put on heavy makeup, and tied up at the door of the guild for a day and a night.
After that, the wizards basically reached a consensus that they should not look down on Mermaid Heel just because there were only female members in them.
They should not be easily provoked.
The focus is on the genius wizard Kagura, who has a proficient swordsmanship and gravity magic, and is expected to become the pillar of Mermaid Heel in the future.
The standard princess cut hairstyle with a long sword made Rhode think of a woman named Mei.
The past was unbearable to look back on, and Rhode thought he had passed the stage of liking paper people.
He silently wrote down the information about Mermaid Heel and Kagura, put down the notebook and started today’s meditation.
Magic power +1+1+1…
The time of training is fulfilling and enjoyable.
