Chapter 65 What to do
Chapter 65 What to do
Rod chose to take on this mission after careful consideration.
First of all, there is the issue of remuneration. 300,000 J is divided among three people, and each person can get 100,000 J.
——Harpy is a regular wizard with the Fairy Tail emblem. He is a companion and will help during the mission. He should also take a share of the money.
This money will allow Rod to no longer worry about the rent problem, and even live a more comfortable life next month.
Secondly, there is the issue of safety. According to the information provided by Mira, this mission is not very dangerous.
And following Natsu in the team, the safety is well guaranteed. It’s just to deal with some wild animals, which is not a big problem.
Rod seemed to have seen 100,000 J waving to him – provided that Natsu doesn’t do anything else, such as demolishing the village.
This should be paid special attention to! The process of accepting the task is completed, and the three people dispersed.
Natsu had to go home to get his luggage, Happy went to rent a carriage, and Rhodes also had to get his luggage and… make some preparations.
Even if you are in a team, you can’t be careless.
Mira watched Rhodes walk towards the warehouse and said helplessly: “Are you going to borrow something again?”
Rhodes smiled awkwardly: “Be cautious and accumulate knowledge.”
Mira corrected: “Be prepared.”
”Oh, right.”
Mira wanted to say that it was wrong and unnecessary, but considering that this was Rhodes’ first time to accept a subjugation mission, let him go.
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 that it was dangerous enough to take Natsu with him. If he took the Exploding Magic Crystal, he was afraid that the village would disappear.”
Rod felt a little wronged, “I use it for self-defense, not for terrorist attacks.”
Mira couldn’t help laughing, “Please keep an eye on Natsu and don’t let him mess around.”
”Hey…” Rod waved his hand, “I’m leaving.”
Mira waved her hand, “Be careful on the road.”
When Rod walked out of the guild gate, Mira retracted her gaze. In the light, Laqi rushed to Mira from the side and stretched out the tone of Mira’s words just now:
”Be careful on the road~”
Mira said angrily: “Laqi, what are you doing again?”
”It’s not what I’m doing, it’s what you’re doing, Sister Mira~”
Laki lowered her voice and asked, “How is the progress between you and Rhode?”
”What?”
”Love, love!” Laqi made a girl holding her heart and said with an intoxicated face,
”The excellent guild newcomer and the guild’s signature girl are in love day and night. Get along with each other, fall in love because of an escort mission…
Then, he practiced hard to protect her, worked hard to take care of her, and then the relationship between the two advanced by leaps and bounds, and 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 poems always make insignificant changes to the rhythm of life.” Laqi has her own theory, ”Speaking of it, Sister Mira, you are almost You should have noticed that Rod looks at you differently than he looks at others.”
Mira shook her head gently: “Maybe he is grateful for my care for him before.”
Laki denied: “No, Lebi and I lent Rod things and answered Rod’s questions, and we also saw grateful eyes, not like that, um… sparkling.”
”Don’t talk nonsense, there are guests over there who want wine, go quickly.”
”Yes, yes~”
Laki left, Mira lowered her eyes, even Laqi said so.
During the celebration that day, Jenny said this to Mira backstage:
”You should know how much impact falling in love has on photo models like us? Popularity will drop greatly.” Popularity is not important at all, the problem is oneself.
Mira is not a little girl who knows nothing, she can feel Rod’s affection for her.
Part of it comes from gratitude, part of it comes from the feelings between companions, and the other part…
How is this possible?
Rod is the best newcomer this year, or in recent years.
The president described him as a ‘genius of summoning magic’, who can maintain a large number of summons fighting at the same time in a short period of time.
He is careful and prudent in his work, and he persists in his daily practice. Even if he encounters setbacks, he just keeps working hard.
But what is he like? He is reckless, because throughAfter passing the S-class exam, she was complacent and took her younger brother and sister on adventures.
In the end, Elfman had to risk his life to receive the Beast King, but in the end, he couldn’t even protect Lisanna.
I became so weak.
Now I keep a smile every day, not because I have forgotten the sadness, but because I hope Elfman will stop blaming himself, hope he can get out of the psychological shadow, and hope that my companions will not worry.
As long as Elfman can put down the burden and live a good life, it’s enough.
As long as my companions don’t think of that sad thing when they see her, but can get a little good mood, it’s enough.
As for myself, whether it’s pain, sadness, or loss of power, everything is my own fault, and it’s the punishment I deserve for my arrogance.
Love? Happiness? Even a new family?
These things are not something people like me can have.
But Rod’s feelings…
”Mira, two beers here!”
Mira closed her eyes, and when she opened them she smiled as usual: “I’ll be there soon!”
What should we do? …
”What do you want?”
Rod sat in 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 there soon, I can do it!”
Natsu took a deep breath, made a standing long jump, and prepared to jump onto the carriage in one go.
However, before he jumped, Natsu stopped abruptly: “I’d better walk over there. You guys… Hey, harpy, what are you doing? Let me go!”
Harpy spread his wings, grabbed Natsu’s shoulders, lifted him up and threw him into the carriage, then shouted: “Uncle, we can go!”
“Go!”
The driver was actually getting impatient. It was so hot, and he was still dragging his feet to get on the carriage.
“Let go… Ugh…” Natsu stopped struggling, lying in the carriage with a blue face, and he had no strength to speak, “Let~me~down…”
Rod silently moved away from the direction Natsu’s mouth was facing: “Isn’t it too exaggerated to be so carsick?”
Harpy said: “Love! Natsu has no idea about transportation.”
“I heard Gray mention it, but I didn’t expect it to be this serious.”
Rod poked Natsu’s bulging cheek with his hand, and heard a “woo” sound, and quickly took it back.
He suddenly felt unsafe again: “Hasn’t this completely lost the ability to fight?”
”Love! Do whatever you want to Natsu now. Like this, this, this…”
Happy pulled Natsu’s cheek, tied Natsu’s hair into a bun, rolled on his back, and tossed around.
”Happy…” Natsu said weakly, “Stop the car… I won’t let you go…”
”Love! Uncle, don’t stop the car!”
