Chapter 115 I have a billion plans
Because he was obsessed with studying, Rhode missed the big event of posting the winners of the Fairy Tail Miss Selection Contest in the guild.
Fortunately, he already knew the results in advance.
The first place was undoubtedly Mira, who took away a prize of 500,000 J.
The second place was Erza. Although it was a trick, some people like excitement.
The third place was unexpectedly Cana. It seems that many viewers are obsessed with this drunk beauty who failed to show magic.
However, these rankings are not that important. Anyway, there is no prize money except for the first place.
It can only provide everyone with a topic for chatting.
When Rhode left the library, everyone had gone home, and Mira and Elfman were about to close the door.
Worm followed them with his tongue hanging out, and only ran over when he saw Rhode.
It seems that he still remembers who his master is.
Elfman asked: “So you are still here, didn’t my sister say you have a mission?”
Rod said: “I checked some information and will leave tomorrow morning.”
”Mission…” Mira thought for a while and said, “Be careful.”
”Don’t worry, it’s not a big problem if it’s just an investigation.” Rhode patted his chest.
Mira knew that it was the sound of the magic book and couldn’t help laughing. This person really made people feel at ease.
The three of them walked together for a short distance and then parted ways at a fork in the road. Elfman said: “Sister, even Rod has gone to work, so I should find a suitable task tomorrow.”
”Why do you say ‘even Rod’?” Mira was a little worried about Rod’s image in everyone’s eyes.
”I just got my salary and bonus, so I don’t have to worry about the expenses at home.”
”That’s why I have to go out to work. How can a man rely on my sister alone!”
”Yes, yes.” Mira looked back and wondered whether she should let Elfman and Rod team up next time.
In this way, there is no need to worry about Elfman getting into danger or getting into trouble. By the way…
No by the way.
…
The next morning, the sun was not very warm, and the breeze was a little cool.
Because he was going on a long journey, Rod not only carried a bag, but also a suitcase.
He was thinking about learning the magic of changing clothes when he had time, so that he could have an extra storage space and go out more conveniently.
When he arrived at the station, Gray was waiting for him at the door with only a messenger bag on his back.
Rod took a special look and saw that the boy was wearing trousers, a top, and a coat.
”Hey!” Gray simply raised his hand as a greeting.
”Good morning.” Rod felt that he only raised his hand, and Gray’s windbreaker was already on the ground.
He wondered, “How did you take off your windbreaker and throw it on the ground without even moving your crossbody bag?”
”Ah? What nonsense are you talking about… Eh?!” Gray picked up his windbreaker in a hurry, “Well, let’s go buy tickets first.”
Rod said, “Wait for Wendy and Xia Lulu first?”
”Mr. Rod!”
Wendy was carrying a backpack with a little rabbit decoration on it, and she waved and ran towards Rod.
Then, bang!
Rod’s shoulders shrank. Does this kid have the attribute of falling flat on his face when he appears on the stage?
He stepped forward and helped her: “Are you okay?”
Wendy patted the dust off her body and said politely: “It’s okay, thank you Mr. Rhodes.”
“I told you not to be rash.” Xia Lulu followed calmly with her hands in her pockets.
“It turns out that it was you who Mr. Makarov was talking about. Why didn’t you make it clear earlier? I was worried about who was the weirdo.”
“There is a weirdo.” Rhodes introduced, “This is Gray, who is in the team with me, the Ice Demon…”
“Ah!” Wendy covered her eyes and her face turned red.
Xia Lulu said madly: “Hey, why did you bring a pervert here!”
“…” Rhodes looked back and saw that Gray was only in his shorts, and people who wanted to enter the station walked around them.
The first meeting of the temporary team didn’t seem very pleasant.
After a little episode, the four of them bought three tickets and sat opposite each other after getting on the bus.
Although the three of them treated Xia Lulu as a human being, the ticket seller obviously did not.
Rod’s envious eyes made Xia Lulu feel uncomfortable.
The little white cat’s face actually had a littleHongyun: “Don’t look at me like that, I didn’t mean to evade the ticket!”
”I didn’t say anything. Your weight is enough for them to recover their costs if it is counted as Wendy’s ticket.” Rhode said, “Such a black-hearted station, there is no child ticket.”
Wendy smiled a little reluctantly, and said weakly: “Well, Mr. Rhode, if possible, I don’t want to be treated as a child at all.”
”Ah, sorry, Wendy is a wizard who can stand on her own, and she is indeed not a child.”
Xia Lulu complained: “If you really think so, don’t say it in a coaxing tone.”
”…” That can’t be helped. Rhode also met a well-behaved and cute child like Wendy for the first time, and he did that unconsciously.
Gray suddenly asked: “Speaking of which, what race are Xia Lulu and Harpy?”
”Humph! Just think of them as talking cats, pervert.”
”Xia Lulu, that’s too rude.” Wendy cast an apologetic look at Gray.
Rhodes waved his hand: “It’s okay, she’s not wrong.”
”Hey!” Gray glared at him.
Rhodes said: “Please restrain yourself a little, really, at least don’t take off your clothes in public.”
Gray folded his arms and turned his head away without saying anything. He didn’t mean it.
”If you’re bored, take a look at this.” Rhodes flipped through his backpack and handed the commission and a few papers to Gray.
”Ah? Didn’t the task content already…what is this?”
Gray took the task sheet, and the first paper below was a brief outline of the southern mountains.
The map marked the target area for the first day of search after arrival, the scheduled resting place and search area on the second day, and the third day…
Turn to the second paper, and it was written which poisonous insects and beasts on the mountain need to be avoided, and which food is easy to obtain.
Only a brief sentence was written about the water source, and the mark can be melted by Gray’s ice or topped with text magic.
Then it is about how to track the target, where the terrain may be convenient for hiding, and marking where the stone beetle can be used to pretend to be a stone to create a bunker.
Then there is a plan for tracking and being discovered, which is divided into escape and battle, and lists several plans, ABC.
Finally, it is written that ‘there is too little information about the target Zat brothers, and the situation of the helpers is unclear, so you must be cautious in the battle’.
Gray was stunned: “I say, did you do the same thing last time you teamed up with Natsu?”
Rod shook his head: “No, I didn’t make a plan last time because I was inexperienced, and I felt that Natsu would not read it even if I did, so I considered it temporarily and then dictated it.”
Gray didn’t know what to say. He seemed to know why Natsu didn’t cause any trouble in the crusade mission.
Gray, a senior wizard who has joined the guild for more than eight years, fell into deep thought. Is this the process of a wizard’s work? Useless little knowledge:
In Fairy Tail, accepting a mission is generally referred to as ‘going to work’.
I often mix up the words work, commission and task here. I wonder if anyone minds.
