Fairy Tail: I don't want to be the president

Chapter 116: Traveling with a Pervert

"How amazing!" Wendy looked at the plan in Gray's hand with admiration on her face, "So this is how the wizards of the big guilds complete their commissions."

Xia Lulu shook her head: "No, I now feel that this guy is not a normal wizard."

Gray asked as if to confirm: "Rod, are you serious?"

"What else?" Rhode thought of something and said, "Oh, since this is an investigation mission, it is natural that the intelligence is not detailed enough. We can improve it slowly later."

"No, that's not the question. I..." Gray thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I will read it carefully."

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although Gray fought with Natsu all day long, his personality was much calmer than Natsu's.

At least that's usually the case.

He rummaged through his backpack and took out a small cloth bag with the Fairy Tail logo printed on it and handed it to Wendy and Xia Lulu:

"Come and try it, Fairy Tail's special Pokémon delicacies, a very popular snack recently."

In fact, it is equivalent to a small biscuit, which was improved by Mr. Cook based on the taste of Poro delicacies. It can be eaten with wine or as a snack while drinking tea.

"So cute!" Wendy was immediately attracted by the appearance of the cookie. "It tastes great too."

Xia Lulu reluctantly said, "It's just so-so."

Both are cute.

Rhodes smiled and turned sideways to look at the gradually moving scenery outside the window.

This was his first time riding a train since arriving in this world. He had only strolled outside the station before and observed the terrain briefly while getting familiar with the city.

When the train left the station and its speed stabilized, Rhodes felt that it was about the same as riding a green train.

Considering the messy technology tree of this world, it should be said that it is very impressive. I didn’t notice whether this train is powered by magic or coal or oil.

Xia Lulu looked at the somewhat excited Wendy, and then looked at Rhodes who was full of curiosity: "Why do you seem to be more curious than Wendy?"

Rhodes said, "Because this is my third time leaving Magnolia, and I didn't go in this direction the previous two times."

"Hey???"

Wendy and Xia Lulu were both surprised, and even Gray was a little surprised.

He only knew that Rhodes took few missions, but he didn't expect it to be so few.

"Why are you so surprised too?" Xia Lulu complained, not knowing where to start.
"No, why would the senior wizard want to act according to the rookie wizard's plan?"

"This kind of thing is not about seniority." Gray did not act like a 'senior' at all. He shook the plan in his hand.

"Since the president recognizes Rhodes' ability, then I just need to trust him. Besides, Rhodes is very strong."

"Oh my, I feel embarrassed to praise me like this in person."

Rhodes thought about it carefully. Last time, Natsu and Happy trusted him unconditionally.

Although he jokingly used a fish to get Happy's support, Natsu only disliked his nagging from the beginning to the end, and did not question him out of distrust.

If that was because Natsu was simple-minded, then the more stable Gray was not like that after all.

Secretly touched, Rhodes said, "How about you praise me a few more times?"

Gray said with a sour face: "Go away, it's disgusting."

"Great." Wendy's eyes seemed to be twinkling with little stars. The atmosphere of Fairy Tail was so great.

Xia Lulu snorted and looked away. Yesterday it was the idiot and his friends, today it was the pervert and his friends.

By the way...still an idiot.

The train rattled on, and Rod and Wendy looked at the autumn scenery outside the window with equal excitement.

Sometimes when Wendy saw a group of geese flying in the sky, she would quickly point them out to Rod.

Sometimes Rod would see a strangely shaped tree and quickly point it out to Wendy.

Occasionally, they would miss each other and not see what the other person was saying, and both would feel a little regretful.

Although there was a seven or eight year age difference between the two people, they somehow found common language on the train.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t traveled far much.

In comparison, Xia Lulu and Gray seem to be disgusted with each other.

One didn't like the pervert who might take off his clothes at any time, and the other felt that he couldn't talk to this "female harpy". In the harmonious and cold atmosphere, the train arrived at Harugeon Station.

Rhodes took his things and said, "Get off the bus, Wendy, don't forget to bring your things."

"Okay~" Wendy turned around and showed her small backpack to Rhodes.

"Want me to carry it for you?"

"I can do it myself."

Gray stuffed the plan he had been reading all the way into his bag and asked Xia Lulu, "When did they become so close?"

"Who knows?" Xia Lulu said, "Isn't he usually a person who is very good at deceiving girls?"

Gray shook his head: "How could that be? It's not Loki."

But I heard that Rhodes was interested in Mira... Gray was a little curious about what would have happened two years ago.

Rhodes patted Wendy's shoulder and pointed behind him.

Wendy turned around and looked at them, and said happily: "Xia Lulu, you and Mr. Gray are getting along well too, that's great."

"Who would have a good relationship with such a pervert?"

"Who would be on good terms with a guy who keeps calling people perverts?"

The two of them were disgusted with each other again, and Wendy felt a little distressed.

"Hahaha..." Rhodes laughed out loud. He found that there was a bit of insincereness in Gray's character.

"Okay, go buy the boat ticket."

Gray strode forward, and Xia Lulu quickened her pace to pass Rhodes and Wendy because of a sullen look, and ended up walking in the same row with Gray again.

Then the two looked at each other, slowed down together, accelerated together, and stopped together to wait for the other to go first...

"What on earth do you want?"

"You are the one, right?!"

Xia Lulu was so angry that she flew up and fell into Wendy's arms.

Gray seemed unhappy as well, and went to buy three tickets at a crab-like pace.

Rhodes pointed to the ticket office and asked Gray to pick up his clothes while he looked at the ticket. "The boat doesn't leave until an hour later. Let's go buy something?"

Lunch must be eaten on the boat today. Rod saw that Gray's bag didn't look like he had any food in it, and the dry food he brought with him was not enough for everyone to share, so he simply suggested going for a walk.

Magic in Hargeon is not as popular as in Magnolia, and even wizards are rarely seen.

Gray was quite familiar with this place. He took a few people shopping efficiently. He said he had been here before for a mission.

According to him, there is only one store that sells magic props in the entire city.

However, this is a port city, and its most developed industries are fishing and transportation. Compared with Magnolia, it is another kind of prosperity.

Several people followed Gray to go shopping inefficiently, mainly because there were a few other curious kids who wanted to see everything.

Rhodes had never been here before, and Wendy didn't stay for long because she was worried that she would miss the magical parade.

Xia Lulu was the type who wanted to see it but was too embarrassed to show her curiosity openly.

Seeing the two fish that Xia Lulu asked Wendy to buy, Rod observed a second of silence for Habby.

It seems that it’s not that he doesn’t like fish, but that he doesn’t like the fish that Hobbit gave him.

This child's emotional journey might be even more difficult than Mr. Luo's.

"Let's buy some more snacks, pine nuts, almonds, dried sweet potatoes, um...how about some pickled plums... hm?"

Rhode held a red prune in his hand and watched Wendy retreat ten meters away on her legs. She hid behind the wall and poked her head out to look at him.

Wendy tried to say, "I...I'm fine!"

OK, got it, there is a problem, and it is a big one.

Rod put the prunes back and bought only a few other dried and preserved fruits.

Is this child afraid of sour things or does he hate plums?
