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

Chapter 122 Gray is still a versatile person

The next day, Rhodes woke up early.

Since coming into this world, his habit of staying in bed has been corrected because he has to go to work every day.

The experience of being in the same room with Gray is pretty good. Apart from his awful sleeping posture and his preference for sleeping naked, he doesn't have any strange problems.

Unlike Natsu, who not only has an ugly sleeping posture, but also snores very loudly, and sometimes even snores with small flames.

When I sleep with him, I always worry that he will have a nightmare and set the house on fire.

Gray also woke up quickly. He threw off the quilt and stood up, rubbing his eyes and preparing to go out.

"Don't move!" Rhodes shouted, rushing to the door and grabbing the door handle before him.

Gray said dazedly, "Rod, do you want to go to the bathroom too?"

"Put on your clothes first!"

Gray looked down and said, "Oh, I almost forgot."

Something almost happened early in the morning.

After solving their personal problems, the two went out for a simple morning exercise.

When I came back, Wendy was already reading a thick magic book with great energy, while Xia Lulu... was making breakfast.

I forgot to ask this question last night. Is it Xia Lulu who cooks at Wendy's house?
"Good morning, Mr. Gray, Mr. Rhodes."

"morning."

"Good morning, Wendy. Are you in such a hurry to read this book?" Rhode said, "Don't forget what Grandma Polyusica said. Don't force yourself to practice."

"Yes, I remember. But this is the magic that Grandine left for me. I want to learn it before I meet her, or at least remember it."

The little girl's expectant smile sparkled in the sun.

Perhaps she was hoping that once she had learned the secret of dragon slaying, she would be able to meet Grandine?

"Come on."

"It's time for dinner!" Xia Lulu came to call everyone to eat, and she looked like she wasn't in good spirits.

"Xia Lulu, didn't you sleep well?" Rhodes felt a little strange asking the host whether he slept well as a guest.

"It's nothing, just a nightmare." Xia Lulu glared at Gray.

Should I tell them that I couldn't sleep well at night because I was worried about some pervert?
Gray was puzzled. This little cat was quite vindictive. It was just because he said something like cat tongue yesterday.

“Thanks for the treat, it tastes great.”

"Humph, I didn't do it just for you guys."

"Even so, I'm still grateful. See you in a few days." Rhodes picked up his bag and took his own suitcase.

Gray also put on his bag and carried the tent that Xia Lulu had borrowed: "Thank you for your hospitality."

After walking two steps, Gray suddenly stopped again: "Thank you for the tent, and the breakfast is really delicious."

Xia Lulu's expression suddenly became very interesting: "W-what? Suddenly... I'm so annoyed!"

Wendy also smiled and said, "Xia Lulu's cooking is delicious."

"Wendy!"

Rod turned around at the critical moment and luckily saw the excitement.

To deal with tsundere, you still have to use a straight ball.

This guy Gray, even ice magic can't freeze his warm heart.

……

The two left the small village of Hiruwellin and headed for the mountains separately on a river crab.

From today on, we will advance deeper into the mountains while searching, and camp in the mountains at night.

Rhodes and Gray randomly found a group of people from the Council to check in.

Release the river crabs and shadow wolves to search in front of them, and release more wild monsters after they are out of their sight.

Rhodes is in a very contradictory state now. He is working hard but also slacking off. This is the joy of a summoning magician.

When he was bored, he could also spar with Gray. Gray had learned more fighting skills than Rhode, whether it was boxing, grappling, wrestling, or weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds, this kid knew a little bit of everything.

The reason for learning these things seems to be to facilitate his modeling magic.

Anyone who can make his own weapons is willful.

Since the Council sent quite a few people, the search progressed much faster than Rhodes had expected before he arrived.

It’s a pity that we didn’t gain anything on this day, but we did enjoy the barbecue.

It's really convenient to be able to use word magic to start a fire, and with Gray around, there's no need to worry about forest fires.

When they set up camp at night, the two of them, at the invitation of Captim, set up their tent in the middle of the Council's team.

"The stick, that one, hold it, tie a knot here..."

Well, Rod didn't know how to set up a tent, so he had to rely on Gray's guidance.

But it's good this way, I learned new skills.

When camping in the mountains, you have to be careful of snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc., but the team from the Council of Experts was fully prepared and brought this year's latest insect repellent.

Rhodes had seen an advertisement for it in Wizard Weekly in the summer, but he had never been willing to buy it.

I can just get a little bit this time, and Gray can keep what he brought for later use.

This kind of life continued until the third morning.

Rod used 3D text magic to create water for himself and Gray to wash.

Afterwards, I followed Captim to eat some bread for breakfast and started a new day's work.

He released the river crabs and shadow wolves as usual, and then played cards, fought, and meditated.

Near noon, I suddenly felt a shadow wolf returning to Summoner's Rift on its own initiative.

This is a signal that a suspicious target has been discovered.

Shadow Wolves are different from River Crabs and cannot share vision, so this is the only way to communicate silently.

Rhode immediately summoned the shadow wolf again: "How many people are there on the other side?"

The shadow wolf scratched the ground with its claws and saw ten of them.

"Where's the location?"

The Shadow Wolf drew and gestured for a while, and it seemed a little far away.

"Let's go, report, and then get ready to call it a day."

Rhodes sent back the other wild monsters, summoned a river crab again, and then called Gray to find Captim together.

The unimportant luggage was temporarily left at yesterday's camp, and Rhodes only carried one bag.

On the way, he took out a magic book and two exploding magic crystals and stuffed them into Gray's hands: "You should know how to use this thing, right?"

Gray was shocked: "The bag you always carry with you contains these?!"

"Yeah, just in case."

Gray was not as cooperative as Mira: "Forget it, I don't need it."

"Okay, whatever you say." Rhodes put his things away. It wasn't their turn to fight anyway.

After Kaputin learned about the situation, he immediately assembled a team and asked Rhodes to help lead the way.

Keptim warned his subordinates: "We only found ten people, but there may be more in reality. Brother Zat may have brought the entire guild here. Don't be careless!"

Rhodes left Shadow Wolf to lead the way and asked Hexie to go ahead and get a better understanding of the situation.

He finally confirmed: "Are you sure you don't need our help in the battle?"

"No need. As long as we can determine his whereabouts, even if the entire guild of the Naked Bandage Man is here, we will have a way to deal with him."

Kaputin said seriously, "Please be sure to comply with the two additional requirements, otherwise what awaits you will not only be the issue of compensation."

"I promise not to disturb you." Rhodes was too lazy to cause trouble.
