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

Chapter 129 Going home

Having accepted the strange agreement for some unknown reason, the two left Robinlu's tent in confusion.

Rhode said depressedly: "Do all older people talk in such a vague way?"

Gray also frowned: "What is destined to perish? The magic of light will foolishly shine brightly... I don't understand it at all."

"When asked, he won't tell me. When asked, he won't give me details. It's so annoying..."

Rhode only knew that Wendy would most likely be a member of Fairy Tail in the future, which meant that something unexpected would happen to the Cat Transformation Inn.

Just like Robinlu said, it can't be sustained.

Was it financial difficulties, or was it an attack by a dark guild similar to the Naked Bandage Man?

No matter what, the disappearance of the Cat Inn is too cruel for Wendy. I wonder if there is any way to stop it.

Even if it might lead to her not joining Fairy Tail... so what?

Wendy’s favorite place is the Cat Inn. It doesn’t mean that we can’t make friends even if we are not in the same guild.

Later, Xia Lulu found Rhodes and Gray while Wendy was reading a book: "Did the president tell you about Wendy?"

Rhodes asked, "How did you know?"

"Because he talked to Wendy a few days ago." Xia Lulu said, "What was your response?"

Gray said as a matter of course: "Of course we have to respect Wendy's wishes. It is everyone's freedom to join any guild."

"Humph, you're not that annoying." Xia Lulu glanced at Gray, then immediately turned her head and added, "If you can put on your clothes properly."

"what?!"

……

The next morning, although Wendy was reluctant, Rod and Gray had to go back.

Of course, I plan to buy some local specialties in Rhodes to bring back as gifts.

The specialties here are clothing, cloth and other fabrics, as well as some hand-woven items and wooden products.

It is said that these things use ancient weaving and carving techniques that have been passed down for hundreds of years and are very commemorative.

In fact, the enthusiastic villagers planned to give it away for free, saying that they produced a lot, and since the village had a small population, they simply could not use it all.

But he didn't feel comfortable taking anything for free, so he only accepted a few gifts from Wendy and Xia Lulu, and paid for the rest.

Those who didn't have enough money even borrowed some from Gray and returned with their rewards.

I did this because I have always been taken care of by everyone and have never given anything in return.

The feeling is probably similar to getting the first month's salary after graduation and wanting to buy some gifts for your family.

When I accompanied Mira to the capital, I didn't have enough money and was embarrassed to ask her for a loan; when I teamed up with Natsu, there was nothing special in that small village; this time, the opportunity was finally right.

A seasoned man like Gray doesn't have as many worries as he does. It would be awkward to bring gifts to someone on purpose.

And he has little interest in things like fabrics and clothes.

When Rhodes came, he brought a backpack and a suitcase, and when he left, he brought an even bigger suitcase.

Gray said unhappily, "Why do you want me to help you get the things you bought?"

"It's inconvenient for me, why don't you help me carry this." Rhodes handed the small bag to Gray.

Gray chose to stay away from him. Who would want to take all this explosives?
Wendy, Xia Lulu, President Robinlu and several villagers sent them to the village entrance.

Robinlu just stood with his hands behind his back, looking at them with a smile, and didn't say much.

Wendy's tears welled up in her eyes: "Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Gray, will you come again in the future?" Rhodes touched Wendy's head: "I will come to play again when I have time. Wendy can also come to Magnolia to play with us."

"That's it." Gray squatted down and talked to Xia Lulu, looked at Rhode and Wendy, and said with a smile, "Do you need that kind of comfort?"

Xia Lulu said disdainfully: "No need, stay away from me, and put on your clothes properly, or you might be caught by the security team as a pervert."

Gray said helplessly: "You actually said such a thing at this time."

Rhode said, "It's not Xia Lulu's fault. You really should put on your clothes properly, including your pants."

"..."

Rhodes was so tired, he was almost tired of saying the same thing.

The touching atmosphere of farewell was ruined by this person.

The journey back was safe and sound; the biggest difficulty was keeping an eye on Gray.

After several unsuccessful attempts and being considered a perverted companion, Rhodes chose to stay away from him.

One of the two guys disliked the other because he might explode at any time, and the other disliked the other because he might take off all his clothes at any time. After Wendy and Xia Lulu were no longer with them, they finally began to dislike each other.

However, in order to avoid causing a disturbance, Rhodes summoned Worm and asked it to follow Gray and pick up the clothes.

It is a reasonable setting for pets to help pick up dropped items.

However, Worm objected to this. He hadn't been called out to play for so many days, and now he wanted it to work as soon as he was called?

Rhodes took out the 'salary' and the two sides reached an agreement.
-
"Welcome back!"

After many days, seeing Mira's sweet smile again makes people feel very kind.

"I'm back!" Rhodes temporarily placed all his luggage at the counter. "I feel exhausted after being away for a year."

Gray said calmly: "It's not that exaggerated, and haven't we been playing for the last two days?"

"You don't understand. This is called travel fatigue, and it needs to be healed with the smiles and care of your family."

Rhodes relaxed, holding his chin with one hand, and found an excuse to look at Mira a few more times.

"Thank you for your hard work." Mira poured two glasses of water and pushed them to Rhodes and Gray. She watched them drink them all in one gulp, then shouted upstairs, "President, Rhodes and Gray are back!"

Makarov jumped down from the second floor nimbly, not looking like an 87-year-old man at all: "Yo, you two have worked hard."

"President, please walk up the stairs carefully." Mira pouted behind the counter, looking very cute.

"I know, I know." Makarov responded to Mira in a perfunctory manner like a scolded student responding to his teacher.

"I already know the situation of the mission. You two did a great job. I actually..."

Makarov wanted to wipe away his tears while speaking, "I was actually praised by the Council, wuwuwu... That's great, I did a great job!"

Rhode didn't expect the president to react so strongly: "He shouldn't be so excited, right?"

Mira covered her mouth and laughed: "The president was happy all day yesterday, and his walking posture was more powerful than usual."

The more Mira said this, the more Rhode felt that the president was sad. He should stop causing trouble for the president in the future...

Well, put the exploding magic crystal in the bag back first, to prevent it from exploding later.

Gray felt a little ashamed. He thought that he would take some responsibility for what the president had done and would never take off his clothes randomly again!
Rhode decided to let the president vent for a while, picked up his backpack and went to the warehouse, leaving a sentence before leaving:
"Gray, clothes."

"Oh."
