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

Chapter 133 Planting New Seeds
"Tomorrow... I don't have any special plans."

It is impossible to be reserved, and hesitation will lead to defeat!

"I know a restaurant with food you might like." Mira tightened her arms around her clothes, "Let's go try it together tomorrow?"

"it is good."

On the way back, Rod walked with the wind, and only when he arrived at the door of his house did he remember that he forgot to call Hexie.

It’s not a big problem, just treat it as extra practice.

Going upstairs and entering the house, Rhodes felt that he needed to do some simple cleaning.

"Come out, Worm!"

A white-furred ball slightly larger than a basketball appeared with its tongue hanging out. Its dark eyes blinked, but there was no food in front of it.

It turned around but didn't see any dining table around.

But this environment seems a little familiar, oh, I'm home.

"Hululu~~" Although there was no food, Worm was still a little excited.

"I'm glad you're so energetic. I was just about to clean up, you see..."

"Huh..." Worm lay on his side with his tongue hanging out, looking like 'This Poro is dead, please do not disturb me'.

If you don’t want to do it, forget it. Last time I decided not to use it to help me clean the bottom of the bed.

It wasn't a lot of work anyway, so Rhodes simply wiped off the dust and took Worm to take a shower.

Taking a cold shower in this weather is a bit of a torture, so I have to boil some hot water.

The 3D text magic can help a little, but it is not convenient enough. I will go buy a special magic crystal tomorrow.

When going to bed, Rod discovered a new use for Worm. The little guy's body was warm, and holding it at night was more comfortable than any hot water bottle or heat pad.

Wait until the weather gets colder and use it to warm the bed every day. No matter how cold it is here, it is still far colder than the Howling Abyss.

……

Goodman did not come to do business in the morning.

I don’t know if it’s because business was so good in the past few days that he wants to take a vacation now, or if he’s studying new carving techniques at home.

Most of the holiday decorations at other businesses on the street have been taken down, and compared to the festival, the street feels a bit deserted.

Rod changed into autumn clothes, blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and a beige long-sleeved jacket.

The Fairy Tail logo on the front of the T-shirt and the back of the jacket was printed by Mira herself.

I wonder if I need to show the emblem on my arm to others when I wear this kind of clothes during a mission.

"Morning, Rhodes, what's going on today?"

"Good morning, Marcus." Rhode didn't want to tell the loud speaker the main point. "Today I'm going to practice a new receiving magic. Do you want to try it?"

Marcus refused and said, "Please spare me. It would be better for you to go find Gray, right?"

Rhodes said helplessly: “I was disliked by Gray.

He said he wanted to talk more with Loki in the next two days, and that we might have to go out to work as a team in a few days, so he asked me to stay away from him. "

Marcus said, "That Loki guy still likes to hide from you, otherwise he is actually quite strong."

"Yeah, I can't figure him out. Is he close to Gray?"

"It seems that it was because I went out with Gray once and unexpectedly attracted a beautiful and bold woman."

Marcus's expression was quite interesting. "One of them thought this kind of thing was troublesome, while the other was very good at dealing with it. So their relationship became better and better."

"Ha...haha, it's Loki as expected, and Gray as expected." Rhodes expressed his admiration. These two people are really a perfect match in strange ways.

In the morning, I did some chores like wiping the table as usual.

Mr. Cook made a rare trip outside the kitchen to look for Rod - he missed Worm a little.

Rod summoned Worm to take him away, and couldn't imagine what Mr. Cook liked about Worm.

Like it to eat delicious food?

That’s good too. It’s definitely worth it to have a good relationship with the chef.

After the president arrived, Rhodes went to the yard to try to receive new wild monsters.

This time Mira also followed.

So Rhodes deliberately took a few steps back.

The target this time was the Ancient Stone Beetle. Rhode was somewhat curious whether he could have two more lives after receiving it. He summoned the Ancient Stone Beetle and placed his hand on its leg.

"take over!"

The stone beetle turned into light and disappeared. Rhodes was enveloped by the light and waited until the light disappeared.

His body had grown to two meters tall, and his body surface had turned into the color of a stone beetle, as if he was wearing a suit of stone armor.

There are lines on the front of the body and on the limbs that emit light blue light, which makes it look more technological.

Rhodes summoned the river crab and connected with its perspective to observe himself.

"Is this... Shield Mountain? His arms aren't that thick. The Fantastic Four? They're not that ugly. The Lava Monster? There aren't that many spikes on his body..."

He moved around a bit and posed in a few positions, looking pretty handsome.

Bang Bang knocked on his chest and felt that it was much harder than the one on the river crab.

"It's this style again." Makarov said, "Is it earth-attributed magic this time?"

"Hmm, it seems to be more defensive, and with the magic that comes with it, I should be able to..."

Swish!
Before he could finish his words, Rhodes sank to the ground like falling into water.

A few seconds later, a stone head popped out of the ground. It still spoke in a muffled voice, but one could hear a smile: "This magic is very interesting. It can move in the soil like swimming!"

As he spoke, Rod tried breaststroke, backstroke, freestyle...

He couldn't help but remember that Doraemon seemed to have given Nobita a prop with a similar function.

To some extent, this can be considered as the fulfillment of a small childhood dream.

That comfortable state made Mira laugh too. It was great that he had become stronger again.

Makarov looked at it for a while and shook his head: "This is not going well. I will go back first. Mira, you stay with him."

"it is good."

Mira watched Rod swimming around in the 'ground' and couldn't help but reach out a hand.

Spots of light appeared on his arms, and the magic power in his body dissipated, but unfortunately there was no change at all.

"Am I the only one who keeps marking time?"

Makarov's voice came: "Of course not, you are moving forward every day. Even if the magic has not been restored, your heart has never stopped."

"President..." Mira turned around and saw Makarov with his hands behind his back and a friendly smile on his face.

“The experience of losing a loved one is like a plowshare through our hearts and it is undoubtedly painful.

But at this time we often have two choices. We can choose to indulge in the sadness of the past, choose to rush through this land and no longer love anyone;

Or you can choose to stand up in the pain, sow new seeds as you walk through the fields, and give birth to more love.

No matter which one you choose, you will keep moving forward, and always remember that the guild and everyone is behind you."

"President..." Mira bit her lip.

Behind her, now behind her is a stone man swimming in the soil.

No, Mira turned around, the stone man had already lifted the receiving magic, and stood in front of her, looking at the president with both admiration and resentment.

Behind him... is the president, the noisy tavern, and the entire guild.

Makarov felt a little guilty about the complaints in Rod's eyes: "I just said what I felt. I didn't mean to make her cry."

"I know, otherwise I would have gone to the Council to complain about your misconduct."

"It's not that serious!"

"Then I'll tell everyone in the guild that you bullied Mira, so that everyone will despise you?"

"...You should limit my drinking with Mira."

Mira interrupted: “President, you said that yourself.”

Rhodes nodded: "Well, I heard it, I testify."

Makarov opened his mouth wide: "No!"

"It's decided." Mira laughed.

She looked at the noisy tavern and then at Rhodes.

Planting...new seeds?
