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

Chapter 151 A Little Accident
Mrs. Weiss opened the door, welcomed Rod and Elfman in, and poured them tea.

The client's family does not seem to be wealthy, but it is not to the extent that it can be described as poor.

Of course, this is just the first impression. We cannot rule out the possibility that the change came too suddenly, resulting in no change for the time being.

The person who was sick and needed the herb this time was Mr. Kalut, who was lying in his bedroom and unable to get out of bed.

According to Mrs. Weiss, Mr. Kalut was an ordinary coachman, but he liked to take on long-distance freight and passenger business.

Because it is easier to make money that way. As long as you take an order, you can rest at home for a while, instead of having to go to the market or business guild all day to find work.

He had been doing this all along, but since returning home last week, he had been ill.

In order to treat his illness, not only did they spend all their savings, they also sold their carriage and horses, but his condition did not improve.

Until yesterday, Weiss invited a famous doctor back from another place, who diagnosed that Karut had a rare epidemic disease.

His lungs were becoming diseased, presumably due to the miasma or something like that he inhaled while out and about.

To cure this disease, Divotian grass is necessary.

However, since this herb has very few uses and its growing environment is harsh, it can only be found on the Galantos Snow Mountain.

A ferocious beast called 'Labang' lives on that snowy mountain. For ordinary people, going up the mountain is like delivering takeout.

So I can only ask for help from the Wizard Guild.

"The current reward is the only money left in our family. I know it's too low to pay for such a dangerous commission, but..." Mrs. Weiss bit her lip.

"I can accept any increase, but please allow me to temporarily owe... owe... I will work hard in the future, and I will definitely pay back the shortfall as soon as possible!"

Rod looked at Weiss. The lady's face was haggard and her fingers were pale and wrinkled. She might have been doing laundry and dishes.

But there was a small stain on the corner of her clothes but she didn't change it. Maybe she didn't have time or couldn't take care of herself.

Mr. Kalut is extremely lucky to have met such a wife.

Elfman was almost moved to tears: "Mrs. Weiss, you are such a man!"

Seeing Weiss’s shocked expression, Rhodes explained, “He’s just used to praising people like this, don’t worry about it.

Regarding the remuneration, we have already accepted the commission, and unless we encounter extremely special circumstances, we will not raise the price temporarily. In short, the mission content is to find the Divotian grass as soon as possible, right?"

"Yes……"

"Please rest assured. We are quite experienced in search missions, and we have learned a lot about herbs. We will not make a mistake."

Rhodes felt that the client needed a little confidence at this time, and said calmly, "Then, let's set off now."

"Oh!" Elfman responded with great energy, a qualified atmosphere creator.

In Mrs. Weiss's eyes, one of them was steady and reliable, the other was enthusiastic and energetic, and seemed to be very capable. She felt much more relieved.

Watching Rod and Elfman walk out of the courtyard, Weiss leaned against the door frame and looked at her husband in the bedroom, a smile appearing on her tired face.

As long as Kaluut's illness is cured, everything will be fine.

She cheered herself up and decided to cook. She would at least treat the wizard well when he came back.

And it’s time for Jimmy and Hunter to come back…

"Ves! Ves!"

The anxious shouting outside made Weiss's heart almost skip a beat, and she walked out of the house to see what was going on.

Mrs. Nepol from the neighbor's house came running over breathlessly. Rod and Elfman heard someone calling the client's name and stopped for a moment. Mrs. Nepol shouted, "Weis, it's bad! Jimmy, someone saw Jimmy running to climb the snow mountain alone!"

Weiss almost fainted. She took two steps back and leaned against the wall before she could stand. "Jimmy... why did Jimmy..."

Weiss could guess the answer to this question without even having to answer it. The child must want to help his father find herbs.

This is too... too...

But Mrs. Nepol had even worse news: "Hunter is after Jimmy, too!"

Weiss felt dizzy and her body slid down the wall softly.

The sky is falling.

Her husband was bedridden, her two children were in danger at any time, and coupled with days of hard work, the poor lady's eyes gradually lost their luster.

No, nothing happened to them. If we can get them back...

"Get it back..." Weiss struggled to get up, not even bothering to wipe the dust off her clothes, and staggered towards the place.

"Weis, don't do anything stupid! You'll die if you go!"

Weiss turned a deaf ear to him, her mind full of thoughts about getting her daughter and son back.

"Hey, Rod!" Elfman was a little impatient.

"I know." Rhodes stopped Mrs. Weiss, "I can find them."

The words she most wanted to hear popped into Weiss's mind, and she looked at the calm wizard with a sad face.

"Find me two pieces of clothing they wore, or anything with their scent." Rhodes said nothing, holding his pendant, and shouted, "Shadow Wolf!"

A huge two-headed wolf and two ordinary shadow wolves suddenly appeared in the yard, scaring Mrs. Nepol so much that her legs couldn't stop shaking.

Unlike her, Weiss was not afraid at all and just stared at Rhodes.

"They have very good noses and can find your children as quickly as possible." Rhodes touched the wolf's head and repeated his previous words, "I need the children's clothes, or anything with their scent."

A calm and firm tone, and effective methods to resolve problems as quickly as possible.

Rod's words seemed to wake Mrs. Weiss from a nightmare. She ran to the siblings' room in a panic and pulled out two sheets.

"Please... please do..." Tears gathered in Mrs. Weiss's eyes, and she murmured, unable to speak.

Rhodes let the shadow wolves sniff the scent on the two sheets and waved to tell them to set off immediately.

"Please believe in the ability of the Fairy Tail wizard." Rhodes held the pendant again, "Canyon Swift Crab!"

Two river crabs appeared, and Elfman sat on them consciously. Thanks to his sister, he had ridden this thing many times.

Without waiting for Rhodes to say anything, Elfman urged Hexie to set off.

Rod rode on another river crab, turned around before leaving, and said to Mrs. Nepol in a gentle tone:

"I'm sorry to scare you, but this happened suddenly. Please allow us to come back and apologize formally. Now, could you please look after Mrs. Weiss?"

"Hmm...hmm." Mrs. Nepol nodded blankly.

Rhodes smiled at Mrs. Weiss again:

"Please prepare some hot water. It's very cold in the mountains and the children might catch a cold."
