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

Chapter 274: Can't I just lie to you?
"Sister, Rhodes, be careful on the road..."

"Hmm?" Mira tilted her head and looked at him, as if waiting for Elfman's instructions.

"Nothing." Elfman suddenly remembered that these two men were better fighters and smarter than him.

Mira laughed: "I know, I will remember to eat on time when I'm not around."

The care from loved ones can make people feel warm, and this has nothing to do with strength or intelligence.

"Man!" Elfman left on his own.

But a few seconds later, he came back with an umbrella: "Sister, it's raining outside, remember to bring an umbrella and spare clothes."

"Good~"

After he left, Rod helped Mira clean up the dishes.

He washed the dishes in the kitchen while Mira wiped the table and swept the floor outside before changing clothes and getting ready to leave.

Mira slung the lunch box over her arm and handed the luggage to Rhodes.

Rhodes packed up his luggage but didn't help her get the lunch box. He felt it would be more elegant if she carried it this way.

Mira took out an umbrella and asked Rhodes, "Did you bring it?"

Rhodes squeezed beside her: "I didn't bring it."

Mira looked at him: "Really didn't bring it?"

Rhodes looked at the ceiling: "I really didn't bring it."

Liar, Mira handed him the umbrella in her hand and deliberately said, "There is a spare umbrella at home, I will get it."

But before she left, Rhode used the magic of changing clothes to put away the umbrella in his hand and said calmly:

"I just checked and this umbrella is broken. I'll throw it away for you later. Let's use the spare umbrella."

Mira slapped Rhodes unhappily. How much did this man want to stick to her?
She couldn't help laughing and took Rhodes' arm: "Let's go."

Only then did Rhodes take out the umbrella again.

The two of them snuggled together, held up an umbrella and walked into the rain. The fine raindrops fell on the umbrella, which sounded very pleasant.

After walking a short distance, both of them found that it was easy to get wet.

Rhodes chose to tilt the umbrella towards Mira.

Mira chose to turn herself towards Rhodes.

She thought about it and still felt that something was wrong, so she lifted Rhodes' arm again and let him put his arm around her shoulders.

……

This kind of weather is definitely not suitable for traveling by river crab, but fortunately there are still many carriages waiting to be rented.

It's a bit sad to say the least, because you can earn more on rainy days.

All kinds of horses were temporarily stored in the stable, and only the coachmen were waiting outside for work.

Most of them wear raincoats and bamboo hats, while the more retro ones wear straw raincoats and bamboo hats.

To be honest, Rhodes really wanted to try what it felt like to wear a straw raincoat.

The two men chose a carriage that looked the best protected from rain.

After agreeing on the price, the driver asked them to get in the carriage first while he went to get the horses and harness the carriage.

Rhodes noticed that the horses were also wearing special cloaks to protect them from the rain.

"Thank you for your hard work." Rhodes blurted out.

The driver was stunned for a moment, then responded, "You are the ones who have a hard time. I heard that being a wizard is very dangerous."

Rhodes smiled and said, "It's okay. Just be careful."

Mira grabbed Rod's hand.

Rhodes touched her head.

Mira shook her head gently to indicate that it was okay.

"You guys are Fairy Tail wizards, right? I didn't expect you to be so approachable."

The driver was busy harnessing the carriage while talking, and because of the rain, he had to raise his voice a little.

Rhode asked, "Isn't it the same for other wizards?"

"I've met a few of them. How should I put it? They're quite arrogant."

"It seems you are not from Magnolia anymore."

"Yes, I came here from Ogu City yesterday..."

It is not surprising that Ogu City is where the ruler of the phantom ghosts resides.

Although he was just an ordinary person, Rhodes decided to be on guard against him.

"Okay, please sit tight, we'll be off soon." To prevent heavy rain, the driver reminded them to close the windows.

But this would interrupt the conversation. The carriages of this type of train are not connected to the front, so if you want to talk you can only shout, which is too tiring.

The rain outside seemed to be getting a little heavier, and it was hitting the hood with a crackling sound.

The small space in the carriage seems a little dim. If you sit alone in it, you might feel a little unsafe.

Rhodes stretched out his finger, wanting to write a word representing light or fire for illumination.

But as soon as he wrote a stroke, he was caught by Mira.

"That's it." Mira grabbed Rod's hand and leaned on his shoulder.

In the small and enclosed space and dim light, it seemed as if there were only two people left in the world who could rely on each other.

This kind of atmosphere is also very good.

The carriage began to sway, and Mira felt uncomfortable leaning on his shoulder, so she adjusted her posture, put her arms around Rhodes' waist, and leaned on his chest.

After leaning on him for a while, Mira stood up, rolled her eyes at Rhodes, and then put her hand into his clothes...

Adjusted the position of the magic book inside.

Rhodes smiled awkwardly, put his arm around her shoulders and asked her to lie down.

He often wanted to play with Mira's hair, but she always slapped him on the back of her hand in disgust.

It was noon and we still hadn't encountered any villages or towns suitable for rest on the road.

Fortunately, everything was prepared. The driver drove the carriage under a big tree to temporarily shelter from the rain, took out feed to feed the horses, and carefully checked whether there was any wet spot on the horses.

After doing all this, the driver took out the rice balls and dried meat he had brought and started eating.

Rhodes and Mira shared a cup of hot water with him, and nothing else was necessary.

They continued their journey in the afternoon and the rain gradually stopped. Rod and Mira looked out the window and saw an interesting sight of sunny weather in front and cloudy and rainy weather behind.

It seems that the rain has not stopped, but that they have walked out of the rainy area.

Mira looked out the window for a long time and said disappointedly: "It's a pity there is no rainbow."

Rhodes said, "Yes."

Mira looked at him, wondering if Rhodes was going to say something cheesy.

Rhodes just raised his hand and wrote "RAINBOW".

After the words were written, they turned into an arch shape and were dyed with seven colors.

Mira showed a surprised look.

He even created a rainbow for her.

Rod winked at her and said, "I heard from a friend that kissing when you see a rainbow will lead to a happy marriage."

Mira asked with a smile: "Is that friend you?"

"Why are you so smart? Can't you let me trick you for a bit?"

"not good."

Mira said this but still hugged him and kissed his cheek.

……

The sun was setting and we were approaching our destination, the village of Lavender.

Rhodes suddenly shouted, "Stop the car!"

The carriage slowly stopped and the two men got out.

The driver asked in confusion, "What happened? The village is almost here."

"I thought you might not be too eager to move on."

With the help of the river crab's vision, Rhodes has confirmed that the rat infestation here is extremely serious.

The river crab walking in front even had its leg bitten by a big rat that suddenly appeared.

The rat plague has developed to the point where rats are attacking other animals. No wonder a magician has to be hired to deal with it.

Rhodes summoned a group of razor-beaked birds and said to the driver:

"I suggest you leave immediately. They will escort you for a while. Of course, you can go to the village with us, but you must keep a close eye on the horse and don't scare it. What are your plans?"

"I'll go now!" The driver was quite obedient.

The wizard said that it was dangerous ahead, so he decided not to join in the fun.

Although these two look powerful, if one of them fails to protect him and his horse, he will have no place to cry.

Although he didn't encounter any villages or towns on the way, he knew there were some nearby and he could find them by just changing direction.

Ah, I can't endure this tomorrow o(╥﹏╥)o
