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

Chapter 297 Mr. Rhodes is too reliable
Romeo left crying and punched the president in the face before leaving.

Makarov refused to launch a large-scale search and rescue operation just because one wizard did not return on time.

Rhodes felt that this kid had a future. At such a young age, he defeated the Ten Saint Wizards head-on in grief and anger.

"Really."

Makarov would not be angry with the child because of such a small matter, but he was a little worried in his heart after hearing the child's fuss.

But unless you actively ask for help like Rhodes and Elfman did, interfering with other people's missions without permission would be considered an act of disrespect for them.

Moreover, it is not certain that Macao is in danger.

In the eyes of most people in the guild, with his experience and strength, it would be no problem for him to deal with a few Valkens.

Even Rhodes didn't think there was anything wrong, because detailed information about monsters, climate, and terrain was provided.

When he was looking for someone to practice with, he had been hit by that purple flame. That uncle was very powerful.

But if Romeo was so worried, Rhode wouldn't mind quietly releasing some wild monsters to see what happens.

"Mira, I..."

Bang!
Natsu had already chosen a good job, but now he suddenly threw the task list into the notice board.

This behavior caused dissatisfaction from Nabu, the guardian of the bulletin board, but Natsu had already left without looking back.

"Natsu..." Happy chased after him, holding a half-eaten grilled fish in his mouth.

Lucy was sitting at the front desk drinking a drink, planning to ask Mira about renting a house nearby.

But his thoughts were interrupted by Natsu: "What's wrong with Natsu?"

"You're thinking of yourself, right? Natsu's father also disappeared suddenly." Mira said, "It should be said that he was an adoptive father. He was a dragon."

Lucy was shocked: "What?!"

Mira told Lucy about Natsu's life story.

"Natsu is a very impulsive person, so Lucy, can I ask you for a favor?"

"You want me to help Natsu? No problem!" Lucy was very positive. She turned her head and put her hand in front of her mouth and whispered softly.
"Miss Mirajane asked me personally. If I succeed this time, I might be able to replace Mr. Rhodes and become the strongest newcomer!
No, he is no longer a rookie, so isn't I the strongest rookie?"

Lucy thought of the moment when she first joined the guild and was praised by everyone, and she laughed happily.

Rhode said helplessly to Mira: "It feels like there's another idiot in the guild."

Are all the protagonists so stupid?

Mira patted Rod and told him not to talk nonsense.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Lucy." Mira thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Come to my house when you have time, and let me entertain you."

Lucy agreed immediately: "Okay! It's a deal!"

Her fan mentality has not yet adjusted, and her heart is filled with excitement. She can go to Miss Mirajane's house to play!
"Come on, I'll give you a ride."

"Take me there?" Lucy followed Rhodes to the entrance of the guild in a daze.

"Summon, Canyon Swift Crab!"

As Lucy watched in shock, two large green crabs appeared on the street.

"Astral magic? Cancer... No, I have Keisha of Cancer here." Lucy touched the keychain on her waist. "But, open two doors at the same time?"

"My magic is different from the Celestial Spirit Magic. We'll talk about it when we get back. Anyway, let's go after Natsu first. He can't ride in a carriage."

"Yes……"

Mira smiled and reminded: "Be careful under your skirts, Rhodes can get a full view of their surroundings."

"Huh?!" Lucy nervously pressed down her skirt.

"This sentence is redundant. I will never do such a perverted thing." Rhodes pulled Mira's face as punishment.
"Besides, Mount Hakobei is a snowy mountain. She would have put on long pants and a cotton coat before going there, right?"

"Is...is that so?" Lucy's eyes were vague. She obviously hadn't expected this. Not to mention changing it, she didn't even plan to bring it with her.

"..." What a fool. Rhode said helplessly, "Go get it quickly. I'll get you something else." The president, who was preparing to steal a drink at the counter, immediately closed his eyes and pretended to sleep when he saw Rhode's figure. He turned a blind eye when he saw him slipping away with his arms bulging.

"Isn't this a super expensive magic book? And it's not available in magic shops at all!" Lucy was shocked. Such an expensive thing was stuffed directly into her hands!
"Use it when you are in danger. No matter how expensive the magic book is, it is not as important as your life." Rhodes said.
"If Makao would listen to me and take the magic book, I wouldn't bother worrying about him now."

Lucy set off on the river crab with mixed feelings.

She felt that she had learned a lot of things today, and she didn't know where to start writing in her diary.

After sending out two mobile wards, Rhode felt more at ease. He could broadcast the movements of Natsu and Lucy to the president and Mira later.

The downside is that you can't hear what they say.

Rhodes thought about it and sent another group of shadow wolves, instructing them not to show up when there was no battle, but to come out to help when there was a battle and follow Natsu's command.

……

When Natsu was about to rent a carriage, he saw a familiar big crab and was delighted.

I'm worried that I don't have money to rent a car, and it would be uncomfortable to ride in a car.

but……

"Why you? Where's Rod?"

Lucy said angrily, "Why do you look so disgusted? I came here specially to help you!"

Habib said bluntly: "Love, because Rod is more reliable."

"I'll pull out your beard, kitten."

"Hee..." Natsu suddenly laughed. Even though Rhodes didn't come, he was still worried about Makao.

But it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come for this kind of thing, having the big crab here is enough.

Natsu rode on it skillfully and grabbed the crab's tentacles: "Let's go, charge!"

"There are obviously two of them, why are you pushing me away?"

Lucy was almost knocked down by Natsu. She grabbed Natsu's backpack tightly, and because of the rapid sprint of the crab, she fluttered in the wind like a flag:
"Slow down!"

However, Happy rode another river crab and passed by, "Let's race, Natsu."

"Come on, harpy!"

"No!!!" Lucy's screams drifted in the wind.

Meanwhile, Rod, who broadcast live to Mira every once in a while, said: "They are getting along very well and have started playing games happily."

Mira smiled and said, "That's great."

……

The two river crabs ran all the way at the urging of Natsu and Happy, and their speed was much faster than that of an ordinary carriage.

Soon he led the three of them into the cold wind of Mount Hakobei.

Lucy, who was shivering with cold, couldn't help but sigh as she put on her cotton coat: "Fortunately, I listened to Mr. Rhodes."

Natsu showed an annoyed expression: "Didn't that guy also tell you a lot of things you can't do?"

"No, he just told me to bring clothes and gave me..." Lucy paused and asked, "Does Mr. Rhodes like to be long-winded?"

"It feels like he would have a hundred plans to find a lost kitten."

Although Natsu occasionally wanted to team up with Rhodes and had been somewhat influenced by him in recent months, it did not mean that he liked Rhodes' style.

Happy said, "Love! Rod is very reliable. If you team up with him, you don't have to think about anything except fighting. And even Natsu can't sabotage it."

What touched Lucy was the last half sentence: "If you put it that way, it's really reliable."

"What did you say? Next time you team up with him, I'll sabotage you!"

Lucy exhaled a breath of white air and complained: "There is no need to prove this kind of thing..."
