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

Chapter 35: Fighting and Progress

Mira reminded with a smile: "Mr. Rhodes who wants to 'prostrate himself', it's time to go to work."

Rhode nodded: "Okay, I get it. The word 'prostrated' is wrong."

Mira said: "It seems that not only magic has improved, but also the common language."

"Because you and Lucky often correct me, and Levi and Marcus help a lot..."

Rhodes paused, because the four people he mentioned, except Mira, were now lying in the yard.

"Are they okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. You'll be refreshed soon." Mira walked towards the hall, "Let's go clean up inside first."

Rhodes followed, looking back every few steps.

Just as Mira said, the companions who were beaten into the yard by the president quickly got up and dusted themselves off.

When Laqi was about to use magic to repair the wall, she was stopped by the president:

"Tell Makao and Natsu to fix the walls and windows. No magic allowed!"

Laci provided a pile of wood, gave Natsu and the others a helpless look, and then only repaired the broken tables and chairs in the guild.

The president was only angry for a moment. A few minutes later, Makao and Wakaba, who were repairing the wall, started fighting again, but he turned a blind eye.

Everyone was doing their own thing, except for Natsu, who, after hearing about the recent battle, shouted that he wanted to fight with Rhodes again.

Rhodes happily agreed, wanting to see how well he could fight against Natsu now.

After a busy lunch, it was lunch time, which Rhodes looked forward to most every day.

Today's dishes seemed to be particularly rich. In addition to the two plates of vegetarian dishes brought by Rhodes, Mira and Laqi each brought two plates of large dishes.

The raw marinated prawns, with their heads facing inwards and their bodies facing outwards, are neatly spread out around the edge of the plate, eye-catching.

Raw pickled crab roe. The crab roe after pickling is different from the one cooked directly by steaming. It is red and looks like it has solidified.

The crab roe and crab meat lie quietly in the opened crab shell, making people salivate.

Seafood omelette, a whole omelette covers the large round plate, with a circle of clam meat neatly arranged on the edge, other shellfish meat piled in the middle, and green leeks can be seen underneath.

The various ingredients are perfectly blended together by the omelet, like a blooming sunflower.

The last one is the crab roe and shrimp casserole porridge. As soon as you open the lid, the fresh aroma hits your nose, making you salivate.

Worm lay on the edge of the table with his eyes wide open. He was a polite Poro and would not move unless given permission.

At best, he stuck out his tongue and drooled pitifully.

Rhode was almost unable to control his cravings. "Is today's theme seafood? Why is it so rich?"

Laqi said, "Because Sister Mira said she wanted to celebrate for you, she specially asked Mr. Cook to make his specialty."

Mr. Cook is the head chef of the Guild's kitchen. It is said that he has been working here for more than 20 years. Almost every delicacy that Rhodes has eaten here is his work.

"This... is too disrespectful." Rhodes' eyes were already fixed on the delicious food on the table, and he couldn't look away.

"Is it 'excuse me'?" Mira went to fetch three more glasses of azure blue wine, put them down and sat down, "Three glasses of blue starry sky, Kana's treat."

Rhode and Lacy looked at the table next to them. Kana was sitting on the table, holding a wine barrel and leaning sideways to signal them to "raise the barrel".

The three of them raised their glasses together to signal Kana, then clinked their glasses and each took a sip.

"Sweet?" Rhodes tasted it carefully. Compared with food, he didn't know much about wine. The taste felt a bit like RIO, but smoother and more alcoholic. Mira said, "This is wine from the neighboring country Bosco. It's a bit expensive due to transportation and tariff issues, but it tastes good.

The downside is that the alcohol content is too low, which is not to Kana's taste. It's fine as long as you like it."

"It's delicious, thank you!"

Rhodes put down his wine glass and began to taste today's delicious food.

First up are the raw marinated prawns. The shrimp meat is so glutinous that it even feels a little sticky to your teeth. The taste is very different from steamed shrimps.

Its natural sweetness becomes more obvious against the backdrop of the marinade, and the overall taste is fresh but not fishy, ​​and very delicious.

The other dishes also have their own characteristics. With every bite, you can even feel the passion that the chef puts into his work.

Rod savored every dish carefully and praised it highly.

"I think Mr. Cook will like you very much." Mira smiled. There were many people in the guild who liked to eat, but Rhodes was the only one who could talk about it and appreciate it so well.

"Haha..." Rhodes said embarrassedly, "Actually... I think Mr. Cook is too serious. I don't dare to speak when I look at his face."

"That's because Mr. Cook takes everything related to cooking very seriously. And..."

Mira thought of the past and said with some nostalgia,

“When Happy was still little, he once dragged Natsu to the kitchen to find fish to eat, but he accidentally knocked over the seasoning jar and ruined a lot of ingredients.

As a result, Mr. Cook chased them for three blocks with a knife and beat up Naz.

From then on, Naz and Happy never dared to enter the kitchen again, and Mr. Cook also developed the habit of staring seriously at everyone who entered the kitchen. "

"...So that's how it is." Rhodes nodded heavily, worthy of being the chef of Fairy Tail.

Next time, I must be extra careful when going to the kitchen, and communicate through the food delivery counter unless necessary.

Laqi looked at Mira and felt a little happy. Sister Mira actually took the initiative to bring up what happened at that time. Maybe she has gotten over it a little bit, right?
Natsu wasn't the only one who accompanied Happy to find fish and was chased for several blocks.

……

In the afternoon, Rod fought with Natsu again.

——I should have looked for Kana, but she drank too much and could hardly stand. She was hugging the wine barrel and talking in her sleep.

Natsu's destructive power is much stronger than Jet's. One move of "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist" can break one of the legs of a stone beetle.

The move "Roar of the Fire Dragon" can blow the ancient stone beetle backwards, or even split it twice.

That is to say, after burrowing into the ground, breaking out of the ground and launching a surprise attack can cause some trouble to Natsu.

But unlike Jet who was clamped and unable to exert force, Natsu's whole body would be on fire, and the powerful heat would directly send the stone beetle away.

Such an obvious contrast made it difficult for Rhodes to determine the stone beetle's defensive power for a moment.

Is this strong or not?
Natsu's breath should be a very powerful magic, right?

In this battle, Rhodes achieved unprecedented results. Relying on the advantage in numbers, he made Natsu lose his balance and almost fell.

It was a pity that before he could chase her, he reacted, supported himself on the ground, turned over, and caught the "fire dragon's hook" to successfully resolve the crisis.

In close combat, Rhode was no longer powerless. He fought with Natsu for several rounds before turning into a 'tough guy' fight with each other again.

This thrilling fist-to-flesh fight moved Elfman to tears and he almost joined the battle.
