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

Chapter 66 Who is Lisanna?
It seems that Natsu and Happy have a really good relationship. The way they pitted each other made Rod easily think of his brothers.

He asked, "Happy, when did you and Natsu meet?"

"I've known Natsu since I came out of the egg. It was in the year X778."

"That's been five years... coming out of the egg?" Rhodes noticed the blind spot.

"Ai, I was hatched from an egg by Natsu, with help from Elfman and Lisanna as well."

"A cat is..."

Rhodes wanted to say that cats are viviparous animals, but this is a cat in the magical world, and it can talk and fly, so that makes sense.

"…Who is Lisanna?"

The harpy's ears drooped and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes:

"Lisana is Mira and Elfman's sister. When she was out working last year..."

Rhode was stunned. Mira's sister? And she was already... dead?

Did Mira have a sister?

Mira would not bring this up on her own initiative, and the others, out of consideration for Mira and Elfman's feelings, were unwilling to bring it up in the guild.

So Rhodes had no way of knowing.

Last year, last year...

Did the girl who faces all her friends with a smile every day experience such sadness not too long ago?
I don’t know what kind of strong heart he has behind that smile, whether it’s because he doesn’t want his companions to worry about him.

"Sorry, Happy."

Out of selfishness, Rhodes wanted to continue asking, but Habby's look made it impossible to open his mouth.

"Natsu said that no matter what happens, we must stay strong and move on. Lisanna left, so let's take her with us."

Happy rubbed his eyes and shook his head vigorously, "I... I am also a wizard of Fairy Tail. I am also very strong."

"Habby is very strong." Rod touched Harbby's head. He was only five years old.

Besides, Natsu could say something like that...it does seem like something Natsu could say.

Rhodes looked at Natsu, but he didn't seem to react... Could he have lost consciousness?

"Natsu, Natsu?"

"Woo..."

She didn't faint, nor did she respond, only making meaningless groans.

Rhodes suggested: "How about we stop the car and rest for a while?"

"No, if we don't get to the village before dark, we'll have to spend the night in the wild. And even if we stop, we'll be in the same situation again if we start again."

Happy objected. He had long been accustomed to Natsu's behavior. Rather than making him suffer more, it would be better to make him suffer once and for all.

Rhodes asked, "Will it be like this when you take him flying?"

"Rod is too much, we are not a means of transportation!"

"Ah, sorry, that's not what I meant." Rhode said, "I meant, why don't you just take Natsu and fly over there?"

"It's too far, the magic won't last long." Habib said, "More importantly, it's very tiring, and my hands will get sore."

Is the main reason tired? What a good brother.

Rhode thought about it and called back a crab responsible for reconnaissance: "Do you want to try this?"

The coachman and the horse were well-informed and were not frightened by the sudden appearance of the monster.

"It appears, crab!" Habby looked very excited.

Natsu couldn't give any opinion, so Happy didn't ask for his opinion and just picked up Natsu and flew onto the back of the river crab.

The river crab was walking side by side with the carriage. Natsu regained his spirits in a few seconds and stomped his feet excitedly on the back of the river crab, not afraid of falling off at all:

"Ohhh~ Is this for riding? That's awesome!"

"You don't feel dizzy when you're on a river crab." Rhode stuck his head out of the car window and looked at Natsu, and asked,
"Why did you rent a carriage, then, instead of just renting a horse?"

Natsu and Happy were stunned, then they tapped their palms at the same time, "So that's how it is! It can be done this way!"

Rhodes was shocked: "Is it because you didn't expect it!?" In fact, it was not only that, but also because there were almost no people in the market who provided independent horse rental services.

Because it is difficult to deal with the issue of returning the horse after renting it out, if you can't go back for a while, you will not feel safe leaving the horse to an outsider.

There are not so many concerns when renting a horse-drawn carriage. With a coachman following you, everything will be easy.

Seeing that Natsu and Happy were both in high spirits, Rhode simply let them control the river crabs through their tentacles.

With Natsu's shout of "Charge!", the river crab instantly became a wild river crab that broke free from its reins. Under Natsu's urging, it even used its own acceleration skill.

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

River crabs ran back and forth, and the laughter of Natsu and Happy echoed in the wilderness.

The driver began to wonder, if there is such magic, why do you rent a car? Can three people sit on the crab?

However, a few minutes later, Harpy flew back on his own.

Rhodes asked, "Are you tired of playing?"

Happy lay down on the seat of the carriage listlessly, sticking out his tongue: "It's so hot~ Only Natsu is not afraid of the sun."

That's why we rented a horse-drawn carriage.

Natsu rode the crab for a long time before returning to the carriage. He shouted excitedly:
"Rod, let's continue to team up from now on!"

Rhode asked, "Just to have a river crab to ride?"

"That's right!"

"But if you want to go to a place farther away, you still have to take a train or a boat."

Natsu laughed heartlessly: "Then we won't form a group when we go far away."

"You are so realistic!"

Rhodes snapped his fingers, the river crab disappeared, and Natsu fell flat on his face due to being caught off guard.

He jumped up and shouted at the carriage: "What are you doing! Rod!"

"Oops, the magic power is exhausted! (Great reading)"

Happy actually supported Rod: "It's exhausted!"

"Natsu, just run behind the carriage!"

"Run!"

Natsu chased after them while yelling, "Stop right there, you two bastards!"

Rod and Happy looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

……

After playing around for a while, Natsu finally sat on the river crab, but his face was sour the whole time.

This bastard Rhodes... I have to find his weakness and play a good trick on him.

The same thing happened to Habby. He actually followed Rod's prank and tried to steal his grilled fish next time.

Rhodes had a good chat with the harpy, and taking advantage of the time on the road, he asked about the harpy's wing magic.

That was the magic that the harpy had mastered since birth. Rhode asked how long the harpy could fly and how much weight it could lift...

The intelligence of teammates is also very important.

Habib suddenly asked, "Rod, why don't you ask Worm to come out and play?"

"Worm doesn't like the hot weather now, so..." Rhodes was stunned.
"It's broken. I forgot the wyrm in the guild kitchen."

Because he had to cooperate with Mr. Cook in researching Poro delicacies, Rhodes sent Worm to the kitchen in the morning, but he forgot to take it with him when he left the guild.

Happy complained: "That's terrible."

"..."

It's not a big problem. Worm will go back by himself anyway, and he's been eating and drinking in the kitchen for a long time, so he's probably too happy to want to go back to the abyss.
