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

Chapter 67: Would you eat your own wild monsters?

The sun gradually moved westward, becoming larger and larger, its color began to change to orange, and its light became softer.

On a flat road that has no noticeable curvature when viewed from close up, but appears to be winding when viewed from a distance, a two-horse carriage is moving forward slowly.

There was also a huge crab wandering around the carriage, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes far, sometimes near.

There are golden wheat fields on the roadside, but because there is little wind today, there is no sight of rolling waves of wheat.

The man and the cat who leaned their heads out of the carriage window were not disappointed, and they quietly enjoyed the beautiful countryside scenery.

"Hey~ I see the mountain, we're almost there!"

The one who broke the silence was the cherry-haired boy on the crab's back, "Uncle driving the bus, hurry up!"

Happy complained, "Natsu is so noisy."

Rhodes nodded: "Yeah, you don't understand romance at all."

Natsu was immediately annoyed by the two people singing the same tune, and he made a threatening gesture on the crab's back: "When did you two become so close?!"

Rod said, "When you get carsick."

"Pfft~" Habib tried to hold back his laughter, "And the time when you fell like a dog eating shit."

"Assholes, stop the car! I'm going to make you pay!" Natsu was so angry that his throat was filled with fire.

After a while of noise, Rhodes suddenly became serious:

"Natsu, there are wild boars about 5 to 6 meters ahead. Five, no, six!"

"Oh~~~Can you see that far?"

Natsu stood up on the back of the river crab and tried his best to look far away, but the road was not straight and was restricted by the terrain and wheat fields, so he could not see anything.

"How about you try to see if you can smell the stench of a wild boar?"

Rhode said casually and Natsu did it immediately.

He tilted his head back slightly, his nostrils twitching: "I smell it! Leave it to me!"

Natsu pulled the crab's tentacles and said, "Go!"

"Naz!" Rhodes wanted to say that he had a plan to kill the pig, but Naz rushed too fast and he couldn't knock him down again.

Happy said, "Don't worry, Natsu will be fine as far as the boar is concerned."

Rhodes said: "I'm worried that he will burn down all the farmland."

"Love, that does sound like something Natsu would do."

"Answer the call, Ancient Stone Beetle!"

Rhodes sent out two groups of stone beetles and told them to follow Naz, ready to... dig firebreaks to reduce losses to farmland.

"唏伦~"

The driver stopped the horse and said, "Sorry, there are wild animals ahead. The horses are afraid to go any further."

Rhodes got out of the car and took a look. There were indeed signs of wild beasts wreaking havoc in the wheat fields beside the road. Perhaps the residual smell made the horses afraid to move forward.

"Let's stop here. The village isn't far away." Rod said, "Happy, get off the car!"

"Aisa!" Happy flew out, holding Natsu's backpack and Rod's suitcase in his hands.

Considering that there were traces of wild beasts nearby, Rhodes summoned another group of razor-beaked birds and asked them to escort the carriage for a short distance.

Seeing the flames rising not far away, Rhodes and Happy quickly rushed towards Natsu.

It was less than a kilometer away and it would take at most a few minutes to run there, and that was because of the luggage that held me back.

And in just these few minutes, Natsu had already resolved the battle.

Six wild boars of different sizes lay quietly on the ground, and the flames in the wheat field had not yet completely extinguished.

Fortunately, the stone beetles dug out a buffer zone, so the fire did not spread to more areas.

"Ahahahaha..." Natsu, the culprit, put his hands on his hips and laughed heartlessly, "Now you know how powerful I am, you stupid boar!"

Happy flew over with Natsu's luggage: "Natsu~"

"Happy, Rod, you're too late. I've already dealt with them all! Ahahahaha..."

He was very proud, as if he had won a three-person hunting competition.

Happy said, "Natsu is very strong, but you almost burned down the entire wheat field."

"It wasn't burned." "That's because of Rod's digging worms."

"It's a stone beetle." Rhodes corrected him and said to Natsu,
"Please, can you please think carefully when using fire in places like farmland, woodlands, and villages?"

"I've thought it through." Natsu waved his fist, with a little flame on it. "This much fire is just enough to get rid of the wild boar."

Rhodes said angrily: "I asked you to think about the consequences and not burn the farmland!"

"Aren't you still here?" Natsu said with a grin, "Mira was right when she asked you to join a team!"

Even if you trust me so much, even if you mention Mira, I...

"No." Rhode found himself almost being tricked by Natsu.
"Don't build this weird trust with me! I'm not here to help you clean up the mess!"

The harpy looked at the burning straw and asked, "What should we do here?"

"Run away quickly before anyone notices."

"Tell Natsu to eat the fire."

Natsu and Rhodes spoke at the same time, then looked at each other in shock, and spoke at the same time:
"Would you eat your own monsters?"

"You actually want to escape?"

The two were even more shocked:
"If you get into trouble, you have to run away!"

“It’s not impossible to try.”

After hearing each other's answers, the two said in unison this time:
"How could you say such a thing so confidently?"

Seeing the two of them go from speaking in unison to speaking in unison, Habib wanted to say "there's a relationship".

……

After an explanation.

Rhodes suddenly realized: "Oh~ So Natsu can't eat the fire he breathes or lights, he can only eat the fire of others."

Natsu then asked, "So are your wild monsters really edible?"

Rhode said, "I don't know. I just thought that if I'm really too hungry, I could borrow a claw from the Swift Crab to chew on. Crab claws can regenerate anyway."

Natsu and Happy stopped spitting, "How cruel."

The Rift Scuttler has returned to Summoner's Rift.

"I'm just kidding."

As they were talking, the fire in the small area within the firebreak had begun to shrink.

Wheat straw is hollow and not very resistant to burning. It doesn't produce much heat, so the six wild boars lying on the ground were simply smoked black.

Rhodes ordered the ancient stone beetle to split, and then dragged the six wild boars out.

Afterwards, he ordered the wild monsters to dig the soil on the spot to fill the flames and bury the ashes.

"Three-dimensional text WATER."

Rhodes waved his hand, and about a basin of clean water was poured out, soaking the still warm ground.

He repeated this several times to completely lower the temperature to avoid causing a new fire.

After doing all this, Rhodes slapped his right hand a few times. He had just said that he was not here to do the cleanup work, but in the end he still dealt with all the hidden dangers left by Natsu.

He sighed and said, "Let's go and drag all the wild boars to the village."

"Huh? Why?"

"We have to give an explanation for burning someone's wheat field. We haven't officially handed it over to the client yet." Rhodes was worried that there would be trouble.

"What a hassle." Natsu complained. Whenever he encountered this kind of situation, he would go directly to the client and explain things clearly.

As long as the task is completed, few people will care about this process issue.

"Who caused the trouble?"

Rhodes didn't dare to imagine what would have happened to this stretch of wheat fields if the stone beetles had not been sent over.

Don't be angry, don't be angry. Rod is not angry at all. It's all about the rent.

But when I think about how many more battles like this will be needed to completely solve the beast problem...

Rod has a toothache.

Wouldn't it be best to have Gray and Natsu team up?
