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

Chapter 80 Where is the President? He is writing a self-criticism

We left the village the next morning.

Qita was still lying in bed so he couldn't come out, so Panther and Snow came out to see him off.

The little girl Claudia ran back from outside, holding a big bunch of wild flowers to give to them.

She had picked them early in the morning, and the petals were still a little wet.

It's not safe for children to run around so early...

Rhodes didn't say anything to ruin the atmosphere. He just accepted it with a smile and told her to listen to her mother.

The subtext is that her father is unreliable and it might be better for her to listen to her mother.

The gate of the village was open. From time to time, farmers drove carts carrying farm tools out of the village. When they saw Rhodes and his friends, they would greet them warmly.

"Gah~gah~"

A few geese passed by, and their cries startled Rod so much that he even took a step back.

After coming to his senses, he realized that he was now a wizard, not a child with a combat power of less than 0.5 goose.

"Ahahaha... So Rod is afraid of geese!" Natsu searched for Rod's weakness all the way and finally got something when he was leaving.

"No, I'm not afraid."

The harpy also laughed, "Pfft! Rod is afraid of geese."

"I said I'm not afraid..."

"Ahahahaha..." Natsu and Happy burst into laughter.

Rod had no choice but to be afraid. If you have the guts, use a goose to scare me and see if I will stew it or not.

Natsu couldn't laugh anymore after two minutes.

Because they boarded the carriage for the return journey.

Rhodes pulled Natsu's face, ruffled Natsu's hair, and said with a smile: "Come on Natsu, say it with me, Rhodes is afraid of geese."

Natsu leaned against the wall of the carriage, half dead: "It feels so uncomfortable..."

Happy followed Rod in torturing Natsu without any hesitation.

"It hurts so much... Rod, call the crabs quickly..."

"No, in fact, besides being afraid of geese, I am also afraid of crabs."

"You're lying... Then let me get off the car, wow... I want to walk back..."

"No, what if you get lost alone? Since we have formed a team, we must bring you back safely."

"Let me go~"

……

The ones responsible for driving Rhodes and his group back were Bit and Mastiff.

Rod carried Natsu off the car before noon so that they could get back before dark.

The remaining distance is not far, you can take a river boat back, and it’s not a big deal to bask in the sun for a while.

Natsu was rejuvenated before entering Magnolia.

When he saw the guild, Rhode finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his mouth.

But before he could gather his emotions, Natsu had already kicked the door open: "I'm back!"

"like!"

"Oh~ Natsu is back!"

"What was destroyed this time?"

"I heard that you teamed up with Rhodes. You must have caused him a lot of trouble, right?"

"Rod? Isn't that the strongest newcomer in our guild?"

As soon as Rhodes entered the guild, he heard someone talking about the strongest newcomer.

Calculating the time, yesterday was Wednesday, which was the day when the new issue of "Soshara" was released, and it seemed to be an anniversary special.

Was that news article actually accepted?

Natsu was arguing with his companions about something like 'We completed the mission perfectly this time'.

Habby quietly spread the news that Rod was afraid of geese. Rod smiled and greeted everyone, telling them that what was written in the magazine was nonsense.

Then he walked straight to the counter without stopping.

"I am back."

"Welcome back." Mira greeted her returning companion with a smile as usual, "Did the mission go well?"

Rhodes handed her the task list: "Although there was a small accident, the result is not bad."

"Accident?"

"Well... Anyway, it was solved successfully. I'll tell you about it later."

"Ah, this makes me even more curious."

Mira made the final registration, "But I'm glad you came back safely. I was still worried that you wouldn't get along with Natsu."

"Natsu, he may have a headache occasionally, but he's very reliable."

Apart from being a bit reckless, Rhodes discovered many good qualities of Natsu during this trip.

Such as strong beliefs, sharp combat instincts, and the ability to take other people's emotions into consideration.

As a companion, reliability should be said to outweigh the ability to cause trouble... right?

Rhodes caught the half of the long bench that flew from behind him without looking back. Over there, Natsu started fighting with someone again for some reason.

He dropped the stool and turned around, resting his elbows on the counter from behind:
"Hmm...what was my mentality when I just said that Natsu was reliable?"

Mira smiled: "Thank you for your hard work."

Rhodes turned his head to look at her. Before he came back, he was still thinking about how to face her. After he came back, he naturally acted the same as usual.

"What's wrong?" Mira noticed his gaze, remembered what Laqi said to her before Rhodes left, and unconsciously touched her hair.

"Nothing, is the president here?"

"President? He's probably writing his self-review upstairs."

"Write again, who is in trouble again?"

In Fairy Tail, the most famous scene that ranks alongside "Nabu reading the bulletin board" is "The president is writing a self-criticism."

"This time it was Elfman." Mira was a little embarrassed, "It seems that he attacked the target who needed protection during the escort mission."

"Huh?" Rhode almost didn't react. "Is it a target for protection or a target for attack?"

"It's the target of the escort." Mira said, "Because during the chat, the other party said that the most important thing for a man is knowledge..."

"Man!" Elfman shouted his catchphrase in the tavern and punched Natsu, then was punched back.

The younger brother was fighting, and the older sister was watching the fun: "As long as it involves topics related to men, Elfman can't help it."

"Ha...ha...it's just what he deserves." Rod laughed dryly, thinking that Elfman might have become like this because of the Lisanna incident.

Mira raised her head and looked at the railing on the second floor: "How strange, with such a commotion down there, the president should have come down a long time ago."

However, it was not until Nabu was knocked flying by someone and hit the railing on the second floor that a big hand reached out, grabbed him, and threw him down mercilessly.

"Isn't that enough of a commotion?" The president stepped on the railing and took a look around, immediately identifying the culprit.
"Natsu, can't you just come back quietly for once?"

"Hehe!" Natsu raised his head, chest out, and put his hands on his hips, with a smug expression.

"Wait, wait, wait..." The president jumped down from the second floor and landed smoothly, "What trouble did you cause with that expression?"

The president sighed and said in a somewhat bleak tone: "Hurry up and tell me now. I will finish writing both apologies in one go."

Rhodes suddenly felt that the president was very pitiful.

"You guessed wrong, old man!" Natsu said proudly, "We completed the task perfectly this time!"

"How can that be..." The president suddenly slapped his palm and said with sudden realization, "So that's how it is. You're going to team up with Rhodes this time!"

"Hey, old man!" Natsu felt that the president was as excessive as Happy, as if he would definitely get into trouble if no one was watching him.

The president ignored him and stretched out his arms to hug Rhode, so moved that he cried and snotted:
"Rod, you did a great job! And thank you for your hard work. You are worthy of being our strongest newcomer!"

"Even you know about this." Rhodes was a little embarrassed, and,

"President, please don't rub your snot on me!"
