Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash

Rhodes chose to take on this task after careful consideration.

The first is the remuneration issue. 300,000 J is divided among three people, and each person can get 100,000 J.

——Harpy is a regular mage who bears the Fairy Tail crest. He is a companion. He will help during the mission, and his share of the money must be counted.

This money will allow Rhodes to no longer have to worry about rent, and he will even be able to live relatively comfortably next month.

The second issue is safety. According to the intelligence provided by Mira, this mission is not very dangerous.

Moreover, by forming a team with Natsu, the safety is pretty well guaranteed. It's just a matter of taking care of some wild beasts, so it's not a big problem.

Rhodes seemed to have seen 100,000J waving to him - provided that Natsu would not cause any more trouble, such as demolishing the village.

Pay special attention to this!

After the process of accepting the task was completed, the three of them dispersed.

Natsu wanted to go home to pick up his luggage, Happy went to rent a carriage, and Rhodes also wanted to pick up his luggage and... make some preparations.

Even if you form a team, you can’t be careless.

Mira watched Rhodes walking towards the warehouse and said helplessly: "Are you going to borrow something again?"

Rhodes said with a sneer: "Be careful and cautious, and you will gain more if you accumulate more."

Mira corrected: "It's about being prepared."

"Oh, yes."

Mira wanted to say it was wrong and unnecessary, but considering that this was Rhode's first time taking on a crusade mission, let him do it.

A few minutes later, Rhodes returned empty-handed, with a little grievance on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"The president refused to open the warehouse door. He said it was dangerous enough to take Natsu with him, and if he took the Explosive Magic Crystal, he was afraid the village would disappear."

Rhodes felt a little aggrieved, "I'm here for self-defense, not for a terrorist attack."

Mira couldn't help laughing: "Please keep an eye on Natsu and don't let him mess around."

"Hey..." Rhodes waved his hand, "I'm leaving."

Mira waved: "Be careful on the road."

When Rhodes walked out of the guild gate, Mira withdrew her gaze. Lucky jumped on Mira from the side, lengthening the tone of what Mira just said:

"On the way~little~heart~"

Mira said angrily: "Lachi, what are you doing again?"

"It's not what I'm doing, it's what you're doing, Sister Mira~"

Lucky lowered her voice and asked, "How are you and Rod going?"

"What?"

"Love, love!" Lucky made a girlish gesture of holding her heart and said with an intoxicated look on her face.

"An excellent newcomer to the guild spent time with the guild's signature girl, and fell in love because of an escort mission...

Then, he practiced hard to protect her and worked hard to take care of her. Then the relationship between the two developed by leaps and bounds and they entered the palace of marriage...

Ah, what a romantic love! "

Mira said helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense, and even the order and cause and effect of things have been disrupted."

"Beautiful poetry always makes slight adaptations to the rhythm of life." Lucky has her own theory,

"Speaking of which, Sister Mira, you should have noticed by now. The way Rod looks at you is different from how he looks at others."

Mira shook her head slightly: "Probably because she was grateful for the little care I gave him before."

Lucky denied: "That's not the case. Rebby and I lent Rod things and answered Rod's questions. We also saw the grateful eyes. It's not like that, um... shiny."

"Stop talking nonsense. There are guests over there who want wine. Go quickly."

"Yes, yes~"

Lucky left, Mira lowered her eyes, and even Lucky said the same.

During the celebration that day, Jenny said this to Mira backstage:

"You should know how much falling in love affects photo models like us, right? Their popularity will drop drastically."

Popularity doesn't matter at all, the problem is yourself.

Mira is not a little girl who doesn't understand anything. She can feel Rhode's affection for her.

Part of it comes from gratitude, part of it comes from the affection between companions, and the other part...

How is this possible?

Rhodes is the best rookie this year, it should be said in recent years.

The president described him as a "genius of summoning magic". He was able to maintain a large number of summoned objects in battle at the same time in a short period of time.

He is thorough and cautious in doing things, and he perseveres in his daily practice. Even if he encounters setbacks, he just continues to work hard.

But what does he look like?

He is reckless, complacent because he passed the S-class exam, and takes his younger siblings on adventures self-righteously.

In the end, Elfman actually had to fight tooth and nail to take over the Beast King. In the end, even... not even Lisanna could be protected.

He also became this weak.

Now I keep smiling every day, not because I have forgotten my sadness, but because I hope Elfman will stop blaming himself, hope that he can get out of his psychological shadow, and hope that his companions will not worry.

As long as Elfman can put down his burden and live a good life, it will be enough.

As long as her companions don't think of that sad thing when they see her, but can feel a little good, it's enough.

As for myself, whether it's pain, sadness, or loss of strength, it's all my own fault, and it's the punishment I deserve for my arrogance.

in love? happiness? Or even a new family?

These things are not something people like me can have.

But Rhodes' feelings...

"Mira, two beers here!"

Mira closed her eyes, and when she opened them, her usual smile returned: "Come right away!"

What to do?

…

"What do you want?"

Rod sat in the carriage and looked at Natsu. He and Happy had been waiting for nearly ten minutes.

Happy also complained: "Too slow, Natsu."

"Wait, wait a minute, I'll be there soon, I can do it!"

Natsu took a deep breath, did a standing long jump, and prepared to jump onto the carriage in one go.

However, before jumping, Natsu's movement stopped abruptly:

"Why don't I walk over there? You guys... Hey, Happy, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Happy spread his wings, grabbed Natsu's shoulders, lifted him up and threw him into the carriage, then shouted: "Uncle, we can go!"

"Go!"

The driver was actually getting impatient. It was so hot, and he was still dawdling to get on the carriage.

"Let go... Ugh..." Natsu stopped struggling and lay in the car with a blue face. He had no strength to speak, "Let~ me~ down..."

Rod silently moved away from the direction where Natsu's mouth was facing: "Isn't it too exaggerated to be so carsick?"

Happy said: "Love! Natsu has no idea about transportation."

"I heard Gray mention it, but I didn't expect it to be so serious."

Rod poked Natsu's bulging cheek with his hand, and heard a "woo" sound, and quickly retracted it.

He suddenly felt unsafe again: "Isn't this completely incapable of fighting?"

"Love! You can do anything to Natsu now. Like this, this, this..."

Happy pulled Natsu's cheek, tied Natsu's hair into a sky-high bun, and rolled on his back, tossing around.

"Happy..." Natsu was weak, "Stop the car... I won't let you go..."

"Love! Uncle, don't stop the car!"
