Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash

"Don't even think about running away~Laxus~"

"You're in such a bad state, and you're still thinking about Laxus?"

Rod patted Natsu's head, "Come and challenge me, I'll hang you up and beat you."

"Love! We'll bet on Rod to win!"

Now that he knew Natsu would be fine, Happy would not be polite when persecuting Natsu.

Natsu began to argue with Happy feebly.

Happy became more and more excited as he argued. If it was Natsu now, he would think it would be okay to fight.

Rod opened the cloth bag, which contained bags of medicine powder, and a note with detailed instructions and dosage.

"How did she see that?"

I've been exercising a little harder recently, but I often use the Crown of Ember to recover. I've also applied some ointments and potions for external injuries, and I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere.

"Rod, you smell so bad, I want to vomit."

Smell? Rod sniffed his arm and stretched it in front of Happy, "Does it smell?"

Happy sniffed: "No fish smell."

"I'm not asking you about fish!"

It should be a very faint smell. Only Natsu can notice it when it's close. Granny Polyusica also smelled it?

Or did she see that my complexion was not right, or that my muscles were stiff or something?

It seems that the life recovery function of the red buff is not omnipotent and can't be tossed around at will.

...

When I returned to the guild, the floor and the tables and chairs had returned to their original state. It was obviously Lucky's credit again.

Natsu followed Rod and Happy into the guild listlessly, staggering like a walking corpse.

"Are you okay? Natsu!"

As soon as he entered the guild, someone was concerned about Natsu's health, but Natsu turned a deaf ear to it.

Happy answered for him: "Ai! Granny Polyusica said that he would be fine after a few days of rest."

Seeing that Natsu had no goal and just followed him, Rod took him to Erza's table attentively.

"Erza, I still have work to do. I'll leave Natsu to you."

"Leave it to me!" Erza took Natsu in her arms.

Rhodes heard a 'clang' sound.

He touched his forehead, the familiar sound of head and armor colliding.

Hahaha... Rhodes didn't laugh.

When he returned to the counter, Mira greeted him and asked, "Is Natsu okay?"

Rhodes nodded: "Well, he will be weak for a while, just rest more."

"That's good, what is that?" Mira saw the cloth bag in Rhodes' hand.

"The medicine that Grandma Polyusica suddenly stuffed into my hand."

Mira paused for a moment: "Are you forcing yourself again?"

Rhodes felt a little guilty: "Not really, I just tried to do ordinary extreme training before."

Mira looked at him: "How did the two words ordinary and extreme come together?"

"Well... my common language is not very..."

"Rhodes." The tone was not heavy, but he could feel her unhappiness.

"I'm just looking for a way to get stronger as quickly as possible. I've been restraining myself these past few days. I should be able to find the most appropriate training intensity after a while."

I hope I can find a balance before the medicine packs run out.

Seeing the attitude of Grandma Polyusica today, Rhode is still a little scared. What if I accidentally train myself to death, I don't know where to cry.

Just thinking about the nonchalant look when Laxus dealt with Natsu today, I feel that if I stop working hard, it will be a long time before I can beat him and Mistgang.

Rhode looked at the medicine packs in his hand, but these will be enough for a long time, so I'll practice first.

Mira stopped talking, and Rhode felt a little awkward: "Well... aren't you going to say something?"

"What?" Mira wrote something in the register without raising her head, "You are right, it's reasonable, and there are future plans, all good."

"...Oh."

Rhode felt that the atmosphere was wrong and he should say something.

Be reasonable? But she said I was right.

Apologize? How to apologize without any reason?

Making jokes? I was stopped just now.

Go up to her to coax her? No, the relationship has not reached that stage yet.

Ignoring her is also a bad idea.

At this time, Mr. Cook's voice sounded: "Table 6, grilled lamb chops, four seasons pizza."

"Here it comes." Rod put the cloth bag on the counter and went to the food delivery counter to get the food.

He walked around the counter with the tray, stopped in front of Mira, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Thank you."

Mira stopped writing, looked up at Rod's back as he left, and her eyes softened a lot.

...

After a busy day, it was finally time to get off work.

Rod and Mira cleaned up the pub together. Sally and Izzy were there these days, and they couldn't go out to do tasks anyway, so they just helped in the pub.

After finishing the chores, everyone said goodbye to each other, and Rod walked to the backyard.

Laqi asked, "Are you going to practice again?"

"Yeah, I've been too busy these past few days and don't have much time to practice magic during the day."

Rod said, "Lock the door, I'll go directly from the backyard later."

"Receive!" Rod transformed into a swift crab form, practiced the attached small skills for a few rounds, and then dispelled the magic.

"Receive·Wild Monster Soul·Shadow Wolf!"

Light spots flashed across Rod's body, and his figure became much taller, and wolf hair grew on his body, and his appearance completely changed into a werewolf.

He received a two-headed wolf, but it did not grow a second head, but a wolf-shaped black shadow surrounded him.

As long as Rhodes has a thought, he can command the shadow to pounce and bite people at any time, just like commanding his own hands and feet.

When using this form, not only can the strength and body coordination be increased, but also sneaking in the shadows can be done quietly, and the sense of smell is greatly enhanced, especially the bloody smell is very sensitive.

After practicing for a while in the form of shadow wolf, Rhodes lifted the magic and saved enough magic power for the next summoning.

Then he started high-intensity training with various equipment in the yard.

After practicing until his physical strength was almost exhausted, Rhodes simply lay on the ground and gasped, summoning the crimson mark tree monster to give himself the crown of embers.

"I'm so tired, I just want to make myself suffer because I'm full."

Determination is determination, and complaints are complaints.

Rhodes closed his eyes and silently waited for the crown of embers to take effect.

The feeling of soreness and swelling that comes with the life recovery effect is actually very comfortable.

It was so comfortable that it felt like someone was gently wiping the sweat off his face with a hot towel...

Rod opened his eyes: "Mira? You haven't gone home yet so late?"

Mira squatted beside him, gently gathered the hair beside her ears, and said:

"It took a while to count the inventory of wine and beverages and sort out tomorrow's shopping list. I heard your voice in the yard and came to see."

Rod believed her and came to see. Not only did she prepare towels, but she also helped to mix the medicine. It was normal.

Mira's hands gradually became stronger: "What are you laughing at?"

"It hurts!" Rod was forced to stop smiling, "I was thinking... didn't you persuade me to stop for a while?"
