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

Chapter 316: Which is stronger, Lucy's luck or Natsu's destructive power?
“The second mission is a bizarre jewelry theft.

In a small town, many pieces of jewellery were stolen, but the doors and windows were not damaged, and there were no signs that outsiders had entered the scene.

So everyone suspected that the wizard was the culprit, and if they caught the thief, they would get a reward of... 15 J."

"15 J!" Lucy's eyes sparkled. Most of the rent could be paid in one go!

And it's such an interesting case to investigate, it feels like it's perfect as material to be written into her novel.

Lucy said impatiently, "That's it!"

Rhodes said, "Don't be anxious, you can take these two tasks at the same time, because the town is not far from the village of the previous task.

And according to my guess, the thief's hiding place is probably also in the forest where the beast is. You can search for both targets at the same time."

"Natsu, what do you think?" Lucy asked Natsu excitedly.

Natsu was full of energy. He felt like he had been waiting for Lucy to choose a mission for a long time:
"No problem, I'll finish both tasks in one go, and that way I'll be able to pay for Lucy's rent in no time!"

"Love, we have money to eat fish again, and as long as Lucy pays the rent, we can continue to make trouble at Lucy's house."

"Why do you have to come to my house?" Lucy grabbed Happy's face, "And didn't you say 'troublemaking'?"

"So the two missions are hunting wild beasts and hunting down jewel thieves?" Mira said, "If you have decided, go get the commission."

In fact, this is a little bit against the rules. Taking care of other tasks during one task shows a lack of concentration.

But anyway, there are three of them, the mission itself is not too dangerous, and the newcomers are relatively short of money, so they can be taken care of appropriately.

Lucy went to the bulletin board and quickly found the two corresponding task sheets.

——The search steps are to first ask where to get the cloth, and then tear off the task sheet. It is efficient and quick.

Mira helped Lucy stamp the registration, and Rhodes was writing something quickly with a pen: "Wait for me for a few minutes."

Natsu seemed to guess what Rhodes was doing: "I don't think we need to wait, let's get going quickly."

"Eh? But Mr. Rhodes seems to be writing something very important."

Happy raised a hand. "We also think we should wait."

The minority obeys the majority, so Natsu had no choice but to listen to them.

Rhodes folded what he had written in half, then took out a few sheets of information from under the counter and handed them to Lucy.

"These are the basic information of the mission. You can just take a look at them on the way. And this is the 'game pass' I'm giving you. Happy knows what this thing does."

"Love! Lucy, even if you lose your skirt, you must take good care of it."

"Who would lose their skirt?" Lucy asked curiously, "What is the 'game pass'?"

“In short, if you like adventure and want to work hard to complete the task yourself, then just read the basic information.

If you want to complete the task efficiently and most importantly get paid as fully as possible, then take a good look at what I wrote. ”

Rod optimized his working method. Not only did everyone have to choose whether to listen to his suggestions, but they also had to choose whether to know them.

"They are all nonsense, just burn them. Of course you have to complete the mission by yourself!" Flames appeared in Natsu's hands.

"No!" Lucy hugged a few pieces of paper in her arms.

Mr. Rhodes spent so much time on this, it must be something very useful. Even Happy said it was very important, so of course I couldn't listen to Natsu.

She immediately planned her itinerary: "Anyway, let's go home and get our luggage, and leave in half an hour!"

Natsu had no choice but to give up: "Rod, lend me the big crab."

Rhodes played dumb: "Why?"

Natsu still hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem: "Because I don't want to ride in a carriage."

Rhodes nodded: "Oh, but you said that the mission must be completed by myself, and Rhodes is just a nagging, so I can't lend it to you." "Revenge!" Natsu opened his mouth, pointed at Rhodes, and was petrified on the spot.

"Pfft..." Happy covered his mouth to hold back his laughter.

Mira watched as Natsu staggered out with a look of gloating similar to Happy's.

"Do you think Lucy will get paid this time?"

Mira thought for a moment and said, "It should be possible. Lucy is very lucky."

Rod couldn't refute the fact that Lucy was lucky.

He also found out today that Lucy was lucky enough to get a golden key on her first mission after joining the guild.

Although I didn't get paid, the key to the zodiac is not something that can be bought with money.

Virgo's Baluge was originally the celestial spirit of Baron Aybar, but after Lucy and Natsu helped investigate the evidence, Baron Aybar was arrested.

According to the rules of the Star Spirit Contract, Baluge terminates the contract when the contractor is arrested.

Then he took the initiative to come to Lucy and signed a contract.

From what Mira said, it seems that Baru Ge played an important role in the Lalabai incident.

Is there anyone who can directly obtain the super rare task reward of which there are only twelve in the world on the first task after joining the guild?

The reward for Mr. Luo’s first mission was just... Oh, this seems to be more important than the golden key.

Anyway, Lucy's good luck made Rhodes doubt who was the protagonist between her and Natsu.

But this mission...

Rod said, "How about a bet? I guess Lucy will only get half of the reward at most."

Mira asked, "What's the bet?"

"I haven't decided yet. How about the winner make a request that's not too unreasonable?"

Mira nodded: "Okay, then, as long as Lucy gets more than half, I win."

Bang! The two of them clapped their hands.

After the bet was agreed upon, Mira reminded: "You have already made a detailed plan for Lucy, do you still think she will not be able to complete it?"

"I just have confidence in Natsu's destructive power." Rhodes felt that it would be difficult for Lucy to stop the furious Natsu.

Although now Natsu sometimes knows how to restrain himself.

“Sister Mira, the wine I ordered yesterday has arrived, come and help me.”

Laqi shouted inside from the door, "And the guy who was slacking off around Sister Mira too!"

"Here we go!" Mira responded, patting Rhodes on the shoulder. "Let's go, lazy guy."

"Slander! When have I ever been lazy while working?"

Laqi thought for a moment and said, “Last week, there were clearly two tables to clean, but you insisted on cleaning the same one with Sister Mira.

Last week, when we were counting the inventory, Sister Mira counted one by one and you followed her, like an echo. And last month, you…"

"Enough, enough, enough..." Rhodes interrupted her.

"How do you remember it so clearly? Do you write down my mistakes in your diary every day and review them before going to bed?"

"Who would do something like that? It's either out of hatred or a crush." ​​Laqi said dissatisfiedly, "Besides, I don't write a diary!"
