Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash

The mission of finding herbs was successfully completed.

If I have any regrets, I didn't get paid. Instead, I took an IOU back with me.

Rhodes and Elfman's opinion is that Mr. Kalut's family situation is not good and he needs to recover from illness for a period of time. If even the last savings are given to them, it will be very difficult for them to live in the future.

But Mr. Kalute and Mrs. Weiss also had their own persistence. Even if they could not repay the benefactor who saved their family twice in a row, they could not refuse even the most basic reward.

Although Mr. Rhodes said that Jimmy had found most of the herbs, without them, how would Jimmy have gotten them?

Rhodes had no choice but to come up with a compromise, writing an IOU with no interest and a one-hundred-year deadline to pay it back.

By the way, the meat from the two Labangs was used to pay for meals and accommodation, and any leftovers were kept for Mr. Kalut to replenish his health.

The two returned early the next morning, and before leaving, they did not forget to formally apologize to Mrs. Nepol next door. The apology was a Laban leg.

People in the village were very interested in this ferocious beast that could attack people, and they came to Kalut's house one after another to buy it.

Rhodes didn't care about what happened next, hoping to earn some starting capital for their family and start a new life.

It is a very happy and fulfilling thing to be able to save a family that is on the verge of being broken up by one's own strength.

Rhodes found that as his strength increased, there were more ways to make a living.

Even if you don't become a magician in the future, you can survive by hunting, selling meat, selling furs, etc.

Of course, this is the last resort. If possible, he still hopes to continue living peacefully in the guild as he is now.

It's better to find a gentle and beautiful wife.

Inside the carriage, Rhodes touched the fur that had been preliminarily processed. The next step was to find a suitable tailor shop.

Elfman had an identical looking piece of fur on his lap, nicely folded.

The skinner in the village said that the quality of that piece was better than that of Rhodes, so Rhodes decisively gave it to him.

Elfman's attention is not here now, his eyes are blank.

My close friend Rhodes decided to go online for a while: "Still thinking about that matter?"

"..." Elfman nodded, thinking more about himself than about the siblings, "Did I do something wrong at that time?"

Rhodes thought about it seriously and asked, "Did you do your best at that time?"

"Of course! The three of us don't have any extra strength anymore! Otherwise, I wouldn't..."

"Have you ever blamed your sister? Blame her for taking you on such a dangerous mission, blame her for not being strong enough, blame her for not being able to protect..."

"How is that possible! It's not my sister's fault that the mission went wrong! Moreover, Lisanna and I are also independent magicians, how could we always rely on my sister for protection!"

"That's it." Rhodes looked at him, "Lisanna is also a magician in her own right. Even if you are her brother, don't underestimate her determination."

"But, but I don't have the consciousness to defeat the Beast King. I personally..." Elfman held his head in his hands. Thinking of what happened that day, the man shed tears of regret.

"It's not you, it's the consciousness of the Beast King. Have you forgotten, you have tried your best." Rhodes put his hand on Elfman's shoulder.

"The three of you are all equally kind, and I believe Lisanna would hope that you can be kind to yourself, that you can remember that you have tried your best, and that you can accept yourself as you are.

Guilt and self-blame can't help you become the ideal self, nor can they help you become the brother she longs for, right? "

In fact, Rhodes had been thinking about these words for a long time, and he had been thinking about them since the day he planned to help Mira untie her knot.

If you say it normally, you may only be a little touched, and then you will calm down.

Just like how I persuaded Mira in the coffee shop last time.

But in this case, there may be more to it.

"Accept yourself as you are...the way Lisanna envied you..."

"Brother Alf, don't cry anymore."

This is the scene when one is ostracized in the village.

"Just like my sister used her power to protect us, this time it's us who protect her."

This is the scene when you just learn to receive magic.

"Elfman, do you think we should... are we qualified to try to forgive ourselves?"

This is what his sister said to him a few days ago.

Scenes from the past appeared in his mind, and Elfman wiped the tears from his face. Although it was difficult, he wanted to try again.

"I won't cry anymore... man!"

But your tears haven't stopped... Rhodes sighed in his heart, it might be of some use.

He thought for a while, and there was no need to say anything more today: "A man."

"Don't tell anyone."

Referring to the fact that he cried like this.

Rhodes smiled and said: "Okay."

After getting out of the car, Rod and Elfman handed the fur to a tailor shop for processing.

Knowing that they were magicians from Fairy Tail, the boss gave them a special discount on the grounds that magicians from Fairy Tail often took care of their business.

Especially one named Gray and one named Natsu. In addition, Erza will occasionally come to customize some special clothes.

"I only found out about this place after listening to Natsu's introduction." Rhodes said, "He said that here we can make clothes that are indestructible by fire."

"Yes, yes, that's the design we are proud of. Would you like to order one?"

"What's the price?"

The boss gestured: "Just this amount."

"Forget it." Rhodes felt that he didn't really need this kind of special clothing.

...

Elfman adjusted his mood before returning to the guild, and pushed the door with Rhodes.

As soon as the two entered the door, someone rushed out with a task list in his hand.

The guild was the same as the previous two days, with only a few people who did not plan to participate in the S-level exam, which seemed a bit deserted.

There were a few task lists posted on the notice board, which seemed much more spacious than usual.

Even so, Nabu still stood there, carefully reading every task word by word, and when he was tired or finished reading, he would go to order a drink and take a break.

"Oh~Isn't this Rhodes and Elfman?" Makao greeted, "Are you also going to challenge the S-level?"

Rhodes waved his hand: "No, I just took a task to earn some pocket money."

And I haven't earned it yet.

Wakaba said, "What? I thought you were going to challenge the record of 'the fastest to become S-rank after joining the guild'."

"What's that?" Rhode wondered if there were not many people these two days and the two uncles really couldn't find anyone to chat with.

"Welcome back, Elfman, Rhode." They were greeted by the same smiling face that they never got tired of seeing.

"I'm back, sister."

"I'm back."
