Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash

Rhodes sent the children directly to the hospital in Manjusaka town.

Erza took the ghost figure to contact the people at the Senate branch.

The doctor helped the children prepare some suitable food, checked their bodies, and bandaged their injuries.

Eight of the 14 children showed some symptoms of fever, two - the brother and sister who tried to escape but were caught - had a high fever, and the other four were fine.

After a while of busy work, it was already dark.

However, the children's parents rushed over after learning the news.

Even the parents who lost their children in Popi Town came to claim their children through the snow with oil lamps in their hands after receiving the news.

Rod hid when the first group of parents came over and squatted alone in the corner outside the hospital - he was a little scared.

He learned from the children on the road that a girl named Liz was taken away by the men in black robes and never returned.

Think again of the magic circle painted with blood on the altar...

Rod was afraid of meeting Liz's parents.

He didn't think it was his fault but didn't want to see those sad eyes.

Rhodes had seen enough of the sad expressions after losing a loved one.

"Why are you squatting here?"

After finishing her business, Erza put on a purple down jacket with her hands in her pockets, which was in line with the winter atmosphere.

It's just that the lower body is wearing long boots and bare legs, which looks a bit strange.

"How's it going with the Senate?"

"Ghost Shadow and the three people we captured earlier have been imprisoned. The Senate will send people to arrest those people in the mountains overnight."

"What about the fact that we took too heavy a blow this time?"

“It doesn’t matter, what the Black Magic Order does is too dangerous, and the Senate cannot tolerate doing such things to children.

Therefore, if we act more seriously, we will not be held accountable. At best, we will send someone to inquire about the situation afterwards. "

"That's good." Rhodes raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, "At least you don't have to worry about the president being scolded."

Erza knelt down next to Rhodes, leaning against the wall and hugging her knees.

"The weather is not very good tonight. I can't see a single star." Erza exhaled a white breath, which was very conspicuous in the dim light.

Rhodes replied smoothly: "Yes."

"Are you thinking about Liz? Or... the person who was killed yesterday?"

Rhodes said: "All of them, I wonder if we could have saved them if we came earlier.

It's a pity that there is no if, we didn't even know the situation here earlier. I know this very well, but I can't help but feel regretful and have random thoughts. "

"This should be called kindness, being sad for the passing of life, and feeling sorry for the misfortune of others." Erza said,

"Remember how you feel now, and then move on more firmly to prevent this from happening again in front of you. This is one of the reasons why we work hard to become stronger."

Compared to Rhodes, who could be said to have grown up in a greenhouse, Erza had seen and even experienced more suffering.

So she appears to be much more mature than Rhodes in this aspect. Although she felt the same sadness and regret in her heart, she could still find the time to consider and appease Rhodes' mood.

Erza suddenly thought that the president's words of 'take care of Rhodes' might not be during the battle, but outside the battle.

"Want to come over here for a moment?" Erza opened her arms. She didn't mind hugging Rhodes to comfort him.

"Thank you for your kindness, let's skip it." Rhodes was not a very nervous guy. He stood up and patted his face and said, "Let's go, there are people here who are more miserable than us, we must go and meet them. "

…

Rhodes and Erza failed to meet Liz's parents, but they met the mayors of Manjusaka Town and Popi Town.

"Thank you both for everything you have done. On behalf of all the rescued children, their parents, and all the residents of the town, I would like to express my gratitude to you two!"

"Please don't be polite. We just received the task of wiping out criminal gangs and rescuing the children." Erza said in a very formal tone.

"In addition, regarding the child named Liz and the resident of Poppy Town who was brutally murdered... I'm sorry that we are late."

"We are also very sorry for what happened to that resident, but there is nothing we can do about it. We cannot blame the two of you. But Liz..." the mayor of Poppy Town thought for a while and said, "Liz I’ve already gone home.”

Rhodes and Erza were stunned at the same time: "What did you say? Liz has gone home?"

"Well, just yesterday, she was the only child who escaped on her own." The mayor said, "We went to visit in person. We originally wanted to ask where she was imprisoned before, but the child was so scared that she couldn't do anything. Can't tell."

Rhodes asked: "Are you sure you're not joking?"

"Of course, I guarantee it in the name of the mayor."

Seeing the mayor's words, there was indeed no Liz's family here. Rhodes and Erza both breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s good to be okay, it’s great to be okay.

The two stayed in the hospital for a while, watching the children who were not seriously ill being taken away by their parents. The two children with high fever also had their fevers subsided, and then they left.

Needless to say, the parents expressed their gratitude before leaving, and the children also said "Thank you, big brother" and "Thank you, big sister".

For the resident who died in Poppy Town, the mayor said that the town's security team had failed in their duties, so he would give his family a certain amount of compensation and help arrange a way to make a living.

At this point, Rhodes and Erza's teaming mission has come to an end.

The reward will be sent to the guild after the council has completed the process. At that time, they may ask about some task details.

The two declined the invitations of the two mayors and returned to the hotel booked by Erza in Moningroi Town.

Rhodes took his suitcase: "Where is the key to my room?"

"Key? Here." Erza took out a key and threw it to Rhodes.

"Isn't this the key you just opened the door to?"

Erza asked doubtfully: "Isn't this what you want?"

"I mean my room..." The two of them stared at each other, and Rhodes had an ominous premonition, "So, you only booked your own room?"

"It's a room for the two of us."

"..."

"Anyway, there are two beds. If you go out during the mission, if you are in a team, it is possible to squeeze together, although I rarely have this experience..."

Erza suddenly thought of a good idea, "Want to try it out? The two beds are pushed together. Speaking of which, we should have lived in a tent yesterday. If anything happens, we can have someone to take care of us."

"No, I'm not used to that, so that's good." She said it seemed reasonable, but Rhodes couldn't get used to it yet, "It's very late, go to bed."

Erza looked regretful. Maybe it was fun for her to sleep with her companions.

Just like when there is a celebration in the guild, everyone is lying on the ground.

"Okay." She looked at Rod walking into the bathroom and asked, "Would you like to help rub your back?"

Rhodes almost fell down and hurriedly locked the bathroom door: "No, thank you! I just took a quick shower!"

Erza really doesn't treat her friends as outsiders.

Rhodes stared at the shower head and doubted his life. Am I thinking too much? Am I abnormal?

The illustration at the end is not enough for review, go check it out in the comment section. Erza and Natsu rub each other's backs.
