"As expected of Natsu." Lucky felt that Natsu hadn't caused any big trouble in a long time.

"It's so miserable." Rhodes' fingers made a few strokes in the air, "Will you please eat the fire?"

"Oh~~" Natsu opened his mouth and swallowed the flames created by Rhodes one by one, "Thanks for the treat!"

The taste of Rhodes' flames is ordinary, and it is good to satisfy hunger occasionally, but if you want to eat delicious flame dishes or food, you still have to spend money to buy them.

"Rod, can you write a fish for us?"

"Yes, but you can't eat it." Rhodes waved his hand, and a 'FISH' with fish scales and fins appeared in the air.

Hubby hugged it and gnawed it in disbelief: "It's so hard! It doesn't taste good either. It smells like fish!"

"Maybe the structure is too complicated. Even Lebby can't do this."

Rhodes had seen Lebby write butterflies in words, but the colors and patterns had the characteristics of butterflies and could only be used for decoration.

"Why don't you go find Worm? He seems to have some uneaten fish."

The two cute creatures have a very good relationship, and Habib actually got a small fish from Worm: "Hey, Rod, would you like to team up with us?"

Rhodes declined: "Let me go, I just came back yesterday. I have gone on two long-distance missions with Erza this month, and I also accompanied the president to a regular meeting. I didn't get a good rest at all."

Natsu patted Rhodes on the shoulder and comforted him sympathetically: "Thank you for your hard work."

In his opinion, whether it's teaming up with Erza or accompanying the president in a meeting, it's all super hard work.

Habi seemed to think so too: "Ai~ I can only continue to team up with Natsu."

Natsu said dissatisfied: "What kind of tone is this, Happy? Do you dislike me?"

"But we took on three missions a week, and only got 10,000 J, and the rest was all compensated." Habi said heartbrokenly, "If Rhodes were here, he would have received the full amount."

"Damn it, I have to give you the full reward again!" Natsu looked at the bulletin board angrily, this time he must choose a suitable task.

Natsu has been thinking a lot lately about what the president said to him before the S-class exam.

He suddenly felt that if he could get full remuneration on his own a few more times without getting into trouble at all, he might be able to take the S-level exam this year.

After successfully protecting Mira's right to have lunch quietly, Rhodes decided to help Naz with the screening.

A mission that would allow him to easily get full reward would be better if it was far away from crowds, or even far away from human settlements. It would be even better if there was one that allowed Natsu to cause wanton destruction.

Rhodes looked through the information on the counter and found a very interesting commission - mine blasting.

The master in charge of blasting took leave due to illness, and the mine was in urgent need of blasting experts to be responsible for fixed-point blasting. This seemed appropriate.

After carefully looking at the type of mine, coal mine, Rhodes silently stuffed it to the bottom and forgot about it.

It's too expensive. If Natsu were to light up the coal mine, he might not even be able to afford it if he sold the entire guild.

Rhodes flipped through it again and pulled out one: "Natsu, there is a good job here, do you want it?"

"What?" Natsu came over and took a look.

"Forest Ranger"

Wildfires are common in dry winter, so a water mage (or a mage with other fire-extinguishing methods) is needed to serve as a ranger to prevent wildfires.

Happy also came over to take a look: "Has Rhodes gone crazy? If Natsu is going to do this kind of job, is it fire prevention or arson?"

Let the fire mage be the ranger, it's hard for him to think of it.

"Of course it's fire prevention. If you find any fire, just let Natsu eat it, right?" Rhodes said matter-of-factly,

"As long as there is someone to supervise him not to spit fire randomly... you can be in charge of it, Habib. In addition, you can also fly around and patrol around. I think it suits you."

Natsu is not an ordinary fire mage. As long as he doesn't set the fire himself, he can eat it.

Natsu touched his chin: "It sounds pretty good, there are wildfires to eat."

No, the ideal situation is no wildfires.

Rhodes wanted to complain about his brain circuit, but he only heard Hubby say: "But it will take more than half a month before the next ranger will replace us."

"The work cycle is a bit long, but food and housing are taken care of, and there is a river at the foot of the mountain. When you are bored, you can make a hole in the ice and go fishing."

Rhodes feels that his words are a bit like a black agency that lures minors to work...but this task is indeed quite good, and the salary standard is quite high.

And it won't hinder Natsu's daily practice. He can definitely run long distances in the forest with heavy weights.

——Rhodes had seen Natsu's training scenes, leapfrogging with a big rock on his back, being chased by rolling stones, hitting stones with his bare hands, etc. It was quite rough.

Natsu was easily moved: "Okay, I've decided this is it!"

"Love!" Hubby was also attracted by the favorable conditions of being able to fish during working hours.

"Let me take a look." Mira, perhaps still uneasy, finished her lunch quickly.

"Ah, here it is."

Rhodes asked: "Is there any problem?"

"Everything is fine, except that there are some precious trees growing here, and wolves will appear nearby at night, so be careful."

Natsu was full of confidence: "It's just a pack of wolves. If you dare to come, watch me beat them all away!"

"I think it's not the wolves that we need to be careful about, but the precious trees." Rhodes reminded, "Habi remember to keep an eye on him."

"Love..." Habi doesn't have much confidence in this matter.

If Natsu got into a fight with the wolves, he wasn't sure what he could do.

Mira confirmed that this mission was not dangerous to Natsu, stamped it and gave him the order: "Come on."

"Look at me! Let's go, Happy!"

"like!"

The two set out again in high spirits, as if they had never experienced a mission failure.

Everyone has his own life.

Rhodes sighed like a little old man and continued to look through the mission information.

Mira asked: "What are you still looking for?"

"Same as before."

"But don't you want to rest for a few days?"

"Yes, but you have to continue watching even if you take a break. It would be a pity if you missed it because of the break."

Mira stopped talking. In fact, strictly speaking, this was a violation of regulations by Rhodes.

But the president acquiesced, and she had no objection, so there was no violation.

But Mira was thinking that Rhodes had helped her share a lot of work in the past few months. Would she like a salary increase?

Does this count as using power for personal gain? No, nothing happened to us. We are innocent. This is what Rhodes deserves for his hard work. It does not count as seeking personal gain.

"By the way, this is for you." Rhodes took out a notebook from his bag.

"Notebook?" Mira took it over and opened it. Rhodes' name was written on the title page. A bunch of mission information was recorded in it, and some sketches were also drawn in some places.

I gave a notebook to a girl. It’s still used. What does it mean? Is there something written on the back...

Mira turned all the way to the unused part in the middle of the notebook, and two squashed flowers appeared in front of her eyes.

The petals have been flattened, overlapped in some places, and are not completely dry.

The area near the petals of the paper is slightly wrinkled due to the absorption of water, and it is also stained a little bit with color.

Mira recognized them. One was wintersweet and the other was pansy. They were both relatively cold-resistant flowers, but they were not common near Magnolia.

She covered her mouth gently, surprise flashing in her eyes.

Although he had some guesses, he still asked: "Where did you pick it?"
