Chapter 327: Rod: I'm Eating Lemons
Chapter 327: Rod: I'm Eating Lemons
Wendy now wore a violet floral wreath on her head, a gift from Mira, made from the violets they picked along the way as a little extra present.
"Look, Shalulu, what Miss Mira gave me!" Wendy was obviously delighted to receive such a gift.
"It looks great on you," Shalulu said to Wendy with a hint of indulgence.
But right after, she felt something added to her head as well, made by Rod.
Judging by the feel on her head, Shalulu thought there might be a noticeable difference between hers and Wendy's.
"Only kids wear these things," she said, taking it off to examine. Indeed, the flowers were sparse and crooked, making it hard to tell if it was a floral wreath or a grass wreath.
Wendy took hers off too, "Shalulu, let's swap. I... I prefer this style."
"No need." Shalulu put the wreath back on her head, "Anyway, it's just for a casual wear."
One little angel and one little tsundere.
Rod smiled and took out the other gifts, and after Wendy and Shalulu bid farewell to Magna, they invited Rod and Mira to their home.
Shalulu was in charge of making tea.
Rod and Wendy talked about the place where he and Mira had teamed up for a job.
Wendy shared the new skills she had learned recently and what she planned to learn next.
Mira was a great straight man, asking questions with a curious expression and occasionally praising Wendy's skills.
Rod couldn't understand why Wendy had suddenly started learning these things, so he could only assume it was her hobby. Didn't Erza also like designing and collecting clothes?
After chatting about herself for a while, Wendy asked about everyone else, "I was quite shocked when I saw Miss Erza's portrait in a magazine recently."
She was also secretly quite discouraged, but she didn't mention this.
"It was a chance encounter," Mira explained to Wendy about Erza's 'glorious deeds' at the magazine.
Both Wendy and Shalulu were stunned.
Rod brought up the person Wendy cared about the most, "Granny Poluxika is doing well."
Wendy was indeed delighted to hear this name, "Really?"
Rod nodded, "Of course. Granny is in great spirits, and her voice is especially loud when she's scolding. Her body is also strong, and it hurts when she hits with a broom."
Shalulu teased, "What kind of weird standard is that?"
"Last time I visited, I asked Granny if she had any messages for Wendy. She slammed the door shut."
Wendy felt a little disappointed, "Is that so..."
"But after a few seconds, she reopened the door and told me to tell Wendy to be careful when practicing magic and not to overexert herself." Rod sighed, "Her personality is as awkward as yours, Shalulu."
Wendy nodded happily, "Yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Shalulu slammed the table, "Who do you think has a twisted personality?"
Rod took a sip of tea, "Ah~ Whose tea is this? It's so delicious!"
Shalulu didn't fall for it, "I won't be happy even if you compliment me at a time like this!"
Mira smiled, supporting her cheek with one hand, "Shalulu, you're so cute."
Shalulu's face turned red, looking at Mira, "You... Why are you taking his side?"
"Huh?" Rod suddenly remembered something and leaned closer to Mira, placing a hand on her shoulder, "Did I not tell you that Mira and I are dating?"
"Huh?" Wendy was stunned, staring blankly at Mira leaning on Rod's shoulder.
Then her face turned red, and smoke started rising from her head, "D-D-D-D-Dating!"
This shy demeanor was indeed similar to Erza's.
"Oh~~~~~" Shalalu was also surprised, "When did this happen?!"
Mira leaned on Rod's shoulder and didn't move, because Wendy's shyness was so adorable, and Shalalu's astonishment was equally charming.
She smiled and said, "It officially started around late April to early May, and it's been two and a half months now."
Shalalu exclaimed in surprise, "So the rumors about her boyfriend were true!"
Rod asked, "Even you know about these gossip?"
Shalalu replied, "It's because Wendy likes to keep up with news related to you guys."
Cat Transformation Village was a bit remote, but it still had some contact with the outside world. Occasionally, Wendy would leave the village to take on external jobs.
Otherwise, the reputation of the Sky Witch wouldn't have spread.
Every time Wendy went out, she would buy some old newspapers and magazines, eagerly reading up on any news or incidents involving Fairy Tail.
"Speaking of which, a new girl named Lucy recently joined the guild, and she's been following our news just like you guys," Rod said. "When you have time, come to Fairy Tail, and I'll introduce you to her. She's an interesting person."
"Is..." Wendy seemed to still be in a daze from shyness, and Rod doubted if she had heard him clearly.
To avoid delaying matters, Rod released Mira, "This time, besides coming to see you, I also have something to show Wendy."
Mila didn't tease her further, as the matter of the dragon seemed important to the Dragon Slayer.
Rod informed Wendy about the Mountain Wyvern, also mentioning that it didn't know Grandine or Igniru.
But from Wendy's expression, he knew she still wanted to meet it.
Following the usual routine, Rod found a spot some distance away from Cat Transformation Village, a place where few people ventured, and released the wild beasts to guard against intruders.
With numerous mountains nearby, finding a suitable spot wasn't difficult.
When the massive Mountain Wyvern appeared before them, Shalalu's eyes were filled with awe.
Wendy, on the other hand, had tears welling up in her eyes.
Raised by dragons since childhood, even though the dragon before her wasn't Grandine, Wendy felt as if she was meeting a family member.
Moreover, the dragon's eyes were so gentle and kind...
Rod expressed his confusion, "Why is it so affectionate? It wasn't like this when we first met! Is it because I'm not as cute as Wendy?"
Mira patted Rod's head reassuringly.
Rod didn't feel reassured at all.
"Excuse me... Do you know Grandine? She's also a dragon, just like you," Wendy couldn't help but ask.
The Mountain Wyvern scrutinized Wendy for a while before gently shaking its head.
For it, a gentle shake, but it still created a slight breeze.
Wendy felt a bit disappointed but politely bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Mountain Wyvern."
Suddenly, the Mountain Wyvern lowered its head.
Shalalu immediately stood in front of Wendy, her small frame not much of an obstacle, but her courage was commendable.
However, the Mountain Wyvern merely brought its massive head closer to Wendy, gently rubbing its cheek against hers.
Rod felt sour, as if he had eaten a hundred lemons. Whose dragon was this? It played with Natsu like a cat, treated Wendy with the utmost care, but was indifferent towards the summoner.
Rod began to question himself, "Mila, am I that unlikable?"
