Fairy Tail: I Don't Want to Be the Guild Master

"Mr. Rhodes, the torches have been prepared as you asked, but..." Bit looked at the scene of the ongoing battle, as if questioning whether they were still needed.

Rhodes, however, said, "Just in time. Throw all the torches outside the gate."

Bit nodded. "Understood, are they for attacking the remaining beasts?"

"No, throw them all toward Natsu."

"Huh?"

"Just do it quickly." Rhodes urged. The battle was almost over; if they didn't throw them now, it would have all been a waste.

"Yes, sir!" Bit directed the villagers to throw the torches outside, though none dared aim directly at Natsu.

The villagers didn't understand what Rhodes meant, but Happy understood perfectly. He flew over the wall and yelled, "Natsu! Food incoming!"

Natsu turned his head to see dozens of torches flying through the air.

"Oh~~~ amazing!" Natsu jumped up eagerly to grab the torches in midair, opening his mouth to inhale the flames as they got close.

Two torches that were out of reach were simply snatched by his hand.
