Fairy Tail: I don't want to be the president

Chapter 156: Is there any plan?
Rhodes handed the task list and the IOU to Mira: "Although the task is completed, I didn't get paid."

Mira asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Rhodes told her about the client's family situation.

"Since that's your judgment, then there's no problem." Mira said with a smile, "Keep this IOU."

Rhode waved his hand and said, "Leave it with you. You can also keep it in the guild. I'm worried that I might lose it if I take it home."

"Okay." Mira didn't refuse. "The mission has been confirmed. Can you tell me about the mission process?"

Elfman said, "Sister, I want to go home and rest first."

"Well, I bought apples and persimmons yesterday and put them in the living room."

"I see."

Mira watched Elfman leave and asked Rod, "You look very tired. Do you want to take a rest first?"

"I don't need it." Rhodes hesitated. "Elfman has a special reason for this."

I agreed to take him out to relax, but he ended up being listless and I felt like I couldn't explain this to the kid's parents.

Mira asked with concern: "Are you injured?"

Rhodes shook his head: "No."

"That's good." Mira smiled, "Whatever happened, just tell me."

"Ohhh..." An enthusiastic Natsu rushed in from outside the guild. He slammed the task list on the counter, "Mira, I'm done!"

Happy flew over with a new mission sheet, "Love! This mission is next!"

"Okay~" Mira registered for them.

Rhodes asked, "Aren't you going to take a break?"

"No time to rest! Eh? Rod, are you here?" Natsu seemed to have just seen him. "I won't lose to you even if I complete the commission!"

"I don't want to compete with you..."

"Let's go, Happy!" After watching Mira finish registering, Natsu ran out.

"like!"

Rhode smiled and felt good after he recovered. "By the way, Natsu didn't destroy anything again, did he?"

Mira thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Even Natsu would be very cautious with commissions during this period."

So he is usually careless on purpose?!
Makarov strolled down from the second floor: "Rod is back, how is it this time?"

"It's OK. Although there were some minor problems, the client was very satisfied with the result."

"That's good." Makarov was also very satisfied. Rod was indeed a reassuring kid.

"By the way, President, I brought back some local medicinal herbs. Could you please pass them on to Grandma Polyusica?"

Rhodes recently decided not to give Grandma Polyusica medical expenses, as he felt that she would beat him up if he gave her the money.

It would be better to bring back some special herbs or seeds every time you go on a long trip, just like the packet of seeds I brought back from the Cat Inn last time.

This way, it would be less likely to be rejected, it would satisfy the old man's hobby, and it would also increase the guild's medicine reserves.

Plan passes.

Mira finished the work at hand and picked up her coat: “Rod, can you go out with me for a while?”

"Um...Okay, what about here?"

Mira looked at Makarov and said, "President, let's go out for a while. I'll leave this place to you."

"Yeah." Makarov jumped onto the counter and sat cross-legged, supporting his chin with one hand, feeling that he shouldn't come down.

With fewer people in the guild, these two people would become more conspicuous when they go out together.

Wakaba said enviously: "Mira, how about considering dating me occasionally?" "Isn't your wife very good to you?" Mira raised one hand with a smile.

"No, no, no..." Wakaba saw what she was going to do, "Please don't become like that!"

Mira stopped, she didn't really want to change now.

Rhode thought that when he had time, he would go to Uncle Wakaba to ask for advice on fighting techniques.

The combat experience of a veteran wizard is very valuable, and he might be able to quickly point out the shortcomings of his own tactics of "beating up the main body with wild monsters and attacking from behind".

The weather in Magnolia is getting colder and colder, and winter is just around the corner.

A custom-made coat from a tailor shop takes more than a week to be made, and by then it's almost wearable.

When Mira went out, she only wore a short coat over her usual dress.

Rhodes didn't quite understand this way of dressing and wondered if she had some magic that was specifically used to keep her legs warm.

Thinking about the previous experience on the snowy mountain, when the magic power is sufficient, it seems that the ability to resist the cold will be stronger?
The number of businesses on both sides of the street did not decrease due to the cold weather. On the contrary, there were more vendors selling seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Winter clothes are placed in the most conspicuous positions in clothing stores, and some magic shops have also launched various magic props for heating or boiling water in winter.

The hottest products are naturally the products recommended in Wizards Weekly.

Rhode remembered that today was Wednesday, the day when the new issue of Soshara was released. In addition, Mira seemed to have not taken photos for a while.

While I was disappointed, I was actually more secretly happy.

Oh man.

"Are you going to buy something?" Before leaving, Rhodes didn't even ask what they were doing today.

"Well, one of the guild's lamps is broken, and last year's heater doesn't work well. We plan to change to a new style this year, and then..."

Mira said what she needed one by one. Many of them were trivial things, but she remembered them all.

He looks particularly good when he looks serious.

As the president's assistant who is in charge of almost all logistical affairs in the guild, she is actually like a housekeeper. It is her contribution that such a noisy guild can be managed in such an orderly manner.

Rhodes was a little curious about who was in charge of these things in the past, the president?

"There are so many things to do before winter."

"Of course." Mira stopped and said, "Let's start from here."

"Okay...?" Rhodes looked up. Isn't this a coffee shop?

"Didn't I say before that I would treat you to coffee?" Mira said with a smile, "Or maybe next time?"

"Just this time." Rhodes thought, since he was already here, he might as well give her some face.

The two found a place to sit down and ordered their favorite coffee and snacks.

After chatting about some gossip in the guild, Rhodes finally brought up the matter of Elfman.

Although I promised him not to tell anyone about my crying...is Mira considered someone else?
After struggling for a while, Rhode decided to skip that part and save some face for Elfman.

"So this is what happened." Mira thought about it carefully and felt that it should be a good thing, "Thank you."

Rhodes smiled bitterly: "I'm still thinking about how to explain to you."

"This is a very important process." Mira said seriously, "Elfman and I should thank you."

Mira even wondered if this man had a plan on how to help Elfman.

Rhodes shook his head slightly, this incident was just a coincidence.

Mira asked with concern: “By the way, you said you wanted to earn a living, right? If you didn’t get paid this time, what will you do next?”

Rhode thought for a moment and said, "Let's try to take on some commissions within Magnolia. I think it's nice to have some experience once in a while."
