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

Chapter 190 The President's Thoughts

The Lane Engine Team just happened to be in the Guild.

Jet has just been out of the hospital for two days. Since his leg was injured, he will probably have to rest for a while before he can go out to work again.

As for the embarrassing things, Jet no longer cared about them after he was discharged from the hospital. Who hasn't made a fool of themselves? I can just try harder next time.

When Rhodes came back with the flower pot, the three of them were eating and drinking together - although it was not good to drink as his injuries had not healed yet, the magician didn't care about that.

In fact, it was mainly because Lebbie and Troy couldn't persuade him. At most, he would recover a few days later. Let him be.

"Troy, can you help me take a look at these potted plants?" Rhodes put the potted plants on the table, two pots of orchids and one pot of succulents.

"Potted plants? It doesn't look good." Troy put down his glass and looked at it carefully.

Leibi asked, "Does Rod like to grow flowers, too?"

"It's not really a hobby, these are what the landlord left behind. He said he was giving them to me."

Rhodes said, "I've been raising it for half a year. I was out working these few days and didn't pay attention, so it became like this."

Troy looked at the leaves one by one and twisted the soil, looking very professional.

"These two orchids may have been frozen, and it's time to change the soil. This one looks like its roots have been damaged by insects. Hmm, wait a minute."

Troy took out two seeds the size of corn kernels from his pocket and threw them into the flowerpot.

The seeds sprouted quickly, but instead of growing upwards they burrowed into the soil. After a few seconds, Troy said, "Eureka!"

Two thin green seedlings poked their heads out, each with a white fleshy worm tied to the top.

"Ah~~" Leibi showed a disgusted expression.

Troy immediately moved his fingers, and two tiny seedlings grew mouths like pitcher plants, wrapped up the insects and retracted them into the soil, turning into fertilizer together with the insects.

"Oh~ What a convenient magic!" Rhodes felt that Troy would definitely make money if he opened a flower shop.

"That's the only thing I'm good at." Troy said with a smile, "How about I help you take care of these three pots of plants for a few days? I'll return them to you when you're done."

Rhode asked, "Can't you use your magic to recover in no time?"

Troy shook his head. "The seeds of the plants I usually manipulate are all specially cultivated. If I force this ordinary plant to grow, it might die tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll trouble you."

"You're welcome. I like plants anyway. I haven't thanked you for the plant seeds you brought me last time."

Troy glanced at Jet and said, "And thanks to someone, our team has been very idle lately."

"Hey... I've already apologized..." Jet was unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. It was his fault that he owed someone a favor this time.

Rhode thought about it and thought that the Crown of Embers seemed to be quite effective for this kind of injury. He asked:

"Want some help? Maybe I can help you recover faster, as a thank you to Troy."

"Please spare me. I don't want to owe you more favors." Jet declined Rod's kindness. "It's just a matter of a few days anyway."

"Okay, whatever you want." Rhode remembered something. "By the way, Lebi, how about that new guy?"

"Tono? He can already handle commissions on his own, although it's only within Magnolia for now, but it's impressive."

Leibi thought for a moment and said, "If it weren't for you, Tono might be considered the most anticipated newcomer."

"Oh~ Isn't that amazing..." Rhodes asked, "Are you praising him or me?"

Leibi blinked and smiled, "That's all." "Rod~" Mira waved at him at the counter, as if the president had something to say to him.

"I'll be over there for a minute, Troy. I'll leave the potted plants in your care."

Troy nodded: "Don't worry... Well, I also want to ask you for help with something later."

"Okay, I'll tell you in detail later."

Rod left, and Jet and Leibi were curious about what Troy was talking about.

Troy refused to say, but when Jet asked him urgently, he joked that he wanted to team up with Rod to take his place.

Jet knew he was joking, but he was still upset. However, he didn't want to hit him because he owed him a favor.

Besides, he might not win since his leg injury hasn't healed yet, so he can only sulk by himself.

Leibi persuaded quietly.

……

Makarov was sitting cross-legged on the counter as usual. There was wine in the glass next to him, but after he finished drinking it, Mira refilled it with boiled water.

She is serious about caring about the president's health.

The old man looked a little depressed, not sure if it was because he had no wine to drink or because the conversation with Laxus yesterday did not go well.

"President." Rhodes looked at Mira's expression and said with a smile, "Drink more hot water, it's good for your health."

Makarov's beard curled up. Was this guy trying to irritate him on purpose?
He had done meritorious service to the guild, so he was not angry or upset: “You performed very well in the last mission.”

"Well, Erza actually contributed more."

"But just now Erza said that she made a serious mistake during the mission, so she wanted to compensate you for the reward."

"Huh? How come I don't know that Erza made any major mistakes... Oh." Rhode remembered Erza's personality and asked, "The mistake she mentioned doesn't mean that she forgot to bring food when she set out, right?"

Although he really wants to make more money now, he can't embezzle his companions' wages because of such a small matter.

Makarov looked at Mira. Erza didn't tell him the details.

"That's right." Mira said with a smile, "Erza did a deep self-examination in private, and said that she would use at least half of the suitcase to store food in the future."

"It's actually such a thing..." Makarov was helpless, but this was indeed Erza's character, "Then the reward distribution will not be changed. Anyway, according to the news from the Council branch, you have done an excellent job."

Speaking of this, Makarov is no longer depressed. Thanks to Erza and Rod, he should be scolded less recently.

"By the way, our local guild alliance will have a regular meeting next week. Will you come with me?"

"Me? To be your bodyguard?" Rhodes himself thought it was impossible.

"Of course not." Makarov said, "I just want to take you to meet some old friends. It would be nice to meet some other guild leaders."

Rhodes was very confused. At what level did he have to get to know the president?
Mira leaned close to Rhodes' ear, put one hand beside her mouth, and whispered:
"Actually, the president wanted to show off the outstanding newcomer in the guild. He has taken Erza and me to show off before."

"Oh~" Rhode understood what he meant, "Why don't you take Erza with you?"

The regular meetings lasted for three to five days, and I didn't make any money, and I couldn't practice properly, and Mira didn't go.

Going to a meeting is not as comfortable as staying in a guild.
