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

Chapter 193 Today is also a good day

Mira didn't rip Rhodes off just because he said he was rich, she just chose an ordinary dessert shop.

The two sat for a while, exchanged some information about Levi, and then asked Rhodes to report to Troy.

"Why don't we try teaming up with them this time?" Mira was looking forward to the story of Rod and the Lane Engine Team.

"No, I don't think it's good to interfere too much." Rhodes said, "Besides, Troy is quite confident."

"That's true." Mira was ready to see how Troy would perform.

The two chatted for a while, and Mira ate half of her cake. She pinched her waist habitually, worrying about her figure.

Rod reached for her plate naturally.

"..." Mira felt something was wrong. When did she start to develop this kind of tacit understanding with him?

She pulled the plate back before Rod started eating, scooped out a large piece with her fork and stuffed it into her mouth, staring at Rod while eating.

Rhodes: “?”

Did I say anything I shouldn't have said?

After coming out of the dessert shop, Mira returned to her normal self and seemed to be in a good mood.

Rhodes was a little confused. Why did she glare at me just now?
Mira felt better when she saw him like this, and said she would treat Rod to something different next time.

Rhodes agreed in a daze. Girls' minds are sometimes hard to understand.

……

The two returned to the guild together, and as soon as Rod entered the door, he was dragged away by Gray.

"Finally I'm back, Rod, I have something to ask you!"

Rhodes subconsciously said: "No way, you are coming too?"

Gray asked doubtfully, "Also? Is there anyone else who cares about this?"

Rhodes thought he might have misunderstood: "Uh...wait a minute, tell me what you want to ask first."

"About the last mission you and Erza teamed up on."

"..." Rhode was stunned. This guy likes Erza? No, no, his focus is the mission, not Erza. He was affected by Troy's affairs these two days and his thoughts went astray.

"What do you want to ask? Please tell me in advance. I'm not sure how much I can say about the Council's mission." As a magician, there are certain rules that must be followed.

There are some things that even companions cannot talk about, unless the matter itself affects the other person.

Gray said seriously, "Devil's business."

"!" Rhodes looked at him, "Where did you hear that?"

"The day before yesterday, on my way to work, I heard someone say that the wizards of Fairy Tail defeated the devil. One was a red-haired female knight and the other was a powerful beast tamer. I thought it was you."

"What the hell is a beast tamer?" Rhodes' face darkened. What a crappy nickname.

And is the Council's confidentiality system so bad that even the fact that the target they were dealing with might be a demon was leaked?

"Come with me." Rod took Gray to find Mira, repeated Gray's words, and asked her if there would be any problems.

Gray added some details, which could be regarded as a report on his mission.

Mira thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think it’s necessarily because of the leak of the Council’s information.

The demons they and Gray were talking about should be the members of the Black Magic Cult. What they did can definitely be called demonic, right?"

Rhodes nodded: "That's possible, so Gray misunderstood."

"Wait a minute." Gray discovered the blind spot. "What you mean is that there are real demons besides them?"

Rhode said in annoyance: "Oh no, I leaked the news." "It doesn't matter. Didn't the demon show up? To put it more flexibly, it didn't officially happen during the mission. It's okay to tell Gray."

Mira said with a smile, "And the title of animal tamer is great."

"Let's not talk about this." Rhodes was helpless. Nicknames were given by others, not thought up by oneself, so there was no way to change them even if he wanted to.

He gathered his thoughts and summarized it simply: “It’s a black magic cult that wants to summon the man-eating demon Caniber from the Book of Zeref.

Then Erza and I stopped them before the summoning ceremony began, and not only dismantled their altar but also arrested everyone."

"Didn't it summon him..." Gray turned and left with a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

"Hey..." Rhodes didn't understand why he thanked her without any reason, so he could only ask Mira.

"I don't know the details, but I heard that Gray's hometown was destroyed by a demon about ten years ago."

Mira whispered, "Maybe he lost his relatives at that time. Gray probably developed the habit of taking off his clothes at that time."

"..." Another child with a sad past. Rhodes didn't know what to do except to show sympathy.

Are strange habits related to past sad experiences?

Is there something else behind Erza's habit of wearing armor? She also had some unusual behavior during the mission.

But when Rhodes asked, even Mira didn't know.

"Someone asked Erza about her past, but she refused to say anything. It was as if her entire life started from joining the guild... Maybe it was an experience so painful that she didn't even want to talk about it."

Mira saw Rod's concern for Gray and Erza and comforted them:

"It doesn't matter. No matter what happened in the past, we have all made it this far, haven't we? As long as the guild is here, we can keep going forever."

"Hmm...haah~" Rhodes yawned and suddenly felt a little sleepy.

Mira was about to get angry that he was sleepy when listening to her talk, but she found that her eyelids became heavy: "Is it Mistergang again?"

She staggered and fell down. Rhodes struggled and tried to support Mira. The two of them leaned against the counter and fell asleep together.

Naturally, the other people in the guild had also fallen asleep in a mess.

The president, with droopy eyelids, urged from the second floor to hurry up.

Mistgang greeted the president, and after choosing his mission, he lifted the magic and disappeared.

Everyone in the pub woke up one after another, and there was the inevitable sound of complaints and cursing.

Rod opened his eyes, felt the weight on his shoulders, and decided to keep them closed for a while.

After a few seconds, the weight on my shoulders disappeared, and then I suddenly felt a little pain in my waist.

"Hiss~ It hurts, it hurts..."

Mira took back her hand, her face slightly red: “I told you to wake up but you still pretended to be asleep.”

Rhodes rubbed the painful spot and wondered, "How do you know I'm not really still asleep?"

"Intuition." Mira turned her head away. Humph, your heart is beating so fast and you are pretending to be asleep. Who can you hide it from?

Women's intuition? Are you Zhan Hongling?

Rod thought she was talking nonsense.

But today is not a bad day, it’s almost time to go to training.

Rhodes looked up and saw Makarov on the second floor: "President, are you free now?"
