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

Chapter 213 Why are you at my house?

Elfman had been on the road since early in the morning. His workplace was not too far from his home, about an hour's drive away.

If I don't go back early, my sister will have to do all the housework alone, and she also has to take care of the guild's affairs, which is very hard.

However, in such weather, it was difficult to rent a carriage early in the morning, so Elfman simply chose to walk back.

A real man is not afraid of a mere snowstorm.

By the time he returned to Magnolia, the streets had been mostly cleared, and every few steps he could see guild members helping the residents.

He even saw the president transformed into a giant, and he could fix a roof with just two strokes of his big hands.

"It's a big mistake for a man. I came back too late after all?"

When Elfman returned home, he found that the road in front of the door had been swept clean and the snow on the roof had been cleared and all piled on the side of the road.

My sister must be very tired now, right? He opened the door with a guilty conscience.

"Elfman, are you back?"

"Elfman? Welcome back!"

As soon as Elfman opened the door, he saw Rod sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and flipping through today's magazine. His sister had just brought back a plate of cookies and sat down opposite him.

What's this weird vibe?

The familiar scene made Elfman a little dazed. He took two steps back and looked at it.

You are not in the wrong place. This is your home, not the guild.

"I'm back..." Elfman replied blankly.

"What are you doing leaving? Come over here and have some hot tea to warm yourself up. Did you eat anything this morning?"

"I was in a hurry to get back and didn't have time to eat."

"I'll go help you with something." Mira stood up and motioned for Rod to sit down first.

Rhodes watched as Mira tied her hair up, put on an apron, and skillfully took out bread, eggs, lettuce and other ingredients from the refrigerator, and neatly turned on the fire to fry eggs, toast bread, and heat milk...

She looks so beautiful from behind with an apron and a high ponytail. It’s worth it to marry a wife like her.

Oh, I haven’t married her yet.

Elfman was sitting opposite Rhodes and staring at him. Combined with the scar on his face, he looked extremely oppressive.

But it was obvious that he couldn't oppress Rhodes, not since he had just arrived.

Until now, he didn't know how many times he had punched this face, and the feel was just average.

Rhode smiled and poured Elfman a cup of tea, pushed the snacks towards him, and said shamelessly: "Don't be polite, just treat it like you're at home."

"Thank you... This is my home!" Elfman was almost fooled by him, "Why are you here?"

Rhodes became serious: "Come and help, Mira is too busy today, and she didn't have time to deal with the snow at home."

"I mean, why are you the one helping?"

"Given our friendship, is it strange for me to help?"

Of course it wasn't strange, but Elfman thought the scene he saw when he entered the door was strange.

It feels like I'm losing my sister.

Although he had long felt that this day would come sooner or later, this sooner or later was too early. Why not later?

How come Rod and Erza teamed up to go on a mission, and after returning, his relationship with his sister improved by leaps and bounds?
Could it be that while he was away, his sister exchanged jobs with Erza and teamed up with Rod?

No, there must be something else going on.

Elfman was not used to using his brain to solve problems. He glared at Rod, wondering when he would have another fight.

Although Rod was very manly during the fight, the manly Elfman didn't want to back down.

"Dinner is ready." Mira brought two plates and two cups and placed them in front of Elfman and Rod respectively.

It was just a simple sandwich and milk, because it was quick to make. Mira knew that Rhodes usually ate breakfast in the guild, but he followed her here as soon as he entered the guild today, so she prepared his portion as well.

"Thank you!" Rhodes enjoyed the meal very much.

Elfman ate in silence.

Mira sat down on the side, resting her chin on her hands and her elbows on her legs.

It has been a long time since there were any guests at home, and the scene of the three of them having breakfast together dates back to more than a year ago.

Mira looked left and right, and thought that it would be nice if her future life could be like this.

It’s just that Elfman’s eyes are too fierce.

Is the relationship between the two of them still so bad?
……

After breakfast, the three of them left home together and joined the group.

All members of Fairy Tail go out to help the town with snow removal.

Makarov issued a strict order that no one except a small number of people designated by him was allowed to use magic.

Snow removal work is not a commission, it is just the association's spontaneous help to citizens.

Priority is given to elderly people whose children are not around, as Rod did in the morning.

The second are some important roads, bridges and public places.

Although there was no reward, everyone worked very hard.

Rhode suddenly understood why Fairy Tail was so prone to causing trouble, and why few people in the town actually hated them.

In addition to being proud of the title of the strongest guild, it is probably also closely related to such trivial matters.

Everyone in the guild truly loves this town, and the townspeople also welcome these interesting wizards.

Snap! Crash... the sound of glass breaking was heard.

Curses were heard from inside the house: "Asshole! Be careful! Why did the snowball fight break my window?"

"I'm sorry! I'll compensate you!" Marcus apologized and paid the money all in one go, very skillfully.

Rhode looked up at the sky. The guild and the residents like each other, right?
……

The peaceful (?) days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, January had passed and it was payday again.

Winter will continue for some time, but the weather is already showing signs of warming up.

Rhodes felt even warmer when he received his salary.

The money spent on worldly matters is what soothes the hearts of ordinary people the most.

"Why so much?" Rhodes used to earn 12 J per month. If he went out to take missions, he would not be paid by the tavern.

But I went on three long trips last month, and my salary was 15 J.

"Because you took on some of the work of assisting the president, your salary increased." Mira blinked, "I was a little busy at the end of the month and forgot to tell you."

Rhodes suspected that Mira did it on purpose.

How could he not know whether he was busy at the end of the month? He has gone out on more than one date. How could he be busy?

Is it because Mira refused to work overtime, so she didn't talk about work after get off work?
Rhodes leaned close to Mira's ear, shoulder to shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "Are you using your power for personal gain?"

"Don't talk nonsense. It's a normal salary increase. The president agreed to it." Mira pushed him away. "If you have any objections, you can return the extra money to me."

Rhode thought for a moment and said, "It's okay for you to keep it for me, but it's not good to hand over the salary so soon, right?"

There was a punch in the chest.

There was a groan in the pub.
