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

Chapter 24 A Surprise in the Magazine
"It's this kind of advertisement again. It's very annoying."

Laqi's attitude towards this kind of advertisement is similar to Rhodes' previous attitude towards software splash screen ads. It's interesting at first, but he gets tired of it after seeing it too many times.

She said mysteriously: "Turn a few more pages, there will be a surprise~"

"Surprise?" Rhodes turned the page as he was told, and the column after the advertisement was the news column he wanted to read.

This was obviously not the surprise that Lucky was talking about, but Rhodes still took a glance at it.

"The boyfriend of a popular actress from Ryder Entertainment has been revealed"

It was called an exposure, but in fact it was just a photo of two people from behind. Rhode didn't recognize the popular actress, but he thought the rumored boyfriend looked like a handsome guy in the guild.

"The Council decided to increase the crackdown on dark guilds."

It looked like an official article, but it had nothing to do with Rhode. He had asked indirectly, and Fairy Tail was really not a dark guild.

"Fairy Tail Wizards Destroy Bandit Bandits in One Move"

The title is normal, but the content seems to have a sentence "The bandits were extremely vicious and the battle was so fierce that the pine forest on the mountainside was burned to ashes."

Lucky said it was a magazine from a few weeks ago, and Rod didn't even bother to guess who did it.

After flipping through the news column, Rhodes finally saw the surprise that Lucky mentioned.

"This, this, this... this is not..."

Isn't this Mira? She had that iconic white hair, and her hairstyle was the same as now, with her bangs tied into a bunch and combed on top of her head.

The smile was different from any he had ever seen, more charming than usual.

The key point is that Mira in the photo is wearing a sea blue swimsuit, standing naturally on a beach, with one hand holding her hair.

There wasn't much fabric on the upper body, the type that Rhodes couldn't tell if it was underwear or not.

Even if you try to look away from the attraction, you will be attracted by the smooth shoulders and delicate collarbones.

The lower body is a long skirt with a high slit, or simply a large piece of cloth tied into a knot and hung diagonally on the waist and hips, showing off a waist that is enough to make countless girls envious.

Mira's right leg was completely covered by the long skirt, while her left leg was exposed to the air through the slit of the skirt.

——For the first time, Rhodes learned that Mira's emblem was white and was printed on the side of her left thigh.

"Isn't it beautiful? Are you stunned?"

"Hmm... hm?" Rhodes nodded subconsciously at first, then felt something was wrong and shook his head in denial.

But I still feel it's wrong. It's really against my will to say Mira is not pretty.

"Really?" Laqi looked regretful.

"I have the weekly Soshara from the past year. More than 20 of them have photos of Sister Mira... Do you really not want to take a look?"

"No..." Shame drove Rhodes to say no, but he always felt that he would regret it if he refused.

He looked conflicted. “I just wanted to borrow the magazine to learn more about the situation here. Now that you asked me that, it feels weird whether I borrow it or not!”

"Hahaha..." Laqi couldn't help laughing. She covered her waist with one hand and patted the counter with the other. "Just like Kana said, Rhode's reaction is so funny!"

He is different from Natsu, a completely stupid guy, and also different from Makai and Wakaba, those shameless and perverted guys.

It's only fun to tease someone like Rhode who knows what he should know but is very shy.

"Kana..." Rhodes thought of the alcoholic 'bad woman'...

Although Mira said she was a good person, Rhodes wanted to make a note.

Lucky laughed for a long time, and finally stopped when Rhode wanted to escape:
"Sister Mira was invited to be Soshara's special model last year, and she became very popular since her first photo shoot."

"Mila has been on magazine covers more times than them." Laqi pointed at the boy band on the cover.

"Now, I am probably the best cover girl among all the wizards in Fiore, and also the signature girl of our guild."

So she's the poster girl... Rhode felt like he had figured out Mira's position: "Mira is also very powerful."

Fairy Tail is really full of hidden talents. Those who are good at fighting, like the S-class wizards, are particularly capable, and those who are not good at fighting, like Mira, are also very famous in other fields.

It seems that the reason why Fairy Tail has become one of the most famous guilds in the country is not just because of its outstanding ability to get into trouble.

……

Although he was tricked a bit, Rhodes finally borrowed the magazine.

The weekly sosala is priced at 300J per serving.

It was roughly equivalent to two glasses of the cheapest beer. If the weekly magazine was published once a week, Rhodes could afford it.

It’s just that it’s a bit troublesome to buy past issues of magazines. It’s better to borrow others’ and buy the next ones yourself.

Laqi has promised to bring it over tomorrow. In her words, there is no point in leaving it there anyway, and the space can be freed up to put one more collection.

She seemed to have a grudge against the magazine.

Because Soshara claimed that she would introduce the latest high-quality magic products, but her favorite torture instruments had never been seen in the magazine.

"Well, that's too much, it's simply false advertising." Since she was borrowing his things, Rhodes decided to agree.

"That's right, false advertising." With Rhode's 'support', Laqi was completely convinced that it was the publisher's fault and clenched her fist.
"I'm suing them in this week's magazine poll!"

Rhode looked at the other party's serious expression and felt that he might have said something wrong:

"Well...why don't you be more decisive?"

"Decisive?" Laqi thought for a moment and nodded heavily. "Yes, decisive. I must let them understand my attitude!"

Rhodes: ...

Did I say something wrong again?
"Well, I just happened to be invited so I gave it a try, and then it became hard to refuse."

Mira herself is not very interested in being a model, but she has no objection either.

After all, she and Elfman lost their sister last year, and for quite a long time, both of them were immersed in grief.

It's almost impossible to even do any magician's work.

If it weren't for the income from the photo shoot and some previous savings, the siblings might have been in debt like Rod.

It is precisely because of this that Mira does not want to refuse the invitation from the magazine even though she does not really need this income right now.

"Let's not talk about that for now. How is your practice, Rhodes?"

"It's okay. I think I can try to summon new wild monsters in a few days."

"Wild monster?"

Rhode nodded: "Yes, it's a general term for my summons."

Is Poro considered a wild monster? Almost.

"Then how about finding someone to try it out in actual combat?"

"Actual battle? With whom?"

"Well..." Mira pointed at her chin with her finger.
"You know there are a lot of warmongers in the guild, so just pick one at random. If it's your first time, just pick the one you dislike the most."

Based on Mira's dark personality, Rhodes suspected that she was trying to stir up trouble.

But it doesn't matter, it's not good to practice alone, he pointed at a handsome guy in the bar,
"Of course he's the one I dislike the most! Loki!"

"Ah?" Loki, who had just been fed a sip of wine by a beautiful woman not far away, raised his head in confusion.
