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

Chapter 253 Is Miss Vina Beautiful?
We went to the town in the magic four-wheeled vehicle driven by Mira.

But this time it wasn't Mira who was driving, it was Kana.

Because there was nothing urgent and there were injured people in the carriage, Kana didn't drive fast.

With Rhodes around, Natsu refused to take the car and continued to study the black flame on the crab's back.

Since the original branches had burned out, Natsu even brought a bundle of dry firewood as a backup.

If he can't figure it out today, he'll probably think of other ways to preserve the fire and take it home to study.

In order to prevent Natsu from accidentally setting the nearby woods on fire, Erza accompanied him and Happy on the river crab ride.

So now there were only four people in the carriage. Vina, who had not woken up yet, occupied a row of seats, and Rod, Mira and Elfman squeezed into the row opposite her.

"I'm sorry, Mira." Rhodes decided to apologize, "I didn't expect this to happen..."

"Why do you want to apologize?" Mira said softly, "This is the job of a wizard. You will always encounter various accidents."

"but……"

"I know." Mira knew what he was worried about. "Elfman is also a wizard who can stand on his own. He doesn't need you to protect him in everything."

"I don't know what strange tacit understanding you two have reached, but Rod..." Elfman flexed his muscles and shouted, "Don't underestimate me, man!"

"Keep your voice down, don't disturb Miss Vina."

Mira glared at her brother for a moment, then her eyes softened, "The most important thing now is that you are all safe."

Rhodes suddenly fell asleep.

Maybe it’s because all the worries have been put aside.

Today he had fought, been injured, escaped, and had all kinds of worries. He was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Magic power and injuries can be restored, but this kind of fatigue cannot be eliminated.

Rod leaned back in his seat, his head against the window, snoring softly.

Mira looked at him with some heartache, then gently pulled him over and leaned him against her shoulder.

"Sister," Elfman whispered, "It's all thanks to Rod today."

Mira was a little surprised. It was quite rare for Elfman to praise Rod in front of her.

"Be it the magic book, the magic crystal, or the way he escaped at the end...if he hadn't thought it through..."

Elfman felt that if Zankro was not the God-killing Mage, the two magic crystals that fell from the sky might have solved the problem.

"Is that so?" Mira's eyebrows curved, as if she was being praised.

She raised her right hand and put it down again, wanting to touch Rhodes' hair quietly but couldn't move too much.

"Do you want to get some sleep too?"

Elfman shook his head: "I'm not as tired as he is, and my injuries have recovered a lot. I can rest later."

"Not tired..." Mira smiled, "That's good."

"By the way, sister," Elfman's voice rose a little, then lowered under Mira's gaze, "Today I..."

He hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Today I used my whole body to receive... the Soul of the Beast King."

Mira's body trembled noticeably: "You..."

"I'm sorry, sister. You didn't want me to become like that, did you? It's because I couldn't control it that Lisanna..." "It was never your fault, Elfman." Mira held Elfman's hand. "At that time, you just tried your best to protect us."

"Lisanna died because I failed to protect you."

"Didn't you protect me well? You also protected Mal and Vina this time."

Mira was very happy that Elfman was able to come out of the shadows and successfully control the Soul of the Beast King, which meant that he accepted himself as he is now.

As a sister, I don't want him to live with the guilt that doesn't belong to him.

"Elfman, go on bravely and live for Lisanna, okay? Together."

"Yeah." Elfman nodded, and then tears burst out. "Wow... I'm so glad you're okay! It's so good to see you again! Aa ...

"Don't cry suddenly." Mira also had tears in the corners of her eyes.

……

The magic four-wheeler stopped steadily in front of the town hotel.

Kana jumped out of the car and complained, "It was so noisy on the road. What on earth were you talking about just now?"

Mira blinked at her: "This is a secret."

"Remember to show this expression to Rhodes more often. He will be so happy." Kana joked and took out a small wine flask from her bag.

Seeing that Rod was sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but complain: "Elfman is so noisy, how can he sleep?"

Elfman carried Rod on his back: "This is a real man!"

"What does it have to do with being a man..."

"Be gentle." Mira reminded, "And don't shout in his ear."

Erza and Natsu arrived early and had already booked a room, so everyone settled down temporarily.

Rod slept until dinner time, and woke up with his stomach growling.

Mira, who was sitting on the bed, smiled and said, "You woke up just in time. Let's get ready for dinner."

"Okay." Rhode's mood immediately improved when he saw her after waking up. He sat up and asked, "By the way, if you are here, who will take care of Miss Vina? Where is Elfman?"

"Hey~~~ I've been concerned about Miss Vina since I woke up." Mira pointed her finger at her chin and said thoughtfully, "That's right, Miss Vina is a rare beauty."

"I'm not, I didn't!" Rhodes' mind was not fully awake yet. How come waking up would be a life-threatening question?
Mira covered her mouth and laughed, "So you can get flustered too."

"Well, you know..." Rhode organized his words, "Actually, I'm still on the mission, just like a bodyguard needs to ask about the status of the cargo from time to time."

"Yes, yes, let's go eat." Mira stood up, "Don't worry, Cana is in charge over there, and Erza has confiscated her wine flask."

"Ah? I'm not worried about her. I just want to ask about Elfman's situation. I'll ask about the most important things last."

Rhodes felt that his words were a bit incoherent, but he couldn't give up. "For example, I want to ask you now if you are tired after driving all the way."

Mira thought Rod was being funny, but when she heard the protest from his stomach, she couldn't bear to tease him anymore.

"Elfman and Natsu have already gone. If we are any later, they will eat up all the delicious food."

"Okay." Rhodes was about to lift the quilt, but suddenly stopped and said, "Let me ask you in advance, I should be wearing clothes, right?"

Damn, it seems to be getting later and later
