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

Chapter 254 Don’t drink while driving
"Oh, that's hard to say." Mira covered her eyes, "I forgot whether I changed it for you."

"I would have believed it if you hadn't opened your fingers so wide." Rhodes stood up, uncovering the quilt. There was nothing disrespectful about it, what a pity.

"What's the meaning of that regretful expression?" Mira patted his arm.

"It's over. My bones are broken. I won't be able to eat if no one feeds me."

"Okay, I'll ask Elfman to feed you." Mira said with a smile, "Don't look at him like that, he's actually very caring."

Rhode thought about the scene and shook his head: "Actually, I was born with supernatural powers and recovered immediately."

The two chatted and laughed as they went to the restaurant.

Elfman and Happy were already munching on their Hesse, while Natsu had already finished his meal and was figuring out how to eat Black Flame as a dessert.

Kana arrived just a few seconds earlier than the two of them. She just sat down and raised her glass to take a drink: "Ha! Finally have some free time!"

Mira asked, "Where's Erza?"

"She went to replace me." Kana replied.

She looked at Rhodes who sat down and started eating without saying a word, and suddenly asked with a sly smile, "How is it? Does it feel especially good to sleep with Mira's legs as a pillow?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Rhodes hit his chest and almost choked to death, "Who? Where are you leaning on?"

Mira also looked surprised, she didn't even know when she had the pillow.

Kana never lied without telling anyone: "Don't you know? You slept with your head resting on Mira's legs all the way?"

"Yes, is this true?" Rhodes looked at Mira for confirmation.

Mira wanted to see his reaction, but she didn't say it directly: "Yes, is there?"

Rod's ears felt slightly hot, and then his face looked sad. How could he sleep so soundly?

Mira glared at him, cheeky.

It took Rhodes a while to come back to his senses.

The carriage was so narrow that there was no way they could lie down unless Elfman made room for them.

"Hahaha..." Kana laughed and patted Rhodes on the back. "It's been a while since I saw your expression like this. It was funnier when you first came to the guild!"

"Haha." Rhode broke off a chicken leg and watched Cana bite it hard. He said incoherently, "Just wait. Don't even think about getting a sip of wine without water when you return to the guild."

"Stop bragging. It's not you who's in charge of the alcohol in the guild." Kana felt that since Mira didn't refute her just now, she was in cahoots with her.

Mira smiled and said, “But I think Rhodes’ idea is good.”

"Really? It just so happens that I know word magic, so adding water is very convenient."

Kana shouted, "You two are in cahoots!"

Habby: "There's a leg!"

……

The next day, Vina finally woke up.

She didn't expect that she could survive. When Elfman and Rod came to visit her, Vina thanked them solemnly again.

Rhodes actually didn't quite dare to accept it. Strictly speaking, this mission should be considered a failure.

Not only did they fail to defend the Tears of Chris, but they even lost the village.

If we could have set off earlier…it’s actually hard to say.

Maybe the situation would be better because of the advance preparation, and maybe both he and Elfman would be involved.

So now Rhodes didn't know whether to be thankful or feel guilty.

But things have passed, why would there be so many ifs?
Mal found this place later.

The brother and sister experienced a life-and-death separation, and they were blaming themselves and comforting each other.

After a while, Vina asked about the situation in the village.

Mal finally brought a little good news: a dozen children were still alive, and their parents hid them before the war.

Although their number is small, there is still hope for their tribe, and the brother and sister are not alone.

It was a blessing in disguise. The two chatted alone in the room for a while, and then Mal helped Vina out to say goodbye.

Mira said: "Miss Vina should rest for a while."

Vina shook her head: "At times like this, the children need me."

Rhode gave her a crown of embers and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Of course we will rebuild the village. But it's not safe here anymore. We plan to... temporarily accept the protection of the Council and settle somewhere else. Once we find out the purpose of the Devil's Heart, we will definitely come back here."

Mal seemed to have matured a lot overnight, and her tone of voice became firm and steady, not as rash as before.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to have some plans for the future.

"By the way, here are your rewards." Mal took out a cloth bag and handed it to Rhodes.

Rhodes and Elfman looked at each other, but neither of them reached out.

"We have failed in our mission, and we should apologize to you. And you must be in great need of money in your current situation."

Mal shook her head: "No, didn't father modify the mission requirements before he died? You have successfully saved us and completed his request.

There is no need to worry about money, there are still some properties in the village, enough for us to use for a long time."

Vina also said: "Please accept it as a thank you or medical expenses. This way we can help our father fulfill his last wish."

With that said, it's not just the money that needs to be collected.

Rhode was silent for a while, then decided to accept it:

"If there's anything I can help with, feel free to come find me at Fairy Tail. I'll also help keep an eye out for information on the Devil's Heart and the Tears of Chris."

The brother and sister supported each other and left. From now on, the future of Monotropa rested on their shoulders.

……

Everyone rested in the hotel for a while and then set off back to the guild.

Rhodes wanted to take the opportunity to experience the magic four-wheeler.

He had never touched a car after passing his driving test, and then he died. Now he can finally enjoy himself.

No one objected. After all, they were all wizards and would only get bumped into some objects but wouldn't die from the fall.

Rhodes sat in the driving seat confidently, but was stunned. This thing had no steering wheel, only a joystick.

There seems to be something like a brake under my feet...

He turned back awkwardly: "Mira, come and teach me how to drive it?"

Happy flew out of the car window, "We're going to go ride the river crab with Natsu."

The driver couldn't even lock the doors and windows while sitting in the driving seat. Bad review.

Mira got out of the car and taught him step by step how to provide magic power and how to start it.

Rhodes simply pulled her to sit down.

The driving seat of this car is like a single sofa, and two people can squeeze in.

Rhodes doesn't mind anyway.

Mira huddled together with him, somewhat doubting whether Rod really couldn't drive.

But she didn't mind.

The car started to move shakily, sometimes faster, sometimes slower, sometimes left, sometimes right. It was obvious that Rhodes was not used to the joystick yet.

It didn't feel better until we drove out of town.

But Cana saw that Mira had no intention of coming back, so she banged on the car window: "That's too much, you are driving dangerously!"

"You were driving drunk yesterday!"

[Note: Don’t drink and drive, and don’t drive after drinking. Wizards won’t die from falling, so ordinary people shouldn’t try to learn from them.]

The reason why Demon Heart destroyed many villages was: "Who told them to live in the land where the 'Zeff Key' rests forever"
