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

Chapter 261 Can You Date Me?
By the time the daily cleanup work was completed, there were more and more people in the guild.

The weather has now turned completely warmer and summer will arrive in another month.

The heaters in the guild had long been put away, and everyone seemed to have shed their winter laziness and become more active than ever.

Even Natsu, who had disappeared for a long time, showed up today.

“Ahahahahaha…” He walked with a chuckle as if he didn’t recognize any of his relatives, and his smile was so wide that one could see the little flame in his throat.

Even though Rhodes was so happy today, he was not as arrogant as he was.

"Natsu? It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time." Makao expressed the thoughts of many people.

If it weren't for Happy's frequent visits to the guild, everyone would have thought that Natsu had gone to work far away again.

"Because I'm practicing, practicing!" Natsu shouted.

When he saw Gray, his eyes lit up, he ran over like the wind, and slammed his hands on the table: "Gray! I ate the fire!"

"what?"

Gray thought Natsu's brain was broken, "Don't you eat fire every day?"

Natsu put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "It's black fire!"

"Black fire..." Gray thought for a moment, "Is it the kind of god-killing magic that Rhode mentioned?"

"That's right, ahahaha..." In Natsu's imagination, Gray would laugh at him for not being able to eat that kind of fire, so he wanted to show off to Gray as soon as he arrived.

However, Gray still laughed:

"So you really couldn't handle that kind of fire before! So, do you feel that other people's fire is hotter than yours, you flame idiot?"

Natsu's anger rose, he leaned over the table and pressed his forehead against Gray's, "You ice bastard!"

Gray stood up with his forehead pressed against his, "Want a fight, Flame idiot!"

"Come here, let me show you the results of my practice!"

"Don't think you're the only one practicing!"

Ever since Rhode posted the intelligence on the two Seventh Followers on the bulletin board, many people in the guild had developed a sense of crisis.

This is largely due to Lidas, who drew the magic effects of the two men so well.

In order to let everyone clearly understand the power of the two men, Rhodes did not hesitate to sacrifice his own image and asked Lidas to add him when drawing the Tower of Dingil.

Imprisoned in the glowing and magnificent tower, Rhodes looked small and helpless.

His clothes were torn and his body was covered with bruises, which made Mira feel sad when she saw him.

Of course, the version given to the Council was a first draft, without the face.

Everyone in the guild who had some understanding of Rhode's strength took him seriously, knowing that he was definitely not an easy opponent.

Many people have quietly increased their practice time in private. Although some people are only enthusiastic for a short period of time, there are always some people who persist.

Gray is one of them, so even if Natsu has practiced hard, he is not at all inferior.

The two started fighting as soon as they had a disagreement, and people immediately appeared around to cheer them on.

Rhodes quietly slid to the counter.

But he suddenly thought, maybe Mira no longer needs him to protect her now?
Mira saw him turn around and suddenly took out a large bouquet of flowers from behind the counter like a magic trick.

It was a large bunch of white roses, wrapped in white paper and tied into a bouquet with a white ribbon.

Mira came out from behind the counter calmly and handed the bouquet to Rhodes in front of her silly look: "For you."

Rhode held the bouquet in his hands in a daze, and also held her hand. This time his mind was really not working: "Why?"

Mira seemed very satisfied with his expression, and said with a smile: "Although you must know, and you have already expressed your feelings. But I haven't said it formally, actually..."

She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and looked at Rhodes with burning eyes: "Actually, I like you, Rhodes, can you date me?"

squeak~~~
Click...

clang clang clang...

All sorts of random noises rang out in the guild, and then it fell into silence.

Even Natsu and Gray, who were fighting each other, stopped when they realized that the atmosphere was wrong and turned to look at the two people in front of the counter.

Erza, who was about to intervene violently, stiffened and turned her neck like a machine that was out of oil. Confession? Was this Mira confessing her love to Rod? Falling in love? And getting married?
Erza's brain was working rapidly and her face was even redder than the two people involved.

Girls like Laqi, who had been looking forward to this scene for a long time, had already covered their mouths, fearing that they would scream.

Although the situation was not quite the same as they had expected, but thinking about Sister Mira in the past, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

Leibi held her heart with both hands, showing a shy and envious expression. Sister Mira is so brave.

Jet and Troy both imagined a scene where Lebi confessed her love to them, and then they could only bite their clothes and envy Rod.

Arzak glanced at Bisca secretly, and just happened to notice his eyes looking over at him, and they both turned their heads away at the same time, quietly watching the development of the situation.

Bisca clenched her fists to encourage herself. If Mira could be so bold, then she could be too...

Elfman actually wanted to shout "Sister, man," but he felt that if he spoke out at this time, his legs would be broken, so he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his face turning red.

Nabu, Bijida, Marcus and others who thought they understood Elfman's feelings patted his shoulders to comfort him.

Volian felt struck hard and tried to flee.

Instead, Loki did not run far away, but leaned against the door frame of the guild gate, folded his arms, smiled, and silently gave them his blessings.

Worm didn't want to watch it. He thought it would be better to eat more food. The harpy next to him was missing Xia Lulu with a fish in his mouth.

Makao, Wakaba, Krov, Nikki and other unimportant guys were secretly jealous. Why was Rhodes so lucky?

Cana held the wine glass in one hand and supported her chin with the other. Rhode was quite capable. He really got to this point. And... Mira was indeed worthy of her name.

Makarov on the second floor heard the sudden silence in the guild, and worried that the children would give him a hard time, he jumped onto the railing and sat down with a knowing smile.

Lidas silently changed a piece of paper, picked up the paintbrush and thought about the best composition.

Almost everyone in the guild was waiting for Rhodes' affirmative answer.

Rhodes could no longer hear other people's voices, nor could he see anyone's reactions. At this moment, he was completely overwhelmed by surprise and emotion, and it seemed as if there were only two people left in the entire world.

Although it feels a bit weird that I suddenly went from being the pursuer to being the pursued.

But this did not affect the joy in Rhodes' heart when he heard Mira say that she liked him.

Facing Mira's expectant eyes and slightly nervous and shy expression, Rhode could only respond to her seriously:
"Of course I want it."

Mira took the initiative to step forward and leaned on Rhodes' chest.

Rhodes cooperated by releasing the hand holding the flowers and hugged Mira tightly.

The guild erupted in warm cheers, excited screams, and whistles.

The two were awakened by the noise, and both seemed to have just realized that they had become the focus.

Mira felt her cheeks getting hot, and she buried her face in Rhodes' arms, trying to cover herself with the bouquet.

Aren't they fighting? Why are they all looking at me at once?
Rhodes had never experienced such a scene before, so he could only hug Mira and smile foolishly amid everyone's cheers and blessings.

Early May of X784, the 5th month since entering this world.

Rhodes gained a precious happiness.
