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

Chapter 280 Idiot
Rhodes regrets it now, very much.

He shouldn't have called Worm over in the first place, and if he hadn't called it over, Mira wouldn't have insisted on letting it stay.

If Worm hadn't stayed, there wouldn't have been this soft wall between him and Mira.

Five minutes ago he was hugging Mira and being affectionate with her, but five minutes later, there was a sadly thick barrier between them.

"Oh." Rhodes sighed. It was all Worm's fault.

"Huh?" Worm felt that his master was criticizing him.

Mira's scolding voice sounded: "Go to bed quickly, you still have to work tomorrow."

This guy has been traveling all day and fighting for several hours at night. He is so tired, but now he is not taking a good rest. It's so annoying.

"Oh." Actually, Worm can't be blamed. This is the client's home and he can't do anything rash.

I should have stayed in a hotel earlier...but there wasn't one in the village, so it was a bad idea.

Rhodes closed his eyes, then opened them again after a while. He knew that he should rest, but... who could sleep like this?
Lying on the same big bed, how could Rhodes's tossing and turning be hidden from Mira.

She sat up and faced Rhodes, with her legs bent to the sides and her body leaning forward: "If you can't sleep, I'll help you."

The collar of the pajamas is quite loose, but unfortunately the light is too dim now and I can’t see the beautiful scenery clearly.

Rod asked, "How can I help? Do you want me to sing a lullaby?"

"It's more convenient than that." Mira stretched out her right hand and gently placed it on Rhodes' forehead.

Rhodes sensed the fluctuation of magic power, and a bunch of bubbles emitting pink light appeared in front of him.

Then he felt a wave of sleepiness coming over him, which was clearly the feeling of being hit by Mistgang's sleeping magic.

"You can also..." Rhodes was surprised and fell into a deep sleep.

Mira smiled and whispered, "Sleeping magic of this level can only be successful if the opponent is off guard."

She pulled Rhodes' cheek. This bad-hearted guy... He was obviously a very vigilant person, but he was completely defenseless against her.

Thinking about how Rhodes was wary of even the coachman during the day, Mira's smile became even more intense.

The pinching action turned into a gentle caress.

She leaned over and rubbed her cheek against Rod's face gently: "Good night."

……

When he woke up in the morning, Rhodes found himself holding something soft in his arms.

When I opened my eyes, it was indeed Worm.

Worm seemed to have woken up a long time ago. When he saw him open his eyes, he immediately used his long tongue to wash Rod's face.

"You're not a dog." Rhodes pushed it a little further away and sat up.

Mira was sitting in front of the mirror fixing her hair, with a black hairband in her mouth, which looked like it had already been partially braided.

"Good morning." Mira grabbed her neatly combed hair with one hand, took off the hairband with the other hand, and gave Rhodes a bright smile through the mirror.

Rhodes had seen this kind of smile before, just when he woke up from the guild.

But the look in his eyes was obviously different from that time.

The joy in Rhodes' heart was quickly reflected on his face: "Good morning."

Suddenly, Rhodes felt that this scene was not right, and he had a strange sense of déjà vu.

After a few seconds, he suddenly realized what was going on. He hugged the quilt tightly and pretended to be scared: "You, what did you do to me?"

Mira was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and she turned around and glared at him: "You...you won't have any breakfast!"

"Ah~" It looks like he did something, but also did nothing.

A hair band hit Rhodes' forehead, and Rhodes got out of bed with a smile: "Do you want me to help you tie your hair?"

"No!" Mira stood up, rummaged through the suitcase, took out another hair tie, and tied the last ponytail.

It was a very beautiful hairstyle, especially the dragon whisker bangs hanging down on both sides of the cheeks, which Rhodes particularly liked.

He took a closer look and realized that the hair tie was the one he had given as a gift.

Mira was very satisfied with the way he looked at her, which meant that her efforts were not in vain. But she was not satisfied with him looking at her like this...

Mira urged, “Go wash up.”

"Okay." Rhodes handed over the hair tie, but his hand was grabbed, and then the hair tie was put on his wrist, "Hey..."

"Hurry up, we still have to work later." Mira didn't let Rhodes speak. She pushed Rhodes' back and pushed him into the bathroom and closed the door.

"Let me finish what I'm saying." Rhodes opened the door and stuck his head out. "This hairstyle looks really good."

After saying that, he went back and closed the door.

Mira burst out laughing: "Idiot."

……

Of course he just said casually that he didn't have a share of breakfast. The two of them ate at the village chief's house and prepared to leave.

Mr. Jasper and his wife both had dark circles under their eyes, but they were in good spirits.

Rhodes asked, and it turned out that he was busy dealing with follow-up matters until very late yesterday.

In fact, most people in the village worked until very late. Although they were a little tired and the smell near the incinerator was indescribable, everyone was happy to work.

"We'll be out today looking for rats and trying to kill as many as we can, but there's probably going to be a lot of damage to the farmland ... like what happened to the road yesterday."

Jasper said, "It's okay! Please just go ahead and do it."

Anyway, everything that was planted before has been destroyed, and the most important thing now is to get rid of the rats.

As for the holes that will be blown out in the farmland, just think of it as turning the soil.

Rhodes nodded: "Then let's go."

"please."

Mira smiled and said, "Please take some rest as well."

The two went out together. The sun was shining brightly today, with a few white clouds hanging in the sky. The morning breeze... seemed to have a strange smell.

This is also inevitable.

The villagers they met along the way greeted the two men tiredly but enthusiastically, and the children called them "big brother, big sister" sweetly when they ran over.

They may not have seen the two men's faces, but now these two wizards are the only unfamiliar faces in the village.

The holes on the road at the entrance of the village caused by Mira's explosion have been filled, but there are still some holes on the roadside that have not been dealt with in time.

A few incinerators a little further away were still emitting smoke, and the fences that had been damaged by worms had not yet been repaired.

"Summon, Crimson Mark Tree Monster!"

"I leave it to you." Rhodes patted the tree monster's claws, pointed at the marks on the ground, and gestured twice, "Build a fence along these marks. It should be about this wide and this high."

"Woo." The tree monster made a low sound and walked along the edge of the village.

Vines grew out quickly, and were woven together according to the height and thickness Rhodes had described, like the warp and weft of weaving cloth.

The villagers were not too scared when they saw that this was the monster summoned by Rhodes, but they exclaimed in surprise after seeing what it did.

This is not a fence, it's clearly a wooden wall.

"Could this be a move that he came up with after destroying the guild that day?"

Mira took Rhodes' arm and said with a smile, "Now I know why the Council has a new regard for you."

Rhode boasted a little: "I am not talented. I am known as the 'Fairy Strategist of the New Era'. I have always been committed to reducing the negative comments about the guild. So far, I have only done some insignificant things. It is not worth mentioning."

Mira said as if coaxing a child: "Yes, yes. The fairy military strategist is the strongest."

Rod touched her head with his head to show his dissatisfaction.

Mira just smiled. This collision was much lighter than the previous times when she and Erza had been arguing.

It was not until the tree monster walked around the village and built the wall that the two of them boarded the river crab and officially started today's work.
