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

Chapter 286 Photo Girl Erza Argument
"Mira! Rod! You are finally back!"

Makarov was so happy that he jumped down from the second floor. He was so excited that he couldn't even stand firmly and fell face down on the ground.

It can be said that he is worthy of being one of the Ten Holy Wizards. At the age of 88, he fell headfirst from the second floor and his face only turned red.

He jumped up as if nothing had happened and wanted to hug Rod's thighs and cry.

——If you hug Mira, you might get kicked away.

Makarov occasionally looks forward to the arrival of a new person who is beautiful, has a good figure and a good temper.

"Not really, President. We've only been out for a few days."

Rhode was not used to being so casual with the president like Mira and Natsu were, and he always didn't know how to push him away at times like this.

Makarov cried, "I feel like a century has passed! Do you know how I've been spending these days? Erza keeps urging me to do my job as the guild president. If I don't finish it, I'm not allowed to drink!"

Rhodes thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that a good thing? Doesn't Mira often restrict you from drinking?"

"The degree is different! If Mira restricts me, I can just drink it secretly. Erza's restriction is to cut me with a sword when I pick up the glass!"

"Oh~" Rhodes thought for a moment. He had to write this down. The president actually drank secretly when Mira forbad him to drink.

"Besides, she even checked my self-reviews. If there were any typos, she would tell me to rewrite them, saying that my attitude was not serious enough!"

Rhode nodded: "This seems a bit excessive. It's just a self-criticism, just to fool the Council of Review. It's not an application to join the party."

"Really?" Makarov seemed to have found a soulmate, and cried out Erza's "crimes" one by one.

In fact, if it were in other guilds, Erza's requests would be very normal. Some of them might seem a little harsh, but in fact they would still help curb the bad atmosphere in the guild.

The problem is that this is Fairy Tail.

Some very normal requests are made to seem like harsh laws here.

Now he probably knew why everyone was so happy when he and Mira came back. They were all looking forward to Erza handing over the job as soon as possible.

And the person that the president was complaining about madly was now chatting with Mira.

"I think this outfit suits Erza very well."

Erza was very happy: "Really? You wanted to stay because you liked me at that time."

"Yeah, but why do you suddenly want to be a waiter?"

"Because you and Rhodes asked me to take over your duties temporarily. Being a waiter is also part of your job."

"You don't have to be so serious..."

"No, since I promised to take care of the guild while you're away, I must do everything seriously!"

Erza has this kind of personality, and often takes things too seriously.

So Mira came up with a good idea: "In that case, I actually have a job as a photo model. Would you like to give it a try, Erza?"

"Model? By the way, the magazine sent a letter the day before yesterday, inviting you to shoot a swimsuit photo shoot for the July issue."

"Oh, it's a pity that I don't plan to take this kind of photo recently, but it's not good to refuse directly." Mira pretended to be distressed, "How about I introduce the previous editor to you?"

"May I?"

Erza actually had some interest, but not to the extent of volunteering to do it.

It seems that the magazine is not very willing to approach the Fairy Queen, so she has never received an invitation.

The battle was successful, Mira said with a smile:
"Sure. I'm looking forward to Erza's swimsuit photo shoot."

Although he didn't pay attention to what Mira and Erza said, when Rhode looked up and saw Mira's smile, he knew that she must have some bad ideas. Rhode didn't mind, so what, as long as she didn't use it on herself...

Oh, it seems I have used it, but the result is hard to determine whether it is a disadvantage or not.

From the president's complaints and Erza's friendly exchanges, Rhodes and Mira each learned something about the current situation of the guild.

To be honest, Erza's abilities were flawless. She kept all the accounts and mission records in perfect order.

It's just that he is too serious in character. He wants to take care of everything, big or small, in life and tasks, which makes him seem a bit strict.

Most of the time, Mira just let everyone do whatever they wanted and watched the fun with great interest, even willing to get herself involved in the fun.

Comparing the two, Erza is more like a strict father, while Mira is more like a kind mother who indulges her children. (Rod:?)

Judging from everyone's reactions, they obviously hope that the 'strict father' will go out to work as soon as possible and that they can just have the 'kind mother' at home.

Mira and Erza agreed to introduce the editor to her tomorrow, and Erza began to hand over the work seriously.

Rhodes flipped through the mission records of the past few days and was surprised.

From what the president and Erza said, it seemed like they got into a lot of trouble, but not a single mission failed.

For example, Rocky, while escorting a female artist to a commercial performance, managed to stop some perverts from harassing him, but he ended up catching the girl himself.

After completing the task, he also pursued the granddaughter of a councilor.

For example, Natsu defeated the Devin family of thieves and captured all of them.

But three houses and a clock tower were destroyed in the process, but fortunately no innocent people were injured.

Rhode was horrified: "Loki is fine, but how come Natsu has returned to his original state?"

Is the reward for this mission enough to cover his losses?

Mira said: "I think Natsu has restrained himself. In the past, he might have been more exaggerated, like burning down an entire street."

Erza looked sad and said self-blamingly, "So, Natsu didn't try his best during the battle? I clearly told him that he should give his all when he's working!"

Rod discovered the train of thought of these two people... Never mind, Mira is quite normal, so he should just complain about Erza: "So you are the culprit!"

Erza said, "No, I think the problem lies with you, Rod."

"Huh?" Rhodes was a little confused. "I've been away for the past few days."

"It's been a problem for quite some time." Erza recalled and said seriously, "It started when you assisted Mira in registering the mission.
You seem to be more and more interested in helping everyone analyze data, suggesting where to start their mission, telling them to pay attention to choosing battle terrain, how to avoid danger, and how to avoid destroying buildings. "

"...Isn't this a good thing?" Rhodes asked doubtfully, "I just hope that everyone can work more smoothly and reduce unnecessary dangers and losses."

“Of course it’s a good thing in terms of the results, but it’s something they should think about themselves.

Try your best to analyze the situation, try your best to fight, and complete the task in your own way. This is what I mean by giving it your all!
Only in this way can everyone grow through the mission, and if you try to think for them, over time it will inevitably make everyone think "just do what Rhode says".

Although it can improve work efficiency and reduce the frequency of getting into trouble in the short term, I think this is not good for everyone's growth!"

Rhodes frowned. He was sure that he had no intention of stifling everyone's growth, nor did he think about controlling anything. He just hoped that everyone could be safer outside.

He didn't expect that he would be blamed by Erza for something like this.

She probably has no ill intentions. This is just a difference of philosophy.

Think carefully, why did it come to this?
Oh, because of Natsu's thing... Is Natsu already under his influence?
What about everyone else?
