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

Chapter 299 Mira: Actually, I have a little savings

Makao was injured, and Natsu and Lucy found him in a cave.

The two Vulcans were guarding the cave entrance that was partially blocked by them with ice lumps.

These guys who look like gorillas seem to have high IQs.

After being found, Makao looked relieved and embarrassed when he saw Natsu and the crab.

Rhode was also a little scared when he saw this scene. This uncle actually flipped over...

But it’s good to be back.

After making sure that Makao was not in danger, Natsu smiled and waved towards the crab's eyes.

Rhodes smiled and said, "This guy is quite careful in this regard."

On the way back, they walked slower in order to take care of Macao's injuries.

After get off work in the evening, Rhodes temporarily put aside his training, took some medicine and planned to wait for them on their way back.

Mira naturally went with him.

On the way she said hesitantly, "I have something to ask you."

Love, protect Dad, save mom...

Rhode didn't make trouble at this time, and asked honestly: "What?"

"Have you ever mentioned settling in Magnolia?"

"Yes." Rhodes took her hand and squeezed it gently. This thought has become stronger in recent months.

Although I have suffered a little shock today, I cannot let my life come to a standstill because of fear of something that is about to happen and I don’t know what it is.

"Can I ask how much you have saved?"

Rhode winked at her: "Wife checking the accounts?"

Mira wrinkled her nose at him: "Shameless."

Rhode smiled and said, "Because there are several high-paying missions, the monthly salary (which has increased once), and the small missions we take together, the total is more than 400 million J."

There was nothing to hide. In fact, every income record of Rhodes had to go through her hands, and she also kept an eye on his daily expenses.

If you really want to calculate, you can estimate a similar number.

Thinking of this, Rhodes suddenly had the idea that he might need to find a way to make some extra money after marriage to hide his private savings.

When the time comes, we will say that Worm’s food expenses have increased.

"Why are you asking about this suddenly?"

"Actually... I still have a little savings." Mira gestured, "About this much."

"Ah?" Rhodes showed a surprised expression, not because of the amount of her deposit, but because of the meaning of her words.

Is this purely to help him share the pressure, or is she urging him to propose quickly?

Seeing that Rhodes was a little confused, Mira explained: "In fact, I recently found that Elfman was also saving money, and I secretly inquired about the prices and rents of several houses nearby."

"I think he probably thinks I'll kick him out after..." Even Mira would be shy when she said this word, so she jumped straight to it, "After..."

"Oh... He plans to move out by himself in the future. You want him to stay and would rather live with me... Save money and start a new home."

Rhodes understood that the brother and sister were just thinking about each other.

Mira punched Rhodes with her little fist:
"It was our first home in Magnolia and there are so many memories we made with Lisanna there, it would be a shame to ask Elfman to move out."

Maybe this is what a sister is like. Even though she would normally cheat him, beat him, and be mean to him, she would think of him at times like this.

Most importantly, Elfman is also thinking about his sister and working quietly for her.

"That's why I want to discuss this with you. We...we..." Mira hesitated. This kind of words was equivalent to saying 'I want to marry you'. Although the confession was very bold, the proposal was different, and...she decided to discuss this with Rhode on the spur of the moment after hearing what he said today. She didn't prepare flowers or rings.

Otherwise... humph.

"I understand." Rod hugged her, with classic songs such as Good Days and Good Luck Coming playing in his mind on loop.

Meeting Mira was his greatest luck.

"Let's work hard together from now on, for our family and for our future life."

Mira pounded him in his arms several times again: "It's too cunning to say that."

"Then let's not count 'that' today."

Rhodes considered going to the jewelry store with her more often some other day to find out what kind of ring she liked.

On an ordinary night, with no romantic atmosphere, the two made an extraordinary promise.

This may also be considered romantic, and many times it is the romance of ordinary people.

……

"Brother Rod, Sister Mira."

Romeo's small figure looked towards the end of the street under the dim street lights, tears still in his eyes, which he tried hard to wipe away when he saw the two people.

Rod touched Romeo's head and said, "Don't worry, Natsu, Happy and Lucy have found your father."

"really?"

"I used magic to confirm that they will be here soon."

The word magic was so convincing that Romeo believed him immediately: "How is dad?"

Rhode used the magic of changing clothes to take out the medicine box: "It's just a minor injury, it will be fine after bandaging it."

Romeo was about to cry again. Before Mira could speak to comfort him, he was already comforting himself:

"It is common for wizards to get injured. It is the greatest honor to complete the mission beautifully and return safely with scars. I don't want to cry, that would be disrespecting my father's efforts..."

Mira squatted down and wiped Romeo's face: "Is this what your father usually says to you?"

"Well, is this really what Dad said?"

Mira smiled and said, "Of course, and ordinary wizards can't say such cool words. Your father is an excellent wizard."

"Yeah!" Romeo smiled widely.

Rod remembered how Romeo was laughed at by the kids a few days ago.

"As a father, there are some things that I have to protect. You will understand me when you and Mira have a child." That's what Makao said at the time.

Romeo's smile made Rhodes understand a little bit.

But he still felt that if he were in his place, he would probably think of other ways, such as educating his children not to compare these boring things?
Maybe he will understand it only when he becomes a father.

Two big crabs carried three people and a cat and walked steadily towards them from a distance. In the shadows that ordinary people could not notice, the three wolves disappeared without a trace.

"Dad!" Romeo ran over, "Dad, I'm sorry, I shouldn't..."

Macao jumped down despite the pain and hugged Romeo: "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"It doesn't matter... because I'm the son of a wizard." Romeo glanced at Mira and Rhodes who were smiling behind him, "I'm the son of an excellent wizard."

Macao felt warm in his heart, let go of his son, and smiled the most handsome smile in Romeo's eyes:
"Next time the kids laugh at you, just tell them, 'Can your dad defeat 18 monsters?'"

"Ok!"

I went to meet with [White Dove] and [I Love Xiaoyi], so the update may be a little later in the evening.

If I never come back, you guys will know who to arrest if you call the police (laughs)
