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

Chapter 307 Holding You in My Hands
The day the 'strongest team' set out was the second day of the routine meeting.

Makarov slept soundly during the meeting with peace of mind.

Anyway, if there was any important content, Rhodes would write it down and briefly summarize it for him afterwards.

If there was an occasion where he needed to speak, Rhodes would step up and say that this was his intention.

Bringing Rod to the meeting was definitely the right choice. Makarov would give a thumbs up to his decision even in his dreams.

The morning passed peacefully, and Makarov waited until his favorite lunch time again.

I thought I could drink and chat like before, but the situation today seems a little different.

At the busiest moment of the day at noon, a small bird wearing a pointed hat flew into the venue with a letter in its claws.

"Chi~ President, this is a letter from Miss Mirajane to you." The bird that delivered the letter spoke.

"Ah?" Makarov was dizzy and his mind was not working.

Rhode waved at it: "Little beep, come here and eat."

This is the magic bird raised by Miji. It often turns into a microphone when Mira sings, so it has a good relationship with Mira.

Rhodes was naturally familiar with it.

Xiao Bi was not polite to Rhode: "I want to eat nuts, ji~"

"There are no nuts available, but there are some peanut crumbs on this cake. You can eat it." Rhodes shared his cake with it.

A magical bird like Little Beep can actually eat both human food and bird food, but just like the harpy prefers fish, it prefers nuts.

"Thank you. Ji~" Xiaobi handed the envelope to Rhodes.

Makarov's brain started working again: "Isn't this a letter for me?"

Xiao Bi pecked at the cake a few times and took the time to answer: "Ms. Mirajane said that if the president is drunk, just hand him over to Mr. Rhodes~"

"..." Makarov was speechless. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with this matter.

He began to wonder whether Mira had asked Xiao Bi to make this trip for some serious business or to write a love letter.

Rhodes opened the envelope and unfolded the letter paper. What appeared in front of him was not handwriting, but a small half-body projection of Mira.

Like a cute little figurine.

The moment he saw her, Rhode's boredom and annoyance of the past two days disappeared, but his longing for her became even stronger.

Little Mira has already started to speak: "President, and Rhodes, thank you for your hard work in attending the routine meeting."

Makarov was very proud to show off his guild's beautiful wizard to the people around him: "Look, this is our guild's signature beauty, she is very beautiful!"

Some of the disrespectful guys showed lecherous expressions.

"Please respect yourselves, guild leaders. This is my girlfriend."

Rhodes held this special piece of letter paper as if he was holding Mira in the palm of his hand.

Mira's projection was just a magic cast on the letters. She couldn't hear what they were saying, nor could she respond.

She just continued to speak according to the text Mira had recorded:
"Actually, something really great happened while the president was away—Erza teamed up with Natsu and Gray to go out together!"

Sweat gradually appeared on Makarov's face. What did she say? It seemed that he could not understand the common language.

"Because, I think this may be the strongest team in the guild, so I want to report this good news to you!"

Is this good news? Makarov's body began to tremble.

"Everything is fine in the guild, and you guys should work hard. That's it!

Um... By the way, I have one more thing to say to Rod - I miss you a little, just a little!"

Every word little Mira says is accompanied by exaggerated body movements and very cute expressions.

When he heard the last sentence, Rhodes' heart almost melted.

When her figure disappeared, Rhodes was still a little reluctant.

Rhodes decided to keep the letter carefully and take it out whenever he missed her.

"Xiaobi, can you help deliver a reply letter for me later?" "No problem~" Xiaobi was concentrating on dealing with the cake that was almost as big as it.

I have to go back anyway, and it won’t be tiring to bring a letter with me.

Rhodes wanted to write a letter like this with a projection, but he couldn't.

"President, can you teach me how to write this kind of letter? President, President?"

Rhodes waved his hand in front of Makarov's eyes, but he stood still like a stone statue.

A few seconds later, Makarov fell to the ground with his head raised, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes: "How could this happen? How could this happen? If those few people get together, they might really destroy the city!"

"President, are you okay?"

"Yes, there is still hope!" Makarov jumped up, "Rod, we can only rely on you, go and stop them!"

"Stop it, President. We don't even know what they are teaming up to do. How can we stop them?"

The last hope is shattered. Yes, we don’t even know what they are going to do. How can we stop them?

The Kingdom of Fiore is so big, we can't conduct a blanket search.

Seeing the president's expression of despair, Rhodes advised:

"It's just a team. You don't have to be so pessimistic. Erza is pretty reliable most of the time."

"You have no idea, those three people together will have a terrible reaction." Makarov paced back and forth anxiously, "We can go back tomorrow at the earliest. I hope nothing will happen."

That being said, Makarov felt uneasy the entire afternoon and couldn't sleep well during the meeting.

But at night, the accident finally happened.

"President, Rhodes." Mira walked into the banquet hall leisurely.

"Mira, you're really here!" Rod ran over happily and held her hands with both hands.

In fact, both of them wanted to hug each other, but there were too many people watching them, so they didn't feel comfortable doing it.

"Mira? Why are you here?" Makarov was shocked. Did the guild explode?

"Because I'm already off work, and Rod's reply said..." Mira touched her cheek, "Anyway, I rushed here on impulse."

Rhodes's words were so blunt that she was embarrassed to repeat them.

Rhode also raised his hand to touch her face and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work along the way."

The two looked at each other, and Mira read a sentence from his eyes - 'It's good to see you.'

"Mirajane! You really…"

"Jenny, you're here too?" Mira held Rhodes' hand affectionately, as if showing off her boyfriend, "Rhodes didn't take the magic crystal this time, did he?"

“You…” Jenny puffed up her cheeks.

"You're kidding~"

"Let's put these reminiscing conversations aside for now." Makarov said anxiously, "What happened to Erza and Natsu? Did they cause any trouble?"

Mira's words made Makarov give up: "Yes."

"Wha...what?"

"I originally came here by train, but the train station in Oshibana has been paralyzed, and the railway bridge over the Kroba Canyon has also been slightly damaged..."

Mira smiled and said, "I think it's very likely that they did it. They made another big scene."

It’s over... Makarov seemed to be struck by lightning and caused another big trouble.

"By the way, how did you get here? And where are they?"

Mira glanced at Rhodes in a reproachful manner and said, "Of course we flew here for the last leg of the journey, but it's a pity that we didn't see them on the way."

"No, I have seen them." Rhodes said, "Those guys are nearby, and there is an uninvited guest."
