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

Chapter 355 Drinking Tea
Although it sounded a bit far-fetched, it was Makarov who said it himself after all, so Lahar had no choice but to ask someone to write it down.

The core idea is: it's all Phantom's fault, and Fairy Tail is forced to fight back in self-defense.

After removing those statements that are subjective, the general outline of the incident can be verified based on the testimonies of other people.

Anyway, it is not wrong that Phantom Assassin took the first move. He seemed to be overreacting at the beginning, but after Makarov was knocked down by the sneak attack, it was a reasonable counterattack.

Faced with the terrifying war weapons of the Phantom and the threat from the Ten Holy Wizards, it is understandable that they would attack with any severity.

After the president's talk, it was Erza and Mira's turn.

The two of them didn't need Rhode to explain anything, they could just say whatever they wanted to say.

It highlights the grief and anger of seeing the guild destroyed just after returning from a long journey, as well as the despair of being directly threatened by the Ten Holy Wizards.

After them comes Lucy, and Laharl asks about Lucy's father hiring a ghost to take her back.

Lucy insisted that she had already reached adulthood, and it was her own business whether she wanted to leave home or stay in Fairy Tail.

Taking her back by force is against her personal will, so the Phantom's mission can basically be equated to an illegal mission such as kidnapping.

Although this answer might cause some trouble to her father, Lucy didn't care.

She couldn't admit that her father's actions were justified and that her companions were obstructing other people's missions.

After Lucy came out...it was time to get off work.

It was getting late, and it was time to prepare dinner.

Rhodes, Worm, and Natsu, a guy who felt guilty when he saw the Council, sat at the same table with the people who were questioned today.

"How about it, did they use lynching?"

"Of course not, we are not prisoners." Makarov was still in a very excited state, "You don't know how wonderful my speech today was!"

"Haha." Rhodes thought to himself, how could I not know?
Mira smiled and raised a finger: "Since the president is so outstanding, I will reward you with a bottle of wine when I go back. I brought it from the Cat Inn."

"That's great!" Makarov said happily, "But Mira, why are you wearing Erza's clothes? It feels weird."

"Really?" Mira found it quite interesting.

She was currently wearing a women's sleeveless shirt that she had borrowed from Erza, a blue bow tie, and a blue pleated skirt.

In order to match this outfit, Mira deliberately let down her bangs and styled her hair the same as Erza's.

She looks like a white-haired version of Erza.

"I think it suits you very well." Erza deliberately changed her armor and put on a set of clothes of the same style as Mira.

She also thinks it's fun to occasionally wear the same clothes as her companions.

Rhodes made no secret of his love: "I also think Mira looks good like this."

"Really?" Mira was quite happy and discussed with Erza, "How about giving me this set? I'll also give you one of my favorite styles someday."

"Exchange dressing styles? That sounds like a good idea." Erza became interested and thought about trying to tie her hair like Mira next time.

Lucy complained quietly: "I think Mr. Rhodes will say that Miss Mira is pretty no matter what she does."

Rhodes did not refute, this sentence seemed to be the truth.

Erza, however, took out another set of the same model and asked, "Lucy, do you want to try it too?"

"What is this? A group of people dressing up as Erza?" Lucy felt that this outfit didn't suit her style.

"It would be nice to give it a try. Would that be Lucy and Erza, or Erza and Lucy?" Natsu imagined Lucy wearing Erza's armor and making complaints. It seemed like it would be fun.

"Love! We can help Lucy undress."

Lucy covered her chest and hid away from the harpy: "You are harassing me!"

Gray threw his shirt away: "I can help too."

Lucy wanted to run away. "Why did you take off your clothes first? You are a pervert who has gone beyond harassment!"

A few of them made a noise for a while, and the others didn't seem to be quiet either. It was supposed to be a serious occasion, but the people from Fairy Tail were still able to make a fuss.

It’s just that they don’t sell alcohol here, and some troublemakers like Natsu really feel uncomfortable, so the atmosphere is a little worse than usual.

This is enough. The way the detention team looks at the Fairy Tail members is a little strange. Are these people really waiting here for investigation?
Look how quiet the Phantoms are - although quite a few of them haven't woken up yet. The accommodation conditions at night can only be said to be make do, after all, they set up the camp according to the standard of marching, not for enjoyment.

The hardware conditions are acceptable, but the roommates living in the same tent can be really troublesome.

These people snore, grind their teeth, and talk in their sleep, but it is rare to find someone who can sleep well.

Rhode had no choice but to endure it. If he couldn't bear it anymore, he would punch the person to wake him up, and then punch him again to knock him out before he could react.

Not to mention, this trick works pretty well.

We are brothers anyway, no need to be polite.

After figuring out an effective method, Rhodes managed to get a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Rhodes was the first one to be called over.

Someone in the tent started talking about the dream they had last night, in which they were beaten and their bodies were still hurting.

Many people said they had the same dream.

After discussion, everyone agreed that it was Phantom's fault.

It must be that the injuries I suffered in the battle have not healed, so I felt such real pain in my dream.

……

The information desk was in a smaller tent. Lahar sat opposite Rhodes. There was someone behind him taking notes, and there was someone standing guard at the door.

Although the conditions were simple, the scene was quite formal.

There was even a cup of tea on the table in front of Rod.

This made him feel quite emotional. In the past, when he posted some nice pictures in the group, he would always joke that the group owner would be invited for tea.

Now he really drinks tea.

Rhodes tasted it curiously and it tasted like tea.

Laharl took out a document and began to read: "Mr. Rod, 19 years old, specializes in summoning magic and receiving magic, joined Fairy Tail in July last year, and his initial position was a waiter."

Rhodes nodded. Basic information was easy to find.

Lahar glanced at him and continued, "I started accepting ordinary missions nearly two months after joining the guild. After that, I accepted many difficult missions and helped the Council solve several problems... Since the beginning of this year, the number of missions has increased rapidly, and I rarely fail.

What is valuable is that even tedious and low-paid work can be completed diligently and responsibly, which is highly praised by the residents of Magnolia.

Although he has been working as a waiter recently, he has been fulfilling his duties as the president's assistant. Overall, he is a very good wizard."

Rod felt a little embarrassed to be praised like this.

The sharply increased number of tasks were completed while he and Mira were playing as a team, which was equivalent to a theme date.

While having fun, I can also deal with the guild’s backlog of tasks.

As for the low pay and complicated process... who would complain about it being complicated when you can make money playing script-killing games with someone you like?
but……

"You can even find out these little things?"

Laharl said: "Mr. Makarov allowed us to review Fairy Tail's mission records, and we have also conducted a serious investigation in Magnolia."

"Awesome." Rhodes had to admit that Lahar was a talented person.

"It's just my duty." Lahar said, "The above is just basic information, let's get to the point.

Regarding the violation of the 'Treaty of Prohibition of Armed Confrontation' between Fairy Tail and the ruler of Phantom, as the commander-in-chief of the final battle, what is your opinion?"

Even the commander-in-chief knew about it. He must have betrayed it when the president was showing off.

Rhode said the words he had thought of long ago: "First of all, our Fairy Tail..."

"Sorry to interrupt." Lahar adjusted his glasses. "Mr. Makarov has already said something too 'official'. Please speak more practically."

Rhodes: "..."
