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

Chapter 360 You said Lucy was cute, and you hugged her
Gray didn't dare eat anything of unknown origin, so Natsu took it away.

Juvia was pouting in the corner, which she did on purpose because she got up early.

"Oh~~ It tastes good! Delicious!" Natsu wolfed it down. After all, it was Gray's food, so Natsu still asked, "Would you like to try it?"

"Forget it." Gray looked around and said, "I don't think I've seen Lucy all morning. Did she go out to work?"

Natsu slurred his words, "He should be at home, right? He might not be out of bed yet, and he's drooling on his pillow or something."

Happy suggested, "Love, just ask Mira and Rod."

"That's right." Gray went to the counter and asked Lucy.

Rhode put down his chopsticks temporarily and said, "I think I saw her hanging around the bulletin board. Didn't she ask you to form a team when she accepted the mission?"

"No." Mira said confidently, "Lucy didn't accept the mission. She just looked at the notice board for a while and then left."

"She said yesterday that she didn't have money to pay the rent." Rhodes thought for a moment, "Is she being too picky? She thinks that it's her fault that everyone can't work normally."

Gray frowned: "Sure enough, let's go to her house and take a look."

Mira held her chin and said with a smile: "Gray seems to care about Lucy a lot."

Gray's eyes wandered: "Because... Lucy is a newcomer and has gone through such a thing. It's only right that I care about her more."

Of course, Rhode stood on Mira's side and teased, "When I was a newcomer, you didn't take care of me like this?"

Gray countered: "Isn't it enough that you have Mira to take care of you?"

"Enough is enough..." Rhodes grabbed Mira's hand and shook it in front of Gray's eyes, "So, your desire to take care of Lucy is the same as Mira's desire to take care of me?"

"No way!" Gray's face turned a little red, and he ran away. "Anyway, I'm going to see Lucy first!"

Rhodes shouted at his back: "Put on your clothes before going!"

Gray ran over, picked up the clothes, and left quickly.

"Maybe Gray really likes Lucy." Mira was very excited as she had new gossip material.

"What's Gray doing?"

These people didn't want Rhodes to have a good meal. As soon as Gray left, Natsu and Happy came again.

Rod said: "He went to Lucy's house. He seemed to be worried that something might happen to her."

The harpy flew off without a word, "So cunning, we have to go to Lucy's house to play too!"

Natsu put the empty lunch box on the counter and chased after him, "Wait for me, Happy!"

"You guys have to work in the afternoon, where are you going now?" Erza also chased after them.

"This development... Could something really have happened to Lucy?" Rhodes was also a little puzzled by them. The entire protagonist group went out because of a little coincidence.

It sounds like a prelude to something big.

Mira looked at him and said softly, "If you care, you can go and take a look."

"Then... shall I go?"

"Yeah." Mira pulled Rod's half-eaten lunch box in front of her and said intentionally or unintentionally, "I remember that Rod also cares about Lucy."

"Hmm?" Elfman slammed the table and was about to stand up. How dare Rod abandon his sister?
But he had just stood up a little bit when Mira pushed him back.

"Didn't I tell you that there was a special reason..."

"Yeah, I remember now." Mira lowered her head and fiddled with the tableware. She spoke in a low voice and did not sound angry. She seemed to have been relieved.
"I remember the day we just came back, you saved Lucy at the critical moment, said she was cute, and hugged her like that."

"Um..." Rhodes was flustered by her tone, and Elfman couldn't hide the stabbing look in his eyes.

Mira interrupted him: "I remember earlier you even made a bet with me for Lucy."

"..."Okay, now Rod was sure that Mira was playing him, "I lost that time, and our bet has not been fulfilled yet."

"Go, you're full of sweat." Mira made up an excuse to push away Rod who wanted to get close to her. Rod gave up struggling: "Okay, how do you want to punish me?"

"I'm going to punish you for two more things."

"……Row."

Mira smiled slyly: "Then you must be mentally prepared."

Rhodes accepted his fate: "I'll accept the loss and keep my word."

"Okay, the first thing is to finish the lunch box. The second thing is to go to Lucy's house and get my luggage back." Mira blinked at him, "Will it be too difficult?"

"..." Rhodes held his chin with one hand and stared at her. After a while, he smiled and said, "I feel like I'm done."

Mira pushed the lunch box back with a smile: "Eat quickly, the heat preservation magic will disappear soon."

Elfman scratched his cheek with his index finger. He looked at his sister and then at Rod. What on earth had just happened?
Did Rhode change his mind? Was his sister angry?
……

When Rod arrived at Lucy's house, the door was open.

He saw Erza expertly making tea with Lucy's teapot.

"Maybe he's taking a shower?" Gray said as he walked into the bathroom, looking a little excited, "Will some old-fashioned plot happen next?"

However, Natsu popped out of the bathroom: "Not in there."

"You're so quick!" Gray seemed to have taken over Lucy's task of complaining, "Why did you go straight to the bathroom as soon as you got here?"

Rhodes knocked on the open door and said, "You guys are really not shy at all."

"Rod, you're here too?" Erza brought the teapot and teacups to the table. "Would you like some tea?"

Rhode nodded: "Drink, I just finished my meal and I'm a little thirsty."

Gray also sat over: "You are still just as rude."

Rhode held the teacup and said as a matter of course: "Of course it's different. I agreed to come over in advance... Where's Lucy?"

"He's not at home. We're looking for clues." Natsu looked around and suddenly pointed at the suitcase by the window. "That's very suspicious. Lucy might be hiding in it!"

Gray looked down on him: "Who would hide in a suitcase?"

Natsu was a man of action, so he immediately decided to take action: "Just open it and you'll know!"

However, Rod supported the table with one hand, flipped over the table with an elegant gymnastics move, passed Gray on the opposite side, and kicked Natsu out of the window.

"Wow!" Natsu fell to the ground on the street below, his limbs twitching slightly.

The passers-by were startled, and seeing the familiar cherry-colored hair and the emblem on the arm, they all avoided him.

It's obvious that he is a wizard from Fairy Tail. He has thick skin and strong muscles. It's only the second floor. He won't die even if he falls headfirst.

Natsu jumped up and pointed at the second floor window and shouted, "What are you doing, Rod? You want to fight?"

Rhodes said, "I'm saving you. Anyone who moves this box will die."

Erza asked, "Is there something wrong with that box?"

Habby tiptoed over, and out of curiosity he wanted to see what was inside the box.

"This is Mira's box. She asked me to help her take it back." Rod looked at Happy with a smile, "Do you want to try to move it?"

"Love..." Happy's face began to sweat, "No, no more."

When Rhodes squinted his eyes and smiled, he looked like Mira.
