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

Chapter 362 Heartfilia House
"I think I smell Lucy!"

"Although I know you didn't mean anything else by saying this, it's better not to tell her family."

Rhodes was a little worried that they would be kicked out.

Although each member of their 'Lucy Searching Team' is more capable than the other, it would be a bad idea to rush into a fight with others when they get to Lucy's house.

Gray folded his arms and looked at Natsu with disdain, "Why bother smelling it? The largest building over there is obviously Lucy's house."

"Put on your clothes first." Erza reminded him, and then sighed, "As expected of a leading tycoon, your house is bigger than the Cardea Cathedral. No, it's even bigger than the venue for the regular meeting."

Rhodes nodded. It would take at least several minutes to demolish such a large house.

He Xie went straight to the most conspicuous mansion, but was stopped by someone when he saw the courtyard. It seemed to be a security guard or a bodyguard?

"The Heartfilia mansion is ahead. May I ask who you are?"

Erza replied, "We are the wizards of Fairy Tail, companions of Lucy, and we are here to find Lucy."

"Are you the lady's friend? Please wait a moment." The guard ran to the courtyard and asked a maid, who was Mrs. Spette, who had taken care of Lucy since she was a child.

Looking closely, there are quite a few people in the courtyard, such as maids, gardeners, etc. There are nearly twenty people that can be seen. This is just the courtyard. Who knows how many people are cleaning the house.

Gray said, "It's amazing that Lucy can get used to living alone."

Hubby added: "Love, and also self-reliant."

Rhode added, "And you guys often break into people's homes."

Natsu laughed heartlessly: "Because she is Lucy! Lucy from Fairy Tail."

Because she is Lucy, she can get used to worrying about rent every month. Because she is Lucy from Fairy Tail, she can tolerate messy companions.

"This is not a reason for you to bully her all the time! Although I also bully her..." Rhodes said righteously, "but I only bully her verbally!"

"I'm sorry, Master Jude is discussing important matters with Miss Lucy and no one is allowed to disturb them. So please wait for a moment."

Mrs. Spette came over with the guards. "If you don't mind, would you please come in and have some refreshments?"

She was a little presumptuous because Lucy had never had friends of her age since she was a child. Mrs. Speight knew that the master didn't like people from Fairy Tail, but she still wanted to entertain her quietly.

Natsu's eyes lit up, "Refreshments!"

The harpy also lunged forward: "Any fish?"

Erza grabbed Natsu by the back of his collar and Happy by the back of his neck, like she was carrying two cats. "No need, thank you for your kindness, we'll come back later."

Natsu and Happy were dragged away, and the others turned and left.

The 'later' Erza mentioned was probably only a few seconds.

Considering that Lucy might be forced by her father to do something she didn't want to do, everyone decided to sneak in without any hesitation.

A steady man like Rhodes certainly couldn't just watch them mess around, he wanted to follow them.

This is not just nonsense, it is a plan.

The few of them found a hidden place. Happy took Natsu, Razor took Erza, and Rod took Gray, and they all flew to the roof of the mansion.

Hobby looked through the windows one by one and found the room where Jude and Lucy were. Then they all rappelled together and lay outside the windows to eavesdrop.

The rope was provided by Erza, and she even brought a set of black tights, but it was a pity that she couldn't use it now.

When they were in position, they heard a majestic male voice: "...This is a very meaningful marriage for the future of the Heartfilia family."

Then Lucy said in a disappointed voice: "Father..."

The other party didn't seem to care what she wanted to say: "That's all I want to say. You can go back to your room."

Lucy's voice became firm: "Please don't misunderstand, I didn't come back to compromise with you, but to convey my decision."

"what?"

"Don't decide my marriage casually. I have my own way to go!" "Lucy?" The man's voice became a little surprised. His daughter had never dared to speak to him in such a tone before.

"If you hadn't done that, maybe I could have a peaceful talk with you, but you shouldn't have asked someone to hurt my companion!"

Lucy tore her gorgeous dress to pieces with a rip sound and said in a loud voice, "Don't attack Fairy Tail again! Otherwise, everyone in the guild will regard you as an enemy, including me of course!"

"Do you know what you are talking about? You should be most aware of the wealth and power of the Heartfilia family, right?"

"It doesn't matter! What I want is not the money, nor this house, but a place that truly recognizes my personality! Fairy Tail is my other home, a home that is warmer than this place!"

As long as I am with my friends, I don't need to be afraid of the power of the Heartfilia family!"

Natsu outside the window became excited when he heard Lucy's words. Rod was quick to pick up Happy and cover Natsu's mouth before he could shout.

However, Erza was also moved by Lucy's words: "Well said... woo!"

Rhode grabbed Gray's shirt and stuffed it into Erza's mouth.

Gray looked at Rod in shock. He actually blocked Erza's mouth like this. If you don't want to live, don't take me with you!

Rod glared at Gray. He was not afraid of revenge. Erza was a reasonable person, and it was Gray who took off his clothes at this time.

"Who's that over there?!"

It was indeed too obvious that they were lying on someone else's wall. At first, the guards thought they were servants cleaning the windows, but it was not normal for several people to stay there for a long time.

Several people decisively slipped back to the roof.

Lucy opened the window and looked out. The guards downstairs were already busy: "There is a suspicious person sneaking in, go find him! Protect the master and the lady!"

The person who would sneak into the Heartfilia household so carelessly... Lucy sighed, and she knew who it was.

She closed the window and adjusted her mood: "That's all I have to say. If mom were still here, she would definitely support me... Goodbye, dad."

The last sentence was very devastating to Jude. He seemed to see the shadow of Leila in Lucy.

Jude couldn't say a word and just stared blankly at Lucy leaving.

Will Leila...support her?

……

"I told you to keep quiet and not move. Have you been discovered?" Rhodes decided to pass on the blame first.

"Sorry!" The three persons and the cat lowered their heads obediently like students being scolded by their teacher.

Rhodes' action plan couldn't be wrong, so they were the ones who were wrong.

"You will have to do double the work as punishment when you return."

"Yes……"

After confirming that Lucy was fine, everyone relaxed. It was just work, no big deal.

Gray said, "Speaking of which, since Lucy isn't under house arrest or anything, can we just go see her directly?"

"Delicious snacks!" Natsu was still thinking about the delicious food.

"Fish!" Habby did the same.

Erza smiled and said, "Don't think about it. Lucy has already abandoned her status as a young lady. She will have to ask us to accompany her to earn rent when she returns."

Rhode sighed and said earnestly, "Please do less damage next time... so that the president and Lucy can save some trouble."

"Yes……"

No matter whether you can do it or not, just agree to it first.
