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

Chapter 369 Just right

Makarov is fine, he just wants to have a few more drinks before writing his self-criticism.

Mira suspected that he was trying to use his bad mood as an excuse to get some wine, but in the end she didn't have the heart to refuse.

Makarov kept his word. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he lit the lamp and started writing at the table.

The speed at which he writes makes it seem like his ideas are flowing like a spring.

The president drinks and reviews hundreds of articles?
Poor old man.

While working, Rod did not forget to pay more attention to him. He was relieved when he saw that he went home at the pub after get off work as usual.

Every day when it's time to get off work, there are always people who want to stay in the bar.

Rhodes had no choice but to chase them away.

When he first started working in the pub, he was shy and spoke politely.

But it became much easier after we got to know each other: "Get lost, we are getting off work!"

"What? You're chasing people away so early?"

"That's right, how can you treat customers like this?"

"It's so annoying, who's going to beat up Rhodes?"

Fairy Tail has formed an unwritten rule recently that if you want to stay in the tavern for a while longer, you can do so as long as you defeat Rhodes.

However, no one said anything after I asked. Are you kidding? I’m already tired from working during the day, why do I want to be beaten so late at night?
Last time, Kana got drunk and didn't want to leave, and got beaten up in a fight with Rhodes. How can they fight?

"Come on, come on, fight if you want." Perhaps because his fists had grown bigger, Rhodes had become more and more tough recently. "Hey, you haven't paid for the drinks yet, don't take this opportunity to run away!"

After paying the bill, everyone left in disappointment. They still had to work the next morning, so they should go back early.

On the way, Bijida and Marcus discussed whether they should find a way to hire Erza to beat Rod up and change that broken rule.

While Laqi was clearing the tableware on the table, she asked, “Hey, I said, you are so anxious to get off work every day, do you want to seize the time to have a sweet date with Sister Mira?”

Rhodes felt that the girl had some misunderstanding about him: "We are going to practice together in the evening. Besides, don't you want to get off work early?"

"I think it's good to create more labor value."

"Okay, then after we're done cleaning up you stay and continue making wood, and I'll help you recover your magic power."

"I reject!"

This girl is just naughty.

Now the main training project of Rhodes and Mira is to increase magic power, and the two are quite in agreement on this point.

Maybe this is the disadvantage of receiving magic. It can burst out magic power and combat power far beyond the normal level in a short period of time, but the magic power consumption will be quite terrifying.

In fact, it is easy to understand. The more powerful the receiving target is, the more their output power can be improved.

The higher the power, the shorter the battery life.

Most of the lights on the construction site had been turned off, leaving only two dim lights.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the ground facing each other, closing their eyes and meditating.

Such practice has become a part of their daily life.

Before the guild was destroyed, Rhodes was even more ruthless and often took advantage of various free times to practice.

According to Mira's estimation, if he continued to practice like this, in two or three months, Rhodes would have the hope of having magic power that could rival Erza's.

Of course, Erza might have made some new progress by then.

call……

A whirlwind spread out from Rhodes' body, and a round of training ended.

He opened his eyes and saw Mira's hair and sweatshirt blown by the wind, but she still closed her eyes quietly, immersed in her own practice.

Rhodes looked at Mira for a while, then lay down on the ground with his arms as a pillow.

The dim lights could not cover the starlight in the sky. The night sky was dotted with stars, and there seemed to be white mist lingering among them.

Rhodes carefully identified the Lyra, Cygnus, and Sagittarius in the starry sky... He didn't understand these before he traveled through time, but he got to know them when he learned about the star magic.

He knew that behind each of these constellations there was a key, and each represented a unified star spirit.

Yes, the counting unit of Protoss is 'body', and some people also use 'individual', like his wild monsters. Perhaps in some Protoss mages, they are not treated as well as his wild monsters.

Only Lucy is a little different. She can be considered an "outlier" among all the celestial wizards, so she can fit in so well with Fairy Tail.

Rhode's thoughts drifted, wondering if Mira knew these constellations, so he could show off to her later.

The moon is more eye-catching than the stars in the night sky. Tonight it is a waxing crescent moon, like Mira's toothy smile.

Rhodes couldn't help but stare at the crescent moon, as if it could complete Mira's face in the night sky.

He couldn't help wondering if he could string together the right stars with lines to outline her entire body.

A familiar breeze blew by, and it was Mira who had also completed a round of meditation.

Then a smile more beautiful than the moon filled his field of vision.

The white hair hung down, and was coated with a faint golden light by the light.

Mira pushed her drooping hair back and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking of you."

"Liar."

"It's the truth."

"But I'm right here with you."

"You will still miss me even in my arms." Rhode raised a hand and stroked her cheek. "I found the starry sky tonight very beautiful, but when you appeared in my field of vision, I couldn't care less about looking at the stars."

Mira pursed her lips, wanting to say that he was slick, but she couldn’t stop smiling at all: “Shameless, don’t you blush when you say something like this?”

Rhode looked into her beautiful eyes and said, "Maybe later, but not when I feel like it."

Foul.

Mira fixed her hair again, leaned over and pecked Rod on the lips.

Rhodes did not take the opportunity to hug her this time, but laid down one arm.

Mira lay down in his arms and looked at the stars in the sky with him.

In such an environment and such an atmosphere, a gentle kiss is just enough, nothing more is needed.

"Look over there, that one, that one... put them together like this, and you get the constellation Lyra."

"Which ones?"

"That's it. Come a little closer and follow my hand."

"Yeah, I remember Lucy had the Celestial Key of Lyra."

"Yes, that Lyra."

"Where is Canis Minor then? That's Lucy's Prue."

"Canis Minor, you can't see it now. You have to wait until winter to find it."

It's fun to show off your knowledge in front of a girl you like, especially when she is willing to listen and likes to respond.

"What a pity." Mira's head had moved to Rhodes' shoulder. She rubbed it gently, found the most comfortable position, and continued to point at the stars in the sky and ask questions.

Rhodes answered them one by one, stroking her hair from time to time.

The sky and night are as cool as water, lying down to watch Altair Vega.

Rhodes felt that if someone painted this scene, it would be more beautiful than the scene described in the poem.

At least that's how it is in his heart, and in her heart too.
