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

Chapter 370 Some are happy and some are sad

Some are happy and some are sad.

Lucy was the type who was so worried that she could hardly sleep.

The next day, when she arrived at the guild, Lucy cried to Mira about her experience in front of the counter.

It was clearly agreed that the people should be driven out, and then the fight should be carried out outside the town, or that the fight should be restrained.

But after finding the target, no one could resist except Lucy and Happy.

Under the attack of Erza, Natsu and Gray, the magic cult could only flee madly.

The result of their escape was that they destroyed two more streets.

"In the end, it was all in vain. I didn't make any money at all, wuwuwu..."

"Ah, ah, ah..." Mira felt a little sorry for Lucy and comforted her, "At least there is no extra compensation, right?"

"Well, because we stopped the other party from committing the crime in time and recovered a lot of property from their hideout, the client forgave us and only deducted the entire reward."

Rhode said, "Look at it from a bright side. You're lucky to have to pay 500,000 J for destroying three streets."

"That being said..." Lucy also felt that she was lucky to only have to pay 500,000 J in compensation after destroying so many things. "But what about my rent? There are only three days left!"

Lucy and the landlord agreed to pay rent on the 5th of every month, and today is the 2nd.

Although she could ask the landlady for a few days' grace, the landlady seemed difficult to talk to. Lucy really didn't want to mention this matter unless it was absolutely necessary.

Mira thought for a moment and said, "I think it's more suitable for you guys to fight monsters far away from human settlements."

"It's a bit sad to be told that..." Lucy complained before asking, "There's nothing we can do about it. Is there such a mission?"

"There have been a few recently, but they are either very far away or are 'roving' monsters. It is difficult to find their traces. In short, none of them can be dealt with in a few days."

Rhode was well aware of this type of mission, as it was suitable for him and Mira.

"It's okay if you can't make money, Lucy." Happy was eating a steamed fish, "If you can't pay the rent, you can sleep with us and Natsu."

Lucy glared at him. "If you mean what you said, I'll pull out all your beard."

Natsu passed by pushing a cart and shouted, "Lucy, stop being lazy and come push the rocks, or you'll lose to Erza!"

"I'm choosing the next mission!" Lucy gave Natsu a fierce look, "And why do I have to compete with Erza in pushing rocks?"

Erza passed by pushing a cart lightly and smiled at Lucy, "Want to compete with me? Come on, you're still far behind."

Lucy said helplessly: "Do I look like such a motivated person?"

Gray passed by shirtless and pushed a cart. Lucy looked at him and Gray looked at Lucy, but in the end he just sighed and left.

Lucy felt even more uncomfortable: "Just tell me something!"

Juvia hid in the corner biting her handkerchief, tears welling up in her eyes. A love rival appeared! She could actually talk to Gray-sama so naturally!
Lucy shuddered and suddenly felt a little cold.

Mira looked at Gray and then at Lucy, imitating the harpy's tone: "Are you having an affair? (not very standard tongue flick)"

Lucy rarely shouted at Mira: "No!"

The fish in Happy's mouth fell onto the plate, and the soup splashed onto his belly: "Our...our lines! Lucy is too much! Wuuwuwu..."

The harpy ran away crying and crouched in the corner of the tent.

"It's just a sentence, why are you crying? And it was clearly Miss Mira who took it, why are you blaming me!"

Lucy put her head in her hands and felt like she was going to collapse.

"Lucy is so funny." Mira covered her mouth and laughed for a while. She pushed Rhode and said, "Help Lucy choose a suitable task?" Rhode nodded and said, "Well, since her performance made Miss Mirajane very happy, I will reluctantly help."

Why did you suddenly call me by my full name... and even specifically use my honorific... and I'm not acting!

Lucy looked confused. There were so many things to complain about that she didn't know where to start. She suddenly felt very tired.

Mira smiled even more happily, and took advantage of her good mood to bring a plate of steamed fish to coax Hubby.

"Do you have a particular type of mission you prefer? I remember you seemed to like adventure-type missions before."

Lucy said dejectedly, "That's true, but I've been on a lot of adventures lately. Now I'll do anything as long as I can earn rent."

Terrible lines.

Rhodes flipped through the documents, found one and handed it to Lucy: “Try this, a newly opened billiard hall encountered some difficulties.

Since the day we opened, there have been people causing trouble and ruining the place, making it difficult to attract customers. Can you think of a solution?"

"Billiard hall?" Lucy looked at it. "Will it be destroyed by Natsu to clean up the troublemakers?"

"These troublemakers are usually small-time thugs. The instigator may be a competitor or a regional boss. Even if they want to fight in a pool hall, at most they will smash a few pool tables and break a few pieces of glass. It won't be a big problem if they don't use magic."

Rhodes said, "The difficulty lies in how to make the other party not dare to go again after you leave, or how to make the people behind the scenes stop causing trouble. Think of a solution."

"Hey~~~ Do I need to think about the strategy carefully? This seems quite interesting." Lucy looked at the reward, 18 J. After dividing it up, plus the money she had left, it would be enough to pay the rent.

"I'm going to find Erza now!"

"Don't worry. There is another technical way to destroy the place. You may need to study how to play billiards. Remember to be fully prepared before setting off."

Lucy was full of energy: "I know, I must get paid this time!"

Rhodes checked the accounts of last month and began to verify the various expenditures and material quantities on the construction site in the past few days.

There will be another batch of wine and stones to be delivered later. Just write them down and let Mira take over later.

He looked around and it seemed that no one else was willing to take on the task, so he said hello to Mira and joined the team moving bricks.

The guild was his first home in this world, and he wanted to finish building it and move in as soon as possible.

Wanting to hang out with Mira after the guild was completed was secondary.

Time passes day by day in the busy life.

News has been coming in one after another about the share of apology letters earned by the first group of people who went out to work for the president.

Fortunately, they were not big mistakes. The old man just needed to sit down and write for a while during his work at the construction site.

After completing the mission, Elfman returned with full energy to the construction of the guild, but after working for a few days, he chose another mission.

He is really serious about saving money.

Mira didn't stop him or explain. Anyway, looking at her brother's savings and the amount of the mission, he definitely couldn't save money as fast as she and Rhodes.

Give him a little surprise then.

When Lucy came back this time, she was no longer sad, but just a little helpless and confused.

Because Gray and Natsu, who were following behind, each carried a pool table and looked very happy.

There was an extra box on Erza's luggage cart, which contained two sets of billiard balls with four cues tied to them.
