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

Chapter 371 Fatal Blow
Seeing what Natsu and Gray were carrying, several possibilities flashed through Rhodes' mind.

Is it true that just to deal with a few thugs, the billiard hall was smashed to the point where only two tables were left?
"Welcome back, you've been working hard on this mission." Mira greeted Lucy with a smile, "Did it go well this time?"

Lucy nodded. "Well, although the solution is a little different from what I imagined, at least we have enough money to pay the rent."

"I always feel like something interesting is happening." Mira poured Lucy a drink.

"Watch out, this is how you play billiards!" Natsu shouted at the right moment, "Oops!"

Bang!Snapped!
The white ball was hit by Natsu, crashed through the pile of colored balls, broke the bottom pocket, flew out of the table, and broke the leg of the stool Lucy was sitting on.

"Ah~" Lucy screamed and fell to the ground, picked up the white ball and threw it back, "Natsu!"

"Ah, thank you Lucy." Natsu caught the white ball easily. Lucy was very considerate and didn't need him to pick up the ball.

"I'm not helping you!"

Natsu had already given the white ball to Gray: "We've only broken 6, Gray, it's your turn."

Happy praised, "As expected of Natsu."

Gray argued: "Nonsense, only five of them were broken!"

"You're playing completely wrong!" Lucy couldn't stand these two people and walked over angrily, "You guys, you've been in the billiard hall for several days, and you haven't learned any rules at all?!"

There was a lot of noise over there, and Rhodes just looked up at the sky.

Mira put her hands on Rhodes' shoulders and leaned forward against him, letting Rhodes' arms be swallowed by the abyss.

She smiled and asked in Rhodes' ear: "What color?"

"B... I don't know if it will rain. Let's put up a awning later. It can also block the sun." Rhodes chose to play dumb and turned his head to look at Mira's big eyes close to him. "What did you say?"

Mira looked sad: "It turns out that you didn't pay attention when I talked to you."

"No, I..." Rhodes was a little panicked.

I was careless. How come there is a change of tactics?
Mira chuckled: "Just kidding, don't be like this, it's not like you went there on purpose."

Rhodes just breathed a sigh of relief when she asked again, "So what color is it?"

"I don't know, I didn't see it."

Even if the king of heaven came today, he wouldn’t see it.

Mira finally let him go. She might not care much about this kind of thing, but it was fun to make a fuss like this.

……

Lucy, who had suffered an unexpected disaster, wanted to argue with Natsu, but was obviously misunderstood.

"Hmm? Lucy is going to join us?" Gray seemed to be very professional while rubbing the club head with powder.
"Come on, I'm making a bet with Natsu, the loser only has to take off one piece of clothing."

"No way! Why would you want to bet on something like this? Don't you even know the basic rules? And you only have one piece of clothing left!"

"What does the rules matter? Just have fun. Watch this!" Gray used the same powerful hitting method as Natsu.

This time, the white ball broke through the side pocket and hit Macao's vitals from behind.

Macao and the cart fell down together, and the stones in the cart rolled all over the ground.

A very piercing scream resounded throughout the construction site, and Rhodes even thought he heard the cry of Tom Cat.

Seeing Macao's posture, Rhodes felt a strong sense of sympathy in his heart, and was even scared enough to want to hug Mira.

"Ah..." Mira covered her mouth. Although she felt a little sympathetic towards Makao, she couldn't help wanting to laugh.

When she saw Rhodes's wrinkled facial features, she patted his back gently to comfort him.

Anyone who dares to do this to Rhode... will know why she is called a demon.

Fortunately, Makao was a powerful veteran wizard, and he was fine after he recovered.

But anyone who suffered such an attack would be unable to hold back his anger and say, "You little bastards!"

He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at Gray and Natsu, then took awkward steps to fight.

"Run, Lucy!" The two of them started running, and Natsu did not forget to pull Lucy along with them. It's not that they couldn't win, but they felt guilty about doing this.

Lucy was dragged out of the construction site by Natsu in a daze, and then she realized: "Why should I run after him!"

Fairy Tail is always like this, even if the building is destroyed, as long as the guild is still there, there will be no lack of excitement.

……

Rhodes might be a jinx, because he said it would rain and it really rained that night.

There was thunder and lightning in the middle of the night. Rhodes was awakened by the noise and lay at the window to watch the thunder and lightning for a while. Then he jumped out of the window, his hands turned into raptor wings, and he flapped them violently a few times and ran straight to the guild's location.

Fortunately, we prepared enough tarpaulins, otherwise it would be troublesome if so much wood was soaked in water.

He ran and pulled the tarpaulin to cover the pile of wood, and put stones on the top and in the corners to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.

While they were busy, they saw someone running towards the guild.

First came the girls who lived in the girls' dormitory, such as Erza, Lacy, and Bisca, then Mira, and then Gray, Makao, Wakaba and other careful and reliable people.

Everyone gathered together unexpectedly and smiled at each other.

There was no need to say anything more at this time. Rhodes urged: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Everyone immediately got busy, covering all the places that needed to be covered. The low pressure and sultry heat before a thunderstorm made everyone sweat.

There was another muffled thunder in the sky, and raindrops as big as beans fell, hitting the rainproof cloth with a clattering sound, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a downpour.

A group of people crowded in the tent behind the makeshift counter, looking at the rain in the middle of the night and the dim lights in the rainy night, with relaxed smiles on their faces.

Rhodes put a coat on Mira, wrapped her cool nightgown, and pointed to a top submerged in the muddy water: "Gray, do you think that looks like your clothes?"

Gray first looked at his naked upper body and covered his head: "Oh no!"

"Ice shape fishing rod!"

Gray swung out the fishing rod, and there was an ice hook attached to the thin ice line, which successfully hooked the clothes back.

I don't understand why such thin ice silk can hook onto a piece of clothing without breaking in the heavy rain.

Maybe this is magic, styling magic.

Wakaba said with a headache: "Although the wood is saved, I will definitely get wet when I go back home. My wife will scold me when I get home."

Makao suggested, "Since we're already out here, why not have a drink here and go back when the rain stops."

Bisca asked, "What if it stays this big?"

Makao waved his hand: "Then drink until dawn and start working directly!"

"What about Romeo?" Wakaba was more concerned about Macao's son.

"It's okay. He's sleeping soundly. Besides, he's not a four or five-year-old kid anymore. He's not afraid of thunder."

Of course, Romeo is six years old this year, and he is definitely not a four or five-year-old child anymore.

The two uncles took the lead in moving things in the tent to make space, and encouraged Laqi to make a simple table and stool.

As soon as he sat down, he slapped the table arrogantly: "Rod, you have to work overtime today!"

"Okay, okay, since you still care about the guild."

Rhodes moved the beer barrels and took some Poro delicacies from the changing room for everyone to drink - those were rations prepared for Worm, so he would use them first and restock them tomorrow.

Everyone sat around a table and raised their glasses together:
"For a rainy night carnival!"

"For forcing Rod to work overtime for the first time!"

"For the new guild!"

"cheers!"
