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

Chapter 38 She

Rhodes naturally didn't want to let Mira face danger. He pressed down Mira's arm and led her to the side of the road.

Mira seemed stunned for a moment, then obediently retreated to the side of the road.

Rod stood alone in the middle of the road, raised his leg and kicked the bag snatcher's wrist, causing the dagger to fly out of his hand into the air.

"hateful……"

Before the bag snatcher could finish his words, Rhodes had already grabbed the man's wrist, then turned his body to the side and pushed hard with his shoulder - a shoulder throw taught by Kana!

With a dull thud, the bag snatcher's body hit the ground heavily, and the bag in his hand was thrown out.

Without even raising his head, Rhodes gently stretched out his right hand to the side and just caught the handle of the falling dagger.

Success in being cool!

Rhodes was quite satisfied with his performance, except for a minor problem in the following steps.

Originally, he planned to catch the dagger, squat down and stick it into the bag snatcher's ear to scare him, but he overlooked some small problems.

First of all, the ground in the commercial street is paved with bluestone, not the land like that in the guild.

Secondly, this bag snatcher is an ordinary person, and his body is not as strong as that of a wizard.

Rhodes used this move based on the strength of his fight with his companion. This time, he knocked the man to the ground, causing him to cough up blood, roll his eyes and faint. There was no need to threaten him anymore.

"Uh... maybe I was too harsh, it was unintentional..."

Rhodes squatted down guiltily to check. The patient was still breathing, but his arm might be broken.

"It's okay. Robbery with a knife is a serious crime. We can just hand it over to the sheriff later."

Mira picked up the bag on the ground and said, "Let's wait for the owner for a while."

Some pedestrians nearby had already gone to find the sheriff, and the person who had been shouting from behind also ran over.

"Isn't that Miss Mira?"

"It's a wizard from Fairy Tail!"

Soon someone recognized Mira and saw the guild emblem that Rhodes' short sleeves could not completely cover.

Someone went to check the bag snatcher's injuries, but after telling the story, not only did no one sympathize with him, some people even looked regretful.

After being beaten up by the Fairy Tail wizard, he only fainted and had a broken arm. This guy is so lucky.

Rhode listened to their praises and strange discussions, and looked at Mira with some doubt: "Have I brought shame to Fairy Tail?"

"That's not the case." Mira smiled, "That was very cool just now~"

And the guild's reputation remains the same as before - 'They are all good people, but sometimes they don't know how to behave.'

The owner was a plump middle-aged lady with a permed hairstyle that looked a bit old-fashioned and with blush on.

Mira handed over the bag: "Please check if there is anything missing."

"Thank you for your help! There is something important in the bag... Hmm?" The aunt was slightly stunned after seeing Mira's face, and then saw Rhodes' emblem.

"You are the one... What a coincidence, my husband is also a member of your guild, his name is Wakaba!"

The auntie pointed at her forehead with her hand and said, "The one with the hair like this, the old smoker."

"So you are Mr. Wakaba's wife. My name is Mira Jane, and this is Rod." Mira spoke to the aunt naturally.

"I often hear him talk about you and your daughter. His life would be a mess without you."

"Really? Did he say that?" The aunt was happy but a little embarrassed. "He knew it was like that."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Wakaba did mention you a lot." Rhodes laughed dryly.

It is mentioned quite a lot, but most of the time it is just complaining.

He found that Mira was quite good at talking. The first half of the sentence, "I often heard him mention..." was true, and the second half, "If not..." was her speculation. However, when put together, it caused a subtle misunderstanding.

Moreover, even if the aunt asked about this kind of thing when she got home, Wakaba would not be stupid enough to clarify it specifically.

Then the aunt asked some questions such as whether Wakaba stared at the waitresses in the guild every day with a lustful look or flicked ashes around.

Mira answered one by one with a smile, and it was as if she hadn't answered at all after she finished answering.

Even though she is a sinister person, she would not say anything that might affect the harmony of other people's families.

Rhodes silently studied the art of speaking for a while, and the sheriff in a brown uniform hurried over with a team.

Wakaba's wife explained the situation to them and confirmed that Rod was acting bravely.

The sheriff checked the bag snatcher's injuries and confirmed that he was not dead, so he had him carried away and took away the dagger as evidence.

As Mira said, armed robbery is a serious crime in this country. Not only was Rhodes not held accountable, he was also thanked.

Magnolia reputation +10.

The matter was quickly resolved and the aunt said goodbye to Mira, her old sister who was very easy to talk to.

"By the way, this is for you, just consider it a small token of gratitude." The aunt stuffed two bills into Rhodes' hands.

She looked at Mira, then at Rhodes, blinked and whispered, "Young man, keep working hard."

"Ah? I..." Rhodes took a look at the ticket, 'Honey Dessert House New Store Invitation Ticket', and before he could refuse, the aunt had already walked away.

"What did she say?"

"Hmm... a gift for us." Rhodes thought for a moment and handed both to her. "Do you like dessert?"

"It's only opening next month." Mira took one and shook it, "Let's go try it together then?"

"Hmm... OK." Next month is just over a week away. Dessert, Rhodes was a little looking forward to it.

"Well, it's time to get down to business." Mira put away the invitation card, took out the shopping list, and opened it to reveal a long piece of paper.

Rhodes leaned over to take a look, then held his pendant tightly, deciding to let the crab carry it back later.

The prosperity of the shopping street was somewhat different from what Rhodes had imagined. Compared with the high-rise buildings and the hustle and bustle of traffic before the time travel, this place should be considered a form between a city commercial street and a country market.

There were quite a few pedestrians coming and going, and the sounds of hawking could be heard one after another. There were both large-scale shops and simple stalls along the street.

Considering that this is a city or town with a permanent population of only 6, such a shopping street should be considered very good.

Mira carefully selects high-quality fruits, vegetables and meat, and skillfully bargains with shopkeepers with different personalities in her pleasant voice.

Rhodes followed closely, taking a food bag from time to time, watching Mira select ingredients, and looking at the surrounding environment.

Some rotten vegetable leaves were randomly discarded near the vegetable stall, and the area in front of the seafood restaurant was wet, with small puddles of water scattered around.

The wind blew over with a fishy smell, a dirty puppy ran by, and people were busy shopping...

This scene is very much like life.

"Rod? Let's go, I have to order some wine next."

When the pleasant voice came, Rhodes woke up as if from a dream. In front of him was that familiar smiling face, and his heartbeat quietly accelerated.

I always felt that this smile was far away from him, but now it suddenly seemed very close to him.

"Why, are you tired?"

"No, let's go."

'We' is a great word.

He just... suddenly had a slightly unrealistic idea.
