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

Chapter 384 Maybe, Wood

"I was criticized to such an extent by my old friend. Maybe the 'rule' is wrong."

The Celestial Spirit King looked at Lucy, as well as Natsu who was holding her, Gray who was standing in front of them, and the Fairy Tail members who were surrounding them.

"Leo, who committed a crime to protect his compatriot Aries, an old friend who wanted to save Leo, and..."

The Star Spirit King looked at the crowd below and actually grinned:
"For the sake of this beautiful bond, I will make this an exception. Leo of Leo, I forgive your sins and allow you to return to the Celestial World. You can thank the stars for their guidance!"

"king……"

"If you still want to atone for your sins, I command you to use the power of your friends to survive and protect your precious friends at the risk of your life!"

The Star Spirit King's cloak rolled up and turned into a river of stars, sweeping away the night sky and the stars together and disappearing.

Night turned back into day, and cheers rang out from the cliff.

Natsu smiled brightly, "What? That doesn't make perfect sense. That bearded old man, I thought we were going to have a fight."

Lucy, who was held by Natsu, also laughed: "It's the Celestial Spirit King, it's indeed Bearded Daddy."

The harpy appeared at the right moment: “There’s a relationship.”

"Huh?!" Lucy quickly struggled to break free from Natsu's arms.

Loki smiled with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Lucy, and everyone. I..."

Gray patted Loki on the shoulder and said, "Go and take care of your physical condition. I will settle accounts with you later."

"Thank you." Loki's figure gradually became illusory, and the starlight turned into a golden key and fell into Lucy's hand. "Please give me your guidance in the future."

Lucy's face showed some fatigue, but more joy: "I would also like to ask for your guidance."

"Ah, what's with this wedding-like dialogue?" Mira held her face, "As expected, Lucy and Loki..."

"Yes!" Habby answered quickly.

Lucy protested loudly: "No!"

A group of people followed suit and started to make a noise: "Damn Loki!"

"Even Lucy?"

"Sure enough, I'd better beat him up!"

"Have you said anything?" Lucy's voice almost drowned out everyone else.

"Get...married?" Erza, who had been calm and composed throughout the whole process, suddenly blushed.

"Eruza, wake up soon!"

After the chaotic noise and laughter, Lucy laughed. In this guild, it seemed that she would never have to worry about being alone.

"Solved!"

"gone back!"

Someone clamored loudly to return to the guild.

There are also a few old drivers muttering:
"The blue Pegasus is in the city over there. I heard that..."

"Anyway, everything is fine, so why not... hehehe..."

"Hey hey hey..."

Everyone surrounded Lucy, the great hero, and went back, chatting about topics such as "I didn't expect Loki to be a Celestial Being".

Most people didn't notice that a few sneaky guys quietly left the team.

"They..." Mira watched their actions and wanted to share the little gossip she had just discovered with others, but she found that Rhodes was not beside her. He was sitting cross-legged on the river crab, hanging at the end of the team alone.

Mira fell back and stood in front of the crab.

Hexie stopped tactfully and waited for Mira to get in the car before continuing on his way.

Mira stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Rhodes' eyes: "What are you thinking about? Are you planning to secretly go to the Blue Pegasus to play?"

"How is that possible?" Rhode leaned his back against her side and looked up at the sky. Normally, he would have added a sentence with a higher score, but today he just sighed: "I just suddenly feel a little redundant."

Whether it’s the Larabai incident or the Phantom Ghost incident.

Even though he's involved in everything, I always feel like everything can be resolved satisfactorily even without him.

On the contrary, with his presence, there are more unknown variables.

For example, if he had found Loki first this time, knocked him out and brought him to the Cat Inn, he might have died halfway.

The same thing happened with the devil's heart. If it weren't for him, Elfman might have been able to resolve his heart knot later, but he might not have encountered such danger at all.

In the past, I was always complacent about my improved abilities, better-sounding titles, progress in my relationships, and so on.

But the fact that he almost delayed Loki's rescue today was like a bucket of cold water poured down on his head.

If you encounter this kind of suspected "plot" incident again in the future, will you still take care of it?
Mira patted the river crab on the back and asked it to walk slower.

Then he adjusted his sitting position, placed Rhodes' head on his legs, and gently massaged his scalp with both hands.

"You just like to think too much. It would be much easier if you were simple-minded like everyone else."

"Loki was almost killed by me. We have to care about this kind of thing." Rhodes turned over, hugged her waist, and spoke of his troubles and worries in a muffled voice.

"You're actually worried about this." Mira patted the back of his head without much force, "Have you ever thought that if you hadn't come, without the Crown of Insight and the Crown of Embers, Lucy might have collapsed because of summoning too many celestial spirits in one breath?"

"Probably not."

"If you don't participate in the ghost war, will one of us be killed by Joseph?"

"...The president should be able to defeat him."

"So what kind of suffering would I have to go through without you?"

"..." Rhodes hugged her tighter in his arms. He didn't dare to answer the question.

Mira answered for him: "Are you trying to say, 'Maybe it won't be long before I can get out of this on my own'?"

Mira tapped his head and said, “Should, should, maybe, maybe. Always think positively of the situation when you are not around. ‘Maybe’.

Have you ever thought that maybe someone will really be cursed to death by Larabai, or that the activation of the Phantom Giant may cause casualties to people around the guild.

Maybe if you don't take Elfman out, there won't be any fire left in that village. Maybe I...

You have become an indispensable part of the guild, everyone's most trusted and reliable companion, and an important part of my life.

I don’t want that maybe you’re talking about.”

……

At Mira's instruction, the swift crab became not swift at all and strolled slowly behind the crowd.

Someone would eventually notice that two important people were missing from the team.

"Damn it, they actually used the big crab secretly, I want to sit on it too!" Natsu turned around and tried to run.

Gray grabbed Natsu's scarf, forcing him to run in place.

Natsu turned his head and said, "Let me go!"

Gray pulled him hard: "Although I don't know what those two people are talking about, I advise you not to disturb them."

"That's right, Natsu." Lucy held her face, "Maybe Mr. Rhodes and Miss Mira are saying something romantic, doing something romantic, ah~"

Natsu asked confusedly, "So what? I just went to borrow a crab from Rod."

Lucy spread her hands, "Natsu is such a blockhead."

"Then lend me your crab to ride."

"Keisha can't ride!"
