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

Chapter 40 It's over, it's over...

Before you can even warm up to your salary, you have to take out two-thirds of it to pay the rent.

The disposable balance is only 4 J.

Last month, the president borrowed 15 J from Rhodes.

The reward for asking Hibiki to teach him the common language was 8 J, and there was also medical expenses for Ms. Polyusica to help him heal his injuries.

The president had not mentioned that Rhode should pay for these two items, but Rhode could not pretend not to know.

"I will pay back 20,000 this month, and keep 20,000 for living expenses. I estimate that I can pay it back in more than a year.

But in two months the season will change and there will be a lot of things to buy, so I should save a little more and pay it back together.”

Rhodes took stock of his debts and the speed at which he made money, and the pressure immediately surged up again.

"Based on the combat effectiveness of the stone beetle and the three wolves, once we have the toad and the six birds, it will be enough to handle low-difficulty subjugation missions.

Considering the possibility of unexpected situations, I will play it safe and wait for a red or blue buff to appear before doing the task...

It’s better to team up with others.”

Inspired by the salary, Rod made a short-term plan for himself that was both urgent and stable.

In fact, after being certified by the president, Rhodes can now take on many tasks, but he feels it is not safe enough and wants to practice for another month or two.

In the pub, Macao drank a few more glasses of cold beer to cool off, and his voice became a little louder:
"Wakaba, you didn't get divorced secretly, did you?"

"How is that possible?" Wakaba wondered, "Why do you say that?"

"Because I haven't heard you complain about your wife for several days." Macao felt that he had a good point.

Speaking of this, Wakaba was even more puzzled:

"I don't know why my wife has been so nice to me lately, it's like we're back to when we first got married...

Apart from the fact that she looks a little more rustic and has gained a little weight, there is really nothing to complain about.”

Makao burped, then took a few more gulps:

"Damn it, I thought you were unhappy in your marriage like me, why are you suddenly so happy!"

"How can you have an unhappy marriage?" Kana interrupted.
"Didn't your wife divorce you because you only cared about work and didn't care about the family at all?"

"I'm a man. I earn more money to support my family!" Macao argued with a red face, and then his tone dropped again.
"And I've changed. Now I'm not only focusing on work, I'm also taking good care of Romeo... Damn it, I want a happy marriage too!"

As soon as Kana saw Makao's expression, she knew that he was drunk and was too lazy to argue with him.

She held her small wine glass and looked at the big wine barrel in the corner reluctantly...

Humph, you drink like that all day long and yet you advise me to drink less.

The drunken Makao was still asking Wakaba: "Tell me quickly, how did you do it?!"

"I've been told I don't know!"

Rhodes looked at Mira and signaled with his eyes, "It's your credit."

Mira smiled but said nothing.

Seeing that Makao was about to get drunk at any time, Kana reminded him: "Have you encountered anything special recently?"

"Something special... I was robbed more than a week ago. Maybe I got scared by that incident?"

Wakaba said, "You know, the robber was caught by Rod and Mira."

To thank Rhodes, Wakaba tutored Rhodes for several days... Rhodes benefited a lot from the rich experience of this old guild member.

He was even willing to tell Rod which issues of "Soshara" were the best.

Worthless information!

Rhodes decided on the spot to write it down and sell the information to other perverts later.

Macao was still pestering him.

Wakaba was so annoyed that he finally had to take action to solve the problem.

……

After get off work, Rod went to a daily necessities store. He originally planned to buy a bottle of mosquito repellent, but ended up buying a mosquito net.

You have to buy more medicine when it runs out, but the mosquito net can be used forever - a money-saving tip from Rod.

Just as Rod was about to go home, he remembered that Mira had just reminded him that tomorrow was the opening day of Honey Dessert House, and he should remember to bring the experience coupon.

So Rhodes turned and went to the clothing store.

The money was still not saved.

After walking out of the clothing store and a few steps away, Rhodes turned around and went into the barber shop.

Not only can we not save any money today, we even have to add more.

The sound of scissors clicking could be heard above my head, and my hair fell in clumps.

Rhodes stared at himself in the mirror, calmly thinking whether he was moved or had a brain seizure.

This doesn't seem difficult to determine.

The problem is how I look in Mira's eyes. If I were to label myself from her perspective, it would probably be:
A newcomer, a companion, needs occasional care, is more obedient than Natsu and the others, practices very hard... and so on.

After counting for a while, Rhodes found that he was probably just like his other companions, with only a basic good impression of Mira.

The most is that we work together every day, chat often, and are a little familiar with each other.

Rhodes sighed, there is still a long way to go.

By the way, I have gained a little more motivation to practice hard.

……

The next morning, after doing some stretching and hitting the sandbag to stretch his muscles, Rod washed up and prepared to go out.

Tell yourself that you don’t need to think too much at this stage and just get along with things normally.

But her body was honest enough to change into new clothes and she even spent some time in front of the mirror to fix her hair.

After finishing their daily work in the pub in the morning, the two went out together.

Fortunately, the president is here today, Sally and Izzy are also here part-time, and it doesn't matter if Mira and Rod leave temporarily.

Apart from feeling a little uncomfortable with Laqi's fiery gaze, that was all.

From her eyes, Rod could tell that Mira, who gossiped about others all day, would also be gossiped about by others today.

Today Mira wore a beige dress with the hem just covering her knees.

Because the sun has been unfriendly since the morning, she also wore a sun hat with a big pink bow tied on it, showing her youthfulness.

Rhodes didn't pay much attention before, but now he realized that Mira's head was just slightly higher than his shoulders.

The heights are quite a match, bah bah bah.

As I walked side by side with her on the road, a faint fragrance wafted over from the side.

If it was before he traveled through time, Rhodes would have thought it was the smell of shampoo, cosmetics, or perfume.

But he had seen in magazines that there were many magic products for women on the market - magic that could change the color of clothes at any time, magic that could emit various floral scents.

Rhodes wasn't sure if Mira used these, but... this dress was nice, and this fragrance was nice too.

Mira seemed to be in a good mood: "Have you cut your hair?"

"Well, I haven't repaired it for almost a month."

I would feel embarrassed to say that I had it cut on purpose, so I had to find a reasonable excuse.

By the way, I also wanted to know her opinion, and asked casually, "Is the haircut okay?"

Mira tilted her head and looked at it for a few more seconds: "It suits you very well, and you feel more handsome."

"Really?" Rhodes smiled, "Thank you."

It's over. Even though I know this compliment is probably just a polite remark, the joy in my heart can't be suppressed...

it's over... it's over...
