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

Chapter 408: Rhodes, the newcomer you want is here
Kana and Leo, the first sign of the zodiac, are both not reckless men who only know how to fight, so it will be no problem for them to deal with a small guild together.

"Lucy has found a treasure. That guy's magic power is very strong." After just one simple try, Rhodes had some idea of ​​Loki's strength.

"Loki came to the human world with his own magic, so his strength would be limited to a certain extent. If Lucy had summoned him instead..." Mira thought about it and snickered, "Maybe the restrictions would be even greater."

"That's too rude to Lucy...even though it's the truth." Rhodes corrected her, but not completely.

Lucy's current magic power is indeed a bit disappointing to the star spirits of the zodiac.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, and dealt with some trivial matters, and half a day passed quickly.

"Didn't the president come back with you? Why hasn't he come in yet?"

"I got stuck at the door when I came back just now. It shouldn't take that long, right?" Rhode asked when he saw Laqi coming in from outside, "Have you seen the president?"

Laqi said: "The president drank a few glasses of wine outside and left in a hurry, as if he remembered something important."

What else could be important at this time? All the important things were written down in Rhode's little notebook.

If you don’t know, just let him be. He will tell you the important things when he comes back.

Towards evening, Lebi and Lucy came in from the backyard together. They seemed to have been playing in the swimming pool all afternoon.

The two of them were talking and laughing, like two youthful high school students.

Her hair was not completely dry yet and was casually draped. Although she was not wearing a swimsuit, she looked more sexy than someone wearing a swimsuit.

I have to criticize Lucy by name here.

It's OK that Leibi's collar is not properly fixed, since there's nothing to see anyway. But Lucy's collar is also half open, which is really not treating her brothers as outsiders.

Both Jet and Troy followed him from the backyard all the way to the tavern.

"Rod (Mr. Rod), are you back?"

"Yeah." Although two beautiful girls were sitting in front of him, Rhode didn't look away. "I've been in meetings with the president for several days. It's been so troublesome. You guys are quite leisurely."

"Because the weather is very hot, and it's rare that the guild's swimming pool is open."

Lucy felt a little guilty. After all, they went out together. They came back to play first, but left Rod behind to help the president.

"I just finished my mission and came back." Leibi said that she was very hardworking.

"By the way, I bought a very good novel outside. I will lend it to you after Lu-chan finishes reading it."

"Really? What's that about?"

“It’s an adventure story with a bit of suspense. The most important thing is that the author’s writing is very good, and it seems like you are actually there.”

"You're my type. Just consider it as a thank you. I'll treat you to something to eat." Rhode said this and turned to look at Mira. "How is it?"

Mira rolled her eyes at him. It wasn't something she would get jealous of.

"You're welcome then!" Leibi happily ordered what she liked.

Jet and Troy widened their eyes. Why could Rod speak so naturally?

And Leibi agreed easily!

It seems that even if he asks Rebby to go out and play, Rebby will agree - as long as she is not beaten to death by Mira.

Damn it.

Jet and Troy ordered beer depressedly, and sat at the table looking at Rod with resentment.

Lucy looked at him expectantly.

Rhodes said mercilessly: "Don't look at me like that, it's not yours, pay me back quickly."

Lucy was surprised and asked, "Why are they treated differently?"

"Because I'm short of money, Mira and I paid for the hotel's losses a few days ago. Hurry up and return your share." Although it was mainly Three Crows and Xio who destroyed the hotel, the amusement city, and caused the riots, the final losses were still borne by them.

Rod's already cash-strapped account was further hit.

"I forgot!" Lucy covered her head with her hands, as if struck by lightning. "No wonder I suddenly felt so well off. I thought I wouldn't have to worry about the rent!"

Mira said with a smile: "Don't worry, Loki has already gone out to work for you."

Lucy was surprised and asked, "Loki? When did it happen?"

Mira asked curiously, "Don't you know it yourself?"

Lucy searched the keychain on her waist and found Leo's key. She resisted the urge to summon Loki:
"I told him I wanted him to rest for a few more days, but he ran away without permission! Why did he suddenly want to go to work?"

Mira smiled and said, "Because he still had some things to deal with in the human world, and he happened to meet Cana who was looking for teammates."

"How can there be such a careless star spirit..." Lucy complained, not looking angry at all.

After all, Loki had his own life in the human world and had all kinds of friends. That was his freedom, and Lucy didn't want to interfere.

"Oh... so I have to go to work too." Lucy didn't expect any reward from Loki for the mission. That guy might have his own use for her.

Rhode said, "It just so happens that the guild has received a lot of crusade missions today. You can consider it."

Lucy was dejected: "I can't complete the subjugation mission alone."

Leibi asked in confusion: "Why? Didn't Lu-chan join the strongest team?"

"Erza has to be a waitress in the guild for a week, and Gray has to go out with Juvia to work. Natsu said that he hasn't burned enough, so he wants to do special training with Happy. I'm the only one left..."

Rod was somewhat responsible for Natsu's situation, because he decided to undergo special training only after being easily flung away by the mountain dragon.

But this does not affect Rhodes' debt collection.

Lucy was not the kind of person who would not pay back her debts. She asked with a bitter face, "Ms. Mira, is there a mission suitable for me to go alone?"

"Well..." Mira thought for a moment and took out the uniform that Rhode had put away. "Knock knock, this is the most suitable job. The waiters in the guild are paid very well. I think this uniform is also suitable for Lucy."

"...I'll think about it." This time Lucy didn't refuse directly.

After being a member of the guild for more than two months, she has experienced all the thrills and excitement. It is not bad to try an ordinary job occasionally.

Lucy and Lebbie quickly started eating dinner.

But when they were halfway through their meal, the guild suddenly became quiet.

The people at the counter looked over. Lucy showed a surprised look, Levi covered her mouth, and Mira and Rhodes were a little confused.

Because the president is back, and with him follows an 'uninvited guest' - the former ace of the Phantom Ruler, the Iron Dragon Slayer, Gajeel.

Many people recognized him as the culprit who had previously destroyed the guild. Some who did not recognize him at first finally remembered him after being reminded by their companions.

The tavern was quiet. Some people had already stood up from their seats. If the president hadn't been there, a fight would have probably started by now.

Facing everyone's strange looks, Makarov said with a smile: "This is Gajeel. From today on, he is a member of our guild!"

One stone can cause a thousand ripples. The president's words made the quiet guild suddenly become noisy.

"what?"

"President! What are you talking about?"

"How can we let such a person join!"

There were sounds of confusion, questioning, and even banging on the table. Not only did this man destroy the guild, he also ambushed and injured the Lane Engine Team. How could he be allowed to join so easily?
