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

Chapter 410: Procrastination
The news of the destruction of the Council headquarters occupied the front page of all major newspapers. Not just newspapers in the Kingdom of Fiore, but newspapers in the entire Ishgar continent.

Because this kind of thing really affects the lives of ordinary people.

The residents of the city have been more careful when going out recently. Even Goodman would stop Rod and ask him questions when he went out.

Fortunately, this is Magnolia. Whenever people see two or three unreliable wizards chatting and suddenly fighting on the streets, they feel particularly reassured.

We have Fairy Tail here, the number one guild in Fiore.

I don’t know if it’s to find a sense of security, but the residents like to sit in the Fairy Tail tavern when they have nothing to do.

As a result, the pub's business was booming.

Rod has officially taken office as the store manager. Makarov even granted him and Mira half a day off so that they could choose suitable clothes.

Rhodes, such an upright man, was forced to go shopping with his girlfriend with pay, and because the clothes were uniforms, he could even use public funds.

His conscience was really...not at all uneasy.

And I enjoy it very much.

Mira had already decided to take him to choose a suit, so the two of them went shopping in stores like this.

"Why do I feel like the president is more enthusiastic than the two of us?"

"What? Are you not excited about going shopping with me?"

"How is that possible? I can't wait to spend the whole day there."

Rhodes stood up straight with his chest and head held high. Mira took a piece of clothing and put it in front of him along with the hanger.

She pulled her sleeves to signal Rhode to reach out his hand as well, then looked carefully for a while, hung the coat back, and chose another one.

"It seems like we can just go shopping for a whole day. Just tell the president that we are doing some purchasing for the guild." Mira laughed. She found that she had become bad and was unconsciously thinking about how to perfunctorily deal with the president.

"Try this one on." After comparing for a while, Mira finally found one she liked and pushed Rhodes into the fitting room.

Rod asked, "If I say I don't know how to put it on, will you come in and help me?"

Mira quickly pulled the curtain shut: "Hurry up."

How can a man be fast... Taking off and putting on clothes does have to be fast.

Mira spoke to him through the curtain: "Actually, the president received news this morning that reporters would come to interview tomorrow, so he asked us to make everything more decent."

"It's just an interview, there's no need to go to so much trouble, right?"

"Because the guild has just been rebuilt, the president hopes to let everyone see the new look of our guild, so as to change its past image."

"I think he's overthinking it."

As he spoke, Rhodes had already changed his clothes and opened the curtain.

Mira looked him up and down: "Change your shirt, and then I'll see whether the tie or the bow tie looks better."

After working for a while, Mira helped Rod tie his bow tie, stepped back and looked at it carefully for a while, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

But she stepped forward and measured Rhode's waistline, then reached out and pressed Rhode's belly: "Let them change the size here. It will be more energetic if it is tightened."

Rod reasonably suspected that she was secretly touching her abdominal muscles.

"Give me a white suit now, what will I wear at the wedding?"

"Who cares about you!" Mira pouted and drove him back to the fitting room.

He's been so procrastinating and hasn't even proposed yet, yet he still has the nerve to mention a wedding.

Give him one last month. If he doesn’t propose, we won’t get married!
Well... two months!

Three, three months? Mira hesitated for a while, and if she didn't ask for help, she would have to do it herself.

When Rhodes came out, he immediately felt like he was glared at.

Rhode was confused as he watched Mira carry the clothes to check out and make suggestions for modification. Did he make her wait for a long time? No way, he changed clothes very quickly.

The two left side by side, and the clerk assured them that the clothes would be altered in the afternoon and asked them to pick them up later.

In fact, it would be better to go to a tailor shop to have this kind of clothes tailored for you, but I can't do that now as I need them urgently.

When passing by a store on the way back, Mira suddenly stopped and stared inside without blinking.

Rhodes took a look and saw it was a bridal shop.

Mira had unknowingly walked to the glass window and looked inside, whispering, “I don’t know which one looks better on me.”

"You look good in any of them." Rhode felt that he would be doomed if he said this now.

He asked, "Do you want to go in and try it?"

Mira was obviously tempted, but in the end she rolled her eyes at him and turned away: "No, I'm going back to the guild."

Rhodes hurried after him, silently wondering whether he should adjust the order of his short-term to-do list.

……

As soon as the two returned to the guild, they saw the president crying.

Because the new guild finally couldn't escape the fate of being smashed.

It seemed like Natsu heard from someone that Gajeel had joined the guild, so he came here to pick a fight. He also wanted to ask him where he learned his dragon-slaying magic and whether he knew any news about dragons.

But Gajeel had gone out to work, and Natsu was unable to find him.

It just so happened that Natsu felt that something was wrong with the new guild and was dissatisfied with everything about it, so he 'naturally' made a big fuss.

The guild was now in a mess, and the two of them didn't know where to start if they wanted to go in.

Lucy was crouching under a table in the corner with her hands on her head. Her posture looked very seductive. No, she was very scared, but she had a happy smile on her face.

It seemed that Lucy saw Rod and Mira coming back, so she crawled out embarrassedly and walked around to the guild entrance.

Rhode asked, "Why did it become like this again? Didn't Erza try to persuade him?"

"Erza was the one who fought the hardest," Lucy said, "because the uniform she was about to earn was damaged."

"Where's the president? He's been here today, right?"

"Don't mention it. The president suddenly turned into a giant. Although he stopped Natsu, he also caused a lot of damage."

No wonder he didn't lose his temper but was crying instead.

"Elfman!" Mira ran to the wall, and came back when she saw her brother was still alive, "Why is he hung on the wall again?"

"…Because he was killed instantly at the beginning." Lucy found that the big guy Elfman was easily killed.

He was obviously very good at fighting when he was fighting against Phantom earlier.

Maybe he's just like Natsu, who is very strong but is always easily dealt with by Erza and Mira when provoked.

"Rod! Mira! What should we do...Tomorrow Soshara's reporter will come to interview us, and he's an ace reporter!"

Makarov cried, "I told them to be quiet for the next two days, but they messed up the guild again!"

"You are not qualified to criticize others, are you?" Lucy complained to the president in a low voice, "And Sosara is coming to interview? This is a good opportunity to become famous!"

Beneath Lucy's cute appearance, she has a heart that wants to be in the spotlight.

Thinking of how Rod had become the 'strongest newcomer' after an interview last year, Lucy encouraged herself.

She also wants to be known nationwide as the best newcomer!
