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

Chapter 412: Flickering Thoughts and... Marriage Proposal

Jason asked a lot of gossip about Rod and Mira, and then he remembered to ask about the Phantom and then about the magic he was best at.

I can answer everything else, but I have to answer the question about magic carefully.

Last year, the strongest summoned beast was the river crab, and now the strongest summoned beast is of course the two-headed wolf.

With two heads and such a big body, it must be very strong, believe it or not.

Jason originally planned to interview Mira right after interviewing Rod, preferably both of them together. Unfortunately Mira was not there because she was preparing for the show.

Lucy looked at Jason expectantly.

However, he looked around and rushed to Elfman. "What does 'manliness' mean to you?"

"A man is a man!"

"May I ask what is your attitude towards Rhodes?"

"Rod is a man too!"

"You would rather ask this kind of question than interview me?" Lucy wanted to cry but had no tears. How could this person not keep his word?
Rod expressed sympathy to her, and Happy just laughed unkindly.

Lucy glared at Happy.

But Jason suddenly rushed over and said, "Happy, why are you blue?"

Lucy fell to the ground and pounded her hands on the floor. "I lost to a cat! I'm so unwilling!"

Rhode tried hard to hold back his laughter. He realized that this Jason was more of a Fairy Tail fan than a reporter.

He can call almost everyone's name, and he has a certain understanding of everyone and can even ask targeted questions.

Even the Lane Engine Team was asked whether there was a triangle relationship.

As for Lucy...I can only say that she has been in the guild for too short a time, and Jason hasn't had the chance to become a fan of her yet.

"President Makarov, could you please tell us about your expectations for the guild?"

"Well... naturally, I hope everyone can embrace love and justice, improve every day, and move forward bravely..."

Rhodes swore to heaven that the lyrics were improvised by the president and not written by him.

It was the first time he knew that the president would be nervous when facing an interview with reporters. He had never seen him so stiff even when presiding over routine meetings.

The interview with the Guild Master had just concluded when suddenly all the windows in the Guild were covered by curtains and the lights dimmed, leaving only a spotlight on the curtain of the small stage.

"Here she comes! Please look forward to the performance of our guild's signature girl!" Makarov became energetic, hoping that his speech and Mira's performance would enhance the guild's image.

"Oh~~~~Ms. Mirajane! COOL!" Jason clenched his fists, regretting that he didn't have a glow stick in his hands.

The others in the guild were also quite looking forward to it, as it seemed like Mira hadn't performed for a while.

"Is Mira going to sing?"

“I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time!”

"Damn Rod!"

"Huh?" Rhodes looked over in the direction of the voice. It was pitch black and he couldn't see clearly who was scolding him. Plus, there was a lot of noise, so he didn't pay attention to whose voice it was.

It’s so hard to give away these small shoes, it’s so uncomfortable!
The curtain opened, the guild gradually became quiet, and the spotlight shone on Mira.

At this time, she was wearing a pair of slim blue jeans and a white vest with a blue denim jacket loosely covering it.

She has no necklaces, earrings or other accessories, and her hair is simply tied into a ponytail, looking like a lively girl next door.

Miji's magic bird Xiaobi has turned into a microphone with wings, floating in front of Mira.

The moment he saw her, Rhodes forgot about the troubles he had with her. He was in a good mood today, so he let them go.

Lucy, who had just suffered a great shock, also found a high stool in front of the counter in the dark and sat down, quietly waiting for Mira's performance.

Mira winked playfully somewhere in the darkness and gestured to the band.

The accompaniment sounded, Mira's body swayed gently to the rhythm of the music, and then she began to sing:
"The swaying thoughts ripple in my heart
I want to walk with you, in your dreams
The holiday is approaching
Sparkling waves hitting the beach
......"

Mira's singing is warm and beautiful, like a clear spring flowing into people's hearts.

Listening to her sing this song is like seeing the waves, the beach, and walking on the beach with her loved one.

Everyone couldn't help but show a relaxed and happy expression.

Erza and Lucy wondered if this song was written by Mira after she came back from her last vacation.

"...

I have thought about giving up several times.
I thought I would never meet the right person again.
Now I've made up my mind, just for you
......"

Huh? As Rhodes listened to the lyrics and tune, he felt more and more that something was stirring in his heart.

He noticed that her eyes showed sadness and confusion, but they quickly turned into determination and joy.

Elfman seemed to see the despair he and his sister once had, and also saw his sister walking out of the darkness step by step.

The man wants to cry today.

Other people with more sensitive minds can now tell who this song is for.

I didn't expect Mira to be so romantic...

"...

I want to walk with you, in your dreams
Try to convey your heartbeat with your eyes

You look at me and kiss me back
......"

The lyrics gradually became more straightforward and bold, Mira's cheeks flushed, and her shy yet affectionate eyes made people's hearts beat fast.

Even the dumbest person should know who you are and who I am.

It’s just that they often think of themselves and the people they like.

Bisca covered her chest with her hands, feeling her heart pounding, thinking about her and Arzak, their eyes met, but there was no kiss...

Not wanting to think about it anymore, Bisca held her cheeks with both hands and decided to go buy flowers again later.

"...

I used to be afraid to reveal my inner thoughts.
Deliberately avoiding the tenderness of others
Meeting must be destiny's arrangement.
It changed me so much
The swaying thoughts ripple in my heart.

I want to be with you like this forever,

Even if the lonely season comes.
......"

The singing became light and lively, and the words clearly revealed infinite joy and yearning.

Everyone could see the happiness and anticipation on Mira's face, and many people couldn't help but look in Rhodes' direction.

Rhodes now felt as if something had hit him hard in the heart, and his thoughts had almost completely stopped.

Whether it was Lucy's teasing words and auntie's smile, or the applause, cheers and various looks from others, Rhode could not see or hear them all. Now, his heart and eyes were full of Mira, and he could no longer accommodate anything else.

When the lights in the guild came on and Mira bowed gently to take her bow and looked down at the audience, Rhode instantly passed through the crowd, pushed aside the reporters who wanted to go on stage for interviews, rushed onto the stage in one step, and hugged Mira tightly.

"Oh~~~"

"Woo~~~"

There were sounds of booing and whistling. We knew that the two of them were dating, but it was rare to see such a bold move.

Are we going to kiss again later?

Mira was made uncomfortable by the booing and gently pushed Rhodes: "Let go quickly, everyone is watching, and there are reporters here..."

Jason was not angry at all after being knocked down. Instead, he took out his camera and started taking pictures while lying on the ground.

What he likes most is this kind of explosive scene!
However, there are more explosive points yet to come.

Rhodes let go of Mira and took a step back, his left hand still holding her right hand, while his right hand began to write in the air.

FLOWER
SNOW
FIRE
BUTTERFLY
STARLIGHT
Words written by magic floated in the air, transforming into flowers, snowflakes, flames, butterfly wings, starlight...

Mira watched him write one word at a time, and gradually realized what was going to happen next. She covered her mouth with her free hand, and her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

The two stood hand in hand, first looking at the colorful magic words, and then looking into each other's eyes.

Mira pursed her lips and looked at him without blinking, waiting for him to speak.

"In fact, I have thought of many options, considered many locations, and imagined many opportunities. How can I make you..."

Rhodes stared into her eyes. Although he had seen them many times before, he still felt a different kind of beauty today.

He could see his own reflection in her eyes. Physically speaking, this was probably the result of the reflected light of an object being refracted through the lens, forming an inverted and reduced real image.

But Rod now prefers another way of saying it: 'Her eyes are all about me, and my eyes are all about her'.

"You know I like to prepare before doing anything, but today I just let my emotions guide me and stood in front of you, saying things I hadn't thought through carefully..."

"I think now is the best time, and this is the best place. My heart tells me that even if I am not ready, I must stand in front of you immediately. I can't wait even a minute longer."

Rhodes' mind was in a mess, and his words were also in a mess.

There was already mist in Mila's eyes, and she felt that every word he said now was as beautiful as the sweet love words he usually said.

Maybe it sounds better.

The noise in the tavern gradually died down. Some guys who didn't know the atmosphere and wanted to make noise were either grabbed by the neck and covered over the mouth by their companions, or grabbed by the president's big hands.

Rhode had no time to care about other people's actions. Gradually, only one very clear thought remained in his messy mind:

"I hope to meet someone I can spend my whole life with. I believe I have met this person, and I want to walk happily with this person forever."

"I mean... I want to say - Miss Mirajane Strauss... I have fallen deeply in love with you. Will you marry me?"

Mira's eyes were sparkling and her smile blossomed like a flower. She blinked slightly and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

This person said too much. The location, timing, and preparations were not important. She only needed the last word.

"I'm willing..." Mira pulled her hand out of his, then jumped up and pounced on him, wrapping her arms around his neck and leaving her feet off the ground.

She pressed her face against his and repeated loudly, as if for everyone to hear, "I do!"

Rhode didn't know what his expression was like. He must have been smiling very stupidly, but it didn't matter. He hugged Mira's soft waist and turned around and around on the stage.

"Oh oh oh!!!"

I don't know who started it, but cheers broke out from the crowd, and reporter Jason's "COOL" was also mixed in.

Makarov laughed and let go of a few troublemakers who were about to be crushed. Then he pointed his finger and dots of golden light appeared on the stage.

A puff of pink smoke burst out of Wakaba's pipe, flew onto the stage and drew a heart behind the two of them.

Purple flames also flew out of Makao's hands, and he added a purple heart for them.

All the experienced uncles, brothers and sisters in the guild have reacted and are smiling as they use the magic they are good at to send them blessings.

The younger generation is not as good, for example, Erza is now completely out of service.

She froze there, mumbling something a bride would say to a groom, as if she were already standing at a wedding ceremony.

Leibi covered her mouth. She had heard Rhodes talk about proposing to her a few days ago, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

She belatedly used word magic to add more special effects to the 'background wall'.

Jet and Troy were lost in their fantasies behind Lebi with envy on their faces.

Bisca and Alzak looked at each other, blushing as they looked away, then used gun magic to present fireworks to the two of them.

Happy flew over to Natsu's shoulder and patted the back of his head, "Natsu, fireworks."

"Ah?" Natsu didn't seem very smart at this time, but the atmosphere was so lively that he naturally didn't want to fall behind. He spit out small fireballs from his mouth, which exploded into fireworks above everyone's heads.

Lucy saw Rod rush onto the stage with her own eyes, and was actually the most surprised one at this moment.

She was delighted that she could witness this scene with her own eyes. She unconsciously clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes full of envy and blessings.

Seeing everyone using magic to celebrate, she took out a silver key and summoned Lyra from the constellation Lyra to perform beautiful music for this happy moment.

“Sister! Wuuuu…” The tough guy Elfman shed tears with his mouth grinning in an ugly way. He raised his arms to cover his eyes and kept wiping his tears.

Wallian smiled and put his hand on Elfman's shoulder. Although this guy was crying, all he accidentally read were happy and touching voices like "That's great", "Sister, I hope you are happy", and "Rod is a man".

Bijida pulled Nabu and excitedly performed a strange dance. Although it was difficult to comment on their dancing moves, one could sense their mood.

Laqi and a group of waitresses found the unused handheld firework tubes from the celebration of the guild's opening, unscrewed them, and let the ribbons and sequins fill the tavern.

Gray and Juvia had just walked in after completing their mission and hadn't figured out the situation yet.

But since the atmosphere was so good, Gray decided to get involved first, and Juvia naturally had no objection.

As Juvia waved her hand, thin streams of water flew toward the sky above the crowd, swirling and tying like a living ribbon, drawing all kinds of beautiful patterns, and then condensing into ice crystals, sparkling under the illumination of various lights.

Lidas is very busy now. He has to use his paintbrush to draw flowers, balloons and rainbows, and he also wants to quickly record such a beautiful scene.

Rod, the male lead on the stage, held Mira in his arms and spun around for several times before finally letting her go.

The two looked at each other, with only each other in their eyes.

At this time, any words are superfluous, they can see everything the other person wants to say in their lover's eyes.

Rhodes' head slowly lowered, and Mira looked up at him. As he got closer, her breathing became faster.

Finally, she closed her eyes and kissed Rod amid the screams and exclamations of the crowd.

The lyrics of the song are "Swaying Thoughts" by Izumi Sakai, which is just right for these two people.
