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

Chapter 418: Get married after the S-level exam!
"satyr!"

"I'm a pervert."

"Bad guy!"

“I’m a bad guy.”

"What a nuisance!"

"I'm a nuisance."

Mira's vocabulary was running out, so she could only punch Rhodes' chest and bite his shoulder.

Strictly speaking, this falls into the category of gangster excitement punches.

Rhode chuckled. This was the demon Mirajane. If she didn't knock him away with one punch, it meant she didn't want to fight. So she could act like a spoiled child.

"dare you laugh!"

"Okay, don't laugh."

At most, you won't laugh out loud.

Mira was also tired, so she grabbed Rhodes' hand to stop him from kneading it casually: "What should we do now?"

Rhode thought for a moment and said, "Just go to bed."

Mira got up. She had to take a shower, but she couldn't sleep here. Who knew what he would do later.

However, although……

I can't sleep here anyway.

She tugged at her clothes, which were in a tangle. The top was still okay, but the bottom was no longer wearable.

Mira glared at Rhodes. She could still wear his outer coat, but what about the inner clothes?
"Actually... I have this."

Rhodes took out a small bag from the innermost corner of his closet. In the bag were two sets of underwear, which were very similar to the styles Mira often wore.

Mira's eyes widened even more. Rhodes wouldn't be stupid enough to give her other people's clothes to wear, so he bought them specially!

"You've had bad intentions for a long time!"

"It's better to be prepared. Don't you remember the incident with Phantom? My clothes were damaged and I had no way to change them."

Rhodes stuffed the things into her hands and said, "Don't worry, I washed them after I bought them."

He even knew to wash it!
And he even knows that kind of thing.

Mira pursed her lips, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. She would interrogate him later about what classes he had taken and whether he had had many girlfriends.

She took one set, thought about it, and stuffed the remaining set back to Rhodes.

Then she said nothing, got out of bed barefoot, walked to the door and got Rod's slippers to put on.

Rhode took the underwear she stuffed back. Was this a hint or an explicit statement?
He looked at Mira's fair little feet and suddenly had a bold idea.

No, no, Rhodes put away his clothes and patted his face to sober himself up.

He wondered if there was something wrong with him, because recently when he was with Mira, he kept thinking about that.

There will be all kinds of weird ideas popping up...

That’s not right. It would be more strange if you didn’t want to, right?

I'll have to chat with the experienced uncles in the guild someday, gossip about their love history and inner journey, and ask about their experiences indirectly.

Maybe I can also resell the Blue Pegasus invitation tickets to them at a low price and make a little extra money.

Now...I have to change the sheets first.

"Give it here." At this time, a small hand stretched out in front of Rhodes, and he almost took out the invitation ticket.

"what?"

"Clothes." He even prepared underwear secretly. Mira didn't believe that he didn't have anything else.

"..." Rhodes thought for a moment and took out a nightgown for her.

Seeing what she was about to say, Rhode said quickly, "Actually, I need to take a shower too. How about we…"

"Don't even think about it!" Mira fled into the bathroom and locked the door.

This time Mira took a shower much faster, probably because she didn't wash her hair.

The nightgown Rhodes bought was very good. You couldn't see anything, but it seemed like you could see everything.

Mira wanted to say 'I'm going back', but she sniffed lightly and saw the changed sheets, and her face turned red again.

She silently opened the window as wide as possible.

"Why don't you just stay?" Rhode hugged Mira from behind and kissed her earlobe gently.

"Elfman is already asleep at this time. If I go back to open the door, I will wake him up. It would be even worse if he is not asleep. My sister went out with her brother-in-law at night and changed her clothes when she came back. It's too strange."

Wouldn't it be weirder to wait until tomorrow morning to go back together? Mira's ears were itchy, but she didn't say anything and didn't push him away.

Rhodes continued to whisper in his ear a hundred reasons why he didn't want to go back, accompanied by some small movements of his hands.

Not sure if she was annoyed by what he said, or if she was moved, Mira broke free from his embrace and pushed him: “Go wash up quickly, or you are not allowed to get on the bed.”

"I can't get on my bed yet." Rhodes muttered to himself and went to the bathroom, unable to hold back the smile on his face.

Actually it’s nothing.

We slept in the same bed when we were on a mission, and we also slept next to each other when we were playing all night in the guild.

This time, the location was just changed to his house, no big deal.

This is how Mira comforted herself.

It's just that there's some more touching and kneading before falling asleep.

Needless to say.

……

The heat of September has not yet subsided and the daybreaks are still early.

But it was around six o'clock and the sunlight was already shining obliquely into the bedroom through the window.

The two people were lying quietly on the big bed. Rhodes's posture was ordinary, while Mira's sleeping position was a bit worse.

Her head was resting on Rod's shoulder, her right leg was across Rod's leg, her arms were hugging Rod's upper body, and her long white hair was scattered messily on the bed and Rod's chest.

Apparently, she treated Rhodes as her pillow again.

When Rod woke up, he felt a little heavy and thought it was Worm pressing on him.

When I opened my eyes, I saw indeed a bunch of white hair, just a little longer.

He woke up and remembered that he seemed to have crossed the '38th Parallel' before going to bed last night. Looking at Mira's sleeping posture, she must have crossed the line.

Rhodes hugged her with peace of mind.

But Mira also woke up immediately.

She seemed a little dazed. She rubbed her eyes and rubbed the pillow. When she found that the touch was not right, she remembered where she slept last night and sat up suddenly.

"You crossed the line!"

"How could it be me in this sleeping position...it's really me!" After Rhodes sat up, he found that he was really on Mira's side.

This isn't right. He always sleeps lying flat on his back. How could he have possibly jumped over it?
Rhodes looked at the wrinkled sheets and looked at Mira suspiciously: "Did you find a pillow in your dream and drag me over here?"

It’s hard to say whether other people’s wives have this strength, but his definitely does.

"How could I possibly..." Mira felt more and more guilty as she spoke. It was possible that she did, "Did you do anything secretly?"

"It looks like you did something to me secretly."

"I don't!"

There was no point in arguing about this, Rhodes hugged her: "Then I want to do something to you now." Mira pushed Rhodes' chest: "Why are you so energetic so early in the morning?"

"If you're not energetic in the morning, you'll be in trouble."

"rogue."

Mira found that this man was becoming more and more blatant, and was a little worried that he might turn into a middle-aged lecher like Makao and Wakaba.

……

After fooling around for a while, the two washed up and went out to work together.

Mira originally wanted to make breakfast, but the kitchen in Rhodes's house had not been used since he moved in.

Although it is cleaned regularly and not dirty, the kitchen lacks the necessary utensils. Even when making a boiled egg, I don't know what to use to scoop it out.

Rhodes did have a picnic pot, but it would be weird to set up a camping stove here.

There was no choice but to go to the guild to eat.

"Good morning, Brother Goodman."

"Good morning." Goodman greeted casually and turned around to continue working on his own things, but a second later he turned his head back suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Mimi...Ms. Mirajane?"

"Good morning, Mr. Goodman." Mira concealed her shyness and greeted him with a smile.

"You...you two..."

It's not like he had never seen two people walking together before, and he knew that they were dating, but this was the first time he had seen them go out together like a newlywed couple.

"Oh, yes, I haven't had time to introduce her to you yet." Rhodes happily put his arm around Mira's waist, "This is my fiancée, Mirajane."

"Ah, you are engaged?" Goodman said quickly, "Congratulations, congratulations to you!"

"Thank you." The two looked at each other and smiled.

Goodman asked, "By the way, when are you getting married? I will definitely prepare a gift for you then."

Rhodes said: "It's not confirmed yet. If everything goes well, it will probably be in late December, which is the end of the year. It may also be on New Year's Day."

The two of them had a brief discussion last night.

I haven't had much time these two weeks as I'm busy with the Harvest Festival. After the festival is over, I'll take on one or two higher-paying tasks, and then choose a house and decorate it.

These things can probably be completed by early November, and then we can start preparing for the wedding.

Although Mira didn't mention it, Rhode remembered that Lisanna's death anniversary was in mid-November, so it was not a good time to choose that time.

Furthermore, there will be an S-rank exam in early December, and many people in the guild, including Elfman, Natsu, and Gray, will be cramming to complete missions and get mission evaluations, so they may not have much free time.

Although Rhode didn't want those troublemakers to cause trouble at his wedding, it would be a shame if they were not there to witness it.

So they simply set the wedding date after the S-level exam.

In this way, if Rhodes passed the exam, he could also get rid of the suspicion of being a gigolo. How great it would be for two S-ranks to get married.

After roughly deciding on the wedding date, both of them were quite excited. They even briefly discussed the wedding process before going to bed.

Rhodes was not very clear about the customs here, but Mira had seen some of them with her own eyes, and they were generally more Western.

Residents of Magnolia generally go to the Cathedral of Carthia in the city center for ceremonies.

It's probably the oath, exchange of rings, kiss of commitment, blessing from the priest, and speech from the father.

Then we'll have a celebratory party and then go on our honeymoon.

The relationships between wizards might be even simpler; some don't even have a honeymoon; they get married one day and go back to work the next.

People like Rhode who were obsessed with buying a house were a minority. It was common for newlyweds to rent a house near the guild together.

Since Mira had experienced the anxiety and lack of security when she didn't have her own house, she had always supported Rhodes in this regard.

Rhodes also realized this, so he followed Mira's wishes in terms of the wedding process and ceremony.

Seeing how she looked longingly when she talked about other people's weddings, Rhodes thought he must satisfy her.

Rhodes hoped to follow the procedures here as much as possible and make the wedding the most beautiful she had imagined. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. There was no need to do anything special.

But Mira still had a little worry that she didn't tell him.

When getting married here, the woman needs to change her surname. For example, Biska's full name is Biska Mulan. When she marries Arzak Gonil, she has to change it to Biska Gonil.

Mira didn't know what the rules were on Rhodes' side. Should she call her Romilajene or Mirajene Luo?

……

Work in the guild was going on as usual, but Elfman came a little later than usual.

My sister didn't come home last night.

My brother-in-law didn't go to have lunch this morning.

But when I got to the guild, I saw that the two of them were already there, and were working together.

Even if he didn't like using his brain, Elfman knew what it meant.

But they were getting married soon, so it wasn't something he could worry about.

He felt that if he asked another question now, something exciting would definitely happen.

Forget it, I'd better take a mission and hide out for two days to think about it.

He is now very confused. Will his sister move to Rod's place next, or will Rod move to their house?
Should he go out and rent a house?

Elfman looked at the bulletin board in confusion for a while, tore off a task list that interested him, and then stood there with Nabu as punishment.

After waiting for a long time, Wakaba finally came and tore off a piece of paper. Elfman followed behind him and tried to reduce his presence, hoping not to attract his sister's special attention.

"The Harvest Festival is coming. Why go so far away?" Rhodes said as he helped Wakaba register.

"It's because the Harvest Festival is coming soon, so I want to make some money in advance and give it to my wife." Wakaba plans to stay at home starting next week and give himself a vacation of ten days or half a month.

But if he wanted to do that, he had to come up with enough money to shut his wife up, and also save himself some money for cigarettes and alcohol.

He looked at Mira who was leaving with the tray, and whispered to Rhodes: "You will understand this kind of trouble after you get married...but you may not have this kind of trouble."

Rhodes nodded: "That's right, our Mira is sensible and considerate."

"No, what I mean is that Mira can find out exactly how much money you make, so there's no way you can hide any private money."

Wakaba started laughing as he spoke, "Hahaha, there are a lot of people who envy you. I made a bet with them yesterday that you will be the poorest person in the guild after you get married!"

"..."

What you said actually makes a lot of sense.

Marrying Mira is equivalent to marrying the company's financial director. She can calculate exactly how much salary, bonus, and subsidy are each month.

Mira was responsible for distributing all of Rhode's wages, and wizards were not allowed to take private jobs outside the guild, so she knew clearly the remuneration for all tasks.

Even if the client temporarily increases or decreases the remuneration, he or she will contact the guild afterwards and provide written materials.

Unless you are as shameless as Phantom and threaten the client with force, there is no way to obtain any income other than recording.

"It doesn't matter. My Mira is sensible and considerate." Rhodes repeated it again, not knowing whether he was trying to convince Wakaba or himself.

Wakaba took the stamped task sheet and shook his head meaningfully: "Women change before and after marriage..."

As soon as he turned around, he was met with Mira's kind eyes.

She only heard Wakaba's last words and wondered what he meant. After waiting for Rhodes to propose, he came to persuade Rhodes not to get married?

Hmm... where should I bury it?

Wakaba almost dropped the pipe in his mouth. He swallowed and quickly tried to make amends: "...women tend to become more considerate after marriage."
