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

Chapter 42 Offline? Natural?
The unlucky president often gets low-paying but difficult tasks, and he can't do everything himself, so he has to leave it to the children.

Originally, the most ideal candidate was Laxus, but his personality was really difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Erza, who has a strong sense of responsibility and sufficient strength, will often step forward to solve these problems for the president.

Rhode thought about it carefully and realized that the reason why Erza was so influential in the guild might not just be due to her strength.

"Wait, wait!" Rhode suddenly discovered the blind spot. "What did Erza mean by completing the mission ahead of schedule? Is it what I imagined?"

Erza nodded, "It's just a one-on-one fight with the entire guild. It's no big deal."

"..." Rhodes was silent. It was no big deal.

Could it be that the outside world is not as dangerous as I imagined?
Rhodes hesitated and said, "Isn't it unsafe to do this?"

"Well, this decision made in a hurry was a bit hasty." Erza reflected on herself seriously, but immediately said,

"Because I was looking forward to the strawberry cake from this store, I couldn't wait for the reinforcements. I will think carefully next time."

"..."

Very good, because I was in a hurry to go home and eat cake, so I played a dark guild alone, which made sense.

Mira was not surprised at all, this was indeed Erza's style.

Moreover, she had read the information about the Scorpion Tail, and Erza could easily deal with it.

The waiter quickly brought Erza's order, and small plates filled the table.

Erza was immersed in the world of desserts, and from time to time she showed a cute expression that was completely different from usual.

Rhodes secretly calculated:
'Erusa defeated an entire dark guild, and I was defeated by Erza.

So my strength is roughly equal to that of a dark guild, which is logically rigorous.

Hahaha, low-key, low-key.'

After finishing his dessert, Rod entertained himself.

Erza pushed the many servings of strawberry cake in front of Mira and Rod and said, "Let's eat together."

Rod asked, "Don't you like strawberry cake the most?"

"That's why we have to share. Sharing with your companions will make the food even more delicious." Erza said this with an intoxicated look on her face, and her tone was almost awesome.

"Since it's Erza's gift, then eat a little more." Mira cut a small cake into two halves and gave them to Rhodes.

Then Erza felt something was wrong the more she ate: "Come to think of it, why did you two come here together... Is it... a date?"

Before Rhode could respond, Erza's face turned red and she couldn't speak clearly. "You, you... what, when are you getting married?"

"Pfft..." Rhodes covered his mouth and almost sprayed the coffee on her face, "You think too far!"

"No, isn't it?"

"It's just that Wakaba's wife gave us two invitations." Mira explained, and then put her hand on her face and said with a sly smile,
"Ah... but it can be considered a date."

"Yoyoyoyoyo..." Erza continued to stutter.

Mira laughed even more happily: "Shy Erza is also very interesting, but it's a pity that Rod doesn't even blush, so it's not as fun as before."

Rhodes heaved a sigh of relief. A month of experience had made him thicker-skinned, or in other words, more receptive.

The most important thing is... when I went out today, it seemed like I was going there with the attitude of treating it as a date.

Now that Mira said this in a teasing tone, I couldn't feel shy at all.

Then Rhodes discovered that Erza was a bit naive.

When he and Mira were already talking about the next topic, Erza was still confirming with Mira whether he was joking or not.

After finally explaining everything to Erza and waiting for her to finish her snack, the three of them left together. "Take care, and we'll welcome you back next time!"

The waiter at the door bowed politely, but Erza suddenly stopped and said to Mira and Rod, "Wait for me."

Rod asked, "What happened to her?"

Mira thought for a moment and said, "Want to pack a few cakes to take back? Probably."

A few minutes later, Erza returned, but her clothes had been changed into the waitress uniform of this store.

Rhodes didn't understand the situation at all. A heroic female knight went in and a graceful waitress came out?

Transform into a living person?
"Welcome, two guests, what would you like to order?" Erza bowed slightly, made a gesture of invitation, then stood up and asked, "How about it?"

The girl in charge of welcoming guests has been fascinated by Erza.

"Very..." Rhodes's word "very beautiful" got stuck in his throat, and he changed it to "very suitable for you."

Mira smiled and clapped her hands: “Very beautiful, why did it suddenly change to this?”

"Because I thought this dress was cute, I asked the boss if he could sell it to me." Erza tugged at the collar.
"Then she said it wasn't for sale, but she would give it to me if I worked half a day here."

Rhodes was a little stunned: "...So you agreed?"

Erza nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, so we have to start working. Can you help me take the luggage back to the guild?"

"No..." Rhodes' head was buzzing.

You are an S-class wizard, and one mission costs several million. Are you selling yourself for an ordinary uniform?

Mira had no intention of stopping her, instead she encouraged Erza: "Come on, we'll take care of the luggage."

……

In the end, it was Hexie who took on everything. Not only did he have to pull the luggage cart, he also had to carry Rhodes and Mira.

"You don't understand? Erza's actions."

Mira sat sideways with her legs together and her skirt tightly pulled up, like a mermaid.

"A little bit. Is that her personality? She seems a little off the track and a bit naive."

Rhode recalled Erza's expression. She seemed to be enjoying it.

Mira said: "I prefer to call it freedom and spontaneity. Erza just likes all kinds of distinctive clothes and likes to try interesting professions.

As for how much the reward would be, it was not within her consideration at all. She would rather say that as long as she would be happy doing so, that would be the biggest reward.

Compared to Erza, no, not just Erza, compared to most people in the guild, you, Rhode, seem too worried and tense.

I don't really understand what you've been through, or what kind of worries and pressures you're under, so I'm not qualified to advise you to relax like everyone else.

But at least today, at least in that little time in the dessert shop, I hope you are happy. "

The same bright smile as when they first met, the same gentle words as when they first heard each other, every word flowed into Rhodes' heart like a trickle of water.

Soft and warm.

Rhodes was sure he had found the reason why he was attracted to her.

"Thank you. I'm...very happy."

"Every day I spend in Fairy Tail is a happy one."

"I'm particularly happy today."
