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

Chapter 436 Gossip and Parade

The farce ended abruptly.

Laxus no longer had the strength to resist, and probably no longer had the mood to resist. A slap from the president could make him sleep well.

The church's losses will be temporarily recorded and compensation will be paid after the harvest festival.

Not only the church, but also the losses of many shops, houses and stalls in the city will be compensated later.

There was no time to take care of all this right now, so everyone prepared to return to the guild first, check on everyone's status, and then decide whether to postpone the magic parade.

Makarov had originally planned to meet with the mayor to resolve the panic caused by the bright light of the Fairy Law.

But after walking for a while, I found that there was no panic at all. Some people even came up to me and asked if there was some special program being prepared this time, which was why there was such a big scene.

Everyone was ashamed and could only say it was an accident.

The stereotype that guilds are particularly troublesome is particularly useful at times like this.

The group slowly walked towards the guild while answering questions from passers-by.

Gray was responsible for carrying Laxus, while Juvia supported Erza.

Erza wanted to find the president to ask about Mistgang, but now didn't seem to be the right time.

Lucy pestered Mira to ask what happened. Natsu was unwilling to end the fight in the middle of it, but Cana hooked her arms around Natsu's neck and asked him to be quiet for a while.

Gajeel actually felt unhappy as well, but was too embarrassed to blend in with them.

Rhode looked at Makarov who was in a bad mood and asked, "President, has Grandma Polyusica checked your body?"

Makarov suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Ah... this, this... Of course... As expected, I should go and apologize to the mayor first!"

Rhodes grabbed Makarov's collar rudely, forcing him to stay where he was. "Why do you feel so guilty?"

Kana said, "Because the president ran away secretly, Granny Polyusica said he was not allowed to get out of bed today, so we chased him and brought him back."

"Oh~" Then Rhodes couldn't let go and let the president struggle like a captured child.

……

"You stupid!"

"Pooh!"

Makarov had just returned to the guild, and before he could say a word, he was immediately hit by a broom and flew away. He was stuck to the wall and slowly slid down.

If an outsider had done this, everyone would have rushed over and pinned the person to the ground and beat him, but the person who did it was Grandma Polyusica.

That's all right, everyone can do what they should do, and some even want to make fun of the scene of the president getting beaten.

After today's farce, sixty to seventy of the nearly one hundred people in the guild were injured, with varying degrees of severity.

Some of them moved around casually as if nothing had happened, while others were wrapped in bandages and cried out in pain.

In fact, before Rhode and his group came back, many people awkwardly apologized to each other, and some even fought again to mend their relationship.

As for those who were not injured, the petrification and spells had been lifted before they could even start fighting.

The three members of the Thunder God group are still lying in the infirmary. Currently, only Fried is awake. Elfman is responsible for taking care of them.

Just like Mira said, Elfman is actually very caring.

When Gray came in carrying Laxus on his back, he received a lot of unfriendly looks, of course not directed at Gray.

This guy Laxus messed up the festival and did something so outrageous. It would be a lie to say that I'm not angry.

But he is still unconscious, so it’s hard for us to say anything.

Polyusica seemed to be tired of beating people, and rudely called Rhodes and the others to stop, ordering Gray to do something: "You guys stand there and don't move. You, put that idiot on the bed, and then take out my medicine box."

She also heard people in the guild talk about the bad things that Laxus had done. If she hadn't watched him grow up, Polyusica wouldn't have bothered to care about him.

"The old ones are idiots, the young ones are idiots too, none of them are worry-free. That's why I hate this stupid guild..."

While complaining, Polyusica checked the injuries of Rhodes, Mira, and Erza and prescribed the most appropriate medicine.

But these three are relatively easy to deal with. Compared to those guys who fought each other until they lost consciousness, their injuries were actually very minor.

Erza took the medicine and bandages, "We can take care of the rest ourselves. You can take care of the president first... and Laxus."

Polyusicaa nodded, and these slightly injured people did not need her care.

Erza said to Mira and Rod, "Okay, Mira, Rod, let's help each other. We still have to prepare for the magic parade."

Rod hugged Mira decisively and said quickly: "We can work in pairs. Erza, go help Natsu and Gajeel. Natsu is clumsy and Gajeel is a newcomer, so he needs your care."

Mira smiled: "Yes."

"That makes sense." Erza thought about it seriously, "Forget about Natsu. With Happy's help, Gajeel really needs some care."

The kindhearted Rhodes and the harmless Mira cleaned each other's wounds and applied bandages where necessary.

"Why is your face so badly injured?" Mira wiped the bruises on Rhodes' face with a cotton ball with some heartache.

The friendship punch was mutual, and Rhodes was confident that Laxus's face would be more swollen than his.

"He must be jealous of my good looks."

"Smelly."

Rhode looked at her cautious movements and lied, "I heard that if your face is swollen, a kiss will make it heal faster."

Mira didn't believe his lies: "I heard? You said it yourself?"

"That's what I heard. Now you've heard it too. Help me get rid of the swelling."

"You should just slowly eliminate it yourself."

Mira folded a piece of gauze a few more times, soaked it in the solution, and taped it to her face with medical tape.

Actually, you can wrap gauze around the back of your head, but it won’t look good. It’s better like this now.

"If I get hurt on my face in the future, I'll do the same thing. Remember?"

"That depends on your performance. Even if the wound is only one millimeter, I might wrap you up like a mummy."

"you dare!"

Rhode's eyes drifted upwards: "Otherwise, just wrap it up no matter how ugly it is."

Mira looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so she gently kissed the gauze that had just been applied.

It doesn't feel good at all, and it even hurts a little. From a medical point of view, it's also unhygienic.

But he couldn't help being happy.

"Okay, I'll remember that." Rhodes took the bandage from her hand with a smile, "It's your turn."

After working for a while and bandaging Mira's wound, Rhode looked her up and down: "Why can you still look so beautiful even when you are injured?"

Mira slapped him with a curved eyebrow: "Don't be funny, we should go save people."

"Save who?"

Mira pointed behind him: "Of course it's Gajeel." I don't know how Erza did it, but Gajeel's neck was wrapped with several bandages, and they were very tight, and his face was almost purple.

His left foot was raised and tied to his left hand. Although he was an iron dragon, he showed quite good body flexibility.

"Very good. Although it was a little difficult, the injured areas are now bandaged." Erza was very satisfied with her results. "You take your time to recover. I'll go see if anyone else needs help."

Gajeel wanted to speak but couldn't. He felt that the injuries Erza inflicted on him were more serious than those inflicted by Laxus.

In the end, Levi couldn't bear it anymore and helped to cut the bandage - Erza's skills were too good, it was impossible to untie it, so she could only cut it.

Rhodes was about to stand up when he was immediately grabbed by Mira.

"what happened?"

Mira leaned over to Rhodes' ear and said, "Tell me, will Leibi..."

"...Impossible?" Rhodes felt that Mira's old habit had come back again. Anyone who got close to her looked like a couple.

"How is that impossible? Don't you see that Levi and Gajeel are blushing a little? And...?"

Mira analyzed several reasons, some of which were not very polite to Jet and Troy.

Although they were all unreliable guesses, they sounded plausible and well-founded, and Rhodes was almost convinced by her.

"Instead of guessing about Reby, why not guess who Erza is most suitable for?"

Mira immediately became excited: "Of course the most suspicious people with Erza are Natsu and Gray! They have been fans of Erza since they were young. I heard that they even take baths together. Also, Simon last time was obviously very different to Erza..."

"Wait, what is 'Erusa faction'?"

"..." Mira felt a little embarrassed now, "Because she often fought with Erza when she was a child, she called everyone who was close to her the 'Erza faction' and didn't allow Elfman to play with them..."

"Haha." Rhode smiled and said, "I am a member of the 'Mira Jane faction' then?"

"You're also an Erza fan!" Mira counted on her fingers and went over the past, glaring at him and saying, "You teamed up with Erza, stayed in the same room with her, and she almost took you to the bathroom to give each other a bath!"

Rhode grabbed Mira's hand and pushed her fingers back one by one: "I have abandoned the dark and joined the light. Now I am an unwavering member of Mira Jane's faction. Let's form a team together, live in the same room, and take a bath together!"

Mira rolled her eyes at him: "You wish."

"Hmph." Rhodes didn't care. It was only a matter of time.

……

Although there were some disturbances, most people were still able to move, so the magic parade should still be held.

The mages in the guild have really good physical fitness. They were fighting hard in the morning, but could basically jog by the evening.

In comparison, the Thunder Gods were in a miserable situation. Although they woke up, they could only sit up.

Bigslow was physically weaker, so he needed to rest for a while after being chopped by Erza. Albagreen and Fried were simply beaten too badly.

At that time, both Rhodes and Miraco were wearing the Crown of Embers.

Laxus also woke up, but had not come out of the infirmary yet. He was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, with his right leg in a cast and a crutch beside the bed as a backup.

Makarov has already talked to Laxus and informed him of the punishment, but it will have to wait until tomorrow to be officially announced.

Laxus accepted it all without saying anything more. He still needed some time to calm down.

The others had no idea what was happening in the infirmary and were busy preparing for the magic parade.

When Makarov came out, he was still complaining: "You are too slow, President. If you don't come soon, we will leave you behind!"

A smile appeared on Makarov's face. "Idiot! How can a magic parade leave the president behind? Hurry up and check if there is any problem with the costume!"

"It has already been confirmed..."

Juvia was a little nervous: "Um... can Juvia really participate?"

Lucy also asked, "Me too, I'm still new here."

"Of course you can. It's a guild-wide event, so you should participate if you can." Rhode said, "I participated in the performance last year."

Lucy asked curiously, "Huh? What did Mr. Rhodes perform?"

Natsu immediately responded, "Oh, Rod performed the Drill...Woooa ...

Rhode pressed his fist against Natsu's face and said with a smile, "It's nothing, just some ordinary magic."

"This is definitely not ordinary magic." Lucy knew it was unusual just by looking at his expression, otherwise why would he directly hit someone.

Natsu jumped up, "You bastard Rod, you wanna keep fighting?"

He didn't even wait for Rhodes to answer and punched him.

Rod wasn't polite either. Let's fight. Let's not mention last year's performance. We are still good friends.

As good friends, if we fight, we must hit each other in the face.

The two of them were fighting with each other, and gradually there was a tendency to drag other people into it.

Lucy was punched because she was standing close to him. She covered her forehead and cried silently: "Why am I always unlucky?"

"This is retribution for seducing Gray-sama." Juvia crouched beside Lucy and slid away after saying this.

"Who wants to seduce him?" Lucy silently moved away.

"Enough is enough, you two!"

"Stop it, Rod."

The ones responsible for breaking up the fight were Erza and Mira. Since verbal persuasion was ineffective, both of them resorted to fists.

Rhode stared blankly as Mira's fist and Erza's fist landed on Natsu's head.

Natsu fell to the ground with two big bumps on his head.

"Oops, I missed by accident." Mira looked at Rhodes with a smile.

"..." Rhodes suddenly felt a pang in his conscience.

Please give Natsu some fire some other day.

"Okay, it's almost time, get ready to go!"

"Oh!!!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the sound of firecrackers rang out around Magnolia.

Colorful fireworks rose into the sky and bloomed in the night, and the light and sound attracted the attention of the people.

After a few minutes when the fireworks stopped, the Fairy Tail magical parade appeared on the street!
Like last year, dance teams, music teams and floats were arranged alternately, and everyone showed off their cheerful dance steps, lively music and unique magic.

As a newcomer, Lucy had the honor of standing in the center of the first car, and danced with Levi and Bisca as a cheerleader that they had not had time to perform in the beauty pageant.

Gray teamed up with Juvia this year, wearing prince and princess costumes and working together to build a beautiful ice castle.

People screamed and cheered, enjoying this magical feast presented by Fiore's number one guild.
