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

Chapter 438 Autumn is Here
"Mistergang..."

As soon as Rod came back, he saw Erza asking the president about Mistgang.

Mira was also listening quietly on the side. After all, she had seen with her own eyes a face that looked exactly like Jellal's, so it was impossible not to be curious.

Rhode came closer and asked quietly, "Could it be that Gerald really has any brothers?"

"That's not the case." Makarov thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it from the three of them. "But to avoid trouble, don't tell anyone else."

He looked at Mira in particular.

This time I am serious about not telling anyone else.

Mira pouted. She could still distinguish between things that should be gossiped about and things that shouldn't be gossiped about.

Makarov asked, "Rhode should have heard Polyusica talk about Edolas before, right?"

Rhode nodded and said, "Hmm...ah, parallel world or something. Grandma said that there can be people with the same name as this world there."

Erza guessed: "So Mistgang is..."

Makarov nodded, confirming her guess: "Yes, he is Jellal from that side, he looks almost exactly the same, it's natural that you can't tell them apart.

He only came here 7 years ago, and it was at that time that he met Wendy. You probably still remember this.

Apart from his name and appearance, Mistgang has nothing to do with that Gerald. As for what kind of person he was before, he didn't want to say, and I didn't ask. "

"I see. I understand." Erza nodded and left the counter.

"Erza, we... eh?"

Lucy took a task list and came to Erza excitedly to team up, but Erza ignored her as if she didn't see her.

She asked in confusion, "What happened to Erza?"

Mira replied: "Nothing, I just feel bad."

"Is that so?" Lucy's excitement was dampened a little. She subconsciously thought it was because of Laxus' matter, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Mira asked, "Have you decided to go out to work so soon?"

"Yeah, I wanted to start earning rent sooner, but I guess we should wait a little longer," Lucy said frustratedly, "Natsu and Gray aren't in a good mood either, and even Happy seems sad."

Of course Lucy was also affected, but like Rod, she had only seen Laxus a few times, so she couldn't be as sad as Natsu and Gray.

Mira nodded. She was no different: "It's good to take a break. The festival isn't over yet, so enjoy it. And the results of the Fairy Tail Miss Selection will be out soon. Maybe Lucy can get the prize money?"

Speaking of this, Lucy felt like crying: "That's impossible. I haven't had time to perform yet."

She felt that she might be unlucky these days.

Like she didn't have time to perform in a tryout; like her friends were fighting from a distance and dragged her into it; like she was standing in line to buy something and it was sold out when it was her turn...

It seems like nothing is going well these days, let alone the tryouts.

"Oh right!" Rhodes finally remembered this matter, "Marcus seems to be counting the votes, I'll go take a look."

There was a ballot box in the shop in front of the guild. Marcus grabbed a handful of ballots from it, read out the names one by one, and then threw them into another box.

"Erza, Mirajane, Mirajane, Erza, Lucy, Juvia..."

Lidas took a pen and a drawing board and wrote down everyone's votes one by one.

Rhodes listened for a while and found that almost everyone's name was called, but Leibi seemed to have the least votes.

In comparison, Lucy's name is better, and it seems to appear more frequently than Bisca's name.

He stole a glance at Lidas's drawing board and saw that the number of votes behind the names of Mirajane and Erza far exceeded that of the others.

If nothing unexpected happens, the champion should be one of them.

Lucy said something like she had no hope, but after finishing her cup of tea, she ran to check the vote count.

"how is it going?"

"Congratulations. You'll have a chance to compete with Juvia for the third place."

Lucy's face lit up with joy at first, but then immediately fell: "What's there to congratulate for being the third place..."

"Although there's no prize money, it's everyone's recognition of you," Rhodes consoled him, "and you've already come in third before the show's even finished. If you work hard next year, maybe you can get first place."

"But I need the rent now..."

"Go complain to Alba Green about interrupting your performance so early."

"...Let's just forget it." Lucy was still a little afraid of Alba Green. "I'd better go home and rest."

"Well, bye. Remember to check if Natsu is in your bed before you go to sleep."

"Hmm...why would I bother checking something like this?!"

Although what Rod said was necessary, the more Lucy thought about it, the more crazy she felt.

Normally, who would go to sleep in a girl's bed without permission?

As a result, she had to be very careful when returning home.

After watching Lucy leave, Rod continued to watch Marcus and the others counting the votes. He left only when Mira won by three votes and Lidas started drawing promotional posters.

Before leaving, Rhode rubbed his face, controlled his smile, and returned to the counter with a sigh: "Mira, guess who won?"

Mira looked up at him and continued to lower her head to deal with the documents: "Of course I win."

"You can guess this?" Rhodes took out Mira's small mirror from her bag and looked at his expression. "Is my acting so bad?"

"Your acting is already very good." Mira laughed, "That's why I know I won."

"What's the point of this?"

"Because you tease me only when I win. If I lose, you will definitely be smiling and comforting me... Humph, maybe you will even take advantage of me."

"Why are you so smart..." Rhode hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Besides, I can take advantage of you just by being thick-skinned, I don't need to 'take advantage'."

"It's not because of intelligence." Mira muttered softly, pushing Rod's face away, "Come to work quickly, we have to go out in a few days."

"Okay." Speaking of this, Rhodes became motivated to work.

With a bonus of 50 J, they were one step closer to their wedding house, but it seemed like he had found himself living off his wife without realizing it.

"Ah..." Rhodes sighed, "Little rich girl, can I wash your feet tonight?"

Mira gave him a reproachful look and said something weird without any reason.

Never let him into the house at night.

……

Early the next morning, Rhodes went to Mira's house on time for dinner.

Today, it was a rare day for the brother and sister to work in the kitchen together. Rod wanted to help but was kicked out.

"Go read your newspaper, or go play with Worm."

“My cooking skills have improved.”

"Then there's no need for your help. Elfman is big enough. He shouldn't take up space in the kitchen." "Oh, wait a minute." Rhodes was pushed out of the door by Mira, but he lowered his body a little and leaned towards Mira with his face turned sideways.

"Why do you need to be coaxed like a child?" Mira kissed Rhodes on the face and finally succeeded in driving him away.

Elfman was busy with his own work and didn't see anything.

Rhodes sat back on the sofa and read yesterday's newspaper.

The headline is about Fairy Tail's magical parade, and the next one is a separate photo of the three members of the Thunder God Clan.

At first glance, Rhodes thought that the civil war was also on the news.

But after reading carefully, I found out that the news said that the Thunder Gods wiped out the dark guild "Zombie Soul" with only three people.

It seemed to be something they did before returning to Magnolia.

The three of them wiped out an entire guild without any harm themselves. This can be considered quite impressive.

Considering Alba Green's petrifying eyes and Fried's technique, it is natural that they can achieve this level.

However, Rhodes had never witnessed the power of Bigusro's magic.

I heard that the five puppets controlled by his spirit magic seem to have similar functions to his blue floating cannon. They can launch medium and long-range magic attacks, or fly out directly to hit or smash people.

There are also modeling eyes that can control the body of the person who looks at him, but it is unclear what the specific effect is.

It is said that Erza managed to get through it by relying on the prosthetic eye in her right eye. Others who want to be on guard need to wear glasses or close their eyes.

(Prosthetic eyes are not affected by pupil magic, so Erza has a 50% resistance to pupil magic.)
Rhodes thought he should buy a pair of plain glasses and wear them when he went on a long trip, so as to avoid being ambushed and not having time to take out his sunglasses.

Prepare a pair for Mira as well—Mira looks good in glasses.

Mira stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Rhodes: "It's time to eat, what are you thinking about?"

"Miss you." Rhodes was honest.

Mira's pretty face blushed slightly. Although they were about to get married, the unexpected love words always made people excited.

"You are so smooth-talking so early in the morning." Mira snatched his newspaper and folded it and put it away. This person spoke nonsense without considering the occasion. His brother was still here.

Elfman placed the bowls silently, pretending he didn't exist.

"Why is it so rich so early in the morning?" Rhodes saw that today's breakfast was almost twice as much as usual.

It can't be made specifically for Worm.

"The extra portions are for the Thunder Gods." Elfman said, "I cooked for them yesterday, and they seemed to like it very much. And they may not have much money recently, so..."

"Oh...it would be nice if you could take better care of me."

As long as you are willing to change, you are still a good comrade.

Rhodes was thinking about giving them another Crown of Embers today so that they could recover sooner and go out to work to pay off their debts.

Mira went to get the lunch box again: "In that case, pack it up and take it to them. Elfman is ready to eat with them."

"...Okay." This seemed to be a more appropriate approach, but Elfman suspected that his sister was trying to drive him away.

Mira watched her brother go out with the lunch box with a smile, and she swears to God that she didn't mean that.

She just had a bold idea.

"You know, you know? Elfman has been taking care of Alba Green these two days."

Elfman walked away, and Mira couldn't wait to hug Rod's arm and excitedly shared gossip with him.

Rhode nodded, "Of course I know. After he knocked Alba Green down, I was the one who asked him to bring her back. But he actually carried her on his back."

Mira wanted to say thank you, and even wanted to kiss him. What kind of model brother-in-law is this, beating a beautiful woman to the ground and letting her brother-in-law carry her back?
Although Rod and Elfman certainly didn't mean that at the time, but taking care of the wounded, wouldn't it be...

It's easy to get yourself involved.

Mira hit Rod, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

It's inexplicable, he suddenly hit someone for no reason.

Rhodes picked up the chopsticks and rushed to grab what she wanted to pick up before she did.

The first time Mira thought it was a coincidence, the second time she just considered it a coincidence, the third time... she was going to lose her temper.

Rhodes decisively handed the dish to Mira's mouth: "Ah..."

Mira took a bite and looked at him angrily.

Rhode thought for a moment and decided to bring up the topic that Mira was interested in: "You don't mean to say that Elfman and Alba Green will..."

"That's right!" Speaking of this, Mira no longer cared about being angry. She held her face and fell into beautiful imagination: "I think the two of them are quite a match. Elfman is so outstanding..."

Elfman...excellent...there seems to be nothing wrong with him.

Although he looks a little silly, Elfman is actually a very caring person. He looks tough but is gentle inside. He is very strong and can do all kinds of housework...

In some ways, Elfman might be a better husband than Rod.

At least she cooks better than him.

Rhode suggested, "Let's bully Alba Green later, shall we?"

"why?"

"Then ask Elfman to speak up for her."

"Good idea!" Mira agreed with a smile.

But she thought about it and asked again: "Have you ever thought of such a bad idea to deal with me before?"

"..." What a fickle woman. What she said was a good idea just now has turned into a bad idea.

Rhode flatly denied: "Absolutely not. Besides, who in the guild would dare to bully you?"

"That's hard to say. I was so weak at the time and was bullied, so I just needed your protection."

Rhodes refused to explain, holding Mira's face and kissing her lips fiercely, looking at her with burning eyes: "No matter you are strong or weak, I will protect you, before, now, and in the future, forever."

Foul.

Mira's eyes were shining with a moving light. She tried to turn her head away from Rhode's eyes and said with disgust, "It's so disgusting. You come right after eating..."

"Oh, that's even more disgusting."

Mira smiled and dodged him: "No, go away!"

“I won’t leave!”

The two of them quarreled at home for a long time before going out to work.

The weather is gloomy today, but I don’t feel stuffy.

When they entered the guild, it started to rain outside. The rain was not heavy or fierce, and the wind made people feel a little cold.

The Harvest Festival was an autumn festival, but Rhodes did not realize until now that autumn had arrived again.

Aedras is too easy to be mistaken for Azeroth, so I'll use Edoras later.
