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

Chapter 62 Why?

The two wizards, Phantom and Ghost, were much simpler than Rhodes had imagined.

They were really annoyed with the people from Fairy Tail so they wanted to teach them a lesson, but since they didn't want to cause trouble in the royal capital, they specially ran to the wilderness to block their way.

Perhaps they also have the desire to stand out or make achievements in their guild.

But it does not affect their simple motives, simple plans, and simple lying down.

Rhodes was not sure what the guild's attitude was towards this matter, so he had to seek Mira's advice on how to deal with these two people.

Mira thought about it:
“At most, we can complain to the Council about this matter. After all, it’s just a conflict between a few of us, and it hasn’t escalated to the point where the guild would go to war directly.

And even if we complain to the Council, we might get bitten back, plus the Council's attitude towards our guild..."

Rhodes understood what she meant. This kind of trivial matter could only be attributed to a fight between children.

If the issue is really taken too seriously and the council is alarmed, both sides may be given a lash of the cane, and the presidents of both sides will each write a letter of apology and the matter will be settled.

Considering that Fairy Tail is better at causing trouble, the criticism that their own president will receive may be even more severe.

"So the best thing to do is to pretend that nothing happened and we just picked up two people who were attacked by wild animals on the road?"

Mira nodded: "That's about it. If you're still angry, you can just beat them up."

Rhode looked at the two men:

There were marks on his waist caused by the mouthparts of the stone beetle, and wounds on his arms caused by the bites of the shadow wolf. I don't know if there were any fractures.

Because it was forcibly dragged into the ground and dug out by the stone beetles, its body was covered with dust and looked quite miserable.

"Forget it. What's the point of unilaterally beating up people who have no ability to resist?" Rhodes said, "How long will it take for them to wake up?"

Mira said: "If no one disturbs them, the magic will be lifted in less than half an hour. When they wake up depends on their usual sleep quality."

"Then let them sleep well here." Rhodes said, "How about we go back and ask the coachman to go around here?"

There were no ferocious beasts near the main road, and Rod hoped that they would encounter no thieves or robbers passing by.

"How nasty." Mira laughed, "I agree."

She had no extra sympathy for the two people who wanted to teach her a lesson.

……

"Welcome back, Mira!"

It was already evening when I returned to the guild, and the guild was bustling with activity.

Mira was warmly welcomed as soon as she entered the guild, while Rhodes was warmly interrogated.

The leaders were naturally Wakaba and Makao.

"You are so cunning. You actually went to the Flower City alone with Mira! Damn, I'm so envious!"

"It's a mission, an escort mission."

"I also want to take on such a mission! Hey, you didn't take the opportunity to do anything to Mira, did you? For example, at night..."

"Of course not. We live in a suite, and the rooms are separate."

"Damn it, it's actually a suite! Let's duel!"

"..." Rhodes thought that a duel was not impossible. The two he met on the road were too weak, and it would be nice to practice with them.

"Elfman, come over and say something too!"

"I just heard from my sister that Rod did a great job as a guard." Elfman clenched his fist and bent his arm, "He is indeed a man!"

"Elfman has rebelled!"

"What did you say? How can you use the word traitor to describe a man?"

They were originally chasing after Rhode to ask about Mira, but in the end the topic got off track and they started fighting, leaving Rhode aside.

Small scene, I'm used to it.

"Rod, can you come over here for a moment?"

The president, who was sitting cross-legged on the counter, waved to Rhodes. Mira stood aside, as if she was about to get into work mode as soon as she came back.

"President." "Yes." The president nodded, "How do you feel about the mission?"

Rhodes thought for a moment and said, "Overall, I'm quite happy."

The president showed a gratified smile. It was great that the children who stayed at home every day finally felt the joy of going out.

But Rhode changed his tone and said, "But it's also quite dangerous. You can be spotted even when you're just walking down the street. It's very troublesome."

The president's smile disappeared. Those annoying Phantoms came to cause trouble at this time. Why not just fight them!
When Makarov was young, he was also a powder keg that could explode at any time, but his temper became more restrained as he got older.

Plus, having to take care of so many children, I have to be more cautious in doing things.

If Mira and Rod came back injured today, Makarov would definitely bring the entire guild to attack them without saying a word.

But both were safe.

Makarov didn't think the matter was that serious.

And according to Mira's narration, the two guys who wanted to pick a fight suffered a lot, and in the end they didn't even know who beat them up.

Rhodes did a good job, but his work style is a bit...

But as long as it's for the purpose of protecting yourself and your companions, there's no problem.

Being willing to protect her companions is the biggest plus point in Fairy Tail.

Makarov admired Rod more and more.

"Oh, right, Rhodes." Mira suddenly remembered something, "Give me the letter of authorization. Next is the final process of the mission."

"Oh." Rhodes put his backpack on the counter and opened it, then took out magic books and crystal balls.

Makarov's face became darker and darker. Do I really admire this kid?
"Oh, President, I haven't used any of these. I'll send them back to the warehouse later."

This kind of item does not require payment as long as it is not consumed. It is a small benefit for guild members.

But Makarov is now considering whether to charge some rental fees to help Rod correct his bad habits.

"Here." Rhodes took out the letter of authorization, handed it out, and immediately took it back. He asked, "Should I give it to the client now, or to the president to assist?"

Mira smiled and said, "Now it's the client, Mirajane, who signs to confirm that Mr. Rhodes has completed his mission and pays the mission fee."

Laqi and the other two little sisters smiled like aunts as they watched Rhodes and Mira complete the task as if they were playing house.

Hehe, how come you two have become so in sync after going out once? I'll have to interrogate Sister Mira later, hehehe.

Mira took out the money from her wallet and handed it to Rhodes, then took out the task record book and wrote down the time the task was completed.

Rhode felt the two large bills were a little hot in his hands. "Can this really be considered a mission, President?"

"Why not?" Makarov asked with a smile, "Mira, did Rod violate any rules in his mission?"

"No, President." Mira showed the order form and record book, "All the procedures were confirmed by me personally, and they are absolutely in line with the rules of the guild."

"Then there's no problem, don't worry." Makarov jumped off the counter and walked away slowly.

He wants to investigate the ghost matter.

"Yes." Rhodes felt their kindness and said, "Thank you."

But it’s not a good idea to just accept the money.

Rhodes thought for a moment and asked Mira, “How about I treat you to a meal in a few days?”

Mira seemed to understand Rhodes' concerns and nodded: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Oh~~~~~ Laqi and the others looked at Rhodes with admiration. Why could this man invite Sister Mira out for dinner so naturally?
And it was so easy to succeed!
The world of Fairy Tail is different from that of ninjas and pirates. Generally speaking, there is still a set of laws in place, and wizards are not allowed to take other people's lives easily.

For example, when the Council activated the magic spirit power, because of the possibility of harming civilians, several members argued endlessly, saying things like "our sins will be written into history."

There is also the celestial spirit Leo who indirectly caused the death of a bad woman and was willing to use his own life to atone for his sins.

No matter who you are, life is very important.

This is roughly the world view. I hope no one will ask me why the protagonist didn’t just kill those two people to silence them.
