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

Chapter 63 Work, Work
Mira made up a random excuse and drove away Laqi and others who were making a fuss.

He whispered to Rhodes, "If we want to treat you, what about the rent?"

She hadn't forgotten why Rhodes wanted to take the mission before.

Rhode said with a bitter face: "Take another mission in the next two days... Please keep an eye on it for me, and I will also ask if anyone wants to form a team."

Mira smiled and said, "Okay~"

Rhodes is making progress all the time, so the president doesn't need to worry too much.

It was still early before the guild closed, so Rhode went to the backyard to do some iron and boxing. He hadn't exercised properly in the past two days and felt uncomfortable.

He exercised for a while before stopping, taking a shower in the guild's bathroom, and returning to the tavern to chat with Marcus and the others.

There are enough people today, so Rhodes only needs to lend a hand occasionally.

With Rhodes around, the topic of conversation naturally turned to him and Mira going out alone.

But Rhodes' main purpose was to remind everyone to be more careful when going out to work, so he tried hard to bring the topic to the matter of Phantom.

"The Ghost people actually did this kind of thing!" Arzak was a little angry, but then he became envious.

"But in the process of forming a team, I perfectly protected the people I wanted to protect. Isn't that cool?"

He wanted to invite Bisca to form a team and protect her well. If that happened...

Rhodes looked at Alzak's expression and secretly reflected on whether he had ever shown such a stupid expression.

"The Phantom guys are really annoying." Nabu condemned the Phantom and then comforted him.

"But this should be considered an isolated incident. The chance of wizards from different guilds meeting each other is not high."

Rhode glanced at the person who was speaking, and said carefully: "Nabu, I find it hard to believe what you said."

Nabu was stunned: "Huh?"

Marcus laughed. "That's right, Nabu. You should at least complete one or two missions before you are qualified to say such things!"

"Rod, this is for you." Lidas suddenly handed Rod a piece of paper.

Rod took it and saw a picture of him and Mira going out together.

At that time, I smiled and waved at the two people's backs. Everyone in the pub was noisy. Laqi and a few others gathered together and covered their mouths with their hands and laughed. There were also a few people looking at the door in surprise or envy.

Rhodes and Mira stepped out of the guild gate, turned their heads and looked at each other, talking about something.

The smiles on their faces were as bright as the sunshine that morning.

Lidas said, "I thought the scene was beautiful, so I drew it as a souvenir of your first job."

"That's a great painting, Lidas!" Rhodes was delighted. "I'll keep it well!"

Lidas was also very happy. Rod's expression when he saw the painting was the best compliment to him.

Nab was still arguing with Marcus that he was not not going to work, but he wanted to find a job that only he could do.

But seeing such a good painting, the debate immediately stopped:

"Lidas, I go in and out every day, why are my paintings not there?"

Lidas adjusted the brim of his hat and said slowly, "If you decide to go out to work, I can draw as many pictures as you want."

Nabu slammed the table and stood up: "How disrespectful! I'm going to check the notice board now!"

Rhodes couldn't help but remind him, "Don't be impulsive. Think carefully before you choose!"

Lidas said, "Don't be nervous, I bet Nabu will be back in ten minutes."

Marcus smiled and said, "No, there are quite a few tasks on the bulletin board today. It will take about 20 minutes."

Famous Fairy Tail scene: Nabu is looking at the bulletin board.

Scenes that don't exist in Fairy Tail: Take the cloth to work.

"..." Rhodes still didn't understand what kind of psychological problem Nabu had, since he was obviously quite capable.

His summoning magic, the Bear Spirit, can give Nabu the power of a bear, and that punch was so powerful.

If Rhode wanted to defeat him, he would have to send more wild monsters to besiege him. Although it was only less than two days, everything seemed familiar after returning from a long trip.

Not only in the church, but also at home.

Familiar tables and chairs, familiar beds, familiar sandbags...

Seeing the sandbag, Rhodes threw another set of punches.

Exercise and meditation cannot be given up, and the same goes for exploring Summoner's Rift.

According to the previous progress, a red or blue one should appear in a few days, and the little dragon will not be far away.

……

The next morning, Rhodes went to work at the guild as usual.

After finishing a bunch of chores, I went to take a look at the bulletin board.

The highest rewards are generally for defeating giant monsters, capturing dangerous criminals, etc., and there are many missions with rewards of up to a million.

However, the difficulty of these tasks was close to S-level, and even if Rhodes dared to take them, he would be rejected by Mira.

The lower-paying ones are more mixed, and most of them are missions within Magnolia and nearby villages and towns.

Irrigating fields, collecting rare flowers and plants, catching perverts, finding lost items...

It may be as big as the livelihood of a village or town, or as small as helping young boys and girls resolve their adolescent worries.

Rhodes looked at them one by one. Either they were not his areas of expertise, or the remuneration was not enough to cover the loss of work time.

It's not just him, many people have this trouble when looking for a task that suits them.

As I was watching intently, a hand with a ring reached out and tore off a piece of work called "Catch the Pervert".

Rhodes turned his head and saw a handsome guy: "Loki?"

"Hmm? Are you... okay?" Before Loki could finish his hello, he had already retreated five meters away.

Rhode was unhappy. Being treated like a dirty thing was not a good experience at all:

"I think you should know by now that my magic is different from the magic of the stars."

"Um, ah, sorry, I'm used to it." Loki took the task list and walked towards the counter stiffly.

"Want to form a team? I have someone who is good at searching..."

Swish - Loki appeared in front of Mira as if the fast-forward button had been pressed: "Single-person mission, arrest the suspicious person who is following and harassing the client."

Mira looked at the task list and just nodded when Loki rushed out of the guild like the wind.

Rhodes: "..."

Okay, it’s not that easy to untie the knot in one’s heart, even though I don’t know what the knot is.

Rhodes decided to go to the backyard to practice magic for a while and wait and see if there would be any new commissions today.

Oh, first let Worm go to the kitchen to eat and drink.

……

In the afternoon, the guild was still noisy.

Natsu had just shown off a special flame set meal and was leaning against the table in satisfaction.

Gray is not here today, which makes me feel weird. I want to punch him in the face.

Happy also ate two grilled fishes and spread them on the table with their bulging bellies. "Natsu, it seems we don't have much money left."

"Huh?" Natsu opened his wallet and poured it out on the table. A few coins clanged down, along with two light banknotes.

All together it was less than 1 J, which was probably enough for him and Habby's food for two or three days.

"No choice, let's go to work!" Natsu stood up and pounded his left palm with his right fist, "Look for a mission that will give me a good fight!"

Habib raised his cat paw: "Love!"
