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

Chapter 46 Could it be that...

Rhodes, who had been hiding in the corner with the mentality of eating melon, now felt that the melon was not tasty anymore because Leibi seemed to be in pain.

It's easy to imagine that she was probably worried that this incident would affect her friendship with Jet. After all, the three members of the Lane Engine Team grew up together.

"Hey, Rod." Lebi asked in a low voice, "Was I too harsh in my words just now?"

I don't know! Rhode didn't have a childhood sweetheart, and his childhood sweetheart had never confessed his love to him.

He could only think carefully and said, "When it comes to relationships, if you don't like someone, it's better to make it clear like you did, right?"

"That's what I said..."

It was because Leibi understood this that she refused so decisively. In the end, she didn't even touch the bouquet as she didn't want any misunderstanding to occur.

She sighed, "I'm just worried that the Driveway Engine Team will be disbanded. We've always been good friends. We should think of a more euphemistic way of saying it."

"No matter how euphemistic you try, the meaning is the same. The longer you wait, the deeper the hurt will be."

Things have already happened, no matter which is the best choice, Rhodes does not want to say things like 'You did it wrong' or 'You really didn't think it through just now'.

Then it would be of no use except to make Leibi feel more guilty.

'The best choice is the one you just made.' Only if Leibi believes this will she feel better.

Then wait until she calms down a little, and then help her with advice on what to do next if she needs it.

However, something happened that Rhodes had never expected.

Just as Leibi recovered a little, Troy appeared again with a bouquet of flowers.

Compared to Jet, Troy's movements were a little stiff, but after taking two deep breaths, he finally mustered up the courage to say the same words as Jet.

This time it only took Lebi a second to reject Troy.

Troy behaved more embarrassedly than Jett. He dropped the bouquet of flowers on the ground and left in a daze.

Rod had to take part of the blame, as he had just made Leibi determined to "decisively refuse what was best for them."

After a while, Leibi turned around and tried to control her emotions: "Let's continue practicing!"

Rhode wanted to master magic quickly, but asking Levi to teach him in this situation was a bit...

He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I've used up too much magic power today, so I'll take a rest first.

How about I buy you a drink? Just as a thank you for your help."

……

A few minutes later, Rod and Rebby sat at the counter.

The two clinked their glasses lightly. Just as Rod took a sip, Levi gulped down the whole glass, so generous as if she was possessed by Kana.

Fortunately, it was just ordinary beer.

Mira noticed the red circles under Rebby's eyes, and deliberately put her hands on her hips to look angry, and asked: "Rod, did you bully Rebby?"

"Absolutely not." Rhode raised his hand and said, "This... the situation is a bit complicated. I can't say for sure."

"It's not Rod's fault. I just don't know what to do now." Leibi's alcohol tolerance is a little low. After drinking a glass of beer, her face turned red.

She poured out all her troubles to Mira, obviously drunken as she spoke.

"Don't worry, Levi." Mira said softly, "The three of you are good friends who grew up together and are companions in the same guild.

No matter what happens, this feeling is unbreakable. It won’t be long before Jet and Troy recover.”

"Really?"

"of course."

"Then... another drink!" After finishing her second drink, Leibi fell asleep on the counter, occasionally mumbling a few words in her sleep, moving her arms and kicking her legs.

If this child can drink more in the future, he may not be a good drinker.

Leibi was wearing a shoulder-baring dress, and the emblem on her left shoulder was very conspicuous.

Although it was summer, the ceiling fan was spinning. Rod wondered if he should cover Rebby with something, but he had nothing on hand.

Instead, Mira found a thin blanket and gently draped it over Levi.

"Rod has been concerned about Levi since a while ago. Could it be that you are also..." Mira started again.

"Not really. Although Rebby is cute, she's not my type."

"So what type do you like?"

Mira's eyes were bright, and the flame of gossip seemed to be burning in them.

Rhodes really wanted to let her have a taste of what it was like to eat the melon in her own home, but a little impatience could ruin a big plan.

"Keep secrets. Secrets make a man more manly." Rhodes tampered with a line from a detective anime.

It's not a good idea to use confession as a charge, Jet and Troy had just given him an example.

"Hey~ This is something that only Loki would say." Mira said, "Have the two of you gotten along better?"

"Not at all, he would run away if I came within five meters of him.

Now he and the people around him have to ask Laqi to take orders for me."

Rhodes was also helpless. His communication with Loki was limited to the last unsuccessful sparring match. After that, even if he wanted to ease the relationship, the other party would not give him a chance.

Mira only knew that it was related to a female celestial wizard, and based on Loki's character, she guessed that it was an emotional entanglement.

It is unclear what kind of sad experience it was that made him avoid everything related to the Celestial Mage.

Rhodes' approach to this is to not solve the problem if it can't be solved.

Even brothers can be at odds with each other. It's normal to have a few people who can't play together in such a big guild.

Out of friendship, when he has something to do, we will really go and help him.

"The driveway engine is formed!" Lebi suddenly raised her fist and shouted.

Rhode helped her put the fallen blanket back on: "You must be dreaming about the past. When did the three of them start to form a team?"

"I don't know about that either." Mira thought for a moment, "I remember when I first joined the guild five years ago, they often got together."

"Five years ago...you were only twelve or thirteen, right?"

Joining the guild could be considered as starting a business on her own, and she also brought a younger brother with her... Rhode felt a little distressed after hearing that.

"13 years old is not that early. Natsu joined the guild a year before me, Erza a year before that, Gray, Cana, and Rei even earlier than that."

Mira showed a look of reminiscence, "We were all homeless children, and only after joining the guild did we feel settled.

Come to think of it, I've never asked you before, what did you do before? "

"I... am a student." Rhodes said, "I have been going to school since I was 5 years old until more than a month ago."

"You've only been in school for more than a decade?" Mira was surprised. Seeing Rhodes nod, she asked,
"Were you a noble or a prince or something important?"

Fairy Tail trivia: Jett once confessed to Levi, but was rejected in just two seconds, setting a record for the fastest rejection in the guild. He is worthy of being the fastest runner in the guild.

However, it didn't take Troy long to break Jeter's record, taking only one second.
