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

Chapter 57 A Little Surprise
"So, I won?"

"Tsk, I lost."

Mira was very happy, and Jenny's expression of being reluctant but having to admit defeat was so funny.

"Then it's punishment time."

"Punishment? I didn't mention such a thing before!"

Mira said as if it was a matter of course: "Since it's a match with a winner, how can there be no punishment? Okay, don't move."

“…” Jenny closed her eyes nervously as she watched Mira’s hand reach towards her face.

There was something adorable about her frightened expression, and the audience couldn't bear to look away.

Mira bent her fingers and flicked them on her forehead, bang!
A red mark appeared on Jenny’s forehead, and she covered the place where she was hit: “It hurts!”

Mira imitated Rhode's tone just now: "Okay, loser, leave!"

"Damn it, I will win it back!" Jenny left angrily. How dare he flick her forehead in public? Did he think she was a child?

Jenny swore that she would have another match in the future, and then make a more shameful bet to make Mirajane lose face even more!
"I'm sorry, I was delayed for so long because I was in a spur of the moment situation." Mira said to Rhodes.

"It doesn't matter. We're here to have fun anyway. This is quite fun."

Rod said that he watched Mira's dress-up show and it was worth it today.

(Jenny: I wasn't involved?)
Mira looked at the crowded store and suggested, "Shall we go to another store?"

Rhodes nodded: "Good suggestion."

The clothes and accessories that Mira and Jenny had just tried on suddenly became popular items and were snapped up by a group of young men and women.

The store manager and the service staff managed to maintain the situation with great difficulty, but when they wanted to find Mira and Jenny, they were nowhere to be found.

……

"How about this one?" Without the crowd around, Mira could finally choose clothes carefully.

The purpose of this trip was to buy clothes for Elfman.

"A suit? It doesn't seem to go well with Elfman."

Rod tried hard to imagine Elfman in a suit, but the next image that appeared in his mind was him doing the bodybuilder's moves and his clothes burst in a second.

"But I want to see the effect." Mira thought for a moment, "How about Rod helping me try it?"

"Me? I'm too different in size from Elfman, right?"

"It doesn't matter. I can just buy something a little bigger when the time comes." Mira said, "Please help me."

"Okay." Rhodes took the clothes and walked towards the fitting room.

"Wait a minute." Mira called him again and turned back to pick up a bunch of odds and ends.
"And the matching shirt, tie, brooch, and handkerchief. Put them on as well."

"...Okay." Rhodes walked into the fitting room with a bunch of things in his arms, and popped his head out a few seconds later.
"Mira, don't you have transformation magic? Can't you just transform into Elfman like you did just now?"

"Yes..." Mira thought for a moment, "But I used transformation magic too many times just now, and the consumption of magic power is a bit serious."

"Really?" Rhodes was suspicious. Does transformation consume so much magic power?
Mira clasped her hands together, "Yes, please."

"Oh." Rhodes pulled the curtain again.

When he came out again, he was wearing a suit and tie, and he looked straight, capable and free and easy.

Mira's eyes lit up. Rhodes looked completely different in formal attire.

There are just some details that haven't been handled well.

Rod held the tie in his hand and said embarrassedly, "I don't know how to tie this."

He did take a social etiquette elective this semester, and it seemed like there was some common sense about suits, but he hasn't learned it yet.

Mira smiled and said, "I'll help you."

She came closer, turned up the collar of his shirt, and tiptoed to put his tie around him. This almost hugging action made Rhode's heart beat fast, and the scent of Mila's hair seemed to linger on his nose.

I didn't see clearly how she tied the knot, but at the end she gently pulled the tie knot to the collar and it was tied.

Rhodes tried to hide his embarrassment by adjusting his collar.

Mira gently tugged at the suit jacket again and tucked the end of the tie inside.

This was not the end. Mira took off Rod's brooch and pinned it on the open collar of his coat. She also folded her handkerchief neatly and put it in her coat pocket, pulling it out a little.

After doing all this, Mira gently smoothed the wrinkles on Rhodes' clothes, took two steps back, and looked at him carefully with her hands behind her back.

This... this feeling of the husband going out and the wife helping him to pack his clothes is so terrible.

Rhodes asked somewhat unnaturally: "How is it?"

"Very handsome, looks much more mature all of a sudden, and this color doesn't make him look old, he looks like a social elite."

Mira made her comment, and then added, "It really doesn't suit Elfman... Is it hot to wear this?"

"... a little bit." Rhode turned his head and tugged at his collar. "Let's take a look at something else."

"Well, I'll continue to trouble you~"

Rhodes continued to be a clothes hanger. Although it was troublesome to switch back and forth, he enjoyed it.

After a busy period, Mira finally chose two sets of clothes, selected the size according to Elfman's body shape, and asked the clerk to help pack them.

Seeing that it was almost time to prepare for the evening activities, the two left and returned to the hotel.

But when he went out, Rhodes suddenly noticed that Mira was carrying three bags.

"Ah, did you find it?"

Mira turned sideways, with a little regret on her face for being discovered. She leaned forward slightly and handed one of them to Rhodes, "For you."

Reaching out to help carry the bag turned into reaching out to receive the gift in an instant. The feeling of surprise is indescribable.

Mira continued, "It's the suit just now, because it feels very suitable for you, just consider it as a thank you gift for helping me try on clothes."

"This is too valuable... Well, thank you." Rhodes chose to accept the gift.

Although the more I think about it, the more I feel like a poor boy accompanying a young lady shopping and being given a set of luxury goods, but...

Just return the favor later.

According to the president, he is already able to handle some commissions with good remuneration.

I have to take on a real mission when I get back.

Be more stable and it’s better to find a strong teammate.

Considering the relationship between them since he was punched before, I wonder if it would be okay to just hug Erza's thigh.

While they were thinking, the two had already returned to the hotel.

People were coming and going in the hall, and many people stopped to greet Mira when they saw her.

Judging from their appearance, they should be reporters and editors from the magazine, and they have come here in advance to make preparations.

The two went upstairs and returned to their room to rest for a while before heading to the banquet hall where the celebration was held.

Rod changed into the suit he had just bought at Mira's request and left his dangerous backpack in the room.

However, Rhodes felt unsafe, so he carried a thinner magic book with him.

Before leaving, Rhodes moved the table and chairs to make enough space, then summoned a river crab to stay and watch over the backpack.

Fortunately, the room is big enough, otherwise it would be difficult to release the river crabs.
