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

Chapter 58 I'm Not Interested in Becoming Famous
"Jenny, what a coincidence."

As luck would have it, the two of them ran into Jenny again when they went out.

At this time, she had changed into a gorgeous long dress and adjusted her bangs, probably to cover up the red marks on her forehead.

This time, Rhodes didn't take out the grenade because he didn't bring his bag.

"Watch the performance tonight carefully. The most popular one... humph!"

Jenny went downstairs halfway through her words, holding up her skirt. Suddenly, she remembered that Mirajane didn't care much about today's performance, so it was useless to say anything.

Rhode asked, "How hard did you hit her? She might bear the grudge for a long time."

"It only took a little bit of strength." Mira made a gesture that seemed to insult Korea, "She just felt unwilling to lose the game. It's okay."

The guests invited today are not only Mira and Jenny, but also some models who are less famous than them.

The models with outstanding looks were dressed charmingly, sexy, or cutely, each with their own characteristics, and they all seemed to be planning to show off their charm today.

In addition to the models, some actors and singers who had promoted in Soshara Weekly also entered the venue.

Rhodes had a brief understanding of the entertainment industry in this world. There were magic crystals used specifically for showing movies, and they were quite popular.

Therefore, excellent movie actors are also sought after by many people.

Rocky was even complained by an entertainment company for hitting on female artists - that's what Mira said.

The spacious banquet hall has been decorated, not to mention the lights and decorations. There are also signs such as "Celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the Founding of the Magazine" hanging in the front and back.

There is a semicircular stage in front of the hall, with a large red curtain separating the front and back of the stage.

There were more than a dozen large round tables in the hall, filled with exquisite meals and various drinks, but there were no seats. Perhaps people who wanted to participate in the celebration could walk around and communicate freely.

Mira and Rod's entrance together did not attract much attention, because she was not the only girl with a male companion.

Various small circles have already formed in the banquet hall. Only when they see someone they are interested in getting to know, or someone they admire to a certain extent, will they temporarily leave their small circle and try to say hello.

"Over there are reporters and editors, most of them are talkative. Over there are a few novelists, there might be some weirdos. And over there are celebrities, they might be a little difficult to talk to..."

Mira carefully introduced several small groups to Rod, and then went backstage to prepare for the performance.

Rhodes couldn't follow behind the scenes because he might be kicked out as a pervert.

He didn't have any interest in the celebrities like actors and singers here, and planned to find an inconspicuous spot to eat quietly until Mira's performance was over.

But it seems that someone doesn't intend to let him have peace.

"Hello, I'm Rapper Tur, a reporter for Soshara Weekly. Are you a wizard from Fairy Tail?"

A man with glasses, a side-parted hair, a camera hanging around his neck and a small notebook in his hand spoke to Rhodes.

Rhode felt it carefully and found no abnormal fluctuations in magic power, so he answered cautiously, "Yes."

"Great!" Rapper Terr was a little excited.

"To be honest, I had the honor of visiting Fairy Tail a few months ago, but I don't think I saw you then. Are you a newcomer?"

Is this a fan of our guild? Rhode nodded: "He's a newcomer, and he just joined less than two months ago."

"Great! That's what I thought!" Rapper Terr said excitedly.

"Then are you interested in being interviewed by me? If you are on Soshara, it will be very helpful for your fame!"

Fame = public knowledge.

That was too unsafe. Rhodes planned to reject him tactfully: "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in becoming famous..."

"Oh, that's terrible!" Rapper Terr ruffled his hair in annoyance.

"I've been rejected seven times today. If I can't spend the remaining 1 J in interview fees, the editor-in-chief will scold me for not working hard enough!"

Interview fee?
Does such a great magazine like yours still pay the interviewees?
This is not the point. The point is - 1 J?

Mr. Luo is short of money recently. "Well, what I mean is that I have no interest in becoming famous, but I admire you as a reporter who works so hard, so it's okay to cooperate with you reluctantly."

What's so scary about disclosing intelligence? Why not just disclose false intelligence?

1 J, I can give you a good return gift.

"That's... great, thank you very much!" Raper Tel was overjoyed.

So before the celebration began, a simple interview quietly began.

First of all, there is basic information such as name and age. There is nothing to hide about this.

Then it's all about magic.

"I use summoning magic to summon some strange animals to assist me in completing my work."

Rod summoned Worm to show up, and Raper Terr took a few photos.

"So cute! Then may I ask what your strength level is in the guild?"

“It’s hard to compare with the veteran members, but I’m definitely the strongest among the newcomers.”

There have been no other newcomers joining in recent months, so there is no doubt that Luo is the strongest newcomer.

"So cool! The strongest newcomer in the strongest guild, great news headline! The editor-in-chief will love it!"

Rapper Terr continued to ask, "The summoned beast just now looked cute, so what is your most powerful magic?"

"Then I have to mention the strongest summoned beast I subdued just last month, the Canyon Swift Crab.

In a very dangerous canyon, there is a bottomless river, where people live..."

Rhodes used exaggerated methods to describe the place where the river crab lived, saying that it was a powerful monster he obtained last month, which was far more powerful than all the summoned beasts he had previously had.

Not a single lie.

At the end of the interview, Raper Tell asked to take a look at the powerful river crab.

Rod followed him to the hotel yard to show it off.

Fortunately, river crabs are large and ugly enough. Their huge claws, long tentacles and spike-like protrusions on their shells are very intimidating.

Raper Tell took some close-up photos of the crab claws, and Rod pocketed 1 J.

"Good man."

The interviewer and the interviewee expressed the same sentiment.

……

The celebration began with a dance by fifteen beautiful women. The dynamic music and hot dance moves quickly heated up the atmosphere of the venue.

Raper Tel actually wanted to go back to sort out the manuscripts, but he couldn't miss such an important celebration, so he stayed to entertain Rhodes.

However, once the show started, he no longer cared about Rod. He took up his camera and started taking pictures while exclaiming in amazement.

Rhodes was a little worried about whether he would have enough film - by the way, do the cameras here use film or magic crystal?

Putting aside his doubts, Rhodes ate while watching - mainly eating, as he needed to replenish some energy after a day of running around.

While working hard to make a living, he also took time out to applaud along with the crowd.

After the opening dance, the president gave a speech, which was nothing more than some remarks of congratulations, encouragement, and thanks.

Rhodes ate quietly, thinking of people he didn't know and words he didn't want to hear.

Until he finished speaking, the lights on the stage changed and shone on the very center, and Mira appeared.

Rhodes put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth. He wasn't in a rush to eat.
