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

Chapter 83 Receiving
"If you just want to get started, there's no problem asking me for guidance. As for the follow-up..." Makarov thought for a moment and said, "Go ask Mira for advice."

Rhodes looked at him: "Looking for Mira?"

"Well, you already know that she used to be an S-class wizard, and she used reception magic."

"I mean, how Mira feels..."

"That's no problem. She's a strong child." Makarov said.
“Besides, it’s been almost a year since Lisanna’s incident.

Although that kind of sadness will not end easily no matter how long it takes, we cannot let her live in sadness forever.

It is also my responsibility as a companion to heal her pain with time and help her find new goals. "

Even if the president hadn't said it, Rhode would have planned to do so. He was just worried that it might irritate her if he rashly mentioned receiving magic.

And Mira's situation is very complicated, we need to find a chance to have a good chat...

Oh, there is a chance.

Rhodes asked, "President, do you know which restaurant in Magnolia is better?"

Makarov almost didn't react: "Food... the span of your three questions today is quite large."

"Hehe." Rhodes smiled. It seemed like the gap was huge, but they were actually related.

"The most expensive one is near the cathedral, and the best one is near Nankou Park. Overall, it's the best..."

Makarov smiled, "…our guild."

"Ah~" Rhode said with disdain, "I understand how you love the guild, but it's really corny to say this all of a sudden."

"..." Makarov actually blushed, "You little brat who doesn't understand sentiment."

Rhode's eyes widened. The president actually blushed!

But Rhode felt relieved after a few seconds. Just now in the guild, he had tears and snot all over him, so blushing was no big deal.

The old man is quite cute.

The process of getting the antidote was smooth.

Ms. Polyusica threw a small bottle to Rhodes and reminded him not to abuse the venom even if there was an antidote.

Rhodes asked rudely if there were any spare ones and spare ones.

Then Ms. Polyusicaa kicked him out and slammed the door.

"I forgot to ask about the cost." Rhodes found that his debt might have increased a little.

The president and Ms. Polyusica seemed to have other things to discuss, so he didn't want to disturb them.

Once I learn how to receive magic, I will come out again to make money and pay off my debts!
……

The first day of September came with a light rain, which lasted from midnight to morning.

Along with it comes a hint of autumn coolness.

The evidence of the drop in temperature was that Worm was willing to run around at Rod's feet again.

As a financial expert, Rod bought some autumn and winter clothes as soon as he noticed the temperature dropped slightly.

Rod's tip for saving money: buy clothes out of season.

"Rhode, good morning. Aren't you going to ride your strongest summoned beast today?"

With the release of "Soshara" a few days ago, Rod, the "strongest newcomer", has gained a little fame in Magnolia.

Especially when he occasionally rides his bicycle to and from get off work, he is recognized by the most people.

"Good morning, the strongest summoned beast wants to rest every Sunday, so he may not be willing to play with me."

Rhodes maintained basic courtesy, but kept spewing false information.

"Summoned beasts also have days off? That's amazing."

"Yeah yeah."

Rhodes walked towards the guild with brisk steps.

He is in a good mood today.

He had read a lot of information about reception magic in the guild library these past two days. He was almost ready to try to get started.

And I made an appointment with Mira to have lunch at a restaurant near Chengnan Park.

According to the president, the food there tastes good, is not expensive, and there are many beautiful women.

Unfortunately, almost everyone has a male companion.

The more Rhodes listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Wasn't that a dating site?
And it sounds like your old man often goes to that restaurant and is always staring at beautiful women?
It’s not right to be so old…How can a person be so old but still young at heart?
The president said sternly that he was just appreciating it.

One can't help but wonder whether those two lecherous uncles, Makao and Wakaba, learned bad things from him when they were young.

……

In the morning, he did some cleaning work as usual. When he was not on a mission, Rhodes was a part-time waiter in the pub.

He has no intention of quitting this job until he is able to handle most tasks on his own.

He had made up his mind that in the future he would become strong enough to challenge an entire guild like Erza.

When the last enemy was knocked down by him, he used his last bit of strength to ask him: "Who are you?"

Rhode replied, "I'm just a small character in the guild who is responsible for serving tea and water."

I'm really looking forward to such a scene!
The guild gradually became lively, and Natsu suddenly ran to the front desk with a task list:

"Mira, I'll take this mission! Rod, do you want to form a team?"

"No, I have something else to do today." Rhodes thought for a moment and asked,
"Why are you going out again? Did you two spend your last reward so quickly?"

"Love! There's still a lot left from last time's reward," said Habby, "but this mission is to investigate the monster that suddenly appeared in the volcano."

"A volcano monster?"

"That's right!" Natsu clenched his fist and said expectantly.

"Igunelu likes volcanoes. This 'monster' that suddenly appeared might be Igunelu!"

"So that's how it is." Rhodes remembered that Natsu seemed to have been looking for his adoptive father, the fire dragon named Igneel.

As long as he gets a bit of plausible information, he will grit his teeth and go no matter how far the distance is or how long the transportation takes.

Rhodes asked Mira: "Will this mission be dangerous?"

"Unknown monsters are a little dangerous." Mira looked through the information of this mission and smiled.
"But this mission is just an investigation, not a subjugation, and the destination is a volcano. If it's Natsu, it's no problem."

Natsu took the letter of authorization handed back by Mira and was about to leave excitedly, but he ran to the door and ran back again:

"Rod, are you really not coming?"

"No, I have to learn magic from the president today." Rhodes glanced at Mira, "Well, there is something else."

"Ah..." Natsu left dejectedly.

Mira smiled and said, "As expected of you, you're the strongest rookie. Natsu has started to trust you so quickly."

Rod said: "I think he is a Canyon Swift Crab who trusts me."

A few minutes after Natsu left, Cana also brought a task list: "Mira, I want to take this task."

"Okay." Mira took a look and asked while recording, "Kana, it seems like you haven't been out to work for a long time, right?"

Kana looked a little unnatural: "I haven't been drinking much recently, so I'm not short of money for alcohol."

Mira thought for a moment and said, “Come to think of it, the guild’s alcohol sales have dropped a lot recently.”

Kana pretended to be angry: "Are you trying to say that I alone support the turnover of the entire tavern?"

Mira laughed, "Just kidding...but Cana is the 'main force' after all."

At this time, the president's voice sounded: "Rod, come to the yard."

"Here I am!" Rhodes waved to Mira, "Mira, see you at noon!"

"it is good."

"Oh~ See you at noon? Going on a date with Rhodes again?" Kana covered her mouth and said exaggeratedly, "I'm so envious~"
