Fairy Tail: I Don’t Want to Be the President

Chapter 103 The beauty contest officially begins

October 7th is the official day of the Magnolia Harvest Festival.

The festive atmosphere reaches its climax on this day.

The busiest streets in the city were already crowded. In addition to local residents, many people from nearby villages and towns also arrived.

Some people even come from further afield, attracted by the reputation of the magical parade.

Vendors on the street went to great lengths to sell, and Goodman was one of the vendors selling their wares.

At regular intervals along the roadside, there were people playing musical instruments, singing poetry, and people dressed as clowns performing acrobatics.

Even the boats on the canal are decorated with various decorations, and the beaming boatmen will sing a few fishing songs from time to time.

The stalls selling snacks are even more popular, and the famous snack street is filled with aroma.

Natsu, a guy who can't even walk steadily, took Happy to have a big meal early in the morning despite the lingering effects of the thunderstorm.

Judging from how much he eats, he will probably have to go to work soon after the festival.

Because it was a rare celebration, not many people came to the guild tavern in the morning. Everyone went to places they were interested in.

At this time, Rhodes was helping to set up the venue in the guild, and Marcus was in charge.

Today's first large-scale event, the 'Miss Fairy Tail Selection', was held at the guild.

Marcus was the first one to come over in the morning, and he is still very excited to this day.

Nabu, Pidgeda and Alzhak, people he could usually chat with, were also recruited by him to work as coolies.

Alzak seemed a little reluctant. He had planned to take advantage of the festival to ask Bisca out for a walk.

But Marcus asked: ‘Invite Bisca? Can you say it? ’

Alzak was silent for a moment. He had been planning for months but could not muster the courage to invite Bisca to team up for a mission, let alone go shopping.

Then Marcus said again: 'Bisca also wants to participate in the competition. If the arrangements can't be completed in time... you really don't want to help? ’

Alzak realized that yes, the game could not be played on time, and Bisca would be disappointed.

Poor Alzak, not only did he make no progress at all, he was also held tightly by Marcus.

There is no ready-made stage in the current guild, so Lucky will use her wood shape magic to seal the counter and transform it into a temporary stage.

Tables and chairs will also be temporarily moved out, using the entire pub as the venue.

Such an area obviously cannot accommodate everyone who comes to watch the game.

Therefore, a total of three monitoring magic crystals were placed on the front and sides of the stage.

At that time, the live footage will be connected to the Cartier Cathedral in the city center.

Friends who were unable to attend can go there to watch the live broadcast.

As for the contestants this time, Rhodes, as a staff member, already knew the list and got the votes by the way.

Ballots will be issued to each spectator, and there will be someone at the cathedral responsible for distributing them.

After getting the ballot, Rhodes had written his name without hesitation.

Lucky patted him; "Hey, the game hasn't started yet, you are too partial."

Rhodes folded up the ballot as if nothing had happened and said plausibly: "What does it matter? I know all these contestants anyway, how can I not know who is more beautiful?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Some people have completely different styles on and off stage."

"It doesn't matter what style they turn into, my vision is the same."

"You're hopeless." Lucky glanced at Mira, who was smiling not far away. Damn it, it seemed like she had accidentally helped him again. "Humph." Rhodes didn't share her common knowledge.

Anyway, he is better than that kid Alzac.

Although it is a bit more difficult, at least I am working hard and the progress is gratifying.

After a busy period, the venue was finally decorated and the contestants entered the backstage one by one.

Mira was probably the calmest one among them. One second she was helping with the work, and the next second she clapped her hands gently: "The game is about to begin, I leave this to you."

"Come on." Rhode took over Mira's work and watched her walk backstage.

This turn just now was a bit cool.

Maybe it’s because confident girls always look radiant, right?

…

The audience has already entered the venue. Rhodes abused his personal power to get a good position for himself, and Artzak coyly stood in the front row.

Naturally, experienced veterans like Macao and Wakaba arrived early to occupy the front row.

Many other members also rushed back to join in the fun. Many of them were worried about the negative reaction if someone came on stage, so they helped support the show.

Natsu was holding a pile of snacks and squatting listlessly in the corner eating. His condition was still not good.

Gray was rarely dressed properly today. He stood next to Natsu with his hands in his pockets: "You guy, didn't Granny Porlyusica tell you to have a good rest? And you're not interested in this kind of competition, are you?"

Natsu was weak: "But this is a guild activity, I must participate, it's so uncomfortable..."

He felt so uncomfortable while talking, but he kept eating in his mouth.

This idiot, Gray patted his forehead: "A difficult guy."

The noisy discussion in the audience suddenly quieted down quickly, and Marcus took the stage with a microphone.

At the end of the microphone is a small magic crystal, which looks similar to the glass marbles that children played with in the 1980s and 1990s.

Marcus tried the sound test professionally, and then said:

"Dear residents of Magnolia, and everyone from nearby villages and towns, welcome to Fairy Tail!"

The audience applauded heartily.

“I heard that some people came all the way over mountains and ridges for this game. In order to get there in time, they didn’t even have time to pick up their shoes after they fell off the cliff.

After the game is over, remember to jump off the cliff and pick it up! "

Marcus put his hands to his ears as if to listen.

The audience burst into laughter, and Rhodes wanted to complain about why there was a joke segment.

The laugh point is also very strange. Which country’s warm-up style is this?

"I am the host, Marcus, the Wizard of Sand!" Marcus waved his hand, and a cloud of sand appeared out of thin air, writing his name in mid-air.

"Without further ado, I announce that the Fairy Tail Miss Selection Competition will now begin!"

The audience's enthusiasm was mobilized by his passionate voice, and they burst into applause and cheers.

"We invite contestant No. 1, the beauty of strength and wildness, the ghost princess, Honey Chikintag!"

Wearing a tiger-print dress and a pair of horns, Miji walked out from behind the scenes and onto the stage, drawing cheers.

The type of Mi Ji is obviously a favorite of many people.

Macao stared at Mi Ji's beautiful legs exposed from the hem of her skirt, and poked Wakaba: "How about it, let me just say that the best position is on the side of the stage, right?"

Wakaba couldn't turn his eyes away and couldn't help but said: "Ah, you won this time."
