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

Chapter 37 Why are you protecting me?

Kana's fighting skills are different from those of Natsu and others, focusing more on grappling and wrestling skills.

I don't know if her exaggerated strength was gained by practicing lifting wine barrels every day.

In addition, during the battle, Rhodes noticed that Kana raised her hand twice to insert her eyes, and once raised her leg to kick her crotch. Fortunately, she stopped in time.

However, Rhodes was still scared into a cold sweat. He would have to think carefully about how to deal with this kind of move in the future. Boys must protect themselves when going out.

Rhodes took advantage of his free time to review the battle and silently increased Kana's danger level.

Kana shook the empty wine barrel she had finished drinking: "Rod, a glass of beer!"

"Okay!" Rhodes went to the corner and picked up a wine barrel, then paused, "Kana? Did you just say a cup or a barrel?"

"One cup, just one cup! Why are you so long-winded?" Kana glanced at Macao, who was arguing with Wakaba about their parenting experience.

Rhodes poured Kana a glass of wine with confusion, and then saw that Kana's drinking speed had slowed down.

It was as if I couldn't bear it anymore so I took a sip to relieve my addiction.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Still want to fight?"

"You can continue to fight." Rhodes didn't mind getting more experience, "I just think there's something wrong with you."

"I think so too." Mira smelled the gossip and suddenly came out, "Could it be that Kana has a boyfriend?"

"How is that possible?" Kana denied it. She raised her glass and said, "Wine is my boyfriend!"

"That means you have someone you like, but you don't have the courage to confess. The boys who have been in contact with Kana more recently...let me guess..."

Mira was particularly enthusiastic about this kind of thing, and she immediately targeted the person next to her, "It's Rhodes!

Kana, you must have been touched by Rhodes' indomitable spirit, and then you were fascinated by Rhodes' manliness in today's battle! "

Kana breathed a sigh of relief, and was relieved to see that Mira was still acting like a fool as usual.

Last month Mira also said that Wakaba has a crush on Lucky... That's nonsense, that guy obviously likes every beautiful and gentle girl equally.

Mature guild members all know that any gossip coming from Mira's mouth should be ignored first and then questioned.

Rhodes was not mature enough and immediately denied what she said:

"Although I am very happy to be praised so much by you Mira, my manhood today has been thrown to the ground by Kana's shoulder."

He looked at Kana sitting sideways in front of the bar with her legs crossed - she was almost completely kicked away by Kana's high-heeled sandals.

"If it wasn't Rhodes, who else could it be?" Mira thought, "Did Loki take action against you?"

"Does he have the guts?" Kana sneered, "And that's not the kind I like...why would I talk about such a boring topic!"

Kana picked up her wine glass and strode away, pausing midway, then her steps became smaller again, and finally sat down at the table with two drinking buddies, Macao Wakaba.

Mira pinched her chin and guessed: "Hmm...could it be Macao?"

"The more you guess, the more outrageous it becomes, Miss Mi-La." Rhodes admired her imagination, "Makao is almost twenty years older than him, right?"

"That's possible." Mira smiled and finally ended the topic, "By the way, would you like to go shopping with me this afternoon?"

"Okay." Rhodes didn't hesitate, but asked doubtfully, "Isn't Mr. Cook responsible for the purchasing? He seems to like to select the ingredients himself."

"Because Mr. Cook and his grandson have an appointment to go boating and fishing this afternoon, so you can only ask me."

Mira said, "He has already made a list, we just need to choose carefully."

Mr. Cook, who is extremely serious about cooking, can relax his principles in selecting ingredients for the sake of his grandson.

It should be said that he is a very good grandfather.

"No problem, leave the bag-carrying to me." Rhodes is very clear about his positioning, and such a difficult matter as selecting ingredients is definitely not his responsibility.

…

"Miss Mira, do you want to go out?" "Well, I have some things to buy."

"Miss Mira, good afternoon!"

"good afternoon."

"Miss Mira, will you be included in the next issue of Magic Weekly?"

"Sorry, I haven't taken any magazine jobs recently."

After leaving the guild and walking through the residential area, Rhodes immediately understood how popular Mira was.

Almost everyone who recognized her greeted her with a smile, some would simply say hello, and some would take the opportunity to ask a question or two.

"You are so popular."

"Everyone is so enthusiastic." Mira sighed with a chuckle, "Occasionally, I feel troubled."

"Yes, yes, Miss Mirajane Strauss, the big star, would you consider putting on sunglasses and a mask next time you go out to...stand out from the crowd?"

As he became more and more familiar with her, Rhode became more and more casual in talking to her.

"Good idea." Mira clapped her hands gently, "But if I want to stand out from the crowd, I can try to look like you - only with a different head."

"Spare me, I don't want to board Sosara under the name of 'Fairy Tail's cross-dressing mage'."

Rhodes admitted defeat and found that Mira no longer directly corrected his wording mistakes.

Mira smiled, stepped onto the stone arch bridge side by side with Rhodes, and walked to the other side of the river. She pointed forward:

"The next intersection is Shopping Street. Have Rhodes been here before?"

Rhodes shook his head: "Not yet. My current activities are basically on the other side of the river, and I always buy things in shops near the guild."

"Huh? You've been here for almost a month, haven't you looked around the city?" Mira asked, "Then what do you do after get off work?"

"Practice physical fitness, practice magic, meditate, read books, read magazines..."

Rhodes thought about it and realized that everything he had done these days was for survival and a better survival.

What can be called leisure is playing music on the gramophone while doing laundry.

Even reading magazines is to understand the world and gather intelligence.

Mira asked: "Don't you find it very hard?"

"It's okay, learning magic is quite interesting in itself." Rhodes said,

"And only by practicing hard can I feel more at ease... and be able to pay off that large debt."

"Ah~, the debt problem is indeed a headache." Mira said, "But there is no need to put too much pressure on it, the president is rarely short of money."

"The more this happens, the more I want to pay it back as soon as possible. The president takes care of me too much." Rhodes was helpless. Many times, the pressure came from his own conscience.

This seems to be considered internal friction.

Mira smiled but said nothing. The president regarded Rhodes as his own child just like other members.

But Rhodes doesn't seem to realize it yet, or hasn't adapted to it yet.

"Get out of the way! Don't block the road!"

The two of them entered the shopping street while talking, but as soon as they took a few steps, someone rushed towards them.

"Get out of the way! Don't meddle in other people's business!"

The man was holding a woman's handbag in one hand and a short knife in the other, threatening others to give way.

Someone behind me was shouting things like ‘catch him’ and ‘bag robber’.

Seeing the other party getting closer and closer, Mira frowned slightly and raised an arm to protect Rhodes behind her.

Rhodes:? ? ?

Sisters, you said you're not good at fighting, right? Why are you protecting me?
