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

Chapter 38 She

Rhodes naturally refused to let Mira face danger. He pressed down Mira's arm and took her to the side of the road.

Mira seemed stunned for a moment, and then retreated to the side of the road obediently.

Rhodes stood alone in the middle of the road, raised his leg and kicked the bag thief's wrist, causing the short knife to fly into the air.

"hateful…"

Before the bag thief finished speaking, Rhodes had already pinched the opponent's wrist, and then gave him a hard push with his shoulder from one side of his body - Kana personally threw him over the shoulder!

There was a muffled sound, and the bag thief's body hit the road heavily, and the bag in his hand was thrown out.

Without raising his head, Rhodes gently stretched his right hand to the side and just caught the dropped dagger handle.

Success in being cool!

Rhodes was quite satisfied with his performance, but there was a slight problem in the following steps.

Originally, he planned to catch the dagger, squat down and stick it in the ear of the bag thief to scare him, but he ignored some small problems.

First of all, the floor of the commercial street is paved with bluestone, not the ground like that in the guild.

Secondly, this bag thief is an ordinary person, and his body is not as strong as a magician.

Rhodes' move was based on the intensity of fighting with his companions. He was thrown so hard that he coughed out a mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes and fainted. There was no need to threaten him anymore.

"Uh... was it too harsh? I didn't mean to..."

Rhodes squatted down and checked with a guilty conscience. He was still alive, but his arm might be broken.

"It doesn't matter. Robbery with a knife is a serious crime. Just leave it to the sheriff to deal with it later."

Mira picked up the bag on the ground and said, "Let's wait for the owner for a while."

Some pedestrians nearby were already looking for the sheriff, and the person who had shouted from behind also ran over.

"Isn't that Miss Mira?"

"It's the wizard of Fairy Tail!"

Someone soon recognized Mira, and also saw the guild crest that Rhode's short sleeves could not completely cover.

Someone went to check the bag thief's injuries. After telling the story, not only did no one sympathize with him, but some even looked regretful.

Being beaten up by the Wizard of Fairy Tail only caused him to faint and suffer a broken arm. This guy was very lucky.

Rhodes listened to their praises and strange comments, and looked at Mira with some suspicion: "Am I embarrassing Fairy Tail?"

"That's not the case." Mira smiled, "That was so handsome just now~"

And the reputation of the guild remains the same as before - 'They are all good people, but sometimes they do things inappropriately. ’

The owner is a plump aunt with a slightly old-fashioned perm and blush.

Mira handed the bag over: "Please check if there is anything missing."

"Thank you for your help! There is something very important in the bag... huh?" The aunt was slightly startled after seeing Mira's face clearly, and then saw Rhode's coat of arms.

"You are the one...what a coincidence. My husband is also from your guild. His name is Wakaba!"

The aunt made a gesture with her hand in front of her forehead: "It's the one with hair like this, a heavy smoker."

"So you are Mr. Wakaba's wife. My name is Mirajane, and this is Rod." Mira spoke to the aunt naturally,

"I often hear him talk about you and your daughter. Without you, his life will definitely be a mess."

"Really? Is that what he said?" The aunt was both happy and a little shy, "He still knows that's the case."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Wakaba did mention you a lot." Rhodes laughed dryly.

I mention it often, but most of the time I just complain about it.

He found that Mira was quite good at talking. The first half of the sentence 'I often heard him mention...' was true, and the second half of the sentence 'If not...' was her speculation. However, the combination caused subtle misunderstandings.

And even if the aunt asked about this when she got home, Wakaba would not be stupid enough to go out of her way to clarify it.

Then the aunt asked some more questions, such as whether Wakaba stared at the waitress lewdly or flicked cigarette ashes in the guild every day.

Mira answered them one by one with a smile, and after answering, it was as if she didn't answer.

She is always evil, and she will not talk nonsense about things that may affect the harmony of other people's families.

Rhodes silently studied the art of speaking for a while, and a police officer wearing a brown uniform hurried over with his team.

Wakaba's wife explained the situation to them and confirmed that Rhodes acted bravely.

The sheriff checked the bag thief's injuries, and after confirming that he was not dead, he asked people to carry him away, and also took away the dagger used as evidence.

As Mira said, robbery with a knife is a very serious crime in this country. Not only was Rod not held accountable, he also received thanks.

Magnolia Reputation +10.

The matter was quickly settled, and the aunt also said goodbye to Mira, an old girl with whom she was very easy to talk to.

"By the way, I give this to you, just think of it as a small thank you." The aunt stuffed two bills into Rhode's hand.

She looked at Mira and then at Rhodes, blinked and whispered: "Young man, you have to work hard."

"Huh? I..." Rhodes glanced at the ticket, "Honey's Dessert House New Store Invitation Voucher." Before he could refuse, the aunt had already walked away.

"What did she say?"

"Hmm... give us hospitality coupons." Rhodes thought for a moment and handed both of them to her, "Do you like desserts?"

"It won't open until next month." Mira took one and shook it, "Shall we try it together then?"

"Hmm...Okay." Next month will be just over a week away. Desserts, Rhodes is a little looking forward to it.

"Then, it's time to get down to business." Mira put away the hospitality coupon, took out the shopping list, and opened it to a long piece of paper.

Rhodes leaned over and took a look, then held his pendant and let He Crab carry it back later.

The prosperity of the shopping street is somewhat different from Rhodes' imagination. Compared with the high-rise buildings and busy traffic before the time travel, this place should be regarded as a form between an urban commercial street and a rural market.

There were not too many pedestrians coming and going, and the sounds of hawking were also coming and going. There are both good-sized shops and simple stalls along the street.

Considering that this is a city or town with a permanent population of only 60,000, such a shopping street should be considered very good.

Mira selects and selects high-quality fruits, vegetables and meats, and uses her pleasant voice to skillfully negotiate prices with bosses with different personalities.

Rhodes followed step by step, taking a food bag from time to time, watching Mira select ingredients for a while, and looking at the surrounding environment for a while.

Some rotten vegetable leaves were randomly discarded near the vegetable stall, and the front of the seafood shop was wet, with small puddles of stagnant water scattered around.

The wind with a fishy smell blew over, the dirty puppies ran over, and the people shopping were busy...

This scene is very much like life.

"Rhode? Let's go. We need to order some drinks next."

The pleasant voice came, and Rhodes woke up as if from a dream. In front of him was the familiar smiling face, and his heartbeat was quietly accelerating.

He always felt that this smile was far away from him before, but now it suddenly felt very close.

"What, are you tired?"

"No, let's go."

‘We’ is such a good word.

He just... suddenly had a little unrealistic idea.
