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

Chapter 51 A meal analysis is as fierce as a tiger

Mira had just registered a mission for Macao and heard the president tell him the whole story: "In other words, the president took advantage of Rhodes' financial difficulties and persuaded him to take on the mission?"

"Don't make it sound like I'm chasing him away, but that's pretty much it." Makarov said, "Help me choose the right one."

Mira looked at Rhodes: "What kind of mission does Rhodes want to try?"

"It's best to have a high degree of safety, to be able to travel not too far away, not to be delayed for too long, and the reward is still..."

At this point, Rhodes paused, "Well, isn't that too much?"

"So you know!" Makarov sighed and jumped off the counter deftly, "Forget it, you can decide for yourself."

Rod was like a graduate interviewing for a job for the first time.

In the president's eyes, ordinary work was just like that, but Rhodes felt uneasy that he didn't know the specific work content, what to do, and what to do if he didn't do it well.

"Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to the president's words." Mira didn't want to persuade Rhodes to accept the task. In her opinion, there would be no harm in practicing for a while longer.

"Everyone in the guild is free. Even if Nabu is like that, the president will not force him to go out."

"I just don't want to be like that, and I can't always live on borrowed money," Rod said.

"Please help me choose one that is within my capabilities. It should be fine if I make more preparations."

"Okay~" Mira can see Rhodes practicing every day and knows his strength very well.

However, for the first mission, it is best to familiarize yourself with the process and have a little training effect. Well... take care of the newbies a little bit.

Mira pulled out a task list: "That's it."

Rhodes looked over and saw "WANTED" written on the top of the task list, and the bottom was... blank.

"Empty?"

"Well, there is a commission for today that I haven't had time to write down yet." Mira picked up the pen, leaned on the counter and started writing stroke by stroke.

Today’s commission? You should have posted it when you and the president were out, right?

Rhode's eyes followed the movement of her pen tip, and lines of delicate handwriting appeared.

Escort mission: The client is required to **** the client to Culokas, the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, and return safely.

Remuneration: 20,000 J

Scheduled departure time: 8 a.m. on August 23

Commission time: August 22

"Going to Courokas?"

Culokas, the capital of the Kingdom of Fiore, also known as the Capital of Flowers, is the most prosperous city in the country.

Of course Rhodes understood this important common sense.

If you want to go to Courokas, you can take a horse-drawn carriage heading west from Magnolia and you can arrive there on the same day. It is even faster to take the canal waterway down the river.

The key is that regardless of land or water, the most commonly traveled routes are similar to 'official roads' and 'national roads'. Even civilians can travel back and forth without worries, and the safety factor is quite high.

In other words, taking this route requires hiring a magician as a guard, which means that the client is being targeted.

Either life or property.

This will add many uncertain risks to the trip.

Rhodes thought, he had to figure out why the client was being targeted before he could decide whether to accept it or not.

However, just after he made a reasonable analysis, the pen tip in Mira's hand moved lightly and wrote the last line:

"Client: Mirajane Strauss" Rhodes raised his head: "Huh?"

Mira looked at him and asked with a smile: "Ah what?"

"Mira, this..." Rhodes didn't know what to say.

Is this creating a task without a suitable task?

Mira said: "I am indeed going to Huadu tomorrow, and I just want to find someone to go with."

"You just need to say this, and the people in the guild who are willing to accompany you can line up from the counter to the door..."

"Ah...he's very good at complimenting people." Mira asked with a smile, "Is Rhodes one of them?"

"Of course...after all, I have always been under your care." Rhodes said, "There is no need to issue a special commission."

Mira raised a finger and shook it slightly:

"Don't worry about it. Under normal circumstances, when an inexperienced newcomer goes out to work for the first time, the guild will arrange for a senior magician to accompany him.

In order to help newcomers familiarize themselves with the work process and handle emergencies.

As for me, I can be considered a senior mage. Although I can't fight, you can ask me any questions during the mission.

So, Mr. Rhodes, the wizard of Fairy Tail, do you want to accept this commission? "

"...I accept it." Rhodes smiled. He could not live up to his good intentions, but he felt like he was being given free rein.

"Then, as the president's assistant, I agree with you to accept this commission." Mira deliberately spoke in a very formal tone.

She took out her seal, stamped it on the order form, and filled in some information in the register.

This means that the commission has been approved by the guild and officially handed over to Rhodes.

Mira handed the stamped order form to Rhodes: "Okay, now you can take this to see the client, Miss Mirajane Strauss, and confirm the details of the order."

"..." Rhodes took the order form, his eyes stayed on the red seal for a second, and then looked up at his 'client'.

Mira's eyes met his, and she immediately changed into a very girlish look and tone:

"Ah, are you the wizard of Fairy Tail who is responsible for handling my request?

I'm sorry, but to confirm your identity, could you please let me see the order form and your guild crest? "

Why do you even use honorifics? Is this so dramatic?

Rhodes nodded mechanically, handed back the commission form he had just received, and lifted up the half sleeve of his left arm to show his coat of arms.

"Sure enough, he is the wizard of Fairy Tail! I was so rude just now!" Mira folded her hands together and bowed lightly 'apologisingly'.

After hesitating for a moment, Rhodes chose to cooperate with her:

"You're welcome, Mira...Ms. Mirajane, you are going to the flower capital of Kurokas, right? Have you made specific itinerary arrangements?"

Mira said cautiously like an ordinary girl: "Yes, the original plan was to set off by boat tomorrow morning and arrive in the afternoon.

You need to spend the night in Culokas, then return by carriage the day after tomorrow and return to Magnolia in the evening.

Sir, do you have any suggestions? "

Rhodes was made to feel uncomfortable by this pitiful 'Master Mage':

"Please don't call me that. I have no objection to the itinerary. I just want to know why you hired a guard. Are you being targeted by someone?"

Mira shook her head: "No, not really. I just think it's not safe for a girl to travel far alone, so I leave my safety to you on the road!"

"Okay, I accept it." Rhodes gave the drama queen opposite him a questioning look, is that okay?

Mira returned to her usual smile and stretched out a palm: "50 points, failed."

"What?"

Mira cleared her throat: "It's time for guidance from the senior mage Mirajane."
