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

Chapter 57 A Little Surprise

"So, I won?"

"Hey, I lost."

Mira was very happy, and Jenny's expression of being reluctant but having to admit defeat was so funny.

"Then it's punishment time."

"Punishment...punishment? I've never said anything like this before!"

Mira said matter-of-factly: "Since it's a game that determines the winner, how can there be no punishment? Okay, don't move."

“…” Jenny watched Mira’s hand reaching towards her face, and closed her eyes nervously.

Her scared expression was a bit cute, and the audience couldn't bear to look away.

Mira curled her fingers and flicked her forehead, boom!

A red mark appeared on Jenny's forehead, and she covered the place where she was shot: "It hurts!"

Mira imitated Rod's tone just now: "Okay, the loser exits!"

"Damn it, I will win it back!" Jenny angrily left, how dare you flick her forehead in front of everyone, do you think she is a child?

Jenny vowed to compete again in the future, and then made an even more shameful bet to make Mirajane suffer even greater humiliation!

"Sorry, it took me so long because of my whim." Mira said to Rhodes.

"It doesn't matter, I'm here to play anyway, so it's quite fun."

Rhodes said that he had watched Mira’s dress-up show and it was not a loss today.

(Jenny: I didn’t participate, did I?)

Mira looked at the crowded store and suggested: "Shall we change to another store?"

Rhodes nodded: "Good suggestion."

The clothes and accessories that Mira and Jenny just tried on suddenly became hot commodities and were snapped up by a large number of young men and women.

The store manager and service staff managed to maintain a good atmosphere, and when they tried to find Mira and Jenny, there was no one there.

…

"How about this one?" Without the rest of the crowd, Mira could finally choose clothes carefully.

The purpose of this trip was to help Elfman buy clothes.

"A suit? It doesn't seem to match Elfman."

Rod tried hard to imagine Elfman wearing a suit, but the next image that came to his mind was him doing bodybuilder moves, bursting out of his clothes in one second.

"But I want to see the effect." Mira thought for a while, "How about Rhodes helping me try it?"

"Me? Isn't my figure too different from Elfman's?"

"It doesn't matter, just buy a bigger one when the time comes." Mira said, "Help me."

"Okay." Rhodes took the clothes and walked to the fitting room.

"Wait a minute." Mira stopped him again and went back to select a pile of bits and pieces.

"There are also matching shirts, ties, brooches, and handkerchiefs. Let's put them on together too."

"...Okay." Rhodes walked into the fitting room carrying a bunch of things, and poked his head out after a few seconds.

"Mira, don't you have transformation magic? Can't you just change into Elfman's appearance like you just did?"

"Yes..." Mira thought for a while, "But I just used transformation magic too many times, and the magic power consumption was a little serious."

"Really?" Rhodes wondered, does transformation consume so much magic power?

Mira clasped her hands together: "Yes, please."

"Oh." Rhodes closed the curtain again.

When he came out again, he had changed into a suit and leather shoes, and he looked upright, capable and free and easy.

Mira's eyes lit up. Rhodes looked completely different from usual after putting on formal clothes.

There are just some details that were not handled well.

Rhodes held the tie in his hand and said with some embarrassment, "I don't know how to tie this."

He did take an elective course on social etiquette this semester. He seems to have some knowledge about suits, but he hasn't learned it yet.

Mira smiled: "Let me help you."

She came closer, turned up the collar of Rod's shirt, and gently tiptoed to put the tie around him. This movement that resembled a hug made Rhodes' heart flutter, and the fragrance of Mira's hair seemed to be lingering on the tip of his nose.

I didn't see clearly how she tied the knot, but with a final tug, she pushed the knot to the collar and it was tied.

Rhodes tried to hide his embarrassment by adjusting his collar.

Mira gently pulled on the suit jacket again and tucked the end of the tie inside.

It wasn't over yet. Mira took off the brooch that Rhode had scattered around and pinned it to the opened collar of his coat. She folded the handkerchief neatly and put it into her coat pocket, then pulled it out a little.

After doing all this, Mira gently smoothed the wrinkles on Rhodes' clothes, took two steps back, and looked at him carefully with her hands behind her back.

This... this sense of déjà vu when the husband is going out and his wife is helping to sort out the clothes is terrible.

Rhodes asked a little unnaturally: "How is it?"

"He's very handsome. He's become a lot more mature all of a sudden. And the color doesn't make him look old. He looks like a social elite at first glance."

Mira said her own evaluation, and then added, "It really doesn't suit Elfman... Is it hot in this outfit?"

"...It's a bit." Rhodes tilted his head and tugged on his collar, "Let's look at something else."

"Well, I'm going to continue to trouble you~"

Rhodes continued to work as a clothes hanger. Although it was troublesome to change clothes, he enjoyed it.

After being busy for a while, Mira finally selected two sets of clothes, selected sizes according to Elfman's body shape, and asked the store clerk to help pack them.

Looking at the time, it was almost time to prepare for the evening activities, so the two left here and returned to the hotel.

But when he went out, Rhodes suddenly noticed that Mira was carrying three bags.

"Ah, did you find it?"

Mira turned sideways, with a bit of regret on her face as she was discovered by surprise. She leaned forward slightly and handed one of them to Rhodes, "It's for you."

Reaching out to help carry the bag turned into reaching out to receive the gift in an instant. This feeling of surprise is indescribable.

Mira continued: "It's the suit just now. Because I think it suits you very well, just think of it as a thank you gift for helping me try on the clothes."

"This is too expensive... Well, thank you." Rhodes chose to accept the gift.

Although the more I think about it, the more I feel like a poor boy goes shopping with a young lady and is given a set of luxury goods, but...

Just return the favor later.

According to the president, he is already capable of handling some well-paid commissions.

I have to take on a real mission when I go back.

Be more stable and find a strong teammate.

Considering that she had been punched before, I didn't know if Erza's thigh would be able to be hugged.

While thinking, the two of them had returned to the hotel.

People were coming and going in the hall, and many people stopped to say hello to Mira when they saw her.

Judging from their appearance, they should be reporters and editors from the magazine, who have come here to prepare in advance.

The two went upstairs, went back to their room to rest for a while, and prepared to go to the banquet hall where the celebration was held.

Rod changed into the suit he just bought at Mira's request and left his dangerous backpack in the room.

However, Rhodes felt unsafe, so he still carried a thinner magic book.

Before leaving, Rhodes moved the table and chairs to make enough space, and then summoned a river crab to stay and look at the backpack.

Fortunately, the room is big enough, otherwise it would be difficult to let the river crab out.
