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

Chapter 86 Pain is the beginning of recovery

"Protect?"

"Just like my sister used that power to protect us, it will be us who protect her from now on."

The situation at that time is vivid in my mind, but the person who said this is no longer there.

The power that the child longed for to protect her was no longer there.

Mira stretched out a hand. It was smooth and white, but not as pleasing to the eye as the 'devil's arm' back then.

Buzz~

Rhodes was surprised to see spots of light flashing across Mira's body.

That was a precursor to launching the receiving magic.

But those lights disappeared in a flash, Mira's face became a little pale, and her body fell softly to the side.

"Mira!" Rhodes released the receiving magic, gently hugged her, and asked with concern, "Why did you suddenly use the receiving magic?"

Mira forced a smile and said: "Sure enough, I still can't do it."

Looking at her like this, not only was she unable to use receiving magic, but her magic power had completely declined.

Magic is the power of the heart, you have to believe in order to...

Rhodes wanted to repeat what the president said, but when he reached his lips, the words turned into:

"Don't force yourself, let's... go sit there for a while first?"

It was still far away from the promised restaurant. Fortunately, when Rhodes just used his swift crab form, he noticed a cafe through his panoramic vision.

It's okay to take a break.

Rhodes used his receiving magic too frequently today and is now a little tired.

The large amount of magic power consumed made Mira a little unsteady, so she could only let Rhodes support her into the coffee shop.

In the eyes of others, they look similar to those intimate young lovers.

But in this situation, it was difficult for Rhodes to be happy.

"Welcome!"

"Please help me find a quieter location."

"Please come over here."

Under the guidance of the waiter, the two of them took their seats in a corner and ordered some drinks at will.

Mira was a little depressed: "Sorry for causing you sudden trouble."

"I've been troubling you too. No..." Rhodes cleared his throat and tried to imitate his broadcasting voice.

"It's my honor to serve Miss Mira, please feel free to cause me trouble.

Well, wouldn’t it be more thoughtful to say this? "

Mira forced a smile: "When did you learn this from Loki?"

Rhodes looked regretful: "Hey, I really want to learn a few tricks from him, but it's a pity that he ran away when he saw me."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Shipicki thought about instilling this kind of knowledge into you."

"When?!" Rhodes was surprised. Did we miss some treasure?

Mira thought for a while: "On the day I help you learn Common Language...

By the way, you didn’t understand what he was talking about at that time, so the president helped you refuse. "

Rhodes felt regretful and complained a bit exaggeratedly: "Why would the president do this to me?

Is it too late for me to go to Mr. Shipicki and ask for after-sales service? "

Mira finally laughed: "But the cyan Pegasus is far away."

"Little things." Rhodes said firmly.

"Maybe I'll get paid separately."

"It doesn't matter." Rhodes was unmoved.

"I'll have a headache."

"Forget it." Rhodes immediately broke through.

“It’s not fun to have a lot of knowledge forced into your head.

If I had to choose now, I would definitely choose to study with Teacher Mira for a few more months. "

Alas, why did you rush to get the language pack in the first place? You were so stupid. I despised my past self.

Mira didn't answer. She wasn't sure whether Rhodes meant what she thought.

I'm worried that I've guessed right, but also worried that I'm thinking too much.

"Your coffee."

The waiters always come promptly. Rod didn't think so, so he added sugar, sugar, and more sugar.

"Is it too much?"

"I like it sweeter, how much do you want?"

"Just one piece is fine, too much will make you fat."

Rhodes couldn't understand why Mira would have such troubles. Can't we magicians eat slimming mushrooms?

Mira slowly stirred the coffee cup with a small spoon:

"The details of your last mission have not been told to me yet."

This is half public and half private.

Yu Gong, it stands to reason that Rhodes needs to report the general process of completing the task to the guild.

Some rigid guilds may even require a report to be written. It's just that Fairy Tail doesn't have so many rules, so it doesn't matter if you don't report the process at all.

On the private side, Mira was a little curious about what Rhode meant when he said there was an accident on the way.

In this case, it depends on whether both parties have time and whether they want to talk to Mira.

Therefore, Rhodes chose to start from leaving the guild gate.

When talking about Natsu setting fire to a farmland in order to kill some wild boars, Mira smiled and said, "As expected of him."

When it comes to Rhodes sending stone beetles to follow Natsu to dig firebreaks, Mira said, "As expected of you."

But when she mentioned the Beast King, Mira's expression started to look a little unnatural.

Rhodes also hesitated whether to talk or not, but he just remembered the exchange with the president that day and decided to continue talking.

Beast King - Life and Death Crisis - Acceptance - Losing Reason - Crazy Destruction...

Mira grabbed her left arm with her right hand. Such a similar story almost made her wonder if Rhodes had made it up.

Rhodes finished the part about Natsu beating Chita awake.

"Really? He...he woke up, so good." Mira was happy for the Qita family from the bottom of her heart.

But every time he recalled that scene, and Lisanna's back in front of him, sadness and regret would well up.

Mira also raised her left hand to hug herself, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Rhodes didn't bring his coat this time. He chose to go around the table and sit next to Mira.

The hands were lifted up slightly and then immediately fell down. It was as if they were lifted up and down again with a huge weight.

After all, Rhodes was not Loki or Shipicki, so he couldn't hug him lightly.

He patted Mira's back gently: "Can you tell me about Lisanna?"

Mira whispered: "Do you already know?"

"I've heard a little bit. She's a cute girl, isn't she? A little weak?"

"No! That child is not weak at all! Lisanna..."

Mira realized something was wrong and shut up in time.

It was just the suddenly raised voice that attracted scattered glances. Rhodes stood up and raised a hand to apologize to them.

"Sorry, I'm not here..."

"I know, is it because I misunderstood Lisanna?" Rhodes said,

"It's me who should apologize. What kind of person is that child?"

Mira's trembling slowly stopped, and her thoughts drifted from that painful night to the farther past:

"Lisanna is a strong child. Ever since she was a child, when she was regarded as a devil by the people in the village, she has always argued for me..."

Listening to Mira's soft narration, Rhodes felt a little relieved.

The pain of losing a loved one can sometimes leave you feeling like your entire being is shattered.

This will not disappear completely for a long, long time, or even for the rest of our lives.

All we can do is try to accept it, work hard to overcome negative emotions, and then rebuild ourselves bit by bit.

Injury is a process of recovery.

When she is willing to talk to others about the deceased, that is the best start to recovery.

Rhodes didn't know whether it was Chita's story that resonated with Mira, or whether it was the past year that had given Mira some relief.

Or maybe his 'misunderstanding' of Lisanna briefly inspired Mira to defend her sister.

In short, the Mira spiritual healing plan that he had been struggling with for a long time finally got started.
