Chapter 285 The water monster comes home
Rod and Mira kept their promise and stayed in the village of Lavender for an extra day.
On the one hand, it was to prevent accidents, and on the other hand, it also caught a few more mice.
I couldn't catch twenty of them all day long, and they weren't as big as the previous ones, which meant that the rat problem had indeed been resolved.
As long as the villagers do a little bit of prevention and control, they will no longer have this problem.
It was the 1st when the two of them came out of the guild, and it was already the morning of the 4th when they were about to leave.
The village chief, Jasper, paid them off when he saw them off, and many villagers temporarily put aside their work to see them off.
But when Rhodes took it, he found that the thickness was wrong: "Why so many?"
"Because the two of them saved the village, and we only learned about the existence of the Rat King and Rat Queen later, the original reward obviously did not match the difficulty, so we scraped together an additional 500,000 J. Although it is not much, but... "
"No, Mr. Village Chief." Mira directly rejected his proposal, "The remuneration has already been determined, we cannot charge extra."
"But I am the client, and I ask for a change in remuneration. This is the will of our village. Isn't this okay?"
"It was okay before we started the mission, but now it's completed." Although Mira's tone was not serious, her attitude was very tough. "In this case, additional charges will affect the reputation of our guild."
Although Fairy Tail is a rather chaotic guild, it is quite serious when it comes to tasks, rewards, and responsibilities.
Rhodes counted out 200,000 J and put the remaining banknotes back into Jasper's hand: "That's it. Thank you for your kindness. See you again when you have the opportunity."
The two waved and left the village on the river crab.
"Village chief, this..."
"There is nothing we can do. We can't embarrass them because of this kind of thing." Jasper thought for a while, "I will return the money to everyone later, and we can find other ways to repay them."
On the other side, Mira found that the river crab was taking the wrong route: "Isn't this the direction back to the guild?"
Rhodes nodded: "Yes, it's the direction to Lake Myint."
"Is it the lake where the rat plague originated?"
"Well, I want to confirm it myself, and...it's rare for us to go on a long trip together. Isn't it a pity to go back so soon?"
Mira thought for a moment and smiled: "That's right."
The original purpose of the two was to hang out together for a few days, but they seemed to have been working all the time these days.
It would also be a good idea to take this opportunity to visit nearby cities or scenic spots together.
Anyway, the guild leader and Erza are here, so nothing will happen.
…
A few days flew by.
The two came to a town famous for its clothing manufacturing, and Mira planned to help Elfman buy some summer clothes.
However, because Rhodes bought a magazine when he passed by the newsstand, after reading a few pages, he knew that the two of them had to go back.
Rhodes sighed: "Is Lidas so good at causing trouble?"
Mira asked: "Lidas, why?"
“Because there were no new models of light pens, Lidas took a few of his close painter friends and went to the manufacturer to protest.
Then because he was worried about being ignored, he used magic to draw a large group of people, which caused some confusion and traffic jams. "
Rhodes showed her the magazine. There was a picture of Lidas on it, with his head lowered, as if he was apologizing to someone.
"Ah la ah la..." Mira seemed to be smiling happily, "So what's the result? Has the manufacturer promised to release a new model?"
"..." Rhodes said, "Shouldn't we care about whether he is okay first?"
Mira pointed her index finger on her face and tilted her head slightly: "I think Lidas must be more concerned about this."
"Okay." You are cute and you have the final say, Rhodes said, "The manufacturer seems to have passed it off casually."
Mira smiled and said: "I think so. How about we call everyone in the guild to protest with Lidas next time?"
Rhodes touched her head: "Don't do this, the president will cry."
Mira didn't slap his hand away, but pointed to another photo in the magazine: "That figure from the back is Wo Lian, right?"
"Well, Wo Lian caused a little commotion during the mission. It seems that the magic was out of control."
"I went to a high place again." Mira guessed that Wo Lian had to go to a high place because something went wrong with the mission. "It feels very interesting." Rhodes sighed: "This is more interesting."
"The return of Demon Mirajane? The water monster of Lake Myint was defeated miserably!"
Because there was no picture, Mira didn't think about it for a moment: "Water monster?"
Rhodes grimaced: "That's me."
The two of them were sparring by the lake a few days ago, and someone might have seen them.
Then when a reporter interviewed the Pegasus trio, they learned that they had been to Lake Myint, so they asked questions about Mira, and the results were confirmed.
"Hahaha..." Mira kept laughing.
The last time the two appeared in the news together, Rhodes was the rumored boyfriend. This time, Rhodes was actually treated as a water monster.
Rhodes made a ferocious expression: "If you laugh again, the water monster will take you away!"
Mira directly handed her hand to him: "Please, Mr. Water Monster."
"Okay, I'll take you to the scariest place in the world right now - Fairy Tail!"
"Yeah, it's so scary... But Mr. Water Monster, can you let me finish buying clothes first?"
"OK."
Rhodes enjoyed a fashion show that was only for him, and was forced to try on more than a dozen different outfits.
After choosing a few favorite pieces of clothing, the two hurried back to Magnolia.
Although I still want to play for a few more days, the guild is quite uneasy.
…
The evening was supposed to be one of the busiest times for the guild.
But the excitement today was average.
On the one hand, it's because of the female knight standing behind the counter, and on the other hand, it's because she's been doing a lot of things recently.
Not to mention the issues that made the magazine news, there were also many other issues that were suppressed.
For example, Loki has hooked up with some troublesome girls recently, Natsu caused some damage yesterday, and Alzack and Bisca also received some complaints...
These problem children had just been taught a lesson one by one by Erza in the afternoon, and now they did not dare to jump too much.
Without these important sources of noise, the guild would naturally be less lively than usual.
However, Erza's position as Mira's temporary replacement is not without its merits.
For example, she wears armor when she is handling affairs behind the counter, and changes into a waiter's uniform when she goes out to serve people food.
—The uniform I earned while working in a dessert shop last year is a bit cramped this year, but it’s still okay.
Even to match this uniform, her hairstyle will be changed to double ponytails.
Not to mention the quality of service, it is really eye-catching, and veteran drivers like Macao and Wakaba are in for a treat.
Mira already has a boyfriend, so it's not easy to harass her, but Erza is still single...
Although they didn't dare to harass Erza, they could at least miss her a little bit.
The door of the guild was pushed open, and Erza immediately entered working mode: "Welcome!"
"Erza?" Two people wearing couple's matching clothes walked in. Looking at Erza dressed in this way, she almost didn't dare to recognize her.
"Mira, Rod?" Erza smiled, "Welcome back!"
The two laughed and said, "We are back."
Mira felt a little strange. She had been saying this to her companions when they went out for more than a year.
Now, thanks to someone, I can once again experience the feeling of hearing someone say this.
There was a brief silence in the guild, and then enthusiastic cheers broke out:
"Mira (Rhode) is back!"
