Rhodes handed the task list and IOU to Mira: "Although the task is completed, I have not been paid."

Mira asked curiously: "What's going on?"

Rhodes told her about the situation at his client's home.

"Since that's your judgment, then it's no problem." Mira smiled, "Just keep this IOU."

Rhodes waved his hand: "Leave it where you are. You can also store it in the guild. I'm worried about losing it if I take it home."

"Okay." Mira didn't refuse, "The mission is confirmed to be completed. Can you tell me about the mission process?"

Elfman said: "Sister, I want to go home and rest first."

"Well, I bought apples and persimmons yesterday and put them in the living room."

"I see."

Mira watched Elfman leave and asked Rhodes: "You seem very tired. Do you want to take a rest first?"

"I don't need it." Rhode hesitated, "Elfman has a special reason."

We agreed to take him out for a walk, but ended up leaving him listless and feeling like he couldn't explain it to his parents.

Mira asked with concern: "Are you injured?"

Rhodes shook his head: "No."

"That's good." Mira smiled, "No matter what happens, just tell me."

"Oh oh oh..." A very motivated Natsu rushed in from outside the guild. He slapped the task list on the counter, "Mira, I'm done!"

Hubby flew over with a new task sheet: "Love! Next is this task!"

"Okay~" Mira registered them.

Rhodes asked: "Don't you guys take a break?"

"No time to rest! Huh? Are you here, Rhodes?" Natsu seemed to have just seen him, "I won't lose to you even if I complete the mission!"

"I don't want to compete with you either..."

"Let's go, Happy!" After watching Mira registering, Natsu ran out quickly.

"like!"

Rhodes smiled and regained his energy: "By the way, Natsu won't destroy anything again, right?"

Mira thought for a while: "It shouldn't be possible, right? Even Natsu will be cautious about entrustments at this time."

So he usually is careless on purpose?!

Makarov strolled down from the second floor: "Rhodes is back, how about this time?"

"It's okay. Although we encountered a little problem, the client is very satisfied with the result."

"That's good." Makarov was also very satisfied. This kid Rhodes is really reassuring.

"By the way, President, I have brought back some unique local medicinal herbs. Can you please pass them on to Grandma Porlyusica?"

Rhodes recently decided not to pay Granny Porlyusica's medical expenses. He always felt that if he took the money, he would be beaten by her.

It's better to bring back some special herbs or seeds every time you travel far away. Just like the last time I brought back a pack of seeds from the Cat's Nest.

This way, it is not easy to be rejected, it can satisfy the elderly's hobbies, and it can also add some medicine reserves to the guild.

Plan pass.

Mira finished the work at hand and picked up her coat: "Rod, can you go out with me for a while?"

"Hmm...Okay, what about here?"

Mira looked at Makarov: "President, let's go out for a while, please leave this place."

"Yeah." Makarov jumped on the counter and sat cross-legged, holding his chin in one hand, feeling that he shouldn't come down.

Once the number of people in the guild decreased, these two people became more conspicuous when they went out together.

Wakaba said enviously: "Mira, how about you consider dating me occasionally?"

"Isn't your wife very kind to you?" Mira raised a hand with a smile.

"No, no, no, no..." Wakaba saw what she was going to do, "Please don't become like that!"

Mira stopped, she didn't really want to change now.

Rhodes thought that he would go to [Uncle] Wakaba to ask for advice on combat skills when he had time.

The combat experience of a veteran magician is very valuable, and he may be able to quickly identify the shortcomings of his own strategy of "surrounding the main body with wild monsters and sneaking up on him from behind".

The weather in Magnolia is getting colder and colder, and winter is about to begin.

The coat customized by the tailor shop takes more than a week to make, and by then it will be almost ready to wear.

When Mila went out, she only wore a short jacket over her usual dress.

Rhodes didn't know much about this way of wearing it, and wondered if she had some special magic to keep her legs warm.

Thinking about my previous experience in the snowy mountains, when the magic power is sufficient, it seems that the cold resistance itself will be stronger?

The number of businesses on both sides of the street did not decrease because of the cold weather. On the contrary, there were more vendors selling seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Winter clothes are placed in the most conspicuous position in clothing stores, and some magic shops also launch various magic props for heating or boiling hot water in winter.

The most popular ones are naturally the products recommended in Wizard Weekly.

Rhodes remembered today, Wednesday, the day when the new issue of Soshala was released. In addition, Mira seemed to have not taken photos for a while.

At the same time, I was disappointed, but even more secretly happy.

Ha, man.

"Are you going to buy something?" Before going out, Rhodes didn't even ask what he was doing today.

"Well, one of the lights in the guild is broken, and the heater last year didn't work well. I plan to change it to a new model this year, and then..."

Mira told her what she needed one by one. Many of them were trivial, but they were all remembered by her.

The serious look looks particularly good-looking.

As the assistant to the president who is in charge of almost all logistical affairs in the guild, she is actually like a big housekeeper. She can keep such a noisy guild in order, which is inseparable from her contribution.

Rhodes was a little curious about who was in charge of these things before, president?

"There are so many things to do before winter begins."

"Of course." Mira stopped, "Start from here first."

"Okay...?" Rhodes raised his head, this is not a coffee shop.

"Didn't I say I would treat you to coffee before?" Mira smiled, "Or come back next time?"

"Just this time." Rhodes thought, he came here to give her some face.

The two found a place to sit down and ordered their favorite coffee and snacks.

After chatting about the gossip in the guild, Rhodes finally brought up the matter of Elfman.

Although he promised not to tell anyone else about his crying...does Mira count as someone else?

After struggling for a while, Rhodes decided to skip that part and save some face for Elfman.

"So this is what happened." Mira thought about it carefully and thought it should be a good thing, "Thank you."

Rhodes smiled bitterly: "I'm still thinking about how to explain it to you."

"This is a very important process." Mira said seriously, "Both Elfman and I should thank you."

Mira even wondered if this person had a plan on how to help Elfman.

Rhodes shook his head slightly. What happened this time was just a coincidence.

Mira was concerned: "By the way, you said you wanted to earn living expenses, right? You didn't get paid this time, what should you do next?"

Rhodes thought for a while: "Try to accept some commissions within Magnolia. I feel like it would be good to experience it once in a while."
