Mira didn't kill Rod because he said he was rich, she just chose an ordinary dessert shop.

The two sat for a while, exchanged information about Lebby and asked Rhodes to deal with Troy.

"Why don't you try teaming up with them this time?" Mira was quite looking forward to the story of Rhodes and the Lane Engine Team.

"No, it doesn't feel good to interfere too much." Rhodes said, "And Troy is quite confident."

"That's right." Mira was ready to see Troy's performance.

The two chatted for a while, and Mira ate half of her cake and pinched her waist habitually, worrying about her figure.

Rod naturally reached for her plate.

"..." Mira felt something was wrong. When did she start to develop this kind of tacit understanding with him?

She pulled the plate back before Rhodes started eating, dug out a large piece with her fork and stuffed it into her mouth, glaring at Rhodes as she ate.

Rhodes: "?"

Did I say something I shouldn't have said?

After coming out of the dessert shop, Mira returned to her usual appearance and seemed to be in a good mood.

Rhodes was a little confused. Why did she glare at me just now?

Seeing him like this, Mira felt better and said that she would treat Rod to something different next time.

Rhodes agreed in a daze, as girls' thoughts are sometimes hard to understand.

…

The two returned to the guild together, and as soon as Rhodes entered the door, he was dragged away by Gray.

"I'm finally back, Rod, I have something to ask you!"

Rhodes subconsciously said: "No, are you coming too?"

Gray wondered: "Also? Does anyone else care about this matter?"

Rhodes felt that he might have misunderstood: "Uh... wait a minute, tell me what you want to ask first."

"About the last mission you and Erza teamed up with."

"..." Rhodes was confused. This kid likes Erza? No, no, his focus is on the mission, not Erza. In the past two days, he has been affected by Troy's incident, and his thoughts have gone astray.

"What are you asking? Let me explain in advance. I'm not sure how much I can say about the mission of the Council." When you become a magician, you have to abide by certain rules.

There are some things that even a companion cannot say unless the matter itself affects the other person.

Gray looked serious: "It's about the devil."

"!" Rhodes looked at him, "Where did you hear about it?"

"On the way to work the day before yesterday, I heard someone say that the wizards of Fairy Tail defeated the devil. One was a red-haired female knight, and the other was a powerful beast tamer. I thought it was you."

"What the hell is an animal tamer?" Rhodes said with a dark face, what kind of nonsense nickname is this.

And is the Senate's confidentiality system so bad? It's even been revealed that the target they want to deal with may be a demon.

"Come with me." Rod took Gray to find Mira, repeated Gray's words, and asked her if there would be any problems.

Gray added a few details, which was considered a report on his mission.

Mira thought for a while and said: "I don't think it's necessarily because the news about the Senate was leaked.

The demons they and Gray are talking about should be people from the Black Magic Order. What those people do can be called demons, right?"

Rhodes nodded: "That's possible, so Gray misunderstood."

"Wait a minute." Gray discovered the blind spot, "What you mean by this is that besides them, there are real demons?"

Rhodes said angrily: "It's bad, I leaked the news." "It doesn't matter, the devil didn't show up, right? To be more flexible, it didn't officially happen during the mission. It's okay to tell Gray."

Mira said with a smile, "And the title of animal tamer is great."

"Don't mention it." Rhodes was helpless. The nicknames were all given by others, not his own. There was nothing he could do to change them.

He sorted out his thoughts and briefly summarized: "It is a black magic sect that wants to summon the cannibal demon Canibo from the Book of Zeref.

Then Erza and I stopped them before the summoning ceremony started, not only demolishing their altar but also arresting everyone."

"Didn't you summon it..." Gray turned and left with relief, "Thank you."

"Hey..." Rhodes didn't understand what he was saying thank you for, so he could only ask Mira.

"I don't know the specific situation. I heard that about ten years ago, Gray's hometown was destroyed by a demon."

Mira whispered, "He may have... lost a relative at that time. Gray's habit of taking off his clothes was probably developed at that time."

"..." This is another child with a sad past. Rhodes doesn't know what to do except sympathize with him.

Are strange habits related to past sad experiences?

Could there be something hidden behind Erza's habit of wearing armor? Speaking of which, she also had some special behavior during the mission.

But when Rhodes asked about it, even Mira didn't know.

"Someone asked Erza about her past, but she refused to say anything. It was as if her whole life began when she joined the guild...perhaps it was an experience that was so painful that she didn't even want to mention it.

"

Mira saw Rhode's concern for Gray and Erza and comforted:

"It doesn't matter. No matter what the past is, haven't we all persisted until now? As long as the guild is here, we can keep going."

"Hmm...haha~" Rhodes yawned and suddenly felt a little sleepy.

Mira was about to be angry that he felt sleepy listening to her talk, when she realized that her eyelids had become very heavy: "Is it Mist Gang again?"

She staggered and fell down. Rod struggled and tried to help Mira, and the two of them fell asleep together with their backs against the counter.

Naturally, other people in the guild had also fallen asleep in a pile.

The president urged him to move quickly from the second floor with drooped eyelids.

Mistagon greeted the president, and after selecting the mission, he released the magic and disappeared.

Everyone in the tavern woke up one after another, and there was inevitably a burst of complaints and curses.

Rhodes opened his eyes, felt the weight on his shoulders, and decided to close them for a while.

After a few seconds, the weight on my shoulders disappeared, and then I suddenly felt a little pain in my waist.

"Hiss~~ It hurts, it hurts..."

Mira retracted her hand, her face slightly red: "I told you to wake up and you still pretend to be asleep."

Rhodes rubbed the painful area and wondered, "How do you know I'm not really awake yet?"

"Intuition." Mira tilted her head, hum, her heartbeat was so fast and she was still pretending to be asleep, who could she have concealed.

Women’s intuition? Are you Zhan Hongling?

Rhodes thought she was talking nonsense.

But it’s not a bad day, so it’s almost time to go to training.

Rhodes looked up and saw Makarov on the second floor: "President, are you free now?"
