Chapter 209 Something is wrong
"Sister Mira, we have to take over this mission." Lebby handed over a commission form, and the lane engine team was about to dispatch again.
Because Jeter was injured, they haven't been out for a while.
A few days ago, Lebby took the newcomer Tono to take on some simple jobs and still had some income. Troy was really about to lose his ability.
This is especially true for Jett who has been hospitalized and has extra expenses.
Now I can't wait to make some money as soon as my leg injury heals.
"Let me take a look." Mira looked carefully. It was a task to investigate a library theft case.
"The risk is not high, but since the case was already two weeks ago, it is quite difficult. Are you sure you want to choose this?"
“Because it’s related to books, I wanted to give it a try,” Lebby said, “and the pay is pretty good.”
Jeter said confidently: "No problem, just let me perform well this time!"
Troy ruthlessly poured cold water on me: "You said the same thing last time and ended up being hospitalized."
"Can you please stop mentioning that thing!" Jet said frantically, "This time I just caught a thief, no one can outrun me!"
Troy retorted: "Idiot, have you figured out the point? Rather than arresting someone, the most important thing is to find him."
"You two, stop arguing..." Lebby looked at Mira helplessly, "Please, Sister Mira, if you don't work, you will have to worry about the rent again in a few days."
"Okay then, Rod?"
"Immediately." Rhodes scribbled a few strokes on the register, then found two documents and handed them over.
Mira lowered her head and looked at it, and handed it to Lebby together with the order form: "Here are the clues provided by the client. You can take a look at them on the way. Come on."
"Okay~" Lebby took it and was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she stared at the two people at the counter.
"What's wrong?" Mira asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Rhodes also asked: "Do we need foreign aid? But if we add one more person, the reward will be a bit low."
He just watched it, and the reward was only 100,000 J. Although it would be nice to team up with Leibi and the others to experience it, it was too little.
Rhodes felt that he might be a little too lazy. After taking on two difficult tasks, he actually began to look down on the reward of 25,000 J.
I need to reflect on whether it’s time to adjust my mentality.
"That's not the problem." Lebby waved her hands and looked at Mira with some gossip.
"I just suddenly feel that you two have such a tacit understanding... Hey, Sister Mira, did something happen without us knowing?"
When she was asked again, Mira's expression remained normal: "Nothing, maybe it's because Rhodes is more proficient in business."
Lebby looked at Rhodes again: "Is that so?"
Rhodes smiled and nodded: "Yes, nothing happened."
"It's weird..." Lebby muttered and left, obviously not fully believing it.
Rhodes took care of the things at hand and looked at the time: "It's almost time. I'm going to the backyard."
Mira nodded: "Yes."
Rhodes didn't move: "I'm going to the backyard."
"Well..." Mira looked at Rhodes, with a smile on her face as soon as her eyes met, she said angrily, "Let's go now!"
Rhodes then sneaked into the backyard.
After warming up, doing push-ups, hanging bar crunches, and hitting the sandbag for a while, Rhodes suddenly stopped and summoned Worm.
"Huh~" Worm looked at him with expectant eyes. Is the feast going to be fulfilled?
Rhodes squatted down and patted its head, and asked thoughtfully: "Do you think I have become stupid or childish?"
"Snoring?" Does this question still need to be asked? Worm thought that the owner might as well ask it if it was hungry.
"You just know how to eat." Rhodes took out a big ticket and put it on Worm's head, "Eat whatever you like."
Worm ran away with the money in his hand, fearing that his master would regret it.
Soon the banknote was in Mira's hand: "He gave it to you?" "Huh~" Worm nodded laboriously.
"Spending money indiscriminately." Mira muttered in a low voice, then touched Worm's head and said with a smile, "How about I ask Mr. Cook to cook a big meal for you?"
"Hululu~" Worm was so happy that he rolled over and fell off the counter.
Get up and continue jumping around. It has high-quality cushioning and does not feel any pain if you fall.
…
"for you."
At lunch time, Mira returned the big banknotes to Rod.
"This is the meal money I gave Worm..."
Mira said: "I treated Worm to something to eat, so I don't need so much."
In an ordinary restaurant, four to five thousand dollars is enough for two or three people to have a particularly sumptuous meal.
Rhodes's move was only 10,000, which was considered a prodigal act.
"Oh..." Rhodes held the banknote and thought for a while, "How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"
"No." Mira noticed the disappointed eyes on the other side and looked away, "In a few days."
Going today feels like deducting Worm’s meal money, so I’ll feed him more in the next few days.
"Okay." Rhodes was in a good mood. He turned to look at the two melon-eaters, "I'm telling you, why are the expressions of the people listening to us richer than those of the people we are talking to?"
Of course the ones eating the staff meal together were Lucky and Sally who was on shift today.
The two people had been whispering since morning, and by noon they were almost talking with their faces.
Lucky said: "How can you blame us? We thought that Rod would finally be rejected by Sister Mira."
"That's right."
"Besides, something hasn't been right with you since morning. You feel like you're going to turn into Alzac and Bisca."
"That's right."
Alzak and Bisca have been together a lot recently. They work as a team when going on missions, and sit at the same table for meals. They blush even more when they say a few words, and they blush even more when someone else says, "You guys have such a good relationship."
But no one was willing to confess, and the crowd was almost dying of anxiety.
Now these two seem to be trending in that direction.
Rhodes looked at Mira and retorted: "We are different from them."
Lucky was about to ask what was different when the guild door was kicked open: "We are back!"
"Back, love!"
Mira put down the dishes and said with a smile: "Welcome back Natsu, Happy, don't kick the door."
Natsu said hurriedly: "No matter what happens, Mira, help me introduce the next job!"
"Okay..." Mira was about to stand up when Rhode held her shoulders and pushed her down.
"Natsu, let Mira finish her meal first. She didn't do much in the morning..."
Happy hid behind Natsu's shoulder: "Have a leg (tongue flick)."
Rhodes ignored him and asked: "You just came back, why are you so anxious to find a new job?"
"Because I'm going to have no money to eat!" Natsu was anxious, "I have to finish a job today!"
"Love! It's all because Natsu accidentally set the mast on fire when he was helping the merchant ship break the ice. This time, all the rewards were lost."
Hubby said pitifully, "If we don't work anymore, we will go to the glacier to catch fish by ourselves."
Something happened, let’s do the next chapter in the evening
