Chapter 438 Autumn is here(1/2)
"Mistgang..."
As soon as Rhodes came back, he saw Erza asking the president about Mystergan.
Mira was also listening quietly. After all, she had seen the face exactly like Jellal's, and it was impossible not to be curious.
Rhodes leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Does Jellal really have any biological brothers?"
"That's not the case." Makarov thought for a while and felt that there was no need to hide it from the three of them. "But in order to avoid trouble, don't tell anyone else."
He focused on Mira.
What I said this time cannot be told to other people is true. I cannot tell it seriously.
Mira pouted, she could still distinguish between things that should be gossiped about and things that should not be gossiped about.
Makarov asked: "Rhodes should have heard Polyusica talk about Edoras before, right?"
Rhodes nodded and said: "Hmm... ah, parallel world or something, my mother-in-law said that you can find people with the same name as this world over there."
Erza guessed: "So Mist Gang is..."
Makarov nodded and confirmed her guess: "Yes, he is Jellal over there. He looks almost exactly the same. It's natural that you can't tell him apart.
He only came here 7 years ago and met Wendy at that time. You probably still remember this.
Apart from his name and appearance, Mystergang has nothing to do with that Jellal. As for what kind of person he was before, he didn't want to say, and I didn't ask."
"I see, I understand." Erza nodded and left the counter.
"Erza, we...eh?"
Lucy took a task list and excitedly came to Erza to form a team, but Erza ignored her as if she hadn't seen it.
She asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Erza?"
Mira replied: "It's nothing, I'm just in a bad mood."
"That's it." Lucy's excitement was extinguished a little. She subconsciously thought it was because of Laxus' matter, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Mira asked: "Did you decide to go out to work so soon?"
"Well, I want to start earning rent as soon as possible, but it's better to wait first." Lucy said frustratedly, "Natsu and Gray are not in a good mood, and even Happy looks sad."
Of course Lucy was also affected to some extent, but like Rhodes, she had never seen Laxus a few times, so she couldn't be as sad as Natsu and Gray.
Mira nodded, and she said: "It's good to take a little rest. The festival is not over yet, so enjoy it. And the results of the Miss Fairy Tail audition are coming out soon. Maybe Lucy can get the bonus?"
"
Speaking of this, Lucy felt like crying: "It's impossible, I haven't had time to perform yet."
She felt that she might have been unlucky these past few days.
It was like there was no time to perform in the tryout; it was like her companions were involved in a fight from a long way away, it was like lining up to buy something and it happened to be sold out when she got in line...
Nothing seems to be going well these days, let alone the trials.
"That's right!" Rhodes finally remembered this, "Marcus seems to be counting the votes. I'll go take a look."
There was a ballot box in the shop in front of the guild. Marcus grabbed a handful of votes from it, read out the names one by one, and then threw them into another box.
"Erza, Mirajane, Mirajane, Erza, Lucy, Juvia..."
Lidas took a pen and a drawing board and wrote down the votes of everyone one by one.
Rhodes listened for a while, and almost everyone's name was read out, but Lebby seemed to have the fewest votes.
In comparison, Lucy's name is better, and it feels like Bisca's name appears more frequently.
He secretly glanced at Lidas' drawing board. The votes behind the names Mirajane and Erza far exceeded the others.
If nothing else, the champion should be between the two of them.
Lucy said something like not giving up hope, but after finishing a cup of tea, she came over to see the vote count.
"How about it?"
"Congratulations, you have a chance to compete with Juvia for third place."
Lucy's face was happy at first, and then she immediately fell down: "What's there to congratulate for the third place..."
"Although there is no bonus, it is everyone's recognition of you." Rhodes comforted, "And you can get third place before the show is even finished. If you work hard next year, you may be able to compete for first place."
"But I need rent now..."
"You go and complain to Abby Green. It's her fault for interrupting your performance so early."
"...Let's forget it." Lucy was still a little afraid of Abby Green, "It's better to go home and rest."
"Well, bye, remember to check if Natsu is in your bed before going to bed."
"Hmm...why should I go out of my way to check for something like this?!"
Although what Rhodes said was necessary, the more Lucy thought about it, the more she felt crazy.
How can someone normally go to a girl's bed to sleep without permission?
This makes her have to be careful when she returns home.
After watching Lucy leave, Rhodes continued to stare at Marcus and the others counting the votes. He saw that Mira won by three votes, and he left when Lidas began to draw promotional posters.
Before going out, Rhodes rubbed his face, controlled his smile, and returned to the counter with a sigh: "Mira, guess who won?"
Mira looked up at him and continued to lower her head to work on the documents: "Of course I won."
"Can you guess this?" Rhodes took out Mira's small mirror from her bag and looked at his expression, "Are my acting skills so bad?"
"My acting skills are already very good." Mira smiled, "That's why I know I won."
"What's the point?"
"You only tease me because I win. If I lose, you will definitely comfort me with a smile... Hmm, maybe you will take advantage of me."
"Why are you so smart..." Rhodes hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Besides, I just need to be thick-skinned to take advantage. There is no need to 'take advantage'."
"It's not because of cleverness." Mira whispered, pushing away Rhodes' face, "Come to work quickly, we have to go out in a few days."
"Okay." Speaking of this, Rhodes became motivated to work.
The bonus of 500,000 J was received, and they were one step closer to their wedding room, but it seemed that he had accidentally gotten into trouble again.
"Alas..." Rhode sighed, "Little rich lady, can I wash your feet tonight?"
Mira looked at him angrily and said something weird without thinking.
Never let him enter the house at night.
…
Early on the next morning, Rod went to Mira's house for dinner on time.
It was rare that the two siblings were working together in the kitchen today. Rhodes wanted to help but was kicked out.
"Read your newspaper, or go play with Worm."
"My cooking skills have improved."
"Then I don't need your help. Elfman is already big enough. Don't take up space in the kitchen."
"Oh, wait a minute." Rhodes was pushed out of the door by Mira, but he was slightly shorter and leaned towards Mira.
"Why do you need to be coaxed like a child?" Mira kissed Rhodes on the face and finally succeeded in driving him away.
Elfman was busy with what he was doing and didn't see anything.
Rhodes sat back on the sofa and read the newspaper, yesterday's.
The headline is about Fairy Tail's magical parade, and the next one is a separate photo of the three Thors.
At first glance, Rhodes thought that the civil war had also made the news.
But after looking carefully, I realized that what was written in the news was that only three of the Thunder Gods had wiped out the Dark Guild's "Soul of the Corpse Man".
It seems to be something they did before returning to Magnolia.
The three of them wiped out a guild without getting hurt, which should be said to be quite impressive.
Thinking about Abba Green's petrified eyes and Fried's magic, it is only natural that it can be achieved to this extent.
On the other hand, Rhodes had never seen the power of Bigusro's magic with his own eyes.
I heard that the five puppets controlled by his spirit magic seem to have similar functions to his blue floating cannon. They can launch medium and long-range magic attacks, and they can also fly directly to hit and hit people.
There is also a plastic eye that can control the body of the person who is looking at him, but it is not clear what the specific effect is.
It is said that Erza relied on the prosthetic eye in her right eye to survive. Others need to wear glasses or close their eyes if they want to be on guard.
(The prosthetic eyes are not affected by pupil magic, so Erza has 50% pupil resistance.)
Rhodes felt that he should buy a pair of plain glasses and wear them when traveling far away, so as not to be tricked by others and not have time to take out his sunglasses.
Also prepare a pair for Mila - Mila also looks good in glasses.
Mira stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Rhodes' eyes: "It's time to eat, what are you thinking about?"
