Chapter 37 Why are you protecting me?
Chapter 37 Why are you protecting me?
Kana’s fighting skills are different from those of Natsu and others, and she focuses more on grappling and wrestling.
I don’t know if her exaggerated strength is the result of lifting barrels every day.
In addition, during the battle, Rhode noticed that Kana raised her hands twice to pierce the eye and raised her legs once to kick the crotch, but fortunately she stopped in time.
However, Rhode was still scared and broke into a cold sweat. He had to think about how to deal with such moves in the future. Boys must protect themselves when they go out.
Rhode took the opportunity to review the battle process and silently raised the danger level of Kana by one level.
Kana shook the empty barrel she had drunk: “Rod, a glass of beer!”
“Okay!” Rod went to the corner and picked up a barrel, then paused, “Kana? Did you say a glass or a barrel?”
“One glass, just one glass! Why are you so long-winded.” Kana glanced at Makao who was arguing with Wakaba about parenting experience.
Rod poured Kana a glass of wine in confusion, and then saw that Kana’s drinking speed slowed down.
It seemed that she couldn’t help but take a sip to relieve her craving.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you still want to fight?”
”You can keep fighting.” Rhode didn’t mind getting more experience, “I just think there’s something wrong with you.”
”I think so too.” Mira smelled the scent of gossip and suddenly popped up, “Could it be that Kana has a boyfriend?”
”How is that possible.” Kana denied it flatly, she raised her glass, “The wine is my boyfriend!”
”That means there is someone you like, but you don’t have the courage to confess. The boy who has been in contact with Kana more recently… let me guess…”
Mira was particularly excited about this kind of thing, and she immediately locked her target on the person next to her, “It’s Rhode!
Kana, you must have been moved by Rhode’s indomitable spirit, and then you were fascinated by Rhode’s masculinity in today’s battle!”
Kana breathed a sigh of relief, and she was relieved to see that Mira was still messing around with him as usual.
Last month, Mira said that Wakaba had a crush on Laqi… Nonsense, that guy obviously likes every pretty and gentle girl equally.
Mature guild members know that any gossip coming from Mira’s mouth should be ignored first and then questioned.
Rod was not mature enough, and he immediately denied it when she said it:
”Although I am very happy to be praised by you, Mira, my manliness today has been thrown to the ground by Kana’s shoulder.”
He looked at Kana’s crossed legs sitting sideways at the bar – and was almost kicked off by Kana’s high-heeled sandals.
“If it wasn’t Rod, who else could it be?” Mira thought, “Did Loki attack you?”
”Does he have the guts?” Kana sneered, “And I don’t like that kind of thing… Why are you talking about such a boring topic!”
Kana picked up her wine glass and strode away. She paused halfway, and her steps became smaller. Finally, she sat at the table with Maka Owa Kaba, her two drinking buddies.
Mira pinched her chin and guessed, “Hmm… could it be Macao?”
”The more you guess, the more outrageous it is, Miss Mira.” Rhodes admired her imagination, “Macao is almost 20 years older than him, right?”
”That’s hard to say.” Mira smiled and finally ended the topic, “By the way, will you accompany me to go shopping in the afternoon?”
”Okay.” Rhodes didn’t hesitate, but just asked in confusion, “Isn’t Mr. Cook in charge of purchasing? He seems to like to choose the ingredients himself.”
”Because Mr. Cook and his grandson have an appointment to go boating and fishing this afternoon, so I can only ask you.”
Mira said, “He has made a list, we just need to choose carefully.”
Mr. Cook, who is extremely serious about cooking, can relax his principles in choosing ingredients for his grandson.
It should be said that he is a pretty good grandfather.
“No problem, leave the baggage to me.” Rhode has a clear position on himself. It is definitely not his responsibility to select ingredients.
…
”Miss Mira, are you going out?” ”Yes, I have some things to buy.”
”Miss Mira, good afternoon!”
”Good afternoon.”
”Miss Mira, will you appear in the next issue of Wizard Weekly?”
”Sorry, I haven’t taken any work from the magazine recently..”
After leaving the guild and passing through the residential area, Rhode immediately realized how popular Mira was.
Almost everyone who recognized her greeted her with a smile, some would simply say hello, and some would take the opportunity to ask one or two questions.
“You are so popular.”
“Everyone is so enthusiastic.” Mira chuckled and sighed, “Sometimes I feel troubled.”
“Yes, yes, Miss Mirajane Strauss, the big star, would you consider wearing sunglasses and a mask next time you go out… to stand out from the crowd?”
As they became more and more familiar with each other, Rhode spoke to her more and more casually.
“Good idea.” Mira clapped her hands lightly, “But if I want to ‘stand out from the crowd’, I can try to become your appearance – just change my head.”
“Forgive me, I don’t want to go to Soshara under the name of ‘Fairy Tail’s Transvestite Wizard’. ”
Rod admitted defeat. He found that Mira no longer directly corrected his wording mistakes.
Mira smiled and stepped onto the stone arch bridge with Rhode and walked to the other side of the river. She pointed ahead: “The shopping street is just over the next intersection. Has Rhode been here before?”
Rod shook his head: “No, my current range of activities is basically on the other side of the river, and I buy things in the shops near the guild.”
”Huh? You have been here for almost a month, haven’t you looked around the city?” Mira asked, “What do you do after get off work?”
”Physical fitness, magic practice, meditation, reading, magazines…”
Rod thought about it and found that what he did these days was for survival and better survival.
The only thing that can be called leisure is playing music on the phonograph while washing clothes.
Even reading magazines is to understand the world and collect intelligence.
Mira asked: “Don’t you feel tired? ”
”It’s okay. Learning magic is a very interesting thing in itself.” Rhode said, “and only by practicing hard can I feel more at ease… and have the ability to pay off that huge debt.”
”Ah~, the debt problem is indeed a headache.” Mira said, “But don’t be too stressed. The president rarely lacks money.”
”The more this happens, the more I want to pay it back quickly. The president takes care of me too much.” Rhode was helpless. Many times, the pressure comes from his conscience.
This seems to be internal consumption.
Mira smiled but said nothing. The president treated Rhode and other members as his own children.
But Rhode didn’t seem to realize it or adapt to it yet.
”Get out of the way! Don’t block the way!”
The two talked and entered the shopping street. As a result, someone rushed towards them after just a few steps.
”Get out of the way! Don’t meddle in other people’s business! ”
The man held a women’s handbag in one hand and a short knife in the other, threatening others to make way.
Someone behind him was shouting ‘catch him’, ‘bag snatcher’ and the like.
Seeing the other party getting closer and closer, Mira’s beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, raised one arm, and protected Rhodes behind her.
Rhodes: ??? Sister, you said you are not good at fighting, why are you protecting me? (End of this chapter)
