Chapter 38 She
Chapter 38 She
Naturally, Rhode refused to let Mira face danger. He pressed Mira’s arm and led her to the side of the road.
Mira seemed stunned for a moment, and then she retreated to the side of the road obediently.
Rhode stood alone in the middle of the road, raised his leg and kicked the bag snatcher’s wrist, and the dagger flew out of his hand into the air.
”Damn…”
Before the bag snatcher finished speaking, Rhode had already grabbed the other’s wrist, then turned his body to the side, and pushed his shoulder hard – Kana’s personal shoulder throw!
With a muffled bang, the bag snatcher’s body hit the road heavily, and the bag in his hand was thrown out.
Rhode didn’t even raise his head, and gently stretched his right hand to the side, just grabbing the handle of the falling dagger.
Successful in showing off!
Rhode was quite satisfied with his performance, but there was a little problem with the following steps.
He originally planned to catch the dagger, squat down and stick it next to the bag snatcher’s ear to scare him, but he overlooked some small problems.
First, the ground of the commercial street is paved with bluestone, not the ground in the guild.
Second, the bag snatcher is an ordinary person, and his body is not as strong as that of a wizard.
Rhode’s move was based on the strength of fighting with his companions. This time, the man was thrown down and coughed out blood. He rolled his eyes and fainted. There was no need to scare him anymore.
”Uh… Did I hit him too hard? I didn’t mean it…”
Rhode squatted down and checked guiltily. He was still breathing, but his arm might be broken.
”It doesn’t matter. The crime of robbery with a knife is very serious. It will be handled by the sheriff later.”
Mira picked up the bag on the ground and said, “Let’s wait for the owner.”
Some pedestrians nearby have already gone to find the sheriff, and the person who shouted from behind also ran over.
“Isn’t that Miss Mira?”
”She’s a wizard from Fairy Tail!”
Soon someone recognized Mira and saw the guild emblem that Rhode’s short sleeves couldn’t completely cover.
Someone went to check the bag snatcher’s injuries. After speaking out, not only did no one sympathize with him, but some people even looked sorry.
He was beaten by a wizard from Fairy Tail and only fainted and had a broken arm. This guy is so lucky.
Listening to their praises and strange discussions, Rhode looked at Mira with some doubt: “Did I bring shame to Fairy Tail?”
”That’s not the case.” Mira smiled, “You looked so handsome just now~”
And the reputation of the guild is still the same as always – ‘They are all good people, but sometimes they don’t know how to act.’
The owner is a plump aunt with a slightly old-fashioned perm and blush.
Mira handed over the bag: “Please check if anything is missing.”
”Thank you for your help! There is something important in the bag… huh?” The aunt was slightly stunned after seeing Mira’s face, and then saw Rhodes’ emblem,
”You are the one… What a coincidence, my husband is also a member of your guild, his name is Wakaba!”
The aunt gestured in front of her forehead: “The one with hair like this, the old smoker.”
”So you are Mr. Wakaba’s wife, my name is Mira Jane, this is Rhodes.” Mira talked to the aunt very naturally,
”I often hear him talk about you and your daughter. If it weren’t for you, his life would be a mess.”
”Really? Did he say that?” The aunt was happy and a little embarrassed, “He still knows this.”
”Yes, yes, Mr. Wakaba did mention you a lot.” Rhodes laughed dryly on the side.
He did mention you a lot, but most of the time he was just complaining.
He found that Mira was good at talking. The first half of the sentence, “I often heard him mention…” was true, and the second half, “If not…” was her speculation. However, when they were put together, it caused a subtle misunderstanding.
And even if the aunt asked about this kind of thing at home, Wakaba would not be stupid enough to clarify it.
Then the aunt asked some questions such as whether Wakaba stared at the waitresses with lustful eyes in the guild every day, or flicked cigarette ash randomly.
Mira answered with a smile one by one, and it was as if she hadn’t answered after answering.
Although she was scheming, she would not talk nonsense about things that might affect the harmony of other people’s families.
Rod silently learned the art of speaking for a while, and the sheriff in a brown uniform led the team to rush over.
WakaBa’s wife explained the situation to them and confirmed that Rod was a brave man.
The sheriff checked the bag snatcher’s injuries and confirmed that he would not die, so he asked someone to carry him away and took away the short knife as evidence.
As Mira said, knife robbery is a serious crime in this country. Not only was Rod not held accountable, but he was also thanked.
Magnolia reputation +10.
The matter was quickly handled, and the aunt also said goodbye to Mira, the old sister who was very easy to talk to.
”By the way, this is for you, just as a little thank you.” The aunt stuffed two bills into Rod’s hand.
She looked at Mira, then at Rod, blinked and whispered: “Young man, keep going.”
”Ah? I…” Rod glanced at the bill ‘Honey Dessert House New Store Invitation Ticket’, and before he could refuse, the aunt had already walked away.
“What did she say?”
”Hmm…the invitation voucher for us.” Rhode thought for a moment and handed both to her, “Do you like desserts?”
”It will open next month.” Mira took one and shook it, “Let’s go try it together then?”
”Hmm…Okay.” Next month is just over a week later, desserts, Rhode is a little looking forward to it.
”Then, it’s time to get down to business.” Mira put away the invitation voucher, took out the shopping list, and opened it to reveal a long piece of paper.
Rhode leaned over to take a look, held his pendant, and decided to let the crab carry it back later.
The prosperity of the shopping street was a little different from what Rhode had imagined. Compared with the high-rise buildings and busy traffic before crossing, this place should be considered a form between a city commercial street and a rural market.
There were quite a few pedestrians coming and going, and the sound of hawking was also one after another. There were both large-scale shops and simple stalls along the street.
Considering that this is a city or town with a permanent population of only 60,000, such a shopping street should be considered very good.
Mira picked and chose high-quality fruits, vegetables and meat, and bargained with the bosses of different personalities in a pleasant voice.
Rod followed closely, taking a food bag from time to time, watching Mira choose ingredients for a while, and looking at the surrounding environment for a while.
Some rotten leaves were thrown away casually near the vegetable stall, and the front of the seafood store was wet, with small pits of stagnant water scattered.
The wind with a fishy smell blew over, the dirty puppy ran over, and the shoppers were bustling…
This scene was very much like life.
”Rod? Let’s go, I’m going to order some wine next.”
The pleasant voice came, and Rod woke up as if from a dream. In front of him was the familiar smiling face, and his heartbeat was quietly accelerating.
I always felt that this smile was far away from him before, but now it suddenly felt very close.
“What, are you tired?”
”No, let’s go.”
The word ‘we’ is really good.
He just… suddenly had a little unrealistic idea.
