Chapter 52: A Little Bit of Preparation
Chapter 52: A Little Bit of Preparation
”First, the attitude was too stiff at the beginning, which would leave a bad impression on the client, and even scare the other party, affecting the reputation of the guild.”
”Um… sorry?” Rhode was not into the role at the beginning, and he was definitely stiff.
”Second, he easily showed the client the commission without confirming the client’s identity. At least he should have asked the other party’s name.”
This is true. Rhode didn’t think of such a thing, and directly assumed that she was the client… She was the client!
First complain, then reflect.
Rhode realized that Mira was telling him the standard process of connecting with the client, not just for fun (?).
“And thirdly, there is the possibility of writing errors and temporary changes in remuneration, which is a matter that is easy to cause disputes, so it must be confirmed in person.”
”Okay, I remember it.” Rhode nodded, thought for a while and added, “Thank you Miss Mirajane for your guidance! (Good reading)”
Mira took the opportunity to put on airs: “Well, your attitude is good, plus ten points, you barely passed!”
Just as Rhode was about to say something, Laqi’s voice suddenly came from the side. She deliberately pinched her throat and imitated Rhode’s tone: “Thank you Miss Mirajane for your guidance~~~~”
”Hahaha…” Laqi and Sally, a part-time waitress, laughed together.
”Hey…” Rhode felt his ears burning, and felt embarrassed to be imitated by others.
Mira looked calm: “Laki, Sally, I’ll trouble you guys at the tavern tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”
Sally said: “Don’t worry, I’ll catch Izzy tomorrow!”
Laki said: “That’s right, sister Mira, just go on a date without worry!”
Mira corrected: “It’s work.”
”Yes, yes~” Laqi and Sally laughed and left with the wine the guests asked for.
This kind of teasing was not painful, and Rhode didn’t even blush: “By the way, I haven’t asked you what you are going to Huadu for?”
”The weekly Sosala is going to hold a 15th anniversary celebration in Huadu.” Mira said, ”I received their invitation to attend tomorrow’s party, and I will probably have to perform a show, such as singing a song.”
Oh~ I see, big companies invite celebrities to perform shows to warm up the annual meeting and anniversary celebration, increase cohesion and influence, right?
“Then I’ll make some preparations.” Rhodes said, “Ferry…”
”I’ve already booked the boat, and the carriage can be rented in Huadu.” Mira said, “Rhodes just needs to prepare for the trip.”
It was indeed a trip packaged as a mission, or a tutorial for beginners.
”You make me look stupid as a guard.”
Mira said, “The escort mission is like this. As long as nothing happens, it’s completely fine. Just relax.”
”…Fortunately, my common language has improved, otherwise I wouldn’t understand what you’re saying at all.”
No, the possibility of an accident cannot be ruled out.
Rhodes decided to be more vigilant tomorrow.
He still had to prepare something.
The next day, Rhodes and Mira met at the guild and set off on time.
Mira wore a women’s white long-sleeved shirt today, decorated with a narrow tie of the same color, which was simple, beautiful and sun-proof.
She wore a yellow A-line skirt, which covered the hem of her shirt and perfectly highlighted her slender waist. A small shoulder bag of the same color as the skirt hung at her waist.
The light pink high-heeled thong sandals made her feet and exposed ankles look even whiter and tenderer.
After leaving the guild, Rhode naturally took Mira’s suitcase, leaving her hands free to put on the beige sun hat in her hand.
Mira arranged her hair under the hat and asked casually, “How is it? Do you feel nervous for your first long trip?”
Rhode replied, “I am accompanied by the senior wizard Miss Mirajane Strauss, so I am not nervous at all.”
Mira laughed, “Then the client Miss Mirajane Strauss is relieved.”
The two of them played yesterday’s “internal joke” like a tongue twister, talking and laughing. Mira noticed that Rhodes would lift his backpack up after walking a distance, and asked: “By the way, what’s in that big backpack? It feels heavier than my suitcase.”
Rhodes said: “Some necessities for a long journey. I’ll show you when we get on the ship. There are also things prepared for you.”
“Really? Then I wantI’m really looking forward to it.”
…
You don’t need to find a ferry in Magnolia. The ferry Mira ordered is waiting by a small bridge on the canal.
It was a small boat with a canopy, and there were about four or five people in the canopy.
The boatman was a middle-aged man who looked quite kind. He wore a straw hat and his face was full of traces of wind and sun.
Rod handed Mira’s suitcase over first, jumped on the boat with a big bag on his back, and then turned back to hold Mira’s forearm.
Mira’s hand also went down to grab Rod’s forearm, and used the force to stand firmly on the boat.
”I’ll leave it to you next.” Mira said to the boatman, and then she and Rod bent down and got into the canopy and sat opposite each other.
”Then please sit down, let’s go! ”
The boatman shouted, untied the rope, and pushed the boat with a paddle on the shore. The boat left the shore and went downstream.
Under the boat, which the boatman could not see, a river crab swam forward quickly, and it was five or six hundred meters beyond the boat.
This was the crab that Rhodes released to explore the way. He put the crab in the canal before going to the guild to meet Mira.
Before setting off, Rhodes observed the boatman for a while through the perspective of the river crab, and did not find any problems.
Now Rhodes will continue to let the river crab explore whether there is anything ahead. There are bandits and monsters lurking.
Be careful when you go out.
After observing the bottom and the surface of the water from the perspective of a river crab, Rhode retracted his attention.
Mira sat sideways with her legs together in a very ladylike posture, and her sun hat had been taken off and put aside.
She was now curiously looking at the big backpack that Rhode had taken off, wondering if he had been infected by Erza’s habit of carrying a lot of luggage.
”Come, take a look at what I prepared.” Rhode opened the backpack and saw one crystal ball after another.
The curiosity in Mira’s eyes turned into shock in an instant: “This, this is… Exploding Magic Crystal?”
Exploding Magic Crystal, a disposable magic prop.
As the name suggests, it is a thing that explodes, and its use is roughly equivalent to a grenade, but its power is far beyond that of an ordinary grenade.
”Yes, I borrowed it from the guild warehouse on purpose.”
”Why do you want to borrow this kind of thing? ”
”Because I’m not good at offensive magic, I may not be able to summon wild monsters in time, so I bring these just in case.”
Rod took out two magic crystals and stuffed them into Mira’s arms, “You also take two for self-defense, just smash them hard if something happens.”
”You probably won’t need these…” Mira tried to keep smiling, so what he meant by preparation was this.
However, Rod had another surprise. He opened a few crystal balls and took out a book from the bottom:
”There is also a magic book. As long as you open it and inject a little magic power, you can activate the magic in the pages. We each carry one with us.”
”Even the magic book…”
Rod was still rummaging through his bag: “And…”
The boatman who was controlling the direction of the ferry at the stern was trembling.
