Chapter 99 How about I take you home?
”What reason can I use to stop you from moving forward?”
Mira put down the towel, pulled Rod to sit up, and then dipped the prepared potion to help him apply it.
Rod smiled: “I feel this scene is very familiar.”
”Yes, there is a person who is covered with wounds and needs help to change the medicine when he can’t communicate. Now he is not injured and can communicate, but he still needs help to apply the medicine.”
Rod said: “…Who is this person? He only causes trouble to others. It’s so annoying.”
Pa! A slap fell on his back.
”Hiss~~” Rod took a breath of cold air, regardless of whether it hurts or not, just treat it as if it hurts.
Mira suddenly said, “I will come to practice with you tomorrow.”
“Ah?” It was a good thing to have someone to accompany you, “Why suddenly…”
“I will help you find the most suitable solution as soon as possible, so that you don’t have to do this. And…”
Mira’s eyebrows drooped, and she didn’t want to continue to be depressed.
Mira was not sure whether doing some simple training would be useful. It was not so easy to restore magic power and use receiving magic.
But if she could persist and work hard like Rod and be positive like Natsu, at least Elfman could be relieved.
If this could inspire Elfman to get out of the shadow brought by that incident, this is also what a sister should do, right? Now I can only do this.
…
“It’s so late, didn’t Elfman wait for you?”
“Well, I told him to go back early.”
“Then… I’ll take you there.” Rhodes said logically, “There are a lot of tourists in the city recently, and it’s not safe for a girl to walk alone at night.”
“Okay.” Mira smiled, “But we are going in different directions, you have to take a long detour to get home.”
“It’s okay, after I take you there, my restored magic power will be enough to summon the Swift Crab.”
In fact, the magic power now… that’s definitely not enough.
“Then thank you.” Mira held the small bag in both hands and naturally hung it in front of her body, smiling slightly, adding a touch of moving brilliance to the night scene.
When the two left the guild, it was already past nine o’clock in the evening.
There were no street lights on the street, and they could only rely on the lights from the windows of the houses on the roadside to provide a little light.
There were also small colored lights flashing for the celebration, which were a bit dazzling if you stared at them.
Today the weather was very good, with a crescent moon and a sky full of stars.
Unlike modern big cities, the starry sky here would not be disturbed by lights.
The two walked slowly on the road, the streets were quiet and deserted, and occasionally a few insects could be heard.
Rod asked, “Are you renting a house here too?”
Mira said, “No, I bought it a few years ago.”
”Bought it?” Rod almost forgot that the woman next to him might be a wealthy woman.
”Well, about three years ago, we decided to settle down here. I think if we had a house of our own, Elfman and Lisanna would feel more at ease.”
She could already talk to Rod about Lisanna quite naturally.
Three years ago, she was only 15 years old, which was the age when she could start drinking according to the laws of this country.
Rod thought about his own 15 years old…no comparison.
It’s not just him who can’t compare. Many girls in the guild choose to live in dormitories, partly because it’s convenient, and partly because they can’t save money.
Like Erza, if she wants, she can definitely buy a house in a short time.
But she would rather spend 500,000 J every month to rent five dormitories to store her armor and various clothes.
Then invest the remaining money in new armor, new clothes, and various desserts.
Kana also has this ability, but she has a house left to her by her deceased mother and unknown father, so she doesn’t need to work too hard.
Girls like Mira who save money with their brothers and sisters to settle down here must be good at managing the household in addition to their strong ability to make money.
Rod asked, “It’s not easy, right?” ”Yes, at that time, in order to save enough money quickly, the three of us suffered a lot.”
If a person thinks it’s worth it and can laugh when talking about the hard work in the past, does it mean that she is still happy now? Mira narrated this with a smile:
“During that time, I worked very hard.Work, work hard… and when I came to my senses, I was selected as an S-rank candidate. ”
”…” Good man, can S-rank be obtained by working hard?
”I thought you were trying hard to compete with Erza, fighting every day, from the guild to the exam venue.
After defeating an innocent Cana in the middle, you continued to fight Erza, and after defeating her, you passed the exam.”
”It’s not that exaggerated.” Mira laughed, “But it’s almost the same. At that time, I heard that Erza was going to be an examiner, and I felt very angry all of a sudden.
Thinking about it now, I was in a hurry to fight Erza, and I felt that my attitude towards Cana during the exam was too much.”
”Kana is so pitiful.”
”Speaking of which, Cana was very cute when she was a child, and so was Erza. Have you seen their childhood photos?”
”No!” Rhode didn’t just want to see what they looked like when they were young, “Is there an album in the guild? “Of course, and there is also Lisas’s collection of paintings. Let me think…” Mira thought for a while, “It should be placed in a corner of the library.” “I’ll look for it tomorrow!” “Are you so interested?” “Of course, I’m not only curious about them, I’m also curious about what the ‘demon’ looks like.” “Oh.” Mira stroked her cheek with one hand, “I feel a little shy. I looked a little different at that time.” “Then I’m looking forward to it even more.” Rhodes said, “Could it be that he was dark, fat and pockmarked when he was a child, and he became so beautiful when he grew up? ”
“…” Mira raised her handbag and pretended to hit him. Was this a compliment? Mira’s house was an ordinary two-story building, and its style was not much different from the ordinary houses near the guild.
When Rod sent her downstairs, the lights in the house were still on. That was Elfman waiting for her to come back.
The lighted windows really felt different from the dark house when he went back.
“Would you like to come in and sit down?”
“It’s late, maybe next time.”
Rod felt that if he went in now, he might have to fight with Elfman, so there was no need.
He summoned a river crab and sat on it, waving to Mira: “See you tomorrow.”
Mira stood at the door and responded: “See you tomorrow.”
…
”Home. ”
Rod was a little envious. The guild family was a kind of happiness, and his own small family was another kind of warmth.
With the cool night breeze blowing on the crab’s back, Rod waved his hand to summon Worm.
Worm, which had grown to the size of a basketball, was already a qualified pillow. Rod hugged it, warm and soft.
”Huh!” Worm struggled to get out of the clutches of the devil. This person suddenly sent it back before, and now suddenly summoned it.
It was still angry!
”I just sent you back to speed up the recovery of magic power.”
Definitely not disliking the light bulb.
The little horn on Worm’s head drooped down, unbelieving, unhappy.
Rod whispered the devil: “Fried eggs, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, egg custard, egg drop soup…”
Worm’s little horn was raised up and tried to press down.
Rod thought for a while: “Then I will help you scrub your bath, massage your back, and rub your stomach, how about it? ”
”Hurulu!”
Worm became happy and nudged in Rod’s arms.
