Chapter 131 Rod, will you write a letter of apology?
Mira changed back to her usual outfit, but left an extra bracelet.
Rod also returned to his normal life, with a little more joy in his heart.
Wait until everyone wakes up, put the messed up tables and chairs in order, fix the broken things, and then go home, work, and chat.
Makarov looked at the children who went to the bulletin board after cleaning up the guild, feeling both relieved and worried.
He thought about it seriously and said tentatively: “Rod.”
”What’s wrong, President?” Rod was trying to get Mira to go to the lounge to sleep.
She said she didn’t stay up all night, but she was definitely not getting enough sleep.
“Do you want to team up with someone else?” Makarov looked at the problem children in front of the bulletin board, “For example, how about Arzak?”
”President, I just came back, I want to rest for a few days.” Rhodes saw the president’s little thoughts at a glance, the old man was too obvious.
”That’s true.” Makarov was also a little embarrassed and sighed regretfully.
Rhodes wondered: “Why are you so worried? I remember Arzak is usually very stable and doesn’t get into trouble much, right?”
Mira explained for Makarov: “It’s because Arzak’s condition has been a bit wrong recently.
After the harvest festival, he went out to take two missions. Everything went well, but every time he was distracted at the critical moment, he almost hit the wrong target when he shot.
Especially last time, the client came to complain that Arzak’s magic bullet brushed his ear and shot past him, it was too scary.”
”So serious?” Rhodes frowned, “If this goes on, it will cause death, right?”
Mira wanted to yawn, but she held it back and continued:
”It’s not that serious yet, because Arzak often uses paralysis bullets. It won’t be a problem if he is hit, but this state is not very good.”
”Distracted at the critical moment, inattentive… I think it may be a lack of rest, and I need a good sleep.” Rod stared at Mira, “What do you think?”
Mira gave him a reproachful look: “Yes, yes, wait until I finish calculating yesterday’s flow…”
”I’ll help you calculate, I’m a science student, and my math test score is no less than 140.” Rod snatched the pen and account book from her.
”…”Mira didn’t understand what the scoring standard was, and judging from his expression, he should be very impressive.
She blinked, not wanting to disappoint his kindness: “President, I’ll take a rest for a while, you can talk to Arzak.”
”Ah, you’ve worked hard too.” Makarov nodded, and he should indeed let Arzak take a rest and try.
He looked at Rhode and then at Mira. They were both very reliable children.
…
More than a week had passed since the Harvest Festival, and the festive atmosphere in Magnolia had faded.
Because most of the tourists from other places had left, the guests in the tavern were only the guild members and a few nearby residents as usual. It was not as busy as before the festival, so Mira could still handle it without one person.
But when someone wants to accept a commission, the president needs to decide whether to agree. Rhode wanted to review the commission, but it was still a long way to go.
He could help with registration, stamping, and looking for information, and help the president share some of the burden. Usually, he always watched Mira do these things, and the process was very familiar.
Makarov glanced at Rhode who was working hard.
In fact, except for him and Mira, no one else could flip through the commission information casually.
But letting Rhode take a look… it didn’t seem to be a problem, so he didn’t say anything.
Makarov suddenly realized that this kid could do a lot of things, whether it was leading a team to do a mission or managing the guild, he seemed to be able to help. And he could do it well… No, not just well, but excellently.
I really want to throw everything to Rhode, Makarov had this thought.
Although it might be a bit hard… But there is Mira here, it won’t be hard for two people to do half each.
Makarov fell into deep thought, and suddenly asked after a moment: ”Rhode, will you write a letter of apology?”
”What?” Rhode’s pen stopped, why did he suddenly ask about the letter of apology?
”It’s the kind of letter of apology that the guild leader is ordered to submit to the Council after a guild member gets into trouble.”
”Don’t even think about it, I won’t write a single word of the self-criticism for you.”
Rod said firmly, “I just made contributions to the guild, and Gray just vomited blood for the guild, why do you want me to write a self-criticism?”
”… I’m not asking you to write it for me now.”
”It won’t work if I write it for you tomorrow.” Rod said, “I advise you to hurry up and write it. You may have to write a self-criticism tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow…”
”…”Makarov gradually petrified, the kid’s words were too heartbreaking.
”Hello, President Makarov! Rod, you’re back! It feels like I haven’t seen you for a long time.”
”Brother Goodman! I just came back yesterday… Because I just came back and held a party, I have been in the guild and haven’t had time to go home. ”
Rod was a little surprised. Goodman would occasionally come to the tavern for a drink, but the frequency was very low. Including this time, he had only seen Goodman twice in the guild.
”How did you find time to come here? Do you have a task to entrust?”
”No, I just wanted to take a break after being busy for a long time. By the way, you were very active on the day of the magic parade.”
”Don’t mention the magic parade. It feels very embarrassing.” Rod skillfully poured a glass of wine for Goodman, “By the way, I have a gift for you.”
Rod took out an exquisite wood carving, a piece of cloth with beautiful patterns, and a small toy similar to a bamboo dragonfly from the suitcase.
”This…this is too expensive, right?” Goodman’s family is engaged in the business of wood carving and weaving products. He felt that these things were valuable at first glance.
”I brought them back from the south. They are very cheap there, but the craftsmanship is quite special. I think you may like them. ”
Rod felt in his pocket and found the amulet hanging on the key, “Just consider it as a return for the gift you gave me before.”
”That’s just an ordinary amulet, the value is too different…” Goodman played with the wood carving, embarrassed to accept it, but reluctant to push it back.
Rod shook his head gently: “In my eyes, the value is the same, no, the value of this amulet may be even higher.”
Goodman didn’t know Rod’s origins, nor did he understand Rod’s situation at the time.
So he didn’t know that for Rod at that time, every bit of kindness from strangers was precious.
”Then, then I will accept it shamelessly?” Goodman really likes these things. He is thinking about whether to reduce the rent next month. “Molly and Bayer will definitely like it. I will bring them to thank you in a few days.”
Rod waved his hand: “It’s just a little souvenir, no need to be so solemn. ”
Goodman reluctantly put his things aside for a while, holding a glass of wine and asking about Rhode’s experience of going out, and also chatting with the president about Magnolia’s recent events.
When he saw the two people were busy, he went to chat with Makao and Wakaba. The three of them occasionally talked about topics about family and children.
After registering the tasks for the two people, Rhode saw a somewhat sloppy man walking to the counter: ”President Makarov, I want to join the guild, and I also want to join Levi’s Lane Engine Team. ”
