178. Chapter 177 Fairy Tail, Cheers!
Chapter 177 Fairy Tail, Cheers!
The hair tie was not expensive, and Goodman winked and gave him a discount.
Rod was very happy, and wanted to thank him after spending money.
Mira put away the New Year’s gift, looked at Rod quietly, and thought about what to give in return.
”It’s great to be young.” Goodman watched the two people leave, and remembered that he and Molly had a similar period.
They liked each other and got close to each other. They didn’t say it out loud but they knew it.
During such a period, every day there was a hazy expectation and simple happiness, and occasionally there would be a little worry about gains and losses.
If he were to say it, this period was probably the most memorable.
“But he is so lucky to be favored by Miss Mirajane, isn’t he?”
Although Mirajane used to have a bad temper, she is now a famous beauty. It is really enviable.
Goodman looked at the knitting made by his wife in the store – forget it, he is not very envious.
…
There is an ice cream shop on the way back, which is still popular even in winter.
In other words, it seems to be more popular than in summer.
Many children clamored to buy ice cream cones with their pocket money, and ran around cheering after getting them, making people worry that they would drop them on the ground without eating a bite.
Rod bought a matcha flavored one and handed it to Mira: “I said I would treat you to ice cream last time.”
”Why is there only one?” Mira took it and asked, “Aren’t you going to eat it?”
”Well… I don’t really want to eat it.” Rod thought for a while and made up a story, “I didn’t bring much money today.”
”Then I’ll treat you to one too?” Mira was about to take out her wallet.
”No, no…” Rod quickly stopped her, “There are so many people in line, we have to wait for a long time, we should go back.”
Mira felt that this person was a little strange today. Didn’t she usually like to eat with her? Mira tasted it doubtfully, it was icy and tasted very good…
Then she noticed Rod’s eyes: “Do you really not want to eat it?”
Rod’s eyes were erratic: “This… Actually… I can do it.”
Huh, he has no good intentions.
Mira ignored him and ate her own.
Seeing that the ice cream was getting less and less as they got closer to the guild, Rhode couldn’t help but hint: “Well, is it delicious?”
”Hmm…” Mira looked at him and wanted to laugh. She said seriously,
”The quality of the cream is very good, and the taste of matcha is also great. The cool sweetness carries a little fragrance of matcha. It’s delicious.”
Is that what I’m asking? Rhode looked at Mira’s expression and felt that she was doing it on purpose.
Mira held back her laughter and said: “Thank you for treating me to such delicious ice cream.”
”You’re welcome.” Rhode sighed and saw that she ate the last bit and had no intention of sharing it with him.
Alas, the conspiracy was exposed.
Before entering the guild, Mira kicked Rhode’s calf.
……
”You guys came back so fast.” Laqi said with a smile, “The merchant only sent the goods back for more than half an hour.”
Mira glanced at Rhodes and smiled, “Sorry, I was delayed on the way.”
”Yes, yes, delayed~”
”Laqi~”
”Hehe~ Anyway, the things have been counted, and the receipt is on the counter.” Laqi smiled, “If this continues, I will apply for a raise.”
Mira smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work. I’ll treat you to a cake next time.”
”Okay.” Laqi nodded and stretched out her hand in front of Rhodes.
Rod wondered, “What?”
Laki blinked and whispered, “One chance for Sister Mira to treat me to a cake. I’ll sell it to you for 10,000 J. Take the money.” Rod showed a smug expression, “With a budget of 10,000 J, I can just ask her out. Why would I buy an opportunity from you?”
Laki wanted to beat him up, damn ‘loving couple’.
…
December 31, X783, the Fairy Tail New Year celebration started on this day.
Everyone has been decorating the guild since morning.
Some of the decorations were bought by Rod and Mira a few days ago, and some were made by everyone on the spot.
Gray’s ice and Lidas’s paintings are the main ones.
HappyFlying around, hanging various decorations on the roof and other high places according to Mira’s instructions.
Natsu said he didn’t want to lose to Gray and wanted to light a fire inside and outside the guild, but he was beaten by the president and thrown into the yard.
When he arrived in the yard, Natsu was honest because Erza was competing with Elfman in making rice cakes.
Elfman had nothing to say, shouting slogans like manly, hammering hard.
Erza seemed to be particularly excited, and she changed into a bunny girl costume to make rice cakes, hitting and jumping, hitting and jumping.
The game between the two in the yard attracted many spectators, and cheers and cheers came one after another.
It was hard to say what they were watching and cheering for.
Rod made sure that he didn’t look at anything he shouldn’t look at, but just felt that he should cheer for Elfman more.
“Forget it, let’s go help Mira.” He was a man with a strong desire to survive.
Mira stood on tiptoe to hang a ribbon, but the height was a little short.
Rod reached out to help her hang it.
This kind of unintentional fingertip touch is the most heart-warming. Although there are many in normal times, each time is different.
The two did not take the initiative to create opportunities, but they did not deliberately avoid them.
”Go up a little.” Mira asked Rod to adjust his position, “It seems very lively in the yard.”
”Eluza and Elfman are playing rice cakes.” Rod said seriously, “I don’t understand why those guys who neither help nor referee are joining in the fun.”
”It’s fun to play rice cakes when it’s lively… Is it good-looking?” Mira asked with a smile.
”I didn’t notice.” The witty Rod would not blurt out his true feelings because of a sudden question.
Mira tilted her head and said in a ‘confused’ way: “I’m asking about the effect of hanging this ribbon. What are you talking about?”
“…” Rhodes’ brain was working fast. He stepped back and looked at it carefully for a while. ”Well, I didn’t notice it just now because I was too close. It really looks good from a distance. Hmm… You have a good eye for buying things.”
”Is that so?” Mira stepped back to Rhodes with her hands behind her back and decided to let him go.
Lidas looked at the backs of the two people, quickly picked up the paintbrush, and painted a scene of the two of them looking up at the decorations on the wall.
…
The guild held a party in the evening. Although not all members were there, the excitement was not bad at all.
The host was naturally Marcus, who liked this kind of occasion the most. There were some jokes between the words, which had the potential to be a talk show.
In addition to Mira singing a song on the stage, many people also went up to perform.
It may not be very professional, but it is always fun to have fun among the people.
Everyone kept making noise until midnight, and then Marcus used sand magic to make a few numbers and began to count down excitedly: ”10, 9, 8…2, 1!”
Then the president shouted: “Fairy Tail, Cheers!”
Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison: “Fairy Tail, Cheers!”
To the left of Rod was Mira, and to the right was Natsu, and then Erza, Gray, Loki, Cana, Levy… all the way to Elfman on the left of Mira.
Happy rode on Worm and was surrounded by everyone. Today, Loki rarely ran away when he saw Rod.
The voices of this small circle of people mixed in the crowd: “Fairy Tail, Cheers!”
