Chapter 147 The partial Mira
After Rhodes paid his respects, Mira squatted in front of the tombstone and whispered to Lisanna.
Rhodes signaled to Elfman and quietly retreated outside the cemetery to wait.
After a while, he saw Mira standing up and reluctantly placed her hand on the tombstone and rubbed it for a while before leaving.
The three of them walked together on the way back to the guild, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
"I'm fine." Mira said.
"Yeah." Rhodes nodded slightly.
Mira said: "I thought you would say that the matter is over, and advise us not to be sad or something like that."
Rhodes shook his head: "That was my original plan, but even if I stand in the cemetery, I will feel sad."
Lisanna's tombstone reads X768~X782, which means she was only fourteen years old when she died.
Even according to the country's laws, she won't be considered an adult until this year.
This situation should be called premature death. It is something that causes great grief to relatives and regrets to others, not to mention that there is such an inside story.
Looking at the sad expressions of Mira and Elfman in the cemetery, Rhodes couldn't even say a word of condolence at that time.
As for now, Rhodes took a deep breath and exhaled: "The president said that sadness comes from life and love. I can't stop you from expressing your love for Lisanna."
"'However, we commemorate the deceased not to immerse ourselves in sorrow for a long time, but to remind us to cherish life and inspire us to continue to move forward firmly. That is probably what Lisanna wants to see.' If there is more to come , the president would probably say so." Mira looked at the sky, "What do Elfman think?"
"As a man, no matter what happens, you must try to live and go on firmly."
Rhodes said: "That would be the best."
If there really were two siblings who could talk so easily, they wouldn't have trouble receiving magic by now.
When she was about to return to the guild, Mira returned to her usual smile: "Thank you, Rhodes."
Rhodes shook his head: "Just don't blame me for being reckless."
"How could that be?" Mira smiled, it was rare to see him act rashly.
And didn’t you act impudently in the cemetery just now and pay your respects properly?
She thought for a while and asked: "I may be very busy next time, can you help me a little more?"
"Okay, Rhodes, the tavern waiter, has been promoted to assistant to the president's assistant." Rhodes said, "Will there be a salary increase?"
Mira said: "Because there is no such position in the guild, there is no salary increase!"
The three of them stepped into the guild gate together, and Rhodes continued:
"I'm getting a promotion without a raise, so I want to complain."
Mira regained a little liveliness: "The complaint has been received and dismissed!"
Rhodes raised a hand: "Continue to appeal and complain all the way to the top management, the inspection team, and the head of the finance department!"
"Those are all mine, keep rejecting them!" Mira knocked his arm off and said with a smile, "But as compensation, I can buy you coffee."
Rhodes grimaced: "It's even more inhumane. If you are forced to work overtime and buy coffee, doesn't that mean you have to work overtime until late at night?"
"So what if I don't have humanity? I'm a devil!" Mira made a ferocious expression, not being ferocious at all, "So do you want to go?"
"Yes." You would be a fool not to go.
Elfman suddenly stopped: "Rhode, let's have a fight?"
"Ah? Why?"
"I don't know why, but I suddenly want to fight."
The tavern became inexplicably agitated, and a bunch of people waved their fists:
"Fuck him, Elfman!"
"Come on Elfman!"
"It's up to you, Elfman!"
"What's the matter with you!" Rhodes yelled, and then said, "Enough training tonight." Everyone felt disappointed. After finally confirming that Mira and Elfman were fine and ready to cause trouble, they actually went to Drag later.
Everyone was unhappy for a while, so a wine glass flew out. If you don't want to fight, you can find trouble to fight. If you are idle, you are idle.
Rhodes raised his hand and knocked the wine glass away at will. He pushed Mira's back with the other hand and told her to go to the president to avoid it.
Probably this made some people even more angry, and at the same time made them lose their scruples, so plates, wine bottles, and various sundries flew out right after.
Rhodes picked up a stool, rotated it a few times to block it, then put down the stool, stepped on it with one foot, and said in a whisper: "I have some experience in dealing with flying objects."
"Rod! You bastard!" Gray got up from the ground, and the stool was pulled out from under his butt.
Rhodes didn't even look at him, he looked up at the sky, not because he was arrogant, but because: "I don't fight with naked men."
Gray lowered his head: "When?"
"If you care about such trivial matters at this time, blame him!"
Gray was knocked down by someone unknown, and a group of people rushed forward and attacked Rhodes.
You have experience in dealing with flying objects. How about dealing with flying people?
"Hey! You don't have martial ethics!"
I don’t know who punched him, but he kicked him back, and I don’t know who kicked him, so he elbowed him in return.
The real man battle between one person and more than 20 people officially started, and the scene was chaotic.
Gray, who was knocked down at the beginning, was stepped on several times. When he got up, he had forgotten about Rhodes and just grabbed a nearby person and started beating him.
Elfman, who wanted to fight Rhodes, was inexplicably hit several times by others and forgot his original goal.
The fight that was originally meant to beat up Rhodes soon turned into a big melee. I don't know who is being beaten, and I don't know who is being beaten. Anyway, fight first and then talk about it.
Until someone couldn't restrain themselves and took the lead in using magic, many people were ready to start a real fight.
"That's enough brats, do you want to break up the guild?"
"Enough is enough! Spear of the Thunder Emperor!"
The voices of Makarov and Erza rang together, followed by a big hand and a cyan thunder and lightning.
Most of them were knocked into the floor by the president's big hand, and the other half were twitched by Erza's thunder and lightning.
Rod was among the group of people who were photographed on the floor.
"Ah la la la..." Mira was watching the excitement as usual, watching everyone's misfortune, focusing on someone lying in the pit with a regretful face.
Because someone pushed her near the president, she was not knocked down by a flying bottle or Elfman today.
A few minutes later, Rhodes sat in front of the counter and asked Mira to apply the potion on his face with a depressed look on his face.
"I was careless. I should have run out quietly before the president got angry." Rhodes reviewed his mistake. He mainly wanted to get back the money with two more punches. He was greedy for output.
"Don't go out of your way to review this kind of thing." Mira patted his shoulder lightly and went to the kitchen to get two peeled hard-boiled eggs.
"Turn around and tilt your head up."
Rhodes did as he was told, leaning against the counter and raising his head, and found that Mira looked good from this angle.
The egg gently pressed against his eye socket, rolling slightly and feeling warm.
These people's attacks were too dark, and their eyes were bruised.
It hurt a little, but Rhodes laughed instead. It was a good fight... Anyway, he didn't lose in any sense.
The group of people who remembered why they were fighting became even more angry when they saw this scene.
Not to mention blue eyes, there are also many people who have bumps on their heads, swollen faces, and knocked out teeth.
This kind of injury is not even a minor injury. When have you ever seen Mira care so much?
Damn Rod!
Let’s have another fight!
"Huh?" Erza, who was wearing the Thunder Emperor's armor, glanced over and everyone stopped.
Forget it, next time.
