Chapter 355 Drinking Tea
Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, it was said by Makarov himself, so Lahar had to ask someone to write it down.
The core idea is: it was all the fault of the Phantom, and Fairy Tail was forced to fight back in self-defense.
After removing those subjective words, the general context of the incident can be verified based on the testimony of other people.
Anyway, the Phantom was right to start the fight first. At the beginning, there was a suspicion of overreaction, but after Makarov was attacked and fell, it was a reasonable counterattack.
Facing the terrifying war weapons of the Phantom and the deterrence of the Ten Holy Mages, it is understandable to attack harder.
After the president's talk, it was Erza and Mira.
Rhode didn't need to explain to the two of them, just say whatever he wanted to say.
Highlight the grief of seeing the guild destroyed just after returning from a long trip, and the despair of being threatened by the Ten Holy Mages.
After them was Lucy, and Lahar asked about Lucy's father hiring the Phantom to take her back.
Lucy insisted that she had already reached adulthood, and it was her own business to leave home and stay in Fairy Tail.
Taking her back by force was against her will, so the ghost's mission was basically equivalent to an illegal mission such as kidnapping.
Although this answer might cause some trouble to her father, Lucy couldn't care less.
She couldn't admit that her father's behavior was reasonable, and her companions were obstructing other people's missions.
After Lucy came out... she got off work.
It was already late, and dinner was prepared.
Rod took Worm and Natsu, who felt guilty when he saw the Council, to a table with the people who were questioned today.
"How is it, did they abuse lynching?"
"Of course not, we are not prisoners." Makarov was still in a very excited state, "You don't know how wonderful my speech today was!"
"Haha." Rod thought to himself, how could I not know?
Mira smiled and raised a finger: "Since the president is so outstanding, I will reward you with a bottle of wine when I go back. I brought it from the Cat Inn."
"That's great!" Makarov was excited, "But Mira, why are you wearing Erza's clothes? It feels weird."
"Really?" Mira thought it was quite interesting.
She was wearing a sleeveless shirt borrowed from Erza, a blue bow tie, and a blue pleated skirt.
In order to match this outfit, Mira deliberately let down her bangs and arranged her hairstyle to be the same as Erza.
She looked like a white-haired version of Erza.
"I think it's very suitable." Erza deliberately changed her armor and wore a set of clothes of the same style as Mira.
She also thought it was interesting to wear the same clothes as her companions occasionally.
Rhode made no secret of his love: "I think Mira looks good like this, too."
"Really?" Mira was quite happy and discussed with Erza, "How about giving me this set? I'll give you one of my favorite styles someday."
"Exchange dressing styles? It seems like a good idea." Erza became interested and thought about trying to tie her hair like Mira next time.
Lucy grumbled in a low voice: "I think Mr. Rhode will say that Miss Mira looks good no matter what she does."
Rhode did not refute, this sentence seemed to be the truth.
Erza took out another set of the same style and asked: "Do you want to try it, Lucy?"
"What is this? A group dress-up as Erza?" Lucy felt that this set did not match her style.
"It's not bad to try it. Is it Lucy Erza, or Erza Lucy?" Natsu imagined Lucy wearing Erza's armor and grumbling, and it felt that it would be fun.
"Love! We can help Lucy take off her clothes."
Lucy covered her chest and hid away from the Happy: "You are harassing me!"
Gray threw his shirt away: "I can help too."
Lucy wanted to run away: "Why did you take off your clothes first? You are more perverted than harassing me!"
The few people made a fuss for a while, and the others didn't seem to be very quiet either. It should be a serious occasion, but the people from Fairy Tail were still noisy.
It's just that alcohol is not sold here, and some troublemakers like Natsu really feel uncomfortable, so the atmosphere is still a little worse than usual.
That's enough. The eyes of the forced detention team looking at the members of Fairy Tail are a little wrong. Are these people really waiting for investigation here?
Look at how quiet the Phantom is - although a considerable number of them haven't woken up yet.
The accommodation conditions at night can only be said to be make do, after all, the camp is arranged according to the standard of marching, not for enjoyment.
The hardware conditions are easy to accept, but the roommates living in the same tent can really toss.
This group of people snore, grind their teeth, talk in their sleep, and there are very few who sleep well.
Rhode had no choice but to endure it. If he couldn't stand it anymore, he would punch him to wake him up, and then knock him out with another punch before he could react.
This trick works well.
After all, they are all brothers, so there is no need to be polite.
After figuring out an effective method, Rhode barely had a good sleep.
The next morning, Rhode was the first to be called over.
Some people in the tent began to talk about the dream they had last night, dreaming that they were beaten up, and their bodies were still hurting.
Many people said they had the same dream.
After discussion, everyone agreed that it was the ghost's fault.
It must be that the wounds in the battle have not healed, so he felt such real pain in the dream.
...
The information desk was in a smaller tent. Laharl sat opposite Rhodes. There was someone behind him taking notes, and there was someone standing guard at the door.
Although the conditions were simple, the scene was quite formal.
There was even a cup of tea on the table in front of Rhodes.
This made him quite emotional. In the past, when he posted some beautiful pictures in the group, he would always joke that the group owner would be invited to drink tea.
Now he really drank tea.
Rhodes tasted it curiously, and it tasted like tea leaves.
Laharl took out a piece of information and began to read: "Mr. Rhodes, 19 years old, good at summoning magic and receiving magic, joined Fairy Tail in July last year, and his initial position was a waiter."
Rhodes nodded. Basic information was easy to find.
Lahar glanced at him and continued reading: "It was nearly two months after joining the guild that he began to accept ordinary tasks. Later, he accepted difficult tasks many times and helped the Council solve several problems... Since the beginning of this year, the number of tasks has increased rapidly, and there are few failures.
What is valuable is that even tedious and low-paid work can be completed conscientiously, which is well received by the residents of Magnolia.
Although he continues to serve as a waiter recently, he has actually fulfilled his duties as the president's assistant. In general, he is a very good wizard."
Quarod felt a little embarrassed.
The rapidly increasing number of tasks was solved by him and Mira when they played together, which was equivalent to a theme date.
While having fun, they also dealt with the guild's backlog of tasks.
As for the low pay and cumbersome process...playing script killing with someone you like and making money, who would find it cumbersome?
But...
"You can find out even these little things?"
Lahar said: "Mr. Makarov allowed us to check the mission records of Fairy Tail, and we also visited Magnolia seriously."
"Awesome." Rhode had to admit that Lahar was a talent.
"It's just my duty." Lahar said, "The above is just basic information, let's get to the point.
As the commander-in-chief of the final battle, what do you think about the violation of the "Treaty of Prohibition of Armed Confrontation" between Fairy Tail and the ruler of the Phantom?"
Even the commander-in-chief knew about it, so he must have been betrayed by the president when he was showing off.
Rhode said the words he had thought of long ago: "First of all, our Fairy Tail..."
"Sorry to interrupt." Lahar adjusted his glasses, "Mr. Makarov has already said once that the statement is too "official", please talk about something practical."
Rhode: "..."
