Chapter 359: Moving Bricks and Love Bento
Lucy was right, because after hearing Rhode's idea, the president waved his hand directly: "Let's do it like this, leave it to you!"
There is no joy in moving bricks with these troublesome things. The old man kept sweating and never tired of it.
Makarov found that it was better to let go of the shopkeeper in front of happiness. Look, look, the children will make their own plans for the future.
Being a president is to be good at promoting the growth of children.
Rhodes had no choice but to go to the foreman Erza and ask her to first call a team of workers to help.
Erza heard that it was for everyone's livelihood, so she immediately took the lead in the work herself. With Kana as the vanguard, and Elfman, Natsu and Gray as generals, the project progressed rapidly.
As for Rhodes himself, of course he went to the basement to look for mission information, some left over from the past and some accumulated over the past seven or eight days.
He picked out the most urgent ones, filled out the task sheets one by one, and then found some relatively easy tasks for everyone according to the level of remuneration.
The rest is just a slow turn.
Mira is very busy now and can only do these tasks alone.
When he returned with a stack of task lists, the space had been cleared, the bulletin board had been erected, and the counter was being built.
Erza seemed to be planning to open a temporary tavern as well, so she built a shed behind the counter.
Rhodes strongly suspected that this was Kanata's suggestion. She was the most energetic when moving tables and stools.
But that’s okay, the boring construction site life should really give everyone a place to rest.
By the time these things were completed, the sun had already set, and it looked like we could only open tomorrow.
The tavern opened for business immediately. Many people, like Kana, had been restrained in the Senate camp for too long and wanted to indulge.
The wine was on hand, the kitchen was in the basement, and Mr. Cook worked overtime to give everyone a good meal.
Although the conditions are simple, the guild has finally returned to its normal bustling atmosphere.
…
Early the next morning, Mira officially announced to everyone that the temporary counter had begun accepting job applications.
A crowd of people rushed over.
"Rhode has screened out urgent tasks and tasks with different difficulties but relatively generous rewards for everyone. Please let those who are in urgent need of living expenses come first!"
"Very good!"
Mira was in charge of all the counter work, while Rhodes... went to move the bricks.
After a bunch of guys who didn't have the habit of saving left, the construction site was short of manpower, so Rhodes had to make up for it and treat it as exercise.
The counter was bustling for a while before calming down again. Lucy stood side by side with Nabu in front of the bulletin board for a while.
She saw several tasks that she wanted to do, but every time she stretched out her hand, she took it back again, feeling a little uneasy.
After hesitating for a while, Lucy seemed to have made a decision and left silently.
She found that if she didn't solve that matter, she wouldn't be able to settle down and work well.
Leaving alone didn't attract much attention. Everyone was either busy or thought she had chosen a task and wanted to go alone.
Makarov came a little late today, and called both Rhodes and Erza over as soon as he arrived.
"I have to go to the Senate, and I'll leave it to you in the guild."
Rhodes asked: "Didn't you say you have to wait a few days?"
"Xiao Ya told me that it seems that because the matter has been going on for too long and the public opinion has fermented too much, the Council wants to eliminate the negative effects as soon as possible - if it drags on any longer, their ability to work will be questioned."
‘Xiao Ya’ is Mr. Yajima, one of the commentators, and he calls Makarov ‘Xiao Ma’.
The nicknames between the two little old men turned out to be quite cute.
Erza patted her chest: "Don't worry and leave it to us."
Don't look at anything inappropriate. Rhodes warned: "Don't fall asleep again this time, especially when talking about money."
"How, how can it be possible, ha, ha ha ha..." Makarov smiled guiltily.
Mira comforted you gently: "It's okay, President, if you don't get the funds you deserve this time, we will kick you out to perform S-level tasks and confiscate your rewards."
"!" Makarov cheered up, "I will definitely not fall asleep this time!"
Several people laughed.
"By the way, Laxus may come back in the next two days. Regarding what happened a few days ago..."
Before leaving, Makarov gave a few instructions, and the three of them agreed one by one.
It's okay to be unhappy, but things have passed. There is no point in worrying about whether he participated in the war. For the president's sake, just treat him as late.
I hope Laxus can wake up in the future.
Otherwise, we can't wait until one day we can form a group to brush him like we did with Joseph.
Rhodes shook his head: "Okay, I'm going to work, Xiaomi."
Mira was stunned for a moment before she realized where the name Xiaomi came from. She also smiled and waved her hand: "Come on, Xiaode."
Erza held her chin and thought, what should I call her? Xiao Ai? Xiaosha?
It’s already noon amid the busy schedule.
Everyone took a short rest and prepared to have lunch.
It's summer now, and a bunch of guys who have been working for a long time are huddled together, and the smell of sweat is high.
A group of people shouted: "Gray! Get some ice quickly, it's so hot!"
"It's so troublesome." Gray complained, "Ice shape·parasol!"
Swish, swish, there was a large ice crystal umbrella with poor light transmittance next to each table, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop a lot all of a sudden.
Juvia's eyes were full of love as she peeked from behind the woodpile. Such beautiful magic, water magic and ice magic are a perfect match.
And since she met him, Juvia found that it was no longer raining uncontrollably around her.
The day she first met Gray was also the day Juvia felt the warm sun for the first time.
Gray felt the hot gaze and turned back suddenly, but still couldn't see it. He rubbed his stomach: "Damn, I'm even hungrier after using magic."
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue figure flashed by, and Gray had a lunch box in his arms.
"What is this?"
Rod was eating at Mira and Elfman's place. Mira didn't care about the sweat on these two guys, after all, they were like this every day after training.
"Did you see it clearly?" Rod asked, "What a fast speed, worthy of the top four elements."
Mira smiled and said, "I feel that when I fought her before, her speed was not so fast."
Elfman asked in confusion, "What is she doing here? Revenge for the Phantom?"
"How can you send a lunch box to the object of revenge, and it's a love lunch box." Rod looked at Mira, "It's a love lunch box."
Mira put a piece of meat into Rod's mouth. What are you looking at? It's not like I haven't made it for you before.
She thought for a while and said with a smile, "Do you want to eat that kind of lunch box too? I'll ask Elfman to make it for you tomorrow."
Rod almost choked.
Elfman also showed a collapsed expression, "Sister..."
As expected of a demon, he killed two people with one sentence.
