Chapter 368 Where Is Your Salary?

The first day of August started with welcoming the return of the president.

It was midsummer, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Worm began to dislike coming here except for three meals a day.

Rhodes and Mira's evil plan was declared bankrupt before it was implemented. They couldn't bear to let everyone work overtime under the scorching sun.

Although Rhodes could think of a more evil plan of working in the middle of the night and resting during the day.

"President!"

"The president is back!"

"President, you have worked hard all the way!"

Everyone greeted Makarov happily. In their opinion, although Phantom was fully responsible for causing such a big incident, as the president of the Holy Ten, he might also be detained for a few days.

It's good to be able to return safely.

Makarov looked at the completed part of the first floor and said happily: "The progress is very fast. Everyone has worked hard."

Mira poured him a cup of tea: "President, is everything going well? Have you been troubled?"

"Although there were some routine questions, I handled them all beautifully!"

As for how he was questioned and how he "handled them beautifully", Makarov did not say. The children just need to know that their father is very powerful.

He jumped onto the counter and said loudly: "I have good news for everyone. I brought back a large amount of funds, so just build our guild beautifully!"

"Oh!!!"

The guild is everyone's home. Who doesn't want to make their home better?

Rhode broke the rules and poured Makarov a glass of wine: "Great, President, come and sign the bill."

"No problem!" Makarov drank it generously, and then felt a little uncomfortable, "By the way, shouldn't we have a party to celebrate? We're about to start work?"

"No, if we have a party, we'll be hungover again, and then we'll owe others money." Rhode put a stack of bills in front of him,

"Look, the cost of building materials such as wood, stone, and cement, the cost of hiring professional designers, the cost of hiring those technicians, the compensation for damaged buildings, the cost of replenishing magic crystals and magic books, and the salary of the tavern last month..."

The various items added together are indeed not a small amount.

If Fairy Tail had not had a high credit in the area, the project would have been stalled long ago.

"I know." Makarov sighed.

He thought about how embarrassed Rhode and Mira were when they were on credit these days, and how tired Laqi and Marcus were working overtime to save material costs, so he didn't have time to complain.

"Come on, President." Mira encouraged, "You just need to sign the bills today, there is no need to write a self-criticism."

Because the first group of people who went out to do the mission have not returned yet, they should not have had time to get into trouble.

"..." Makarov was almost petrified. By the way, there may be a new self-criticism to write in a few days...

So, the period of isolation and investigation was actually the most relaxing days for him?

Makarov signed the bills one by one with stiff body. Xiaoya advised me to retire early, which was indeed correct.

Rhode looked at Mira helplessly. Isn't it too much to hit the president just after he came back?

Mira stuck out her tongue and got used to it.

Rhode had to take out two medicine bottles and stuff them into Mira's hands.

Those were emergency medicines prepared for the president, which he specially took from Grandma Polyusica.

The elders are not in good health, so the younger generation has to make more preparations.

Although it feels strange to take out such preparations at this time.

Although Mira took the medicine bottle, she waved to Rhode. The president is very strong, otherwise he would have died before he reached 88... Ugh!

The president will live a long life.

…

As soon as the funds were in place, the salary was paid immediately.

Along with the salary, there was also compensation for the previously damaged store.

Rod's damaged treasury was finally replenished.

In addition to the salary, the great hero Laqi also received a large bonus.

Laqi was in a complicated mood. She had a long-awaited little cutie that could be obtained in advance.

In order to have such a good life next month, she had the idea of ​​working harder.

It was so scary. Laqi patted her palm with a thick stack of banknotes: "I feel like I'm going to lose to the evil money."

Rod couldn't bear to see his companion so distressed: "Why don't you let me help you deal with these evil things."

Laqi ignored him and complained to Mira directly: "Sister Mira, your boyfriend asked another woman for money!"

"Really?" Mira covered her face and acted shy, "He must think that I work too hard to do this, I'm so touched. So, just give him the money."

"Huh~" Laqi ran away with the fruits of her labor.

Rod and Mira had a long-awaited meal in a restaurant outside at noon - in fact, it didn't take long.

After the meal, the two went to the bank.

It always feels uneasy to keep a large amount of cash in hand, so Mira also saved part of her salary.

She took her passbook and Rod's passbook in her hand, opened them and counted them together.

It's almost there. If the two of them work together, they will be able to save enough soon. If he dares not to propose to me at that time... Humph!

Mira suddenly found that the amount in Rhodes's deposit record was wrong: "Aren't you going to save this month's salary?"

"Well, we both probably can't go out to work this month, I want to keep it just in case."

"That's true..." Mira showed a distressed expression, "Then I think I saved too much."

Such an expression is very cute. Rhode was somewhat touched. Not only he, but Mira was also making good plans for the future.

Rhode embraced her and said arrogantly: "It's okay, I will support you. So..."

Mira looked at him: "So?"

"So do you want to move to my house?"

"You have no good intentions!"

...

Just after the hottest time in the afternoon, the construction site immediately became busy.

This time, Makarov transformed into a giant to lead the work.

As long as he was busy, he could legitimately push those troublesome tasks to Mira and Rhode

This is definitely not shirking responsibility, but the most reasonable work arrangement.

His giant magic is suitable for this kind of physical labor.

As the president, you must know how to make the best use of people!

Rhode and Mira had no choice but to deal with the trivial matters left by the president one by one. They were used to it, but it was just more troublesome now.

However, some things cannot be avoided even if you want to.

That night, when the tavern was still open, Rhode received a letter sent by the Council using magic.

Erza and the others hadn't returned yet, but the complaint had already been made to the Council.

After reading the complaint, Rhode asked Mira to bring medicine and went to find Makarov, who was drinking alone in a quiet place.

"President."

"Hmm?" Makarov was seriously thinking about retirement and hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem at this time. "You are here, do you want to sit down and have a drink together?"

"No need, President." Rhode planned to lay the groundwork for the old man before Mira spoke.

"Actually, Erza teamed up with Natsu, Gray, and Lucy to go out to work. They accepted the task of defeating the magic cult."

Makarov realized that something was wrong: "The result... What was the result?"

Mira handed over the letter: "Although Rhode reminded them to restrain themselves, they still destroyed three streets in the end."

"Three..."

Rhode quickly supported the old man: "President, don't be excited! President!"
