Chapter 379 September, I Hope Rhodes Is Okay

Makarov led the team to run away without loyalty.

As the last conscience of the guild, Rhode decided to stay and see what happened.

Mira also stayed. Rhode guessed that she might want to see more fun... No, no, no, we must believe that our Mira is kind in nature.

I don't know if the audience regarded the escape of the Fairy Tail as part of the performance, so they also fled noisily after leaving the necessary cheers and applause.

It seems that after the horrible battle shown in the drama, it is reasonable for some extras nearby to perform the escape.

The audience cheered and fled, and even felt more involved.

The magnificent theater was left with only a pile of ruins. On the stage in the middle of the ruins were Natsu and Gray who were beaten down, Erza who took a bow, and Lucy who was wrapped in a cloak and bowed reluctantly.

At this time, Erza thought she had completed a great performance, while Lucy was still thinking whether this time was a success or a mess.

Mira walked up while clapping: "Congratulations, the performance was a complete success!"

"Thank you." Erza accepted the congratulations calmly, "But my performance is still immature, thank you for coming to support me."

Lucy asked weakly: "Can this be considered a success?"

Mira was sure: "Of course, because everyone is very happy."

Rod nodded and said: "Audience satisfaction is success."

"That would be great." Lucy said belatedly, "Ah, I just seemed to see the president, and everyone..."

"Well, the president brought everyone to see your performance, but was worried that he would have to compensate for the loss of the theater, so he ran away."

"Oh no!" Lucy covered her head and was horrified. "The theater was destroyed!"

This girl is as slow as ever.

"It's okay, thank you." A middle-aged man appeared from behind the stage. He was Rabian, the head of the Shezad Theater and the client this time.

Rabian said straightforwardly: "It doesn't matter if you don't have to pay compensation. I can even give you remuneration, thank you. But..."

"But?"

"But you have to stay, thank you, and continue to perform for at least one week, thank you."

'Thank you' seems to be his catchphrase. Is he a very polite person? Rhode felt that this approach was acceptable.

"No problem!" Without waiting for Lucy to speak, Erza immediately agreed and said enthusiastically, "No matter how many performances you have to perform!"

She even wanted to start rehearsing immediately.

Lucy wanted to say that Erza agreed too hastily, but since she destroyed someone else's theater, it was reasonable to be asked to work a few more days to recover the losses.

She hesitated for a moment and looked at Mira: "Is it okay to work instead of compensation?"

Mira said: "Since the client has said so, as long as you agree, it's fine."

"It can only be like this." Lucy sighed, she couldn't afford so much compensation now.

Rabian immediately said, "Then there is no time for idle chat, thank you. Let's start cleaning up the ruins and building an open-air stage!"

Rabian now feels that the theater is redundant, and these wizards are treasures.

"Ah! Aren't you Miss Mirajane? Thank you!" Rabian rushed to Mira and rubbed his hands expectantly, "Excuse me, would you like to come to my troupe to perform?"

Rod put down his fist. Seeing Rabian's look just now, he thought he was going to take action.

Mira smiled and waved her hand: "Thank you for your invitation, but we have things to do and will go back soon."

"What a pity, thank you."

"Then we will leave first. The guild will start to renovate tomorrow, and there are a lot of things to do." Rod felt that this client was not bad. With Erza, they would not suffer any loss.

Natsu and Gray suddenly jumped up: "Is the guild completed?"

Seeing Rhode nod, they looked regretful: "Damn, it took too long to catch up with such an important thing!"

"Then you should work hard next time and try to catch up with the decoration." Rhode said, "Also, don't make any more mistakes."

Erza slapped her breastplate to show that everything would be fine with her around.

However, the development of things is always unpredictable.

…

It was August 28th when we said goodbye, and it was September 8th when we met again in the guild.

Although they had rested for a day after returning, Lucy, Natsu, Gray, and even Happy looked exhausted.

Only Erza handed in the task list with great enthusiasm: "It's a great experience to be an actor. It would be great if there is such an opportunity next time."

"No..." Lucy leaned over the counter, and even though she was tired, she insisted on complaining, "Why is Erza so enthusiastic?"

"Isn't it great to bring spiritual pleasure and relaxation to the audience through superb performances and help them temporarily put aside their worries?"

Erza regarded this job as meaningful, and her whole body seemed to be shining.

"How can our performance be superb... and that boss is too much!" Lucy cried about this bad experience, "Such performances have to be three times a day!"

If it was just that the client was a bastard, it would be easy to deal with. The problem is that they are in the wrong, and Erza is very enthusiastic.

The boss is a poor man who had to divorce his wife because he pursued his dream of drama and was not understood by his wife.

I couldn't even bring myself to beat him.

"Well, well..." Mira smiled throughout the whole process, "At least I got paid, isn't it good?"

"Probably." Although she successfully got the reward this time, Lucy never wanted to experience such a thing again.

"But I was really shocked when I just came back. The guild was renovated so quickly."

"No, only the first floor was completed first. Listen, there are still construction sounds upstairs." Mira said, "It will take a few more days for the guild to fully resume operation."

"That's great." Lucy sat up and leaned on the counter to look around. "And the floor area has not changed, but it feels much more spacious."

"Because it has been replanned, many of the original rooms have been moved upstairs or downstairs." Mira suddenly thought of something, "By the way, the tavern is recruiting new waiters. Lucy, do you want to try it?"

"That..." Lucy still likes to go out on adventures and complete various tasks.

Mira tempted: "Maybe we'll give you nice waiter uniforms~"

Lucy was not tempted at all: "Who would become a waiter just for a uniform..."

However, Erza's eyes sparkled: "What kind of uniform is it? Please let me try it!"

"Really..." Lucy held her forehead and forgot about Erza.

Mira covered her mouth and laughed. Sure enough, Erza was the most enthusiastic about this kind of thing.

"Why don't I see Mr. Rhodes?"

"The library was just renovated yesterday, and he's helping to organize it." Mira pouted, "With Levi."

"Miss Mira, are you okay..."

"It's okay, Rhodes and Levi have a good relationship, and he has learned word magic from Levi." Mira played with the empty wine glass in her hand and said faintly, "It's normal for two people to be alone in a dim space."

Although she had no idea what was going on, Erza nodded in agreement: "Yes, Rhodes also asked me about the costume magic, and we have been alone in such an environment, it's okay."

Lucy looked at the cracked cup in Mira's hand and whispered: "Well, Erza, I feel that if you continue talking, Mr. Rhodes will be in trouble..."
