Chapter 379: September, I hope Rod is fine
Chapter 379 September, I hope Rhodes is okay
Makarov was very unloyal and led the team to run away.
As the guild's last remaining conscience, Rhodes decided to stay and see the situation.
Mira also stayed, and Rhodes guessed that she might want to have more fun... No, no, no, we have to believe that our Mira is essentially kind.
I wonder if the escape of the Fairy Tail crowd was regarded as part of the performance by the audience, so they also left the necessary cheers and applause before running away noisily.
It seems reasonable that after a horrific battle like the one shown in the drama, there would be some extras nearby to act out the escape.
The audience booed and ran away, even feeling a little more involved.
All that was left of the grand theater was a pile of ruins. On the stage in the middle of the ruins were Natsu and Gray who had been beaten to the ground, Erza taking her curtain call, and Lucy barely bowing while wrapped in a cape.
At this time, Erza thought she had completed a great performance, while Lucy was still thinking about whether she succeeded or messed up this time.
Mira walked up while applauding: "Congratulations, the performance is a complete success!"
"Thank you." Erza accepted the congratulations calmly, "However, my performance is still immature. Thank you for coming to support me."
Lucy asked weakly: "Can this be considered a success?"
Mira convinced: "Of course, because everyone is very happy."
Rhodes nodded and said: "The satisfaction of the audience is success."
"That would be great." Lucy said belatedly, "Ah, I just saw the president and everyone..."
"Well, the president brought everyone to watch your performance, but he was worried that he would have to compensate for the damage to the theater, so he ran away."
"Oops!" Lucy covered her head and was shocked. "The theater has been destroyed!"
The girl was as slow as ever.
"It's okay, thank you." A middle-aged man appeared from behind the stage. He was Rabian, the leader of Shezad Theater Company, the client this time.
Rabian said cheerfully: "It doesn't matter if you don't need to compensate, I can even give you a reward, thank you. But..."
"but?"
"But you have to stay, thank you, and continue performing for at least a week, thank you."
‘Thank you’ seems to be his mantra. Is he a very polite person? Rhodes felt that it was not unacceptable to deal with it this way.
"No problem!" Before Lucy could say anything, Erza immediately agreed and said enthusiastically, "No matter how many performances it takes!"
She even wanted to start rehearsing right away.
Lucy wanted to say that Erza agreed too hastily, but it was reasonable to be asked to work a few more days to make up for the loss after ruining the theater.
She hesitated and looked at Mira: "Is it okay to work in lieu of compensation?"
Mira said: "Since the client has said so, as long as you both agree, it's fine."
"This is the only way." Lucy sighed, she couldn't afford that much compensation now.
Rabian immediately said: "Then there is no time to chat, thank you. Let's start cleaning up the ruins and building an outdoor stage immediately!"
Rabian now feels that the theater is a redundant thing, and these magicians are the treasures.
"Ah! Aren't you Miss Mirajane? Thank you!" Rabian rushed to Mira and rubbed his hands expectantly, "Excuse me, do you want to come to my theater to act?"
Rhodes put down his fist. Looking at Rabian's behavior just now, he thought he was going to take action.
Mira smiled and waved her hand: "Thank you for the invitation, but we have other things to do and will go back soon."
"What a shame, thank you."
"Then let's go first. The guild will start decorating tomorrow, and there are a lot of things to be busy with." Rhodes feels that this client is not bad. With Erza here, they will not suffer.
Natsu and Gray suddenly jumped up: "The guild has been completed?" Seeing Rhodes nodding, the two of them looked regretful: "Damn it, it took too long, and I didn't catch up with such an important thing!"
"Then you should work hard and try to catch up with the renovation." Rhodes said, "Also, stop making trouble."
Erza slapped her breastplate loudly, indicating that with her there, there would be no problem.
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 coming back, Lucy, Natsu, Gray, and even Happy looked exhausted.
Only Erza submitted the task list with great energy: "Being an actor is really a good experience. It would be great if there is such an opportunity next time."
"No way..." Lucy leaned on the counter, insisting on complaining even though she was very tired, "Why is Erza so energetic?"
“Isn’t it great to bring spiritual joy and relaxation to the audience through superb performances and help them put aside their worries for a while?”
Erza regarded this job as very meaningful, and her whole body seemed to be shining.
"Our performance is so superb...and that boss is too much!" Lucy cried and complained about this terrible experience. "There are three performances like that a day!"
It would be easier to handle if the client was simply a bastard, but the problem is that they were wrong, and Erza was very energetic.
The boss is another poor man who was not understood by his wife and had to divorce in order to pursue his dream of acting.
I can't even beat him.
"Well..." Mira smiled the whole time, "At least I got paid, isn't it great?"
"Probably." Although she successfully got paid this time, Lucy never wanted to experience something like this again.
"But when I first came back, I was really shocked. The guild was decorated so quickly."
"No, it's just that the first floor has been completed first. Listen, there are still construction sounds upstairs." Mira said, "It will take a few more days before the guild can fully resume operations."
"That's great." Lucy sat up, leaning on the counter and looking around, "And the floor space has not changed, but it feels much more spacious."
"Because of the re-planning, 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. Would Lucy like to come and give it a try?" ?”
"Well..." Lucy still likes to go out on adventures and complete various tasks.
Mira said seductively: "I might give out nice waiter uniforms by then~"
Lucy was not tempted at all: "Who would go out of their way to be a waiter just to wear a uniform..."
However, Erza's eyes sparkled: "What kind of uniform is it? Please let me try it on!"
"It's true..." Lucy held her forehead and forgot about Erza.
Mira covered her mouth and smiled. As expected, Erza was the most enthusiastic about this kind of thing.
"Why didn't you see Mr. Rhodes?"
"The library was just renovated yesterday, and he is helping to organize it." Mira flattened her mouth, "With Lebby."
"Miss Mira, are you okay..."
"It's okay. Rhodes and Lebby have a good relationship. He also learned word magic from Lebby." Mira played with the empty wine glass in her hand and said quietly, "Even if the two of us are in a dark space, It’s normal to be alone.”
Although she had no idea what was going on, Erza nodded in agreement: "Yes, Rhodes also asked me about the costume magic. We have also been alone in that environment. It's okay."
Lucy looked at the cracked cup in Mira's hand and whispered: "Well, Erza, I feel like something will happen to Mr. Rhodes if you keep talking..."
