Chapter 134 Mysterious
Mila wore a white one-shoulder thin sweater today, with a simple and beautiful pattern.
The lower body is a pair of dark blue wide-leg jeans, paired with a pair of white flat shoes.
A simple outfit looks elegant and capable.
It's just that this kind of sweater design has very long sleeves that extend to cover half of the palm, but the shoulders and delicate collarbone are exposed, making people confused whether to keep cool or warm.
After careful research, Rhodes finally figured out that the most important meaning of this design is that it looks good.
The two of them went out together as promised near noon, leaving the matters in the tavern to Lucky, Sally and Izzy.
I received Rhode's gift just yesterday, and now I can't even complain.
The envious looks from other people are inevitable, but I won’t turn into a goose and block the road again.
"Is it cold?" Rhodes knew it was a bit blunt to ask, but he couldn't help it.
"It won't be cold in the guild. It's noon now, no problem." Mira paused, brushed her hair with her hands, and asked, "Doesn't it look good?"
Rhodes was a little surprised that Mira would ask this.
He pointed to his eyes: "I thought you could see the word 'good-looking' in my eyes."
"Is there any? Let me take a closer look." Mira took two quick steps and turned around in front of Rhodes, looking into his eyes with a smile.
Rhodes stopped and looked at her, looking at her light blue eyes, her slightly drooped corners, her beautiful eyelashes...
He also watched her raise her hand to smooth her hair unnaturally.
The atmosphere became a little strange, and Rhodes could feel the temperature on his cheek rising slightly.
It's definitely not a good idea to look at a girl you like but have no relationship with yet.
The two of them looked away awkwardly, not knowing for a moment whether to stop or go.
"Sister Mira! Brother Rod!"
They came at just the right time, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Romeo?" Mira recognized this child who often went to the guild to play. "Are you going out to play alone?"
Rhodes knew this kid. He was Macao's son. He was only five years old this year. He usually liked to play with Natsu and Habi.
During the period when the news about Rhodes' 'strongest newcomer' was popular, Romeo also admired him a little, but he still couldn't compare with Natsu.
"Yes." Romeo nodded and asked, "Sister Mira, is Brother Natsu in the guild?"
"Natsu and Happy have gone out to work. They will probably be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Mira saw Romeo's disappointed expression and said, "Your father is in the guild, you can go find him."
Romeo shook his head: "Dad has daddy things to do, so you can't pester him all the time.
I'm going to go play with other friends, see you sister Mira, see you brother Rod!"
"Goodbye." Rhodes and Mira waved to him, but they couldn't bear to tell him that Macao was just drinking in the guild.
But Romeo himself should also know what his father is like. Maybe in his eyes now, that's what adults should do.
Rhodes said: "Romeo seems to be proud that his father is the wizard of Fairy Tail."
"Yes, it's the opposite of Wakaba's daughter." Mira recalled hearing Wakaba complain about things at home a few days ago, "Wakaba doesn't seem to be liked by his daughter, and he has been quarreling with his wife recently."
"He's really not good at handling family relationships." Rhodes recalled that he and Mira happened to help ease the situation in the past.
The two chatted about the gossip in the guild, and unknowingly arrived at the restaurant Mira mentioned.
The cuisine here is really diverse, Rhodes realized this again.
The two just ordered braised chicken with chestnuts, cumin mushrooms, corn with pine nuts, clams in original sauce, fried meat with green peppers, and a lotus root and pork ribs soup.
Although the sign, name, and decoration are all common in this world, this is actually a Chinese restaurant!
Because she always eats in the guild, Mira is relatively familiar with Rhode's usual eating habits and taste preferences.
No wonder she said Rhodes might like it here.
"What's wrong?" Mira smiled, and Rhode's surprised expression was quite interesting.
Rhodes looked at her: "It's a bit of a surprise, um, thank you."
"Ah la ah la, it seems I guessed it right." Mira blinked her left eye slightly, looking a little playful.
Rhodes hopes she will know that random discharge of electricity is against the rules.
It was late autumn, so the two of them ordered some seasonal vegetables, which tasted quite delicious.
Coupled with the good cooking skills of the chef in this restaurant and his mood, Rod enjoyed the meal very happily.
"Slow down, I won't compete with you."
Mira filled a small bowl of soup and pushed it in front of Rhodes. She was used to seeing him immersed in eating.
These dishes don’t look difficult to learn. Do you want to try them next time?
Just wait a little longer.
After a while, both of them stopped using their chopsticks and each held a small soup bowl and talked.
A masked man with a cloak and a staff passed by outside the store. When he noticed the two of them, he suddenly flicked his cloak and disappeared like a phantom.
Rhodes hesitated and said: "That person..."
Mira said: "It's Mystergan."
Rhodes complained: "If it's so tightly covered, why do you use sleep magic every time you come to the guild?"
This guy was overly cautious. Not only was he wearing a hood and mask, but his arms and calves were also wrapped in bandages. He looked like he had been seriously injured.
"Just to be on the safe side." Mira blinked, "I thought you could understand."
"How is it possible to understand...Am I being classified as one of the weirdos by you?"
"It's not me who is dividing, it's everyone." Mira smiled, "And even if you are a weirdo, you are a reliable weirdo."
"... Let's talk about Mist Gang. Does he always take on difficult missions?"
Rhodes knew that Mira had not personally handed over to Mist Gang, but she had the mission record.
And if you like gossip so much, you will definitely pay extra attention.
"No, there are more ordinary tasks." Sure enough, Mira knew. She thought about it and said, "Sometimes he takes on some tasks that are far away, but the pay is not high for him. It feels like he is deliberately trying to do it.
It’s like going far away.”
Rhodes guessed: "Is he a person who likes to travel? He wants to take advantage of the mission to travel around the country or something."
Mira shook her head gently: "But after the festival, when you and Gray were away, he seemed to have been near Magnolia, and there was no pattern at all."
"Has he ever teamed up with anyone?"
"Not at all. I've always been a loner."
"It feels like there is some big secret hidden there." Rhodes felt that such a mysterious figure would not wander around aimlessly.
Maybe he was looking for someone important through the mission just like Natsu.
If you pay more attention to strange things around the city recently, you may be able to discover something.
But the idea of traveling around the country just now is very good...
If he gets stronger, maybe he can do that, go on a trip through a mission, and invite Mira to form a permanent team or something.
