Chapter 24 Surprise in the magazine
"It's this kind of advertisement again. It's very annoying."
Lucky's attitude towards this kind of advertisement is similar to how Rod used to treat the software's opening screen advertisement. It was new at first, but after seeing it too much, he became disgusted.
She said mysteriously: "If you turn a few more pages, there will be a surprise~"
"Surprise?" Rhodes turned back as he was told. The column behind the advertisement was the news column he wanted to see.
The surprise Lucky was talking about was obviously not this, but Rhodes still glanced at it.
"The boyfriend of the popular actress of Ryder Entertainment Company is exposed"
It was said to be an exposure, but it was actually just a photo of the two of them from behind. Rhodes didn't know the popular actress, but he just thought that the rumored boyfriend looked like a certain handsome guy in the guild.
"The council decided to step up efforts to crack down on the Dark Guild."
It was like an official article, but it had nothing to do with Rhodes - he asked in a roundabout way whether Fairy Tail was really not the Dark Guild.
"The Fairy Tail Wizards wiped out the Bandit Bandits in one fell swoop"
The title is normal, but there seems to be a sentence in the content: 'The bandits were extremely ferocious, and the fighting was so fierce that the pine forests on the mountainside were burned to ashes.'
Lucky said it was a magazine from a few weeks ago, and Rod didn't even bother to guess who did it.
After flipping through the news column, Rhodes finally saw the surprise Lucky mentioned.
"This, this, this...this is not..."
Isn't this Mira? Her iconic white hair, her hairstyle is the same as now, with her bangs tied into a bunch and combed on top of her head.
The smile was different from what he had seen before, a little more charming than usual.
The key point is that in the photo, Mila is wearing a sea blue swimsuit, standing naturally on a beach, keeping one hand holding her hair.
There isn't much fabric on the upper body, so Rhodes wouldn't be able to tell whether it was underwear or not.
Even if you try hard to look away from the gravitational place, you will still be attracted by the smooth shoulders and delicate collarbone.
The lower body is a long skirt with high slits, or simply a large piece of cloth tied up in a random knot and hung diagonally on the waist and hips, showing off a waist that can be envied by countless girls.
Mila's right leg was completely covered by the long skirt, while her left leg was exposed to the air through the slit of the long skirt.
——For the first time, Rhodes learned that Mira's coat of arms was white and was printed on the side of her left thigh.
"It's beautiful, isn't it? Are you all stunned?"
"Hmm...huh?" Rhodes nodded subconsciously at first, then felt something was wrong and shook his head in the negative.
But I still feel something is wrong, saying that Mira is not beautiful is really against my will.
"Really?" Lucky looked regretful,
"I have the weekly Soshala from the past year, and more than twenty of them have photos of Sister Mira... Do you really not want to see it, Rhodes?"
"No..." Shame drove Rhodes to say no, but he always felt that he would regret it if he refused.
He looked troubled: "I just want to borrow the magazine to learn more about the situation here. When you ask me this, it feels weird whether I borrow it or not!"
"Hahaha..." Lucky couldn't help but laugh, covering her waist with one hand and slapping the counter with the other, "Same as what Kana said, Rod's reaction was so interesting!"
He is different from Natsu, who is completely clueless, and he is also different from the shameless perverted uncles like Macao and Wakaba.
Only someone like Rhodes who knows what he needs to know but is very shy is interesting to tease.
"Kana..." Rhodes thought of that alcoholic 'bad woman'...
Although Mira said she was a good person, Rhodes wanted to keep a small notebook.
Lucky laughed for a while, and finally stopped when Rhodes wanted to run away:
"Sister Mila started receiving invitations to be Soshala's special model last year, and she became very popular from the first photo shoot."
"Sister Mira has appeared on magazine covers more times than them." Lucky pointed to the boy band on the cover.
"Now, she should be the best cover girl among all the magicians in Fiore, and also the signature girl of our guild."
It turns out to be the sales girl...
Rhodes felt that he seemed to have figured out Mira's position: "Mira is also very powerful."
Fairy Tail is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Those who can fight like S-class magicians are particularly good at fighting, but those who can't fight like Mira are also particularly famous in other fields.
It seems that the reason why Fairy Tail has become one of the most famous guilds in the country is not just because of its outstanding ability to get into trouble.
…
Although he was slightly tweaked, Rhodes finally borrowed the magazine.
The price of the weekly salad is 300J.
It's about the equivalent of two glasses of the cheapest beer. If the magazine is a weekly, Rhodes can afford it.
It’s just that it’s a bit troublesome to buy previous issues of the magazine. It’s better to borrow someone else’s to read and then buy the next one yourself.
Lucky has promised to bring it over tomorrow. In her words, it is useless to leave it there anyway. If you make room for it, you can put one more collectible.
She seemed quite resentful of this magazine.
Because Soshala claims to introduce the latest high-quality magic products on the market, but her favorite torture device has never been seen in the magazine.
"Well, that's too much. It's simply false propaganda." For the sake of her borrowing his things, Rhodes decided to agree.
"That's right, false propaganda." Lucky, who received Rhode's "support", completely concluded that this was the publisher's fault, and clenched her fist.
"I'm going to sue them in this week's magazine opinion poll!"
Rhode looked at the other party's serious look and felt that he might have said the wrong thing:
"Well... how about you be more decisive?"
"Absolutely?" Lucky thought for a moment and nodded heavily, "Yes, absolutely, I want them to understand my attitude!"
Rhodes:......
Did I say the wrong thing again?——
"Well, I just gave it a try when I was invited by chance, and then it became hard to refuse."
Mira herself doesn't have much interest in being a model, but she doesn't have any objections.
After all, she and Elfman lost their biological sister last year, so for a long time, both of them were immersed in grief.
It's almost impossible to even do any of the magician's work.
If it weren't for the income from photo shoots and a little savings from the past, the siblings might be in debt like Rhodes.
It is precisely because of this that Mira does not want to refuse the magazine's invitation, even though she does not need this income very much now.
"Let's not mention these things for now, how is your practice, Rhodes?"
"It's okay. I feel like I can try to summon new wild monsters in a few days."
"Wild monster?"
Rhodes nodded: "Well, the collective name of my summons."
Is Poro considered a wild monster? It’s pretty much the same anyway.
"Then do you want to find someone to try in actual combat?"
"Actual combat? With whom?"
"Well..." Mira pointed her chin with her finger,
"You also know that there are many militants in the guild, just find one at random. If it's your first time, just choose the one you dislike the most."
Based on Mira's sinister character, Rhodes suspected that she was stirring up trouble.
But it doesn’t matter, it’s never good to practice alone. He pointed at a certain handsome guy in the pub,
"Of course he is the one who looks the most unpleasant! Loki!"
"Ah?" Loki, who had just been fed a sip of wine by a beautiful woman not far away, raised his head in confusion.
Mirajane's photo...find it yourself, even the illustrations won't pass the review
