Makao was injured, and Natsu and Lucy found him in a cave.

The two Vulcans were guarding part of the cave entrance that they had blocked with ice lumps.

These guys who look like gorillas seem to have high IQs.

After being found, Macao looked both happy and stunned when he saw Natsu and Crab.

Rhodes was a little scared when he saw this scene. This uncle actually overturned the car...

However, it would be nice to come back.

After confirming that Makao's life was not in danger, Natsu smiled and waved towards the crab's eyes.

Rhodes smiled: "This guy is quite careful in this regard."

When they came back, they walked a little slower in order to take care of Macao's injury.

After get off work in the evening, Rhodes temporarily put aside training and brought some medicine with him and planned to wait for them on their way back.

Mira naturally went with him.

On the way, she said hesitantly: "I have something to ask you."

Loved, kept safe, saved mom...

At this time, Rhodes still didn't do anything and asked honestly: "What?"

"Have you mentioned before that you would settle down in Magnolia?"

"Yes." Rhodes took her hand and squeezed it gently. This thought has become stronger in recent months.

Although I received a little shock today, life cannot stop because of fear of what is coming and I don’t know what it is.

"Can I ask how much you have saved?"

Rhodes blinked at her: "My wife checks the accounts?"

Mira wrinkled her nose at him: "Shameless."

Rhodes smiled: "Because there are several very high-paying tasks, the monthly salary (has been increased once), and the scattered small tasks that the two of us took together, the total is more than 400

Thousands of dollars."

There was nothing to hide. In fact, every income record of Rhodes passed through her hands, and she also saw her ordinary expenses.

If you really want to do the math, you can estimate a similar number.

Thinking of this, Rhodes suddenly had the idea that after getting married, he would need to find a way to make some extra money to hide his private money.

At that time, it was said that Worm's food expenses had increased.

"Why are you asking about this suddenly?"

"Actually... I still have a little savings." Mira gestured, "About this much."

"Ah?" Rhodes looked surprised, not because of the amount of her deposit, but because of the meaning of her words.

Is this purely to help him share the pressure, or is it urging him to propose quickly?

Seeing that Rhodes was a little confused, Mira explained: "Actually, I recently discovered that Elfman is also saving money, and I also quietly inquired about the prices of several houses and the rents nearby."

"I think he probably thinks that I will kick him out after..." Even Mira would feel shy when she said this word, and she jumped over directly, "Kick him out after..."

"Oh... he plans to move out on his own in the future. I hope he can stay. He would rather... save money and settle down again with me."

Rhodes understood, it was just that the two siblings were thinking about each other.

Mira hit Rhodes with her small fist:

"It was our first home in Magnolia, and there are so many memories we made with Lisanna. It would be such a shame to have Elfman move out."

Maybe this is my sister. Although she would cheat him, beat him, and be cruel to him normally, at times like this, she would think about him.

The most important thing is that Elfman is also thinking about his sister and quietly working hard for her.

"That's why I want to discuss it with you, we...we..." Mira hesitated, saying this was tantamount to saying 'I want to marry you'.

Although she was very bold when she confessed her love, the proposal was different, and...she only decided to discuss the matter with Rhodes after hearing what he said today. She didn't prepare flowers or rings.

Otherwise... hum.

"I understand." Rod hugged her, and his mind was already playing classic songs like Good Days and Good Luck on a loop.

Meeting Mira was his greatest luck.

"Let's work hard together for our family and our future life."

Mira thumped him in his arms several more times: "It's too cunning to say this."

"Then don't count 'that' today."

Rhodes considered going to the jewelry store with her some other time to investigate what kind of rings she liked.

On an ordinary night, without any romantic atmosphere, the two made an incredible agreement.

This may be regarded as romance, and in many cases it is the romance of ordinary people.

…

"Brother Rod, Sister Mira."

Romeo's little figure looked at the end of the street under the dim street lamp. There were tears in his eyes, and he tried to wipe them away when he saw the two of them.

Rhodes touched Romeo's head: "Don't worry, Natsu, Happy and Lucy have found your father."

"Really?"

"I confirmed with magic, they will be here soon."

The word magic was very convincing, and Romeo believed him immediately: "How is daddy?"

Rhodes used the disguise magic to take out the medicine box: "I'm a little injured, just bandage it and it'll be fine."

Romeo had the tendency to cry again. Before Mira could speak to comfort him, he was already comforting himself:

"It's very common for wizards to get injured. It's the greatest honor to be able to complete the task beautifully and come back safely with injuries. I don't want to cry. That's looking down on dad's efforts..."

Mira knelt down and wiped Romeo's face: "Does your father usually tell you this?"

"Well, is that really what dad said?"

Mira smiled and said: "Of course, and ordinary magicians can't say such handsome words. Your father is a very good magician."

"Yeah!" Romeo said with a big smile.

Rhodes thought of Romeo being laughed at by the children a few days ago.

‘As a father, there are some things that you have to maintain. You will understand me when you and Mira have children.’ That’s what Makao said at the time.

Romeo's smile made Rhodes understand a little bit.

However, he still felt that if it were him, he would have thought of other ways, such as educating children not to compare with these boring things?

Maybe he really has to wait until he becomes a father to understand.

Two big crabs carrying three people and a cat walked smoothly from a distance. In the shadows that ordinary people could not notice, the three wolves disappeared without a trace.

"Dad!" Romeo ran over, "Dad, I'm sorry, I shouldn't..."

Macao endured the pain and jumped down, hugging Romeo: "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"It doesn't matter...because I am the son of a wizard." Romeo glanced at Mira and Rhodes who were smiling behind him, "I am the son of an excellent wizard."

Macao felt warm in his heart, let go of his son, and showed the most handsome smile in Romeo's eyes:

"Next time you are laughed at by little devils, just say to them, 'Can your dad defeat 18 monsters?'"

"Um!"

I went to [White Pigeon Pigeon] and [I Love Xiaoyi] for interviews. I may update it later tonight.
