Chapter 114: I Have a Million Plans
Rhodes was so absorbed in his studies that he missed the big event of posting the results of the "Miss Fairy Tail Contest" at the guild. Fortunately, he already knew the outcome in advance.
First place was, of course, Mira, who took home the 500,000 J prize. Second place went to Erza, who put on quite a show, though some people seemed to enjoy the thrill. Surprisingly, third place went to Cana, as it seemed quite a few spectators couldn't forget the drunk beauty who didn't display any magic.
However, these rankings weren't all that important since there were no prizes beyond first place. It just gave everyone something to talk about.
By the time Rhodes left the library, everyone had already gone home. Mira and Elfman were just about to lock up.
Warm was panting with his tongue out, following at their feet, but when he saw Rhodes, he ran over excitedly. At least he remembered who his master was.
Elfman asked, "So you were still here. Didn't sis say you had a mission?"
Rhodes replied, "Yeah, I was doing some research. We're leaving tomorrow morning."
"Mission..." Mira thought for a moment before simply saying, "Be careful."
"Don't worry, it's just an investigation, nothing too major." Rhodes patted his chest, making a thumping noise.
Mira knew it was the sound of the magic books inside and couldn't help but laugh. This guy really made people feel at ease.
The three walked together for a short while before parting ways at a fork in the road. Elfman said, "Sis, even Rhodes has gone off to work, so I should find a suitable mission for myself tomorrow too."
