Chapter 306: Holding You in My Hands
The so-called "strongest team" departed the morning of the second day of the guild masters' meeting.
As expected, Makarov had spent the entire meeting sound asleep.
But that was fine, anything important, Rhodes had written down. Later, he would summarize it and report to the Master in full.
If a situation arose where someone needed to speak on behalf of Fairy Tail, Rhodes would smoothly step in and claim it was Makarov's idea all along.
Bringing Rhodes along had been the best decision Makarov ever made, and he would probably keep praising himself for it even in his dreams.
The morning passed without incident, and soon Makarov was eagerly anticipating his favorite part of the day: lunch.
He was looking forward to good food, a bit of wine, and bragging to the other guild masters, just like always.
But today... something changed.
Right at the peak of the lunchtime bustle, a small bird with a pointy wizard's hat flew into the banquet hall, clutching a letter in its claws.
"Chi~ President! A letter from Miss Mirajane for you," the magical bird chirped.
"Huh?" Makarov blinked drowsily. His brain wasn't fully awake yet.
