Chapter 357: Accidentally Helping the Master Make a Decision
Saying "a hundred years" was easy.
In reality, both Rhodes and Mira were starving, so they had no choice but to pause the moment and find something to eat.
As they walked, Rhodes noticed something else. Mira's hair wasn't quite the same as before. It seemed rougher, likely damaged during the battle.
She had already trimmed off the scorched ends herself, but it left the overall look a bit uneven, less natural than usual.
'Did I hit Jose too hard...?'
Rhodes made a mental note to ask one of Lucy's Celestial Spirit to help Mira take care of it and trim it properly.
After they finished eating, they ordered the last of the supplies: paint. On the way back to the guild, they also stopped at several of the stores that had been damaged during the battle to apologize and offer compensation.
To their surprise, the shopkeepers were extremely understanding. They told them not to worry about paying right away and even asked if Fairy Tail needed help with rebuilding or how the injured members were doing.
Fairy Tail's reputation in Magnolia was still strong, built on years of bonds, protection, and good faith.
Rhodes and Mira gratefully left compensation behind anyway, refusing to take their kindness for granted.
Rhodes could have paid the full amount on his own. He had more than enough, and the guild would reimburse him soon anyway. But Mira insisted on covering half.
