Chapter 376: Asking for leave? Makarov: No!
Everyone stayed up late in the spacious, brand-new guild hall. Even though the strongest team members were off on missions, the likes of Macao, Cana, and Loke were still around, and the atmosphere was bursting with laughter and energy.
Some townspeople, curious about the festivities, came by to celebrate for a bit. But once it got late, they waved their goodbyes and headed home. As much as they admired the spirit of Fairy Tail, they couldn't party with the same wild abandon as the wizards.
Rhodes, who had sworn not to get drunk again after the last time, still ended up completely wasted.
It was all thanks to some troublemakers in the crowd, namely, Macao and Wakaba, who made it their mission to get him drunk. Even Cana joined in with a whole barrel of booze.
"Come on! I'll drink a barrel, and you drink a glass. Cheers!"
What could he do? Rhodes was just too happy tonight to say no.
In the end, everyone collapsed all over the guild floor. With no furniture in place yet, the open space was perfect for crashing out.
Mira helped Rhodes sit against the wall. He clung to her tightly and slurred, "Why're you totally fine...?"
"I'm a little dizzy," Mira said, casually twirling a lock of his hair between her fingers.
"Why're you so drunk?" Rhodes reached for her hand, missed twice, and finally gave up.
Mira caught his hand and chuckled, speaking in a mock-serious voice like she was scolding a child. "I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm a demon." She bared her teeth playfully. "Scared yet?"
