Fairy Tail: I Don't Want to Be the Guild Master

Although Makarov was grinning so wide it looked like his mouth might split, he still rejected the idea of holding a banquet.

He had important matters to take care of in the next few days, the training grounds needed remodeling, and he had to plan the updates in advance.

And then there was the issue of a Wizard Saint now emerging from among the S-Class Exam candidates...

That meant the exam format might need to change.

Even without an official banquet, Rhodes didn’t get off easy. The others still dragged him into celebration for a good while.

But as expected, once the commotion kicked off, these loveable lunatics quickly forgot who the party was for and just started causing chaos for its own sake.

Which allowed Rhodes to quietly slip away.

"You’ve worked hard," Mira said with a soft smile as she poured him a glass of water behind the guild bar.

Rhodes downed it in one gulp, then gave her a meaningful look. "Not just hard work... I’m also really hungry."

"Oh? You haven’t had lunch yet?" Mira immediately asked. "What would you like? I’ll cook it for you."

There were many things he wanted.

Rhodes locked eyes with her but didn’t say a word.
