Chapter 236: Oh No, She Might Know How Beautiful She Is
Chapter 236: Oh No, She Might Know How Beautiful She Is
Mistguard's hypnotic magic might have had a little issue.
Everyone woke up when he lifted the spell, except for Rod and Mira, who were still fast asleep, leaning against each other.
It seemed that everyone else was just pretending to be hypnotized, but these two were genuinely tired.
After the tavern returned to its usual bustling atmosphere, everyone felt like something was missing.
It wasn't until someone like Laki, who was feeling short-handed, came over that they noticed the two deeply asleep individuals.
"They've gotten this close, huh."
"What happened, what happened?"
"Let me see!"
Many idle people crowded over, with the girls generally inclined to gossip and root for the couple. The boys, on the other hand, had a lot of emotional moments.
The detestable Rod, is he really pretending to sleep? Is he taking advantage of the situation?
Wait and see, as soon as Mira wakes up and her first reaction is a scream, everyone will gang up and give Rod a good thrashing.
Makarov came down from upstairs and waved his hand, "Alright, don't crowd around here. Let them rest for a while."
He looked at the accounts on the counter that still hadn't been settled and the task sheets that hadn't been organized—these two kids really do work hard.
Unfortunately, the self-Reflection letter must be written by the Guild Master.
Makarov suddenly felt a bit guilty.
However, recently, Rod's number of tasks has been quite high, and his strength has improved rapidly. He should have a good chance in this year's S-Class Exam.
After a while, Mira woke up.
She didn't scream or immediately push Rod away. Instead, she first checked if he was pretending to sleep before waking him up.
A wave of sighs swept through the guild, "Laki, a round of beers!"
Chug chug chug...
Rod rubbed his eyes and woke up, feeling that this time the sensation of the sleep magic was a bit different.
Mira also felt the atmosphere was a bit off, "Guild Master, how long have we been asleep?"
"Less than an hour," Makarov smiled, "Did you sleep well?"
Mira didn't bother to answer the Guild Master's question, "What about everyone else?"
Makarov thought for a moment, "Two minutes?"
Mira's face turned red. That would mean, in front of everyone, she...
Makarov laughed, "Don't worry, I wrote down all the tasks everyone took during this time."
That's not the issue!
After Rod woke up and thought calmly for a few seconds, the situation seemed like jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't clear things up.
But it's fine, it doesn't need to be cleared up anyway.
Today was still a pleasant day.
After returning to the guild, training should also get back on track.
However, Mira banned some activities that might affect the injuries, so the extra time could be allocated to meditation and exploring the Summoner's Rift.
Today, the Summoner's Rift had some new changes. The three Void Nest Worms in the Dragon Pit were positioned differently from usual.
The three worms were closer to the edge of the pit, leaving the center open.
A purple glow was brewing in the center, as if something big was about to emerge.
All Rod could do was continue to monitor this and work on increasing his magic power.
In the evening, when he returned home, everything was as neat and spotless as always, except for the lack of a female presence, everything was perfect.
But he was worried that Mira might be too tired.
He couldn't just go and get the key back.
Maybe he should find some time to help her with a thorough cleaning as a way to return the favor?
"Worm, what do you think?"
Worm looked puzzled, "Snore?"
"Great, thanks for the support!"
"Huh?" Worm looked confused, what did it support?
...
Time quickly passed into late March.
Today was the day Rod and Mira had planned to go on a flower-viewing picnic.
The two of them still worked as usual in the morning, only going out to buy groceries after finishing their tasks.
This kind of thing was in Mira's domain, and Rod was just an unfeeling bodyguard and bag carrier.
Of course, he had the right to suggest what he wanted to eat.
Worm didn't go out because Happy was treating it to a meal.
Perhaps to thank Worm for the fish it usually gets, Happy, with its newfound wealth, immediately thought of treating Worm.
However, Rod's expenses on Worm's meals hadn't decreased at all these past few days.
The little guy was getting hungrier and hungrier.
Luckily, everyone enjoyed feeding it; otherwise, Rod might have gone broke before he got rich.
"Should we buy some strawberries?"
"Sure, I also want some pineapple."
"Then let's get some pineapple too. We should also buy some beef; I want to make a beef pizza."
"Beef sounds good; I like beef."
The two of them discussed what to buy, and the bags in Rod's hands gradually increased.
Although they often went out to shop together for the guild, doing so for their own lunch felt different and more intimate.
Especially when Rod took out the money and Mira tried to haggle, he felt as if they were suddenly living a small, cozy life.
Once all the ingredients were prepared, they went to Mira's house.
It was the first time Rod entered her kitchen, which was very clean but showed signs of frequent use.
His intention was to help with the preparation, washing vegetables, peeling potatoes, and so on, but he was soon pushed out by Mira.
"There are drinks in the fridge, snacks and magazines on the coffee table. Help yourself and wait a moment."
Mira spoke gently, not mentioning his terrible cooking skills.
Rod felt a bit ashamed and didn't want to cause her any more trouble.
People have different talents. Some can follow a recipe and make delicious food, while others can peel a potato and end up with only a quarter of it left.
Rod's cooking wasn't as bad as that, but compared to Mira, he was like a Worm.
A qualified taste tester.
Before they left, Mira changed into a different outfit.
A blouse with ruffled sleeves, a short skirt, and a pair of high-heeled ankle boots. Her bangs fell naturally over her forehead, and she wore a floral head accessory.
Although winter had just passed, mages could always be a bit more carefree with their clothing.
Because the style was quite different from usual, Rod, waiting for her outside, almost didn't recognize her.
Mira slung the basket over her arm and tilted her head slightly, "What's wrong?"
Is she asking knowingly? Rod decided to be honest, "You look too beautiful."
Mira's eyes sparkled with a smile, and she tugged at his sleeve, "Let's go."
She changed clothes because cooking would make her clothes smell, not because she wanted to hear him compliment her.
Rod naturally took the basket from her, and they walked side by side toward the south.
"I said I'd help, but you did everything yourself."
"Yeah, so should I punish you a bit?"
Rod thought for a moment, "Hmm... how about I carry you to the park as punishment?"
"Hmph, carrying me out is a punishment?"
Oops, she seems to know how attractive she is. Rod quickly changed his answer, "Then how about I can only look but not eat later?"
Mira rolled her eyes, "If I punish you by only letting you look and not eat, won't all my efforts be wasted?"
After a month of regular routines, things are getting a bit messy again. I'll need to adjust.
