Chapter 386: By the Sea
Chapter 386: By the Sea
In this lifetime, Rod has already committed himself to Mira, and he will never develop feelings for another woman.
At most, he will only occasionally and unintentionally catch a glimpse of Lucy when she, due to some unavoidable circumstances, treats the brothers as outsiders.
At this moment, Rod is hesitant to swear to the heavens, as the sky here can suddenly darken without any warning.
He quickly changes the topic, "By the way, what about your girlfriends? If they can't see you, they might come to the guild and cause a scene."
"I'll talk to them about it later," Loki says, having just put Lucy down, and immediately snuggles up next to her again, "How about saying that I've met a girl I truly want to protect for the rest of my life?"
"Absolutely not!" Lucy has no desire to be entangled by those girls again, "You should leave now! You can't stay here for too long."
"Then I'll be off. I need to rest for a while before I can come back. Goodbye!"
Loki waves his hand, and his body transforms into a golden vortex, disappearing from sight.
After staying in the human world for three years and almost dissipating, he indeed needs a little more time to rest in the Star Spirit Realm.
Rod hands the vacation coupon to Mira, "Should we move up the vacation plan?"
"Sure." Mira is a little excited, "It's the middle of the month, and the renovation will be finished in a couple of days. There's no problem if we go out for a bit."
"Should we all go together?" Lucy asks excitedly as she runs off, "I'll go find Natsu right now!"
"Then we should head back and prepare too." Rod grabs Mira's arm and slips away, "Guild Master, see you in a few days!"
"Yeah, have fun." Makarov watches the kids leave with a hearty laugh, thinking that after all their hard work, it's not a bad idea to go out and have some fun.
Even if Natsu and Gray go, with Rod, Mira, and Erza keeping an eye on them, they probably won't cause any trouble.
The only thing the guild needs to do is to assign...
Hmm? Makarov raises a hand, curling his fingers to count, Rod, Mira, Erza...
Cold sweat breaks out on his forehead, something is wrong. Did Loki just say that Erza is coming too?! The old man leans to the side and falls from the counter, "Wait, wait a minute! Let me think about this..."
Waiting is impossible, Rod quickly heads home, packs the necessary luggage, and then picks up Mira to meet up with the others.
The original plan was for the two of them to go out, but it's also rare for everyone to go out and have fun together.
The only thing Rod is worried about is, "I hope Natsu won't cause trouble when we're having the most fun."
Mira smiles and says, "Don't worry, we still have Erza with us."
As they speak of Erza, they run into her on their way to the station.
At this moment, she is already wearing a floral shirt, a sun hat, and a life jacket around her waist, with her luggage cart in tow.
In addition to the large boxes below, she has also brought along a blanket, a sun umbrella, a folding chair, and even a shovel and other miscellaneous items.
"You're a little too enthusiastic, aren't you?" Rod temporarily takes over Lucy's role of complaining, "We still have to take a train for several hours to get to the beach."
"This is only natural. Even on vacation, I must give it my all!" Erza is especially serious, "Right, Mira?"
"Yes, yes~" Mira smiles, not refuting her at all, "Erza is right. I wonder if the three of them are ready."
Erza clenches her fist, "For such an important matter, they better not dawdle."
"Is this also part of your plan, Demoness?" Rod feels that Mira is deliberately bringing them up to cause trouble.
"Huh? I don't know what you're talking about." Mira smiles coyly, tilting her head slightly.
Rod had no issues with this. Natsu and Gray were to blame for being late, and if Erza scolded them, it was their fault for being late. It had nothing to do with Mira.
...
Initially, Natsu wanted to ride Crab, but Erza refused.
She said it was a punishment for his tardiness and a way to train Natsu. Perhaps, with more train rides, he wouldn't get motion sickness anymore.
Happy wanted to explain that their residence was outside the city, so it was normal to be a little late.
But since Natsu was being punished, and he wasn't, Happy decided to let it go.
Gray didn't bother to speak up for Natsu, and Lucy poked Natsu's face playfully, enjoying his discomfort.
Natsu whined.
Amidst laughter and chatter, they arrived at their destination, Arcane Beach.
As summer approached, the beach became a bustling tourist hotspot, which was why Rod couldn't get tickets.
The vast blue sea stretched to the horizon, seamlessly blending with the clear blue sky, making it almost impossible to discern where the sea ended and the sky began.
The spacious beach was already filled with numerous tourists, and the scattered umbrellas resembled flowers blooming along the coastline.
As they admired the beach's beauty, they entered the hotel, collecting the keys to their respective rooms.
After entering his room, Rod breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the six tickets didn't correspond to a single large bed, or he would have snatched Lucy's key and dragged that guy out for a beating.
There were six rooms in total, one each for Natsu, Happy, Gray, Erza, and Lucy, leaving Rod to share a room with Mira.
That was his initial plan, but Mira locked him out.
It was fine for the two of them to be alone, but with so many people around, it was awkward for Mira to share a room with him.
Moreover, why did Happy need a separate room? He was obviously up to no good.
Rod had no choice but to return to his room and change into a floral shirt, loose shorts, and flip-flops.
As he stepped out, he felt like he was intruding, and using transformation magic to change would have been more convenient.
Soon after, Natsu emerged, wearing beach shorts and accompanied by Happy, while Gray... well, he came out bare-bottomed.
Natsu loudly mocked Gray, and Rod patted his forehead, feeling his eyes burn.
However, when Mira's room door opened a crack, Rod immediately kicked Gray back into the room, shouting, "Put on some clothes before coming out!"
Mira changed into a dark blue swimsuit. The top consisted of two pieces of fabric connected by metal rings, barely holding up under the pressure, as if they might tear at any moment.
The bottom appeared to be casually wrapped with a small piece of cloth, hanging loosely, revealing her slender legs boldly to the air.
As soon as she stepped out, Rod's gaze was transfixed.
Mira seemed pleased with his reaction, gently spinning around, turning her back to Rod, and leaning forward slightly with her hands behind her back. "Well?"
Well? What else could he say? Rod wanted to tell her not to use the technique of taking swimsuit photos of her, but on the other hand, he also wanted to ask for more.
He hesitated, finally saying, "You look so good that I can't find the right words to describe it."
Natsu placed his hands behind his head and tilted his head. "I think it's pretty ordinary."
Rod ignored Natsu; he didn't understand anything.
