Rod made it back to the counter alive.

Mira asked with a smile: "How was it? Erza's hug."

Rhodes rubbed his forehead: "...as solid as a rock."

"Ah, I can't tell whether you used the wrong word or whether you were stating the facts." Mira covered her mouth, unable to hide the smile in her eyes.

"Why does she always wear armor?" Rhodes thought, if Erza didn't wear armor today...

It might be a little embarrassing, but at least it won't give you a headache.

"Erza has been like this since she was a child. Except for bathing and sleeping, the armor is almost never left behind."

Mira's movement of wiping the table slowed down, "Maybe...it's because of uneasiness."

"Can someone as strong as her feel uneasy?"

Rhodes always thought that he was the most uneasy. Before he learned magic well, he might not even dare to leave the city of Magnolia.

"This kind of thing depends on the heart and has nothing to do with strength." Mira grabbed her left arm with her right hand, and her expression became sad.

"Many of our Fairy Tail companions are burdened with heavy things, trauma, pain, hardship..."

"Even me... no, even Rhodes... I will never forget the confusion and panic in your eyes when we first met."

"..." Rhodes looked into Mira's eyes, and what was revealed in her light blue pupils was not teasing or ridicule, nor the usual bad taste when watching a show, but... a kind of sadness that she felt.

Has she... ever experienced panic to the point of being overwhelmed?

Or, as she said, is it more pain and trauma?

"I don't want to leave that impression on you, although it's true that I'm not very strong."

Rhodes said this, and then abruptly changed the subject, "Isn't the president not here today?"

"Yes." Mira regained her composure, "The president is writing a letter of apology on the second floor."

"Oh." Rhodes responded absently, then realized something was wrong, "A letter of apology? Is the president writing a review? Who is he going to report to?"

"Of course it's the Council." When talking about this kind of thing, Mira finally smiled again, "Because Gray was complained about 'sexual harassment'."

"How could Gray..."

Rhodes subconsciously wanted to retort that Gray couldn't be this kind of person, but considering that person's stripping fetish, it didn't seem impossible.

"So he really did it?"

"Of course there was no substantive action." Mira smiled. "He just accidentally took off all his clothes when he was escorting a certain city official's carriage."

Rhodes glanced at Gray, who was currently chatting with someone wearing only a pair of big underpants. It was him as expected.

"The client's wife and daughter were both in that car." Mira seemed to be gloating again.

"If Gray hadn't defeated a group of robbers on the way and perfectly protected them, it wouldn't have been as simple as filing a complaint in the end."

"Then why is the president writing it for him?" Rhodes felt a little sorry for the president. The old man took good care of him, but he actually wanted to take the blame for Gray.

"Because Gray is a member of the guild, all his actions during the execution of the commission represent the guild."

"That's why the guild has to deal with the aftermath and apology. Of course, it's also up to the guild president to decide how to teach Gray a lesson afterwards."

Mira looked at the second floor with soft eyes, "The president is like a father to everyone, especially to the homeless children."

"A responsible parent..." Rhodes looked yearning.

"The same goes for you, Rhodes... huh?"

Rhodes failed to hear Mira's last words clearly and suddenly felt a little dazed, closing his eyes and falling down.

Mira quickly supported Rhodes, but then she herself fell down.

"It's strange, I suddenly feel so sleepy."

After the two of them, everyone eating, drinking and laughing in the tavern also fell down one after another, some lying on the table, and some falling directly to the ground.

Worm, who had played with Hubby for some time, was also lying on his back on the table, exposing his heart-shaped belly.

"This feeling...is it the Mist Gang..." Erza persisted for a few more seconds, and finally fell asleep on the table.

Even Makarov, who was on the second floor, was shaking his body slightly, feeling a little sleepy.

The president jumped over the railing and jumped downstairs: "How long are you going to keep doing this?"

A man wearing a black turban, black cloak, and a hijab wrapped around his face strode in.

"Sorry, I will apologize to everyone when I get the chance."

He went to the bulletin board to pick out a task list, handed it to the president for confirmation, and then immediately turned around and left.

"Really, hurry up and unlock the magic."

"learn."

The moment Mistergang stepped out of the guild gate, his figure disappeared as if erased by an eraser.

At the same time, everyone who was sleeping in the guild suddenly woke up.

"Damn it! Is it Mist Gang?"

"That guy, the sleep magic is still so exaggerated."

Everyone complained, and Natsu chased him out the door: "Mistagon! Come and fight me! Damn that guy, he does this every time!"

"..." As soon as Rhode woke up, he found himself lying on the floor, his chest still a little heavy.

"Sorry, I'll get up right now." Mira stood up gently, not forgetting to reach out to give Rhode a hand.

"I wanted to give you a hand, but I didn't expect it was Mistgun's sleep magic."

"..." Rhode held her hand and stood up, his eyes dull.

"It's okay, Rhodes. This is the guild. Mistergang is a partner. He has no ill intentions."

Mira's tone soothed Rhodes' emotions gently. She felt the other's hands become cold and sweat oozed out of the palms.

This is a sign of extreme anxiety. Would the sudden sleep magic scare him to this extent?

Mira held Rhodes' right hand with both hands, hoping that he could calm down.

Rhodes pursed his lips and gently pulled his hand back into a fist: "I know, I'm fine."

Of course there is something wrong. Without any defense, suddenly losing consciousness and having no power to resist, this is a very terrifying thing for Rhodes.

The heart that has been slightly settled down because of the joyful and lively atmosphere in the guild these days is suddenly hanging again.

——There should still be many terrible things in this world that I don't understand.

Mistergang is a companion, but there should also be people as powerful as Mistergang who are enemies, right?

Rhodes took a few deep breaths to try to calm his heartbeat.

Worm seemed to feel something and ran back to hug Rhodes' calf.

The reassuring warmth came from Worm's heart-shaped belly, and Rhodes leaned over and hugged it.

The soft Poro actually gave Rhodes a sense of security.

All fears come from the unknown and weakness. He lifted Worm up and looked at him. If you feel uneasy, just work hard to become stronger.

What's more, there are cheats.

Is there any cool summoning words for me to copy? I don't want to use the Star Spirit magic all the time.
