Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash

"Protect?"

"Just like my sister used that power to protect us, it will be our turn to protect my sister in the future."

The scene at that time was still vivid in my mind, but the person who said this was no longer there.

The power that the child longed for to protect her was also gone.

Mira stretched out a hand, smooth and white, but not as pleasing to the eye as the 'devil's arm' at that time.

Buzz~

Rod was surprised to see patches of light flashing across Mira's body.

That was the precursor to the activation of the receiving magic.

But those lights flashed by, Mira's face turned a little pale, and her body fell softly to the side.

"Mira!" Rhodes lifted the receiving magic, gently embraced her, and asked with concern, "Why did you suddenly use the receiving magic?"

Mira forced a smile and said, "Sure enough, I still can't do it."

Looking at her like this, not only can't use the receiving magic, but even her magic power has completely declined.

Magic is the power of the heart, you have to believe in it...

Rod wanted to repeat what the president said, but the words turned into:

"Don't force yourself, let's go over there and sit for a while?"

It's still far from the agreed restaurant, but fortunately, when Rod just used the Swift Crab form, he noticed a cafe through the panoramic vision.

It's good to take a break.

Rod used the receiving magic too frequently today, and now he is a little tired.

The large amount of magic power consumption made Mira a little unstable, and she had to let Rod help her walk into the cafe.

In the eyes of others, it was similar to those intimate young couples.

But in this situation, Rod couldn't be happy.

"Welcome!"

"Please help me find a quiet place."

"Please come here."

Under the guidance of the waiter, the two sat in the corner and ordered some drinks casually.

Mira was a little depressed: "Sorry to trouble you suddenly."

"I have been bothering you all the time. No..." Rhode cleared his throat and tried to imitate the broadcasting tone,

"It is my honor to serve Miss Mira. Please feel free to trouble me.

Well, would it be more considerate to say it this way?"

Mira forced a smile: "When did you learn these from Loki?"

Rhode looked regretful: "Hey, I was looking forward to learning a few tricks from him, but unfortunately he ran away when he saw me."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Hibiki thought about instilling this kind of knowledge into you."

"When?!" Rhode was shocked. Did we miss some treasure?

Mira thought for a moment, "It was the day I helped you learn the common language...

By the way, you couldn't understand what he was saying at that time, so the president helped you reject it."

Rod was "sorry" and complained a little exaggeratedly, "Why did the president do this to me!

Is it too late for me to go to Mr. Hibiki to ask for after-sales service now?"

Mira finally laughed, "But the blue Pegasus is far away."

"It's a small matter." Rhode was unmoved.

"Maybe you have to charge me separately."

"It doesn't matter." Rhode was unmoved.

"It will be a headache."

"Forget it." Rhode immediately broke down,

"It's not fun to force a lot of knowledge into your head.

If I have to choose now, I will definitely choose to study with Teacher Mira for a few more months."

Alas, why did I have to rush to get the language pack? It was so stupid. I despise my past self.

Mira didn't respond. She was not sure whether Rhode meant what she thought.

I was worried that I guessed right, and I was worried that I thought too much.

"Your coffee."

The waiter always came on time.

Rhode didn't think so, so he added sugar, sugar, and more sugar.

"Too much?"

"I like it sweeter, how much do you want?"

"One piece is enough, too much will make you fat."

Rhode didn't understand why Mira would have such troubles. Can't we wizards eat slimming mushrooms?

Mira slowly stirred the coffee cup with a small spoon:

"You haven't told me the details of your last mission."

This matter is half public and half private.

In public, it is reasonable for Rhode to report the general process of completing the mission to the guild.

Some rigid guilds may even require a report. It's just that Fairy Tail doesn't have so many rules, and it doesn't matter if the process is not reported at all.

In private, Mira was a little curious about what Rhode meant by something unexpected on the way.

In this case, whether to say more or less depends on whether both parties have time and whether they want to tell Mira.

So, Rhode chose to start from leaving the guild gate.

When talking about Natsu setting fire to the farmland to kill a few wild boars, Mira smiled and said, "It's worthy of him."

When talking about Rod sending the stone beetle to follow Natsu to dig the firebreak, Mira said, "As expected of you."

But when talking about the Beast King, Mira's expression began to become a little unnatural.

Rod also hesitated whether to talk about it, but when he remembered the conversation with the president that day, he decided to continue.

Beast King - life and death crisis - receiving - losing reason - crazy destruction...

Mira grabbed her left arm with her right hand. Such a similar story almost made her doubt whether Rod made it up.

Rod gritted his teeth and finished the part where Natsu woke up Chita.

"Really? He... He woke up, so good." Mira was happy for Chita's family from the bottom of her heart.

But every time I recall that scene, and think of Lisanna standing in front of me, sadness and regret will surge up.

Mira also raised her left hand to hug herself, and her body couldn't stop shaking.

Rhode didn't bring a coat this time, he chose to go around the table and sit next to Mira.

His hands were slightly raised and then dropped immediately, raised and dropped as if they were heavy.

Rhode was not Loki or Hibiki after all, so he couldn't hug them lightly.

He patted Mira's back gently: "Can you tell me about Lisanna?"

Mira whispered: "Do you know it already?"

"I heard a little bit, she is a cute girl, a little weak?"

"No! That child is not weak at all! Lisanna..."

Mira stopped talking in time after realizing that something was wrong.

But the sudden increase in the tone attracted a few eyes, and Rhode stood up and raised one hand to apologize to them.

"Sorry, I'm not..."

"I know, it's because I misunderstood Lisanna?" Rod said,

"I should apologize, what kind of person is that child?"

Mira's trembling slowly stopped, and her thoughts drifted from that painful night to the distant past:

"Lisanna is a strong child, she has been since she was a child, when the people in the village regarded her as a demon, she always argued for me..."

Listening to Mira's soft narration, Rod's hanging heart was slightly relieved.

The pain of losing a loved one sometimes makes people feel that their whole person is broken.

This will not completely disappear for a very long time, or even for the rest of their lives.

All we can do is try to accept it, try to overcome negative emotions, and then rebuild ourselves bit by bit.

Pain is a process of recovery.

When she is willing to talk about the deceased with others, it is the best start for recovery.

Rod didn't know whether Chita's story resonated with Mira, or whether Mira had been relieved in the past year.

Or maybe his "misunderstanding" of Lisanna briefly aroused Mira's heart to protect her sister.

In short, the plan to heal Mira's soul, which he had been struggling with for a long time, finally had a start.
