Chapter 424 Gajeel gets beaten
In the early morning, the sun was covered by some white clouds, and only a light spot that was not too dazzling could be seen.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the bright but not hot sunshine shone in the cemetery and fell on the three people.
The cemetery is behind the Cartier Cathedral, and Lisanna's tomb is an inconspicuous one here.
There have been a few showers recently, but Lisanna's tomb doesn't look dirty.
"Lisanna, we are here to see you." Mira squatted in front of the tomb and spoke softly, "You don't know yet, the guild was just rebuilt a while ago, but it is still as lively as before. Everyone is in high spirits - of course
Me and Elfman too."
Mira talked in detail about a lot of big and small things that happened recently, even telling Lisanna about the pajama party she went to the girls' dormitory a few days ago.
When talking about interesting things, Mira would laugh softly, as if she were really chatting with Lisanna.
Smiling in front of a relative's grave is not disrespectful to her rather sad expression. Lisanna in another world would probably also want to see her sister and brother happy.
Mira also wanted to believe that Lisanna could see and hear.
"Then——·There is one more important thing I want to tell you."
A beautiful pale pink color appeared on Mira's face. She stood up and took Rod's arm. "This is Rod. I came to see you before. He——- proposed to me last week."
The two looked at each other and bent down together to place flowers in front of the tomb.
There was no need for Rhodes to say anything, Mira herself explained everything about the subsequent wedding plan.
After saying everything she needed to say, Mira looked at the tombstone and was silent for a while.
Finally, she reached out and touched the name on it, with a smile on her face: "Sister will work hard to make herself happy, and of course she will take good care of Elfman, so——————You should also work hard over there, don't worry about us
oh."
"Then - that's all for today. I'll see you next time."
It was time to leave after all. Mira took Rhode's hand. Rhode waved goodbye to Lisanna, and then held Mira's little hand with both hands.
Mira smiled at him, conveying with her eyes that she no longer needed any more comfort.
"Let's go, Elfman."
Elfman stood still: "You go ahead, sister, I want to be alone with Lisanna for a while."
Mira looked at Elfman and remembered that he didn't seem to say much just now. My brother is old, is there something he can't even tell his sister?
"Okay, remember to come back early."
"I see."
Elfman watched the two people leave the cemetery, and only knelt down quietly when they could no longer be seen.
I brushed away the non-existent dust with my hand.
"Hey, Lisanna, my sister didn't lie just now. She is really getting married. The sister we were all worried about wouldn't be able to get married..."
He looked back guiltily, and then continued: "And it's not coercion, and I didn't deliberately hide what happened in the past——Although my sister has changed a lot, it's still a bit unbelievable..."
"And that Rod... a man!"
Elfman simply sat down cross-legged in front of the tomb and talked a lot to his sister alone.
Rhodes and Mira didn't wait for him specially. It was already the end of the month and there were still things waiting for them to do in the guild.
On the way back, Mira bought a newspaper and handed it to Rod: "Here, I forgot to buy it this morning."
Rhodes has the habit of paying attention to the news every day, which he developed while supplementing his common sense about the world.
He glanced at it casually, but he didn't expect that today's headline was "Heartfilia Group went bankrupt, and its leader, Jade, is missing."
"Lucy's house?" Rhodes felt incredible.
The last time I saw the news that Heartfilia Group was in financial difficulty was a week ago. I didn't expect it to go bankrupt so quickly.
How could such a large railway group go bankrupt just because it said it was bankrupt, and the person in charge was still missing?
"What's wrong?" Mira didn't even look carefully just now.
"Something happened at Lucy's house." Rhodes stopped and gave her the newspaper.
"How could it be?" Mira glanced through it quickly and said worriedly, "Lucy may not know yet. Go back and tell her quickly."
Although Lucy said that she had broken away from her family, it was her father after all. If his whereabouts were unknown,
I have to look for it no matter what.
But before they could return to the guild, they met an acquaintance staggering over.
"Gajeel?"
"How did it get like this?"
I saw that his hair was disheveled, his dusty clothes were somewhat damaged, there was a little blood on his forehead and corners of his mouth, and there were some bruises on his arms.
It looked like he was having a big fight with someone.
Rhodes' first reaction was that Natsu came to the guild to fight with him today. However, even though Natsu was a bit messy, he should only get a bruise at most, and it would not be bloody.
Gajeel raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, then walked around them and continued walking forward.
"Hey, what happened?" Rhodes still wanted to ask whether it was for Gajeel or the guild.
Even if it was for a personal reason, Gajeel was now a member of the guild recognized by the old man, so he couldn't just ignore it.
But Gajeel didn't seem to want them to interfere, so he said without looking back: "It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it!"
The two looked at each other, so they had to go back to the guild to ask.
The atmosphere in the guild is no different from before, except that the most noisy guys are not there.
Even Lucy isn't in the guild.
Others were noisy when they should be, drinking when they should, and chatting when they should. The president jumped off the counter the moment he saw the two people coming back, and ran upstairs furtively.
It looked like he had stolen some wine.
This actually made Rhodes feel a little relieved. Nothing major happened.
He first went to look at the mission records.
""Looking for a magic classroom teacher responsible for instructing children", the person in charge——Gajeel?"
Rhodes carefully read the name of the recipient several times. Gajeel is the teacher? He always felt that something was wrong with the style of painting.
It looked like he had just set out, so he couldn't be beaten by his parents for being unreliable.
When I showed the record to Mira, she was also confused and couldn't figure out the reason.
But Lebby sat over hesitantly and said, "Sister Mira, Rod, we just met Laxus. Lebby looked worried and not in a good mood.
Mira asked: "Laxus? Did he say something outrageous again?"
Lebby whispered: "Laxus hit Gajeel very hard."
It turned out to be him! Rhodes and Mira finally knew where Gajeel's injuries came from.
But didn't he say he didn't care what happened to the guild? Why did Hao suddenly do something to Gajeel?
Chapter completed!
