My mother's love song

The boy's tone was somewhat helpless: "I would like to know why."

Although she was shocked for a moment, she immediately regained her composure and said calmly, "So that's how it is..."

"There is nothing more important than human life in this world. You should think carefully before killing someone."

The boy stood at the end of the alley and said, "In the end, you will be the one who regrets it."

The girl who was lying on the ground and was about to surrender also heard the sound of a third party intervening.

Could it be that I was saved? Was he here to save me?

She couldn't help but think so.

On the other side, the girl who committed the crime seemed to be asking on her behalf. She stared at the boy and asked, "...Are you going to save her life?"

The boy, who hid half of his body in the darkness, shook his head calmly: “No, I don’t intend to interfere in your dispute.

You are the only one who can decide her life or death.

I just want to remind you that killing her is meaningless and would just be an escape."

"........."

She originally thought that a savior had appeared, but unexpectedly, the other party was just a bystander watching the fire from the other side of the river. The girl suddenly felt as if she had fallen into the abyss again and was completely hopeless.

"woo woo woo woo……"

There were soft sobbing sounds.

The crying sound made the murderous girl feel irritated. She frowned and fell into deep thought.

After more than ten extremely long seconds, she lowered her hands that were holding the weapon.

"Today, for your sake, I will spare her life and let her live one more day.

I will come back tomorrow night to take her life."

The boy smiled and said, "I told you not to worry about me. Just follow your own ideas and act accordingly."

"........."

The murderous girl ignored his words, bowed her head to the boy, slowly backed away, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

When the murderous aura that permeated the dark alley completely disappeared, Rhodes walked out from the corner and came to the side of the dying girl lying on the ground.

He knelt on one knee and spoke to the bruised and battered girl lying in front of him.

“She’s gone. What are you going to do next?”

"........."

Even if you ask me what to do, I

The girl closed her eyes tightly, feeling upset and confused.

"Didn't that man say that he would come back to kill me tonight? There's no point in running away! I'm already dead! I'll be killed tonight!

You don't want to save my life! What on earth are you doing here? Can you please just leave me alone!"

The girl cried out in self-abandonment.

Rod reached out and grabbed her hand and turned it over.

Staring at her Command Seal, the boy said, "How pitiful... being dragged into the Holy Grail War. You must feel very helpless. I can understand how you feel."

"You don't understand at all! You don't understand my situation at all!"

"No, I understand."

Rhodes said with certainty for no reason.

"...!!!"

The girl opened her eyes and couldn't help but asked loudly: "What do you know?"

She was speechless halfway through her words.

The reason was that the girl's eyes fell on the boy in front of her.

"……what."

She half opened her mouth but could not utter a word.

When that handsome and heroic face was reflected in the girl's flame-colored pupils, her exhausted heart suddenly began to beat violently as if it had come back to life.

The long night is over.

The sun rises from the coastline, gradually illuminating the island country in the far east.

On this brand new morning, a love affair that made the girl forget the fear of death sprouted and blossomed passionately.

"…My name is Kiyohime. You saved my life, sir. Thank you very much."

……

……

……

In a noble mansion somewhere in the capital.

There was a young girl lying on the bed.

She has long, minty green hair and skin that's so pale it reminds you of porcelain.

On the beautiful face, which is upright, delicate and full of oriental charm, are a pair of amber eyes.

Although it can be seen that she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, the good education and pampered life make the girl look steady and dignified, and she exudes the charm of Yamato Nadeshiko from head to toe.

The girl with the Command Seal on the back of her hand calls herself Qingji.

"Are your parents not at home?" Rhodes asked, sitting on the bed.

"Well... they don't live in the capital. After the Holy Grail War was held, Caster asked me to dismiss the servants in the house. Now it's just the two of us."

The girl answered absentmindedly.

While speaking, she kept staring at the boy's face intently, and there seemed to be flames dancing in her beautiful eyes.

"Sir...thank you for saving my life."

"I didn't save your life, did I?"

Rhodes said: "I was going to leave you alone at that time, have you forgotten?"

"No...you saved me."

Qing Ji said firmly: "Even though you saved my life, I still spoke rudely to you, sir... Please forgive me! Please forgive me, Qing Ji!"

As the girl spoke, she excitedly stood up from the bed and tried to grab Rhodes' clothes, but was stopped by the latter.

"Okay, okay, I get it. Just leave it as it is. Don't move. Just lie still."

Rhodes stood up and said, "I'll go get some water and treat your burns later. You just lie here quietly first, understand?"

His tone was a bit condescending, but it was the only way to make her behave herself.

Kiyohime nodded obediently, "Yes, sir. Kiyohime understands."

"That's good"

Qing Ji grabbed Rhodes' sleeve.

"what happened?"

"Well, I am extremely honored... Could you please tell me your name, sir?"

"........."

Rhodes sighed and said helplessly.

"An Zhen. Just call me An Zhen."

Chapter 747 Checking Qingji's Body

Rhodes stayed at Qingji's house.

The room was very quiet in the early morning, but there was some noise outside, creating a perfectly peaceful atmosphere.

Qingji lay on her side on the bed, looking at the boy busy beside her with a happy face, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Lord Anzhen...Lord Anzhen...hehehe..."

Just saying the boy's name brings happiness to my mind.

Just looking at the boy's back makes my chest feel hot and itchy.

They had only just met for less than an hour.

Her understanding of him, at present, was limited to knowing his name.

But the girl was sure that she had met her destined person.

The moment she met the boy, Qingji felt that her life over the past fourteen years had existed only for this moment.

The Holy Grail War was long forgotten.

Love, only love.

I must have come into this world to become this person's lover.

You don't need a reason to fall in love with someone.

In the love story of Murasaki Shikibu, which Kiyohime likes to read, the heroine also fell in love the moment she saw the hero's glorious face.

This is fate, isn't it?

Thank you, Mr. Murasaki Shikibu!

"Lord Anzhen... hehe..."

"...Did you call me just now?"

When Rhode turned around and asked her, Qingji was whispering the name silently with a sweet smile.

"No... No, no! I'm sorry!"

Qingji's face suddenly turned red, and she hid the lower part of her cheeks in the sheets, shaking her head in a cute and timid manner.

"Is it."

Rhodes nodded, turned around and continued to prepare for the girl's treatment.

"Tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"Yes, yes... Lord Anzhen..."

Seeing that the boy had his back to her, Qingji became a little bolder. She quietly reached out from under the quilt and pinched the corner of his clothes.

It would be nice if Lady Anzhen could stay here forever... the girl thought secretly.

Time just flows by in peace.

After a while, Rhodes turned around and faced Qingji again.

"Lord Anzhen."

Qingji shouted timidly.

Rhodes glanced at the girl lying on the bed, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you are staying here obediently."

"Because it was Lord Anzhen's request." Qingji said with some credit.

"It's amazing."

Rod smiled and put his hand on Qingji's head.

The latter seemed to be frightened by the boy's sudden action. He was stunned at first, and then showed an expression of trepidation.

"Ah, sorry."

Rhode then recalled that he was living in the Heian period, and touching an unmarried woman's hair was too frivolous.

Thinking of this, he was about to withdraw his hand, but Qingji reacted faster, raised her arms, clamped the boy's wrists, and pressed his hands on her head.

"A-Ajin-sama! Please continue to caress Kiyohime!"
