My mother's love song

"Well……"

Haruli frowned and Rhodes smiled.

“Just kidding, maybe the goddess left a blessing on me, which is why it turned out like this.

Humbaba is very obedient to the goddess, right? I think she must have sensed the power she left behind from me, which is why she regained her sanity and calmed down. "

"Is it really just like that?" the girl asked suspiciously.

Rhodes nodded: "Yeah, that's it."

"Ok."

Although it was a little hard for Haluri to accept, she still agreed with what he said.

"Anyway, thank you very much. If you weren't here, the consequences would be disastrous.

As expected, I am not mature enough to be the chief priest of Lady Inanna."

The girl smiled brightly and said to the boy, "Let's work hard together from now on... Oh, by the way. I just remembered that I haven't asked your name yet."

Rhode said: "Just call me junior like before."

Haruli said, "Well, I understand. Let's work hard together, juniors."

"Yes, senior!"

The two sat on the edge of the cliff, watching from afar the giant steel beast with seven-colored seven-layer light wheels constantly leveling the land and building the temple.

"Speaking of which... Senior seems to have a deep knowledge of lightning."

Rhodes looked at Humbaba's iron body thoughtfully.

“I’ve wanted to ask this before, why does Humbaba have this robot posture?

Is it because she manifested in the 21st century? Or did you use some strange catalyst when you summoned her?"

Haruli touched the ends of her golden hair somewhat embarrassedly.

"Well, Lady Inanna also asked me this question... I originally wanted to summon Berserker Edison, so I used a tungsten filament bulb produced by Mazda Company as a catalyst, and this is what happened."

Rhodes thought about it and said to himself with a little understanding: "Is that so? Is it a disaster that human civilization has learned how to use electricity and gunpowder?

Because of the catalyst you provided, she must have made adjustments in this direction."

It is impossible to summon the giant monster of Mesopotamia using a light bulb as a catalyst. The real catalyst in this summoning is the girl herself.

Humbaba is the embodiment of disaster for mankind.

She will adjust her spiritual base to different forms of disasters according to the Master's requirements.

Her current posture may be affected by the light bulb offered by the summoning circle.

“But why Berserker Edison?

Putting aside the question of the strength of modern Heroic Spirits, Senior is a mere magus, but you intend to use the [product of modern civilization] as a weapon that you can rely on?"

After Rhode said this, Haruli suddenly spoke in a gloomy voice.

"I hate the world of magic."

"Uh."

The girl said with a bitter smile: "Youngster, I am actually broken, and it was destroyed by the people in the clock tower..."

Rod: Ah, are we going to enter the sad reminiscence phase? No.

“My parents were just ordinary magicians.

But... after my parents inherited the research results left by my grandfather who gave up his human identity, the group of people in the association just wanted to take it away, so they arbitrarily regarded them as heretics and finally plundered everything!"

"Well...it's always common for the Clock Tower to usurp the efforts of others."

Although Rod did not take away other people's research results when he was in London, he took away someone's fiancée.

Haruli bit her lip and said, "So I swear to take revenge on the magic society that declared my father a heretic and took away everything from my family.

With this wish in mind, I participated in the Holy Grail War. Was that a bit too extreme?"

Rhode shook his head. "No, it's perfectly legitimate. I wish all revenge in the world could be treated gently."

After he said this, Haruli smiled and said, "Pfft, junior... you seem to be a little too extreme."

Next, the girl told the story of her time as the goddess's follower.

"I met Lady Inanna during the Holy Grail War."

Appointed by Inanna as the chief priest, he and Humbaba work together to open up the goddess garden in modern times.

In order to protect the New Ishtar Temple, he and the Bull of Heaven will face off against all the enemies of the Holy Grail War.

Finally, when Inanna was shot down and defeated by humans, the goddess used the last of her magic power to send her to the sky boat and entrusted her with the final life of Humbaba.

After only a few days of dating, the goddess suddenly gave the magician girl the protection of the high priestess.

Neither as a human nor as a magician, she is an outstanding being, but precisely because of this, Inanna treats Haruli purely as one of the humans living in the present.

The goddess Inanna, with her motherly love, influenced and eliminated the human's desire for revenge and gave her the courage to move towards a new life. This is probably what Haruli wanted to express.

No wonder Haruli is so devoted to Inanna.

After telling her story about her journey in the original world, the girl let out a long sigh and felt extremely relaxed.

"Youngster, by the way...that..."

Haruli's face suddenly turned red, and she hesitated and twisted her slender body.

Seeing her strange look, Rhodes immediately understood.

"I understand. Don't tell Goddess Inanna about Humbaba's rampage just now, right?"

The girl nodded shyly: "Well...if you can keep it a secret, that would be great..."

"What secret?"

A beautiful voice came from behind.

Rhodes and Haruli looked at the same time, and saw four women in different attire appearing behind them and walking towards them.

They were led by the ancient goddess Inanna, who had silver hair, red eyes, white skin, a gorgeous appearance that could burn the eyes, and was wearing a high-end designer dress. There were Asagami Fujino, Ningjigal, and another goddess.

A priestess called the great god Phanes and her concubines descended here.

"Lady Inanna! Ahh! You're back!"

Haruli let out a sound that almost sounded like a scream while kneeling down respectfully before the silver-haired Venus goddess.

"Oh, Haruli, you're here... huh?"

Inanna noticed Rhodes beside her.

"Have you met each other already? How was it, did you get along well?"

"Yes, my senior and I..."

Rhodes was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt his body falling.

Kneeling on one knee, Haruli secretly pulled his trouser leg and kept winking at him.

What are you doing standing there? Get down on your knees!

The girl with the blonde bow nervously mouthed this.

"Oh...oh oh..."

Rhodes followed her example and knelt on one knee respectfully facing Inanna.

The witches and goddesses stood there in a daze: "?"

"Uh…what are you doing?"

Inanna walked over and stared at the young man who was bending down towards her, speechless for a moment.

"……………………"

Ningigal and the cloaked goddess cast a look of mixed anger and murderous intent at the back of her head, making Inanna's scalp tingle.

The Sun Goddess of the Underworld angrily asked, "Inanna[i]! What is going on!?"

"I do not know either!"

Inanna asked inexplicably: "Is this a new type of bullying? Or some kind of Play?"

Just as Rhodes was about to speak, Haruli answered first with a trembling tone.

"Please, please forgive me! Lady Inanna! It's my fault for not disciplining the juniors! If you want to punish me, then...please punish me!"

Inanna frowned, "Junior? No, what are you talking about?"

“Ah… no, no!”

Haruli stammered and shook her head.

Inanna crossed her arms and asked unhappily, "So what is going on here? Someone come and explain it to me!"

“… Ugh!!!!”

Haruli felt the dense magic power surging around Inanna. It was the first time she saw the angry goddess Venus. She no longer dared to speak and buried her head in silence.

clap clap.

The clapping broke the deadlock.

Rhodes stood up from the ground and said with a smile: "Sorry, the joke was too much."

"Huh? Junior?"

Haruli looked at Rhodes in confusion.

"I'm so sorry for lying to you just now, but I mean no harm, and I definitely don't have any intention of making fun of you."

"What do you mean by cheated on me?"

Rhode cleared his throat and said, "It's a little late to introduce myself. I am..."

pat.

The goddess wearing a cloak and a hood, standing behind the Goddess of Heaven and Earth, pounced on Rhodes at an incredible speed and hugged him tightly.

"Eh? What's going on? Lady Divine Concubine? What are you doing?"

Looking at the hooded goddess who buried her head in the boy's chest, Haruli was confused and at a loss.

W-What's going on!?

Why would a goddess of equal status to Lady Inanna act like a spoiled child in the arms of a junior?

The next person to come over was Asagami Fujino, an oriental lady who was the same age as Haruli but several levels ahead of her in terms of physical development and shrine maiden qualities.

The black hair draped straight down her back glowed a seductive purple, and the plump and luxurious body wrapped in a super-high-end kimono exuded calmness and intelligence, dignified and fragile, pure and devilish...

It was as if she was a priestess of God who embodied all the sexual fantasies of men, and she came before Rhodes in a solemn and respectful manner.

Asagami Fujino bowed deeply and solemnly to the young man, and knelt down without caring at all that the priceless silk would be stained with dirty mud.

"Varied……"

Haruli opened her mouth wide as she watched this scene.

All I heard was the great god's priestess softly calling out the boy's name.

"The Light of Origin is the Father who created all things, both physical and mental.

A heretic god who rules over the sky and the earth, eternity and the end of time.

The great dragon that came from the other side of the sea of ​​stars, the ruler of time, space and destiny, the ultimate god of destruction who creates and maintains, destroys and regenerates.

A rebellious hero who is ferocious and majestic, yet like a pitiful little child, with eyes that can see through the myriad colors of the universe, the sun and the red moon are both in your heart.

You are more noble than any other being in the universe, and you are worthy of all our loyalty and worship, the glorious king."

"..."

After calming down, Rhodes frowned and thought for a while, then gave his evaluation with a smile.

"Well, it's still too long!"

Asami Fujino lowered his head and smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, the original Master Phanes."
