My mother's love song

"…Rod? Where have you been?"

Rod grabbed the phone and said in a panic: "I've been kidnapped, and the kidnappers are asking me to call home and ask for a ransom from you. Their request is..."

"Rod."

Aika Sajo interrupted Rod's nonsense.

"Yes."

"Be sure to keep warm when you are outside and call home more often when you have time," said Ai Ge.

Rhodes was silent for a moment and then replied.

"Ah."

"That's good~"

Rhode thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that... Aige knew it from the beginning?"

Aozaki Aoko set up a barrier at the door of her house, blocking her from doing anything for several days.

That's why Ai Ge asked her to go out and get the New Year's cards.

No, not only that... I'm afraid Ai Ge also knew that although Rod acted very leisurely during the New Year at home, he was actually so bored that he couldn't sit still.

She knew it all.

"Hehe...what is Rod talking about?"

From the other end of the line came Sajo Aika's clear laughter, like the sound of a bell.

"I see. That's all right then. Thank you, Aige."

In the distance, after Aozaki Aoko paid the bill, she began to urge Rod. He exchanged a few simple last words with Ai Ge and hung up the phone.

"How is it? Did your family agree?" Qingzi asked with a smile, hooking her arms around Rhodes' neck.

"Let's go. Don't keep Youzhu waiting too long... The sooner we go, the sooner we can resolve the incident."

"Oh, you're full of energy."

"toot toot"

In front of the entrance door of the Sajo family, Aige stood silently in front of the phone.

Although the only sound she heard was a busy tone, she was still hesitant to put the receiver back.

Round and round, the girl played with the telephone cord with her slender fingers.

Her beautiful, transparent light blue eyes were filled with light, as if she was still immersed in the phone call with the boy.

"Hehehe... How could Mom not know about Rhodes's affairs?"

……

……

……

Unlike the cosmopolitan metropolis of Tokyo and the vibrant medium-sized city of Fuyuki, Misaki is a slow-paced city.

Until fifteen years ago, this area was covered with fields and forests.

Fifteen years later, Misaki Town has been completely transformed into a modern city.

Below the slowly winding road are streets packed with houses of all kinds and filled with people.

In the past, only abandoned factories could be seen here, but now both the east and west sides have been replaced by complex buildings containing huge shopping malls.

The young boys and girls living here enjoy the benefits brought by modernization while yearning for a more prosperous Tokyo.

When Aoko was a junior high school student, she was actually one of those people.

She plans to live in Tokyo when she graduates from middle school.

While working part-time in a bar with the goal of attending a national university, he was cautiously pursuing his dream of becoming a musician.

But the girl's little wish was shattered because her sister suddenly ran away from home that year.

"...Looking back... my life has been filled with disasters like this."

Driving a shabby van in the cold winter of the first month of the year, Aozaki Aoko rolled down the window and exhaled white hot air.

At the end of the road, there is a haunted house located on a hill.

A luxurious house of over 1,000 square meters, a spacious courtyard surrounding the main building, and a functional gender pavilion.

The courtyard is surrounded by a tall iron fence covered with lush vines.

Just by looking at it from the city a few kilometers away, you can feel its luxurious and classical appearance, and the rumor that it was airlifted from the UK may be true.

There is nothing you can do about being surrounded by all kinds of rumors.

It would be out of tune with the people in the town, and building an unnatural mansion on a hill would definitely cause annoyance to others.

Rumors spread that a witch lived in the mansion.

That is the destination of Rod and Aoko's trip, the home of Arizuma Kuonji.

“I’ve been driving all night, so I’m going to catch up on some sleep.

Youzhu should be up by now, Rhode, just let her entertain you, that way you will be happier, right?"

Aoko yawned as she inserted the copper key into the keyhole and pushed open the luxurious and heavy door with one hand.

"Hey, why are you so irresponsible?"

Rhodes complained as he followed her pace and walked into the Kuonji Residence.

Just like the weather outside, the inside of the house was also a gray, cloudy color.

However, this cannot conceal the luxury and elegance of the villa itself.

Although the Sajo family is already very large, it is dwarfed by the Kuonji family.

There was a staircase leading to the second floor, a fireplace that had not been used for a long time, and a telephone placed casually aside.

The huge clock alone records the time. This place looks more like an ancient city than a Western-style house.

"Oh, Yuzu is up after all... We're back!"

Aoko led the boy straight to the living room. As soon as he entered the room, Rhodes saw the fairy tale witch lady sitting on the sofa like a painting.

The delicate beauty and thick, pure black hair could be mistaken for an Oriental doll.

Delicate hands and feet and fair skin that has never seen the sun.

The black home sweater and brown patterned skirt complement her slender figure perfectly.

"Qingzi, you are particularly noisy today"

Kuonji Yuzu raised her head and became speechless the moment she discovered the third person.

The black eyeballs and the slender hand holding the red teacup trembled at the same time, staring at Rhodes' face.

"I brought Rod back. Did anything happen to Misaki these days?"

Aoko asked in a good mood while taking off her shirt.

"why."

Youzhu stood up from the sofa and came behind Qingzi, who had her back to her.

"Qingzi, why is Rhodes here?"

"Ah, think about it...Since Sister Orange has found so many reinforcements, we can't show weakness here..."

"What a joke."

Then, Yuzu grabbed the collar of Aoko's sweater.

Her lovely face now transformed into a stern, reprimanding expression.

"I told you not to let Rhodes get involved in this kind of thing!"

Chapter 112 ~Mixed Bath~

The atmosphere in the living room of the Kuonji family was extremely stiff.

The icy beauty, having lost her usual composure, grabbed the front of Aoko's sweater and glared at her.

"Qingzi, why do you want to involve Rhodes in our affairs?"

Intense emotions were hidden in the girl's black pearl-like pupils.

It is often said that the more introverted a person is, the more explosive they become when they are angry.

However, the beads of Kuonji Temple are different.

Even when she was extremely angry, she remained as calm as a clear spring.

Only people who knew her well, like Rhodes and Qingzi, could understand how intense Yuzu's feelings were right now.

"...Uh, sorry. I thought that with your friendship with Rhode, he would definitely help with this, so I brought him here without telling you..."

Aozaki Aoko finally regretted her reckless behavior.

Although they had lived together for many years in the past, her relationship with Youzhu was ultimately just that of ordinary friends and cohabitants.

Silence returned to the living room.

Not only Qingzi, Youzhu also felt a little regretful about his attitude after he calmed down.

At this moment, a hand was placed on her slender arm that was holding Aoko's collar.

"Although Qingzi was wrong to find me without telling you, Yuju's attitude is still too much."

"..."

Youzhu felt a little impulsive. She looked at Qingzi with a pitiful look, then turned to Rhodes.

"Long time no see, Yuju."

"Well, long time no see, Rod-kun."

Kuonji Yuju smiled slightly.

……

……

……

Under Rhodes's lead, Youzhu lowered her head and sat back on the sofa, while Qingzi sat next to her.

Rhodes sat on the guest sofa, sipping tea, crossing his legs and observing the two of them.

Compared with her appearance in "Magical Night", the 21-year-old Aozaki Aoko looks a little more mature.

Although she still exudes a pure aura, compared to her JK period, even Aoko has become a bit more stable.

Qingzi had grown considerably at the age of 16. Now she seemed to be even taller than before. Her two round and plump breasts wrapped in a sweater caught Rhodes' attention.

On the other hand, the 21-year-old Kuonji Yuzu has the same vibe as the 16-year-old witch from "Magical Night".

Still so lovable, yet so distant from others.

As for appearance, there is absolutely no difference.

She is truly the last witch who has lived in seclusion in the modern world. It is as if time has stopped for her.

Rhodes couldn't help but think that in 50 or 100 years, Youzhu would still look the same as she does now.

"But I won't allow him to stay here."

Before the boy's butt could even warm up and he had just taken his second sip of tea, the eldest lady of the mansion made her decision.

"Mr. Luo, you didn't get a good rest last night.

Go to the guest room and take a nap. I will drive you back to Tokyo at noon and I will go to the Sajo family to apologize."

By the way, like the Kuonji family, the mistress of the Sajō family is a deceased witch, so Arizuma and Aika actually know each other.

Qingzi's eyes widened. "Hey? Wait, wait! Youzhu, what are you talking about? Didn't you just promise Rhodes to stay?"

"I never promised Rod that he could stay." Youzhu said ruthlessly without even looking at her.
