My mother's love song

"Hey! Who are you? We don't welcome outsiders here!"

A fairy from the Fang Clan frowned and walked towards Rhodes and Mary.

"Ah, you've come just in time. I want to ask you something..."

The Flower Magician narrowed her eyes and gave him a sweet, kind, business-like smile.

"……oh oh."

Perhaps moved by Miss Dream Demon's peerless beauty that was beyond the law, the originally ferocious fairy also became docile, with its furry tail shaking wildly behind its butt.

"Is there... anything?"

Facing the fairy staring at her with lustful eyes, Meili said kindly: "Excuse me, where are all the people of the Mirror Clan living in this village going?"

"Hey, magician over there, get out of my way and move aside."

"……Um?"

The flower magician who was called turned his head and looked at Rhodes instinctively.

The next moment, a sword blade with a cold black glow shot out from the gap in the void beside Rhodes.

The black sword flew past Mary's cheek less than two centimeters away and pierced the forehead of the fairy in front of her.

“…Ugh!!!”

The goblin from the Fang Clan let out a scream, blood spurted out, and after falling to the ground, there was no movement.

"Hey? Hey? Hey hey hey hey hey!?"

Mary was stunned.

What is this doing?

"Wait, wait, Rod! I can understand your strong jealousy because I left you aside and chatted with other boys...

But killing people directly is too much! Are you Lord Tristan? "

"You're so long-winded. If it was Tristan, he would have killed you too."

Meili nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense... No! Don't kill people randomly... Isn't it impossible to investigate this way?

Isn't it common sense in TRPGs to ask the locals about the situation when you arrive in an unfamiliar place? "

The Flower Magician is right.

Although expressing her views from the perspective of a running group would make people seriously doubt her moral standards.

"Oh, oh... Everyone is coming here. This has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything..."

Mary retreated to Rhodes' side. Although she still held his arm, she was ready to distance herself from Rhodes at any time.

The incident happened suddenly, and the villagers didn't know what was going on. They just surrounded Rhodes and Mary without any precautions.

"Rod, please stop messing around..."

The female magician had just said half of her words when she turned around and discovered that the sky above the young man was stirring with the surge of magical power.

On Rhodes' face was a sadistic and evil smile.

Meili gasped: "...This guy is planning to kill us all! He has no intention of communicating with the other party at all!"

"Wait……"

The words blurted out subconsciously were still a little slow, and Rhodes whispered without changing his expression.

"Disappear."

With just these words, the space behind Rhodes began to distort with murderous intent, and hundreds of dark blades emerged.

Mary stared at the scene in amazement.

Each of the "black swords" summoned by Rhodes was a true holy sword of the star.

Although it was dyed black by the reversed magic power, as a teacher of the holy sword user, she would never mistake the noble starlight hidden in the blade.

And now, these mass-produced reverse holy swords are falling towards the fairies on the ground like dark rain falling from the sky.

"Uwaa ...

"Uhhhhhh! Aaaaaaaaahhhh!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

No matter if it was the Earth Clan, the Fang Clan, or the Wind Clan, they were all shot and killed equally in front of the [Demon Sword of Starry Night and Rain].

The goblins soon fell into panic. They fell down in groups like cut down reeds, and their screams and cries echoed over the village.

Soon, the Mirror Clan's village returned to peace.

Rhodes slaughtered all the goblins around him in a flash, looked around the square where corpses were scattered everywhere and blood was flowing like a river, and nodded with satisfaction.

This village is a place of important memories for me and everyone else. Anyone who sets foot in this holy land deserves death.

Rhode looked at the stunned Meli beside him and comforted her, "Don't worry, there are no survivors. No one will know that we killed someone."

"No, you are not the one... And it's not "we", it's "you"! You are a tyrant who is even worse than His Majesty Morgan!"

Meili squatted on the ground, hugged her knees, and hung her head in frustration: "What should I do now..."

At this moment, Mary suddenly found that the corpse in front of her suddenly trembled.

"Ok?"

She originally thought that this was an illusion caused by Rhode's anger, but

“…Gah!!”

The next moment, the goblin that was supposed to be a dead body jumped up and pounced on her with a bloody mouth.

"ah!"

Mary instinctively hugged her head, and suddenly felt a pain in her buttocks. By the time she reacted, she was thrown out like a cannonball.

“It hurts so much! It hurts so much!”

The female magician who was kicked away by Rhodes' football fell heavily to the ground and it took her a long time to get up with difficulty.

“Although I am very grateful that you saved my life, could you be a little gentler towards Lady?

If it was Morgan instead of me, you would never have done that, right? "

Because she landed on her face, Miss Meng Mo's beautiful face, which was like a work of art, was covered in mud, giving it a kind of immoral beauty.

She didn't even have the chance to tidy up her appearance before she saw the goblins that had been killed staggering to their feet.

The goblins, who had been dead for less than a minute, exuded a strong stench of decay, filthy white bones, and something that looked like flesh slightly attached to them.

Even if their hearts and brains were pierced by the magic sword, it seemed to have no effect. What was more important was that there was no more intelligence on the faces of the fairies, and their pupils were chaotic and lifeless.

"This, could it be... a zombie...?"

“No matter how you look at it, it’s still a ghoul… You’ve been too deeply influenced by modern pop culture.

Can you please stop using my and Altria's room to watch American movies all day long? "

The black-haired boy muttered as he walked towards the female magician.

In Type-Moon's classification, zombies are corpses controlled by magicians using necromancy. They are essentially a type of familiar, but are considered evil because the objects of magic are human corpses.

As for ghouls, they are a type of monster.

Ghouls encompass a wide range of categories, including evil monsters that appear in local legends, as well as ignorant and low-level followers that are formed by the blood of dead apostles.

Of course, there are some extremely special classifications that are also included in the category of ghouls, such as muscular monsters with four arms and vertically growing Venus flytrap-like jaws.

"..."

Meilidai frowned and murmured, "Rod, did you know from the beginning that these fairies had already..."

Hearing her say this, Rhodes' expression froze for a moment.

Then the boy gave the female magician a kind and friendly smile: "Yes, I knew they were ghouls a long time ago."

"...Absolutely not." Mary rolled her eyes.

But now is not the time to complain. The female magician staggered to her feet, leaning on her staff, and prepared to engage in battle.

Rhodes walked up to her and patted her shoulder: "I'll leave this to you."

"what?"

Mary blinked blankly at the boy.

Rhode turned his back to her, waved his hand and said, "I'll go to other places in the village to see if I can find any clues."

"……Well."

Mary froze.

Then, dozens of zombies cast their cloudy yellow eyes towards the female magician.

They made strange noises like "Gaa, Gaa, Gaa..." and surrounded her.

"Wait...wait, Rod, don't leave me alone! Incubi and irrational monsters like ghouls don't get along very well! Illusions have no effect on them!"

"Don't worry, if you are infected by a ghoul, I will free you."

Rhodes ignored the female magician's request for help and left the square.

Then, behind him came Mary's continuous screams and the sound of magic shells exploding on the ground.

……

……

……

V Bar Detective, take the case seriously!

After saying goodbye to Mary, Rhodes turned around and went into a house in the village.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by a long-lost sense of security.

The fairies of the Mirror Clan have lived an ascetic life for thousands of years, so the interior furnishings are very simple.

The empty room was very clean and free of dust, and there was a quiet atmosphere.

But no matter what the furnishings in the room were, Rhodes's eyes had already been deeply attracted by another thing deep in the room.

On the bed in the room, there was a sleeping beauty lying.

With long silver hair and cute facial features, she was a member of the Mirror Clan that Rhodes had embraced in his fairy history.

The girl lay on the bed. There was neither pain nor happiness on her beautiful sleeping face. Only the steadily rising and falling chest proved her existence.

Although there are scary zombies roaming around just across the wall, this place is as peaceful as a fairy tale world.

"..."

Rod came to the bedside and stroked her cheek tenderly with nostalgia.

Of course, even after doing this, the girl did not wake up.

　After making sure that she was fine and not hurt in any way, Rhodes covered the girl with a blanket and went to the next house.

The same scene was seen in the other house.

The goblin of the Mirror Clan lay quietly on the bed, like Snow White waiting for the prince to arrive.

The same goes for the third room.

A room without any signs of intrusion, and a girl sleeping peacefully like the Rose Princess.

There is no need to go to the next house to investigate. I am afraid that all the goblins in the whole village have fallen into some kind of deep sleep.

Rod came to this conclusion arbitrarily, and at this moment, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the bedside table.

On the bedside table next to the girl's sleeping pillow, there was a statue with a somewhat strange shape.

"…What is this, some kind of amulet?"

Rhodes frowned slightly.

As far as he knew, there was no concept of religion in the fairy kingdom.

And it wasn't just this one. In the two rooms just now, Rhodes seemed to have seen similar religious objects.
