My mother's love song

Although Takao Taifu did not know the meaning of this English word, he felt a special sense of sacredness from it.

Then she said something that left Kama next to her stunned.

"Sir, let me get this straight to the point. Are you willing to help me win the Ceremony of the Waxing Moon?"

"……What."

Kama opened her mouth wide, shocked by Takao Taifu's righteous desire to bribe the referee.

What are you thinking... This is impossible! You are being too straightforward!

On the other side, Rhode, who was sitting on the ground face to face with Takao Taifu, showed a curious expression.

"Oh? You clearly know that I am the judge of the Waxing Moon Ceremony, yet you still dare to make such a suggestion to me.

Takao Taifu, you are indeed the same woman as the rumors say."

"What do people outside Yoshiwara say about me?"

"People say you are a woman who is just as powerful and courageous as a man."

"Hehehe... That's hardly a compliment to a whore."

The lady narrowed her beautiful eyes, covered her mouth and smiled, "Sir Rod, you still prefer the gentle, obedient and considerate Yamato Nadeshiko, right?"

Rhode smiled meaningfully in response: "Unexpectedly, maybe I prefer women who are as strong and passionate as demons."

Kama's face was tense as he listened silently to the conversation between the two.

"Although you are the judge of the ceremony, but... as a Ruler, don't you have any wishes?

Since you have responded to the call of the full moon, Lord Rhodes should also have a wish. "

"No, one of the conditions for being summoned as a judge is to have no wishes.

Unfortunately, I didn’t make a wish to the waxing moon.”

Takao Taifu paused for a moment and said, "It's not that we don't have it, but you don't need it, right?"

Rhode showed an expression full of interest: "Oh? What do you mean?"

The Taifu said, “Judging from Kama-chan’s attitude towards you, you can easily defeat all the servants of the Waxing Moon Ceremony even if you don’t form an alliance with anyone.

In other words... the miracle of the waxing moon is nothing to you."

"Hey, what's going on~"

Rhodes remained silent, but at the same time he felt a little admiration for the woman.

As expected of Takao Taifu, just having a good appearance doesn't mean he can rule over a place like Yoshiwara where people are scheming and scheming against each other.

She might have realized that Rhode was an existence far beyond the framework of the Waxing Moon Ceremony.

The young man asked, "Taifu, do you want to form an alliance with me?"

The lady shook her head unexpectedly: “No, how can this be possible.

Even though I am a woman of little knowledge, I can understand that an equal relationship should be based on equal power. "

When she said this, she suddenly leaned forward, put her hands on the ground, and then slowly lowered her body.

The snow-white skin on the back of the neck exposed from the gap in the kimono is very sexy.

He pressed his forehead tightly against the tatami, showing great respect.

Takao Taifu showed absolute submission to Rod.

"Sir Rhodes, I hope to commit myself to you... As long as I can get your protection, I am willing to do anything for you."

"..."

Rather than an alliance based on an exchange of interests, the "deal" that Takao Taifu desires is to unilaterally gain the support of the other party.

For this, I don't mind sacrificing my body and dignity.

Rod & Kama: How shameless!

They shouted in their hearts at the same time.

Kama looked at the master sitting on the ground with disdain, but heard what Rhodes said.

"I cannot accept your proposal, Taifu."

The rejection was so cold and uncompromising that it even surprised Kama.

"........."

It was a long time after being rejected by Rhodes that Takao Taifu slowly raised his upper body and asked with a complicated expression.

"…Is it because I am just a dirty, wanton whore?"

Rhodes shook his head: "It is better to say that Taifu is full of charm in my opinion.

If there is a chance to spend a night with Taifu, I would not hesitate to spend a fortune."

Hearing the boy's words, Takao Taifu swept away his previous sadness and asked with a little secret joy.

"Haha, it turns out it's not that I'm not attractive enough... Then why?"

"It's because you're not sincere enough."

Rhodes said: "Also, there is no need to do things you are not good at.

You are not a woman who only knows how to depend on men and flatter them. "

"…………sorry."

Takao Taifu pursed his rosy lips and lowered his head to wipe away the tears that flowed from the corners of his eyes.

……

……

……

That night, Rod accepted Takao Taifu's invitation and stayed at Miura-ya for dinner.

"Hey~ So how much does it cost to have sex with the Taifu? I'll bring the money over tomorrow."

"ah!"

Takao Taifu cried out tenderly, covering half of her face with a folding fan, and said in a pretentious manner, "Go, go to bed... Lord Rhodes is really too vulgar! Please shut up!"

Kama ate his white rice silently, staring blankly at the two people who were performing crosstalk at the dining table as if jokingly.

"Huh? Why are you pretending to be so innocent? Tell me the number and spread your legs! Don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit!"

"Please forgive me, Lord Rhodes. This is not a matter of money. I already have a lover~"

"What? Where did this brat come from? Damn it! How dare you snatch the woman I like? You want to die, don't you?

Taifu, who is he? I'll find someone to break his legs!"

"Oh, that's him"

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the noisy Yoshiwara street shrouded in darkness outside the window.

It was a ferocious roar uttered by humans, like that of a wild beast.

Kama and Takao Taifu exchanged a quick glance.

"Is Berserker making a fuss?"

Rhodes didn't even look up, but just said it lightly.

Seeing this, Takao Taifu said with an embarrassed look.

"Although I have no intention of hiding anything from you, but... it seems that you have already known about Berserker's affairs.

One of the seven masterless servants summoned to this era by Yingyue, he is now serving as a bodyguard for our store. "

Rhodes put the tempura into his mouth and swallowed it slowly before saying, "Well, this is also within the scope of the rules of the Waxing Moon Ceremony. I won't blame you."

"It's really helpful that you say that."

Rhode said, "The Saber team should be fighting Berserker in Yoshiwara now. Is it okay for you not to entertain them?"

Takao Taifu smiled and said, "That's true. We can't let the thugs do whatever they want in Yoshiwara."

……

……

……

In the bustling Yoshiwara Road, there is a black giant over ten feet tall.

It was like a monster from mythology, with thick arms reminiscent of temple pillars and broad chest muscles like armor.

This rugged and unconventional giant has gorgeous green hair, bronze skin and unimaginable muscles with the hardness of steel.

According to the setting of the Waxing Moon Ritual, the Masterless Servants should be weaker than the regular Servants summoned by the Master, but

This was not at all evident on the giant.

The roar shook the earth and the magic power surged.

The giant simply waved his arms, and the wind pressure generated was enough to sweep away the debris on the street.

"Hey! Iori! Get out of my way! Do you want to die here?"

The one facing off against the giant was a beautiful young man in white, Saber.

In his hand he held a long sword reminiscent of a white snake, and with light steps he dodged Berserker's fierce attacks and looked for opportunities to counterattack.

As for Saber's Master, Miyamoto Iori, although he possesses the sword skills taught by the Sword Saint himself, he seems to be able to only play the role of restraining the enemy in this mythical battle.

Although it was an unfair 2-on-1 duel, Saber and her Master could not gain any advantage. The reason was simple: there was no tacit understanding between Saber's team.

"What a headache... That's why I told you to find a place to hide. I'll take care of this muscle tumbler!"

"No... no problem, I won't run away."

Facing Saber's loud complaints, Miyamoto Iori said firmly.

"At least I can protect myself and won't hold you back.

And Master Hongyu also said that my swordsmanship can also hurt Servants."

"Tsk... whatever you want."

Saber said nothing more and focused on the battle with Berserker again.

A dozen meters away from the battlefield, Rhodes, Takao Taifu, and Kama were watching the battle from afar.

"If we were to choose an ally, they would seem to be a good fit."

Rhode said to the Taifu beside him: "That Saber doesn't look like the type to betray her allies, and she's pretty easy to talk to."

"Saber's side?"

Takao Taifu asked in a somewhat strange tone, "In my opinion, the Master is easier to talk to.

Compared to Miss Saber, the Master seems to be more kind-hearted and is indeed a very suitable ally for the Ceremony of the Waxing Moon.

But unfortunately, I don't plan to invite Saber's Master.

After being rejected by Lord Rhodes, I am no longer interested in alliances. I want to win the Full Moon Ceremony with my own strength."

Rhodes said nothing and turned his back to her.

"Are you going back?" asked Takao Taifu.

The young man nodded: "I am an unshakable and fair judge. I can't spend my time only on you. I have to take care of other petitioners...

Or has the lady changed her mind and decided to keep me here to spend the night with her?"

"Please forgive me for refusing."

……

……

……

After saying goodbye to Kama, Rod left Yoshiwara.

The boy was walking in a narrow alley filled with moonlight when he suddenly felt a gaze directed at him.
