My mother's love song

Qingzi said nothing.

Letting Rod put a collar on me meant that I voluntarily became his property.

You could say she's a pet, or a puppy... or maybe she's his woman?

Woo... Doesn't this idiot Rhodes understand the meaning of this?

Qingzi remained sideways and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

What surprised her was that the handsome boy had a very serious expression on his face.

Unlike himself just now, there was no trace of joking on Rhodes' face now.

"..."

Staring at Rhode's face, her heart was beating wildly as if it had gone out of control.

Stupid Rod, Stupid Rod, Stupid Rod...!!!

Qingzi, who kept cursing in her heart, nodded slowly and shyly.

"...If you insist, I'll let you wear it... Well, I don't mean anything else, don't think too much, okay?"

"Okay~~"

As he spoke, Rhodes gently pushed aside Qingzi's long hair and put his hands around her slender white neck.

"……Um"

With the girl's slight hum, the pitch-black collar was fixed on her neck.

"hiss."

Rhodes took a breath.

The feeling of conquest brought by putting a collar on a girl like Aoko who is as free as the wind is simply unimaginable.

Aozaki Aoko's neck, which was originally as beautiful as a work of art, became even more astringent after putting on the collar.

The collar itself matched her youthful and fashionable temperament very well. The strong contrast between the black leather and the fair skin brought a sense of presence and alienation that made Rhodes feel his chest throbbing.

Just wearing the collar on a daily basis was like announcing to the world that "Aozaki Aoko belongs to Rod."

not good……!

Rhodes quickly put his hands back on his thighs and bent down to cover up his own gaffe as a man.

Immersed in the subtle feeling of embarrassment and pleasure, Qingzi did not notice anything unusual about Rhodes.

She lowered her flushed face slightly and pulled at the collar that was tied a little tight uncomfortably.

"Well...how is it?"

"suitable for you."

Rhodes stroked Qingzi's face, swallowed and replied.

"You're going to wear it all the time?"

Aoko secretly raised her eyes and looked at the boy, nodding shyly.

"Yeah... I know."

Just then, there was a noise at the entrance.

When they realized that Youzhu had come back from buying groceries, they immediately distanced themselves from each other.

"I am back."

Youzhu walked into the hall carrying bags of various sizes.

"Oh, you're back, Yuzu."

"Uh-huh, I'll go back...?"

The very observant Youzhu immediately noticed the black collar on Qingzi's neck.

Before she left home, her roommate didn't have this thing around his neck.

“Ah, this is actually…”

Qingzi's face flushed and she covered her neck in panic.

however.

"what!!!"

All the plastic bags in Youzhu's hands fell to the floor.

The screams that the witch lady should never have uttered echoed in the living room.

“…Ahh, ahhh…what did you guys do?”

The girl knelt on the ground, staring at the coffee table with desperate eyes.

The high-quality black tea cups on the tray were filled with green tea, which was equivalent to heresy to Youzhu.

The black princess had a devilish expression on her face.

"Qingzi, Rhodes! Kneel down here!!!"

……

……

……

"The Chinese food tonight is really good!"

"Really? I think it's just average, not as authentic as the ones I had in Tokyo."

After dinner, Rhodes and Qingzi entered Youzhu's room holding pillows with great anticipation.

The interior decoration of the house is simple and elegant. The three walls without doors are lined with bookcases, as if this is not a girl's boudoir but a small library.

It was completely different from the two rooms ruined by Rhodes and Aoko. The furniture was spotless and the sheets were neat, showing that the daily cleaning was meticulous.

Aoko threw the pillow onto the bed, "Oh my, I'm going to sleep on Yuzu's left side!"

"Then I'll sleep on Youzhu's right side!"

Rhodes also threw the pillow over.

There were three pillows neatly arranged on the not-so-big bed.

"It's okay for Qingzi, but why are you so excited, Rod?"

Youzhu, who was originally sitting in front of the windowsill reading quietly, was suddenly speechless when she saw the two people with expressions like elementary school students the night before a spring outing.

Aoko happily walked over to Youzhu.

"Stop reading, Yuju. Let's play the game of life!"

The so-called game of life is a Monopoly-type grid-moving board game.

"No."

Youzhu raised his head and glanced at the collar around Qingzi's neck, then looked away.

"Qingzi, don't put the chessboard on the bed."

"Tsk... what a bummer."

Qingzi climbed down from the bed nimbly.

Afterwards, she and Rod started playing board games on the floor.

"It's your turn, Rod. Roll the dice."

"Well, my luck isn't very good today. Qingzi, pass me the juice. I just put it on the cabinet at the door."

"Okay, you're not allowed to touch my money, okay?"

"I won't move. Hurry up."

While Qingzi was getting up, Rhodes turned the dice plate to the position he wanted.

"Oh, it's '5'!"

"Nani!?"

"stare"

While Rhodes and Qingzi were playing the game enthusiastically, Youzhu, who was sitting beside them, became restless.

"?"

Rhodes felt the eager gaze on the back of his head.

He turned his head and looked at Youzhu.

A second before their eyes met, the girl immediately raised her hand holding the book and used the book to cover her face.

"What's wrong, Rod? Pay the fine quickly, hehe, I'm going to win."

"Wait."

Rhodes turned around and said to Youzhu.

"Youzhu, do you want to play with us?"

"Youzhu doesn't like this kind of quiet board game, so don't disturb her." Qingzi interrupted.

"..."

What a heartless and unromantic woman, Rhodes thought helplessly.

If you weren't cute... Qingzi, you would probably be single for the rest of your life.

Rhodes walked up to Youzhu, who had been covering her face with a book, and looked down at her.

"........."

Youzhu, who was sitting on the chair, secretly looked over the book and looked up at Rhodes.

"I want to play with Youzhu."

The young man spoke in a somewhat tough tone, while reaching out and taking the ancient book from the girl's hand.

"...Well, since Mr. Rod has said so."

"Really! That's great!"

Aoko's happy voice came from behind.

……

……

……

On a winter night so cold that the air turned into fog, on the streets of Misaki City.

After twelve o'clock, there are almost no people on the streets, and only street lights illuminate the dark road.

Aozaki Touko, Ryougi Shiki, and Beo were walking steadily on the night road.

"Tonight is your first real fight, Shiki. I said I would teach you how to use those eyes."

Lighting a cigarette and using the light from the fire, Orange observed the employee girl beside him with satisfaction.

Unlike Orange and Beo, who are full of presence, confident and flamboyant, Shiki, who is wearing a kimono, is at the other extreme. She seems to have naturally blended into the environment.

There was no trace of the previous confusion on the girl's face.

The black pupils glow with a deep blue luster.

That is the highest level magic eye above all other magic eyes, the rainbow

[The Demonic Eye of Direct Death].

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the pinnacle of all supernatural powers.

In the distant mythological era, Balor, the king of Celtic evil gods, ruled the British Isles with his evil eye of death.
