My mother's love song

This is natural, right? The outside world is all things I already know, and it's really boring."

"...You are so lucky to have someone to clean up your mess." Rhodes sighed softly.

"Are you talking about Ai Ge? Haha... You are such a considerate and caring child."

"Ryougi Shiki" said with a smile.

“In fact, Aika Sajou and I were not allowed to be born into this world.

The world will prevent the occurrence of things that will cause the world's destruction.

A creature like me who came out of the "body" would have died in my mother's womb. It was only thanks to the technology of the Ryogi clan that I survived.

So, Rod, do you know why Aige was born in this world?"

The boy shook his head in confusion.

"Ryougi Shiki" opened her eyes and said calmly.

"I think... maybe she was allowed to exist in this world just to give birth to you and become Beast's mother."

"........."

Rhodes was stunned.

"So, you should treat your mother well, okay?"

Staring at the pair of pure eyes with a smile, Rhodes snorted.

"I would have done it even if you didn't tell me."

……

……

……

After that, the two of them chatted aimlessly.

“‘Shiki’ is a part that flows out from the root, while ‘Shiki’ and ‘Zhi’ are the ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’ born from your ‘Tai Chi Plate’. In a sense, they are your children.

Aigo's magic circuit is also part of the root, and I am Aigo's child.

If that's the case, then it doesn't seem to be a problem for me, Shiki, and Ori to be considered brothers..."

He chatted with her about irrelevant topics, and she seemed to be very happy to listen.

"Then, who am I to you?" the girl asked with a smile.

Hmm... Aika Sajo was born in 1977, and the personality of "Ryougi Shiki" was born in 1979, so she is the aunt?

But now, Zhi has become a part of me. If Zhi is considered a child of "

And Ai Uta and "" are both outflows from the root...so "Shiki" is also the mother?

No, no, no! Rod, oh Rod! Stop adding to the number of mothers!

However, the root-style mother seems to be pretty good too... hehehe.

Rhodes wavered violently.

"You're such a fool to actually want to pursue motherhood in me."

While Rhodes was lost in thought, Shiki said with a smile.

"Rod, have you forgotten something important?"

"By the way, I have to settle accounts with Orange next."

Rod looked at the sky.

It was snowing under the grey sky and it was almost night.

"But Shiki told you not to leave her side even for a moment."

"Yes, if she wakes up and finds that I'm not around, she will definitely be upset. Miss Shiki, who knows everything, can you think of a solution? For example, let Shiki not wake up before I deal with Orange."

Hearing this, Shiki laughed.

"I reject."

Rhodes: "..."

This guy has a terrible personality! Almost as bad as Ai Ge.

"Rod, I have something to ask you. I'm sorry, but the small talk ends here. I showed up just to ask this question."

She looked at him with eyes that were several times more mature than her appearance.

"What is your wish?"

"……what?"

Rhode twitched his lips: Again? Do I have to make a wish every time I fight the boss?

Seeing the boy's hesitant expression, she said.

"Since you are the reason why Shiki lives, I can also say that I am yours.

Human nature, the world, and so on have nothing to do with me. If you want, I can ignore morality and law to fulfill any wish for you."

The girl let Rhodes put his hand on her chest and smiled without any emotion.

“Although my functions are somewhat overlapping with Sajo Aika’s, if they’re boys, there should be some of them, right?

I can also fulfill your wishes that you cannot express to your mother."

"……Well."

Rhodes tilted his head and thought seriously.

After a moment, his expression brightened.

“Got it. This is a wish that can only be fulfilled by Shiki.

No one else... not even Sajo Aika can fulfill my wish."

She turned her head from her lap and blinked curiously.

"Well, let's hear it."

"I want to be able to see Shiki in the future."

Hearing his wish, the girl was stunned.

The divinity that had always surrounded her disappeared at this moment.

"How cunning."

Ryougi Shiki closed her eyes and complained softly.

"...You actually discovered it.

Because of your appearance, I no longer feel lonely, so I originally planned to sleep forever.

It won’t appear again. Because there is no need for it to appear anymore.”

After saying that, she smiled softly.

As if despising itself, Shiki denied its own existence.

"Even if Shiki doesn't need me anymore, I might still need you."

Rhodes put more strength into his fingers and asked again.

"Shiki, can you fulfill my wish?"

The girl nodded slightly.

"...I understand. If that's what you want."

After saying this, she seemed embarrassed and turned her head to look at the town below the mountain.

"It hurts a little. I can already feel your determination to keep me, so... can you let go?"

"Oh, yes. Sorry."

Rhodes relaxed his tense fingers.

"Well, it's about time for me to go, too."

She closed her eyes with a happy expression.

"Ah."

"By the way...next time we meet, go on a date with me without telling Shiki."

"why?"

Although he knew it was very unromantic, he still asked.

I guess Miss Ryougi Shiki, who has already been deified, must be very considerate and wouldn't care about these things.

结果

"You really don't understand romance."

The pure white girl immediately looked at the garbage.

"As expected of the disgusting guy who ate Zhi."

Being stared at by that kind of eyes gives me an inexplicable sense of happiness... Oh no, what should I do if I am cultivated with special XP?

Rod said, "I'm sorry, I understand. It's a date, right? It's a deal."

"I won't go to a love hotel with you at the end of the date. It's your fault for using your wish for something so boring," she added.

"Haha, that's a shame."

"But if the atmosphere is good, it's not impossible to kiss... Okay, let's go!"

"You always walk slowly."

After a long silence, the girl's breathing returned to a steady state.

Shiki left.

Then after a while, her eyelashes trembled slightly on her calm and lovely sleeping face.

Shiki woke up.

"Wow...Rod?"

The girl raised her head and her eyes met the boy's.

"Are you awake, Shiki? You can still rest a little longer... Wow!!!"

Starts with "Swoosh!"

Ending with a "BOOM!"

He grabbed Rhodes' wrist and threw him out.

"……incredible."

Ryougi Shiki's face flushed.

She covered her chest and shyly cursed at Rhodes who was lying in the snow.

"Where did you put your hands while someone was sleeping, idiot!"

……

……

……

It took another 10 minutes after that to convince Shiki that he was actually massaging her heart.

"I won't go there."

Ryougi Shiki kept a distance of five meters from Rhodes, and with her arms folded across her chest, she ordered Rhodes to leave.

"Then, I'm leaving."

Farewell ceremony.

Rhodes arrived at the final battle site, the old school building on the back hill of Misaki High School.
