My mother's love song

I was invited here today by Miss Karin to listen to her troubles in her studies and her relationship with her parents."

"I see..." Rhodes nodded.

What a reassuring girl.

At one point, he was worried that it might be inappropriate for a female junior high school student to get too close to an Outer God Servant.

I didn't expect Euclid to be such a reliable adult, well-spoken and gentle, and his face under the hood was also very cute, just like a primary school teacher who had just started working.

Come to think of it, he is a great mathematician!

Rhodes immediately felt admiration for the girl.

"I'm sorry I doubted you," he said.

Euclid shook his head. "The Adventer class is considered a disaster even in the Throne of Heroes. It's normal for you to be wary."

Rhodes continued: "If possible, please give me your contact information...

No, just tell me your address, and I will come to your house in person to apologize someday."

"Don't flirt with me. Euclid must be very troubled."

Erise dragged Rod back to her side, ruining his thoughts of taking their relationship to the next level.

You actually ruined my good thing... Rhodes gritted his teeth, took out the golden apple from his arms and placed it on the table.

"What is this...?" Erise blinked.

"You will understand once you see it, the golden apple."

Rhodes said.

"Erise, you are the god of death in Akihabara, right? There is a job suitable for you right now, which is to decide who owns this apple."

Euclid stared at the golden apple and murmured, "... Could it be the [Golden Apple that brings discord]?"

As a Greek servant and a great scholar who loved books, it was impossible for her not to be aware of that story.

So Euclid explained the original story to the pink-haired girl who shouted, "What is the golden apple? Newton?"

As for the other JC, Erise was originally a fan of myths and legends, and of course she knew the story of the golden apple and the disaster caused by it very well.

"Wait, why do I have to do this kind of trouble..."

Before Erise could finish her words, Karin interrupted her excitedly.

"Great! I actually have the opportunity to judge for the goddess! This is an opportunity that I will never have in my life... Thank you, dear Rhodes!"

See, she has to thank us.

The young man smiled kindly and said, "The goddesses will be here soon, please communicate with them.

Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave it to you guys now."

Karin patted her chest and said, "Well, leave it to Eriri and me! We will definitely live up to our mission and complete this fair judgment!"

Rhode glanced at the girl with yellow eyes and patted her shoulder: "Miss Euclid, I'm counting on you too."

"You want me to decide who owns the golden apple...ah, how annoying...this is not Euclid at all...Ia Ia...Bulgtom fugtragurn..."

The gloomy girl held her head on the table, muttering some incomprehensible words.

……

……

……

Late at night, in Tartarus, a labyrinth that exists only in shadow time.

The adventure of Rod and Sajo Aika continues.

Now, about four hours had passed since they reached the second floor of the tower.

After arriving at the second level of Tartarus, the exploration progress became slow.

According to Aige, their beginner's luck had run out.

Along the way, Rod was responsible for fighting in the front, while Aige was responsible for dismantling the mechanisms and traps.

The monsters, gates, and treasure chests along the way were not a problem for the two, but finding the entrance to the next level took a lot of effort.

But Ai Ge was very happy along the way, and she even murmured with a smile, "It's been a long time since I went on a date with Rod like this!"

Rhodes even thought: Could it be that Ai Ge is deliberately taking me around in circles?

But there's nothing wrong with going in circles if it's with Ai Ge.

After an exploration that felt like more than six hours, Aige pulled him to a room that had been cleared of monsters.

The environment here is quite good. There is a layer of shallow water all around, and you can only barely see the ground.

There are parts everywhere where the ground is not visible. These are probably man-made pits, waiting for victims with several meters of water.

"Rod, I prepared a lunch box!"

Aige pulled the boy's arm excitedly, her emerald eyes sparkling like the starry sky.

Rhode understood and said, "Yeah, actually I'm hungry too."

"Great!"

Aige smiled and produced a picnic basket containing the lunch box she had prepared during the day.

"Shall I help too?"

"Rod just sit there quietly."

Aige said as she unfolded the picnic mat.

At this moment, they both sensed the fluctuation of magic power at the same time.

In the corner of the room, a phantom figure appeared.

The strange blue horse has a tail that looks like a fish fin, and its hooves step on the water very naturally.

"That should be the water horse Kelpie." Rhodes explained to Aige.

"Is it a horse? So beautiful."

"It's a demon beast that looks docile but is actually very dangerous. It's said to like eating the flesh of young girls."

Kelpie is a relatively well-known monster in English fantasy works. The word Kelpie itself means "water horse" in Celtic.

It is rumored that it is a monster that appears in the northern part of the British Isles. It looks like a large horse, but it is not a horse. Instead, it is a water monster that can stride freely on the water.

The ferocious fantasy of eating people is now running freely in the hall filled with water, attacking rapidly -

"Wow...that's so scary." Aige whispered.

"I'll clean it up."

Rhodes stood up from the girl and raised one arm at the same time.

Just as he was about to destroy the monster that interrupted their date along with the space itself,

Aige tugged at Rhodes' wrist and said, "Leave some edible parts. I want to try horse meat dishes tomorrow."

"I understand."

The next moment, Rhodes' figure disappeared and appeared in front of the water horse.

The Kelpie's running speed was amazing, but it was meaningless in front of the boy.

Rhodes grabbed the fin-like horse mane with his left hand, and turned his right hand into a claw and stabbed at the monster's neck.

""

Huge ripples appeared in the center of the hall, followed by a violent crash!

With a miserable scream, the Kelpie flew out like a cannonball and hit the wall heavily.

"Rod, you're awesome!"

The girl behind him applauded, but Rhode didn't feel proud. Instead, he frowned.

"It feels wrong."

The Kelpie that was knocked away by Rhodes stood up again from the water.

Although Rhodes tried to hold back and control his strength so as not to tear it into pieces with one claw, he did not expect the Kelpie to be completely unharmed.

It roared in pain like a horse and glared at the boy and girl angrily.

The monster rushed towards Rhodes with astonishing momentum.

Bang!

The Kelpie flew out again and hit the wall.

While stroking his chin in thought, Rhodes casually swung his right hand, facing the monster that raised its hooves towards him with the back of his hand, and knocked it away.

Rhodes suddenly realized something and said, "...It's the magic water film.

A non-Newtonian fluid formed by a water film, this is the truth behind Kelpie physical immunity. "

Only two attempts led him to the conclusion.

"It's a water film."

After hearing this explanation, Aige fell into deep thought, and soon the corners of her mouth curled up.

"In that case. Rhode, I have a move I want to try... Eh!?"

Aige said excitedly, and when she looked at the boy, she found that he was holding the head of Kelpie in one hand and a strangely shaped magic sword in the other.

Before Ai Ge could even try out his skills, Rhodes had already cut off the enemy's head.

It was this unknown sword that he pulled out from the void that easily penetrated the physical immune water film skin and ended the life of the monster.

"What's wrong, Aige?"

"never mind."

The girl said, "In future maze explorations, Rhodes is prohibited from using Noble Phantasms."

"Why!?"

"People are sad."

The all-round girl, who didn't get a chance to show off today, puffed up her cute cheeks in dismay.

Chapter 1071: The First Heroic Seat Beauty Contest, Who is the Champion?

After layers of screening, there were a total of twenty female servants who entered the finals of the beauty pageant.

Heian-kyo sent Tamamonomae, and the Fairy Kingdom sent the Fairy Knight Tristan.

The Holy Capital is the Fairy Queen Morgan, and the Sky Courtyard is the Queen Semiramis.

Then, about the outcome of the battle for the Golden Apple

The goddess who finally won was Ereshkigal.

“Why~~~~~~~!”

Ishtar complained unhappily, "No matter how you think about it, I'm more suitable for the beauty pageant, right?"

In response to this, the evaluation team composed of two JKs and a great mathematician gave the following explanation: Miss Ailei is very cute, and we can't help but want to cheer her on.

"Well... I always feel a little complicated."

The Queen of the Underworld swallowed her saliva, she was actually pitied by the human girl.

"My lovely little pigs, sorry to have kept you waiting! The long-awaited first Heroic Seat Beauty Pageant is about to begin!"

The female emcee, wearing a white Greek hooded shirt and wings growing from her back, spoke loudly into the microphone.

"That's right. Speaking of the Witch of the Sea, one would think of me. Today, let the Great Witch Circe be the MC of this event!"

Without further ado, I invite all participants to enter the venue!"

Following the words of the Eagle Witch, twenty beautiful women walked onto the makeshift stage on the beach.

The dresses they wore were both oriental and western styles, and some of them even wore cosplay-like costumes.
