My mother's love song

"Um... although this is not something that Tomoe should be concerned about, but Lord, are you really not going to help Uruk?"

Tomoe Gozen asked as soon as they walked out of the restaurant.

As Rhodes's servant, she had already been told some inside information from him that no one else knew.

For example, the Warcraft Goddess entrenched in the north is not the real final BOSS. She is just a puppet thrown to the front by the dark side. Rhode's purpose is to come for the real enemy.

For example, the goddess Ishtar is not a member of the Three Goddesses Alliance.

And even if he did nothing, the king and people of Uruk would be able to overcome this difficulty.

……and many more.

"What does Tomoe think?"

"Eh? Tomoe is satisfied as long as he can accompany the master, but..."

There was a hint of melancholy on Tomoe Gozen's beautiful face.

She clearly possesses power, but turns a blind eye to the suffering of those around her. This behavior is not in line with her values.

"Tomoe is really kind..."

Rhodes looked up at her face and smiled.

"I can't just sit back and watch people suffer, am I right?"

"..."

When being stared at by those black pupils, Tomoe Gozen felt that she was no different from when the two of them were in the bathroom together last night.

Everything about me seemed to be exposed to the sun.

He knows everything about me.

It seemed as if he could see every inch of her skin clearly.

"...Yes, my Lord."

Tomoe Gozen blushed and nodded awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, Tomoe is a terrible woman."

"I see. Then let's do what Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others did and see if there's anything we can do to help in Uruk."

"Okay, okay! My Lord!"

Hearing this, Tomoe Gozen happily hugged Rhodes' arm.

"Actually, I received a task from Miss Siduri this morning...

There is no time to lose! My Lord! Let's go to the pasture outside the city and shear the sheep!"

……

……

……

Pasture outside Uruk.

Here, Rod and Tomoe Gozen met Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group who had received the same commission.

Tomoe Gozen, Ritsuka, Mashu, and Anna, all four of them had excitement shining in their eyes.

Are you here for the sheep hunting too?

The girls exchanged glances in tacit understanding and nodded.

"Miss Anna, are you interested too?" Rhodes greeted the hooded girl. This was their first conversation.

"Well, being able to touch the sheep... seems to make me happy."

Anna nodded slightly, and Ritsuka Fujimaru next to her took over the conversation.

"I heard from Miss Siduri that the sheep are very soft in this season."

Mashu swallowed and said, "Guu, it looks like this will be a difficult mission..."

“Fuuwuwu…”

The disgraced Fu Fu jumped into Rhodes' arms and let out a pitiful howl.

"Just accept your fate, Fufu."

Afterwards, everyone followed the ranch owner's guidance and arrived at the Warcraft hideout near the ranch.

The energetic girls quickly physically resurrected the monster lurking there.

"Oh, you've been a great help! I suffered so much from those pests!

Actually, you just needed to help guard while I was shaving, but I didn’t expect that you actually helped me kill the harmful beasts…”

The rancher handed the mission rewards to the girls while smiling.

"As expected of you, you are the elite troops under the king's direct command! I'll count on you guys next time! Here, three sheep silver pieces."

"Hey! What do you mean? Mashu, why are we entering the mission settlement interface!?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru's body began to shake. Didn't we agree to shear the sheep?

Mashu quickly supported Ritsuka, and her expression was also very uneasy.

"Um... don't you need our help in shaving?"

The rancher scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well... because the situation has changed slightly...

The shrine maidens said that they were willing to pay to have their hair shaved, so they had already been booked.

I never thought that there would be a day when shaving can be a business... Really, fashion is such a scary thing..."

Instantly, an atmosphere of despair that was as severe as the burning of human nature spread among the girls.

Mash: “Sheep…”

Anna: "From what I see..."

Li Xiang: "After..."

Ba Yuqian: "Your Majesty..."

"You guys, cheer up... and you too, Fufu."

Rhodes stroked the head of Tomoe Gozen, who threw herself into his arms like a child, and smiled helplessly.

"This is probably because King Gilgamesh introduced the currency system 500 years earlier, making entertainment something that can be 'purchased'."

"As expected, currency is a bad civilization... The reservation system is not a good thing either..."

Anna had tears in her eyes and bit her lips unwillingly.

……

"The next commission given to us by Chief Priest Siduri comes from the Kisinamu clan."

Romani said when the girls finally got over their loss.

"Because his wife has been acting suspiciously these past few days, we hope to conduct an investigation. To put it bluntly, it's an investigation into her affair."

"Infidelity investigation? Um...shouldn't this kind of thing be resolved by the person involved?"

"Kisinam is the foreman of the weapons shed. He is not allowed to leave his post on weekdays.

However, I am too concerned about this matter and my work enthusiasm has been reduced. I hope it can be resolved as soon as possible.

In addition, evidence will be needed when going to court, so it would be great if we could catch the adulterer in the act and find out who he is and what he has done. "

"...Oh. That sounds interesting. Ritsuka-san, can the master and I go together?"

Tomoe Gozen grabbed Rhodes' arm, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Don't underestimate the investigation of an affair. It's common for a wife who is caught in the act to become possessed and attack with a large scimitar.

So the more guards the better, right?"

"Is that so... Yes, of course."

So they decided to take on the commission of an extramarital affair investigation.

"...Um...I want to act separately from you two."

Anna, who was taciturn, suddenly said, "Just now, I was asked to help an old lady on the avenue..."

"Oh, it's the woman from the flower shop. It seems like they are indeed recruiting employees for the store."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said, "We have the help of Rod-kun and Tomoe Gozen this time, so it won't be a problem for us."

Just as everyone was preparing to split up, Rhodes suddenly raised his hand.

"Ah, me too. The old lady from the flower shop asked me for help."

"……Why?"

Anna showed a puzzled expression, and Rhodes spoke to himself.

"So let's split up. Anna and I will go help out at the flower shop, while Tomoe and Ritsuka and the other sisters will finish investigating the affair. How about that?"

"Fu, Fuwu!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu immediately agreed.

Tomoe Gozen, who was somewhat reluctant to part with Rhodes, hesitated for a while and nodded reluctantly.

"…Why did you tell such a lie? You weren't asked to do anything by the old lady in the flower shop."

Anna said softly as she watched the three people leave.

“Ah, ah, have you been discovered? It’s just a spur of the moment thing, don’t take it seriously.”

Rhodes looked at her without changing his expression.

Anna has a pair of eyes so beautiful that people can't help but keep looking at them.

A veritable gem, Rhodes thought.

Seeing that Anna still couldn't accept this, he continued.

"Like Anna, I am a random person who drifted to this era, and I am also a member of the [Three People Who Hate Meili], so let's help each other."

"Just for this reason?"

"Yes, that's why."

"Who is the remaining member of the trio?" Anna asked.

"It's Fu Fu." said Rhodes.

Anna pulled down the brim of her hat and snickered.

"That's true. Next time I formulate a plan to kill Meili, I may need your help."

Anna looked up, the alertness no longer on her lovely face.

"Please give me more advice."

"Anytime."

Leaving these words behind, Rhodes took a step forward.

"Let's go, Anna."

Anna stretched out her little hand and grabbed the corner of Rod's clothes.

"The old lady's flower shop isn't over there."

Night fell on the ancient plains of Mesopotamia.
