My mother's love song

"What's wrong, Tomoe?"

Rhodes looked down at Tomoe Gozen who seemed absent-minded and asked in confusion.

""

Tomoe Gozen stared at Ishtar's back as she flew out of the house, closed her beautiful eyes, and shook her head.

She put her fallen hair behind her ears and slowly lowered her head...

……

……

……

When Rhodes opened his eyes again, it was already early morning of the next day.

The bright sunshine poured into the room, and noisy voices could be heard from the street outside the window.

At the same time, he also felt a heavy pressure on his chest.

Turning his head, Rhodes found that Tomoe Gozen was resting her head on his chest.

Her beautiful silver hair bathed in the morning light, her expression was defenseless, her chest rising and falling rhythmically.

She has lost the majesty she had as a military commander, and the virtuousness and grace she had as a woman.

Tomoe Gozen's sleeping face is as cute and charming as a girl.

No, not really.

It was not until last night that Rhode learned that the Tomoe Gozen he met was a real girl.

Tomoe Gozen, who is already married and always refers to "Yoshinaka-sama" in FGO...Rod is the first man she has ever experienced.

◇

Late last night.

Feeling a little tired, Rhodes lay in the soft and warm arms of Tomoe Gozen, quietly enjoying the afterglow.

When he opened his eyes again, he found something strange in the corner of the mattress.

"that is……"

The sheets, which were supposed to be pure white, had now become extremely messy, and a bright color had been left on them since who knows when.

"…Tomoe, what happened? Are you hurt?"

Tomoe Gozen, who also discovered the "abnormality", first had a panic expression on her beautiful face, and then she lowered her head guiltily.

Rhodes was puzzled by the situation and asked again.

"I'm sorry, my lord...I have been hiding something from you.

You asked me about what happened in Nippur before... Ba actually lied."

Tomoe explained the whole story to the young man with a guilty conscience.

The story about the life of the military commander Tomoe Gozen.

About her sisterly bond with Kiso Yoshinaka.

The story was long and Rod listened very carefully.

When Tomoe Gozen was moved, he reached out and stroked her hair.

“…………Hmm, so that’s how it is.

Kiso Yoshinaka is actually a girl who is similar to Ushiwakamaru. She pretended to take you as a concubine in order to protect your mixed-race identity... Also, is your child an adopted war orphan? "

"Well... although it's not appropriate to compare Yoshinaka-sama with Yoshitsune, that's the way it is."

"So...um, my feelings for my master...are just female admiration. Tomoe is serious!"

Tomoe Gozen's cheeks flushed and he lowered his head shyly.

"I, who deceived you, dare not ask for a title. I just hope to stay with my master. If you don't mind... that..."

"……Yeah."

Rhodes turned around and put his arms around Tomoe Gozen's slender waist.

At this point, there is no need to say any more extra words.

"Stay with me from now on, Bar." Rod said, "I need you."

"Okay, okay, my lord!"

Tomoe Gozen replied with a delighted look on her face.

Slightly trembling red eyes, a charming and moving expression.

The fragrance of sweat stuck her silver hair to her cheeks, adding a touch of sensation to her beautiful appearance.

"...My Lord, are you tired?"

As Tomoe Gozen spoke, he stretched out his lotus-like wrist and wrapped it around Rhodes' waist.

"Well, what do you say? Do I look tired to you?"

The two looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

Tomoe Gozen said quietly, "My lord is different from the monsters in the north. He becomes very energetic at night."

"That's because the heroine guarding the north wall is so attractive."

"…Pfft, stop teasing Tomoe."

Then, their lips came together again.

The long night has just begun...

◇

Rhodes ended his recollection and looked at the silver-haired demon girl again.

There is a blush on her fair face and a tenderness in her delicate eyes.

The beautiful and moving voice seemed to still echo in his ears, and the words of love vows still lingered in Rhodes' chest.

All this told him that this was real and not a dream.

"…I have some mixed feelings."

Rhodes smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He was not sad because Tomoe Gozen was not a real widow, but was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Although I feel ashamed of the Prime Minister's spirit in heaven,

It's really great that I'm Tomoe Gozen's first man.

Rhodes carefully put his arms around the girl's shoulders and hugged her gently and tightly.

I remember Tomoe Gozen had said before that she was very weak in the morning and her brain often short-circuited when she was half asleep.

So Rhode decided not to wake her up today but let her sleep until she wakes up naturally.

By the way, what did Tomoe Gozen mean last night when she said, "I won't give you to the goddess!"?

Boom.Boom.Boom.

At this moment, there was a sudden, rapid and forceful knock on the door.

“…Woo woo.”

The knock on the door made Tomoe frown in Rhodes' arms.

She was half asleep and half awake, without opening her eyes, and responded in the sweet voice of a young girl in the morning:

"Who is it~?"

"Ms. Tomoe Gozen, it's me... I'm Mashu."

A capable and energetic female voice answered from outside the door.

Yesterday's affair investigation task had not been completed yet, and they had agreed to continue helping the citizens of Uruk investigate their wives' affairs today. Mashuo came to call her.

"Please come in~" Tomoe Gozen replied in a daze.

Then she buried her face deeply in Rhodes' arms and rubbed it like a coquettish kitten.

"What!?"

The people of Rhodes were dumbfounded.

The room is obviously not in a condition where Mashu can enter now!

Don’t sleep, my little ancestor!

"……OK."

Mashu's response came from outside the door again.

Rhode, who could no longer care about anything else, shouted, "Wait, don't come in! Mashu! Don't..."

squeak

As the saying goes, "in a flash", the door of the room was opened.

"Good morning, Tomoe-san, Rod-kun."

Mash turned the handle and pushed the door open, bowing politely towards the room.

She looked up and continued.

"Lord, you were calling my...name just now..."

The speech paused and the thoughts were interrupted.

Mashu's eyes opened wide, and a look of astonishment formed on her cute face.

"Shout my name...?"

She slowly squeezed out the words from her throat, her eyes fixed on Rhodes and Tomoe Gozen.

“Yes, yes, yes, yes…I’m sorry!!!”

Mash covered her face with her hands.

"No. Mashu, you misunderstood..."

"Yes Yes."

Covering his face, his big watery eyes peeked out from between his fingers, and the Shield Child began to chant at high speed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you two were in this relationship. I thought Tomoe-san and Rhodes-kun were just sharing the same room. If I had known you two were like this, I would never have entered casually. Please believe me. I really didn't mean to do that. It's all my fault that I don't have good eyesight. I'm sorry that I'm a slow-witted child and didn't notice your relationship. I'm really sorry! That's true. After all, there are no entertainment activities in this era. It's not strange for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room. This is the world of adults. But can Rhodes-kun really be considered an adult? Ah, I'm not despising your relationship, and of course I don't mean to blame Tomoe-san. Even the senior told me that Rhodes-kun was so cute that she couldn't help but want to take action. Yes, yes, I will keep it a secret from others. I will never tell anyone what I saw now, not even the senior. Even if the senior tickles my armpits with phoenix feathers and origin fetal hair, I will keep my mouth shut. I will try my best to forget everything I just saw! Goodbye! I wish you two a sweet morning!"

"Wait, Mashu...!"

boom!

Mashu slammed the door and fled from the room in a swift and decisive manner.

The room returned to silence, leaving only Rhodes speechless and choked.

"…How should I explain this later? I was actually learning Japanese from Tomoe?"

The culprit, the ghost girl, snuggled in the arms of her beloved, with a happy and lovely sleeping face.

"Mmmmm... Master, I like it."

……

……

……

"Ha, ha, ha, ha..."

Mashu's face flushed, and she ran downstairs from the second floor.

Still in shock, she held onto the wall with one hand and pressed her rapidly heaving chest with the other.

I can't believe... that Rod-kun and Miss Tomoe Gozen have this kind of relationship, even though there's such a huge age gap between them.

The pure girl's heart was deeply shocked.
