My mother's love song

"Let's go in. The old lady must be unable to sleep because of the festival because she's alone at home. Why don't we go and chat with her?"

As he spoke, Rod took Anna's hand and prepared to enter the flower shop.

"No."

The girl's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she did not move even when Rhodes pulled her.

"That's enough. This is our last night in Uruk. There's no need to create any more memories," she said coldly.

"Because it's the last night, we need to create some memories."

It's rare for Rod to speak out the truth.

Anna lowered her head, hiding her entire face in the hood.

"I hate humans and don't want to have any contact with them anymore."

“…Humans are very smart creatures. Unlike animals, they don’t stick to one method, but are constantly seeking many “possibilities”.

Human beings always make the most correct choices, pursue "new things", and continue to grow. "

"Yeah. Humans are always growing."

Rhode nodded in agreement, "That's why I love humans."

“But…when something new comes along, what happens to the ‘old things’?

Even if they are not used, it is fine. However, humans will reject them as "bad things".

Simply because if these things are left behind, they will not bring benefits to the "new things."

There was no sadness in the girl's words, only a hint of loneliness.

"…That old woman was treated like this. She had to watch over those withered flowers in a house without sunlight.

At first I only helped her because of work, but she was so happy and told me so many things.

Even though she could no longer see, she remained calm. Even though she felt lonely, she never mentioned it.

…She treated me like her granddaughter and invited me to eat butter cake with her.

What else can you say? It's delicious. … She obviously can't tell the taste anymore."

"That must be because the old woman and Anna are very happy together."

"That's because she doesn't know the truth at all. I deceived her and everyone..." Anna's voice began to choke up halfway through her words.

"The old lady in this room, her grandson was killed by a monster on the north wall a few days ago... You should understand what I mean, right?"

Rod looked into Anna's eyes and said, "That was the fault of Gorgon and the Magic King, not yours. You did nothing wrong. You saved the lonely old woman.

Now go and keep her company, but this is not out of atonement, but out of your kindness."

"What are you talking about!? You know it very well! She is me and I am her!

I am the Gorgon... an ugly, twisted monster that hates humans!"

The girl became excited. She grabbed Rhodes by the collar and shouted, "All the disasters and sufferings on this land are caused by me!"

The boy reached out his hand and pressed it on her hood, smiling and saying, "See, Anna, you are so sad, which shows that you really like humans."

“…………” She was speechless.

After a while, Anna looked up.

“The city of Uruk is my dream.

I want to be treated gently by humans, and I want to treat people gently. I have always wanted to do this, and I used to think it would be great if it were this way.

This is a dream that I, now an adult... a dream that I can no longer recall."

"Anna, you will not become a monster Gorgon. You will always be gentle."

"I have become a Gorgon, and her presence proves it."

"You are a Medusa, and you cannot become a Gorgon. I can assure you."

Rhodes looked sharp and stared directly at the angry demon eyes under the black hood without dodging.

"What do you know...!?"

"Ah. Of course I know, because Anna, you are also a human! If you are a human, you will grow in a good direction, right?"

"……what?"

The boy uttered such ridiculous words that Anna was stunned.

Any Servant with a little bit of vision can tell that she is a goddess, possessing the skill [Goddess's Divine Core A].

Yet, he says he is a human being?

Rod continued, “Anna, you are a human being.

You are different from your sisters in that you gained life in this world.

They are true goddesses. Their existence is different from that of living creatures. The moment they gain form, everything is complete.

But you are [born], just like humans... a half-baked creature that grows with time and changes in appearance."

“…………Hmm.”

The girl whose background was revealed said nothing.

Rod's sophistry was very effective, and the girl was shaken violently.

Just as the boy said, Medusa is different from other gods and sisters.

The gods have been eternal and complete beings since their appearance in the world, but she is an alien that grows over time.

She has always felt inferior because she is not a complete god.

Is there such an explanation? I am... human?

Seeing the girl's confusion, Rhode took advantage of the situation and continued to evade, "Anna, you have the same definition as humans. So, you are a human.

You are a kinder and gentler child than anyone else, and the old woman knows this best.

Then, you will definitely not become a Gorgon, but will definitely become a great man."

Anna hesitated and said, "But... I... Gorgon actually exists there..."

"Because Gorgon doesn't have your experience! So she went astray!" Rhodes grabbed her thin shoulders.

"But you are different! You have the help of Meli, Chaldea, and everyone in Uruk. You will not follow the same path as Gorgon!"

From the palm of Rhodes' hand, he could feel the tiny body trembling violently.

She lowered her head and murmured, "Can I be like a human...?"

The boy nodded deeply: "You can do it, too. You can do it, Anna."

"…………but."

Anna's magic eyes quickly returned to their coldness.

"Even if I won't become a Gorgon, the fact that my 'possibility' hurts everyone will not change. People will only hate me and won't like me anymore..."

"wrong."

Rhodes shook his head: "No one in Uruk would hate Anna."

"Bullshit."

"I'll prove it to you," Rhodes said firmly.

"Prove...how are you going to prove it?"

Rhode said nothing, but just stroked his chin and looked at Anna's little girl body with a straight gaze.

"..."

The boy's carnivorous gaze sent chills down Anna's spine.

“…What’s going on?”

"Haha, it's nothing. Anyway, I will prove it to you.

Even if everyone knew you were involved with the Goddess of Warcraft, they would still like you... The humans on this planet are such idiots.

Anna, do you want to make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?" The girl blinked doubtfully.

Rhodes tilted his head and thought for a second.

"If I win, let me lick your eyes... Ouch, it hurts!"

Anna stepped on Rhodes' instep.

"…Just as Meili said, you are a pervert."

The girl puffed her lips and murmured softly in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.

"But... I kind of understand why everyone calls you the Goddess Captor."

A blush appeared on Anna's pretty face. "It's a deal then... you want to prove it to me?"

"Okay! Let's put the bet aside for now and go! Let's go help out at the flower shop."

Seeing that Anna was in a good mood, Rhodes grabbed her wrist.

"Wait." Anna called him.

"?"

Amid the boy's confusion, Medusa took off her dark hood, revealing her cute face and beautiful long hair.

"Let's go, Rhode. Go and help the old lady with the housework. The heavy and rough work will be left to you! After all, I am still a weak girl."

What was reflected in Rhodes' eyes was the girl's brilliant smile.

"no problem."

Hehe... After you become an XXL spirit base, I will throw all the physical work to you.

Be prepared... Anna, the composite divine goddess of Warcraft.

Chapter 185 Beast Tiamat (10/25)

"Good morning."

Meli walked into the lobby of the divine tower and greeted Rhodes and Anna.

"Good morning, Mellie."

“What? Anna actually greeted me on her own initiative! She’s become a polite and good girl! She even took off her hood. Mom, I’m so happy…!”

Meili reached out her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said as she wiped: "Rod, what method did you use? What did you do to her last night?"

"Stop making so much noise, Merry. Go to the underworld now."

The girl ignored her teasing and walked among the crowd, "Good morning, everyone."

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

……

The small God Tower conference room is now crowded with people.

Humans, gods, and servants all gathered to fight for the liberation of Uruk.

"Hey...don't you feel a little hot?" Rhodes said.

At this moment, the boy was being wrapped up by Ishtar and Tomoe with two pieces of bread sandwiched with cheese.

His left arm was crutched by Ishtar, while his right arm was sunk into Tomoe Gozen's plump breasts.

"I'm not hot at all." Ishtar raised an eyebrow, "Tomoe, would you please stay away from Rhodes?"

"What are you talking about? You should let go, goddess. Can't you see that the master is in trouble?"

"You are the one who is making her suffer!"

"You're still as welcome as ever, Rhodes."
