My mother's love song

"……what is the problem?"

Anna tilted her head cutely.

Rhode said, "I heard that snakes' tongues are actually very flexible... Is that true, Anna?"

"...Gu."

Anna was startled, and the blush that had gradually faded away spread again on her cheeks.

She did not answer immediately.

Instead, he stood up from the bed.

With her face flushed, she looked down at Rhodes, who was 50 centimeters shorter than her.

Gradually, the Warcraft Goddess's snake gaze changed from looking down to looking straight.

Finally, the jewel eyes that were filled with fiery passion turned into an upward gaze.

The snake goddess knelt in front of the young man who was her master, looked up at him earnestly, and spoke softly.

"What is the truth...please experience it for yourself, my king."

……

……

……

Underworld.

“Haa ...

On the throne of the Fever Temple, Ereshkigal crossed his legs and stretched.

The mistress of the underworld finally finished her day's work before dawn.

The world of the dead, which was almost overcrowded due to the war in the earthly world, finally returned to normal under the Queen's 007 work intensity.

The process of closing the underworld and completely ending the remnants of the Age of Gods in Mesopotamia is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Next, it’s the relaxation time that Ailei looks forward to the most every day.

At this time every night, the goddess would chat with Rhodes in the room through the mirror of the underworld.

That is, “humankind’s oldest video call.”

Usually, when Ereshkigal was video chatting with Rhodes, Ishtar would always come over to make trouble, but today she seemed to be out with her mother, so Ereshkigal was looking forward to tonight.

The goddess first spent ten minutes tidying up her appearance, changed into formal spiritual clothes, and then turned on the communication function of the Mirror of the Underworld.

"Good evening, Rod."

Standing in front of the mirror, Ailei narrowed her eyes and casually brushed her golden hair. "It's me, Ereshkigal. I didn't disturb you... huh?"

There was a crackling commotion from the other side of the mirror. When the goddess looked over, she found that Rhodes was sitting upright at the large desk in the room.

"Oh, oh... Good evening, Elle."

Rhode forced a smile and pushed down Anna who was trying to stick her head out from the table.

Chapter 206: Chatting with Ai Lei and Sleeping with Everyone

At the critical moment when the Mirror of the Underworld lit up, Rhodes, who was standing in the middle of the room, took Anna, who was kneeling in front of him, and hid in the blind spot of the mirror.

From Ereshkigal's perspective, he could only see Rhodes sitting upright at his desk.

Even so, the goddess was still confused about the current situation.

"Rod...it's dark, why are you sitting there?"

In the quiet night, Rhodes sat in front of the desk that he would never touch under normal circumstances, without turning on the light and with a serious expression.

To be honest, the scene was a bit scary.

Especially... Ereshkigal listened carefully and found that there seemed to be some strange rustling sounds echoing in the room.

"...Well. Actually, I was just about to have a midnight snack." Rhodes interrupted her doubts.

Do the full act, he said as he moved the midnight snack on the table towards himself.

It was the butter cake that Ishtar brought back from the morning market.

The most advanced dessert of this era, and also Anna’s favorite delicacy.

One required 10 pieces of witch's silver, but under the pressure of the goddess Venus, she only spent 20 silver coins to buy 5 today.

Earlier, before Ishtar left the dormitory with the goddess Tiamat, she told Rhodes that this was her midnight snack and he must not eat it secretly.

But now the situation forces us... So, I'm sorry, Ishtar!

Rhodes picked up the silver spoon and opened all three threads.

While eating the delicious butter cake, he started chatting with Ereshkigal...

"Rod, what kind of place are we going to next?"

Ai Lei asked curiously. The goddess has been immersed in the imagination of a better life in the future in recent days.

"It's the Far Eastern island country 4000 years from now. I prepared a residence for Ereshkigal there," said Rhodes.

"Even the place to stay is prepared for me!?" the goddess said in surprise.

"Well, there happens to be a place for you to live."

Rhodes brushed away Anna's messy bangs and began to explain slowly.

Tokyo, a large underground cavity.

The world's largest drainage system, an astonishingly huge uninhabited underground city, is also the place where BeastVI is moving.

Since Aigo Shatiao once raised the Beast [Rod] in the large underground cave, it has become a spiritual place that even primitive people dare not approach.

With just a little bit of magical transformation, the large underground cavity can become a small divine realm.

Then, we can use it as the magic workshop [temple] of Tiamat, Ereshkigal, Ishtar, and Anna.

"Although Ishtar may complain about living underground, as long as she is given a room made of gold and gems, she will probably live there happily."

While eating cake, Rhodes explained the situation to Ellie.

"...Is that so? That sounds great. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful." Ai Lei said happily.

That’s great… I can really stay with Rhodes forever.

The goddess happily twisted her blonde hair with her fingers subconsciously, looking at the boy at the table with love... Hmm?

Suddenly, Ereshkigal noticed something strange in the room.

She rubbed her eyes and made sure she was not seeing things.

What the hell.

Why... is there a snake on Rod's desk! ?

From Ereshkigal's perspective, a purple snake snaked up from under Rhodes' table and was stealing the butter cake in the boy's hand.

That should be... Anna's snake, right?

Can the snake hair of the child be removed from his head and exist independently?

Rhodes didn't seem to notice it. Should I remind him?

The goddess of the underworld didn't know that Anna was actually in the room, right under her nose.

Even Rhode was kept in the dark. Anna secretly sent out a snake to compete with him for the cake when the light in the room was poor.

And for Anna now, it can be said that she is literally cheating on both sides.

Perhaps it was because she had devilish blood flowing in her body, Anna not only did not feel it was dangerous, but seemed to enjoy it.

Ahhh, butter cake...so delicious.

"……Well."

Rhodes frowned slightly.

He was a little shaken, so as not to let the goddess notice the flaw, he changed the subject.

"What's wrong, Elle?"

"No...it's nothing."

Ai Lei shook her head and decided not to tell Rod about Anna's snake on the table.

She didn't want to be regarded by the child as a bad goddess like Ishtar who liked to tell tales in private.

Then they continued to chat aimlessly.

Both parties felt somewhat guilty and thought they had kept the secret from the other, but in fact only Anna achieved a win-win situation.

Just like that, after Rhodes and Ailei chatted for another twenty minutes, the goddess decided to end today's video chat.

“Haaaaaah~~~ I’m a little sleepy today.”

"Well, go to bed early, Ailei."

When Rod heard that Ellie was about to finish, he immediately became alert.

"Well, bye~ I'm going to rest first. Good night, Rod."

The Mirror of the Underworld dimmed, and the room returned to darkness.

"Anna...do you think I didn't notice you were secretly eating the butter cake?"

As soon as Ai Lei left, Rhodes looked at Anna and said calmly.

"...Woo!"

Anna shrank her shoulders with tears in her eyes and quickly retracted her snake hair.

In fact, Rhodes didn't notice it at first.

But Ereshkigal always looked absent-mindedly at the table when he was chatting with him, and even if he was not very smart, he would have noticed it.

"Hasn't the butter cake been eaten up? I will be the only one being scolded by Ishtar then."

Seeing her beloved master looking sullen, she first nodded, then shook her head.

"It seems... I have to punish my naughty followers more severely."

With a chilling smile on his face, Rhodes picked up the Warcraft Goddess Princess, who was several sizes larger than him, with his slender arms and walked towards the bed.

"... Stupid Master."

Anna's purple gemstone pupils were covered with a light, sentimental mist.

……

……

……

The lights in the corridor came on.

"Huh? Is Anna in Rod's room?"

"AAAaaa..."

Then Ishtar and then Tiamat came in, and they both walked into the room.

"Good evening, goddess Tiamat, Ishtar."

Anna greeted them both.

"AAaaa..."

"Oh... Anna is here."

Ishtar's gaze stayed on Anna's face for half a second, revealing a slightly suspicious look.

Is it my illusion? Why does Anna look more charming today than usual?

"Me too... grunt, just got here."

Anna frowned slightly, covered her lips with one hand, and her throat trembled slightly.
