My mother's love song

Rhodes frowned and asked, "Ishtar, did you bring Gugalana with you?"

"How could you do such a foolish thing? If you bring that kid out to have fun, the whole of Mesopotamia will turn into a Category 12 typhoon."

Ishtar said with lingering fear.

"Last time, because I released Gugalana in the outskirts of Uruk, Siduri took me to the witch's house and lectured me for an entire afternoon. In the end, it was my mother who came to take me away."

"...Are you the elementary school boy whose parents were called to school because he brought cicadas to school?" Rhodes' mouth trembled.

By the way, after the war, Gugalan turned back into the form of a little black bull.

Now it lives with everyone in the Chaldean Embassy, ​​and will go to Tokyo with Ishtar in the future.

Before they could say two words, heavy rain began to fall from the dark clouds.

The beach, which had been steaming for days, was hit by heavy rain, and misty water vapor rose up.

"Wow, it's raining hard...it's so cold!"

Ishtar hugged her arms that were exposed outside her swimsuit and hid under the parasol.

The other two goddesses who were swimming near the coast also hurried back.

In this way, the small parasol could accommodate five people: Rhodes, Ishtar, Ereshkigal, Tiamat and Anna.

“AAAAaaa…”

Tiamat suddenly reached out from behind, hugged Rhodes' waist, and let him sit on her body.

The other three cool and eye-catching swimsuit goddesses had to squeeze together.

Rhodes sat on the soft body of the Mother Goddess of Creation, admiring the wet, white, beautiful limbs swaying in front of him.

“A magnificent view.”

While the goddesses were complaining about the weather, only Rhodes thought the current situation was really great.

The goddesses in the sun and on the beach before had a noble and bright beauty, but now the goddesses wet by the rain also have a hazy and decadent beauty.

"No, the parasol is no match for the rain. It's raining too hard!"

Ishtar shouted as she moved closer to Rhodes.

"Oops, it slipped!"

"How about we find another place to hide from the rain?"

Rhodes smiled bitterly, stroked the head of the Venus goddess who had buried it in his chest during the chaos, and spoke to everyone.

Although he enjoyed the current situation very much, it was obviously not a good idea to watch the girls getting wet in the rain.

Besides... you can unlock new locations, isn't that great?

"Yeah, that's true. Let's go to the observatory where we changed clothes just now? It's an abandoned building now."

Near the deserted beach due to the war, the only place to take shelter from the rain seemed to be the abandoned seawater observatory.

Ereshkigal's proposal was quickly accepted by everyone, and they rushed out in the heavy rain.

……

……

……

The people who were soaked like drowned rats finally arrived at the seawater observatory.

This is a two-story semi-open-air building. Although it was attacked after Lahmu came ashore, there was more than enough room to shelter from the rain.

"…It's so cold, so cold. I'm going to freeze to death."

Ishtar folded her arms, stamped her feet, and shivered uncontrollably.

Although she is the goddess of abundance, she is particularly afraid of rain for some reason.

Perhaps it has something to do with Ishtar’s past tragic experience in the underworld.

Seeing her like this, Tiamat quickly picked up his coat and put it on her.

"Ah, thank you, mother. Why is there a towel... Eh!? Isn't this your coat? If you use it to wipe your body, what will you wear when you go back later?"

Ishtar said dissatisfiedly, her tone seemed to be complaining, but she was actually very happy.

“AAAAaaaa… (Special translation: Outer clothes won’t work, do you want to use my underwear to wipe your body?)”

"Oh! That's not necessary. My mother's underwear scares me, physically." Ishtar shook her head.

If the goddess Venus were to wipe her body with Tiamat's Jcup underwear, she would probably live in frustration for a long time.

"It's raining really hard. I guess it'll keep raining for a while."

Anna looked out the window at the cement-colored sky.

The rain keeps falling.

There was a constant sound of splashing rain, and the rain poured down from the roof like a curtain.

If the goddess Tiamat or Ishtar uses their power, they should be able to stop the rain.

But

They have already decided to bid farewell to the Sumerian world, so it is impossible for them to use their powers casually, let alone for their own convenience.

In other words, everyone will probably have to spend the night in this abandoned building tonight.

"Well……"

Anna felt her heartbeat quicken.

Although we have been living together for the past week, we would feel nervous if we stayed overnight outside.

Rod...the master will definitely call me out in the middle of the night.

At this time, the boy's voice came from not far away, interrupting the Warcraft Goddess's wandering thoughts.

"Everyone! It looks like we're saved!"

Rhodes, who had just returned from an expedition in the observatory, said excitedly.

“There seems to be a bathroom here!”

……

……

……

Led by Rhodes, everyone came to a room on the second floor of the Seawater Observatory.

"There actually is a bathroom."

Ishtar looked in disbelief at the simple ceramic bath set up in the room and the neatly arranged water tanks beside it.

"That's true. After all, this observatory includes living quarters for the staff. It wouldn't be surprising if there was a bathroom."

"AAAAaa (Special translation: It's great, and the bath is big too.)"

"Goo."

The goddesses swallowed involuntarily.

After soaking in sea water for a whole day and then getting drenched by the summer rainstorm, the girls' desire for a hot bath has reached its limit.

Then, Ishtar, Elle, and Anna glanced at Rhodes furtively.

Although she really wanted to take a nice bath, it would be too much to kick Rhode out right now.

What's more, this was the bathroom he discovered.

Therefore, it is most reasonable to let Rhodes wash first and then the girls' group wash.

As for the idea of ​​mixed bathing for men and women, Ishtar rejected it at all costs.

Bathing with Rhode was still within the realm of possibility... bathing with five people was unacceptable.

Ishtar took a breath and said, "Rod, you go first..."

"Then everyone wash first, I'll wash later."

Rhodes said without hesitation.

"Hey?"

His words stunned Ishtar.

The Goddess of Heaven never expected that Rhode would take the initiative to give up the right to wash first this time.

In Ishtar's impression, Rod should be the kind of child who happily shouted "Let's take a bath together!" and then started to take off his swimming trunks and jump into the pool in front of everyone.

What kind of wind is blowing today?

But Ishtar soon felt relieved. Perhaps the child had become more sensible recently and started to learn to be considerate of adults.

Although it was a bit regrettable that she couldn't use the bath water he had used, since it was a kind gesture from Rhode, the goddess would of course gladly accept it.

She scratched her hair and said, "Is that so? Since Rhode said so..."

At this time, Tiamat reached out and hugged the boy tightly as he was about to leave the bathroom.

"AAAaaa...... (Special translation: Rod, stay. We have to take a shower together.)"

There was a firm glow in Tiamat's beautiful eyes, and she would not tolerate any other objections.

“Uh.” Ishtar’s mouth trembled.

correct.

Mother always wanted everyone to be together no matter what happened, but she completely forgot her thoughts! This is the oldest woodcutter in the human race!

Ishtar looked at Rhodes helplessly. At this point, Rhodes was the only one who could dissuade the goddess Tiamat.

Please, Rod! Please persuade her!

But Ishtar unexpectedly saw

With Tiamat hugging his arms, Rhodes' mouth curled up in satisfaction.

"Wow...is this also within your calculations?!"

……

……

……

The once desolate and cold bathroom is now steaming hot.

The public bath, large enough to accommodate five people, was already filled with hot water.

The raw material was spare seawater stored in the bathroom. Rod used magic to adjust the salt content and heat it to the appropriate temperature.

“AAAAaaaa…”

Tiamat was very happy to be able to take a bath with everyone, so she stood on tiptoe and hummed a little song.

She was undoubtedly the person in the best mood tonight, second only to Rhodes.

Tiamat and Rhodes held hands and entered the bath.

"call……"

"Aa..."

As their cold bodies were enveloped by the hot water, they shivered in unison and breathed a sigh of relief.

The tiredness from a day at the beach was mostly gone the moment I immersed myself in the hot water.

Comfortable temperature, pleasing scenery, and soothing sounds of rain.

Rhodes happily rested his head on Tiamat's shoulder, and the Goddess of Creation in turn put her face on his head.

"..."

Then, they simultaneously looked at the three goddesses standing at the bathroom door.

"… Well, we're sorry to bother you, too."

The three goddesses felt itchy at the sight of Rhodes and Tiamat feeling comfortable. They pursed their lips and walked towards the bathing pool.
