My mother's love song

Ryougi Shiki glanced at the boy lying on the mattress and said, "Don't lie on my bed. Didn't you just come out of the gym? You smell like sweat."

"Oh yes, sorry I forgot."

Just as Rhodes was about to get up from the bed, she said again, "Forget it, just lie there."

After that, the three of them chatted aimlessly for a while.

We first talked about dinner at Liang Yi's house, and then talked about life at school.

Finally they talked about Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino's eyes.

The two girls in this room both possess the strongest Mystic Eyes.

There is no need to say much about Ryougi Shiki, her eyes are the highest level [Rainbow].

The eyes of the evil god that can see the end of all things, and the eyes of Galan that look directly at death.

As for Fujino, although she does not have a Mystic Eye as advanced as Ryougi Shiki, she is undoubtedly the "strongest Mystic Eye user".

Although it is not as good as [Death Perception], it is also considered as the highest level [Distortion] among the supernatural powers called Mystic Eyes.

Plus Fujino's recently awakened [Psychic Eyes].

The biggest limitation of the Mystic Eye as a magician is that its effectiveness is limited to the area within the range of vision.

In "Monster Night", Aozaki Touko was completely defeated by Azuma's Bridge Giant because the giant's familiar was too huge to be captured by the Mystic Eye.

But the clairvoyant ability solves this problem perfectly.

After gaining the ability of perspective, the range of Fujino's [Mystic Eyes of Distortion] is no longer limited to line of sight.

In "Kara no Kyoukai", she used her eyes to twist a bridge that was more than ten kilometers long, which was the application of distortion and perspective.

This is already the firepower of an entry-level anti-city weapon, but her upper limit is not limited to this.

If we add in the fact that Fujino may awaken his "Clairvoyance" in the future.

By then, Asagami Fujino's eyes were no longer just magic equipment, but a true treasure.

An EX-rank [Anti-world Noble Phantasm].

"ah!"

Amid Fujino's cries, Rhode pulled her into his arms and stroked her head.

"Fujino, you have to grow up quickly."

"Yes, yes! Mr. Rhodes."

At Rod's request, Fujino performed a show where he bent all the soup spoons in the room.

After enjoying the magic show and straightening the spoon with his hands under Shi's angry glare, the clock on the wall pointed to 11 o'clock.

Shiki and Fujino are still students, and it is almost time to turn off the lights and rest.

"We'll take our leave now."

The two guests walked out of the room one after another.

Fujino disappeared at the end of the corridor first.

Just when Rhodes was about to close the door of the room, Shishi, who was standing at the door to greet them, suddenly held Rhodes' hand.

"?"

Ryougi Shiki's hands were warm, which was different from the cold feeling that Rhode usually had when holding hands.

Rhodes looked at her face with a little surprise.

An expressionless smile appeared on Ryougi Shiki's face, a cool, extremely peaceful smile that exuded maternal love.

Rhodes asked tentatively: ""Style"?"

“Correct answer.”

She took the boy's hand and said calmly, "As a reward, can you stay in my room tonight?"

……

……

……

The evening breeze blew through the bamboo forest in the yard, making a rustling sound.

The silver moonlight shines into the Japanese-style room, casting a layer of haziness and ambiguity on the solemn and dark interior.

He and she were facing each other, lying side by side on the soft big bed in the middle of the room.

Since a while ago, Ryougi Shiki has been looking at her face tenderly with a loving smile on her face.

The girl switched to another personality, and her expression and temperament changed dramatically. She looked more mature, elegant and charming.

Being stared at by a beauty like Shiki on the bed made Rhode somewhat uneasy.

"Shi", why are you out again?

He couldn't help but ask.

"What do you mean 'again'? The last time was a dream, this time is reality, they are different."

With a devilish expression, she asked softly, "It's not the child, but I invited you to stay the night. Are you disappointed? Do you need to change someone?"

"That's not the case at all." Rhodes shook his head.

"If I have to choose, I would like to sleep with Shiki. Oh, by the way, please don't tell Shiki!"

Shiki laughed.

It was a perfect smile that embodied the existence of womanhood.

“Rod, do you know that you have the talent to bring out the maternal part of women?

That's why I show up so often when you're with that kid."

"You haven't given up on that idea yet?"

Rod smacked his lips: "I treat you as a brother, but you want to be my mother. Is this okay?"

"Yeah. Not only did I not give up, but this desire became even stronger."

The pure white girl raised her beautiful eyebrows: "Rod, do you know the [Great Goddess of Catal Mound]?"

"Well."

Potnia Theron, goddess of Çatalhöyük, the origin of creation.

Rather than saying that he knew this person, Rhode would say that she was his...

Ryougi Shiki paid attention to the boy's expression and continued speaking in a calm and gentle voice.

"The original goddess whose name has been forgotten since ancient times, the Great Goddess of Cataldo. She is the origin of the civilization of this planet.

Her divinity evolved into Tiamat, Cybele, Ishtar, Anat, Astarte, Gaia, Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite, Demeter, Athena... and so on, the earth goddesses all over the world.

They were worshiped and protected humanity, and were also the embodiment of sacrifice, using the grains and crops produced by themselves and the beasts of the fields and forests to feed the people.

They use their own flesh and blood to feed humans, and then as time goes by, they kill those humans and use them as their own food to restore their own flesh and blood, and then use the restored flesh and blood to feed humans again.

This process is also the cycle of the food chain itself. It can be said that the life system tree of the planet is the essence of the Earth Mother Goddess...

In short, the goddesses created the earth and human beings, and the Great Goddess of Çatalhöyük is the mother of all earth goddesses, including Tiamat and Gaia.

It is said that the true identity of the original goddess is the "origin" from which all things were born. "

"The Great Goddess of Çatalhöyük is... the personification of the Origin?"

After hearing her words, Rhodes' mind suddenly became clear.

It turned out to be the case.

Rod understood that the reason why "Ryougi Shiki" regarded him as her own child was not only because "Shiki" and Aika were similar.

He even knew the reason why he became Aige's child.

"Let's talk about this topic next time. I'm going to sleep," said Rod.

The sudden truth made the boy feel very tired.

"Shiki, please go to bed early too."

"Ah."

After Ryougi Shiki nodded in agreement, Rhodes closed his eyes.

"hehe."

As soon as the darkness returned, I heard an elegant chuckle like a silver bell.

"..."

Rhodes frowned slightly, and after some inner struggle, he opened his eyes again.

"Didn't we agree to sleep together? Why are you staring at me?"

Ryougi Shiki's face was calm, her beautiful eyes glowing with rainbow light were unperturbed: "Nothing, I just want to observe you for a while. When you fall asleep, I will also fall asleep."

Because Rhode's sleeping face is very interesting, I can't help but want to keep looking at it, she said.

"Okay, go to sleep, good boy. Or do you want me to sing a lullaby for you?"

"That's a lie."

Rhodes suddenly spoke.

"……what?"

She tilted her head in confusion.

Rod said: "You will fall asleep after I fall asleep. You are lying. There is no way you can fall asleep.

You once told me that you could only sleep in "" forever.

"..."

The blue eyes of Ryougi Shiki flickered.

It was the first time that Rhode saw her with such a dazed expression.

In an instant, the girl, who seemed to have become thousands of years younger, reached out her hand and touched Rhodes' cheek.

"Well, actually I couldn't sleep, so I was always alone at night. I felt a bit disadvantaged, so I was always unwilling to accept it.

But if I can see your sleeping face at night, it will also be a benefit...so just sleep peacefully.

Just being by Rod's side like this and protecting you while you sleep makes me feel happy."

"..."

Rhodes remained silent and held the hand on his face.

From the boy's hands, Ryougi Shiki felt the warmth and power that belonged to a boy.

She lowered her beautiful eyes, revealing an embarrassed expression: "You can't do such things, okay? Even if you act like a spoiled child, it's not allowed."

...I'm not mentally prepared yet.

Rhode remained silent. He moved his body in the bed to get closer to Ryougi Shiki and buried his face in her soft bosom.

“…Really? I told you not to do that, idiot.”

The girl complained faintly, then reached out and hugged the back of Rhodes' head.

After a while, the boy's peaceful snoring could be heard in the girl's arms.

……

……

……

At the same time, in a dark alley late at night.

The shadow that could almost be mistaken for a black stone tablet was a tall man in a black coat.

Araya Soren's face was also full of distress today.

Like most magicians, Araya Soren pursues the Root Vortex.
