My mother's love song

"...Yeah, Rod-kun. Hehehe...let me call you that."

In the quiet space, when the two looked at each other, they both felt the illusion of rising temperature.

Mashu lowered her head shyly: Could this be...!

I've seen it in movies, the subtle atmosphere before a man and a woman kiss.

So, in my dream this morning, I accepted Rod's confession and became his girlfriend...

Although it was just a dream, we both had consciousness... Ugh, it should be just a joke, right? Rod-kun probably wouldn't take it seriously.

While the Shield Son was daydreaming, Rhodes leaned forward, held her hand, and moved his face closer to her.

Hey hey hey hey hey! ? ! ? ! ?

Mashu's pupils trembled, making a sound as thin as a mosquito's hum.

"Ro-Rod-kun...?"

"Mashu, come do what you didn't have time to do this morning."

Rhode's face was within the distance where both of them could breathe together, and Mash closed her eyes in panic.

"Ugh...!"

In the darkness, Mash felt Rod's hand grasp her upper arm.

Luo Dejun's hands are so big...

The boy's hands are a little different from those of his predecessors.

She was so shy that she wanted to break through the door and escape, but her body seemed to be nailed to the spot.

Not only that, but she even pursed her lips slightly.

The next moment.

The girl felt a gentle touch on her cheek.

"……what?"

When Mashu opened her eyes again, she found Rod kissing her cheek.

"This morning's revenge. You attacked me this morning."

He leaned forward in front of Mashu and smiled, "Is Mashu expecting something else?"

"No, no! You big idiot Rod-kun!!!"

Mash's cheeks flushed as she punched his chest lightly.

"……that?"

At this time, a voice came from the side.

"Can you please stop flirting in front of someone's bed?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was lying beside them, stared at them, blinked and said.

……

……

……

Central Control Room.

After waking up, Ritsuka Fujimaru went to find everyone to report his safety, accompanied by Rod and Mashu.

“I’m glad you’re okay, Ritsuka. In short, the situation in Chaldea is just as Mash said.

Although I know you have many other things on your mind, there is one priority right now."

Leonardo da Vinci, who was busy and overwhelmed, gave them new tasks.

"You set this device to these coordinates.

It's nothing, the distance is less than one kilometer. It takes less than twenty minutes one way.

Fortunately, today is a day that doesn't come around often in a year. Don't miss such a day.

Well, go ahead and check what you have recovered."

After saying that, Da Vinci patted Rhodes on the shoulder.

“What are you doing standing here? Aleister-kun, you should come with them too. You are their guardian, right?”

Rhode curled his lips and said unhappily, "When am I their guardian?"

Although he followed Ritsuka and Mashu to Chaldea because of the atmosphere, he had no intention of becoming a member here.

Looking at Rhodes' blatant expression of disgust, Da Vinci said with a malicious smile.

"Aleister-kun, you are the successor of Romani, right? If so, then you are of course the guardian of Ritsuka and Mashu?"

"……Well."

The words of the Almighty left the most powerful trickster of the 20th century speechless.

Outside Chaldea there was a snowstorm that never stopped, but today it stopped as if celebrating a victory.

After a year, the exterior hatch of Chaldea was opened.

The girls ran out excitedly.

“Wow, how blue it is.”

"This is the real sky. This is our time, our Earth."

"Hey, don't run too far."

Rhodes followed behind with his hands in his pockets like an old man taking his children out, with an impatient expression on his face and a slightly raised corner of his mouth, silently watching the girls having fun on the snow.

For them, this is undoubtedly a hard-earned happy time.

It is the blue sky that was regained after countless hardships.

Rhodes put his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky, feeling deeply moved.

"...Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the Beast of the End."

When we go back, we must inform Da Vinci of these two things: "Group A cannot be unfrozen" and "Someone will attack Chaldea", otherwise FGO2.0 will be launched and Beast will make a comeback.

For Rhodes, avoiding a manpower freeze is not actually a necessary matter.

But since I'm in Chaldea, I have to repay the food they provided, and I might as well nip the seventh beast's conspiracy in the bud.

Stop using dolls to create bosses! Stop it, you are cheating people with this game!

“…Rod-kun!”

"Lord Aleister!"

Looking up, he saw the girls standing in the distance, waving at him.

"Forget it... Stop having a stern face today and enjoy your rare rest."

According to the plan, Azu's freeze will not be lifted until the new director arrives next week, so there is still plenty of time.

Tell Da Vinci when you go to the cafeteria in the evening, and then discuss defense measures with her.

Rhodes walked towards Ritsuka and Mashu, watched the sunrise with them, and made a New Year's wish to the rising sun as if he was visiting a shrine.

After everything was over, Mash asked, "By the way, Mr. Rhodes, don't you plan to return to your original appearance?"

"Well... since there's no need to switch back and forth, I'll just stick with this stance for now. Why do you ask?"

"...Woo."

Mashu suddenly lowered her head and shook it violently without saying a word.

"Mashu seems to like you more when you were a child?"

Ritsuka, who was standing by, touched his chin and teased.

"Lord Aleister, it's best to stay the way you are now! You don't have to change back to Rod-kun!"

"Hey~~~ Senior, I really don't understand. Of course, Rod-kun [Lily] is cuter!"

For some reason, they started arguing about "Which form is better, Rod or Aleister?"

Mashu pursed her lips and said, "Lord, it turns out that children are better, right?"

Ritsuka puffed up his cheeks and said, "No, no, no, Mashu, it's almost time for you to graduate from being a shota... Of course, it's better to be Lord Aleister Crowley!"

"Lord-kun!" "Lord Aleister!"

Grabbing Rhode's arms one by one, they asked in unison, "Which side do you think is better?!"

"...Haha, whatever happens is fine." Rhodes sighed.

"Okay, okay, the ultraviolet rays outside are too strong. We'll get sunburned if we stay out for too long. We should go back."

Just as he raised his head and was about to take the two back into the room, he found that Ritsuka and Mashu were looking at him with very surprised expressions.

"Rod-kun, your body!?"

"Ok?"

Rhodes looked down and found that his body was gradually becoming translucent.

“Wait, wait! What’s going on!?”

Before he could react, a beam of light fell from the sky and shone on Rhodes.

Then he completely disappeared from their sight.

……

……

……

Well-lit room.

From the window directly in front you can see the balcony of the apartment opposite.

The modern appliances and furnishings made Rod feel a little out of place for a moment. It looked like a Japanese-style apartment.

The extremely simple furnishings indicate that the owner of the room lives alone and is a rather boring person.

If there is any difference from the ordinary room, it is that there is an eight-pointed star painted with lime on the floor of the living room.

The glittering summoning circle heralds the beginning of the Holy Grail War.

Rhodes instantly understood the change that happened to him.

“Ahh… I was cast into this world by the Seat as the Heroic Spirit Aleister Crowley.”

If that's the case, then one of the man and woman fighting in front of me should be my Caster's Master.

“Don’t be ridiculous! Who the hell said I was going to fight in the Holy Grail War? I still have things to deal with in Chaldea! If you don’t let me go back, FGO 2.0 will start soon!”

The summoning of heroic spirits is a two-way journey.

Generally speaking, without the consent of the Servant, a magician cannot summon a Heroic Spirit on his own initiative.

That's why Rhodes felt confused and annoyed.

What is going on.

Who summoned me?

What could be more important than what's happening in Chaldea?

Countless questions swirled in Rhodes' mind, and he looked at the woman standing on the summoning circle.

She was a girl with a temperament between youth and maturity.

She is tall, has fair skin, and her legs are slender, long and full.

The shoulder-length shining blonde hair matches the clear emerald eyes, and her exquisite beauty is like a doll, which makes people feel trance-like.

The gorgeous and bright dress wraps around her beautiful figure, while her plump breasts and round buttocks outline the attractive female curves.

“…I don’t know who it is?”

Rhodes muttered, feeling extremely annoyed at the same time: What qualifications does this woman have to summon me!
