My mother's love song

……

……

……

It's lunch time at the Toosaka household.

"Come on, please use it... Lord Rod."

"Ahhhhh, delicious."

Rod sat at the dining table and enjoyed Play, who was feeding him.

"I'm sorry, father...I lost again."

Rin had completely lost her usual elegance, and contrary to her usual behavior, she did not blame Rod and Aoi for showing off their affection in broad daylight.

The girl was lying on the table, like a rag.

There was nothing she could do about it. After all, she had been tossed around in the garden by Rhode with one hand all morning, and she had probably fallen back and forth more than 100 times.

Even if bruises and superficial injuries were healed with healing magic, the scars inside and the excessive consumption of magic power could not be healed.

Lin bit her handkerchief, tears in her eyes, and a look of humiliation: "Guwu... I thought I could definitely win this time.

I've already used spell bullets and enhanced magic, but I still can't win!"

Rhode ate the food handed to him by Aoi with a smile and said, "I was just lucky.

Rin has made great progress, and is just a little bit away from defeating me."

When the girl heard this, she immediately perked up: "Really? Really? Have I made great progress?"

Rod said, "Yeah, you've made great progress. Rin-chan is a genius. In five years, she will be able to beat me."

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

After being given a placebo shot, Toosaka Rin clenched her fists excitedly.

"Hehe, it seems you have realized how powerful I am. Is it not too late to surrender to me now?"

I always feel like there was something wrong with Rin's training?

Rhode frowned as he looked at the twin-tailed girl with her hands on her hips smugly. He felt that if Rin continued like this, she would go from being a "good student who always fails" to a "useless goddess who always fails" like Ishtar!

In the story of FSN, Toosaka Rin became an independent and strong girl because her parents died.

But in this dimension, although Tokiomi is dead, Aoi is still alive.

Although she became a formal magician at the age of 7, she still had the protection of her mother, and Rhodes also took good care of her.

Are these the reasons?

If I really become like that [Ishtar], wouldn't my death be in vain?

While Rhodes was looking worried like an old father, Lin was in a good mood.

"Speaking of which, Rhodes, what are you doing here this time?"

"Oh, yes, this is actually the case."

Toosaka Aoi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "I have something I want to ask of you, Lord."

Lin Dai frowned slightly: "Do you have something to ask him?"

Aoi held her hand and smiled, "Didn't you always tell me that you wanted to visit the Clock Tower during the school holidays?"

A few days ago, Rin asked her mother for a trip to the Clock Tower this summer. She wanted to experience the academic atmosphere there in advance.

The Clock Tower is the center of the magic world and it is also where Rin will go for further studies in the future, so Aoi is very supportive of her daughter.

But how could a mother feel at ease letting a 13-year-old girl travel to a foreign country alone?

"So I told Luo Dejun about this last night, and asked him to take you to London!"

Toosaka Rin: “…………Huh?”

The girl turned to look at Rhodes in disbelief, and the latter nodded.

"Lord-kun has already agreed, and the Sajo family has no objection either."

Aoi happily added, "Listen, Rod-kun knows a lot of amazing magicians in the Clock Tower. That's great, Rin."

cold:"……"

Just like that, Rod and Toosaka Rin's summer vacation began.

……

……

……

at the same time.

Finland, in Edelfeld's territory.

"Are you ready?"

Luviazelita stood outside the door with her arms folded, tapping her fingers impatiently on her arms, urging someone in the room.

"Ah... please, please wait a moment! The frying pan... is not necessary. Here are the spare underwear. And..."

The sound of a girl's frantic movements could be heard from the room.

Five minutes later, a purple-haired girl in a black and white maid outfit came running down from the second floor carrying a huge suitcase.

"Have you brought everything, Miss Sakura?" Luvia asked.

"It's all right now, Miss Luvia," Sakura replied.

"Okay, let's go. London, here I come."

After adjusting her golden Roman curls, the eldest lady of Edelfeld walked out of the mansion without looking back, and the purple-haired maid followed her in a hurry.

Thus, the summer vacation of Sakura Matou and Luviazelita began.

Chapter 494 Lin: Father, I'm sorry...

three days later.

Rod took Rin, who seemed a little reluctant, back to Sajo's house and reported the overseas trip to Aika.

"Ah, long time no see, are you here to play today, Ms. Lin?"

Aige wiped her hands, which had just been washing vegetables, with her apron and smiled at the girl with twin ponytails.

The Sajo family and the Tohsaka family have been friends for five years. Aoi also brings Rin to visit the Sajo family every year, so they know each other.

She uses honorifics when speaking to 13-year-old Rin, who is the head of a famous mage family.

As expected of the head of the Sajo family, he is very decent.

Rod thought, I really hope that my wives who are eager to use city-targeting treasures to greet each other can learn from Ai Ge's perfect way of dealing with people.

"Hello, long time no see, Sister Aige."

On the other hand, when greeting Aika, Rin hid behind Rod's side in an unusual way.

I don't know why Rin seems to be a little afraid of Aika, even though Aoi gets along well with Aika.

Could it be that this little girl is being pretentious and is especially arrogant in front of me?

Rhode secretly thought that he and Ishtar were becoming more and more alike...

The relationship between Rin and Aika feels a bit like the relationship between the goddess Venus and Tiamat.

Next, Rod and Aige explained that they wanted to take Rin to the London Clock Tower during the summer vacation.

"Are you planning to leave in the next two days?" Aige asked.

Rhodes said: "Well, if possible, I would like to leave tomorrow."

Ai Ge was a little surprised.

If I had to explain why, it's because Arisu is going to give birth at the end of next month.

The original plan was that Rod would move to Misaki Town in August to stay with Yuzu until their daughter was born.

In this case, the original plan

"Hey... There's actually such a thing! Rhodes, is your daughter going to be born soon?!"

After hearing about Rhode's situation, Toosaka Rin was shocked at first, then apologized: "Then forget about going to London. If it's delayed because of me..."

"Rin, don't worry about this. You just need to return to Japan in early August. You will have enough time.

If we leave for London now, we will have two weeks to stay, which is enough time for you to visit and learn there."

Rhode continued, "I will go to Misaki Town this afternoon to explain this matter to Yuzu. I hope she can understand."

Hearing him say this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin's eyes, her lips half opened as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she remained silent.

……

……

……

After having lunch at Sajo's house at noon, Rod took Rin on a bus to Misaki Town.

Misaki City is located in Chiba Prefecture, the hometown of Nasu Kinoko. More than an hour later, they arrived at this quiet town which is only a few dozen kilometers away from Tokyo but seems like a world away.

Climb up the long ramp and head towards the mansion where the witch lives.

"Why did it suddenly become so quiet?" Rhodes glanced at the girl beside him.

On the way to Misaki City, Rin and I didn't talk much.

According to her personality, she should be very talkative when she first arrives at a place and should make comments on the town in a condescending manner.

"Haa... So I am that kind of gossip in your mind?" Lin twitched the corners of his mouth and said with disdain.

Ahem, Rhodes cleared his throat and said.

"I just feel that Rin is looking so depressed right now, which is totally unlike the Rin I know."

"Rod, do you know me well?"

Toosaka Rin suddenly stopped, turned around and looked seriously at the boy who was about the same height as her.

"cold……"

Just as Rhode was about to speak, the girl with twin ponytails spoke with a wicked smile.

"Of course. After all, Rhode has known me since I was 7 years old. It's not an exaggeration to say that he has watched me grow up, right?"

That's right, five years ago, when Toosaka Rin was still a girl who knew almost nothing about magic, Rhode had been watching her and knew her too well.

Although he looks the same age as me, his appearance has not changed since 5 years ago. In fact, he must be an adult who is already many years old.

"Mom has been completely fascinated by you."

Rin took another step forward, speaking as he walked with a masochistic smile.

"What on earth was she thinking, letting me travel abroad with you, the 'probable suspect in the murder of my father and Sakura'?"

"I didn't kill your father and Sakura." Rhodes said lightly.

Rin said, "Of course I know something that even a child would understand."

"You're just a kid...it's nothing."

Lin glared at Rod and continued.

"If it was really Rod who killed my father and Sakura, he should have used violence to seize the Tohsaka family's property and women.

But you didn't do that...If it weren't for Rod, Mom might not be normal now.

Regarding this point, I am actually very glad that you are with me as a mother." Lin lowered her head and said in a very low voice.

Then she changed the subject.

"But from the perspective of the world, it was you who killed Tōsaka Tokiomi and took his wife by force?"

Rod said nonchalantly, "I don't care what the world thinks, as long as you and Aoi know that this is not the case."
