My mother's love song

"...Pfft."

Scathach leaned forward and laughed.

Seeing her gentle smile, Rhodes also started to smile.

In fact, he had already noticed that Scathach did not have any murderous intent, so he performed a crosstalk with her.

"Then it's about time we get going."

Rhodes was about to stand up when Scathach grabbed his hand.

"What's wrong?"

"Close your eyes."

"Oh."

Rhodes closed his eyes.

Then he smelled a fragrance and at the same time felt an extremely soft and wonderful touch on his lips.

"!?"

He opened his eyes and found that it was not an illusion. Scathach kissed him.

After the kiss lasted about ten seconds, Scathach took the initiative to separate their lips.

"...Uh, Master, what are you doing?"

Could it be a reward for my meritorious service in protecting the emperor, Rhodes thought.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just taking some magic from your mucous membrane to replenish it. Let's go."

Scathach stood up quickly and gracefully, leaving Rhodes behind and walked away.

"Tsk... I thought the master was bewitched by my extraordinary charm. Is it really that easy to deal with the master?"

Rhodes followed.

"Hmph. If you want to capture a castle as impregnable as mine, ordinary means won't work."

Looking at the depressed boy beside her, Scathach secretly revealed a happy girlish expression.

Sorry, Rod.

I don't have a heart as strong and brave as yours.

Please forgive me for being a weak person. Now I don’t even have the courage to express my inner love.

But please wait a little longer, one day I will convey my heartbeat to you.

Until then, let me maintain the status quo.

Just being able to walk side by side with you like this makes me very satisfied and happy.

Scathach suddenly staggered and fell on Rhodes: "Sorry. Hold my waist... I still seem a little weak."

"it is good."

Rhode hugged her slender waist and asked Scathach to stick close to his body: "So don't force yourself, you are already old."

Noticing the scarlet glare she was giving him, Rhodes quickly whistled.

"..."

Scathach pursed her lips: What a guy who is both annoying and likable. I must find a reason to punish him.

correct.

Scathach stuck out her tongue and gently slid it across her cherry-colored lips.

After a while, I will eat this guy in the name of "My magic power can't be restored, you come here to help me replenish my magic power"... hehehe

Chapter 539 The Real Family

"Who did you choose to be the second mother in the end?"

Rod and Beta hid from the sun in the shade of the trees and enjoyed black tea and dessert.

They were somewhere outside of London, in a royal estate owned by the Magic Association.

After the London incident ended in a farce, Delta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, mother and daughter were temporarily placed here and Rhodes was in charge of their care.

This meant that the Coronzon mother-daughter quartet had given up their plan to destroy humanity and formally submitted a letter of surrender to Rhodes.

Regarding the aftermath of this incident, Rhodes found the dean of the Clock Tower and the queen. The three of them discussed it alone for an afternoon and finally decided to completely block the inside story of this incident.

As for the cause of the London fog, it was announced that it was the work of the evil spirit Gamisha who escaped from the London underground. (In fact, it was indeed him who did it)

In order not to attract the interest of the Holy Church, they also transferred the honor of defeating the evil spirit Gamisha to Aozaki Touko.

As a reward for saving London, Aozaki Touko was released from the seal designation.

The galactic magic circle deep in the Tomb of Albion has been lifted by Delta, and the mining city of Magisfia may have to temporarily close for a while to reorganize.

Rin, Sakura, Lanis, Luvia, and Gray returned to the ground safely. After being examined at the hospital under the association's name, they were discharged safely. They are currently touring the clock tower.

While Rod and Alpha were fighting in the depths, Hatres was also captured by Kenneth, leaving the seat of the Minister of Modern Magic Science vacant.

Rhodes recommended a new candidate to Lorelaia and Kenneth. When he said that nostalgic name, Kenneth's expression was very interesting.

Another thing that makes people very concerned is that the body of Atram, the oil king who was killed by Beta in the tomb, disappeared according to what Orange said afterwards. What happened to that unlucky guy?

Thus, the London incident came to a successful conclusion.

It is so perfect that people think it is a happy ending that only appears in fairy tales.

It feels like a joke.

But, this is the reality.

About seven days have passed since the war.

It is now evening and the sun has already sunk 80% below the horizon. It may be a little too late for afternoon tea, but it is never too late for a peaceful time.

For a being that is far superior to humans, a life with restricted freedom must be very unpleasant.

The fact that Alpha and Beta didn't just keep picking on the maids instead of killing them during the week they lived here is enough to be considered growth.

By the way, when Beta kept quiet like this, she looked like a perfect lady (at least on the outside), which touched Rod deeply.

"Are you still talking about that topic? No one has been chosen. Delta is our only mother."

"What's the truth?" Rhodes asked with a smile.

Beta took a sip of tea and said, "In the end, Gamma still said that he didn't want any other mother besides his mother."

"That's fine, too."

What would happen if Rin and the others really became the mothers of these guys?

Rhodes felt extremely desperate just imagining the unfolding of the rampage.

"Thank you, Beta."

Rhodes put down the teacup and looked at the second daughter with blonde hair and big breasts.

"Not just you, of course, but also Alpha, Gamma, and Delta. Your willingness to live in peace with humans really helps a lot.

If you are really against humanity, I can't blame you."

Beta raised an eyebrow: "You are just a stinky man who only talks nicely... I heard that you made onee-sama cry, didn't you?"

"It's better to say that you are the ones who made Alpha cry. She cried because you died without her permission."

"Noisy!"

"Thank you anyway, Beta." Rhodes said seriously.

"That's enough. You keep saying it's annoying. And don't be so conceited. We're not getting along with humans in a friendly way just for you." Beta said coldly.

"Proud?"

"certainly not!"

Beta glared at Rod angrily, but the latter ignored her anger and asked.

"Where are Alpha, Gamma, and Delta today? I usually see them around this time."

"I'm packing my luggage on the second floor. Tomorrow is my last day in this manor."

"Then why didn't you go?"

Beta said confidently: "I don't do housework at home."

"Is this the treatment for a second daughter who is loved by everyone?"

Rhodes said: "I say, you really don't want to go back to Japan with me?

I have a lot of property there, enough for you to enjoy yourself forever without worrying about anyone causing trouble."

As he spoke, he held Beta's hand on the table and said, "Live with me from now on, Beta.

It's okay to become a real family, and I will definitely make it up to you this time."

"No, I don't want to die."

Beta rejected Rhodes' invitation in a second, but did not shake him off. Instead, he let him hold her hand.

"Why? Can you tell me the reason?"

Rhodes realized that although Beta looked disgusted, he was not actually that resistant.

Beta stared at him for a while before saying, “This is a decision we made after discussing it among the four of us, not because we hate you.

It's better to say that Mother and Gama want to live with you. Humph, you are such a woman who is easily deceived by sweet words...

But Alpha and I don't want to. We have other things we'd rather do than live in Japan with you."

As expected, the people in charge of the Crowley family are Alpha and Beta. From now on, I must give priority to pleasing them.

Rhode knew what was going on and asked, "What else do you want to do?"

"Ah."

Beta elegantly rested his chin on the back of his hand and looked at the sun which had completely sunk below the horizon.

“Alpha and I want to go traveling.

Leaving this small island country, we want to explore the outside world and learn more about various things.”

"That's it."

Rhodes nodded, feeling somewhat lonely yet somewhat happy.

Is this how it feels like for a father whose daughter leaves home?

Although I have never lived with these three daughters for even a single day.

Even the child's mother was taken away. Rhodes thought to himself that if possible, Delta should be left to me.

“…Aleister, are you listening?”

When I came to my senses, I found Beta glaring at me with an unhappy look on his face.

"Ah, I was just daydreaming."

"…It's terrible."

Beta rolled his eyes and said, "I just said that after we return from our trip with Mother...

Um... let's live together again when the time comes."

"........."

Rhodes was stunned.

"what do you mean?"

Beta continued speaking, noticing his dazed look from the corner of his eye.

"I, I have discussed this with Alpha, and in consideration of Mother and Gamma's pleas for you, we have decided to give you a chance to redeem your reputation.

So...it's not impossible for us to live with you, for the sake of Mother and Gama!"

After saying this, the blonde devil girl turned her head hurriedly and brought the black tea to her lips with trembling hands.
