My mother's love song

Having said that, the elf girl touched the back of her head and smiled shyly, revealing a row of white teeth.

She didn't tell him that the place where Rhodes appeared had a 100-meter radius that turned into a huge deep pit.

How could such a huge pit be created?

How on earth could one survive an explosion like that?

Because she was a little scared, the girl didn't dare to mention it in front of him.

"Thank you for bandaging my wound."

As Rod spoke, he looked down at his lower body: "This pair of shorts is..."

"Ah, that's actually mine..."

The blue-haired elf blushed: "I'm sorry! I actually let you wear such an unclean thing! But I really can't find anything to cover it... that... so I..."

"it's okay no problem."

Rhodes waved his hand generously and said, "I forgive you because you are a cute girl."

"That's right, that's right."

The girl seemed to remember something and began to search her pockets.

Then, she took out a crimson fragment, held it carefully in both hands and handed it to Rhodes.

"this is?"

Rhodes asked strangely.

It was a long red hexagonal crystal that reflected a faint luster in the sunlight.

It doesn't look like a ruby, its transparency is not good, and it doesn't contain any magical power.

And it doesn't look like a man-made craft.

It is more like a natural calcification on the body of living things, similar to shells.

That is, red scales.

"You have no impression of this?" The girl showed a strange expression.

Rhodes shook his head, and she continued, "I discovered this when I found you. I thought you would remember it."

"Sorry, I have no impression of that at all."

"That's it..."

The girl tilted her head thoughtfully: "Actually, I found this strange stone in your hand.

You were holding it tightly at the time, and it took me a lot of effort to pry it open, and finally I found this.

I thought this was something very important to you."

"Hey hey... this happened while I was unconscious."

"Ah."

Rhodes said: "I'm sorry, this is not mine."

"Oh……"

So the girl wanted to take the red scale back, but Rhodes stopped her. He stared at the red scale and subconsciously stretched out his hand.

"Although it's not mine, can you let me keep it?"

When Rhodes said this, even he himself was extremely surprised.

Why would I do such a thing...

It is obviously a superfluous act.

What drove Rhodes to do this was the strong thought in his heart that "I will regret it for the rest of my life if I don't do this."

The elf girl smiled and said, "Of course, because this is what you discovered!"

"Thank you. I will treat it as an important treasure."

“No, no… hey hey hey…”

Rhodes took the scale from the giggling girl and carefully kept it away.

After this little episode, the tension that originally existed between the two of them disappeared.

Rhodes thought about it and decided to get straight to the point. He went straight to the point and asked.

"Miss, where is this place?"

Even if the other party's suspicion deepens, it is better than wasting time guessing here.

"what?"

After hearing Rhode's question, the girl still showed a trace of doubt. She hesitated for a moment and then answered.

"This is Britain."

"……oh."

Well, it seems that it is most likely Type-Moon.

In other words, she is not an elf, but a fairy?

Rhodes immediately became interested and looked at the girl again.

From this perspective, her ears are more like the short ears of an elf like Medea rather than the long ears of an elf in Western fantasy.

"Um, um...is there anything on my face?"

Being stared at like that, the girl immediately turned her face away shyly and began to comb her hair with her hands awkwardly.

"No. Why do you ask?"

"Well... because no one has ever looked at me so seriously before..."

The girl lowered her head and said embarrassedly.

It is indeed as she said, she is a girl with outstanding appearance but very unremarkable temperament.

At first glance, Ding Zhen is identified as an "ordinary good girl with neither quirks nor a tragic past", which can be called an endangered species in Type-Moon.

Rhodes said, "I see. I'm sorry if I offended you. I didn't know you didn't like being stared at."

"Yeah, yeah! By the way...I'll go get you some food!"

As she spoke, the girl stood up from the bed.

"Please take a good rest here, okay?"

"Ok."

Rhodes lay down on the bed peacefully and said to the back of the girl who was busy preparing food at the table.

"I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have been in the belly of the beast now."

"Beast?"

The girl tilted her head in confusion: "Shouldn't Morse be the one who should be afraid?"

Morse.

She uttered a term that Rhodes had never heard of.

A being even more terrifying than wild beasts, Morse... Is there a monster with this name in Britain?

There is a witch named Morgause who likes to eat little Rod.

No matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not find any impression of the name Morse from his memory.

Forget it, they are just scum that I suppressed easily anyway, so who cares.

Rhode treated this place as his home. He put his hands behind his head and crossed his legs leisurely on the bed. "By the way, do you live alone?"

There didn't seem to be much evidence of more than one person living in this room, so he made this judgment.

"Of course."

The girl answered in a bright voice.

Then the next second, she suddenly turned her upper body and spoke with a wandering look and a panicked expression.

"Ah, but it's not what you think! I, I just like living alone outside the village! I'm not driven out by the villagers, and I'm not hated by everyone..."

At the end, the girl herself lost confidence: "Probably."

Rhodes decided to take back his words: She is indeed a strange little girl.

But I don’t hate her. Is there really anyone who would hate a girl with this kind of personality?

Rhode chatted with her in a relaxed manner.

At this moment, the door of the thatched hut was pushed open with a creaky sound.

Rhodes and the girl looked out the door at the same time.

What appeared outside the door was a squirming, chaotic shadow that looked like a standing slime.

On the pitch-black body, there are only two eyes, which are very creepy.

“Momomomomo…Morse! Uwaaaaaaaah!!!”

The girl suddenly fell to the ground and screamed miserably.

She hurriedly grabbed the kitchen knife from the table, then ran to the corner of the room on all fours, trembling.

"Wow! Why, why is Morse here? This isn't his activity area."

"..."

Rhodes was still sitting on the bed with his legs crossed like a master, casually observing the monster that broke into the house.

Is this Morse?

Well, I can understand the girl's panicked attitude a little bit.

This is indeed not something that ordinary people can deal with. It is not surprising that even fairies who are born with the ability to wield mysterious powers would feel afraid.

It is an entity formed by extremely high concentrations of curses and resentments accumulated over the years.

If you get even a little bit of that stuff on you, even your soul will be corroded and become rotten and smelly.

Judging from what the girl just said, this monster called Mors is very common in this area.

What kind of outrageous era is this where curses are roaming all over the mountains and plains?

Just half an hour after arriving in the new map, Rhodes has already realized the abnormality of this era.

No… Is this really just an “abnormality of the times”?

Lostbelt.

This word gradually emerged in Rhodes' mind.

"It's dangerous! Come behind me quickly!"

The girl raised the kitchen knife high, pointed it at Morse, and cried to Rhodes in a crying voice.

When she shouted like that, Morse at the door reacted instantly.

The ghostly figure swayed and swam towards the blue-haired girl at a speed that did not match its appearance.

“Aiyah!!! No!!! I don’t want to turn into Morse-wooooa ...

"Okay, okay." Rhodes stretched.

He nimbly got out of bed and walked to the side of Morse who was rushing towards the girl. He casually raised one arm and inserted it into the body that was swaying like a shadow.

Morse made a strange "chi chi chi" sound and stopped moving on the spot as if he was frozen in place.

The next moment, Rhodes pulled out the glowing core hidden in the dark curse and crushed it to pieces.

The monster that was roaring fiercely just now turned into a pile of gray powder in an instant.

The entire process, from the time Rhodes attacked to the time the monster was destroyed, took less than a second.

"Tsk, that's weird...my strength hasn't fully recovered yet."

Rhodes frowned, staring at his palm, and closed the door that Morse had knocked open with his foot.
