My mother's love song

“…Rod!”

Bawanxi grabbed Rhodes' sleeve angrily, but she was also penniless, so she had no choice but to accept her fate.

Jian observed the interaction between the two with interest, and then spoke.

"Bhavanshi, who is this?"

"Ah, he is..."

"Rod."

The boy flipped open a page of the menu, ordered a dish and gave his name.

"Rod?"

The Altria-faced girl gave him an impeccable business smile: "I am Ash, and I am traveling to tour Britain."

Her self-introduction received no response, and Rhode completely ignored her, just pointing at the menu and talking to the waiter.

"This, this, and this. Oh, and three sugars for the coffee."

“…Ah, okay!”

Feeling awkward, Jian and Bawanxi looked at each other.

Jian was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and took the initiative to speak: "Ba Wanxi, what is your relationship with Mr. Rhodes?"

Bavanshi smiled awkwardly and replied, "Ah, that's right, Witch Lady. Rhodes and I are..."

"A friend I just met recently. She saved my life when I was in the south. She is currently traveling with Bawanshi."

After ordering, Rhodes returned the menu to the waiter, turned around and faced Jian, staring at her with a hint of sarcasm on his face for some reason.

"Mr. Rhodes...I was just talking to Bawanshi."

The blonde girl with Altria's face frowned slightly and pouted her thin lips: Is this boy trying to pick a fight with me?

"I know, it's the same if I answer for her."

Rhodes turned to the goblin beside him: "Is it okay, Bawanshi?"

"Oh, well...of course you can."

The girl, totally unaware of the strange atmosphere at the table, nodded in a silly manner.

"See, Bawanshi said so too."

"..."

Ash bit his lip, holding back his displeasure, and said, "So, why did Bawanxi travel with you? Mr. Rhodes, you should know how dangerous Britain is now, right?"

"I'm sorry, I'm a fairy who was reincarnated not long ago, so I don't know much about the situation in Britain. It's because I lost my memory."

Hearing him say this, Bawanshi blurted out: "Hey, Rod, you are a human... um!"

Under the table, Rod kicked her heel, signaling her not to talk too much.

"Hehehe... oh yes, I forgot about it! Rod, you just reincarnated!" Bawanxi smiled and touched the back of his head.

"........."

Jian narrowed her eyes warily, as she had keenly captured the scene just now.

She saw a clear superior-subordinate relationship from the interaction between the two, that is, Bawanshi could not resist Rod.

In Bawanxi's opinion, Jian is a friend she has known for nearly ten years.

Bawanshi is the first fairy who treats the savior Ash, who is ostracized by all the fairies, kindly, so they become friends.

On the surface, this is the case, but in reality it is not

Jian has known Bawanshi for nearly a thousand years.

The claim of nearly a thousand years may be a bit exaggerated, because the time that Ash was active as a savior was actually very short.

She only moves when disaster strikes Britain, and hibernates the rest of the time. Her actual existence is only a few hundred years.

During this century spanning a thousand years, Jian and Bawanxi have met and parted several times.

From the first time they met, when Jian was moved by Ba Wanxi's kindness, she would go looking for her every time the savior woke up from hibernation. However, the Ba Wanxi she met every time was no longer the same Ba Wanxi.

During Ash's sleep, Bavanshi died and was reincarnated.

It is not uncommon in Britain for fairies to be exploited, deceived, betrayed, or killed by other fairies.

If anything, Bavanshi was too kind, too gentle, and too innocent. A fairy like her simply could not survive in Britain.

She was deceived and betrayed by the fairies time and time again and died. Every time Jian met Bavansi, she was a brand new one.

Beside the innocent and kind-hearted Bawanshi, there always appear fairies who take pleasure in bullying her.

For example, the young man sitting in front of Jian.

Arrogant and frivolous, he has not concealed his hostility towards me since the beginning.

He must have thought that Bawanshi was funny, ridiculous and easy to deceive, so he approached her!

Thinking of this, Jian couldn't help but clench his fists in anger, imagining hitting him on the head with the wooden stick in his hand.

She was about to say something, but Rhodes spoke up first: "The village where Bawanshi lived has been destroyed."

"What……?"

The words he had prepared were blocked, and Jian opened his mouth in surprise.

"It seems that the villagers lost their minds and killed each other because of the internal strife over an unregistered human being. They all died together.

Bawanshi and I managed to escape from there, so we came to Salisbury and settled down here before considering our next move."

After Rhodes finished speaking, Ash looked to Bawanxi for advice, and the latter nodded.

“Everyone in the village…looks so scary.

Everyone took up weapons and hurt each other, insulted each other and wanted to kill each other... and then everyone died.

The village is gone. Only Rod and I survived. "

"how so."

Jian showed a frustrated expression and covered his face.

She sighed and turned to look at Bawanshi: "You are not hurt?"

"Well, no, not at all."

Bawanxi glanced at Rhodes and said happily, "When the village was in chaos, it was Rhodes who protected me from other villagers. Thanks to Rhodes, I am safe. Hehehe..."

"Rod?"

Ash made an incredible sound.

It was unbelievable that in Britain there would be goblins who would stand up to protect other goblins.

This kind of thing was unheard of even for the well-informed Jian!

Could it be that... he is actually a good devil, not what he seems?

Jian looked at Rhodes again, only to find that this guy was actually giving her a condescending smile of victory.

That smile was full of sarcasm and ridicule, as if accusing Jian of being unable to protect Bawanxi.

"……accurate."

"You've spoken your mind, Lady Witch." Rhodes said calmly.

While they were chatting, the restaurant waiters brought the dishes one by one.

"Wow, how sumptuous! How luxurious!"

Bhavanshi’s eyes widened.

Unlike humans, fairies do not need to rely on food to sustain life. Eating is just an act of imitating human culture.

The same goes for Bawanshi, who pays more attention to the presentation of food than its taste, and her mood improves when she sees the gorgeous dishes in the restaurant.

"Can I eat now?"

Bawanshi seeks advice from Rod and Ash.

"Of course, I ordered this for you."

Rhodes looked at Ash and stroked Bawanxi's head: "Don't be polite, just eat."

"Okay, Rod. Thanks!"

"…………!!!"

Jian clenched his hands tightly and grunted through gritted teeth: "Ba, Ba Wanxi...eat it while it's hot. It's my treat."

"Well, thank you too! Ash!"

Bawanshi began to eat, and Rod picked up his coffee.

"I want to express my gratitude to you. Mr. Rhodes, thank you for protecting Bawanshi while I was away."

The witch bowed her head deeply to the boy and said, "I will never forget this favor. If you encounter any trouble in the future, please tell me."

Rhodes swallowed the bitter coffee and waved his hand: "No need.

I heard from Bavanshi that the witch is the savior who is busy saving the world and suppressing disasters.

A busy person like you shouldn't have time to deal with the trivial matters of us little people, right?

You don't have to feel guilty. I will protect Bawanshi from now on. You can rest assured now, okay? Witch-sama."

The boy's words were full of aggression.

Thinking of the harsh treatment Bawanshi received in the goblin village, Rhodes felt that it was closely related to the neglect of the woman in front of him.

So even though she had a silly face that matched Rhode's sexual preferences, he couldn't agree with her.

Humph, I don’t acknowledge that you are Altria!

You are nothing but a hypocrite indulging in the actions of the messenger of justice!

Are you feeling complacent because you think you are superior to other scumbag fairies?

Today, let me tear off your mask of vanity and reveal your true face!

“…About this matter.”

Facing Rhodes' aggressive taunting, Jian did not get angry, but spoke calmly.

"Even though I just met you, I can deeply feel your concern for Bawanxi. But Mr. Rhodes, I have an unwelcome request..."

"I reject."

“I want you to hand over Bhavanshi to me.

Hehe...don't look at me like this, I'm actually still very strong. Ordinary disasters can't hurt me at all.

Let me take care of Bawanshi, it will be safer, right?"

"No."

"Britain is changing in a way that has not happened for thousands of years.

I think it will not be long before this island has true peace.

My journey will be completely over by then, so I want to take this opportunity to bring Bawanshi into the team and let her stay by my side."

Rhodes put the coffee cup back on the dining table, looked at Jian, and spoke word by word.

"Don't even think about it."

"........."

The blonde witch lowered her gloomy face.

"...you rude fellow.

Because you protected Jian, I tolerated you in every way, but you kept pushing your limits..."

The girl clenched her fists on the table and her shoulders began to tremble violently.

"Wuwuwuwuwu, my patience with you has reached its limit!"

The anger rising from the blonde witch even filled the entire restaurant, causing Bavanshi, who was immersed in the delicious food, to raise her head tremblingly.
