My mother's love song

"No, no! Stop talking! How can you trouble Lord Rhodes with such a thing! And don't mention Illya's name at this time!"

"Oh, I don't find it troublesome at all."

Rhodes said quickly, looking eager to try.

"Lord Rhodes, please shut up!"

"……Yes."

"Since Madam is unwilling to cooperate, I have my own way."

Hisau Maiya's expression returned to its cold state and she stood up from the tatami.

“Maiya, Maiya, what are you planning to do? You don’t really want Lord Rhodes to do me…”

Hisau Maiya reached for her waist.

"I will let my wife know my feelings..."

As she spoke, she actually pulled out her belt.

“…What are you doing, Maiya!?”

Hisau Maiya ignored her and unbuttoned her coat with the efficiency she usually had in battle.

In the blink of an eye, the black military uniform fell silently on the tatami.

"...???"

Irisviel and Rhodes were both stunned and looked at her speechlessly.

Although Hisau Maiya's body is not as full of mature woman's charm and noble princess temperament as Irisviel, she also has her own charm.

The well-trained arms and thighs are slender and strong, and the thin back has beautiful and winding lines, exuding healthy beauty.

Hisau Maiya slowly approached Rhodes.

She bent down and wrapped her snake-like wrists around his neck, and they both slid down onto the mattress next to Irisviel.

"Lord Rhodes, since Madam doesn't want to...then forget it."

After observing Rhodes' face up close, Hisau Maiya began to understand a little bit why Irisviel was fascinated by him.

It can be predicted that he will be a handsome man who will charm thousands of women in the future.

No... Rhode's beautiful boyish appearance with a hint of childishness was enough to make any woman fall for him. Even Hisau Maiya, who never cued men's appearance, couldn't easily look away from his face.

Hisau Maiya's emotionless cheeks felt slightly hot.

There's no way... All of this is to save Irisviel.

Well, there is absolutely no selfish motive involved!

The cold black pupils were gradually invaded by the fiery light, and Hisahi Maiya spoke softly.

"Lord Rhodes, if you don't mind... let me take your place, Madam."

……

……

……

"Well."

Rhodes is definitely not the kind of herbivore who would let a duck that comes to his door fly away.

She has a slender figure, a cold and delicate face and short black hair.

Maiya's appearance was not beautiful but decent enough, and women like her were a rare attribute in the two-dimensional world, which made Rhode want to hug her.

With his chest filled with warmth, Rhodes slowly hugged her.

"...!"

When Rod placed his hand on Hisau Maiya's back, her body trembled slightly.

"what happened?"

Through the trembling skin, Rhodes felt the uneasiness of the woman in his arms.

Hisau Maiya still had a cold expression on her face and spoke with her lips pursed.

"Well, it's been a long time since I was touched by a man, more than ten years... I'm a little uncomfortable with it, please don't mind."

"?"

Rhodes stared at her face, feeling a little confused: Aren't you having an affair with Kiritsugu?

But Maiya's expression clearly showed that she wasn't lying, and there was no need for her to lie.

So, they didn't have any physical relationship.

But this is not surprising. After all, the messenger of justice who cares about all mankind is very busy.

How can this be possible, Emiya Kiritsugu?

No matter how busy you are, you should care about the people around you. How can you ignore the PTSD of your employees?

Sigh...that's why you say Japanese men are not good enough.

Let me, a kid with no great ambitions, take over as the savior of the world and heal Maiya’s inner wounds.

Rhodes rubbed her cool face with his nose and spoke softly.

“Maiya is very cute tonight. Let me see more of your unknown side.”

“…Hmm.”

Maybe it was because it was the first time a man praised her, and the word used was “cute”, but for the first time, Hisau Maiya’s cool poker face actually showed a faint blush.

Maiya, who had always regarded herself as a fighting tool, didn't know how to respond to Rhode's flirting. She could only tighten her arms and hug the boy's waist tighter.

Among the mixed emotions, besides nervousness and shyness, there was also apology towards Irisviel.

My wife took such good care of me, but I did this in front of her just to make her angry.

Even if this is for my wife,

******************************

"...Woo."

After seeing Rod praising Maiya for being cute, Irisviel gave her a look of burning jealousy.

Oh, Rhode never praised me for being cute once...!?!?

Thinking of this, the Winter Princess looked like she was about to cry.

However, Rhodes no longer had the chance to see her expression, because Hisahi Maiya held the boy's face and kissed him on the lips.

Ahhh…Rod’s lips.

Irisviel swallowed, having a subtle feeling as if something precious had been taken away from her.

at this time.

While kissing Rhodes, Hisahi Maiya turned her head and glanced at Irisviel.

"...!"

There was a gleam in Hisau Maiya's eyes, and that was clearly a provocative look, as if she was declaring war on herself.

Irisviel's delicate body was trembling with anger, her white teeth biting tightly on her cherry-colored lips.

Lord Rhodes is obviously mine...

He clearly said that he liked me the most...

why.

Why does this happen?

Irisviel felt a lump in her throat.

It all turned out like this because I rejected Maiya's proposal out of my own sense of pride and shame...

Originally, I should be the one holding Lord Rhodes there...

Originally, I should have been the one kissing him sweetly...

"...Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."

Even if she wanted to stop the two of them, she was powerless because her hands were tied behind her back. Irisviel could only watch Hisau Maiya and Rod kissing.

Alice's eyes were filled with tears, and she let out a sob-like cry.

"I can't do anything..."

……

……

……

By the time Irisviel woke up, it was already before dawn the next day.

She seemed to have fainted last night from excessive emotion.

She found that the hemp rope that bound her upper body was gone. It must have been Hisahi Maiya who untied it for her.

"..."

In the Japanese-style room, three people lay side by side on two beds.

Irisviel turned her head and silently stared at the man and woman in the bed next to hers.

Rhode's sleeping face, with his face in Maiya's arms, looked like a baby in a cradle, enjoying the good times.

When she saw Maiya's black hair sticking to Rod's cheek in a mess, she felt as if a piece of emptiness had been added to her chest.

"...Woo."

"lady."

At this time, Hisau Maiya opened her eyes and looked into Irisviel's eyes.

“…Maiya.”

While Irisviel was confused about how to face her, Maiya gently placed Rod's head on the pillow and crawled over the boy's body towards her.

"Please follow me here, ma'am."

Hisau Maiya held Irisviel’s hand.

At Maiya’s signal, they lay down on the left and right sides of the sleeping boy.

What's going on? Is now the time to play a prank on the sleeping Rhodes...

Irisviel asked stiffly, "Maiya? I will have a good talk with Lord Rhodes today about what you said last night. But he is sleeping soundly now, so it is better for us not to disturb him."

After all, he was very tired last night... Irisviel thought resentfully as she stole a glance at Maiya’s face.

"Madam," Hisau Maiya said in a slightly teasing tone.

"Boys are creatures that will never show weakness at any time, right? Especially in the morning."

"……What's the meaning?"

Confused, Irisviel followed her gaze, and her fair face instantly blushed.

“Wait, wait…Maiya.”

"Ma'am, please follow your heart."

Irisviel swallowed, her red eyes dodged, and she glanced at Rhodes out of the corner of her eye.

"Well...but, I have never done such a thing..."

Irisviel understood what Maiya meant, but she had never put it into practice.

After all, that was a behavior she had only learned about through several Hollywood movies after she left Einzbern City and came to the outside world.

Really... Why are there always plots like this in American movies? Irisviel even complained about this to Altria at the time.

"it does not matter."

Hisau Maiya held her hand tightly and spoke with a calm expression.
