My mother's love song

At this time, he desperately wanted the witch's support and affirmation, rather than this kind of indifferent treatment.

If possible, I hope Jian can praise herself for her noble spirit of giving up the blissful harem life and devoting herself to her career.

Besides, even if I am 99% responsible, does that mean you are completely blameless?

Rhode frowned and said, "So didn't I say I would go with you? I will work hard from now on. What are you angry about?"

"I'm not angry."

"How can you not be angry? If you are angry, just scold me and beat me up, and I will accept it, instead of being sarcastic to me like this!"

Jian stopped and put his hands on his hips: "I said I'm not angry, so I'm not angry! What should I be angry about?"

"Small-minded..."

"What did you say?"

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

They both turned away angrily with their arms folded, and Bawanshi, caught in the middle, was in a dilemma.

"Rod... Ash..."

In the end, none of the three spoke any more and they walked silently in the dense forest.

In such a terrible team atmosphere, they walked for a day.

As it was getting dark, Rhodes noticed something was wrong.

Logically speaking, they had been walking in the forest for a whole day and should have reached the vicinity of the Dark Swamp.

But along the way, let alone the swamps, even after climbing over several mountains, the same green color was seen everywhere.

There is no possibility that we took a detour through Lake Britain, because the Dark Swamp is an area where the stench can be smelled within a kilometer radius, so there is no possibility that we would have lost it.

"What on earth is going on, witch lady?"

After they found a vacant lot and built a campfire for camping, Rhodes asked Jian, who had led the way during the day.

"What's going on?"

Jian sat two meters away, holding Ba Wanshi next to him, with the campfire between him and Rhodes, showing the distance between them.

Rhodes asked, "Aren't we going to Norwich? We have been walking for a day and still haven't left the forest. Are you lost?"

"Return to Norwich?" Ash sneered, "When did I ever say anything like that?

Next we will go directly to the territory of the Northern King's Clan. We can rest assured that the southern part will be left to Tetrot and Hector. Unlike someone else, they will not forget their mission.

Queen Mab's territory is not far from here, and it should only take a day to get there."

Rhodes was surprised: "What are you talking about... Why didn't you discuss such an important matter with me?"

The witch asked, "You didn't discuss this with me when you were having a good time in the Mirror Clan, did you?"

"Tsk..."

Rhode curled his lips and said, "Are you planning to take Bawanxi to that dangerous nomadic territory?

It's just the two of us. Can you ensure her safety? Can you take responsibility?"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Ash stood up from the ground and said, “I have decided to teach Bavanshi magic.

She will become my successor and the second witch.

Bawanshi will learn how to protect herself, so that's all right, right?"

Hearing her say this, Rhodes' mood improved a little.

The boy muttered, "What... you just copy what I do."

Rhodes also taught the Lake Girls self-defense magic in the Mirror Clan, hoping that they would learn to protect themselves.

As soon as Rod said that she imitated him, the girl immediately felt shy and anxious.

"Who copied you? I made this decision before coming here. If you don't believe me, ask Bawanshi."

"Well...that's it." Bawanshi nodded.

As expected of a combination of a king and a magician, their ideas are almost identical.

Although Rhodes and Jian both thought so in their hearts, neither of them was willing to admit it.

"Today's dinner is terrible."

Rhodes sat by the campfire, took a bite of the witch's baked potatoes, and complained: "It's far worse than the dishes of the Mirror Clan."

"..."

Jian looked like a devil with an angry expression on his face.

She was even angrier now than when she caught Rhodes cheating at the silver party.

"Huh? Didn't you praise the potatoes I cooked in Oxford for being very British?"

"How on earth can you take that as a compliment?" Rhodes sneered.

By the way, British style refers to the home-cooked food made by Boudica.

British cuisine refers to the result of the Victorian era, when with the Industrial Revolution and the rise of capitalism, the British gave up spending time on cooking and focused on French fries and cod in their fast-paced lifestyle.

Rhodes just wanted to pick a fight with Jian.

"You little brat..." The blonde witch gritted her teeth.

"Don't be too angry, Aunt Ash. If she faints again like before, it will be me and Bavanshi who will be in trouble."

"Goooo..."

As a result, the fairy from Paradise, who was no match for Rhodes in bickering, could only vent his anger on the baked potato in his hand.

After dinner, Jian began to teach Bawanxi magic by the fire, while Rhodes sat on the ground and maintained his beloved sword, Primal Flame.

"Hey, Bawanshi. Can I teach you swordsmanship?"

"what?"

The girl who was practicing strengthening magic under Ash's instruction put down the branch in her hand.

Rhode responded to Ash who was also looking at him, and said, "Martial arts are more useful than magic, right? Because you see, the strongest clan in Britain is also the Fang Clan.

In the face of absolute power, magic is nothing but a circus.

Bawanxi, don't learn any useless magic. I will teach you the strongest martial arts... Swordsmanship is a good thing, right?

You see, Tetrot is much smaller than you, but he is already a capable warrior. The same goes for Hector. Without them, the Savior can do nothing.

Give up Ash and become my heir."

"……Well."

Bawanshi thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Rhodes. I really want to learn magic from the witch.

My body is weak, and my brain is also weak...but it is more suitable for me to protect myself with magic than to hurt others with weapons."

Besides, I don't want to be Rhodes' successor... the girl thought secretly.

After she said this, Jian immediately smiled victoriously and hugged Bawanxi.

“That’s right! You are worthy of being my Bawanshi! Hehehe, you made the right choice.

Good boy, yoshiyoshiyoshiyoshiyoshi..."

While patting the girl's head, the witch kept casting provocative glances at Rhodes.

"Is that so? In that case, let me prove it... that swordsmanship is more useful than magic."

Rhodes stood up from the ground holding the Primordial Fire.

"...?"

Ash, who was holding Bawanshi, blinked.

Rhode was seen walking towards them, dragging a scarlet sword that was taller than his height.

The murderous aura emanating from the young man made the bonfire burn more and more fiercely in the middle of the night.

"Wait, Nero...what are you going to do..."

Suddenly, Jian's body began to tremble violently.

Rhode stood in front of the two girls without saying a word, his elongated shadow covering their bodies sitting on the ground.

"Wait, wait... don't mess around..."

Jian raised his head and watched Rhodes raise the Primordial Fire above his head with one hand.

"Wait... I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone against you... I'm sorry... Please, don't do this."

The witch held Bawanshi's head in her arms, begging for mercy while lowering her head in fear and curling up her body.

Rhodes waved down the Primordial Fire without any emotion.

Then, screams rang out in the forest at night.

"■■■■■■■■■!"

Morse, who was attracted by the bonfire and appeared behind Ash and Bawanshi, was cut in half by Rhodes. He fell down screaming and shaking.

"There are still some. Ash...Bavanshi is left to you."

Leaving these words behind, Rhodes quickly walked past the two of them and joined the battle with other Mors.

It took about half a minute for Rhodes to kill all the black algae monsters.

"What did I say? A sword is more useful, right? Ash?"

When Rhodes returned to the campfire, he was surprised to find that Jian was crying in Bawanxi's arms.

The fairy from paradise who always looked optimistic no matter what happened was actually crying.

"…What happened?"

Rhodes came to them and squatted down, while Bawanshi shook her head in confusion.

It seemed like he had been crying since just now.

“Ash.”

Rod put his hand on her shoulder and called her name.

The next moment, Jian threw himself into Rhodes' arms and gently punched his chest with his fist.

"Idiot... wuwu... go to hell... wuwu..."

He cried and cursed incoherently.

"Why are you doing this...why are you trying to scare me...go to hell...go to hell..."

The witch's body and fist were so light that Rhodes could hardly feel their weight, but her crying penetrated deeply into the boy's chest.

"I'm sorry, Ash. I shouldn't have made such a joke."

Rhode hooked his arms around her waist, stroked her hair, and kept comforting her in her ears.

It took a long time for Ash to regain his composure.

The fairy of paradise, with tears on her face, raised her head from the boy's arms.

"Can you tell me what happened? Ah...it's okay if you don't want to tell me." Rhodes said.

Ash shook his head, then nodded.

She tightly grasped the boy's clothes, which were a mess due to her crying, sat on his lap and began to tell her story.

"I told you before... for 3600 years, I have been touring Britain as the Savior.

Get rid of the [disaster] that occurs once every hundred years, and exorcise the [great disaster] that occurs once every thousand years... Although I said before that after eliminating the disaster, I would return to the coffin and sleep... In fact, it is not like that.

I lied... I have always been chased and rejected by the goblins after completing the purification.

There was never any so-called peaceful time. I just ran away from the attacks of the goblins and fell asleep.

At first I may have had the idea of ​​'building an ideal country', but now I no longer have such an idea.
