My mother's love song

"is it?"

Rhodes stared at her suspiciously, and Xiangzi avoided his gaze.

"Mr. Guang, isn't it time for you to go out? It would be bad to keep Miss Shonagon waiting for too long."

"Yeah, that's true... I'm leaving now."

Rhodes walked out of the entrance hall under Xiangzi's gaze, passed through the garden of the mansion, passed through the gate, and came to the street.

"What? It's like a remote control is being pressed."

……

……

……

In the evening, Rhodes and Qingzi met on the crowded avenue.

"Hey, Hikari no Kisara! You're a shining beautiful boy today too! All the girls on the street are staring at you!"

Rhodes sighed: Don't say this out loud, they are all staring at you with murderous eyes.

"By the way, what are you wearing?"

Rhodes looked at the beautiful girl with long black hair wearing a shrine maiden costume and holding a red umbrella.

"You're talking about this. This child is the weapon I will use when I appear at the Genji Festival."

Sei Shonagon said this while waving the red umbrella in her hand siu~siu~siu~.

"Hey! Yo! Watch out, Ping An Beam!!!"

No laser cannon was fired.

Rhodes glanced at her amused look, turned around and walked towards the temple at the end of the avenue: "Then let's go."

"Oh! Please go easy on me during today's secret training, Light Dear!"

Sei Shonagon followed.

Lately, Rhodes often went out with Qingzi at night. It wasn't because there were any insect fighting events in the capital, but actually to help her train in combat.

"Since I've signed up for the Genji Festival, I want to become stronger!"

Having said this, Kiyoko found Rhodes and asked him to give her special training.

"Light's Kin is very strong, right? Super! So teach me fighting skills, and I'll treat you to some yokan!"

"Why do you think so?"

"Because your face says 'I'm the best in the world!'"

Kiyoko said, "It's really annoying, but since Hikari is so pleasing to the eye, I will especially forgive you!"

Rhode rolled his eyes: "...I mean, why do you think you can buy me off with just some yokan?"

"Oh... no?"

Sei Shonagon held up Rhodes' hand and looked at him with the rare eyes of a pitiful girl.

"Light's dear, do you want to watch your only best friend being beaten up by a rude man?"

Quite thoughtful.

The girl frowned and shouted: "Ah! Too much, you must have been thinking "I really want to" in your heart just now!"

"Who told you to sign up for the competition when you know you can't fight? You deserve it."

"Well... if Hikari-no-Kami thinks so, then I will bring joy to everyone with my death at the Genji Festival...

Goodbye, Your Highness Dingzi!

Goodbye, even though I didn’t save you, I still regard you as my relative, Lord of Light~"

"..."

Rhodes hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said: "Okay. I will teach you some fighting skills."

...By the way, who is His Highness Teiko?

Sei Shonagon hugged Rhodes tightly.

"Great! I love you so much, Hikari no Kiss! My best friend! From now on you can call me Noko! Mua!"

He really kissed me, even though it was just on the cheek.

But if Xiangzi saw it, it would be the end of him, Rhodes felt.

Qingzi hugged his arm and asked, "Why did Hikari suddenly change his mind?"

Because if I don't agree, I might be annoyed to death by you.

In terms of mobility, Kiyoko might even be superior to the two female ghosts in Oeyama.

Incidentally.

Ever since that night, when Ibaraki Douji's butt was spanked by Rod until it became almost the same size as Xiangzi's breasts, he never came to cause trouble again.

"Although I really want to send you to claim credit, I don't know why I haven't seen Raikou recently, so I'll let you go tonight."

Recently, Minamoto no Raikou has been locking himself at home. It is true that Rod wanted to play with her but was rejected several times.

But giving Ibaraki Douji to the demon hunter was a lie. After all, she was the sworn brother of the daughter of Rhode's sworn brother.

Although it doesn't matter if rounded off, the time when Shuten and Ibaraki dominated Mount Oe as the king of the mountain duo reminded Rhodes of the time he spent in Kamishiro Japan.

Just as Shuten and Ibaraki attacked Kyoto several times, Rod and Yamata no Orochi also went to Takama-ga-hara many times to steal the divine wine from the mother wolf [Amaterasu].

Rhode held the demon horn and warned the tearful and trembling Ibaraki Douji: "Little demon, if you dare to contact the people around me and think about doing something bad to them... Hehe, you know the consequences, right?"

"I understand! I understand!"

At that time, Ibaraki Douji nodded his head like a rattle.

Although Rhode didn't think that this fellow with [Regroup A] could really understand what he said and never cause trouble again, at least he should be able to live in peace for the near future.

...By the way, who is Nuozi?

Sei Shonagon said: "By the way, since this is a [Secret Special Training], Hikari-no-Kami can't tell anyone, okay? Not even your family members!"

"Why is it a [Secret] special training?"

Rhodes asked, is there anything shameful between us?

Qingzi looked very proud: "Because the word [Secret Training] is very sensible! It sounds very cool! The pronunciation is very beautiful!"

Well, that’s indeed a very Sei Shonagon-style answer.

So they went out every evening and did not return home until late at night.

Qingzi would be tortured by Rod until she was sweating profusely every day, but she had no complaints, as if she could get happiness from the boy's Spartan-style training.

But Rhodes was very curious about one thing.

When Kiyoko returned home every day with her clothes soaking wet, her parents would ask their daughter what she did every night, and she would answer "It's a secret☆~", the reaction of the Kiyohara parents.

……

……

……

By the time they finished their daily training for the day, it was already dark and the streets were becoming sparsely populated.

Rhodes glanced at Qingzi, whose cheeks were red and whose neck was covered with sweat, and spoke.

"It's getting late. I'll take you back."

"Why……?"

Hearing this, Sei Shonagon opened his eyes wide and trembled.

Rhode frowned and said, "Why are you making such an unbelievable expression? Did I just say something unbelievable?"

"Oh my, the usually cold Hikari-no-Kami actually said he would take me home or something... My sweat smells so good... Gurg!"

Qingzi groaned and fell down, holding her abdomen.

Rhodes unclenched his fist and thought: It's okay to consider this guy a female ghost, right?

"I heard that a serial killer has appeared in the city recently, and I'm a little worried. And..."

There was always a bad premonition lingering in his heart.

Chapter 640: The Crown Succubus Kills

It was late at night, and two figures, one tall and one short, were walking on the avenue bidding farewell to the hustle and bustle.

The girl held a bright red umbrella in her hand, which she opened and turned from time to time, and waved in the air from time to time, muttering strange spells.

The young man walked steadily behind her, his hands hidden in his furisode.

Recently, Rod has a Japanese sword on his waist when he goes out. This is a gift that Qingzi bought him as a reward for accompanying her in special training.

In the Type-Moon world, Japanese swords are usually not considered as Noble Phantasms, they are just sharper weapons.

For example, the two most famous swords in Japanese history, Minamoto no Raikou's "Dojikiri Yasutsuga" and Okita Souji's "Kikuimonji" are not their treasures.

The Noble Phantasms of Samurai Servants are often derived from their martial arts.

Similarly, the knife on Rhodes' waist was just ordinary iron with good workmanship. It would be shattered into pieces as long as he exerted a little force.

However, with the intention of adapting to local customs and experiencing the fun of life, Rhodes decided to use the sword as his main weapon in Heian-kyo.

The surroundings were excessively dark and quiet, but it was obvious that Sei Shonagon was not the type of woman who would calm down because of the surrounding atmosphere.

"Hey, hey, hey, Hikari-kun! Let's talk!"

Rhode nodded: "Sure. Anyway, we can kill time, so I'll chat with you until I send you home."

Qingzi said: "Then I'll go first."

"What comes first? In your worldview, is chatting a turn-based battle?"

After spending a long time with Sei Shonagon, even Rod himself was deeply influenced and became talkative.

She was able to subtly influence Beast's spirit. She is truly a terrifying woman who should not be underestimated!

Sei Shonagon blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "By the way, does Hikari-no-Kin have someone he likes in this capital?"

...It's a really blatant question.

"There is Nuo." said Rhodes.

Qingzi laughed at him, "How precocious! What a cocky kid!"

Rhodes raised his clenched right fist with a cold face. Sei Shonagon immediately showed a frightened expression and covered his abdomen reflexively.

"I'm just kidding... Hahaha, you can't hit girls, Hikari no Kisara. Boys shouldn't use their strength on things like this, right?"

"..."

Indeed, I have become a little irritable recently and have become violent towards women.

Although it was their fault for being annoying, it is definitely not a good habit.

Seeing Rhodes put down his fist, she immediately regained her spirits.

"What kind of person does Hikari no Masamune like? Ah. Don't tell me, give me some clues and let me guess!"

After thinking for a while, Rod began to try to describe the images of Murasaki Shikibu and Minamoto no Raikou to Kiyoko in words.

"First, have long, beautiful hair."

Sei Shonagon pinched her chin and said, "Oh, it seems that Hikari no Chika is a classicist. As expected, men like women with long hair regardless of their age... I got an inspiration! I'll record it down."

What inspiration is it for? Rhodes continued, "The second is a handsome face and a gentle and noble temperament."

"Everyone likes this kind of girl. It's so unoriginal, Hikari no Kiss."

"What kind of answer do you expect to hear from me? A girl with three heads and six arms?"

Rod was annoyed by her constant comments, so he decided to end the topic.

"Then, on top of that, big tits and a big ass that can give birth to lots of kids."
