My mother's love song

After all, our FGO's true heroine, Ms. Miyamoto Musashi, would actually lose and be killed instantly. This was a result that Rhode could never have expected in advance.

I want to say that I am here to hug someone’s thigh, not to be a thigh!

At this time, Musashi suddenly asked: "By the way, Master, why did you lose me just now?"

"........."

I couldn't bring myself to say that I was so engrossed in playing with Musashi's clothes that I lost him.

"Well, let's just let bygones be bygones. Let's work together from now on."

Rhode avoided the girl's gaze and changed the subject: "Iori-kun, was there anything that concerned you during the battle with that guy?"

"Things that matter."

After Musashi lowered his head to think for a while, he looked up and said, "Hey... Master, have you heard of the legend of the big weird cow ghost?"

Hearing this name, Rhodes' heart skipped a beat.

Ushi-oni is a very famous monster in Japanese legend.

It usually lives by the sea or in the forest. Its head is in the shape of a cow, and its body is like a giant spider or crab.

According to local legend, Minamoto no Raikou once sent Watanabe Tsuna, one of the Four Heavenly Kings who conquered Ibaraki Douji, to defeat the rebellious Ushio-Oni, but Watanabe Tsuna failed to complete his mission this time, and in the end it was Minamoto no Raikou who personally took action to defeat the monster.

As a monster, the Ushio-Oni has a very high status in Japan, probably second only to the white-faced, golden-haired nine-tailed fox.

For example, in "Naruto", the strongest tailed beast after the Nine-Tails is the Eight-Tails Gyu-ki.

Of course, there are many differences between the Type-Moon world and Rhodes' original world.

Here, the cow ghost was first called this by people.

The Ox-Headed Heavenly King, [Ugly Gozen].

he is……

No, her real identity is actually

"..."

After a moment of silence, Rhodes looked at Musashi deeply and said, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"Although I can no longer remember what the other person looks like, I am very sure of one thing."

Musashi said with a serious expression: “I saw… the guy who attacked me had a pair of big horns of a cow.

Chapter 646 My Ugly Mom

Rod and Musashi continue their work of tracking down the killer ghost on the streets.

After simple treatment and care, Musashi's dying body has basically recovered. Although she is not seriously injured, she made a coquettish request at this time.

"...Hehehe, you're a boy after all. You're reliable at times like this."

The sweet voice of the beautiful swordsman blew into Rhodes' ears, and a heavy yet soft and wonderful pressure came from behind him.

At this moment, a girl was lying on his back with her arms tightly around his neck. In other words, Miyamoto Musashi was now being carried by Rod.

So lucky!

Musashi was secretly delighted.

I originally thought that I was extremely unlucky tonight, but I was able to make back all the money I had earned in one go thanks to Master's help.

Phew. It's incredible, so exciting to have a boy who is almost 20cm shorter than me carry me on his back...

Musashi rested his chin on Rhodes' shoulder, staring at the shaking ground, feeling the heat and strength from the beautiful boy's hands that were supporting his thighs.

"I say, Master, where are we going next? Do you already have a clue about our target?"

Rhodes shook his head.

Considering that the guy had already fought with Musashi once tonight, it is very likely that she hid herself when she saw the situation was not right and will not take any action again.

Fortunately, Rhodes had prepared for this. He set up a tracking magic spell on the clothes he gave to Musashi.

"Huh!? Is that true? When did you use magic on me? How come I didn't know about it!"

Musashi asked in surprise, then she seemed to remember something and looked at a stone hanging around her waist.

In the center of the chalky stone, mysterious words unknown to the girl were carved, emitting a faint glow in the deep night.

Musashi originally thought that this was just a decoration on the kimono, but now he finally realized what was going on.

"This, could it be a rune stone...?"

"Well, that's it. Otherwise, why do you think I would trust you with such an important job?"

This rune stone has the ability to record enemy units. From the moment the enemy attacked Musashi, the enemy had already been locked by Rhodes.

Next, Rhodes will take Musashi to the killer's hiding place.

"As expected of you, you're quite insidious... It turns out you've already made double preparations.

However, I have a subtle feeling that you don’t trust me... Master?"

"Ah, um."

Rod muttered.

Musashi noticed that there was something wrong with the boy from the beginning.

After he heard himself describe the enemy's characteristics as having a pair of horns, he seemed like a different person.

He is taciturn and looks absent-minded even at the critical moment.

I was expecting him to express his feelings about carrying himself.

"Um... Master, will it be heavy?"

Musashi asked cautiously, and Rod replied.

"Fortunately, Iori-chan is a healthy girl, so this weight is just right, right?"

By the way, Musashi weighs 56 kg.

He is 167cm tall and weighs 56kg. He is a power fighter with three red cards, which is extremely rare in the entire FGO.

“Hmm… that’s why it’s heavy! I’m a strong girl, I’m sorry!”

Musashi's angry voice was mixed with the desire to act coquettishly.

"Compared to skinny and weak girls, I prefer plump girls like Iori-chan. They feel great to the touch, too, hehe."

"……Varied."

Musashi's face suddenly turned red and he struggled desperately on the boy's back.

"Stupid, stupid Master, stop saying weird things! Put me down! Put me down now!"

The above conversation between the stupid duo only exists in the pink fantasy theater in Musashi's mind.

Moreover, even his hands that were in close contact with his thighs were very well-behaved and gentlemanly!

Isn't this completely different from the plot I expected?

Musashi thought angrily, As expected, I have no appeal to the Master... Sigh.

At this moment, the rune stone on the girl's waist suddenly glowed brightly.

"Hey! What's going on? Are we almost at the enemy?"

"..."

Rhodes did not answer.

When Musashi looked over, he found that the boy's expression was extremely serious.

Finally, he nodded reluctantly, as a response to Musashi's question.

"We're here. The killer Genji is hiding here." Rhodes said in a bitter voice.

"That's it!"

Musashi, who was lying on the boy's back, raised his head and observed the building that appeared not far away.

"Wow...what an amazing mansion."

Musashi gasped.

Although Fujiwara Kaori's house was considered luxurious, it was nothing compared to the mansion in front of him.

It was a mansion full of solemn style.

Huge and majestic, it exudes an unparalleled presence in the night, standing proudly in the center of the thousand-year-old Heian-kyo.

"Collect the team. Go back."

Rhodes suddenly whispered something, then turned around and returned the same way with Musashi on his back.

Musashi, of course, started to yell, "Huh? What are you thinking about, Master!

We have already chased him here, and we are finally able to catch him, and you actually want to go back!? Let’s rush in at once!”

Rhodes said calmly, "That's enough. We already know the guy's address. We have already exceeded the mission target. There is no need to do it tonight."

"But……"

"You're not in a position to fight at full strength yet, are you? So I'll stop here for tonight."

Rhodes said in an unquestionable tone: "This is the Master's order."

Musashi was speechless.

It was the first time she saw her Master show such a reaction.

Rhodes, who was always brave, resolute, arrogant and yet always calm, actually chose to turn around and said he wanted to rest for a while.

Musashi felt very puzzled.

The Rhodes she knew was not someone who would make such a choice.

Could it be that... Master really cares about my health?

Musashi thought so.

Well, that's the only explanation for now.

"I'm sorry, I'm holding the master back."

"Don't say that, Musashi. Have a good rest when you go back." Rhodes' voice was very calm.

"I accept your good words."

Musashi looked back at the killer's residence with lingering eyes, blinked, and said with emotion: "Could it be that the guy we are tracking is actually the eldest daughter of a particularly powerful noble family?"

It is really unbelievable that such a mansion exists in Kyoto where every inch of land is valuable... No, it can't be much different even compared to the Imperial Palace, right?

Rhodes also agreed with the amazement he could read in Musashi's expression.

It was natural for her to be surprised, and it was normal for her to find it spectacular.

After all, this is the mansion where Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the head of the Genji clan, lives.

……

……

……

Two days later.

On a sunny afternoon, Rhodes was sitting alone in the huge reception room of Genji's mansion.

He stared intently at the authentic Chinese painting hanging on the wall, while on the table in front of him was a cup of smoking, boiling tea.

Rhodes was the only one in the entire reception room, and it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

But that is just the realm of mortals.

If you open the magic circuit and strengthen your senses to the limit, you will be able to hear the whispers of the maids on the other side of the wall.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't that the child that Master Lai Guang brought back earlier?"

"Yeah, why did he come here suddenly today? Isn't Master Lai Guang with him?"
