My mother's love song

He looked to be around twenty-five years old at most, with a handsome face filled with a refreshing smile and dark, clear pupils revealing a gentle gaze.

In contrast to his beautiful appearance and graceful temperament, he has a slender figure, which is even taller than Sakata Kintoki, probably about two meters tall.

He is not only tall but also strong and powerful. His physique does not give people a sense of dullness or oppression. Instead, he has the agility and sharpness of a wild beast. He is truly an incredible person.

Even Rhodes, who always hated handsome men and had very high standards, found it difficult to find any faults with him.

The only problem, the biggest problem, is probably his name.

This affable young monk, the man's name is

"Hello. It's been a long time since I last met you, Lord Ashiya Doman." Xiangzi responded to the other party's greeting very politely.

Rhodes: “………………”

The monk named Doman spoke.

"Mr. Xiangzi, I rarely see you go out. This is probably the first time I see you outside the Forbidden City. Are you out looking for materials today?"

Xiangzi said, "Yes, I'm sorry to make you laugh. I've recently encountered a bottleneck in writing a story, so I wanted to take advantage of the days when I don't have palace affairs to go out and have a look, hoping to get some inspiration from the daily lives of the people. How about you, Lord Daoman?"

Daoman said: "The reason why I left the Forbidden City today is that I was commissioned to help repair the barrier for the school in the capital. The barrier that was previously set up is too old and has reached the point where it must be re-laid."

Hearing this, Xiangzi said with a touched face: "I see... This kind of thing should be done by the Onmyoji. The work of guarding Heian Palace alone is already very difficult, and you still take time out of your busy schedule to personally benefit the people.

As expected of you! Master Daoman, who is praised by the public as a man of great compassion and mercy who saves the people and the world!!!"

Rhodes: “……………………”

"You are really too kind, Master Xiangzi. I am unworthy of your praise. I think I have only done what I can do... I am sorry for the insolence."

Ashiya Doman suddenly came in front of Fujiwara Kaori.

"Master Daoman?"

"Mr. Xiangzi, there seems to be some foul air attached to your back." Daoman said seriously.

"Why!!!"

When Xiangzi heard this, her shoulders began to tremble.

"Please stay like this and don't move."

As he said this, Daoman stretched out his slender fingers and drew a pentagram rune in the air in front of Xiangzi.

A flash of bluish-white light enveloped Fujiwara Kaori.

Xiangzi looked at Daoman's operation in amazement and exclaimed: "This is... exorcism.

No, you are indeed a rare Onmyoji. You can easily remove the evil spirits without even lighting the Homa Talisman!"

Ashiya Doman said, "Okay, that's fine. Lady Xiangzi, this is unacceptable. You actually brought such bad luck into the forbidden area.

But please rest assured, I have removed it in time, and it is not something very dangerous."

Fujiwara Kaori was flustered and looked like she was about to cry: "How could such a thing happen? What on earth did I do... I am so, so sorry!

Even though he only knew the basics, he had received guidance from Lord Seimei, so he didn't notice it at all... But it was true that what Lord Doman had just expelled was the strange resentment and foul black energy that was wandering around Kyoto at night!

I’m really…really…so sorry…!!!”

She lowered her head and peeked at Ashiya Doman's reaction, then said tremblingly, "Doman-sama, um...if it's possible, can I report this matter to the Taoist..."

Michimitsu said in a kind and calm tone: "Don't tell the Left Minister Fujiwara no Michinaga about this, right... Don't worry, I will keep it a secret."

"That's great! ... Oh no, thank you so much! Thank you, Master Mage!"

Fujiwara Kaori lowered her shoulders as if relieved and let out a long sigh.

Then she said something like, "I have been feeling unusually sore in my shoulders for the past few days. It turns out it was because of the foul air. Now I feel much better."

Rhodes, who was observing the two of them from the side, secretly thought: No, I think the root cause of your shoulder pain should be this pair of huge breasts.

Ashiya Michiman continued, "Lady Kaori... no, Lady Murasaki Shikibu, have you encountered any strange things in the dark night recently?"

"........."

Hearing his question, Xiangzi immediately thought of something. She first shook her head in denial and then nodded vigorously in affirmation.

"No, I haven't been out at night recently... Ah! Right! Right! It must be because I encountered some weird resentment at night, that's it!"

She couldn't tell anyone about having a banquet with the Ghost King of Oeyama in her own home, even if she was beaten to death!

Fujiwara Kaori immediately thought of changing the subject.

She pushed Rhodes in front of Ashiya Doman and said, "Master Mage, if possible, please help this child get rid of the bad aura!"

"..."

Ashiya Doman and Rhodes' obsidian eyes met.

They didn't speak to each other. Xiangzi beside them felt a little strange: "Master Daoman?"

After a while, Ashiya Doman smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Murasaki Shikibu, there is no foul smell left on this child."

Daoman did not sense any strange or foul aura from Rhodes.

Although it has the aura of a living being, it seems to be harmless to humans, so there will be no problem if it is left alone.

"...So that's how it is. Now I feel relieved." Xiangzi said, stroking her chest.

Daoman said: "Excuse me, who is this..."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce you to you! I'm so sorry!"

Xiangzi clapped her hands happily as she said this.

She turned to the beautiful boy next to her, with an expression as if she wanted to brag about her boyfriend to others.

"Genji, an idler who has been staying at Kaori's house lately."

Before Xiangzi could explain further, Rod introduced himself with a smiling expression.

It was more like a mocking sneer than a smile.

If compared with Daoman's kind face, he looks even worse.

If it were any other time, Murasaki Shikibu would definitely be able to sense that the boy was abnormal, but right now she was immersed in the cool plot of "being caught by colleagues from the company while on a date with her handsome boyfriend" and couldn't extricate herself.

Xiangzi smiled and said, "Mr. Guang, this is Master Ashiya Doman, who succeeded Master Qingming as the head of the Onmyoji. He is a very, very powerful Onmyoji."

Ashiya Michiman.

The Onmyoji of the Heian period was also known as Doma Master and Monk Doman.

In legends, he usually appears as the enemy of Abe Haruaki, the most powerful Onmyoji in Japanese history.

In the FGO world, he appears as one of the three apostles of the alien god, and planned the 1.5.3 Shimosa Province Heroic Swordsman incident, chaos and evil within chaos and evil.

Of course, the Ashiya Doman that Rhodes knew was not quite the same as the living Doman in front of him.

In FGO, Doman Ashiya is probably an Alterego high-level servant who was created by having the evil spirit base sewn together by an alien god. In Heian-kyō, Doman Ashiya was a model monk who was as compassionate as a bodhisattva, according to what Rod saw and heard during the few months he lived here.

According to Murasaki Shikibu, her master Abe Haruaki suddenly disappeared from Kyoto some time ago, leaving only a letter arranging work, hoping that Ashiya Doman would take over his position in the palace.

So Ashiya Doman here should be the one leading the Onmyoji Ryo in place of Abe Haruaki, and is currently in charge of the protection of the entire Heian Palace...that's why Kaori, who works in the palace, knows him.

"Your Excellency Genji."

Ashiya Doman whispered Rod's name.

"You are the Lord of Light who has become a household name in the capital recently... You are indeed a beautiful boy with a brilliant appearance as the rumors say.

Seeing you today is indeed as good as the reputation it is said to be. I am honored to see you. "

"What's wrong with my appearance?"

The boy who had been silent all of a sudden spoke.

"what?"

"Judging others by their appearance is the work of mediocre people."

Rhode looked at Daoman with a meaningful look, and said with a bored face: "Those who only follow the ideas of mediocre people are even more foolish than mediocre people...

Now I feel relieved. You are more boring than I thought, Daoman."

"..."

Daoman's brows twitched slightly.

The expression on that always amiable face gradually froze.

"Really? Really! Lord Light! What are you talking about with Lord Daoman, whom you just met for the first time? This is so rude!"

Murasaki Shikibu glanced at Rhodes with resentment, and quickly bowed to Doman to apologize: "I'm sorry! My Lord Light may have been influenced by the novel, and he is at that age [middle school] recently... Please don't take it to heart, Lord Doman!"

"...No, I don't take it to heart."

It took Daoman a long time to come back to his senses from his dazed expression, and he said after regaining his refreshing smile.

"Shouldn't we judge a person by his appearance? It makes sense.

A man as outstanding as Lord Genji must be very unhappy that his appearance is always the only thing that matters to others.

I was not thoughtful in what I said, I hope you can forgive me."

"No, no, that's not the point... Lord Doman. You are the one who shouldn't take the Lord of Light's innocent joke to heart."

Daoman smiled and said, "No, Master Genji's teaching is very good. I appreciate your teaching."

"Humph." Rhodes turned his head away without any appreciation.

"Lord of Light!" Xiangzi pulled his arm and puffed up her cheeks cutely.

What happened to the usually gentle Lord of Light today? Why is he so aggressive?

Ah... I see! He must be jealous!

Xiangzi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: Lord Guang must have misunderstood the relationship between me and Lord Daoman, which is why he showed such an attitude towards Lord Daoman!

Murasaki Shikibu felt very happy and smiled sweetly: Huhuhuhu...what a cute child.

Daoman said: "But now I finally understand why I always feel that you exude a very happy atmosphere when I pass by you in the palace recently.

I guess it was because of that atmosphere that I didn’t notice the foul smell on you.”

"Huh?" Xiangzi blinked. Is that so?

"Ah."

Daoman smiled and said, "The reason why Lady Xiangzi is so happy every day must be because of Lord Genji."

"…………?oops!"

Understanding the profound meaning of the monk's words, Fujiwara Kaori covered her mouth and her beautiful and dignified face suddenly turned red.

She covered half of her face, peeking at Rhode's reaction, and yelled, "Hateful! What are you talking about! And in front of the person involved!

Lord of Light, please don’t listen to Daoman’s nonsense, I have always been like this... woohoo."

……

……

……

After saying goodbye to Ashiya Doman, Fujiwara Kaori naturally took Rod's hand.

"The Lord of Light is acting very abnormal today."

"Really? I think I'm normal today."

"No, the Lord of Light is very abnormal today... It reminds me of the time when I met the Lord of Light just now."

Xiangzi tilted her head and said, "At that time, he was also more radical than the gentle Lord of Light now, or more...

Well, I can’t really describe that feeling, but it’s different from the current Lord of Light’s aura.”

"I see."

Rhodes felt the wonderful touch of the girl's fingers on his palm and nodded.

"I was probably in a period of confusion at that time... I came to Heian-kyō alone and felt a little overwhelmed about my future life.

Then, the person who appeared in front of me at this time and provided me with help was you, Miss Xiangzi."

"Lord of Light..."
