My mother's love song

Nuozi thought with a subtle expression: Could it be that I am the legal wife and a woman as outstanding as Miss Hongye can only be a concubine? I am so sorry!

"I admire Sei Shonagon's straightforward personality. I think it's not just me, but the master himself must be the same."

"a ha ha ha……"

Nuozi scratched her hair in embarrassment: "I am often lectured by my family because of my personality... On the other hand, I envy Hongye."

"Are you jealous of me?" The ghost girl Hongye frowned.

Uh-huh.

Sei Shonagon nodded, “Momiji-chan is a very strong woman.

Unlike me who always likes to act cute to Hikari no Chika and always wants to ask him for help when I encounter problems, a woman like you is the one who can truly support Hikari no Chika behind the scenes. "

"That's not true. The master is a perfect and flawless person and does not need my support."

The ghost girl Hongye said calmly: "A woman like you who can bring him happiness is the model of a good wife."

"That's not the case... But thank you anyway, Hongye-kun, I'm really glad you think so."

Hongye said, "I feel relieved now. I was wondering if Sei Shonagon-sama disliked me.

Now it seems that this is not the case. I was too narrow-minded... I will reflect on this in the future."

"Hate? Huh? How could that be!"

Nuozi's face was filled with surprise, and she shook her head like a rattle: "How could I hate Hongye-chin? Rather, I have always wanted to be friends with Hongye-chin... By the way, if possible, please teach me to play the piano!

This way I can show off in front of Hikari and Lady Sadoko, ahahaha."

"If it's just a small matter like teaching you to play the piano, Hongye will be happy to accompany you."

"Really! That's great!"

"Yes. It is my honor to teach the art of playing the zither to a talented lady like Sei Shonagon-sama."

Noko said, "Hongye-kun...from now on, um...can you please not call me "Sei Shonagon-sama"? It feels so heavy."

"Really? That's right. We are a family from now on. This name is a bit awkward."

Hongye pinched her chin and said, "Then, may I call you Nuozi...sister?"

"Uh……"

Nuozi was stunned for a moment, then he sneaked up to the ghost girl Hongye's ear, covered his lips with his hand, and whispered to her.

"Hongye dear, don't look at me like this, I have already..."

“…Ah, is that so?”

Hongye showed a slightly surprised expression.

"I see, Lord Nozi, you are older than me."

The demon girl Momiji, who manifested as a Servant, was in her early twenties, both mentally and physically at her prime. Even if we count her life, she only lived until she was less than thirty years old before she was attacked by samurai.

No matter which standard is used to calculate age, Sei Shonagon is older than her.

“…Hehehe. I guess I look a little childish. Hikari-sama seemed to think I was the same age as him at first.”

"How could that be! You are not childish at all."

The ghost girl Hongye smiled and said, "Then from now on, please allow me to call you Nuozi... Sister?"

"Hongye-kun," Sei Shonagon said with a serious expression, "Just call me Noko."

"Good, good."

Sure enough, people still care about age, Hongye thought.

They looked at each other, and the previous estrangement and distance disappeared at this moment.

Sei Shonagon said with a smile, "Let us support Hikari-kun and Momiji-kun together from now on."

The ghost girl Hongye nodded: "Of course."

The two turned their attention back to the venue.

"Speaking of which... the agreed match time has clearly passed, and the master's opponent for this round has not yet appeared."

The demon girl Hongye discovered that only Rod was standing on the dohyo.

"Indeed, could something have happened?" Sei Shonagon also felt strange.

The ghost girl Hongye on the side crossed her legs, and the slender and plump curve of her thighs was faintly visible under the fabric of her kimono.

Any man would surrender immediately if he were clamped by this pair of powerful legs... Nuozi thought secretly.

……not good!

I've been getting more and more lustful recently! If this continues, I'll definitely attack Hikari-kun on my own initiative one day... Guwu, I have to avoid this from happening at all costs!

Sei Shonagon hurriedly flipped open the spectator's handbook and said, "Mitsu no Chika's opponent today is... I found it, it's a samurai named Sato."

"Sato?"

Hearing this name, the ghost girl Hongye frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, Hongye dear."

Hongye said, "No... Speaking of which, my Lord told me last night that he encountered a group of guys looking for trouble on the way home with Lady Xiangzi, and the man in the lead seemed to be called Sato."

"Hey! Did Hikari-kun encounter some troublemakers while dating Xiang-chan?"

The ghost girl Hongye frowned and said, "Rather than being a gangster, they are more like a group of warriors."

It was said that there were more than 20 people on the other side, who surrounded the two of them in the alley, and insisted that Rhodes stepped on their shoes on the street and demanded compensation.

"You little brat! Were you even looking at the road? You just stepped on my new shoes! How could you just walk away without saying a word?"

"what?"

Dozens of strong men surrounded Rhodes and Xiangzi.

Looking at Murasaki Shikibu, whose face turned pale with fear, Rhodes frowned and said, "I didn't step on your shoes."

"Haha? You dare to quibble! Let's see what good things you have done!"

The man who said this stretched out his feet in front of Rhodes, and his shoes were covered with food stains.

"Did you see it? Well, the evidence is irrefutable! Do you still want to deny it?"

The men behind him also echoed: "That's right! That's too much, this is Sato's favorite oden! You knocked it all over!"

"You idiot! I was talking about shoes! Shoes! You knocked over my oden and made my shoes dirty!"

“…I’m so sorry!”

Xiangzi quickly bowed to Sato and apologized.

However, Rhode's face showed no apology at all. He asked back, "Although, you just said that I stepped on your foot. How did it become that I knocked over your food?"

"Goo!"

Hearing what Rod said, Sato showed an embarrassed expression and blushed: "...That, that was my mistake! But the fact that you knocked over my oden and soiled my shoes will not change!"

Rhodes had completely understood that they were deliberately trying to blackmail him.

The boy said rudely, "You can even misremember things that happened just a few minutes ago. What's wrong with your brain capacity?"

"What did you say!"

The man roared in rage.

Around them, more and more passers-by gathered to watch the commotion.

Rhodes's dignified argument with Sato was more of a one-sided verbal insult than a theory.

At this moment, one of Sato's accomplices suddenly shouted, "Is she that Murasaki Shikibu?"

"..."

This sentence changed the expressions of Rhodes and Xiangzi.

Xiangzi showed a frightened expression, and for the first time, Rhodes' eyes revealed cunning hostility.

"I understand. In that case, let's go to the alley and talk. If we stay here, we'll be targeted by the procuratorate." The young man said calmly.

"Oh! Great! That's exactly what I want!"

Unexpectedly, Sato didn't seem to want to be watched and wanted to resolve the dispute in secret.

So a group of people entered the dark alley beside the avenue.

"How much money do you want?" Rhodes asked patiently.

"This is not about money. Do you understand? These are the shoes my late mother made for me. They are relics! I can't wear them anymore!"

Didn’t you just say that they were new shoes... Rod sighed: Forget it, my patience has almost reached its limit.

"Well...what should I do?"

As he said this, he suddenly raised his hand and without saying a word, grabbed the hand of a man who was quietly reaching out to Fujiwara Kaori's body.

Click.

That was the sound of a blunt object breaking, and half a second later, the man's scream was heard.

“Ahhh… It hurts… It hurts so much!!!”

The arm, which was as thick as a woman's waist, was easily broken and turned into a 7 shape in the boy's hand.

"…………Why."

Everyone stared at this scene in amazement, and the noisy army of extortionists suddenly became quiet and silent.

After a long while, someone yelled, "What did you do? Do you want to fight? Don't you see how many people we have? Do you think you won?"

"How to do?"

Rhodes dropped the broken arm and took a step forward.

Sato took a half step back and said in panic, "What, what should I do... You obviously soiled my shoes, what else do you want to do?"

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

Another man next to him squatted down, holding his foot. The sole of his foot, which was gently stepped on by Rhodes, was deformed as if it had been crushed by a heavy object.

"Uh……"

Sato stood there in a daze.

"What should we do?" Rhodes asked again.

"Don't, don't think you can scare me like this."

Sato's forehead was covered with sweat: "Do you think I will just let it go like this..."

"Spare their lives."

Murasaki Shikibu, the beautiful woman who had remained silent since entering the alley, pursed her lips and turned her head, whispering, "Mr. Light, please don't kill anyone."

"!"

At this time, Sato and his accomplices finally realized that the boy was not talking to them at all.

I... have never been taken seriously since the beginning.

That attitude is as if to say that their fate is no longer determined by themselves.

"understood."

Rhodes cracked his knuckles with a smile.

"Thanks to Miss Xiangzi for your kindness, you guys are able to save your life...

Well, I can only guarantee that you are still alive... As for the rest, you'd better take care of yourself."

The boy walked slowly into the line of men.

Then, screams rang out one after another.
