My mother's love song

"That's not the case, Lord Omikami..."

Yaobikuni wanted to say something, but when she saw the boy's expression, she fell silent.

Even if he, whom she regarded as a great being, expressed anger at his own legend, the girl would still bravely stand up and express her feelings, and tell him of his greatness that made her proud.

However, Rhodes' expression was full of loneliness and solitude.

The eight hundred nuns felt a sharp pain in their chests.

The girl placed her hands on her white silk thighs and said with her head down: "You are right. I am still not mature enough.

I thought I knew everything and was omnipotent because I could see the future. After I offended you, I finally realized my ignorance and powerlessness. "

Rhode held his chin with one hand, looked at her lazily, and said lightly: "That's not the case, you are a smart girl.

With a guy like you as my miko, I have no complaints even if you are picky.

I recognize you, and from now on I will allow you to claim to be my messenger without permission."

“………………It is so glorious!”

The eight hundred nuns trembled and expressed their gratitude.

How many years had it been since she was last called a "girl"? she thought to herself with delight.

The eight hundred nuns quietly raised their beautiful eyes and observed Rhodes' face.

After noticing that the boy seemed to be in a good mood, she bit her lip and summoned up the courage to say, "Lord Omikami, can I ask a question?"

"It doesn't matter."

After getting the approval, she expressed her confusion: "Why do you want to be active in this era under a pseudonym?"

"Just a change of mood." Rhodes replied.

“It’s just my intuition though.”

The girl said.

"Could it be that... Lord Omikami, you really hate your own name?"

To this day, Yaobikuni has never once revealed Rod's name as the god of Takama-ga-hara, but only addressed him as "Omikami-sama".

It wasn't that she didn't want to, but her intuition as a priestess with the magical power of future vision told her not to mention that name.

The aura emanating from the master made her avoid the urge to call out that name.

Why is this happening?

The eight hundred bhikkhunis were confused. It was such a glorious and great name...

"Eight hundred bhikkhunis."

Rhode's cold voice pulled the girl out of her sea of ​​thoughts.

"!"

The eight hundred nuns shuddered all over and bowed their foreheads to the ground, trembling.

"I'm so sorry, I said something wrong! Please forgive me!"

I thought I would get a harsh reprimand, but that turned out to be not the case.

"Yes, I hate that name, so from now on you are not allowed to mention it in front of me again."

"……Yes."

Yaobikuni noticed that the boy had a relaxed smile on his face.

His handsome face made people dazed, and for a moment they could not tell how much truth and how much falsehood were contained in his words.

Luo De said: "Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis, you just said that you have a wish that you want me to fulfill for you."

"Yes."

The Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni lowered her beautiful head in embarrassment: "I just said so much about my admiration for you, but in the end, I actually have something to ask of you...

You must think that my faith is not pure and that I want to gain benefits from you and feel deeply contemptuous of me..."

Rhodes said, "That's not the case. I have already sensed enough piety from you. As for what you want to ask of me, it does not conflict with your worship of me."

Yaobikuni clasped her hands and said excitedly, "As expected of Lord Omikami! You are so magnanimous and considerate. I am so touched!

I am so lucky to have a boss like you, I want to serve you all my life!

Oh, right... maybe we should change the number of times we kneel and chant in front of your altar to three times a day!"

"Isn't it supposed to be prayer? Don't recite Buddhist scriptures in front of my altar, or you'll be struck by lightning... Forget it, just tell me your request first."

Rhodes took a sip of the cooled green tea and looked at the eight hundred nuns.

The silver-haired girl said solemnly, "Lord Omikami, I beg you to break the curse on me."

"..."

Rhodes was silent for a moment and subconsciously glanced at the eight hundred nuns.

"A curse...?"

The girl nodded firmly: "Yes, curse."

"How dare you say that."

You actually described my blessing as a vicious curse... Rhodes curled his lips.

"You are a more honest woman than I thought. Humph, I don't hate you for that."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Omikami, I'm honored." Yaobikuni smiled sweetly.

She is absolutely right.

Even if everyone believed that it was the supreme blessing bestowed by the sea, for Yaobikuni who had personally experienced the changes in history, it must have been something as heavy and painful as a curse.

Immortality is too much for mortals.

Rhodes nodded: "I understand, I agree to your request."

"Great! Thank you, Lord Omikami!"

The eight hundred nuns lowered their bodies and respectfully revealed the beautiful, winding curves of their backs and buttocks.

Then she raised her head and looked at the boy with a happy face: "Lord Omikami, about this curse... eh?"

The eight hundred nuns were surprised to find that Rhodes had left the cushion and came to them.

Moreover, his right hand was already placed horizontally on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

The girl tilted her head in confusion: "Hey... Lord Omikami, what are you doing?"

Rhodes closed his eyes, shook his head calmly, and said, "Don't worry, don't panic.

Yaobikuni, my loyal girl, this is a reward for your hard work... Leave everything to me from now on."

The young man spoke calmly.

"This is the secret of the [Immortal Slash] that I have comprehended after years of studying sword skills. Although I have never used it in actual combat...it finally came in handy today.

I can't say I have a 100% chance of success, but I think it should be 10%. How do you know if it works if you don't try?

Anyway, you are immortal, so you will succeed if you try a few more times."

As he spoke, the young man drew his sword from its scabbard and slowly raised the bright blade above his head.

Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis: “………………”

"Well then, let me be your kaishakunin... Be prepared! Secret sword! Immortal Slash: Great Red Dragon Flash!"

With a loud shout, Rhodes swung his arm, and in a flash, the sharp blade slashed towards the eight hundred nuns.

"what!!!!"

The girl let out a scream that sounded almost like a cry of surprise.

Then, Rhodes's blade was suspended in mid-air, and stopped just a few centimeters away from the face of the Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni.

At the critical moment, the girl's hands tightly grasped the boy's attack.

It's a bare-handed fight, and it's at a very high level!

Even though she was just an ordinary country girl, after living for four hundred years, she had mastered some basic martial arts.

"W-What are you doing! Lord Omikami! Why are you suddenly attacking me like a sword-slaying demon!"

The girl shouted loudly while holding the oncoming fierce blade with her trembling arms.

Rhode, whose secret was cracked, looked unhappy: "Don't interfere with my work, let go."

The miko shouted, "The one who should let go is Lord Omikami!"

Rod scolded: "Why on earth are you trying to stop me, Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis! Isn't this your long-cherished wish?"

"Aha?"

The silver-haired girl stood there with her mouth half open.

Seeing her confused expression, Rhode became even more puzzled and frowned slightly.

"Yabai Bhikkhuni... don't you want me to end your eternal life and sever the immortality in you?"

“………………Are you kidding me! I finally got this immortality after so much effort, why do you have to kill it? No!”

"what?"

Rhodes blinked, and the eight hundred nuns also blinked, and the two looked at each other.

The young man asked, "Isn't your wish to end the curse of immortality?"

The girl puffed up her cheeks angrily, “Lord Omikami, why do you think the curse I’m talking about is immortality?

This is the most important blessing that you, Lord Omikami, have bestowed upon me! How can it be an ominous curse?"

Rhodes was speechless.

"Uh...but comics, novels, and other literary works all say that immortality is a very sad and painful thing...

Every person who obtains eternal life will become physically and mentally exhausted as time goes by, and will desire death more and more, so..."

Yaobai Bhikkhuni interrupted, "Please distinguish between fantasy stories and reality!"

"Goo!"

Rhodes' body swayed, and the girl continued to persist.

"Then I want to ask you, Lord Omikami, who has existed for billions of years, do you think that eternal life is a painful thing?"

of course not.

"right?"

Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni pursed her red lips: "I live a carefree life every day! There are still many things I want to do and many sights I want to see...

Even if I have traveled all over Japan, all over the mainland, and all over the world, I still want to live a leisurely life for another eight million years!"

Rhode still couldn't believe it: "So, the curse you want me to help eliminate is not your immortality."

"No, there are other curses."

The girl lowered her head in frustration, “That’s too much, Lord Omikami.

You actually said that the immortality of this body, the most important thing that binds you and me together, is an evil curse. I am about to cry... wuwu."

“………………Hmm.”

Rhodes slowly lowered the knife, sheathed it, turned away, and coughed awkwardly.

"Eight Hundred Bhikkhunis, forget what just happened."

Chapter 682: Miko's clothes are meant to be taken off in front of the gods

The thatched hut where Yaobikuni usually provides fortune-telling services and receives guests is located halfway up the mountain. There is actually a small shrine at the top of the mountain.

A quarter of an hour ago, Rod returned to the ox cart and found the crane waiting there.

"Miss He, you go back first. Lady Yaobikuni and I still have some things to deal with, so I'm afraid we will have to stay here overnight."

"……Well?"
