My mother's love song

Page 99

Rod stood at the bathroom door with his hands on his hips and said, "Ellie said King Arthur has something important to announce, so I came here."

"H-huh...? I did look for the Master, but I didn't ask you to come into the bathroom. Why didn't you wait in my room?!"

“Because I just took a bath at Ellie’s place, and came here wrapped in a towel… I’m freezing.

There was no one in the room, and then I saw your underwear in the clothes basket, so I came in thinking it was a good time to take a second bath.

Lancer, you're not going to let me go back into this cold room, are you?

Hearing what Rhodes said, Altria's chest sank and she asked him.

"Master...were you bathing with Irisviel in her bathroom just now?"

"Ah."

Rhodes nodded.

Half is true, half is false.

It was all true up to the "in Irisviel's bathroom" part, except that they weren't obviously taking a bath...

"Well……"

Rubbing her feet together underwater, Altria turned her face slightly to the side.

She felt a sense of opposition towards Irisviel arising in her heart, and whispered with her cheeks burning.

"In that case, Master, please come in and take a bath together... But, you are absolutely not allowed to enter the bathtub."

"I would have done it even if you hadn't told me."

Rod sat directly in front of the shower, turned on the shower head and began to wash his body.

The boy, who had just released all his desires at Irisviel's place, now really just wanted to take a good bath.

Altria looked at him and, after judging that her Master did not have any improper thoughts today, she relaxed her body with a feeling of relief and disappointment.

"By the way, Lancer, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"..."

Altria did not answer. She focused her attention on Rhodes, who was sitting diagonally opposite her.

Come to think of it, this was her first time seeing the Master, seeing a boy's body.

Slender arms that seem to have no idea what muscles are.

She has an androgynous appearance and fair skin that has yet to show any masculine traits.

...It’s about the same as when I was 15 years old.

The Knight King swallowed, shifted his gaze to the boy's waist, and then...

"……Well!"

She looked away hastily.

Why is it that only here has become particularly manly!!!

"Master, what did you just say..."

At this moment, a dazzling light flashed outside the window.

After a few seconds, boom...

The two people in the bathroom heard the sound of thunder in the distance.

The brightly lit city of Einzbern returned to the darkness of primitive society.

……

"Enemy attack!?"

Artoria stood up from the bathtub and looked around nervously.

"No, the enemies have all been defeated. The thunder must have damaged the castle's power supply system."

Rhodes said as he calmly rubbed his shampoo-covered hair.

"That's it."

Altria accepted what he said and sat back in the bathtub.

"There should be a backup generator in the castle. It should be powered up once Ellie turns it on. By the way, it's so bright..."

Rhodes glanced at Lancer's position.

In the midst of all the darkness, Altria's turquoise pupils sparkled like fireflies.

"Well, this is the result of the influence of the Holy Lance, which is also known as goddess transformation... These eyes represent that I no longer belong to the category of human beings."

"I see, then Lancer and I are the same kind! Haha."

Rhodes suddenly laughed.

"similar?"

“In fact, I used to be a human.”

"……what?"

Altria's eyes widened: "Human, Master? How is this possible..."

Although there are legends that evil dragons are monsters transformed from greedy humans, but the beast of apocalypse is a human... this is too absurd.

"It's true."

Rhodes thought about it and felt that there would be nothing wrong in telling Altria about his experience.

In addition, Artoria was a person who had a connection with Aika, so Rhodes told her about his wonderful adventure in the Tokyo sewers.

“…………This actually happened.”

After listening to Rod's story, Altria fell into a long silence.

Master is not only not a beast of disaster, but he is a human who saved the world from the claws of Beast, right?!

If it weren't for the Master, Tokyo might have been destroyed by the Beast long ago!

Moreover, the Master seemed to be completely unaware of the fact that he had actually saved the world.

"Master, you idiot."

“…Huh!? Why am I being scolded?”

Altria turned away and snorted, "Because you make me feel like an idiot for worrying about boring things."

"……Aha?"

Rhodes turned on the shower head for some unknown reason, preparing to rinse off the shampoo foam on his head.

"……Well."

The boy made a trembling sound.

"what happened?"

"Lancer, can you let me get in the bathtub? Because of the power outage, there's only cold water in the shower."

……

Rhodes entered the bathtub where Altria was.

"I'm sorry...Lancer."

He held the Knight King's knees, curled up, and carefully sat on her soft body.

"Well, um... it's okay. It can't be helped. I would be troubled if the Master caught a cold."

By the way, does the Beast of Apocalypse really catch a cold?

"Um... Master, you can't use magic to enhance your vision, okay?"

She whispered as she stole a glance at the boy's handsome profile in the dark.

"Oh, I see."

Rhode thought to himself: What if I use magic to enhance my senses? Maybe 3000 times more sensitive?

However, this is no longer necessary.

After being in darkness for a while, Rhodes' five senses except vision became unusually sharp.

Just by turning your back to Altria, you can smell her faint girlish fragrance.

There is the sound of continuous drizzle outside the window, and around me there is the perfect water temperature and two wonderful feelings coming from behind.

The boy's sage mode came to an end.

After a moment of awkward silence, Altria broke the silence.

"Master, let me wash your hair."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

After getting permission, Altria leaned forward slightly, and the two people squeezed in the small bathtub inevitably became closer.

"Good weight……"

“I-I can’t help it! I didn’t become like this just because I wanted to… Ugh, this is all the fault of Rungominiad and Meili!”

Altria blushed and said loudly, and her slender fingers that were rubbing Rod's hair became more forceful.

"I didn't say I wasn't happy about it. I should say...thank you, Mary!"

"Ah? Really? Then I'll crush you to death! Master, you perverted brat who loves to play tricks on adults!"

King Arthur, who was angry and embarrassed, suddenly showed his naughty side like an elementary school boy and deliberately pressed his whole body weight on the boy.

“Oh, oh, oh…”

The beast, pinned down by the lion's delicate body, trembled continuously.

thanks for treatment.

……

result.

The electricity didn't come back until the water in the bathtub turned cold.

What on earth is Ai Li doing? Really... Good Job!

"Can I stay in Lancer's room overnight?"

After Rhodes asked this, Altria nodded vaguely.

"Well...if it's the Master, of course."

Just like that, the two of them lay side by side on the soft big bed.

In the silent room, the only sounds were the boy's disordered breathing and the girl's swallowing.
