My Mom Sandy Love Song

"Mother is so cunning. She threw the whole mountain into the Persian Gulf when she was angry last time."

"……Ha ha."

That's not because you are naughty.

The doting mother who was poked at the pain point and wanted to refute but didn't want to blame her young son too much could only touch her face and said with a wry smile.

"Come on, Rhodes. Let's learn words and arithmetic. Words and arithmetic are very important."

"Hey~~~~ Do you want to study again?"

Rhodes put his hands behind his head, looking indifferent.

Recently his mother was teaching him a cuneiform script called Semitic, and so-called arithmetic, a method of counting using strings tied in knots.

"There is no one else in this world except me and my mother. What is the use of learning these things? I want to learn the skills of self-transformation, and I want to have the ability to turn small animals into my companions like my mother."

"Well……"

Tiamat tilted his head, poking his chin with his slender fingers.

"That's right, studying in a cave all day is indeed a kind of torture for you.

Well, you memorize all the remaining words within today, and engrave them on the clay tablet, and then complete the arithmetic problems I assigned.

If you can do it before night, I will teach you how to grow wings from your back at night. "

"Huh, really!? Mother has to make an agreement with me!"

"Okay, okay, when did mother lie to you?"

Tiamat hooked his hand and said with a smile.

"It's agreed, as long as you can complete the homework I assigned, I will teach you the skills to grow wings."

"Great!"

Rhodes threw himself into her arms with a shy smile, accepting her touch.

"My mother is my favorite!"

"Good boy, good boy...as long as you are willing to stay with mother, I will listen to you in everything."

……

……

……

Time passes day by day.

As the sun rose and set, Rhodes thrived under his mother's gentle care.

In terms of knowledge, the mother has nothing left to teach her children.

The talented Rhodes has mastered all the cuneiform characters on the planet in the ancient past, and he has long been better than his mother in arithmetic.

It's not just the intellectual level that grows.

His self-transformation skills, which were still immature before, have now reached the same level as his mother [EX]. Now he can easily transform his body into a giant body overlooking the Tyrannosaurus rex.

When playing with Tiamat recently, Rhodes even found that his mother's god-like power to move mountains and reclamation seas in the past can no longer suppress him.

"Maybe I'm already stronger than my mother?"

When this thought first appeared in my mind, it was the tenth thought of living with my mother.

When he found Tiamat ecstatically and told her "I will protect my mother from now on", Tiamat cried all day and all night.

It was another peaceful afternoon, and Rhodes stood alone on the shore of the Persian Gulf.

"What's on the other side of the sea?"

Looking at the golden and calm sea, the antonym of "mother" appeared in Rhodes' heart for the first time——

【adventure】.

"Forget it, I'm actually not interested."

Rhodes stuck out his tongue because of the terrible thought that suddenly rose in his heart, and hurried back home.

After that, it was still smooth and beautiful.

Tiamat is still the same as before, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Prepare food for Aiko, or clean the cave.

Farming, hunting, and fishing are all her daily life.

If there is any change between them, it is that Rhodes has recently begun to resist Tiamat's excessive physical contact without knowing it.

Of course, it wasn't because he hated his mother anymore, it was because he liked her so much.

Tiamat, who couldn't understand the boy's mind, always circled Rhodes from time to time, or followed behind as if he was afraid that the child would be lost.

For puberty teenagers, this little trouble of fever can be regarded as a seasoning of life.

……

That night, Rhodes and his mother lay side by side on the mattress made of hay in the cave.

When he opened his eyes in a daze, he found that Tiamat's dragon tail was wrapping around his waist.

Obviously she has rejected it many times before, and her mother also said that she will not do it again next time, but for some reason she pestered her again tonight.

Rhodes sat up from the bed, gently untied Tiamat's tail, and looked down at her sleeping face by the moonlight.

Even though more than ten years have passed, her appearance has not changed, and she is still as beautiful and moving as when they first met.

"Mummu..."

Slightly parting her sakura-colored lips, Tiamat narrowed her eyes and murmured.

"Drink more, drink more to grow your body? Hehe...it's so itchy, woo...you can't bite with your teeth!"

"What are you dreaming about?"

Rhodes rolled his eyes and lay down beside her again.

He sighed, is it all his mother even in her dreams...

Really... huh?

Wait... a dream?

Rhodes was stunned, and a chill swept over his back.

Since living with Tiamat, he hasn't had a dream in the past ten years.

Why have I never had a dream, and have never been puzzled by it.

After a short period of confusion, Rhodes showed a suddenly enlightened expression.

Ahh...that's right.

The inability to dream is due to the lack of material for dreams—reality.

If there is no reality as a material, no one can weave dreams.

"……what."

Rhodes' memory gradually recovered.

After connecting the body with my mother with the gold of the blade, I was dragged into a sleeping dream in Tiamat.

No, it would be inappropriate to say that this is Tiamat's dream.

After all, this is the dream she created for her children.

Tiamat used the Holy Grail given to her by Getia and wished to create such a dream that was not her own.

All the components in the dream exist to make me happy.

The reason why she can dream in a dream must be based on the same reason——

To Tiamat [Mother], I [Child] is the whole world.

After understanding the whole truth, Rhodes slowly closed his eyes, and held the slender fingers of the girl beside him.

"Well... I like this place very much, and I will live here with my mother forever."

The young man murmured, wrapping his red and black dragon tail around Tiamat's green-gold dragon tail.

……

……

……

"So, why did it become like this?"

Standing in the black expanse, Rhodes grabbed Tiamat's wrist and questioned her.

Tiamat lowered his head and hugged his shoulders, like a child who has done something wrong.

"I'm sorry...forgive me..."

Perhaps because the body is connected by the Noble Phantasm, Rhodes can fully understand Tiamat's sharp singing language.

When he regained consciousness, what greeted Rhodes was not the early morning of birds chirping——

He found that he was no longer in the cave where he had lived for ten years.

The pitch-black space is not so much the universe, but a domain similar to the ocean.

Here is the imaginary number space.

Because the existence of the mother is too large and has affected the growth of the children, the creation god Tiamat was exiled by her children to this infinite and dark abyss.

"……Aha."

The dream that doesn't want to wake up, the dream that can't wake up, wake up.

The person who awakened Rhodes from his dream was none other than the mother who was the master of the dream.

Rhodes questioned her sharply: "You are the one who imprisoned me in the dream on your own initiative.

Now I have decided to let the dream end on my own. What does this mean?
