I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Miss Aosaki Yuko, a famous magician, top puppet master, family doctor of the Tono family and personal consultant to Tono Akiha, was in a bad mood.

No matter who was doing the experiment in the middle of the night and was woken up less than half an hour after lying down to sleep, he would not be in a good mood. Seeing that the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was a little bastard who had been missing for many days and had no news at all, my bad mood was alleviated a lot. However, because I didn't wear glasses, I didn't look good, and my voice was also bad. Cold.

"Oh, I'm back."

"Ah, I'm back."

"Where's the gift?"

"Well, there's nothing to bring over there, so just-"

"That is to say, you not only didn't bring any gifts when you went out, but you came over to quarrel with me as soon as you came back. We have a grudge, right?"

"Sister, is it okay if I was wrong, sister?"

Hearing the resentment in Cheng Zi's words, Shen Er quickly apologized with a sincere attitude.

"We'll pay for the gift later. Tell me what you want and I'll find a way to get it."

"That's pretty much it."

Seeing that Shen Er had a good attitude towards pleading guilty, the remaining unhappiness in Cheng Zi's heart disappeared. Reaching out to take out the glasses from the glasses case, she restored the image of an intellectual and capable mature woman.

By this time, Tono Akiha also knew the boy's identity.

Chengzi was still sitting on the bed, wearing only a thin pair of pajamas. He didn't mind the boy looking at his exposed body parts. The young man also lost his previous sharpness and let the orange slap and complain without any anger at all.

This shows that the relationship between the two is not only familiar, but close beyond that. This kind of closeness will only be revealed when Orange mentions a few people, among whom there is only one male.

"Tell me, why are you looking for me in such a hurry? Is it because of this young lady?"

Orange snorted. After a while, another one came back.

Shenji smiled shamelessly: "She accounts for half of it, and the other half is because she wants to see you, sister, as soon as possible."

"You should go back and tell Sakura and Fujino what you said."

Orange pushed Shenji's face away with a slap, his eyes flashed across Arquette, and his slender eyebrows raised slightly - this woman seemed not to be human.

The pure white princess was sitting on the window sill, basking in the moon, her legs swaying, still muttering, "It's not healed yet, be patient, it's not healed yet, be patient."

"Just tell me the reason. I have nothing to do and I still want to sleep."

"Where is Roya?"

"have no idea."

"Sister, now is not the time for joking." Shenji became anxious because Arquette was ready to make a move.

"Who is kidding you? I really don't know."

Seeing that Chengzi was serious, Shenji frowned and moved his peripheral vision to Tono Akiha to the side twice.

"After such a long time, it is impossible to find the target with your ability. Could it be the Tono family..."

Naturally, such a small gesture was not hidden from Cheng Zi's eyes. She shrugged, and a wave rippled in her chest.

"No matter how powerful I am, I can't resurrect the dead."

"Dead person? What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand? The person you asked me to find was already dead before I came."

"This is impossible, Roja is definitely not dead." Shenji turned his head and looked at Elquette, who was listening attentively. Although the form is special, Roja is indeed the Dead Apostle she transformed. She said that if Roja is not dead, then he is definitely not dead.

"I don't know if Roja is dead or not. The person you asked me to find, Tono Shiki, is indeed dead - the information you gave me was wrong. No, it can't be wrong. It's out of date."

"Shiki Tono...is dead?"

Shenji almost suspected that he heard wrongly.

Shiki Tono is dead.

Why did he die?

How could he die?

How could he, who was parasitized by Roja and had the ability to steal the life force of others, die?

If he dies, what will happen to Roja?

Questions popped up one after another, making my head a mess, and it took a while to calm down.

"sure?"

"Sure."

"That's it..."

Shinji slowly exhaled and turned around awkwardly.

"Well, Arquette, I seem to have made a mistake. Roya's 18th reincarnation is dead... I'm really sorry."

Surprisingly, Elquette was not too surprised. He just said "Oh" lightly and asked, "Where did he die? Where is the body?"

"Let me answer this question." Tono Akiha, the eldest daughter of the Tono family, said, "As a condition, I need to know the ins and outs of the whole thing, including what happened tonight and his relationship with you."

If possible, Qiuye doesn't want to reveal the family's secrets to outsiders. However, the opponent already knew about the existence of Tono Shiki and was extremely powerful. Akiba could only give up the solution by force and instead settle through negotiation.

"Okay, I promise you." Shenji nodded. Tonight's intrusion meant that they were at fault in the first place, so naturally it was difficult to refuse such a reasonable request.

In 1992, Arquette killed Roja XVII in France. Roja was reincarnated into Shiki Tono and became Roja XVIII. Later, Shiki Tono had a "reversal impulse" and was killed by Makihisa Tono who came over. The dying Shiki launched a "communion" to rob Shiki of his life force and survived, and was eventually imprisoned in a dungeon by Makihisa. It's all a plot that Shenji knows.

According to the description of "Tsukihime", Shiki will be imprisoned until Makijiu's death, Roja awakens, and triggers a series of events. However, something unexpected happened. Shortly after being imprisoned in the dungeon, Tono Shiki had another "reversal impulse" for some unknown reason. In desperation, Makihisa had no choice but to kill Shiki again, killing Shiki with his own hands, completely cutting off his life.

After Shiki's death, Makihisa buried him in the cemetery at the back of the Tono family, claiming that he was the grave of his adopted son who died unexpectedly.

When he saw the empty dungeon that had accumulated a lot of dust, Shinji had already believed Akiha's words, and the information that Erquet read from the dungeon and the tomb also proved that Akiha was not lying.

Here we can also see the limitations of Erquette's ability to read the world's memory. She needs a certain medium to read the desired information. The closer the connection between the medium and the information, the better the effect.

She is looking for Roja through part of the power taken away by Roja. If Roja does not awaken, this power will remain dormant and she will not be able to find Roja.

Using the Tono family as a medium, she read traces of Roya's existence, but because she had no specific target, she did not know further information until she used the grave and death place of Tono Shiki as a medium.

"It's going to be a long wait again."

This was Arquette's final reaction, cold and indifferent, which reminded Shinji of her when they first met.

"You... don't seem to care very much. Isn't he your... enemy?"

"Yeah, but I've killed him many times and he's escaped many times. I don't mind waiting a few more times."

"That's it..." He didn't understand hundreds of years of entanglement and long waiting, but this did not prevent him from making a decision. "Next time he awakens again, I will go with you."

"OK."

Before dawn, the pure white Vampire Queen lost her indifference and her smile was as bright as a flower. She had changed.

That day, they met.

That time, there was a collision between natural touch and human longing.

At that moment, the incarnation of nature that should be ruthless was tainted with emotion.

magic? Miracle?

No, it doesn't matter. What matters is that she likes this feeling.
