Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

"We meet again, the murderer."

A beautiful figure with blond hair blocked the path of Shiki Tono on his way home.

Everything that happened in front of him was just as the mysterious man warned him before. He saw this beautiful blond lady again.

"Blonde woman... No way!!"

The moment he saw Arquette's figure, Tohno Shiki's face turned pale, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"What exactly is going on?"

Seeing Tohno Shiki's expression suddenly turned ugly, Arquette smiled slightly and stared at him with her eyes shining with scarlet light.

"Sure enough, you still remember me, you murderer."

Although he was smiling, there was still a bit of undisguised anger in his words.

"Your name is Tono Shiki, right?"

Tohno Shiki felt like he was dreaming at this moment. Although he reacted when he saw it for the first time, because the memory was too vague and too incredible, he did not dare to think in that direction. , so it keeps darkening���It was just a dream.

But Erquette would not forget the pain of being divided by seventeen a few days ago. Not only did she die once, but she also lost most of her strength. If Xia Yuan hadn't picked her up and treated her, she wouldn't have known it. How long will it take to be resurrected?

Maybe she would be caught by Roya or Nero Kaos in a weak state. In that case, she would really be finished.

It can be said that the feud between the two of them was very serious, so when Xia Yuan took her to find Tono Shiki, she directly blocked the only way for Tono Shiki to go home. And he was extremely jealous when he met his enemy.

This murderer must be taught a lesson!!

I want to tear him into seventeen pieces!

Arquette's murderous intent was undisguised.

Tohno Shiki felt like he was dreaming.

When he saw Arquette's figure in the distance, he felt that the other person looked a bit like the vague figure in his dream, and a bad premonition came into his heart. But because it was too ridiculous, he didn't dare to think about it. But when the other party's appearance was completely presented to him, he was sure that Erquet was the woman he killed in his dream.

That's not a dream!!

But if that dream was true, then shouldn't this woman be cut into seventeen pieces and killed by herself? How would it appear here? Is she immortal?

"Is this... real or fake?"

Monster...

Faced with such an abnormal situation, Tohno Shiki panicked for a moment. He was obviously frightened. Looking at Arquette, who was approaching him step by step, his forehead was filled with tears. Cold sweat.

So in this abnormal situation, he made the most instinctive choice for human beings, which was to escape.

There was really no way he could expect an inhuman person with scarlet eyes to listen to his plea for mercy.

After the other party was killed by him, Tohno Shiki could clearly hear the other party's emotion, which was filled with murderous anger, although Tohno Shiki could understand why the other party hated him so much. , but I really don’t have the courage to face it.

There is no way. It is impossible for him to face someone who has been killed by him once.

Shiki Tono can even feel that Ai Er will not do it. Kuit's murderous gaze, if gaze could kill, he would have been cut into pieces long ago. In such a state, it was impossible for her to listen to her own explanation.

"Wow!"

So he threw away his schoolbag in panic to lighten his burden, and began to run in one direction of the trail with all his strength, desperately trying to escape from here.

He had to escape, otherwise, he would be killed!!

Just like what he encountered not long ago As the mysterious man said, today was indeed a special day for him. He had a fateful encounter, but this encounter was the kind that would kill him.

"Killed!"

"anyone there? Help me!!"

Tohno Shiki shouted for help as he ran. Arquette, who was chasing him behind him, showed a disdainful smile.

He is obviously a murderer, but he still wants to call for help?

Today, whether it is the representative of the church or the spirit here, Pulse manager, come here, you have to pay me back what you owe me.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Arquitet waved his hands, raised his hands and lifted up a heavy stone in mid-air, then flew towards him like a missile, hitting Tono Shiki's body without any hindrance.

Bang -!

Accompanied by!

With a dull sound, the stone that came out of fantasy hit the boy's spine accurately.

At this moment, Tohno Shiki felt as if he had been hit by a big truck, and his whole body could almost be said to have been blown away.

He went out and rolled around on the ground several times before he stopped.

It can be said that Tono Shiki, who was lying on the ground at this moment, was merciless.

What kind of pain did he endure? If it were an ordinary person, it would have been a fatal injury, but Tohno Shiki just rolled around on the ground a few times and removed most of the stones.

After receiving the impact, he staggered to his feet and then ran away.

Was that just luck? Or was it his instinctive reaction? Seeing this scene, Erqite felt a little surprised that he was like this.

, this person didn’t use the Demonic Eye of Death to resist.

What was going on? His weak appearance was completely opposite to that when he cut himself apart.

If she hadn’t remembered his face and his breath, she wouldn’t have known it.

She wondered if Xia Yuan had brought her to the wrong person.

Seeing Tohno Shiki staggering away, she raised her hand, hesitated for a while, and finally put down her raised left hand.

"Spare your life first."

Because Xia Yuan asked her to teach this brat who divided her into seventeen parts, but not to hurt his life.

Although she could be said to be filled with rage when she saw this murderer, she still suppressed her anger and chose Follow Xia Yuan's arrangements.

Although he doesn't know what Xia Yuan's arrangements are, he can't run away anyway. He can fix him however he wants.

……

…… run.

Keep running. until exhausted

"Whirring whirring——！！"

"The woman did not pursue him."

After running for an unknown amount of time, Tono Shiki, who was seriously injured and exhausted, came to a park.

He leaned on a park bench, breathing heavily, staring around from time to time, worried that something might happen at any time. A blond figure would rush out to kill him.

Because he was worried about harming his family, he didn't dare to run in the direction of the Tono family's mansion. He chose to hide in the park alone, and the woman shouldn't be able to catch him. You... right?

He is also a little unconfident.

After all, the other party is obviously not an ordinary person. Whether it is his eyes glowing red or his ability to fly boulders out of thin air, it is not difficult to tell that he is really being chased by such a being this time. She got into big trouble...

But it was indeed her fault in this matter, but how to calm her anger... Tohno

Shiki was a little troubled, not knowing how to deal with this matter.

A blue butterfly flew in front of his eyes and then landed in front of him

"This is……？"

He held out his palm and let the butterfly land on his fingertips.

Then a voice came into my ears

"Hey, boy, I'm glad to see you're okay."

The man who suddenly appeared at the other end of the bench took off his hood and said to the panting Tono Shiki

"Huh?!"

In this state of high tension, a stranger suddenly appeared beside him, which frightened Shiki Tono so much that he couldn't stand still for a moment, and his weak legs almost made him fall off the bench to the ground.

"Be careful, boy."

Bang.

The man just snapped his fingers, and a strange wind suddenly rose under his feet, supporting Shiki Tono who was about to fall, and helped him back to the bench.

Suddenly the wind started?

"Oh, thank you."

Tohno Shiki subconsciously thanked him. Only then did he see Xia Yuan's face clearly:"You are the mysterious person I met today!!"

He said in surprise

"That's right, it's me, young man, how are you? Did you run into any trouble?

Xia Yuan smiled and said,"Let me guess?" Did he meet a beautiful blonde lady?"

"Yes, I really met the blonde woman, and then chased her all the way, and even almost died."

Tohno Shiki sighed and said with some frustration:"You showed no mercy at all. You didn't even give me a chance to explain.……"

"That sounds really bad"

"The woman would have been filled with rage as soon as she saw me, if she hadn't run fast enough. I must have been killed by her now"

"That's it……"

Xia Yuan shook his head and looked at Tono Shiki thinking.

You're overestimating yourself, boy. If Arquette really wanted to kill you, she wouldn't just materialize rocks and hit you with them.

"What do you think is going on? You should know the reason for being haunted by that woman, right?"

"……"

You know, you know, but...

Shiki Tono, who was in trouble, looked at the mysterious man who appeared in front of him and sighed helplessly.

"It's all my fault. Not long ago, I did something very sorry for her. It was natural for that woman to come to her door, but... I don't know how to describe it."

Could it be that he wanted to say that he divided someone's family into seventeen pieces in a dazed state? Of course he couldn't say it.

"That’s it, that’s it. I’ve probably understood this matter. Do you regret it now, young man?"

"Of course I regret it���"

Tohno Shiki lowered his head,"However, I don't know how to face it. If I look back now, I will definitely be killed by her.""

"Are you feeling guilty and scared? Although you have a pair of good eyes, you are still an ordinary junior high school student in nature."

"you know my eyes……"

Tohno Shiki was a little confused, but there was still a little vigilance in his words.

"If you know a little bit, even if you wear this special pair of magic eye-killing glasses, it is difficult to block the characteristics of these eyes. There are people around me who have the same eyes as you."

"And it was with those special eyes that you killed that monster-like woman. And your eyes have a very resounding name……"

"The evil eye of death."

Xia Yuan slowly said the name of these eyes.

"The evil eye of death?"

Tohno Shiki muttered the name silently.

"This is a pair of very powerful eyes. People with these eyes can visually see dead lines like cracks on the surface of most objects. If they are cut along the lines with a sharp object such as a knife, it will cause indefensible and incurable damage to the object. harm"

"Boy, the glasses you are wearing are called Magic Eyes. They are special magic props that help you suppress your eyes. You should be well aware of this, right?"

"So this is called... the magic eye kill?"

Hearing that Xia Yuan easily revealed his secret, Tohno Shiki was suddenly shocked.

His eyes had been abnormal since he was a child. He could see many lines and felt that the whole world was full of gaps, which made him feel Fear, and he can easily cut into pieces any object as long as he tries to draw a sharp object along these lines...

But this kind of thing is too scary for him, even if he tells everyone around him about the lines , and no one ever believed him. Instead, he got a scolding until...the elder sister with hair as long as flames appeared... she taught herself how to treat these eyes, not to do so. Abuse, respect life, and gave yourself these special glasses to protect yourself

"Teacher Aoko……"

Recalling his past experiences, he couldn't help but murmur to himself.

But soon, Xia Yuan's cough brought him back to reality from this nostalgia.

Although he had realized that the mysterious man in front of him was no ordinary person, he still felt horrified when he heard his secret being revealed so easily.

His left hand had already quietly reached into his pocket, tightly holding the knife that his father had left for him.

Xia Yuan also saw the fear shown by Tohno Shiki, but he didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly.

Because the real owner of this matter has also arrived

"Yes, it is because you have these monster-like eyes that I was killed by you."

The familiar voice scared Tohno Shiki and he stood up immediately. He turned his head and looked around, only to see Arquette walking towards this side not far away.

Run!!

This is what he was thinking in his mind. An idea came to his mind immediately, but before Tohno Shiki's body could make a move, Xia Yuan's palm beside him had already pressed on his shoulder.

At this critical moment, he subconsciously pulled out the sharp weapon in his pocket. The knife was drawn towards Xia Yuan, trying to get him to let go of him, but the other party just stretched out two fingers and gently pressed the knife between his fingers.

At this moment, Xia Yuan's eyes fell. I was attracted by the word"Qiye" engraved on the blade.

……This is?

"Sit down first, young man"

"Blindly escaping will not solve the problem. As a man, you should have the courage to take on your own responsibilities."

"I……"

The strong force coming from the opponent's palm made Tohno Shiki unable to resist, and the knife his father left for him was also snatched away by the opponent. Now he can only sit down obediently and watch Erquette walk in front of him.

Quickly arriving at Xia Yuan's side, Erquette leaned over to look at Tono Shiki, tried his best to keep a calm look, and then said to him in the most ferocious tone.

"I finally caught you, murderer!!"

"do you remember? The sneak attack at the door of the apartment building, and your sharp seventeen divisions! ?"

"you...you are……"

Tohno Shiki felt that the bloody memory became clearer and clearer in his mind.

"It seems that you have completely remembered me, or you do still remember me, so let’s talk about the seventeenth division first."

"You mean? Where should I start dividing yours?"

"sorry! Please spare me!!"

Looking at the approaching Arquette, Tohno Shiki widened his eyes and looked frightened. He lowered his head and apologized quickly.

"Stop scaring him, Arquette."

Xia Yuan knew very well that Tono Shiki did not do things of his own free will. After all, as the protagonist of Tsukihime, he would definitely not be a murderer like Ryunosuke Uyu.

Originally, he thought it was Tono. The demon blood in the family is causing trouble, but when he used butterflies to examine him, he did not find that Tohno Shiki had the characteristics of the demon blood recorded in the Aozaki family files. Instead, he had a special Power. He was familiar with that feeling in his blood. Although it was different, it was still similar.

Seeing the dagger that the boy had just drawn, Xia Yuan had some vague guesses about his identity.

What happened was not the subjective behavior of Tohno Shiki, so Xia Yuan asked Erquet not to kill him.

"Relax boy, she won't hurt you. I just came to see you because I have something I want to talk to you about."

Shiki Tono:"……"

This sentence is not convincing at all. If the frightening red light in her eyes disappears, I can still trust her more.

However, the two people in front of them were obviously not ordinary people. In this situation, he didn't think he could escape, so he just tried his best to stay calm, and then said carefully

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Well, let’s talk about compensation first, and then go to your house. I just came here for the first time, and I just wanted to visit the local [Exorcist Family]】"

"compensation? Going to Tono's house?!"

Hearing this, Tono Shiki was slightly startled at first, but soon became anxious and shouted quickly

"What do you want to do to my family?!"

"Of course we're talking about compensation. You don't think you can kill someone without paying any price and you can settle the matter, right? As for going to your home, I'm just talking about work issues and won't hurt your family."

��I……"

Tohno Shiki was a little speechless, but he also did not answer Xia Yuan's question and remained alert.

"Don't you want to take me there? it does not matter"

"Even if you don't tell me, I can still find your home. After all, the Tono family is so big, there's no way you can hide such an obvious thing from anyone."

"So you might as well relax, boy, if I really want to hurt you, you are not qualified to have an equal conversation with me here."

Xia Yuan's tone was full of confidence, and then he looked at him with a kind look.

"And...if you still disagree, I will ignore you and can only let this victim who has been divided by you seventeen times talk to you alone."

"OK! Yuan, leave this guy to me. Later I will divide him into seventeen pieces!"

Arquitet waved his claws like a tabby cat and slashed in front of Tono Shiki.

But every time he swung, he carried a sharp wind blade, and the one not far away had been cut off. The telephone pole is proving to Shiki Tono that Arquette is really capable of dividing itself into seventeen pieces!

"I promise you!!"

"Okay, that's right. It's a pleasure to cooperate, young man."
