Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Tokyo, Misaki-cho.

The sun sets in the west.

If the terrain is high enough, you can see the lights of the city buildings gradually light up.

The lights sway with the sky, just like the ocean floating on the horizon.

They are gradually soaked in the darkness, and when the quiet night sky presses down, they will capsize like a ship in a storm.

This unique scenery, like the dividing line between daily and extraordinary, can easily wash away the fatigue and anxiety in the heart, leaving only longing and satisfaction.

Unfortunately, because it is not a small city like Fuyuki or Kanbushi City that has not been properly developed, regardless of the height or lowness of the terrain, it is full of high-rise buildings.

People in the mountains naturally cannot see the full view of the mountain.

But even if things are like this, there will always be a few exceptions.

"It's so beautiful..."

The current head of the Tono family, Tono Akiha, stared at the scenery outside the window and sighed slightly.

The classical window on her side clearly reflects the city in the distance.

For those who like this, this is a VIP seat worth a fortune.

But for the Tono family's mansion, this is just a small detail that is not easy to notice in life.

They used to be an ancient powerful family. After entering the modern era, they did not fall behind. Instead, they successfully transformed into a chaebol and took control of the Misaki area.

Although it is only an area in Tokyo, the value of Misaki Town is much more valuable than the hometown of a certain magician with a similar name.

Being able to hold it in hand is almost the pinnacle for the family.

In its heyday, the Tono family even tried to make a difference in politics and work towards the direction of the family.

However, this ambition has long been buried in the past.

The reason is simple.

The absolute core of the Tono family's successful transformation in the modern era, the previous head of the family, Tono Makihisa, died in battle.

Yes, died.

It took only one generation to complete the gorgeous transformation from landlords to chaebols. Of course, the Tono family also has its own support.

Just like the famous supernatural forces in the island country, the four demon-exorcist families.

There are beings whose mission is to exorcise these alien beings, and naturally there will be beings who are tempted by their power.

The Tono family is a family that chooses to mix blood with demons to gain power.

The inheritance of this monster blood is not stable. Once the inhuman bloodline overwhelms the human bloodline, the host will directly degenerate into a monster that does not recognize relatives.

Even if there is no degeneration, the person who holds this blood will also have a desire to amplify the original desire, called the reverse impulse. If there is no physical and mental strength to suppress this burden, they will also go to the end.

But as compensation for bearing this price, most of the Tono family will also awaken different abilities due to different blood concentrations.

This helped them quickly complete the original accumulation, gain a lot of connections in the inner and outer worlds, and have the right to manage the spiritual veins, becoming an enduring powerful family.

Although they cannot stand on the same level as the noble magicians with orderly inheritance in Europe, as a local force, the Tono family can be written about as a model of the other world.

Despite this, the ambitious Tono Makihisa is still not satisfied.

As the lord of the Tono family's revival, when he helps the family to dominate Misaki, he can't help but cooperate with some local exorcist organizations.

Originally, due to his own achievements, Tono Makihisa had a somewhat contemptuous attitude towards the four exorcist families who were unable to adapt to the modern world and began to decline due to the disappearance of their mission.

But during that cooperation, after meeting the killer of the Nanaya family among the four exorcist families, this ridiculous idea was shattered.

That is a true exorcist.

It is a nemesis that all outsiders should fear.

Even if they knew that the Tono family was not controlled by the reverse impulse, the exorcist organization would not attack them - the previous cooperation is the best proof.

Even if it is one of the responsibilities of the head of the family to eliminate the clan members controlled by the reverse impulse.

Even though the Nanaya family had gradually withdrawn from the demon-killing business and began to live in seclusion in the mountains.

But even if he understood these principles, because his own mental power was almost unable to control the reversal impulse, he could not suppress the fear in his heart when he thought that this hanging blade might fall at any time.

His sense of the Nanaya family was better than Danzo's malice towards the Uchiha.

So, after he successfully mastered the core system of the Tono family, Tono Makihisa made a classic remake.

He immediately united all the branches and launched a surprise attack on the secluded Nanaya family, intending to make the bloodline of this family disappear completely from this world.

He was very shrewd and planned very well.

Although a lean camel is bigger than a horse, the peak period of the Nanaya family had passed at that time. Although it was still very dangerous, the edge had been blunted a lot.

In comparison, the Tono family is strong and powerful. Not only has it integrated its forces, but the current head of the branch family, the branch family, is also a return to his ancestral blood. His own existence is the mysterious red ghost god, with superb combat power.

Although he is on the verge of losing control, the increase in inhuman blood has also greatly improved his combat power.

In this way, the destruction of the Nanaya family is a foregone conclusion. If there is enough, he can even adopt the children of the Nanaya family and use them as weapons and tools after brainwashing.

That's right, not to mention opening champagne halfway, the proud Tono Makihisa at that time had already started thinking about what to do after the war.

——He had already completed the adoption procedures for a pair of twins from the Wujing family.

Among the four exorcist families, the Wujing family specializes in prayers, summoning spirits, etc. In modern times, they belong to the lineage of witches, but in ancient times, they seemed to be a family of sorcerers who made a living by cursing.

Due to this nature, they are more inclined to inherit technology and knowledge than blood inheritance.

Therefore, unlike Qiye and Liangyi, they have many branches.

The Wujo family, which has been discontinued in Guanbuzi City, is a branch of Wujing.

This gave Tono Makihisa the opportunity to take action.

Although the twin sisters named Amber and Jade were not only young in age, but also violated taboos because of their birth method, they were not recognized by the Wujing family and did not receive the proper training

But what he cared about was not knowledge or age, but the Wujing family's superpower called empathy.

This ability can be used to distribute one's own physical strength to others through the exchange of body fluids, thereby achieving the effect of replenishment or strengthening.

For him who is almost unable to control the reversal impulse, this is the best special medicine.

After this battle, he plans to use the twin sisters, Amber and Emerald, to relieve the reversal impulse by aggression.

Out of his own bad taste, Tono Makihisa also specifically set the date on their eighth birthday.

However, at this critical moment when it is about to enter the world line of Tsukihime.

Maybe it is because there are too many flags set, or it may be that the means are too despicable, Tono Makihisa's dream not only did not come true, but also put himself in it.

After all, the previous story track of Type-Moon has been completely involved in the storm of turmoil because of a reckless man.

Psychics, magicians, fairy tale witches, root princesses, and even the human rights protection agency in Antarctica, these behemoths are not immune, let alone Tono Makihisa.

Just one of the tiny fluctuations was an irresistible storm for him.

For example, because Miss Ryougi did not enter the world line called the Realm of the Sky, but was redeemed in advance, the Ryougi family also entered a stable power transfer stage and had more energy to expand its business.

The Nanaya family, who had always been in contact and had begun to change their careers, naturally came into their sight.

Therefore, although the raid was very smooth in the first half of the night, the Nanaya family received assistance in the second half of the night, including a monster-like foreign aid that made even the red horse feel ashamed.

Under such circumstances, Tono Makihisa's ambition had not been realized yet, and he fell into the reversal impulse and fell because of excessive use of power, and was killed on the spot by the head of the Nanaya family.

After the chief culprit was killed, and the top combat power was killed instantly, the Tono family, which was already out of reason, instantly became a broken army.

In the final analysis, many branch families felt that this behavior had no actual benefits, and they only accepted orders because of Tono Makihisa's arbitrary decision.

In addition, the Yoji family did not kill all the people, and only a few people would resist in the face of inevitable defeat.

Then, after paying a huge price and almost losing their previous territory, before the Tono family could lick their wounds, something even more unbearable happened.

After the return of the defeated army, Tono Akiha's brother, Tono Shiki, the eldest son of the Tono family, was stimulated by the smell of blood and death, and fell into the reversal impulse on the spot. After killing several people, he ran away with serious injuries and disappeared from the public's sight.

So, Tono Akiha, who was only eight years old, could only be pushed to the position of head of the family like another eldest lady of the Tosaka family with a similar fate.

Although her financial situation was much better than Tosaka Rin.

It has to be said that playing with superpowers is more economical than playing with gem magic. Tono Makihisa's management ability is obviously better than Tohsaka Tokiomi. In addition, he has no ambition to pursue the root, and he will not go all in casually, so he left a rich family foundation for his daughter.

But this does not mean that Tohsaka Akiha's situation is easy.

In fact, she faced much more difficulties than Tohsaka Rin at that time.

Tohsaka Rin had a normal childhood, with classmates and friends other than mystery, but because her bloodline was purer than her brother, Tohsaka Akiha was destined to be the next head of the family since she was a child. She was locked in a room and received etiquette and knowledge education, with only half an hour of game time every day.

Therefore, Tohsaka Akiha, who has been tempered and matured very early, doesn't even know who to hate.

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book and forum!

Although they inherited the same blood, Tono Akiha, who had a normal outlook, could not hate the Nanaya family as the victim. The Nanaya family was almost wiped out, and only the current head of the family and his only child could support the Yoji family until support arrived.

At present, the father and son have refused all contacts and chose to disappear in the mountains, living in seclusion from the world.

In addition, Tono Makihisa, who was not a serious person, had always had the habit of recording diaries, and wrote down the disgusting thoughts about her only two playmates.

She also learned from it the truth that was covered by her father's mask.

What's worse is that in this incident, it was not just her father's mask that was taken off, but also many branch families.

Because the family attaches more importance to the tradition of noble blood ties, and the different branches restrain each other, Tono Akiha still successfully inherited the position of the head of the family.

But the feeling of being surrounded by the ugliness and darkness of the adult world all day long is definitely not pleasant for a young girl.

She almost couldn't even keep the maid sisters who had become good playmates. Tono Makihisa was never the only one who was eyeing their abilities.

Although in order to fulfill her responsibilities, she didn't have even a minute of free time, except for sleeping and studying.

But the hidden dangers of blood and the ubiquitous scrutiny made Tono Akiha walk on thin ice every day, and even pessimistically thought that she might suddenly end up like her father one day in the future because of pressure.

However, for the current girl, those memories are already a past worth remembering.

Yes, miss.

This is not because she felt relieved about the pain in the past when she grew up, but that there were better things to dilute the discomfort at that time.

Just like the lovers in the movie who came together after going through hardships, even if those misunderstandings and hardships are full of bitterness and dangers, as long as they finally get the result, they will laugh it off.

That being said, her first encounter with the other party was not as beautiful as in the love movie.

The girl still remembers his words.

"Because I am a person who can't ignore the beautiful girl of tomorrow, so... please give me more advice in the future, little Akiha."

This sentence is the starting point of the encounter between Tono Akiha and the existence she wrote as Roland and read as teacher.

…………

"Miss?"

The maid standing by respectfully reminded Tono Akiha softly, pulling Tono Akiha back to reality from her memories.

"Am I distracted?"

Tono Akiha pressed her long black and smooth hair that was draped straight behind her back, and the weak color on her beautiful face disappeared, leaving only the calm and awe-inspiring beauty.

"Yeah, I've been looking at it for a while."

The girl with a slender figure, wearing a classic maid outfit decorated with white ruffles, with golden pupils and fiery red short hair, and a ribbon tied behind her head, was not frightened by the sudden sullenness of Tono Akiba.

The gentle smile on her pretty face seemed to never fade.

"Even if you think of something good, it's almost time to rest."

"Really... I know, Amber."

Tono Akiba pressed her eyebrows and turned her eyes to the pile of documents on the desk.

Although she is already familiar with the duties of the head of the Tono family, as an active female high school student, the girl's daily workload is not low.

"But I have to finish the family affairs first."

"You usually deal with it together during the student council, why do you want to change this habit, you are busy enough, right?"

Amber said softly, with a hint of curiosity in her clear pupils.

...Of course, it will be to spend more time with the teacher who is always in my heart.

Although she thought so in her heart, Tono Akiha certainly couldn't say it out loud.

After all, as the head of the Tono family, she has always been strict with herself and always needs to be elegant.

Because of this, even if Kohaku is more like a family member than a maid in her heart, they also maintain the etiquette between master and servant in their daily interactions.

Since she initially called the other party "sir" out of respect and gratitude, the girl couldn't overcome her shyness when this relationship was somewhat deteriorated.

"It's just to train myself. If I always hold such a lax attitude, it will be bad if I am at a loss when encountering emergencies later."

"..."

Amber blinked and didn't expose this lame excuse.

"That's right. Recently, there have been a lot of strange rumors here in Misaki. If you think that life will remain unchanged, you will definitely fall."

"Rumors?"

Tono Akiha was slightly stunned and frowned.

As the price of controlling Misaki, the Tohno family also has the responsibility to regularly maintain the spiritual veins to prevent mysterious anomalies from interfering with the present world.

Generally speaking, this information is collected by Kohaku, the maid, and then handed over to her.

"I didn't see the relevant information in today's affairs. Has it not been confirmed yet?"

"Not really. I have already collected and confirmed the information of the witnesses, but..."

Kohaku chuckled, "Lord Roland has taken them away in advance, saying that he doesn't want you to be so tired."

"Really..."

... Just like before, the teacher can always detect my uneasiness at the critical moment.

Although if someone else took the initiative like this, Tohno Akiha would probably have been furious, but when the target was Roland, the girl's heart was only filled with the joy of being noticed.

However, you can't be too careless.

Thinking of the beautiful women around Roland now, Tohno Akiha still raised her head and asked.

"What kind of rumor is it?"

"There are many versions, but the one that is most credible is that one." Amber tilted her head and said softly.

"Vampire."

"——There is a blonde vampire wandering in the city." (End of this chapter)
