As a Ninja, I Just Want to Eat Soft Rice in the Moon

"Hello." x2

The maids and sisters bowed to the two of them.

Higashino Kanou looked behind the four members of the Tono family, and when no one appeared, he hesitated and asked:

"Are the four of you alone in the Tono family?"

Generally speaking, a house as big as the Tono family's cannot be kept busy without hiring ten or eight servants, or raising a few retainers as servants.

Taking the Liangyi family as an example, there are usually more than ten servants permanently stationed in the courtyard, plus more than [-] retainers. It is these servants and retainers who maintain the normal operation of the Liangyi family.

"Yes."

Tono Akiba nodded dignifiedly, with indescribable elegance in her temperament, she added:

"Due to some reasons, my brother has been fostered in a branch home and didn't come back until recently. In order to let my brother adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, I deliberately dismissed all the servants except Amber and Jade."

"So it's like this, I'm a little jealous that Tohno-kun has you as a sister." Dongye Zou praised from the bottom of his heart.

Tono Akiba blushed, as if she had been told something in her heart, she said shyly:

"I'm just doing my duty as a younger sister."

After the simple courtesies were over, Tono Akiba brought Higashino Kanae into his home.

Entering a spacious and bright waiting room, Higashinozao and the two sat around a simple wooden long table with flowers and fruits on the long table. After a while, the maid brought fragrant black tea and snacks.

Tohno Akiba is the host, sitting at one end of the long table, Higashino Kanaru and Alquette are the guests, sitting on the side next to Tohno Akiba, two maids are standing by the side waiting to serve, and Tohno Shiki will do his best Due to the responsibility of the eldest son, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit opposite Dong Yezao.

Tono Akiha picked up the hot tea, took a sip, looked at Higashino Kou and asked with a smile:

"I don't know why Higashino-kun is visiting this time? Are you here on behalf of Liangyi's family?"

Generally speaking, invitations should be sent to the host three days to one week in advance, so that the host can make preparations and avoid losing face.That's why Higashino's visit was so urgent that Tohno Akiba guessed that the other party was in a hurry.

"The next thing I'm going to talk about is on that side. Do you think it's necessary for the family to avoid it?"

Higashino Kou knocked on the table without calling names directly.

That side... the magic side... Tohno Akiha immediately understood Higashino Kou's meaning. She glanced at Tohno Shiki who was sitting upright, shook her head and said:

"Please tell me, there is no one here to avoid."

"Since the matter is more urgent, I will make a long story short."

Higashino put one hand on his chin, organized his words and asked:

"I wonder how much Ms. Tono knows about the Dead Apostles?"

"Dead Apostle?"

Tono Akiba frowned slightly, as if hearing something bad, paused for a moment and said:

"I know the concept of common sense. My Tono family, as a member of the Tuemon family, has been fighting non-human creatures since ancient times. What do you want to say?"

"Dead disciples have appeared in Sansaki Town. There are a lot of them, and a big person is involved." Higashino said with a serious face.

Everyone present except Higashino Kano and Alquite were stunned for a moment. Tohno Akiba first showed doubts, and then thought that a "big man" like Higashino Kano didn't have to lie to her, the patriarch of a small family. After reading the news for a few days, Tono Akiha showed a dazed look.

"No wonder there are so many disappearance cases in the city recently. It turns out that there are dead disciples who committed crimes. These damned creatures should all go to hell!"

Tono Akiba slammed the teacup onto the ceramic floor with a slap, her eyes closed, and anger was brewing in the silence.

As the person in charge of the spiritual veins of Misaki Town, the Tono family has the responsibility to kill the inhuman creatures in the territory, protect ordinary people, and ensure that the mystery will not be exposed.

And a group of dead disciples cannibalize people at will on the territory of the Tono family, this is a slap in the face of the Tono family!

PS: 8000 words today, let’s celebrate.

Chapter 306 302. Nero Attacks

Tohno Akiba quickly calmed down, looking at Higashino Kou with a more friendly look.

"Thank you for bringing us the news about the Dead Apostles. Our Tohno family will handle this matter well and wipe out all the Dead Apostles who are still in the city." Tono Akiba pressed his chest with one hand and promised.

Higashino shook his head, took a sip of black tea and said slowly:

"The purpose of my visit to you is not just to let you deal with the dead disciples in the jurisdiction. To put it simply, I need your assistance."

"Assist?" Tono Akiba stared, instinctively aware of the danger of the matter.

"Does Ms. Tono know about the Twenty Seventh Ancestor of the Dead Apostles?" Dong Yezou asked.

"I've read the information about the twenty-seven ancestors of the dead disciples in the book, could it be!"

Tohno Akiba stood up abruptly, her face full of disbelief, her hand supporting the table trembled slightly.

"That's right, the Dead Apostle who caused chaos in Misaki Town this time is one of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostle, the "Snake of Akasha" Roja." Higashino Kou nodded calmly, which matched the shock of Tono Akiba sharp contrast.

What is the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles... Tohno Shiki looked at his shocked sister, feeling very confused.

"Another cup of black tea, please."

Higashino Kou handed the cup to the maid who was closest to him. The maid didn't seem to hear it, she looked like she was thinking, and her face was a little heavy.

"Amber! Refill tea for the guests."

As the master, Tohno Akiha saw that the maid did not respond, and raised her volume to remind her.

Only then did the maid named Amber come to her senses, bowed and apologized and said:

"I'm very sorry, because I saw the introduction of the twenty-seven ancestors of the dead disciples in the master's collection before, so I was frightened."

Being frightened, those eyes don't look like being frightened... Higashino Sou, who has strong insight, keenly sensed the abnormality of Amber, but did not speak, but acted as if nothing had happened.

In Higashino Zuo's view, this maid might be hiding some secret, but Higashino Zuo didn't know her purpose, and also had no evidence, so he had to raise his vigilance against her in his heart.

Kohaku added tea to Higashino Kou, and Tono Akiha thought about it for a while, then said hesitantly:

"If the "Snake of Akasha" is really causing trouble, then this is beyond what the Tono family can handle. You said you came here for help, right?"

"That's right." Higashino nodded slightly, "I need you to cooperate with me. You are responsible for searching for the hidden dead in Misaki Town. I will kill them, including "Akasha Snake" Roja."

"you……"

Tono Akiha looked suspiciously. She thought that Higashino Kou was about the same age as her, and wondered in her heart whether Higashino Kou had the strength to fight against the twenty-seven ancestors of the dead disciples.

But after thinking about it, Dong Yezuo came from the Liangyi family that had exaggeratedly risen in recent years, and was the fiancé of the head of the Liangyi family, so he must have extraordinary skills, so he swallowed his doubts.

"I see, how can we cooperate with you?"

Tohno Akiha put her hands together on the table, and turned her thumbs nervously.

"It's very simple. The time for us to act is night."

"During the day, you mobilize your family's power to search for possible reincarnations of the Dead Apostles and Roja, and report the target's location to me. I will kill the Dead Apostles when night comes."

"That's no problem, I will mobilize all the members of the branch to search for it. As for Roja's reincarnation body, Misaki Town has a large population, so if you search blindly, the success rate is very low. You have the characteristics of Roja's reincarnation body, which is convenient for us to find ?"

Tono Akiha, who has systematically studied magic knowledge, still knows about Roja's reincarnation.

"Elquite."

Higashino looked at Alquite who was sitting quietly. No one could understand the characteristics of Roja's reincarnation better than this true ancestor who had hunted and killed Roja for hundreds of years.

"Every time Roja reincarnates, he usually chooses someone whose family is very influential in the local area and has special abilities as the host, because this will make it easier for Roja to recover his strength as soon as possible and control the local area." Airquet recalled.

He has influence in the local area and has special abilities... Higashino Kou subconsciously looked at the two Tono brothers and sisters, and gently shook the teacup.

"Are you doubting me?"

Sensing Higashino Kou's eyes locked on her, Tohno Akiba frowned and showed displeasure, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

"No, no, I believe that Ms. Tono is not one of those damned dead disciples, but out of prudence and to clear Ms. Tono's suspicion, let's make a confession."

Higashino shook his head and smiled kindly, his handsome appearance made people feel uneasy.

"Yes, neither me nor my brother will be Roja's reincarnation. What do you think, brother?"

Tohno Akiha looked at Tohno Shiki, hoping to get his support, but found that Tohno Shiki's body was shaking. It was obviously not hot, but his face was covered with sweat, and he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother, are you feeling unwell again?" Tohno Akiha reached out to support the trembling Tohno Shiki, and asked with concern on his face.

"Ah! Qiu, Qiuye, I seem to be suffering from anemia again. I'm sorry, I'll go back to my room to rest first."

Tohno Shiki raised his head in shock, showing a forced smile.Then, without waiting for Tohno Akiba to say anything, she got up alone, and hurriedly left the living room.

"elder brother……"

Tohno Akiba looked at Tohno Shiki's leaving back, holding his hands together uneasy, with a sad face.

"Jade, go and take care of your brother."

Tono Akiba winked at the maid Jade.

"As ordered."

Jade saluted, then hurriedly left the room.

Tohno Akiba sat back on the stool with a feeling of uneasiness, and smiled reluctantly:

"I'm laughing at you. My brother has been in poor health since he was a child. After seeing many doctors, he can't be cured. He often passes out for no reason."

Airquite's red eyes examined Tono Akiba, and after a while, Airquite approached Higashino Kanao and said:

"The man who killed me once is very suspicious, and I can feel a trace of Roja's breath in him. Could he be the host of Roja's life?"

"No." Dong Yezao replied in the affirmative.

Although Higashino Zuo has almost forgotten the plot of "Yue Ji", but if you think about it with your toes, you can tell that the hero is definitely not the villain boss behind the scenes, at most there is some connection.

"Let's rule out your suspicions first. Dead Apostle activities are usually at night. If Roja doesn't want to expose himself, he should also act in the dead of night. Where are you these nights?" Higashino asked.

"I've been at home resting at night all week, and Amber can testify."

As soon as Tono Akiba finished speaking confidently, her expression became tangled again, because the maid's confession was not evidence at all, and she, as the master, could naturally collude.

Higashino Zuo naturally knew that the confession of acquaintances was not considered evidence, but he had other considerations, so he didn't point out this point, but said something lightly.

"I believe you."

Tohno Akiba breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, she felt relieved to be able to get the support of outsiders at this time.

"Then that man is your brother!"
