My mother's love song

"Thank you for your trouble, Amber. I drank it with gratitude."

"No, no, please don't be polite to me.

Master Fujino has always taught us that you are the true master of the Asagami family, so please don’t take people like me seriously.”

It was actually the first time that Rhodes met Amber, because it was in front of Fujino. Her tone was polite, which was completely different from her attitude on the phone.

I still prefer the amber over there, the boy thought.

"You are right. The master is the supreme and honorable master of the Qianshen family. Keep it in mind, Amber."

"Yes, Master Fujino."

Being stared at by Fujino with deep affection, Rhode suddenly felt a gaze coming straight at him from behind.

At some point, Emerald quietly returned to the room and was staring at Rhodes from the corner, her eyes revealing a determination to refuse to admit defeat.

It's no use staring at me like this...

Three girls, three pairs of eyes, all focused on the boy.

Rhodes moistened his throat with black tea, then got down to business and explained to them what happened tonight.

The ones who attacked the Asagami mansion tonight were Tono Shinhisa, or to be more precise, the mixed-race troops he sent out, including the Tono main family, branch family, and mercenaries.

"An army composed of mixed-bloods...?" Fujino frowned slightly.

"Yes."

Then, Rhodes revealed to them the full picture of the evil deeds that Shinjiu Tono had committed in the past.

More than ten years ago, in order to get his hands on the Saiki family's property, Toono Shinhisa sold the information of his fellow half-blood to the Demon Exorcist Organization. With the help of the Demon Exorcists, he eliminated the Saiki family and replaced them, and developed the Toono family to its current size.

Among the people who worked with him to eliminate Saiki at the time was a man named Nanaya Huangli.

"...Nanaye."

Fujino frowned.

"Yes, it's that Demon Exorcist Nanaya."

Nanaya inherited super powers through heredity and is feared as the natural enemy of hybrids.

The last head of the family, Qiye Huangli, practiced and studied assassination skills since he was a child, and made a living by assassinating half-bloods.

Nanaya Huangli, who thought he would live his whole life as a killer, found himself with the birth of his son.

Nanaya Huangli retired from the demon-exorcism business and lived in seclusion in the mountains, but he was still seen as a threat by Tono Makihisa, a hybrid of human and demon.

During the battle to annihilate the Saiki family, Shinhisa Toono witnessed Nanaya Yori's horrific killing skills with his own eyes, and was almost killed by him in his excitement, which caused him to develop a fear.

So a few years ago, he led his men to attack the already retired Qiye family.

"What a villain."

Fujino asked incredulously: "Has the Nanaya family... been destroyed?"

Rhode nodded and said, "After all, that monster was involved in that battle."

When he was a child, Zajian Hongma was imprisoned by old man Saiki. After the Saiki family was destroyed, Tono Shinhisa took him in for several years.

In order to repay the favor, Zhajian Hongmo participated in the action to attack Qiye.

There was no human who could defeat that red ghost, and Qiye Huangli was no match for it either, so the Qiye family was destroyed.

“But even an invincible monster like that can’t defeat the master!

A clean and quick kill! You are worthy of being the strongest and most powerful master!"

Amber smiled and flattered, and Fujino thought faintly: This is exactly what I was about to say...

After that, Rhodes said some irrelevant words to them.

For example, Shinhisa Toono did not actually kill all of Nanaya, but instead left behind Nanaya Huangli's son.

Nanaya Huangli's son happens to have a similar pronunciation to Tono Shinjiu's son, both are named Shiki

Of course he wouldn't show mercy for this reason.

Toono Shinhisa wanted to use Nanaya's blood to suppress Toono's extra-human blood, so he spared his young son's life.

Shinji Tono gave him a hint, erasing his childhood memories, and made him the adopted son of the Tono family, naming him Shiki Tono.

Fujino murmured: "So, something like this happened..."

"And, Tono Shinhisa probably wants to obtain amber and jade for the same purpose."

Fujino said: "Are you saying that he wants to rely on the blood of the Wujing family to suppress the mixed blood in his body?"

"!"

Jade's beautiful expressionless and emotionless face revealed an expression of astonishment.

Rhodes said: "Yes. As a member of the Tono clan, Tono Makihisa himself also has the problem of reverse impulse, and the situation becomes more serious as he gets older.

In order to alleviate his symptoms, six years ago, he went to Wu Jing's house and planned to adopt the two sisters Amber and Jade, but had to give up because of your obstruction.

After that, he must have been trying to find other means to suppress the urge to reverse.

Fortunately, the Tono family is very rich. In this era, as long as you have money, you can basically do anything...

During these years, Shinhisa Toono has been trying hard to suppress the hybrid blood in his body.

It may work at first, but as time goes by, no matter what you do, it won't work.

The time I can stay sane is getting shorter and shorter every day. I heard that Tono Shinjiu actually handed over the family business to his daughter at the beginning of this year, and he has actually retreated to the second line. "

Rhodes took the second cup of black tea from Amber.

“Although he has semi-retired, Tono Shinhisa is still tormented by the urge to reverse his behavior every day.

One day, he suddenly thought of the Wu Jing sisters who were taken away by the Qian Shen family six years ago.

For him at this time, the Wu Jing sisters can be said to be the last straw.

That's why he would not hesitate to go to war with the Qianshen family and attack here."

This was the context of tonight's events, and Rod concluded by placing the red teacup back on the coffee table.

Although Tono Shinhisa is a lawless person, he would never attack the Asagami family without a sufficient reason.

The purpose is not revenge, but to capture the Wu Jing sisters.

Fujino completely accepted his explanation, but

"I have a question."

Fujino frowned slightly and was very hesitant, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"Do you know how the Wujing branch family's ability works?"

Rhodes nodded slowly: "Of course I know."

"If you know, then you should understand..."

Fujino pursed her lips and lowered her long eyelashes.

"When I took Amber and Jade in, they were less than ten years old."

"So what?"

After Rod said this, Fujino took a deep breath.

Jade's body trembled slightly.

Amber is wrapped in a quiet atmosphere.

"Unlike the Wujing family, which acquired abilities through technology and learning, the branch family possesses power from birth.

Their abilities are buried in their blood, and the way to activate their abilities is also through their blood."

Amber closed her eyes.

Emerald looked at Rhodes in disbelief and listened to him.

"The Wujing branch's ability is activated by exchanging body fluids, which is...

Based on this, when using Wu Jing as a tool to suppress the reversal impulse, there is no need to consider the other party's age.

Even a nine-year-old girl.”

Absolute silence fell over the room, and they remained silent.

"If I hadn't had the urge to go to Wu Jing's house and adopt Amber and Jade..."

Fujino asked uncertainly.

Rhode answered affirmatively: "I'm afraid that the Tono family will use amber and jade as "tools" to suppress the reversal."

"...!!!"

Emerald stared at the floor, clutching her arms as Amber patted her sister's back soothingly.

"I think I talked too much. Let's forget about the uncomfortable content."

Rhodes said to the Wu Jing sisters.

Emerald shook her head, "No, thank you so much for telling us all."

Then, she turned to Asagami Fujino and bowed deeply.

The girl said nothing, but Fujino could read a strong sense of gratitude from her respectful posture.

Fujino said expressionlessly, "If you want to thank someone, thank the master. I was planning to present you to the master.

Besides, if the master hadn't arrived in time tonight, you would have ended up falling into the hands of Tono Shinjiu."

"Um……"

Jade nodded in agreement, then bowed her head to thank the boy.

"Thanks you."

Amber also lowered her head.

Rhodes said this without any intention of seeking credit, but he still frankly accepted their kindness and nodded.

When the conversation ended, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

The young man stood up, followed closely by the female head of the Asagami clan.

"Master, will you stay overnight? I will help you change clothes and go to bed."

"Well, please."

Rhodes turned and said to Amber and Emerald.

"You two should rest early tonight, and accompany me back to Tokyo to visit the Tono family tomorrow."

"Yes."

The Wu Jing sisters bent their waists deeply until the boy left the room.

"I want to go with you tomorrow, too."

"Do you have work this afternoon?"

"Ugh...!"

"As a reward for Fujino's hard work...I will love you well until morning."

"Owner……"

The sounds in the corridor gradually faded away.

The Wu Jing sisters, who remained bowed, looked at each other.

Amber gave her sister a playful smile.

Jade's eyebrows were slightly frowned, with a complex and indescribable expression on her face.

Although their reactions were different, the two sisters felt an overwhelming sense of relief.

I remembered what Fujino said during education in the past.

"Our master is a noble and kind being. It is an honor and happiness to be favored by him."

The twin sisters thought quietly: It seems that Miss Fujino did not lie.
