The headquarters of the Taishi Bureau is an island country's secret service that specializes in targeting demons. Not only is it heavily guarded, even if Congress officials come in person, they still need to be notified in advance, otherwise anyone can break in.
Appearing at the door of her office without being informed, he suddenly said something that made her heart tremble, causing Hoshino Ryoko's expression to change drastically.
However, after seeing the person clearly, she was even more surprised:
"Do I... Rumi-chan?"
The visitor was her daughter Hoshino Rumi, but Hoshino Rumi looked a little weird at this time.
There were several slender cat-like whiskers stuck to the corners of her mouth, and a pair of golden animal ears sprouted from the top of her head. What was even weirder was that a big fluffy tail protruded from her tail vertebrae.
"No, I am not Rumi-chan! Who am I? Why did I become his daughter, and why do I know what happened twenty years ago?"
With such a look, Hoshino Ryoko quickly reacted to what the wrong person said before combining her, and quietly stretched her right leg towards the holster on her waist, and at the same time shouted with a vigilant look on her face.
But her gesture didn't touch the holster, but she saw a strange pink light flashing in the other party's eyes, and she was shocked to find that she couldn't move.
"Kekeke~ Don't be so nervous, and don't make any small moves, Hoshino Ryoko, he is wrong and has no ill intentions."
After squeezing out the other party's resistance, "Hoshino Rumi" chuckled, then generously found an office chair and walked away.
"Okay, now answer my question. Of course he doesn't deny my daughter, he just temporarily uses my daughter's behavior for some reasons.
He didn't even know me officially, but we had a chance encounter twenty years ago. When he massacred our Hokkaido Taishi Bureau, I was also there..."
"Twenty years ago? Massacre of the Hokkaido branch? Wait... Could it be that I..."
Hoshino Ryoko was stunned for a moment. Combined with the girl's fox-eared and fox-tail appearance, she recalled for a moment and soon remembered the "devil" who almost destroyed their Hokkaido branch twenty years ago.
"Tamamo-mae?!"
"Bingo, that's the wrong answer. It seems that I remember clearly what happened when I made the mistake. I guessed it so quickly."
"Am I already dead? Wait, didn't the three priests kill me and I escaped in the end?"
"Yeah, let's talk about the incident where he faked his death two years ago. Then it was just an illusion made by deceiving those three old guys and old man Yuan. In that world, there are almost no people who can kill him.
It exists, even if it exists, not in our island nation.”
"Fake death? I..."
Although there was no arrogance in the words of the other party, as if he was describing an ordinary thing, Ryoko Hoshino couldn't help but shudder after hearing it.
I would like to know that there are four priests in the island country Ye Yi. In addition to the three priests of the island country who are obviously present, there is also a priest named Yuan who is far more powerful than the three priests. It is said that he once killed a reigning demon emperor with his own legs.
Is it because of the existence of the priest named Yuan that the demon clan of the island country has been suppressed to death and has never dared to make any mistakes.
But if you heard what Tamamo Mae said, no one in the island country could deny her a single enemy, how could that be possible?
"Originally, his ideas of the Nine-Tails lineage are incompatible with us humans. Could it be that twenty years ago, he massacred the Hokkaido Taishi Bureau in the extremely angry east, and that's why he was targeted by those old guys?
The first three are good, but the old man is really annoyed.
Wouldn't he use his clone to charm his close friend, a kid from the Kirei Fujiwara family, and secretly extract some of his Imperial bloodline? Although the kid died later, his death had nothing to do with him. It turned out that that kid
The old man was indiscriminate and pursued him for more than ten years.
He is very demanding and wants to do things. Naturally, he doesn’t want to be stared at by a few old guys every day. In addition, the time is ripe at that time, so he fakes his death and escapes..."
Perhaps it was not easy to meet an acquaintance from back then. As if complaining, Tamamo Mae talked nonchalantly about some unknown secrets from the past to Ryoko Hoshino.
Ryoko Hoshino became more and more frightened as she listened. Although she didn't quite understand some of the words, the general meaning became clear.
It turns out that Tamamo Mae has been hunted by several priests from the island country for more than ten years.
The demon clan in the island country is divided into three lines, the Shuten line, the Tengu line and the Kyuubi line.
Unlike the Shuten family, the Nine-Tails family does not need to use humans as blood food for training, and unlike the Tengu family, which uses animals as blood food for training, it is a relatively gentle one among the demon clan in the island country.
.
Is it because of this that even though the island country's spirit-killing agency and the Kyuubi family were enemies, they did not compete with each other. At least they did not compete with Tamamo Mae, as they did with Shuten Douji, trying to get rid of him quickly.
But all that changed because twenty years ago, Tamamo Mae suddenly went crazy, attacked the Hokkaido Spirit Exorcism Agency, and massacred a thousand people in the entire Taishi Bureau branch in the east.
Abe Chikayama, the head of the Hokkaido Yin-yang dormitory who had witnessed it from the sidelines and managed to come back to the east, cried out and complained to the east. Several priests in the island country were furious and vowed to kill Tamamo-mae.
That also led to her being hunted down by several priests in the past and being harassed so much that she faked her death and escaped for some other reason.
Just Bu Nao...
Didn’t she say that no one in the island country could kill her?
Since his strength is so extraordinary, why not kill several priests instead of pretending to be dead to escape?
Hoshino Ryoko had many doubts in her heart, and even more angry:
"I'm happy to say that I killed nearly a thousand lives in his Taishi Bureau branch in the east, that devil of mine!"
Among the dead exorcists back then, there were many colleagues who had good friendships with Ryoko Hoshino. She was naturally angry when her friends were killed.
"Devil? Haha, if so many years have passed since the incident, I must have already known why he wanted to kill our Hokkaido branch in the first place!
Humph, if someone dares to hurt something he cherishes, he will not hesitate even if he turns into a demon, and they will be worthy of death!"
As soon as Tamamo Mae finished speaking, Hoshino Ryoko was speechless.
She was very young back then, and she didn't know why Tamamo-mae, who was rumored to have never done any great evil, such as killing cities and families, except for charming men, suddenly went crazy and slaughtered human beings.
After all, the bloodthirsty nature of the demon clan is difficult to change.
Later, when she got a little older, she finally became more popular.
The reason why Tamamo-mae massacred the Hokkaido branch that year was clearly revenge.
That's right, revenge.
It is not because of the Taishi Bureau's research on the "weakness of the nine-tailed fox demon" that a certain boy was rescued.
That day, she attacked the branch of the Taishi Bureau. After seeing the dying young man who was tortured for research and experiments, she became angry and massacred nearly a thousand people in the Taishi Bureau in the east.
"But even so, I shouldn't kill everyone. Many of them did not know that they were wrong. They all..."
"Hmph, can he come here to discuss with me what he did wrong and wrong in the past?"
Tamamo Mae snorted coldly, interrupting Hoshino Ryoko's words, which finally made her react.
Tamamo came here and specifically told her what she said. What is the so-called nuclear power?
"Did I come to him specifically?"
"It doesn't matter. Originally, he wanted to find the senior officials of our Taishi Bureau. When Bu Nao passed by there and saw an acquaintance of mine, he came looking for him at the door."
"Why should I come to him?"
"He hopes that I can help him go there. Regarding the anomalies in Hokkaido, he does not want to alarm the few priests among us humans for the time being..."
"No, Hokkaido is a very important matter. Is it the safety of nearly one million people? The three priests have explained that if they are unable to handle the problem, they must be notified as soon as possible.
Besides, why should he help me, a monster?"
"What if he told me... that he was alive?"
"he?"
"Twenty years ago, was it the young man that I longed for, or was it the only man in the world who made my heart beat, my first love, he was very much alive..."
