The two girls with pink hair are the twin maids of the Tono family. They need no introduction, Shinji knows who they are - the two orphans of the Mujing family, one of the four major demon-exorcising families. The elder sister Amber gives people a cheerful and lively impression, and the younger sister Hisui has an expressionless face like a doll.
Anyone familiar with "Tsuki-hime" knows that the Toono family is a huge pit. The source of all evil, Toono Makihisa, kept digging holes and left a huge mess for the next generation. In the end, none of the next generation of the Toono family was physically and mentally healthy. All of them had a dark history. The worst among them were the sisters Amber and Hisui.
Originally, the two sisters were not like this. They were both cheerful and lively good girls. However, Amber was constantly violated since she was eight years old as a tool to maintain her mental state, and her mind gradually collapsed. Even though she was later rescued by Akiba, she still embarked on the road of revenge to destroy the Tono family. She began to imitate her sister. In other words, her cheerfulness and liveliness were all disguises, disguises for revenge.
On the other hand, Jade also learned part of the truth, and the beautiful world in her heart completely collapsed. In order to avoid being hurt again, she chose to isolate herself, treating herself as a puppet, and unconsciously became her sister's former image.
They are a pair of twins that make people feel pity, and they are also a pair of sisters who cannot be left alone - if they are left alone, the Toono family will be burned by the fire of revenge, and no one knows how many people will survive in the end.
This is not a joke. "Tsuki-hime" has five lines and nine regular endings, but only the two lines and three endings with sisters as the protagonists reveal the truth. In one ending, Amber commits suicide, and in another ending, Amber commits suicide but is resurrected by Shiki, loses her memory, and leaves the Tohno family. Only one ending truly resolves the heart knot.
As for the other three lines and six endings, Amber's revenge plan is still being implemented. Both endings of Akiba's line will eventually lead to Shiki's death, and Akiba will be alone. If Amber doesn't let go, then Akiba will die soon. The other two lines basically don't describe the entanglement of the Tohno family, but Amber's plan is still successful. Shiki died, and it will be Akiba's turn next. Maybe in the end, only Shiki can survive.
Of course, no matter how miserable the Tono family is, it has nothing to do with Shinji, but who can blame him for his good relationship with Shiki? He might even need Shiki's help in the future - for example, against Hercules, who has 13 lives and has the "12 Trials".
I don't know how Orange has handled it. If it doesn't work, even if I have to use mental interference, I have to make Amber stop. Shinji narrowed his eyes and made a decision. Today is different from the past. In the past, Shinji was not capable enough, but now he has enough ability to do something.
At this moment, a hand brushed his hair lightly.
When I looked up, it was Orange.
"sister?"
"Don't let your mind wander. Eat first. I'll talk to you after dinner."
Hearing the deep meaning in Orange's words, Shinji nodded calmly and put his plan aside for the time being.
Knowing Akiba's personality, Shinji rarely followed the rule of "no talking while eating or sleeping". Apart from simple greetings, he ate in silence.
The explanation had already been given to Akiha in the morning, and he also promised to compensate for the impoliteness before leaving. After all, the Tono family is the manager of the Tokyo area, and both strength and influence are extremely strong. Although Shinji is not afraid, he also has to think about the Matou family and not make enemies if possible.
Akiba didn't say much, but waited patiently for Shinji's actual action, showing the demeanor that an heir of the Tono family should have.
No, he is no longer the heir, but the current head, because—
"What? You said Tono Makihisa is dead."
After lunch, in Orange's cabin, Shinji heard a piece of explosive news, which was second only to the early death of Tono Shiki. However, at this point, Shinji could quickly accept even the most explosive news, because this world line was a special product, and without the intervention of external forces, nothing was strange.
If Tono Shiki could die early, why couldn't Tono Makihisa? This also explains why there was quite a commotion last night, and only Akiba showed up, because after Akiba succeeded as the head of the family, he drove out all the clan members.
Of course, the reason still needs to be clarified.
"What's going on? It can't be related to you."
"That's right."
"Clam?"
Shinji just said it casually, but he didn't expect Orange to really admit it.
"When did it happen?"
"Soon after you were taken away by the Second Magician."
Shinji began to panic.
"So you're still living in the Tohno family? How come you... No, I'm taking you away now. It's too dangerous here. Even if you can be reincarnated, you can't joke with your life."
Seeing that Shinji was so worried about her, Orange's mouth curled up slightly and she waved her hand.
"Calm down, don't get excited. I had something to do with Makihisa's death, but I didn't kill him. He committed suicide."
"Suicide? Why?"
"Because he had come to terms with it, he didn't want to pass on the hatred he had caused to the next generation, so he committed suicide in front of Amber."
Then, Orange told what she did at Tono's house.
She entered the Tono family as a doctor, and naturally had frequent contact with Makihisa. At first, she only helped Makihisa treat his body and alleviate his condition, but she soon discovered that Makihisa's weakness was not only physical, but also poisonous, a special chronic poison.
With Orange's means, it was not difficult to find the source of the poison. It didn't take long for her to lock on the suspect. Considering some information revealed by Shinji, Orange understood the reason.
So Orange quietly detoxified Makihisa while secretly observing Amber, and also took the time to look for the whereabouts of Tono Shiki - because Shiki was dead, there would naturally be no harvest, so it took a year.
After observing for a period of time, Orange determined that Amber was not really completely immersed in hatred. She also had struggles, especially when facing her sister who she was willing to torture herself to protect, and Qiu Ye who rescued her from the fire pit.
After confirming this, Orange finally began to take action. She didn't say much about the specific operations. All we know is that she gained the trust of Makihisa and Akiha, became Akiha's tutor, and also received the service of Hisui.
With the conditions for contact with several people, Orange began to induce them in various ways. On the one hand, he asked Qiuye and Feicui to resolve Amber's hostility, and on the other hand, he increased the time of chatting with Makihisa, slowly narrowing the distance between the two, waiting for a suitable opportunity.
Just like that, a year passed, and the opportunity that Orange had been waiting for finally came. She confessed her purpose to Makishū (adapted version), and also told part of Amber's revenge plan. Finally, she told Makishū that you don’t have much time to live, and asked him what he planned to do.
Makiku was in a dilemma.
