I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Rumors refer to widely circulated or unfounded statements. They are often used together with rumors to form the Chinese idiom "gossip". They mostly refer to slanderous and slanderous statements spread behind others' backs.

Because of the social attributes and evil nature of human beings, there will be rumors wherever there are gatherings of humans. When some bizarre rumors ferment, urban ghost stories are born.

The same is true for this small city in Tokyo.

"Have you heard? Another person disappeared yesterday."

"I heard it, I heard it, it seems like a female ghost is causing trouble or something. Grandma said that there is a female ghost named Hongye who has been haunting here for many years."

"Oh, there are still people who believe in such old-fashioned legends."

"I didn't believe it before, but my dad did see it a few days ago, red hair that looked like blood, glowing in the dark night."

"Wow, it's really fake."

"Really, at least my dad has no reason to lie to me about this kind of thing."

"Could it be that your father made a mistake?"

"Probably not. He pinched himself hard at that time, and the mark is still there."

"Your father is so cruel."

"I think so too. Do you think we should look for that red-leaf female ghost?"

"What are you doing with her? You don't want your life."

"Don't you believe it?"

"I believe it now."

This was a conversation between two female students after school one day. In fact, neither the speaker nor the listener took it too seriously, but in the ears of a caring person, it has a different meaning.

"Sorry to bother you, did you just say that the red leaf female ghost? I want to ask about the specific situation."

A male student interrupted the conversation between the two.

Maybe it's because it's not an important matter, or maybe it's because the male student looks weak and honest, and the girl who claims someone in her family saw a female ghost didn't hide it.

"Just three nights ago, around 22 o'clock, the location was on the small road turning left at the second intersection ahead."

"Crossroads, paths..." The boy looked at the direction of the girl's finger, thoughtfully, "Thank you."

"Well... I also know a little bit about the legend about female ghosts. If you are interested, we can go to that cafe and sit for a while..."

Another girl suggested, but before she could finish she was interrupted by a new voice.

"No."

Another girl came over, wearing the same school uniform as the boys, with long black hair flying in the wind, and a dignified and beautiful face full of oppression because of her serious expression.

"Qiuye..." The boy glanced at the new girl. It was obvious that they knew each other.

"We have plans later, right, Shiki."

The girl gently held the boy's arm, her serious expression turned into a gentle smile, but the feeling of oppression only increased instead of decreasing.

The boy looked a little embarrassed. He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a pain in his waist. He could only smile and nodded.

"What? It turns out we have an appointment."

The girl who suggested going to the coffee shop looked disappointed and took her companions' hands to leave. As they walked, they could still hear the two talking.

"Why did you think of dating that boy? He looks ordinary, nothing good about him."

"That's because you have poor eyesight and didn't see it. That boy is very handsome, but it's blocked by his big pair of old-fashioned glasses. Ahhh, I never thought that there are people who have as good eyesight as me and are so beautiful. .”

"Shameless, you are obviously much uglier than others."

"Okay, call me ugly and I'll tear your mouth apart!!!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, you are uglier than her, but your breasts are bigger than hers."

"I like to hear this, let you go."

…

"Hehe, hehe, hehehe..."

Sneering, his long black hair trembled and danced. It was not blown by the wind, but forced out by the air pressure surrounding the autumn leaves.

"Calm down, calm down, Qiuye, you don't want the legend of the red-leaf female ghost to reappear under the sun." Zhiki quickly reassured.

After hearing what he said, Qiuye finally calmed down, and the tips of her hair that were turning red returned to their original black color. She coughed sheepishly.

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

"As expected, Qiuye cares about his figure."

Shiki's eyes paused on Qiuye's chest for a moment, but this moment still did not escape Qiuye's perception.

"Brother, are you thinking of something very rude?"

"No, absolutely not." Zhiki shook his head quickly, joking, even if he beat him to death, he wouldn't dare admit it.

After more than a year of getting along, Zhiki has figured out Qiuye's character. She looks dignified and elegant, but inside she is still the little girl she was when she was a child. He relies on himself, loses his temper from time to time, and resorts to force when he is angry, especially when a girl approaches him.

For this reason, she transferred from the aristocratic girls' school in a neighboring city to her own high school. It was a sensation the day I transferred there, and the boys went crazy. However, Qiuye ignored those boys at all. Apart from polite social interactions in school, the only one he could talk to was himself. Zhiki sadly discovered that high school life was getting further and further away from the peace he pursued.

Sometimes I really envy Mikiya, the boy sighed more than once. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Qianye was under no less pressure than him. He was very calm, but his life was not.

After sighing again, Shiki began to skillfully change the topic. This was also a trick he had learned while getting along with Qiuye.

"Qiuye, why do you want me to ask about the female ghost? Do you..."

"It's not me." Qiuye knew what his brother was going to ask and denied it directly.

"But you've been going out every night recently..."

"How did brother know that I was out? Could it be Amber..."

"It's none of their business. I saw you walking out of the entrance hall with my own eyes."

"That's because I need to investigate something... No, my brother can still see me so late. Brother, you can't... Brother, eldest brother, can you please explain it to me?"

The long hair is flying, and the pressure reappears. My brother goes out in the middle of the night. This is a big deal. What if he gets mixed up with some shady women...

"Ah hahaha, you saw through it." Zhiki rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "I also have something I want to investigate. Recently, I always feel that this city is weird and has a bad feeling. It's like... Soaking in the sink makes it difficult to breathe, especially at night. I asked Teacher Orange and he said it was the city that was 'distorting'."

"It turns out that my brother has also noticed it. Indeed, something is invading this city. As the local manager and the head of the Tono family, I have an obligation to find out the truth and prevent the abnormality from affecting ordinary citizens. So, brother ——”

"——You want to say that it's up to you? I'm sorry, but that's not possible. I am also a member of the Tono family and the eldest son. Your obligations are my obligations."

"I am the head of the family and I have the final say. My brother is not in good health and should rest at home."

"Your ability is not stable, isn't it? And I am the elder brother, and the elder brother has the obligation to protect his sister."

Qiuye stubbornly refused to agree, Zhiki argued hard, and the two refused to give in to each other.

PS: I have to admit that the human strength in "Tsukihime" is obviously a level higher than that in Fate. Look at this Shion, the next dean of Atlas Academy, her status and potential are enough to match Lorelaiya. Comparable, what about Rin, Sakura, Shirou, compared with this side, they are all weaker in terms of strength and potential.
