Abnormal Moon

"She's been taken away."

"who is it?"

"This one……"

The middle-aged man looked troubled.

"explain."

Roy narrowed his eyes, too lazy to press for answers, and his tone naturally carried a magical quality, his words falling into the ears of the person in charge as if they were bewitching.

"The mayor took it away."

The middle-aged man was stunned, his eyes losing their focus.

She was clearly hypnotized.

The girl named Inoue felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing this scene and quietly took a few steps back.

mayor?

Is he the mayor of Tokyo?

Roy tilted his head and typed a few question marks.

He knows who the mayor of Tokyo is, so how could he possibly lack manpower?

"A few days?"

"Three days ago."

Roy understood and broke the hypnosis.

The middle-aged man snapped out of his daze, his expression changing drastically as he looked at Roy with awe.

You're a magician, why didn't you say so earlier?

He glanced at Roy's chest, where he saw that he wasn't wearing any rank badges issued by the Mage's Association.

"Perfect timing! I also have business to discuss with that mayor in Tokyo, so I'll pay him a visit!"

Roy waved to Inoue.

"Thank you for showing me the way."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left the refugee camp, quickly disappearing from their sight.

"call……"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but breathe a heavy sigh of relief. He had been hypnotized for no reason, but thankfully his brain hadn't been damaged, or he would have been in serious trouble.

"By the way, Inoue, the higher-ups said that if you come back safely, they'll give you two days off. Go back and rest for the next two days; you look exhausted."

"I understand."

Inoue's face remained tense, but the weariness in his eyes eased slightly. He returned to the city hall to hand over his tasks and then turned and left.

She traveled through time with her companions.

After transmigrating, they were fortunate enough to land in the city. Their outstanding combat skills quickly earned them the appreciation of the mayor, who not only recruited them into the guard team and made them squad leaders, but also cleared their refugee status and assigned them housing.

Her companion, who was restless, completely ignored her advice and went her own way, converting the house into a coffee shop.

"Hopefully that guy didn't cause any trouble in the store..."

…………

Following his memory, Roy arrived at a manor.

That's right, in this prime real estate of New Tokyo, the mayor himself shamelessly occupied an estate as his own home.

The manor was enormous, covering more than a hundred acres, larger than a football field. The three-story mansion standing there could be seen clearly even through the courtyard wall, but it looked deserted, like a ghost mansion, with a cold and empty atmosphere emanating from it.

It's said that this manor belonged to their family before the Great Cataclysm, so there's nothing that can be said about it.

"Ding dong!"

Roy rang the doorbell at the front door.

A short while later, a very lively voice came from inside.

"Yes, yes, they're here! May I ask who is visiting?"

Chapter 294 The Tono Clan

Appearing before Roy was a girl dressed in a dark brown Japanese-style maid outfit.

She had short, rose-red hair that reached her ears, tied with a dark blue bow at the back of her head. Her dark golden eyes radiated a pure and cheerful aura, and her thick eyelashes fluttered like raven feathers.

She opened the gate, and the old-fashioned double-leaf gate opened with a thud, fluttering to both sides to reveal a snow-white stone-paved road leading to the mansion.

"I am a person sent by Fuyuki City to provide support, and I would like to meet the mayor."

Roy pulled the emergency request for assistance from Tokyo out of his pocket and showed it to the girl.

"The reinforcements arrived so quickly? Wow, that was fast!"

The girl covered her lips in disbelief, behaving very ladylike, while looking at Roy with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Please come in with me, the mayor is at home!"

The girl gestured as if to guide Roy into the manor.

"How should I address you, Master Magician?"

"My name is Roy, just call me by my first name."

“Alright, Lord Roy, then you can just call me by my name—Amber! Lord Akiha should be in his study right now. He's lost a lot of hair lately because of the increased number of cursed spirit disasters. He must be very worried. I really hope his smooth hair doesn't go bald so soon…”

The girl was very talkative; once she started talking, she would go on and on as if she couldn't stop.

Is it really okay for you to criticize your owner's hair like that?

"Haha, as long as you don't say it in front of Lord Akiha, it'll be fine!"

The girl led Roy across the wide stone-paved road, past the fountain at the entrance, and arrived in front of the three-story Western-style mansion, which was over a hundred meters wide. With a creak, the double mahogany doors opened.

"Please wait a moment in the reception room, I will go and inform Lord Akiba!"

After leading Roy to the first-floor reception room, the girl Amber ran towards the double staircase at the end of the first-floor hall.

Not long after, the door to the reception room opened.

A young girl walked into the reception room.

"I apologize for the rudeness of having such a distinguished guest. I am Akiha Tono, the mayor of Tokyo."

The girl brushed her waist-length black hair behind her ear and sat down opposite Roy.

She looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a long, floor-length dress with a fluffy collar that looked very warm. Her black hair was as smooth and silky as Amber had described, making her undoubtedly a beautiful young woman.

His cool and aloof appearance carries a hint of detachment, making him seem unattainable.

"My name is Roy."

Roy briefly introduced himself, then looked Tono Akiha up and down for a moment.

Roy was also surprised when he learned that the mayor of Tokyo was Akiha Tono.

However, on second thought, since the setting of Princess Shingetsu is now Tokyo, and the Tono clan controls the underworld around Tokyo, it's not surprising that they could become the rulers of Neo-Tokyo.

If there are any discrepancies, it's all the fault of parallel universes.

As Roy sized up Tono Akiha, Tono Akiha was also sizing up Roy.

White hair and red eyes.

The moment that feature caught her eye, she knew Roy was a cyborg.

However, he was quite robust, unlike the stereotypical image of a android with a muscular build, exuding a strong and capable aura.

Tono Akiha understood that Roy was probably a very special android, unlike ordinary androids.

"Excuse my rudeness, but is Lord Roy the only supporter from Fuyuki City?"

Tono Akiha looked at Roy, her naturally thin eyebrows furrowing slightly.

She wrote in the letter that at least ten magicians would be needed to help the situation.

"That's right, I'm the only one providing support this time."

Roy answered Tono Akiha's question frankly.

"I know what Mayor Tono is trying to say. He simply doesn't believe in my personal abilities, right?"

Tono Akiha remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement with his guess.

Isn't this a matter of course?

No matter how strong or talented an artificial human is, its inherent defects are still there. And since you are only one person, what use is strength?

"I don't want to say too much, so I'll just say one sentence."

Seeing that Tono Akiha tacitly agreed, Roy smiled noncommittally and held up one finger.
