Volume Nine: Chapter 415 — Tohno Akiha’s Circumstances

The Tohno family mansion stood within Tokyo.

Beyond a long slope lay a hilltop overlooking the city. That entire hilltop, including the surrounding forest, was the Tohno family’s private property.

If the Amamiya and Tohsaka residences were luxurious homes that ordinary families would envy, then the Tohno estate was a sanctuary beyond anything most people could imagine.
