Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

"Ok, no problem."

The researchers immediately went to select a quinque that met Uchiha Byakuya's requirements.

"This is 'Moon Shadow', and this is 'Wind Spirit'. They are both A-grade Quinques. Take a look and see if you are satisfied."

Researchers introduced two quinque names to Uchiha Byakuya.

The quinque in its katana form is named "Moonshadow," and it is entirely dark black.

The sword-shaped Quinque is named "Wind Spirit" and is entirely silver-white.

Putting everything else aside, both of these quinques fit Uchiha Byakuya's aesthetic preferences quite well.

"Okay, let's do it this way."

Uchiha Byakuya nodded.

“Okay, then I will register both of these quinques under the name of Uchiha Superior.”

The researchers said.

............

When Mado Kureo saw Uchiha Byakuya emerge from the laboratory, he was carrying two briefcases, both of which clearly contained quinques.

Just as the two were about to leave the CGG experimental building together, they saw Mado Miyako walk in.

"Mado Jun Special Grade".

Uchiha Byakuya and Mado Kureo both greeted Mado Wei at the same time.

"Uchiha are top-tier, Mado is first-tier."

Mado Miya also responded.

She immediately noticed the two quinques in Uchiha Byakuya's hands and asked, "These are the newly issued quinques for the Uchiha elite, right?"

“That’s right, Mado-senpai secured two A-rank Quinques for me.”

Uchiha Byakuya said.

"Hmm... By the way, would you like to come over to our house for a while later? We live nearby."

At this moment, Mado Mii extended an invitation.

As for why she came here, it was to repair the Quinque that was damaged during the last battle with "One-Eyed Owl". She could leave after handing it over to the researchers and come back to pick it up after it was repaired.

"Yes, I haven't properly thanked Uchiha-sama for saving my life yet."

Mado Kureo also said.

"OK..."

Uchiha Byakuya did not refuse.

About ten minutes later, he arrived at the Mado residence with Mado Goe and Mado Miyabi.

The Mado family owns a detached house, and the CCG investigators are able to live a relatively high-quality life.

"excuse me."

Uchiha Byakuya said politely, changed into slippers, and went inside.

Just then, a pretty little girl with light blonde hair came out.

"Dad! Mom!"

This is Akira Mado, the daughter of Mado Kureo and Mado Miyabi.

She inherited her mother's hair color and her father's eyes, but her facial features are more like her mother, Mado Miki.

When Akira Mado saw the completely unfamiliar Byakuya Uchiha, he immediately showed a wary look, his eyes as sharp as those of Kureo Mado.

Mado Kureo was somewhat better during this period; in the original story, Mado Kureo's eyes were truly terrifying.

....................

P.S.: I'm planning to slightly modify Arima Kishou's "personal" timeline. If we follow the original story exactly, Arima Kishou would be 19 years old at this point and would have already killed Mihana Reika. However, I feel Mihana Reika's regrets are too great, and I want to make up for them. So, I'll slightly modify it so that Arima Kishou, who is now 19 years old (or about to turn 18, is also fine), is about to infiltrate "Seikiyo High School," the school Mihana Reika attends, to investigate ghouls. It's just a small modification, but I thought I'd share it to see everyone's opinions.

(To put it bluntly, I wanted to bring Arima Kishou and Minami Reika together. Minami Reika is the only ghoul Arima Kishou didn't kill with his own hands because he was soft-hearted. Yoshimura Eto and Kaneki Ken are just acting and don't count.)

Chapter 21 Partner Arima Kishou

"Xiao, this older brother is Dad and Mom's colleague."

Mado Wei immediately introduced Uchiha Byakuya to Mado Akira.

Upon hearing this, Akira Mado immediately nodded obediently, which dispelled her wariness towards Byakuya Uchiha, and her sharp gaze returned to normal.

“Uchiha, this is my daughter, Mado Akira. She may be a little shy, please don’t mind.”

Mado Kureo said to Uchiha Byakuya with a slight apology.

Because he had been teaching Akira Mado for a long time that she should be wary and vigilant towards any stranger.

She even taught Akira Mado escape techniques for dealing with ghouls, as well as knowledge about RC cells and quinques, early on.

Unexpectedly, today I've caught the Uchiha's superior guard.

"fine."

Uchiha Byakuya smiled faintly.

If he remembers correctly, Akira Mado is only eleven years old in this timeline, yet she is already so intelligent and has such a strong personality.

Next, Uchiha Byakuya stayed at the Mado residence for afternoon tea and a sumptuous dinner, which was cooked by Mado Miki and her daughter Mado Akira.

During this time, Uchiha Byakuya talked to Mado Kureo about things related to Quinques and ghouls. It has to be said that Mado Kureo's understanding of Quinques is indeed very profound.

However, being overly obsessed with Quinque is not necessarily a good thing...

"By the way, Uchiha Ushimoto, what are your thoughts on ghouls?"

At that moment, Mado Kureo suddenly brought up this topic.

"If you ask me how I see it... the conflict between humans and ghouls is indeed irreconcilable at present. At its root, the irreplaceable nature of ghoul food is not the whole reason. After all, there are still ghouls who specifically seek out human corpses without actively killing people."

Uchiha Byakuya analyzed, "Another important reason is that ghouls are generally stronger than humans. Apart from investigators, or ordinary people without quinques, even when facing the weakest ghoul, they are almost powerless. This difference in strength makes it easier to induce many ghouls who are not kind-hearted to do bad things."

Imagine if a creature's strength surpassed that of humans, just as humans' strength surpassed that of chickens and ducks.

Kind humans wouldn't intentionally harm chickens and ducks, except for nutritional needs, but there will always be some inherently malicious individuals...

The same applies to ghouls. Apart from CCG investigators who possess quinques, ordinary humans cannot fight against ghouls, which inevitably leads to ghouls rampaging and killing humans.

However, due to various factors such as hatred and psychological problems, there are also investigators who abuse kind-hearted ghouls.

This has led to a situation where the hatred between the two sides can never be ended.

As humans, we would naturally consider things from a human perspective. Since ghouls are the mortal enemies of humans, they deserve to die. There's nothing wrong with thinking this way.

But what if you're caught between humans and ghouls? ...

For example, there's Eto Yoshimura, a half-ghoul; Kishou Arima, a half-human; and Ken Kaneki, who was transformed into a one-eyed ghoul through a kagune transplant...

They not only live with humans, but also with ghouls, discovering that everyone is the same and can become family.

Their identities allow them to see things from both human and ghoul perspectives, which is why they both want to change the world.

As for Uchiha Byakuya, not only is he now a half-human, but he is also a transmigrator with a "God's-eye view." Of course, he shares similar ideas with Kaneki Ken, Yoshimura Eto, and Arima Kishou: to fundamentally change the world.

"Uchiha-sama sees things very clearly, which is why we investigators have to work so hard to drive out ghouls and protect humanity."

Mado Kureo agreed with Uchiha Byakuya's opinion.

"However, the root cause is still the food issue. If ghouls have no need to eat humans, then the conflict between the two sides can be greatly resolved."

Uchiha Byakuya said, "As for the issue of the power gap, that's a problem that we investigators should solve—protecting ordinary people from the malicious harm of ghouls."

"The food problem... This problem seems basically impossible to solve. Not all ghouls are willing to eat only stale human corpses, because stale and small amounts of corpses are not enough for them to maintain their strength. Moreover, if we allow them to eat corpses, it would be disrespectful to the dead."

Mado Kureo shook his head slightly.

Although Mado Kureo at this time did not hate ghouls as much as she did in the original story, after all, Mado Kureo was saved by Uchiha Byakuya.

However, he still believed that the relationship between humans and ghouls was irreconcilable and that the deaths of ghouls were not a pity.

"At present, ghouls have not yet discovered a food that can replace human flesh, but I believe they will one day."

Uchiha Byakuya said confidently.

By the end of the original story, a food that could replace human flesh had finally been developed, and humans and ghouls achieved a certain degree of peace.

"It seems that the Uchiha elites are still quite optimistic. If that day ever comes, I'm really looking forward to it."

Mado Wuxu sighed.

Having narrowly escaped the loss of his wife, he began to hope for peace between humans and ghouls...
