Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

She was particularly interested in the ghoul girl that Uchiha Byakuya had mentioned who longed to integrate into human society.

"That's not necessarily true..."

Uchiha Byakuya denied it.

"Oh? What do you say?"

Yoshimura Aite immediately became curious.

"Unless they are extremely vicious ghouls, I generally try not to kill them if possible, and at most I just put them in a ghoul containment facility."

Uchiha Byakuya said.

Some investigators are different; they kill any ghoul they see, regardless of whether they are good or evil.

From a purely human perspective, there's nothing wrong with doing this.

"A ghoul containment facility..."

Yoshimura Ai Te seemed to be deep in thought.

She had recently stormed the ghoul containment facility in Ward 23 and found that most ghouls were doing alright, but some were being tortured terribly.

So that's not exactly a good place.

Uchiha Byakuya then added, "However, for ghouls who genuinely want to integrate into human society, I will teach them to restrain their bloodthirsty nature and send them to the 20th Ward. I've heard that the ghoul 'manager' in the 20th Ward advocates peaceful coexistence with humans."

The ghoul ruler of a district can also be called the "manager," and the "manager" of the 20th district is Yoshimura Kozen, who is also Yoshimura Eto's father.

Yoshimura, the former "Cleaner" of the "V" organization, the strongest pureblood ghoul, and the SSS-rank "Non-Killing Owl," is undoubtedly the ghoul "manager" in any district.

Yoshimura Eto knew, of course, who the "manager" of District 20 was, so she fell silent.

"..."

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

P.S.: That concludes today's three updates.

Chapter 29 Eto Yoshimura's Background

The relationship between Yoshimura Kozen and Yoshimura Eto, father and daughter, is very complicated.

Yoshimura Kozen was a janitor for the "V" organization. Despite being a ghoul, he fell in love with a human woman named Yuna, and Yuna continued to love him even after discovering he was a ghoul...

After that, she gave birth to the almost miraculous half-ghoul Yoshimura Eto. The cruelest part was that Yuna had to eat human flesh during her pregnancy, otherwise the fetus with ghoul blood would die from malnutrition.

But her good fortune didn't last long, because Yuna's true identity was that of a reporter who specialized in investigating the "V" organization, and she actually discovered some secrets about the "V" organization. The "V" organization immediately launched a manhunt for Yuna.

Yoshimura Kozen was indeed very strong, but he was no match for the large and powerful "V" organization, especially since the leader, Mustard, was even stronger than him. He was capable of protecting himself but not of protecting Yuna and Yoshimura Eto at the same time, especially since Eto was just a newborn baby at that time.

When cornered, he chose to kill Yuna with his own hands to protect Yoshimura Eto. (Note: In the manga, Yoshimura Eto kills her, while in the anime, Yuna is killed by the V organization. This book is based on the manga.)

The "V" organization let him go because at that time they had not yet discovered that he and Yuna had a child, and that the child was even a half-ghoul. If the organization discovered this, they would definitely launch a more ruthless pursuit.

After killing Yuna with his own hands, Yoshimura sent Eto to the most chaotic 24th ward to prevent Eto from being discovered by the organization. He entrusted Eto to his old friend, the SS-rank ghoul Noroi, leaving Eto only a notebook of Yuna's, which recorded the secrets of the "V" organization that Yuna had discovered, as well as her life with Yoshimura.

At first, Eto Yoshimura was alright thanks to Noroi's care, but a few years later, Noroi was inexplicably killed by the "V" organization, leaving Eto, who was not even ten years old, to survive alone in the harsh environment of the 24th Ward...

Although Yoshimura Kozen did have great difficulties, when Yoshimura Eto needed her father's love and protection the most, her father ignored her and ran away from the "V" organization.

Moreover, her father killed her mother with his own hands, and even if her mother did so willingly, this is something that Yoshimura Eto finds hard to let go of.

A combination of factors led to Yoshimura Eto's hatred for her father. Most of this hatred stemmed from her father's choice to run away from the "V" organization, which is why she wanted to fight against the CCG and the "V" organization behind it.

However, during Byakuya Uchiha's time, Eto Yoshimura's hatred for his father wasn't that deep yet; he was just being stubborn and didn't want to go to the 20th district to find his father.

Many things happened afterward that caused Eto Yoshimura's hatred for her father in the original story to reach an irreparable level...

"Really? That's a strange ghoul. A ghoul that can manage an area must be very strong. It's surprising that it's thinking of coexisting peacefully with humans."

Yoshimura Eto only remained silent for a moment before regaining her composure, showing almost no unusual behavior.

But the perceptive Uchiha Byakuya still noticed the brief silence.

"Indeed, a ghoul 'manager' who advocates peaceful coexistence with humans is unprecedented."

Uchiha Byakuya said, "Although I don't know if he did anything bad behind the scenes, I think his idea is quite admirable."

His behavior is undoubtedly like repeatedly dancing in Fangcun Aite's "minefield".

But he also genuinely felt that Yoshimura Gozen's leadership of the ghouls in the entire region to refrain from killing and to coexist peacefully with humans was a great act of kindness.

This kindness does not conflict with Yoshimura Kozen's psychology of avoiding the "V" organization.

Knowing he was no match for the "V" organization, Yoshimura gave up resisting. Even if he gathered his forces, it would cause a lot of casualties. In his later years, Yoshimura could no longer bear to see anyone die in front of him.

As it turns out, Yoshimura Eto sacrificed everything, including himself and the entire "Aogiri Tree," as well as Arima Kishou, to finally welcome the "One-Eyed King" Kaneki Ken more than a decade later.

Therefore, it's difficult to say who is right and who is wrong between Yoshimura Kozen and Yoshimura Eto.

Yoshimura Kozen wanted to protect the people around him and the ghouls, which was not wrong, but he failed to handle his daughter's situation well.

Eto Yoshimura wanted to change the world, to change the world that believed ghouls were inherently evil, and there was nothing wrong with that, but her brutal actions caused a great deal of tragedy.

"How magnificent..."

Yoshimura Eto was silent for a moment again, "But Mr. Uchiha doesn't seem to hate ghouls that much?"

"I guess so. If possible, I still hope that humans and ghouls can get along peacefully."

Uchiha Byakuya nodded slightly.

"so......"

Yoshimura Eto had finished taking notes. "Thank you, Mr. Uchiha, for providing the material. I feel like I have a flood of inspiration for my next work."

"I'm starting to look forward to Takatsuki-sensei's new work."

Uchiha Byakuya said.

At that moment, Yoshimura Eto jumped off the bed, saying, "It's about time I went back too."

Uchiha Byakuya was still the same as always, escorting Yoshimura Eto for a while.

"I am truly honored to have a ghoul investigator escort me home."

Halfway there, Yoshimura Eto said, seemingly in a teasing tone.

The main point is that Uchiha Byakuya knew that Yoshimura Eto was the "One-Eyed Owl," so these words sounded like a joke rather than an exclamation.

Upon arriving at their usual spot, Uchiha Byakuya parted ways with Yoshimura Eto.

"See you tomorrow then, and tell me about that ghoul girl then too."

Before parting, Yoshimura Eto said goodbye to Uchiha Byakuya.

"Ah."

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

The next day.

[Ding! Host has completed the daily check-in and received a reward: 1 attribute point!]

Early in the morning, Uchiha Byakuya and Arima Kishou ate breakfast and then took the subway to school.

As they approached the school gate, they ran into Sanbo Lihua, who was also on her way to school.

"Good morning, Arima-kun and Uchiha-kun."

Reika Sanbo was clearly unaware that Byakuya Uchiha and Kishou Arima had already identified her as a ghoul "Lantern," and she was still able to greet them with a smile.

"morning."

Good morning, Sanbo.

However, neither Uchiha Byakuya nor Arima Kishou showed any unusual behavior.

Because Uchiha Byakuya did not want to expel Sanba Reika.

Arima Kishou, however, is not yet entirely certain that Sanba is "Lantern".

Taking action against someone without absolute certainty is a major taboo for investigators; if the other party turns out to be just an ordinary human, then there will be serious trouble.

Meanwhile, Miha Reika has become seriously suspicious that Uchiha Byakuya and Arima Kishou are both CCG investigators, so she will be even more cautious in her interactions with these two...

Chapter 30 Dull Wood

Next, Uchiha Byakuya went first, leaving Arima Kishou and Sanba Reika alone.

Arima Kishou instinctively wanted to chase after them, but considering that Sanba, who was likely the "lantern," was still beside him, he decided it was not advisable to do anything unusual.

Arima Kishou was thus forced to travel with Miha Reika.

"Yesterday morning, Arima and Uchiha seemed to have left with Fuura for a while. Nothing should have happened, right? After all, Fuura is supposedly a delinquent..."

At that moment, Miha Reika suddenly spoke to Arima Kishou.

"Hmm...nothing happened."

Arima Kishou remained expressionless and spoke in a flat tone.

This lukewarm response immediately made the atmosphere somewhat awkward, and the conversation became difficult to continue.
