Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

Since different types of kagune have both advantages and disadvantages, it is undoubtedly a good strategy to fight against the disadvantages.

But all Sanbo Reika saw was the chain on the other person's body. Could this be the other person's kagune?

Although the chain didn't look much like a kagune, there was nothing else on the other person that resembled a kagune. However, she had seen all sorts of strange kagune before, so perhaps the other person's kagune was quite special.

"But what kind of kagune is this...?"

Sanbo Lihua was immediately filled with doubt.

Since the chain came out from the other person's sleeve, she couldn't tell where the other person's kagune was located, as the location of the kagune is the easiest way to distinguish the type of kagune.

Furthermore, since it's a chain, it completely lacks the distinctive features that different types of kagune should have...

"..."

Uchiha Byakuya didn't waste any words and immediately took action.

His eyes immediately focused on the root of Miha Reika's tail kagune, launching an attack using Kamui techniques, which, to be precise, involved using the principle of spatial transfer to tear space apart.

Offensive Kamui was originally the ability of the left eye Kamui, but Uchiha Byakuya, who possessed both Kamui, could naturally use it as well, and it was even faster than the single-eye Kamui!

It was so fast that Sanbo Lihua couldn't even react!

Just as she sensed a strange spatial distortion, her kagune was torn apart by a vortex that twisted space.

"what?!"

When the excruciating pain came, Miho Reika suddenly realized that her kagune had broken.

She was observing the other person's kagune just a moment ago, and didn't see them make any move at all. How did they manage to do that?!

Before Miho Reika's kagune could regenerate, Uchiha Byakuya rushed towards Miho Reika at three times the speed of a normal person, while the chain shot out from his sleeve was also aimed at Miho Reika's neck.

With her neck chained, Sanbo Lihua immediately felt suffocated.

However, ghouls are not as easily subdued as humans. Ghouls with kagune are also quite skilled in physical combat, and she immediately countered with physical techniques.

She launched a fierce kick with her right leg, but her opponent easily dodged it with a leap. Moreover, the opponent also performed a side somersault above her, and the chain around her neck tightened considerably.

Reika Sanba couldn't help but show a pained expression. As an A+ rank ghoul, her physical strength was still limited. At most, she could only endure longer than an ordinary human, but that didn't mean she could ignore the suffocating pain.

Before long, she will also faint or even suffocate to death.

Fortunately, at this moment, Sanbo Reika's kagune had regenerated, and she immediately manipulated the kagune to stab the mysterious masked man.

At such a close distance, success is definitely possible!

However, the next moment, Miha Reika was in utter despair. She didn't feel any impact at all; the kagune seemed to have passed right through her body.

This is precisely Uchiha Byakuya's "hollowing out" power. The principle is that his physical body was transferred into the Kamui dimension, so Miha Reika's kagune could not touch him at all. In the real world, he is essentially a consciousness. Apart from being untouchable and untouchable, he looks no different from a normal body on the surface.

Sanbo Reika's feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger, and her consciousness began to gradually blur.

"Am I going to die here...?"

She no longer felt she had any hope of surviving.

But she was unwilling to accept it. She had only been in Ward 13 for less than a year, attending school like a normal human girl, and such precious time had been disrupted, perhaps never to return, since she was going to die...

Tears welled up in Sanbo Reika's eyes.

[Ding! Host has defeated an "A+ Rank Ghoul" and has received a reward of 8 attribute points!]

Uchiha Byakuya neither loosened the chains nor tightened them further, because he was waiting for someone...

His original intention was not to kill Miho Reika, but rather...

finally come.

Just then, he saw that familiar white figure.

It is Arima Kishou!

Arima Kishou had already taken out the quinque "Yukimura" from his cello and was attacking Uchiha Byakuya with "Yukimura" tightly in his right hand.

"Clang! Clang—"

At first, he even pretended to block Arima Kishou's "Yukimura" a few times with the chain.

As if it were something given by the system, the chain was exceptionally strong, able to withstand the attack of a B-level Quinque without any obvious damage.

Having done what needed to be done, Uchiha Byakuya loosened the chain binding Sanba Reika's neck.

"Cough! Cough cough!!—"

Finally saved, Sanbo Lihua coughed violently.

She looked at Arima Kishou, who was standing in front of her, never expecting that she would be saved by a ghoul investigator under such circumstances.

Chapter 33 Knight

Sitting on the ground, panting, Sanbo Reika no longer concealed her kagune and kagune eyes.

Since Arima Kishou has definitely already seen it, there's no need to hide it anymore.

"Arima-kun..."

Sanbo Lihua murmured unconsciously.

Looking up at Arima Kishou in front of her, she vaguely felt that he was like a "knight" who would appear to protect her at the critical moment.

It just so happens that the pronunciation of "贵将" (kishiyou) is very similar to the pronunciation of "骑士" (kishi).

The reason why the side story is titled "Jack"

Arima Kishou stared intently at the mysterious masked man before him, offering no response to Miha Reika.

Furthermore, he didn't want to give ghouls an unnecessary response.

Uchiha Byakuya continued his pretense and launched an attack on Arima Kishou.

However, he no longer needed the "Double Divine Might" eye technique and could easily exchange a few blows with Arima Kishou.

After exchanging a few evenly matched blows, Uchiha Byakuya took the initiative to retreat.

"..."

Watching the other party disappear into the distance, Arima Kishou did not give chase, because his primary objective was to protect Miha Reika, and under normal circumstances, investigators could not catch up with ghouls.

However, he only protected Mibumi Reika because she was the mission target, and the mission was not to directly expel (kill) her, but to lock her up in the ghoul containment facility, so he had to prevent other ghouls from killing her.

But if Sanbo Lihua had successfully killed those delinquents last night, then the nature of the crime would be different, and the CCG might have to change its stance and expel the "lanterns."

Unless the target still has a significant purpose, such as higher-level ghouls like S, SS, or even SSS, they are usually spared for their own use, to obtain information on other ghouls, or even to be used to develop new types of quinques.

The battle was over, and Miha Reika had recovered by then. However, instead of attacking Arima Kishou, she asked, "Arima-kun, you're a ghoul investigator, right? Why did you save me...?"

"No, the mission is not to expel you, but to lock you up in a ghoul containment facility."

Arima Kishou said it very directly.

"That's true... After all, I'm a ghoul. No matter how much I want to be like a normal human girl, I'm still a ghoul."

A bitter smile appeared on Miho Reika's face. "But Arima-kun really did save me, so thank you anyway."

Arima Kishou was silent for a moment, then said, "...You're welcome."

"Is Arima-kun going to take me to the ghoul containment facility next?"

Sanbo Lihua has given up resisting.

Because she already knew Arima's strength—that he could fight the ghoul without being at a disadvantage, while she was completely outmatched—it meant that she was definitely no match for Arima.

"Is such that."

Arima Kishou nodded slightly.

"Could you give me some time before that?"

Miho Reika pleaded, "I've been preparing for the exam for so long, and it's next week."

"No."

Arima Kishou coldly and ruthlessly refused.

"Well, that's a real shame..."

Sanbo Reika smiled regretfully.

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

Meanwhile, Uchiha Byakuya had arrived at an empty alley, where he had left his schoolbag.

He removed the tiger-skin mask from his face, and his hairstyle returned to its original state.

He then took out his school uniform from his backpack and put it on, while stuffing the matching clothes and chains for the tiger skin mask into his backpack.

He decided not to waste his RC cells by putting the clothes and chains back into the Kamui space, since he didn't have many RC cells left in his body.

In this operation, he only transferred himself into the Kamui dimension and then back out when he was changing clothes at the beginning, and he also used "Hollowfication" once when fighting Miha Reika. That alone consumed most of his RC cells.

Aside from a slight eye pain and a bit of weakness, I'm fine and expect to recover on my own by tomorrow or the day after.

"I just exchanged a few blows with Arima, and as expected, Arima Kishou's physical abilities are clearly superior to mine. But then again, this is Arima at his physical peak..."
