Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

Yoshimura Aite then got down to business.

"Today, her ghoul identity has been completely exposed."

Uchiha Byakuya said.

"I see... So she's already game over?"

Yoshimura Ete's tone suddenly became somewhat regretful.

"No, I've already talked to my partner, and we'll make sure that girl gets through next week's exams smoothly, but I'd prefer her to go to District 20."

Uchiha Byakuya told the truth.

The key point is the system that Yoshimura established for all ghouls in the 20th Ward, which prohibits ghouls within the 20th Ward from actively hunting humans. They can only eat human corpses, such as those who committed suicide or had accidents, and there are also restrictions on the frequency of their feeding.

Under Yoshimura's management, Ward 20 has long been in a relatively peaceful state with a very low predation rate, to the point that the CCG doesn't pay much attention to Ward 20 anymore, and there are very few ghouls in Ward 20 being hunted by investigators.

If Miho Reika can accept the 20th Ward's system and refrain from actively harming humans, then the CCG will gradually stop paying attention to "Lanterns." Compared to "Lanterns," there are many more dangerous ghouls, and the CCG has long been in a state of insufficient manpower.

"It seems Mr. Uchiha really hopes that ghoul can integrate well into human society?"

Yoshimura Aite had already picked up her notebook and started taking notes.

"The premise is that she stops actively harming humans, otherwise it will be difficult for me to help her."

"Yes... By the way, is your partner the same as you?"

Yoshimura Ete asked with a hint of curiosity.

"More or less, but not exactly the same."

Uchiha Byakuya said.

The so-called "not quite the same" is that Arima Kiyoh is bound by the "V" organization, and is bound to become cold-blooded and ruthless, only able to blindly carry out the orders of the "V" organization and the CCG, almost obliterating his own emotions.

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

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

Chapter 35 Does Mr. Uchiha like that girl?

In the original work, Kishou Arima spent almost his entire life serving the "V" organization.

His only two selfish motives were: first, to cooperate with Yoshimura Eto and become the true first "One-Eyed King" behind the scenes of "Aogiri Tree"; and second, to cultivate Kaneki Ken, or rather Sasaki Haise, into the new "One-Eyed King" and fulfill his long-cherished wish.

Because Kishou Arima knew his lifespan was too short, even if he openly rebelled against the "V" organization, he could not change the world.

Moreover, although he was extremely powerful, he was ultimately outnumbered. The leader of the "V" organization, Mustard, was his former master, and his strength was at least not much weaker than his, if not stronger. In fact, the enemies he would face were not just the "V" organization.

Arima Kishou, who works for the "V" organization and the CCG, has suppressed his emotions. No matter how pitiful a ghoul is, even if he feels pity for it, he will not hesitate to kill it.

This is because it is an order from the "V" organization to kill threatening targets.

Even until his death, he obeyed the orders of the "V" organization to kill Rize Kamishiro's adoptive father, Kasei Kamishiro.

Of course, in the timeline that Uchiha Byakuya is currently in, Arima Kishou is not yet so severely bound by the "V" organization, because he has not yet become a "V" organization cleaner.

"Speaking of which, could it be that Mr. Uchiha has fallen for that ghoul girl? He's so considerate of her."

At this moment, Yoshimura Aite suddenly became gossipy.

"No."

Uchiha Byakuya, of course, denied it without hesitation.

He hoped that Arima Kishou and Mihana Reika could get together, so it was impossible for him to have any feelings for Mihana Reika.

"Oh? You rejected it so decisively."

Yoshimura Aite was slightly surprised.

She did have some suspicions that this bastard investigator had feelings for that ghoul girl, since it's unusual for an investigator to be so considerate of ghouls.

To my surprise, this guy didn't hesitate at all.

If a normal person really had those kinds of thoughts, they wouldn't be so calm and decisive.

"It is indeed strange that I, as a ghoul investigator, think about ghouls, but that is really who I am."

Uchiha Byakuya said calmly.

"I understand. Mr. Uchiha is an oddball, but I think it would be great if the protagonist of the next work was an oddball too."

Fangcun Aite quickly jotted down a person's profile.

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

District 13.

When Arima Kishou had just parted ways with Uchiha Byakuya, he put the Quinque "Yukimura" back into his cello and then sent Sanba Reika home.

Walking down the street, Arima Kishou and Mibu Reika walked home together like normal students after school.

No one could imagine that this was a ghoul investigator and a ghoul.

To outsiders, they looked more like a young couple.

"This is my home. Thank you, Arima-kun, for bringing me back."

Miho Reika expressed her gratitude to Arima Kishou in front of her house.

"..."

Arima Kishou nodded slightly, without saying anything.

Although Arima Kishou's attitude was cold, Miha Reika still had a smile on her face.

Just as Arima Kishou was about to turn and leave, Miha Reika spoke up again: "Will Arima-kun still be able to go to school with me tomorrow morning?"

Arima Kishou was silent for a moment, then said, "...Okay."

He did not refuse Miho Reika because he believed it was a reasonable request and would also protect her from the ghoul that attacked her that day.

"Ok!"

Sanbo Lihua's smile immediately brightened considerably.

Such a beautiful smile would surely make countless boys' hearts flutter, but Arima Kishou's face showed not even the slightest fluctuation.

Arima Kishou then left.

Back home, Miho Reika thought of the ghoul wearing the tiger-skin mask again.

She felt increasingly uneasy; who exactly was this person?

Not only is she incredibly strong, but she also knows that she is "Lantern". She is already quite cautious at school, and even the ghouls like Yagami and Omori who often talk to her do not know her true appearance.

This made Miho Rika feel a sense of lingering fear; the unknown enemy is always the most terrifying.

However, in the end, I was also locked up in a ghoul containment facility, so it doesn't really matter.

Afterwards, Sanbo Lihua cleared her mind of all distractions and focused on reviewing and preparing for the exam next week.

Her academic excellence wasn't something she could fake; she genuinely loved studying in school...

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

"Arima, did anything happen after you took Sanpachi home yesterday?"

When we took the subway to District 13 together early in the morning, Uchiha Byakuya asked.

"No, 'Lantern' seems to have given up on resisting."

Arima Kishou answered in a very serious manner.

"That's not what I was asking... Never mind, given your personality, it's impossible for you to do that so quickly."

Uchiha Byakuya's words were somewhat vague.

Arima Kishou, as expected, didn't understand. "Which one?"

He certainly didn't expect that his boss was actually asking him if there was any progress in his relationship with the ghoul "Lantern".

"nothing."

Uchiha Byakuya didn't intend to explain things to Arima Kishou either.

"However, when we get to the 13th ward subway station, I need to go to the 'lantern' area first."

Arima Takashi said.

He no longer refers to him as "Sanbo Tongxue" (a nickname), but instead calls him "Lantern" repeatedly.

"Well, come on."

Uchiha Byakuya's tone was slightly suggestive.

Arima Kishou did not understand the true meaning of the phrase "do your best," thinking it was just encouragement related to work.

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

Upon arriving at Ward 13, Arima Kishou went to wait in front of Miha Reika's house.

He just stood there waiting, neither calling out to Sanbo Lihua nor ringing the doorbell.

Reika Miho accidentally opened the window and realized that Takashi Arima had arrived. "Oh! Arima-kun, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I didn't keep you waiting too long, did I?"
