Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

Arima Kishou looked up at Miha Reika, who seemed to have just finished dressing up, through the second-floor window. "No, I just arrived recently."

"Oh, that's good."

Sanbo Lihua deliberately looked back at the clock to confirm that it was exactly 7 o'clock.

I immediately thought that Arima had arrived too early. Are all CCG investigators this disciplined?

Actually, Sanbo Reika gets up quite early, but she likes to dress herself up like human girls, so it takes her quite a bit of time.

To avoid keeping Arima waiting too long, Miha Reika immediately slung her backpack over her shoulder and went downstairs, grabbing a piece of bread from the dining table before she left.

Seeing Miho Reika leave with a piece of bread in her mouth, Arima Kishou couldn't help but ask, "Aren't ghouls unable to eat human food?"

"Yeah, but I just wanted to imitate the girls in those comics. Wouldn't it be cool to walk to school with a boy while carrying a piece of bread in my mouth?"

Sanbo Lihua said with a smile.

Chapter 36 Have you already started dating?

"Is that so...?"

Arima Kishou didn't quite understand; he hadn't read those so-called comics, he only liked reading books.

"Yes, I'm very happy to be able to go to school with Arima-kun."

Sanbo Lihua's words didn't seem like she was putting on an act; they came from the bottom of her heart.

She had resigned herself to her fate and was mentally prepared to be locked up in a ghoul containment facility after her exams next week.

So she wanted to indulge herself a little during these last few days.

She longed for the youthful life of human girls in school, like in a comic book.

Even if Arima-kun is probably the kind of person who really hates ghouls, she still feels satisfied.

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

Of course, Sanbo Lihua didn't eat the bread until she arrived at the school gate.

After all, Arima already knows she's a ghoul, so there's no point in her "pretending to eat" in front of him; forcing herself to eat would only make her suffer.

Just as Miho Reika was about to throw the bread into the nearby trash can, Arima Kishou immediately spoke up: "Are you trying to waste food?"

"There's no other way, I just can't eat anymore. Even if I force myself to eat, I still have to induce vomiting to bring it all out."

Sanbo Reika said apologetically.

"If you can't eat it, then give it to me."

Arima Kishou said expressionlessly.

"Oh."

Sanbo Reika didn't react at first, and then a blush immediately spread across her pretty face.

Although she didn't eat the bread, she had been holding it in her mouth the whole way.

In other words, if Ma were to eat it, wouldn't she also have to eat "that" of hers...?

"Um, Arima-kun... don't you mind?"

Sanbo Reika asked somewhat shyly.

"What's bothering you? You didn't eat any, did you?"

Arima Kishou asked in return, his face expressionless.

"That's what they say, but I've been holding it in my mouth for so long..."

Sanbo Reika looked embarrassed.

"I see. But it's not a big deal, is it? It's not like we're having direct physical or mucous membrane contact. To put it bluntly, it's just a tiny amount of saliva. It's probably less than the amount of droplets we produce when we talk face to face."

Arima Kishou remained expressionless and spoke in a serious tone.

"Well, okay..."

Sanbo Reika was speechless for a moment after being spoken to by Arima Kishou.

Looking at Arima's expressionless face, he really doesn't mind at all...

Moreover, she doesn't seem to be shy at all; the word "spit," which she is too embarrassed to say, is something Arima can say casually.

Arima Kishou then finished off the bread.

He also reminded Sanbo Lihua, "Wasting food is unacceptable. Don't do it again next time."

The "behavior" that Arima Kishou refers to is the behavior of Miho Reika deliberately bringing bread to school and then wasting it.

"I see."

Sanbo Lihua nodded obediently, admitting her mistake.

She suddenly realized that what had just happened was exactly the kind of youth she had longed for.

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

Since the incident with the pumpkin-headed ghoul that night, Fura Taishi and Sasada Aki have both been on the verge of death and are now willing to come to school every day.

Akiya Sasada has already severed ties with the delinquent biker gangs.

The crew-cut man and the rooster-headed thug were also quite frightened by the pumpkin-headed ghoul and developed a psychological trauma. Forget about racing, they didn't even dare to touch a motorcycle for a while.

Alone, Ah Liang found it boring to race by himself, and he was also afraid that the pumpkin-headed ghoul would reappear, so he reluctantly gave up "racing".

"Taishi, let's continue playing baseball, together with A-Ryo."

Now that he's no longer a delinquent biker gang member, Sasada Aki wants to do something else.

"baseball......"

Fura Taishi immediately looked hesitant.

"Didn't Taishi used to love baseball the most? Speaking of which, why did Taishi suddenly stop playing baseball?"

Sasada Qiu asked doubtfully.

A long time ago, Taishi loved playing baseball and was very good at it. She and A-liang would play with Taishi.

But one day, Taishi suddenly gave up baseball, and she and A-liang lost interest in continuing to play baseball. After that, they gradually degenerated into delinquents.

To this day, neither she nor A-liang understand why Tai-chi suddenly gave up baseball.

"I don't know how to tell you about that kind of thing..."

Fura Taishi seemed reluctant to tell the truth.

"If Taishi doesn't want to talk about it, then don't. But the condition I proposed yesterday was that Taishi should return to the baseball field."

Sasada Qiu smiled.

"I......"

Fura Taishi's face showed a struggle.

Just then, the subject teacher entered the classroom, and the bell was about to ring for class.

"Students, please be quiet and get ready to begin class."

Sasada Akiya had no choice but to turn back to look at the blackboard.

Fura Taishi was still troubled by what had just happened.

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

After school in the afternoon.

Uchiha Byakuya went directly to Arima Kishou's table and said to him, "Arima, aren't you supposed to be taking Sanba-kun home later? I'll head back now."

"...OK."

Arima Kishou nodded slightly.

"Goodbye, Uchiha-kun."

Sanbo Lihua made a "bye-bye" gesture.

"Goodbye."

After saying that, Uchiha Byakuya left first.

However, Fura Taishi immediately chased after him from the classroom and caught up with him. "Uchiha! What just happened? Has Arima's relationship with Sanba progressed to that level?"

Clearly, he had just overheard what Uchiha Byakuya said to Arima Kishou.

Immediately afterward, Sasada Akiya caught up, shouting, "You idiot Taishi, wait for me!"

"I don't know how far their relationship has progressed, but I do know that they seem to walk to and from school together now."

Uchiha Byakuya said calmly.

"This...this is practically like a couple already!"

Fura Taishi immediately broke down.

He hadn't expected that Arima's relationship with Sanba would develop so quickly, giving him absolutely no chance...
