Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

At this moment, Uchiha Byakuya asked.

"Yes, it's still the best place for us in District 24. It's the best choice to let the 'Bronze Tree' grow and thrive there."

Yoshimura Ete stated the truth.

After all, she now believed that Uchiha Byakuya was the first One-Eyed King of the "Aogiri Tree," and it would be unreasonable not to trust even the "King," so she did not hide the truth.

"I see......"

Uchiha Byakuya already had some ideas.

In the original work, Arima Kishou, as the "cleaner", led the Zero Division to play "whack-a-mole" with Aogiri Tree in the 24th Ward for a long time.

They seem very busy, but actually they haven't done anything.

Mustard Seed couldn't doubt him, because the maze in District 24 was indeed too complicated.

Using District 24 as the base for "Bronze Tree" is indeed the best choice from a long-term perspective.

Even Uchiha Byakuya could use this in the future. On the surface, he was leading the Zero Division to attack Aogiri Tree, but in reality, he was playing a "whack-a-mole" game with Aogiri Tree, or even going to do other things directly.

Because the "V" organization could not penetrate into District 24 to monitor him.

Next, Yoshimura Eto continued to refine the manuscript with Uchiha Byakuya, as usual.

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

Late at night.

Now that Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto have both revealed their true colors, he no longer intends to send Yoshimura Eto back as he did before.

Or rather, why would an SSS-class "One-Eyed Owl" need him to deliver it?

But just as Yoshimura Eto was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and said to Uchiha Byakuya with a delighted expression, "Mr. Lolicon, why aren't you taking me home this time?"

"You're giving me more and more nicknames..."

Uchiha Byakuya couldn't help but retort.

Lolicon, Lolicon Editor, Bastard Lolicon, Bastard Liar Lolicon...

Now there's another one, "Mr. Lolicon." He's lost count of how many nicknames he has, and they're all related to "lolicon."

"Are these nicknames wrong? They are all nicknames with reasonable explanations."

Yoshimura Eto seemed to enjoy teasing the lolicon investigator.

Although he kept calling himself a "lolicon," he never used a tone of disgust or disdain; in fact, he seemed quite pleased with it.

"Indeed, I find it hard to refute."

Uchiha Byakuya said with a straight face, without blushing at all, "But I still have to correct you, it's just that the person I like happens to be..."

Unfortunately, I ended up traveling back in time to ten years before the original story, which was indeed beyond my control.

Even if he were to travel back to the original story's time, his favorite person would undoubtedly still be Yoshimura Eto.

So he wasn't joking when he said that.

However, if they really did travel back to the original story's time, then Yoshimura Eto wouldn't be as easy to get along with as she is now...

"Well......"

Upon hearing this, Yoshimura Aite was momentarily stunned, and a faint blush appeared on her cute little face.

Because the other person's meaning was quite clear: the so-called "person they like"...

Who else could it be but her?

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

P.S.: There will be another update tonight, which is still an extra update. It will probably be a little late, around 11 PM to midnight.

Then I'd like to talk about the issues I've reflected on, namely, the "Double Kamui" characters have too little screen time. I've already realized this myself. I was too focused on logic before (as described earlier, Blood Eyes can be mistaken for a ghoul). In the end, focusing too much on logic turned out to be a bad thing. To some extent, sometimes it's really better to write mindless, enjoyable stories. Going forward, I will appropriately increase the screen time of the "Double Kamui" characters.

I'm very satisfied with the overall progress so far, and I'm highly motivated to update. I'm almost getting over 10,000 updates a day! If you haven't been asking for updates these past couple of days, please help me out by clicking a few to help me reach that milestone!

Chapter 57 The Lolicon One-Eyed King (Bonus Chapter)

However... it could also be that ghoul girl named Miho Reika.

Yoshimura Aite felt that this possibility could not be completely ruled out.

She sensed that Uchiha Byakuya was quite interested in that ghoul girl.

Thinking of this, Yoshimura Eto became even more concerned; she would have to visit that ghoul girl sooner or later.

"You bastard, you're such a lecherous jerk, what you're saying is pretty bold..."

At this moment, Yoshimura Ai teased.

"you flatter me."

"...I'm not praising you."

Yoshimura Aite said, somewhat speechless.

"Speaking of which, did you already know my true identity all along?"

Fangcun Eite suddenly asked.

Although she wasn't entirely sure, she strongly suspected that this bastard lolicon already knew she was "One-Eyed Owl".

Thinking back to this guy's reaction, it's a bit strange. He didn't show any surprise when he saw that she was "One-Eyed Owl".

She initially thought that this guy didn't care about her at all...

But it still feels a little strange.

"Yes."

Uchiha Byakuya admitted, "When I learned that Takatsuki-sensei's surname was Yoshimura, I began to suspect it. By the time I saw 'One-Eyed Owl' in the 24th Ward, I was pretty sure it was you. Even though your face was covered, you could still tell from your figure."

Although he admitted it, his explanation was reasonable and wouldn't reveal his identity as a time traveler.

"And then you kept pretending to play this 'playing house' game with me, right?"

Yoshimura Aite spoke in a low, languid tone.

"After all, I like it."

Uchiha Byakuya stated directly.

Yoshimura Eto looked slightly taken aback, then added, "I like Takatsuki-sensei's works, so it's not a so-called 'playing house' game."

"..."

Fangcun Aite immediately looked annoyed.

That bastard with a lolicon didn't finish his sentence in one breath; she was almost misled.

"Well then, let's go. I should head back now. But I'd also like to ask Mr. Lolicon to make a trip to District 24. We, the 'Bronze Tree,' need to welcome our new king, the Lolicon One-Eyed King~"

Fangcun Ai Te's tone was playful and authentic.

It was clearly a deliberate attempt to mock Uchiha Byakuya.

"Don't actually use that nickname on me later..."

Uchiha Byakuya was immediately somewhat helpless.

The title "King of One-Eyed" originally sounded quite cool, but adding the prefix "lolicon" instantly turned it into something perverted.

"Good lolicon king, good one-eyed lolicon~"

Yoshimura Eto still wanted to tease Uchiha Byakuya and enjoyed it.

However, after realizing that Yoshimura Eto was just trying to trick him, Uchiha Byakuya stopped caring. If he cared, he would lose.

Feeling that she had teased him enough, Yoshimura Eto returned to seriousness.

The two then headed to District 24.

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

Area 24, underground maze.

"Aogiri Tree" is preparing to gradually encroach on the 24th Ward, defeat its rival organizations, and take in ghouls willing to join "Aogiri Tree" in order to expand its scale.

However, Yoshimura Eto has not yet given the order, because she does not have enough funds at the moment; this is just a backup plan.

The entire "Aogiri Tree" group, consisting of dozens of ghouls, is currently based in a relatively secluded location deep within the 24th ward.

Although Yoshimura Eto is temporarily absent, the other two executives, Tatara and Noroi, are second only to Yoshimura Eto in strength, so "Aogiri Tree" is still quite safe in the 24th ward.

Especially Tatara, although his danger level is only SS, he is actually a rare Kakuja, rather than an incomplete half-Kakuja.

Most half-Kakuna can be rated as SS-class, so it is not unreasonable for a fully-formed Kakuna to be rated as at least SSS-class.

Perhaps because Tatara doesn't kill many people in Japan, the CCG didn't set his danger level too high, since it's ultimately based on danger level rather than strength.

As for Tatara being instantly killed by the half-Kakuja "Pineapple King" later in the original work, it can only be said that he was killed by the plot. It can also be loosely explained that Tatara had already fought the CCG to a standstill and then "Pineapple King" Takizawa Seidou picked him off.

Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto took a taxi to the 23rd ward, and then entered the underground labyrinth of the 24th ward from the entrance of the 23rd ward.

Although Yoshimura Eto, after transforming into a Hellman, could move at high speeds and even fly with Uchiha Byakuya, given her current situation, she could no longer easily expose herself to the CCG and the "V" organization.
