Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

Uchiha Byakuya didn't engage in any small talk and went straight to the point.

According to intelligence, the "Clown Mask" ghoul group has at least two SS-rank ghouls, making it a very dangerous operation.

Uchiha Byakuya knew very well that the two SS-rank ghouls were Uta and Yomo Renji, both of whom were genuine SS-rank.

As he wrote more and more suicide notes, Uchiha Byakuya realized that he was always writing to Yoshimura Eto, but there was no one else to write to besides Yoshimura Eto.

I can't just write it to Arima Kishou, he still has Sanba Reika...

So this time, Uchiha Byakuya didn't think much of it and wrote another copy for Yoshimura Etsu as usual. As for the contents of the will, he just wrote about the recent progress of the publishing process.

Squad Zero and Squad Inaba departed from Ward 1 and headed to Ward 4 to investigate the ghoul group "Clown Mask".

The investigation was thus launched.

The reason it's called an investigation is because the CCG didn't ask them to immediately go to war with "Joker Masks," given that "Joker Masks" has a large and powerful force.

Their main task in this operation was to investigate District 4 and find out some information about the "Clown Mask" group.

Afterwards, the CCG will continue to send more and more ghoul investigators into Ward 4 to assist the Zero Division and the Inaba Squad in defeating "Clown Mask".

"There are a lot of ghouls in District 4, so we need to be more vigilant."

At this moment, Uchiha Byakuya reminded the five members of the "Inaba Team".

"Yes."

The five members of Inaba nodded solemnly.

They will temporarily be stationed at the CCG branch in District 4 to facilitate routine investigative operations.

Since the battle has not yet officially begun, the Zero Division and the Inaba Squad are currently operating separately.

It was also convenient for Uchiha Byakuya to only travel with Arima Kishou.

While investigating the "clown mask," Uchiha Byakuya also wanted to see if he would encounter any important figures.

However, there was no success on the first day.

Neither Uchiha Byakuya nor Arima Kishou wore the "White Dove" badge, so they were not attacked by ghouls, since an investigation operation certainly cannot be too conspicuous.

Nighttime.

After dinner, Uchiha Byakuya stayed temporarily in an apartment building arranged by the CCG branch.

He had just returned to his residence and hadn't even had time to get used to the new environment when he suddenly received a call from Yoshimura Aite.

It's estimated that Fangcun Aite had already arrived at his home in District 2, only to find that he wasn't home.

"You damn lolicon, where have you been? Why aren't you home yet?"

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

P.S.: There will be another update later. Also, there was some controversy about the earlier "Mother of Chaos" and "Mother of Chaos". It was actually a problem between different translation groups. One version of the original manga used "chaotic", but "chaotic" is indeed more normal, so it was changed.

Chapter 63 Are We a Couple? (Bonus Chapter)

Uchiha Byakuya could clearly hear the complaint in Yoshimura Eto's tone.

It seems they've been waiting at his doorstep in Zone 2 for quite some time now.

"Cough cough..."

Uchiha Byakuya coughed lightly, "I forgot to tell you, I was temporarily assigned a mission, and I'm currently in the 4th district."

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I made a wasted trip and waited for quite a while."

The resentment in Yoshimura Aite's tone intensified.

"I'm sorry...it was my oversight..."

Uchiha Byakuya could only say something slightly awkward.

"Where exactly are you? I'll come find you right now."

Yoshimura Aite wasn't the type to throw tantrums; after complaining a couple of times, she didn't pursue the matter further.

Uchiha Byakuya then gave Yoshimura Eto his detailed address, estimating that he would be operating in the 4th district for the foreseeable future.

"I'll wait for you at the subway station later."

"Okay, don't make me wait any longer."

Afterwards, Uchiha Byakuya immediately went to the subway station in Ward 4 to wait for Yoshimura Eto.

Yoshimura Eto arrived quite quickly, not keeping Uchiha Byakuya waiting for long.

Fangcun Aite was seen walking out of the subway station carrying a light green shoulder bag.

"So... what brings Mr. Lolicon to District 4?"

"Let's talk about it later, this isn't a suitable place yet..."

Subway stations have a huge flow of people, so it's definitely not a good place to talk about this kind of thing.

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

On streets with less pedestrian traffic

Uchiha Byakuya then spoke to Yoshimura Eto in a voice of appropriate volume: "You should know about an organization called 'The Clown,' right?"

"I know, the first generation of 'Jokers' leaders are still imprisoned in 'Cookria'."

Of course, Yoshimura Eto knew this, because she had previously attacked the ghoul containment facility in Ward 23 in order to take in those stronger ghouls, such as the "Clown," the first leader, "Mother of Chaos" Hoshiroma.

However, the city hadn't been completely captured yet; in other words, they hadn't reached the floor where Hoshiroma was located. (P.S.: Sorry, the previous text was incorrect; Hoshiroma hadn't appeared yet at this point.)

“The Joker organization is now one of V’s biggest thorns in its side.”

Uchiha Byakuya explained the general situation: "Then, there's a ghoul group in the 4th district called 'Clown Mask' that's also connected to the 'Clown' organization, and they're becoming increasingly active and rampant. We're investigating them now."

"The clown mask, huh? I do know some information about those guys. Do you need my help?"

Fangcun Eite said.

"The clown mask is not important. I'm just following orders on the surface. What I really want to find is not them."

Uchiha Byakuya shook his head slightly.

The "Clown Mask" ghoul group is only useful to him in terms of its leader; defeating him will grant him attribute points.

Although Yomo Renji is very close to Uta, he is not a member of "Clown Mask" and is a lone wolf.

"So who are you looking for? Is it another girl?"

Yoshimura Ete asked almost instinctively.

"Not entirely. I'm looking for several people, and to be precise, they're all ghouls."

Uchiha Byakuya truthfully replied, "The Kirishima clan, and the Yomo clan."

"I really don't know that."

Even if Yoshimura Aite is something else, he can't be omniscient or omnipotent.

"The Corpse Collector" Kirishima Arata and "Narukami" Kirishima Kou, who are Touka Kirishima's parents, are not yet very strong ghouls in this timeline. They may not even have been named by the CCG with codenames yet.

Later, it was because Kirishima Kou engaged in a large number of "predators" and "communist eatings" in order to have enough strength to protect the children that he was targeted by the CCG or possibly the "V" organization, and was thus expelled by Arima Kishou.

In the original story, Arima Kishou's S+ rank quinque "Narukami" was made from Kirishima Kou's kagune and kagune bag, and it has to be said that this quinque's attack was extremely strong.

"This matter isn't urgent for now. Let's go buy a laptop first, otherwise we won't be able to refine the manuscript in District 4 for the time being."

Uchiha Byakuya set off for the shopping mall.

"It's good to be rich; you can buy whatever you want..."

At this moment, Yoshimura Aite glanced down at her clothes, which she had worn for a long time and were old and worn out.

Although her sense of belonging leans more towards ghouls, she is still a girl after all, and it's normal for her to want to become beautiful.

Even pureblood ghoul girls can love beauty just like human girls. For example, Nutcracker wanted to be beautiful when she was a child, but she couldn't because she was too poor. Later, her mind became twisted to the point of madness.

Yoshimura Eto was also unable to become beautiful because she didn't have money. Even if she did, she would prioritize funding for the "Aogiri Tree" organization.

Until recently, she managed to buy a relatively inexpensive bag.

With Byakuya Uchiha's keen insight, he could naturally notice Yoshimura Eto's gaze and could roughly discern Yoshimura Eto's inner thoughts.

He then said tactfully, "After we buy the laptop, let's go shopping at a clothing store. It seems like you've been wearing this outfit for a long time."

"..."

Yoshimura Ete was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised that the other party would suddenly bring up this topic.

It felt like... he could see right through her thoughts?

However, the ability to "read minds" only exists in novels and comics; how could such a thing exist in reality?

Therefore, Yoshimura Eto believed that it was just that Uchiha Byakuya happened to have the same idea as her.
