Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

She then went into the kitchen wearing strawberry-patterned fur shoes.

Uchiha Byakuya only asked Yoshimura Eto to try a relatively simple dish first.

It's not surprising at all that Yoshimura Eto's swordsmanship is quite good...

Uchiha Byakuya did not interfere at all, allowing Yoshimura Eto to do as he pleased.

Soon, Aite Fangcun prepared a dish himself.

It looks alright to the naked eye; at least it's not one of those "culinary disasters".

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

Dinner is ready.

Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto sat at the dining table.

"I'm gonna start now."

"I'm starting~"

Fangcun Aite first tasted the dish he had made himself, but after chewing it, he found that the taste was not ideal.

"It doesn't taste good. It's nowhere near as good as what you make."

Although it was the first time she had cooked it herself, the fact that it didn't taste good left Yoshimura Aite slightly disappointed.

Uchiha Byakuya also took a bite and commented directly, "It's really not good. There's not enough salt and it's not evenly distributed. The dish is also a bit burnt, but it's not bad for a novice who's cooking for the first time."

His assessment was quite fair; at most, it was just not tasty, not so bad that it was inedible.

"There's no need to comfort me; it will only make me feel like you're just pitying me."

Yoshimura Ete doesn't fall for the "gentle" approach.

"You're mistaken. As long as it's made by Ms. Takatsuki, I won't complain even if it tastes terrible, so there's no need for special comfort."

Uchiha Byakuya said with a serious expression.

Yoshimura Eto was slightly taken aback. "...You're already a hopelessly addicted lolicon."

"Wrong, I've never been a lolicon."

Uchiha Byakuya has always been unwilling to acknowledge this title.

"But you have absolutely no persuasive power, Mr. Lolicon, don't even think about making excuses~"

"I'm teasing you," Yoshimura Aite said.

Despite her playful banter, Byakuya Uchiha's words had indeed had a significant effect on Eto Yoshimura, making her feel a sweet warmth in her heart.

"..."

Uchiha Byakuya was speechless.

He had already explained it, but Yoshimura Eto simply wouldn't believe him, and there was nothing he could do about it.

In the end, Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto finished their dinner together, even though it wasn't very good.

"How's the situation in District 24?"

During the rest period after the meal, Uchiha Byakuya asked Yoshimura Eto a question.

"It's going quite smoothly. The competitors in District 24 are not very strong. 'Bronze Tree' has already expanded to more than two hundred members."

Yoshimura Ete said, "Once we have completely occupied District 24, we can start spreading to other areas."

"Well, there's no need to rush into expanding our territory. I have a plan for the future..."

Uchiha Byakuya was about to discuss the "Cokria" matter with Yoshimura Eto. "I plan to attack 'Cokria' as the 'One-Eyed King'."

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by 'them'?"

Yoshimura Aite had some concerns.

"It's alright. Neither the Xiu family nor the V organization know that I am a mutated half-human. If I disguise myself a little like last time, they won't recognize me."

Uchiha Byakuya said calmly.

"That's good. When the time comes, we can work together and completely conquer 'Kukria'."

Previously, Yoshimura Eto was outnumbered and outgunned. The members of "Aogiri Tree" were not many at the time, and "Cookria" was heavily guarded. She was unable to break through "Cookria" and only released some S-class ghouls.

The most important of all are undoubtedly the "rooms" that hold SS-rank and SSS-rank ghouls.

Since "Cooklia" was initially only used to imprison ghouls of ranks S to SS, and there was no room specifically for imprisoning ghouls of rank SSS, ghouls like Hoshiroma, who were of rank SSS, were also imprisoned on the SS floor.

"No, I have other tasks for you."

Uchiha Byakuya said, "I hope you can lead a group of 'Aogiri Tree' members to appear in the 13th district to attract the attention of the CCG, as well as Washuu and 'V'. Your Excellency and I will pretend to investigate the 24th district, while I lead another group of 'Aogiri Tree' members to attack the 23rd district, Cochlea."

“…That’s fine.”

Yoshimura Eto had faith in Uchiha Byakuya's strength, but she still reminded him, "But be careful, 'Coolia' has never weakened its defensive capabilities."

"Yes, I'll keep that in mind. Let's start taking action in a couple of days."

Uchiha Byakuya had already discussed the matter of "Cokria" with Yoshimura Eto.

His topic suddenly changed, "By the way, when you went to 'Anting District' this time, didn't you meet with Senior Fangcun?"

"No, I don't want to see him yet."

Yoshimura Eto looked slightly melancholy. "Even if I see him, I don't know what to say..."

"Ok."

Of course, Uchiha Byakuya wouldn't force Eto to meet with the shop manager. "When you want to go, we can go for a cup of coffee together. Yoshimura-senpai's coffee is quite good."

"Really......"

Yoshimura Etto immediately noticed a detail, "So you've already been there?"

"Yes, when Sanbo went to seek help before, Guijiang and I went with her and had coffee together."

Uchiha Byakuya answered truthfully.

"Sanba-kun? Oh, you mean that ghoul named Sanba Reika? Speaking of which, when can I get to know her? That would make it easier to gather material."

Yoshimura Eto felt more and more that this guy was very interested in the girl named Miho Reika, which made her even more concerned.

"Okay, by the way, she's been working in the 'Anding District' recently, let's go to her house to find her sometime."

Uchiha Byakuya casually agreed.

"Oh? You even know so much about where she lives?"

Yoshimura Aite narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yes."

Uchiha Byakuya nodded.

He didn't actually know, but he only needed to ask Arima Kishou to find out.

"Oh~"

Yoshimura Aite now felt she absolutely had to go.

The night passed, and nothing happened again.

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

District 1, White Day Court.

"Regarding the investigation of the 'Bronze Tree' and the 'One-Eyed Owl,' the General and I have made some progress."

Uchiha Byakuya and Arima Kishou are reporting the situation to Mustard Seed.

"tell me the story?"

Mustard Seed immediately asked.

“We have discovered that the ‘Bronze Tree’ led by ‘One-Eyed Owl’ is active in District 24, and I suspect that the leader of ‘Joker Mask’ has also been recruited into the Bronze Tree by One-Eyed Owl.”

Uchiha Byakuya convincingly persuaded Mustard Seed.

"Then you and your general should go investigate District 24 first, determine the exact location of those guys from the Bronze Tree, and it would be best if you could take down 'One-Eyed Owl'."

Mustard Seed said, "As for District 4, there's only a bunch of rabble left, they can't cause any trouble."

"Okay, we'll head to District 24 tomorrow."

Uchiha Byakuya nodded.

He and Arima Kishou each left a will in CCG District 1, and the operation can officially begin tomorrow.

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

The next day.

Uchiha Byakuya and Arima Kishou entered the 24th district together.

Upon reaching a certain location, Uchiha Byakuya spoke up: "Sir, it seems your S-rank Quinque isn't finished yet?"
