At this touching moment of farewell, Nan Tianren suddenly used his hands to tear a crack on Fukou Ryoko's kagune.

"Hina! Run!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fueguchi Ryoko immediately wrapped her daughter's body with her kagune and threw her out of the alley.

"Oops!"

Mado Wuxu decisively left Nan Tianren behind and turned to chase the fleeing Fueguchi Hinami. He believed that with Nan Tianren's strength, Fueguchi Ryoko would definitely not have any chance of escape.

"You! Don't even think about getting past!"

Seeing this, Fueguchi Ryoko immediately extended her kagune and attacked Mado Gosho.

"Your opponent is me! Miss Fueguchi Ryoko!"

Nan Tianren swung out the [Sword of Kallian] from his wrist, wrapped around Fueguchi Ryoko's kagune, and pulled the other person's body towards him.

——Chain Blade·Cut the body axis vertically!

Nan Tianren swung another chain blade upwards, slicing vertically through Fueguchi Ryoko's body and sending her flying into the air.

Meanwhile, at the Antique Coffee Shop.

"Manager, I'm leaving get off work first!"

Kaneki Ken changed his clothes and said goodbye to the store manager.

"Don't forget to make a mask tomorrow!"

Before Kaneki Ken left, the store manager did not forget to give him some instructions.

"Let's meet in front of the Nanten Building, the iconic building in Shinjuku and the headquarters of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals. I remember."

After Kaneki Ken finished speaking, he opened the door of the coffee shop and started on his way home.

Shortly after Kaneki Ken left the antique coffee shop, Fueguchi Hinami, who was running towards the Anping District, threw herself into Kaneki Ken's arms:

"Kaneki Ken-nii! Mom... Mom... was found by the Ghoul Investigator!"

"Hide now!"

Kaneki Ken saw the ghoul investigator Mado Kure from afar, who was chasing Fueguchi Hinami, and immediately hugged Fueguchi Hinami and hid in a narrow alley nearby.

"Damn it! It got away!"

After searching everywhere, Mado Wuxu couldn't find any trace of Fueguchi Hinami, so he had to return to the place where Nan Tianren and Fueguchi Ryoko fought.

——Chain blade·cutting the skull bone ridge!

Nan Tianren swung the chain blade horizontally again, hitting Fueguchi Ryoko on the temple and knocking her out directly.

"You're not going to kill it?"

Mado Wuxu asked Nan Tianren who had put away the Quinque.

"No, I want to do some research on ghouls."

Nan Tianren shook his head, took out a body bag, tied up Fuekou Ryoko's hands and feet, and put her into the body bag.

When Kaneki Ken and Fueguchi Hinami called for support and brought everyone from the Antique Coffee Shop here, they found nothing except a pool of blood left by Fueguchi Ryoko when she was repeatedly cut by Nan Tianren with the chain blade. It seemed that everything had returned to calm.

That afternoon, on the second floor of the Antique Coffee Shop.

The manager of the Antique Coffee Shop, Yoshimura Kozen, and two waiters of the Antique Coffee Shop, Furuma Enji and Irimi Xuan, as well as Kaneki Ken and Kirishima Touka, and Kirishima Touka's uncle, Shiho Renji, were gathered together for a meeting.

"Ms. Fueguchi Ryoko... was captured by the Ghoul Investigator."

The manager of the Antique Coffee Shop, Yoshimura Kousen, spoke first.

"Where's Hinami? How's Hinami?"

Kirishima Touka gritted her teeth, punched the wall, and hurriedly asked the store manager.

"Hina is fine, I'll let her rest next door."

"Where's your face? Has the ghoul investigator seen it?"

"They were seen clearly, and they couldn't do anything about it at the time. So I decided to hide Hinami in the Antique Cafe for the time being, and when the time is right, I will send her to District 24."

The store manager suggested.

"District 24? Are you kidding me?! District 24 has been completely destroyed in the previous [Heavy Rain] incident. The kagune maze that was originally used for ghouls to hide no longer exists. It is no longer suitable for ghouls to live there! If we send Hinami there, it will only be a matter of time before she is discovered by the ghoul investigators!"

Kirishima Touka shouted angrily:

"Why don't we just go and kill the ghoul investigators! Before they find out the information about Hinami, kill them all without leaving a single one alive! We also have Mr. Shifang here, so as long as everyone cooperates..."

"no!"

The store manager flatly refused:

"If a ghoul investigator dies in District 20, CCG will definitely send more personnel from the headquarters to intensify the search in District 20 until we are all wiped out! You have to understand, Touka, we can't sacrifice the lives of all the ghouls in District 20 for just one person, Fueguchi Hinami. Sending Fueguchi Hinami to District 24 is the best solution!"

"What's the best way to deal with this? Hinami's parents were killed by the Ghoul Investigator. It would be too pitiful if we can't take revenge!"

"What's truly pitiful is not that one cannot take revenge, but that one is so obsessed with revenge that he cannot live his own life!"

"Are you telling me this? You're not my father, don't pretend to be a father and teach me a lesson!"

Kirishima Touka slammed the table, stood up, and slammed the door in indignation.

"If it was Kirishima Touka instead of me who was at the scene at that time, she would have been able to rescue Miss Fueguchi Ryoko."

Kaneki Ken looked at Kirishima Touka's departing back and spoke slowly.

"This is not anyone's fault. It's a blessing in disguise that Fueguchi Hinami was rescued. You don't need to blame yourself, Kaneki Ken."

The store manager patted Kaneki Ken's shoulder to comfort him.

Meanwhile, at CCG's headquarters.

"Thank you very much for your assistance. Today, we were able to capture the ghoul, Fueguchi Ryoko, so easily. This is absolutely inseparable from your efforts in collecting intelligence from street to street over the past few days. The headquarters will issue a special reward to you two. You should take a rest for the next few days."

Senior Investigator Mado Wuxi said to Third Investigator Kusaba and his partner, Senior Investigator Nakajima.

"In that case, let's celebrate Mr. Zu Nan Tian Ren joining the CCG, Mr. Zu Nan Tian Ren's promotion to second-class investigator, and our successful capture of the ghoul Fueguchi Ryoko. Tonight, I will treat you all to dinner!"

Senior Investigator Nakajima suddenly suggested.

"Since someone is willing to treat me to a meal, there is absolutely no reason for me to refuse."

Nan Tianren immediately nodded in agreement.

"Then it's settled. We'll meet at Ootoya in District 20 at 6pm today."

Nakajima then made an agreement with the other three people.

"Six o'clock?"

After being busy for many days, Caochang looked down at his watch. It was only three o'clock and there were still three hours until six o'clock - this was the free time that suddenly came to him, belonging only to him.

So, Caochang thought about it and decided to take this opportunity to go to the bathhouse, take a good bath and relax.

"Come to think of it, it's been nearly ten years since I joined CCG and became a ghoul investigator? Even though ten years have passed, I'm still only a third-class investigator."

Caochang lay in the big bathhouse pond and thought:

"I wish I were as powerful as Nantenjin. On the first day he joined CCG, he defeated an SS-rank ghoul and also captured a B-rank ghoul. He was promoted to second-class investigator on the same day. It is said that he is only fifteen years old, although he does not look like that. I wish I were as powerful as him. In this way, I can avenge my wife."

Kusaba's wife was killed by a ghoul, and that was why he chose to join CCG at the age of thirty and become a ghoul investigator.

Because he was already too old when he joined CCG, and he had no talent in combat, no matter how hard Kusaba tried, he was ultimately just a third-class investigator who ran errands in CCG and helped other ghoul investigators collect intelligence.

Although it is just the most ordinary errand task, Caochang has been doing it for ten years. During the past ten years, Caochang has been working diligently and taking every job seriously. Although his ability is limited, he is hardworking and willing to work hard. No matter what kind of dirty or tiring work it is, he is willing to work hard and is a well-known good man in CCG.

"Come to think of it, because of work reasons, I haven't been out to play with my son for a long time. Tomorrow is Saturday and I happen to have a day off. I might as well take my son to the amusement park to play for a day."

After taking a bath, Kusaba went to sweep his wife's grave before heading to Ootoya to meet up with the others.

"Well, Mado Wuxu said he couldn't come because he had something else to do, so the three of us can eat first."

Nan Tianren, who arrived late, explained to Kusanagi and Nakajima who had been waiting in the hotel for a long time.

"It's his pity that he didn't come, we'll eat ours!"

Nakajima immediately called out to the hotel waiter:

"Waiter, I want the fried shrimp set and chicken rice balls."

"Mr. Nakajima, you're eating the same thing again."

The waiter in this restaurant was obviously an old acquaintance of Nakajima.

"I love to eat, it's none of your business."

Nakajima crossed his arms across his chest, pretending to be dissatisfied.

"Then I'll have a large bowl of soy sauce ramen with extra char siu."

Nan Tianren also placed his order immediately.

"Uh...I want a sashimi platter."

After looking through the menu, Caochang immediately placed his order.

"That's terrible! Kusanagi-san, your way of releasing stress is really terrible, isn't it?"

Nan Tianren suddenly looked towards the grassland with disdain.

"Don't order the most expensive dish on the menu just because someone else is treating you!"

Nakajima still pretended to be dissatisfied and looked at the grassland.

"Caochang, where is your hometown?"

Nan Tianren suddenly asked the other party inexplicably.

"Uh...Miyazaki in Kyushu?"

Caochang replied cautiously.

"Let me think about it. You've been running around in District 20 recently, which has consumed a lot of your energy. What your body craves most right now is big meat with lots of oil and salt! In other words, what you want to eat most right now is actually Miyazaki's specialty - Nanban fried chicken!"

Almost at the same time when Nan Tianren said the words "Nanban Fried Chicken", Caochang's stomach growled uncontrollably.

"That's true. After hearing what you said, I suddenly want to eat Nanban fried chicken! Waiter, no more sashimi platter, give me one, no! Two! Give me two portions of Nanban fried chicken!"

Cao Chang also changed the dishes he ordered accordingly.
