The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"Be careful! Yizi!"

Seeing the scattered kagune crystals flying towards her good friend Kosaka Yoriko in the crowd, Touka transformed into Blood Riot and immediately used her body as a shield.

There were clanging sounds, and not even a scratch appeared on the thick armor, and the broken kagune crystals fell to the ground.

Some crystals that flew farther were blocked by Hinami's armor that looked like moth wings.

——There will always be despicable people who take advantage of others’ misfortunes wherever they go in this world.

Even in this time when everyone is united and working together to face the crisis, there are bound to be rats active in the dark.

It is true that Bronze Tree controls most of the existing ghouls in Tokyo with his fists and substitute food, but in this situation, there are still a small number of ghouls who do not obey their orders.

For example, there is a wealthy group of ghouls like the Tsukiyama family.

Or they just serve as dogs for the former... After all, the ghoul community itself is very divided.

As the city fell into chaos and the CCG suffered a series of blows, these gutter rats emerged like mushrooms after rain.

There is only one purpose - to catch people!

It's not just for the sake of filling the stomach... If that were the case, the bronze tree's improved alternative food would be enough to satisfy the needs of any ghoul.

They just want to satisfy their own perverted desires or those of wealthy ghouls.

Capturing those humans that you like and then enjoying them yourself or selling them to other wealthy ghouls to make a fortune is a good option.

Especially now that CCG is tied up, it would be a shame not to make more money now.

As for this troublemaker who was holding them back while they and others were making crazy efforts in the front, Lin Qiao and Aite had surprisingly consistent opinions.

kill!

Kill every one you see, no discussion!

This is also one of the reasons why Att handed over all matters to Lin Qiao during this period, although the latter handed them all over to Duo Duoliang.

After all, a large number of these troublemakers mentioned above are old customers of Bronze Tree... She is very familiar with the matter of selling to the client.

——But this is indeed an accident.

Although a part of the manpower was assigned to search for the core of the dragon, due to the limited number of machines, there were still quite a few people left in the Bronze Tree.

With the idea of ​​making the best use of resources and deepening the friendly impression between humans and ghouls, Lin Qiao simply sent this group of people out.

Let them assist the police and investigators and help survivors in other areas evacuate...and then a big fish was caught.

Big Madam

The notorious SS-rank ghoul, who not only possesses an extremely evil nature, but also possesses astonishing financial resources. He is also the culprit who deprived Juzo Suzuya of his fertility.

She had wanted to take advantage of the chaos to recruit some good talents to be dismemberment technicians, but this time she ran into trouble.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it! Damn bronze tree! How dare you do this to me!"

They are obviously just a bunch of peasants who are paid to do the job!

She completely tore off her noble lady disguise, screamed wildly, and used a speed that was completely contrary to her fat body, fleeing quickly under the siege of others.

Just as she was moving forward, a scarlet figure happened to appear.

"Get out of the way, stinky crab!"

He raised his hand to stop the other people who were chasing him, and with Kirishima Ayato's "Oh my god!" look in his eyes, he swung the thick and powerful tail towards Lin Qiao... but the latter easily caught it.

Two huge spider legs spread out from behind, piercing into her body from both sides of her collarbone in the blink of an eye, and then sank into the ground beneath her feet with unabated force.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

A shrill scream was heard, and as dark red destructive energy flashed, Big Madam turned into a huge pool of blood mist, ending her sinful life.

This guy is really scary...

After taking a glance at the bloodstains on the ground, Kirishima Ayato smacked his lips, and without any further ado, he took his men to reinforce other places.

The battle is gradually coming to an end...

Although the Leopard Suit Ghouls were bodyguards hired by Big Madam and were not weak, they were quickly defeated by the Bronze Trees who had bigger fists and more people.

Except for a few who were lucky enough to escape, all the other ghouls that attacked the shelter were killed by the Bronze Tree.

To be on the safe side, they followed Lin Qiao's instructions and assigned some people to finish off the corpses on the ground one by one.

Another group of people, together with the investigators present, went to calm the frightened crowd.

Although no one was injured, the bloody scene was too shocking for a group of ordinary people.

Perhaps because they realized that they had saved someone's life, they were no longer as disgusted with the bronze tree as they were at the beginning... However, it is also possible that they were simply scared.

"Um.....Excuse me, is this Touka?"

Chapter 160: Back to square one

Just as the investigators and police were maintaining order, a timid-sounding voice sounded beside Touka, who had not yet completed her transformation.

The blue-haired girl, who was about to breathe a sigh of relief, froze.

She could naturally tell that it was the voice of her good friend Yoriko Kosaka.

Just like Yi Bingru before, what really troubled her was how she should face this...human friend.

Or rather, rather than how to face the other person, what worries her more is how Yiko will view her?

fraud?

Or did he feel that he had only treated her as a reserve of food in the past?

Just yesterday, I laughed at Kaneki Ken who had recognized Nagachika Hidera and despised his timid behavior, but today she met him... Is this retribution?

"No, that... Actually, you got the wrong person. I'm Ishimori..."

He tried to use the voice-changing ability of the smoke system to escape, but then another voice of "himself" came from behind him:

"That's right! I am the Yin-Yang Eyes that can see ghosts, the traitorous assassin of the Empire, the wise goddess of water - Kirishima-dono..."

"Ahhh! Shut up you bastard!"

Dong Xiang couldn't bear it any longer after hearing her own voice speaking in a strange tone and saying something extremely chuunibyou. She interrupted forcefully.

But after Lin Qiao's commotion, it was difficult for her to pretend not to know him.

Facing Kosaka Yoriko's gaze, she gritted her teeth and canceled her transformation. She greeted her with some embarrassment on her face: "Um...long time no see, Yoriko..."

......

Make some space between Touka and Kosaka Yoriko. In short, it’s better not to interfere in girls’ secret topics for the time being.

On the other hand, Big Madam's sudden attack on the survivors further intensified CCG's idea of ​​transferring the survivors.

Buses full of people drove to the designated location...Having said that, given the limited capacity, it is obviously not possible to transport so many people quickly.

Even though there were a lot of casualties due to the G.Amazon incident, the remaining people are still not a small number.

Not to mention that there are more people in the entire city who need to be evacuated than just this one shelter... Putting it all together, the speed is naturally imaginable.

An open space in front of the park was crowded with people who had not yet recovered from the shock. The cold wind around them could not extinguish the joy in their hearts. After all, in their opinion, their safety was guaranteed.

Because the surrounding roads are relatively wide, it was set as the boarding location.

In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again, the ghouls and investigators of the Bronze Tree are always on guard around it.

A little further into the park, on a bench under a tree, Lin Qiao was enjoying his leisure time... As the deputy leader, he should have some privileges to slack off, right?

Hinami looked well-behaved and sat next to him.

"It's rare to have such a relaxing time. It's been a long time since I've been alone with Hinami like this."

Obviously it hadn't been too long, but because of all the miscellaneous things that happened during this period, he felt like it had been a long time since he last saw it.

"But Hinami is really too much. She didn't take the initiative to look for me for such a long time. I'm really sad, brother... Is it because she hates you?"

"No, no! I've never hated my brother!"

"Hmm~ Then why?"

"That's because I..."

She waved her hands in a panic while speaking, but her voice gradually weakened as she spoke. She took a deep breath and held her breath.

"If possible, I would also like to stay with my brother...but my brother has more important things..."

"But it's still possible to spare some time to talk with Hinami."

"...No, my brother, Ms. Ate, and everyone else are working hard...I can't cause trouble to my brother because of my own affairs..."

The expression on her face was a little gloomy, and her mood became low. She clutched the red robe that served as the hem of her skirt with both hands, which made Lin Qiao sigh:

"Before I knew it, the little girl who ran away from home has now become an independent adult."

Time flies by so fast...

Thinking of the scene where the other party used the kagune to protect others, for some reason, Lin Qiao suddenly had this grandfather-like thought in his mind.

"But if possible, I hope you can be more willful."

She is not as reckless as Yi Bingru, nor as explosive as Dong Xiang, nor as crooked as Ait.

Hinami should be considered a good kid in the eyes of her parents...

So mature that it's a bit heartbreaking - this might be referring to children like Hinami.

As the girl exclaimed, he put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him.

"elder brother!?"

Lin Qiao's sudden action made her a little flustered...but she did not resist.

His body stiffened slightly, and he shyly lowered his head into his chest, then hugged Lin Qiao from behind with both hands.

"However, although Hinami is cute, some people are completely the opposite..."

Just at this moment, Lin Qiao raised his hand to block the fist falling from behind.

"You have such a strong desire for revenge. Where did you come from?"

Dong Xiang curled her lips after her sneak attack failed. Tsk, she was actually blocked... Does this guy have eyes behind his back?

"I thought you were going to chat with Yizi for a while longer. Is it over so soon?"

"Do you think I'm an old woman who likes to chat about family matters?"

He rolled his eyes at Lin Qiao, withdrew his hand, and naturally sat down next to Lin Qiao.

Although it was a long-awaited reunion, there was no separation or death scene between her and Yoriko Kosaka like in TV dramas.

But what made her feel more at ease was that Kosaka Yoriko did not have any resistance to her identity as a ghoul...but she still received complaints and teasing from her best friend.

However, although I really want to chat with him for a while, it would be better to send him and his family to a safe place first.

"Come to think of it, this is where I first met you." He recalled, crossing his legs.

"That's about right. I was still lying here sleeping at that time, but... "

"elder brother!"

She wanted to continue speaking but was interrupted by the girl next to her. Lin Qiao shrugged.

There is no water in the fountain anymore. Because it snowed a few days ago, a lot of snow has accumulated and has begun to harden and become brittle.

I looked up at the sky, but my view was blocked by the branches and leaves above my head... It was all winter around me, and I felt like everything had changed.

The hands of time seem to be constantly moving forward, but isn’t it also returning to the starting point?

The three of them fell into silence inexplicably. After looking at Lin Qiao who was holding Hinami, Dong Xiang shifted her gaze to the year, and then moved slightly to that side... There was no other intention, it was just that the weather was too cold and this guy was warmer!

Absolutely not!

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do next, Touka?"

"Huh? Why are you suddenly talking about this?" Dong Xiang was startled by Lin Qiao's sudden voice and said in surprise.
