The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"......"

This is even more excessive than being given the nice guy card after confessing your love.

For a moment she suddenly felt that it would be better for her to die in the battle with the Ghoul Investigator.

Chapter 33 Coincidence or human error?

"I'm so sorry, I saw you were a little nervous, so I just wanted to make a joke."

That joke is too bad!

Kirishima Touka, who saw the bad nature of the man in front of her, looked at Lin Qiao with resentment, but the other party did not show any concern at all.

It's like "You can be angry as long as I'm happy."

Hey, don't think that others can't see that you are just pretending to be nice, right? Don't you even try to pretend?

"There's no sincerity at all. Rather, is there really anyone who would apologize in such a rude tone?"

Even though the conversation lasted less than a few minutes, Kirishima Touka had already confirmed that she had no good feelings towards the person in front of her whose name she could not even remember.

Also, if you feel sorry, just get out of here!

"Since you still have the energy to complain, it seems that there shouldn't be any big problems."

He made a statement that was nothing short of a quack, saying it was great that he just woke up with a back cramp and didn't have any other serious problems.

After all, it's not him who is in pain, so it's not a big problem.

"Then the visiting hours should be over. Rather than wasting time in vain, you probably have a lot of questions you want to ask."

Lin Qiao directly pointed out the theme.

"...Who is wasting time......"

Forget it, Kirishima Touka is too lazy to say anything about this.

Just as Lin Qiao said, compared to other messy things, she had just woken up from a coma and did have a lot of questions that needed answers.

"Well, how long have I slept?"

"Fifteen years..."

"Hey!"

"Okay, okay, probably about an hour or less than two hours, which is just the right length for a nap."

“Two, two hours…?”

Kirishima Touka, who was hiding in the quilt, cried out in surprise, then subconsciously touched her smooth back, as if she didn't expect that such a short time had passed.

It is a good thing indeed, but it is also somewhat unexpected.

I tried my best to calm down, but I could still hear the anxiety and trembling in my voice: "What about Hinami and... Miss Ryoko? Are they safe now?"

Hinami was fine, she didn't get hurt at all, but Ryoko-san was probably...

She naturally attributed everything to herself. Perhaps because she was worried about hearing bad news, Kirishima Touka tightly grasped the quilt in her hands.

"Look here, don't look so dejected. People who don't know would think the banquet is about to start."

Looking at the blue-haired girl who was inexplicably depressed, Lin Qiao clapped her hands, interrupting her wild thoughts.

"Don't worry, they are fine. Although Miss Ryoko is still in a coma, she is no longer in danger. She will be fine after lying down and resting for a while."

"As for Hinami, frankly speaking I'm not very good at dealing with children, so I'll let her rest next door."

Lin Qiao said calmly that compared to Kirishima Touka's injury, which was not serious but was located closer to the spine and other important parts, Fueguchi Ryoko's case was much easier to deal with.

Just take out the foreign objects inside, handle them briefly and disinfect them with alcohol.

The most troublesome thing is just excessive blood loss, but this is not an unsolvable problem for him.

Perhaps the only thing that didn't go smoothly during the process was that after returning to the cafe, they almost got into a fight with Fuma Yuaner and Irimi Xuan, who thought their homes had been robbed, and Fueguchi Ryoko was almost affected.

"I see, I'm glad you're alright..."

After confirming that both of them were safe, Kirishima Touka's heart finally settled down, and she relaxed and leaned back on the pillow behind her.

Even though she didn't like the red guy in front of her, she had to admit that this time, thanks to him, the worst situation did not happen.

but--

"Although I don't really want to hit you, in my opinion, it's still too early to relax at this time."

Lin Qiao waited patiently for a while, and only spoke slowly after seeing that she had no intention of asking further questions.

".....What's the meaning?"

"It means literally. Don't you think this is all too coincidental?"

Lin Qiao deliberately emphasized the word "coincidence" and tapped the back of the chair rhythmically with her fingertips.

"Just then, Amazon attacked the coffee shop, and the mother and daughter of Fukou who escaped happened to run into the investigators who were targeting them. Even though from a probability perspective, the chances of this happening are not zero, there are some things in this world that cannot be simply summed up as bad luck."

Of course, it is a bit far-fetched to say so, but it does not prevent Lin Qiao from taking advantage of the information gap between each other and guiding in this regard.

Even if it was really a coincidence, he could put the blame on another time traveler, and he wouldn't lose out anyway.

"So you mean to say that someone is behind this?"

"Who knows, but it's not impossible."

“…”

Can't refute.

For example, when someone is out, a bug crawls on his back.

It would be fine if no one reminded me, but once I understood this fact under the guidance of others, I would feel uncomfortable in various ways, even if the insects had long gone away, I would still feel uneasy all over.

Just like now, I didn’t feel anything about it before, but after Lin Qiao said this, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

When she thought of this, she became extremely annoyed, because if she really followed this idea, then the existence of the stable zone would have been exposed to certain people long ago.

hateful!

Why should we be treated like this? Is it because we are ghouls?

What's wrong with being a ghoul? Do you think we want to be like that? All we want is to survive! Isn't it possible to even ask for something like that?

She clenched her teeth. She couldn't accept this, nor did she want to accept it.

"....Is there any evidence?"

"No."

"Then what are you talking about!?"

"What else? Do you think reality is a detective drama? Then do you want me to imitate a certain elementary school student who is a death god and stab you in the back?"

He gave Kirishima Touka a blank look. If there was evidence, he wanted it too!

It would be best if the home address of the mastermind was included. Otherwise, do you think it's fun to scare yourself and fight wits with the air every day?

The most optimistic outcome is that this incident is really just a coincidence. The evidence is that he used himself as bait before, but he was not attacked until he transformed. It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.

——But it is more likely that the other party is collecting his combat data.

However, the key point is that there is no way to verify it now...so Lin Qiao plans to do it the same as before and make preparations for both situations.

"But standing at the door and eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a good habit, Manager."

"cough...."

A light cough was immediately heard outside the door, followed by a few knocks on the door. An old man with a kind face was standing outside the door.

"Manager!?"

"I'm sorry, I just came back not long ago, and I saw you young people were chatting enthusiastically, so I didn't want to interrupt you for the time being."

He said this with a faint smile on his old face, but even though he tried his best to act like an ordinary and kind old man, it was impossible for Lin Qiao to really let down her guard against this former SSS-level ghoul.

Indeed, according to the current character of this Unkillable Owl, as long as you don't take the initiative to become his enemy or disrupt the existing balance in Area 20, he is just an ordinary coffee shop owner.

But before that there is one thing we need to understand!

Even if the result is the same, it is essentially different whether the sword is held in your own hands or in the hands of someone else.

This is also the reason why he has not yet canceled his transformation.

Unless forced into a desperate situation, Lin Qiao would never rely on others for his own safety.

"I have already heard what happened from Gu Jian."

"Anyway, on behalf of everyone in Anding District, I want to thank you for helping Fueguchi's family, and thank you for saving Touka."

"It's just my personal opinion, but if you want to talk about something, a girl's room might not be the best place, and Touka would also feel embarrassed."

Fangcun Gongshan moved his body to the side and made a "please" gesture to Lin Qiao.

"——If you don't mind, please follow me to the reception room for a chat."

Chapter 34 Amazon is a human being

In the reception room on the third floor of Anding District, there are Renji Shiho, who collects "food" for Anding District but rarely appears in front of guests, and Touka Kirishima, who has just recovered from a serious illness.

Almost all members of the coffee shop gathered in this small room.

Uh....

"Why hasn't that Kaneki guy come yet...? Forget it, I'll go find him."

After looking around and finding that the only person missing among the people who came was a half-baked figure, Kirishima Touka whispered, and after thinking about it, she was about to turn around and call for help, but was stopped by Lin Qiao.

"No need to look for him, because I helped you and Ms. Ryoko heal their injuries before, and he is probably lying in bed resting due to excessive blood loss."

"Blood loss? What does that mean... wait, so that taste in my mouth before, could it be..." Kirishima Touka quickly realized something, widened her eyes, and subconsciously smacked her lips.

Looking at Kirishima Touka's dazed expression, Lin Qiao spread her hands helplessly.

As a result of undergoing the ghoul transformation surgery performed by Akihiro Kano, Kaneki Ken has many more RC cells in his body than the average human.

But its meat does not taste like rotten fish or shrimp like other ghouls, which can minimize the psychological resistance of the eater... or taste resistance.

In general, Kaneki Ken is delicious and nutritious.

Of course, all of the above only applies to ghouls.

By the way, because the situation was urgent, there was not much time for him to explain, so the unfortunate child was simply dragged to have his blood let out.

Moreover, since his own recovery ability exceeds that of ordinary ghouls, the process did not go so...smoothly.

Basically, the wound stopped bleeding before even a few drops of blood were left, forcing Lin Qiao to give the unfortunate child another stab.

——Then he was caught red-handed by Gu Jian Yuan'er and Ru Jian Xuan who had returned, and it took a lot of effort to explain it clearly.

Black dog, demon ape, crow... and "Owl".

If the CCG investigators knew that there were so many tough guys hiding in the usually stable District 20, they would surely be very surprised.

But the other way around.

It is precisely because of the existence of these tough guys that no other ghouls dare to cause trouble in Area 20.

Kamishiro Rize was the only one who dared to break the rules, and was punished by her childhood sweetheart.

Somewhat different from usual, everyone's eyes did not fall on Yoshimura Kozen, the initiator of the meeting, but were tacitly focused on the red figure half lying on the sofa.

Curious or vigilant...

Lin Qiao, who was facing everyone's gaze, sat on the sofa casually.

With his back leaning against the soft cushion and one leg resting on top of the other, on the coffee table in front of him was a plate of strawberry mousse cake and a cup of steaming coffee.

Just looking at the hot brown liquid inside, he felt somewhat puzzled.

"Is it not to your taste?" As if noticing Lin Qiao's hesitation, Fangcun Gongshan, who was sitting on the main seat, asked.
