The demon monk in the second dimension

"So, what do you want by calling? You know, you've completely interrupted my train of thought."

She didn't mention the owner of the phone at all, but instead chatted with Xia Zhi in a familiar, friendly tone.

"Yes. I know it's tough being a writer, especially when your train of thought is interrupted, it can be incredibly frustrating. Like those dog-like writers typing away in front of their computers."

Summer Solstice savored the taste of the carbonated drink in her mouth, analyzing its ingredients and proportions.

So that even if you don't go to a world without Coca-Cola, you can still try to "invent" Coca-Cola.

"Aite-chan, are you here to bail someone out? Or do you think I can do whatever I want with them?"

Takatsuki Sen sighed and looked at Xia Zhi with a troubled, little girl-like expression.

"Even though he's a brainless idiot, I'm still his leader. I can't just ignore him, can I?"

Xia Zhi smiled, took another sip of cola, and then said.

"How about we meet at the antique café at noon tomorrow?"

"Antique coffee shop?"

Takatsuki Izumi was taken aback.

He even knows this?

Takatsuki Sen, whose real name is Yoshimura Eto, is a half-ghoul.

Her mother was a human, and her father was the manager of an antique coffee shop, the previous "Owl," Yoshimura Kozen.

Takatsuki Sen scratched her hair, her grass-green right eye suddenly turning blood red, and she felt a little irritated.

"Of course it's no problem."

Xia Zhi nodded and hung up the phone.

"Well then, Izumi-chan, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow."

……

After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhi saved the number to her phone and began going through Daishou Yakumo's chat history and web browsing history.

As expected, his web browsing history was full of searches for information about torture.

However, there was little information in the chat history, so it must have been deleted.

Back in the room, Xia Zhi held Wuming in her arms like a doll and watched TV with her.

After a while, Wuming turned his head and Xia Zhi said.

"It seems that this body also has that thing."

She tugged at her clothes, revealing her slender waist.

From her lower back, four scales, resembling snakes and thick like tails, extended out.

The four scales moved in mid-air according to the nameless man's will, sometimes forming the shape of a flower, sometimes coiling up into four spheres.

Xia Zhi gently touched Wuming's forehead, implanting spoilers about this world into Wuming's mind.

Wuming closed his eyes and spent a few minutes sorting out the new knowledge he had gained.

"Is this a Scaled Kagami?"

She touched the four scales, then retracted them into her body, rolling her eyes.

"Absorbing souls is out of the question, I don't want to eat people with my mouth."

Xia Zhi patted Wuming's little head.

"Whatever. This ghoul's body just happened to be there."

Wuming lay on Xia Zhi's body for a while, then asked him again.

"So, Master, you were just on the phone with Takatsuki Sen?"

Seeing Xia Zhi nod, Wuming frowned slightly and began to think deeply.

"Although Takatsuki Sen is 24 years old this year, she is only 1.5 meters tall, and she has a butt and breasts..."

Wuming looked at himself, who was now less than 1.5 meters tall but still had a butt and a chest, and his eyes gradually changed.

……

At 11:50 a.m. the next day, Takatsuki Sen, wearing black round-framed glasses, a brown knitted sweater, casual pants, and canvas shoes, arrived at the entrance of the antique café.

She had just stepped into the coffee shop when she heard someone shout.

"Izumi-chan, over here!"

Upon hearing this, store manager Yoshimura Kōzen turned his gaze over, and then his whole body trembled.

Faced with the sudden arrival of his daughter, whom he had been separated from since childhood, the old father was at a loss for what to do!

Chapter 102 Takatsuki Izumi breaks the defense

Ten minutes earlier than the agreed-upon 12 o'clock, Xia Zhi arrived at the antique coffee shop 20 minutes earlier.

Wuming stayed home playing computer games and didn't want to go out with him.

She even argued her point.

"If I go out with my owner, won't that affect his performance? So I won't go."

Xia Zhi ordered a mixed coffee and a sandwich, and as she sat down, she received more or less attention from the staff.

After all, Rize Kamishiro disappeared after following Xia Zhi that day, and has not appeared or been heard from since.

Given her enormous appetite—she eats enough to feed two or three people every week—this is practically impossible.

So either Rize Kamishiro ran to another district, or she was killed or captured.

Although it seemed unbelievable, Yoshimura Kozen's intuition told him that the result should be the latter.

Summer Solstice hadn't been sitting for long when she saw Takatsuki Sen outside the coffee shop.

She was very petite and had messy hair, which was quite fitting for a writer who didn't care about her appearance in order to meet deadlines.

Xia Zhi smiled and waved to her.

"Izumi-chan, over here!"

Takatsuki Sen looked at Xia Zhi, especially his unforgettable white hair, waved his hand, and walked into the coffee shop.

Immediately afterwards, Yoshimura Kozen was shocked by the appearance of Takatsuki Sen.

"Ete? What's she doing here? And she's here to see this guy who might have killed Rize Kamishiro?"

Although Yoshimura Kozen and his daughter were separated when they were young, he had always kept track of her whereabouts.

Ten years ago, upon hearing of the appearance of an SSS-class ghoul known as the "One-Eyed Owl," he guessed that the ghoul was most likely his daughter.

In order to protect Takatsuki Sen, who was injured in the CCG, he disguised himself as the One-Eyed Owl to attract the CCG's attention so that they could escape.

Although he eventually escaped safely, he had abandoned his daughter for more than ten years, which made him too ashamed to face her.

As long as I know news about her and that she's doing well, that's enough.

Takatsuki Sen glanced at her father, showing no surprise whatsoever, and gave him a slight smile.

"Manager, one of your signature coffees, please."

"……it is good."

Looking at his daughter, Yoshimura Kozen couldn't help but pause for a moment before nodding gently.

At the same time, as a bestselling author, Takatsuki Sen has quite a few fans.

Seeing her almost completely exposed outfit, and hearing Xia Zhi's earlier nickname for her "Quan-chan," many people turned their attention to her and began to whisper among themselves.

Among them are Kaneki Ken and his friend Nagachika Hideyoshi.

Looking at Xia Zhi and Takatsuki Sen sitting face to face, Kaneki Ken whispered to Nagachika Hideyoshi.

"Could that be Ms. Takatsuki Sen?"

Hideyoshi Nagachika also said in a low voice.

"That should be right. Are they on a date?"

……

Xia Zhi casually set up a soundproof barrier to prevent others from hearing their conversation, and teased Takatsuki Sen.

"Nice to meet you, Izumi-chan. My name is Natsushi. You may call me Master."

Despite realizing that Xia Zhi had come for her, Takatsuki Sen remained unmoved by Xia Zhi's words.

She first put her bag aside, then covered her cheek with one hand and responded with a smile.

"Xia Jun is surprisingly perverted to expect others to call him 'master' when he's just meeting a lady."

Xia Zhi held the mixed coffee in her hand and looked at Takatsuki Izumi's grass-green eyes, which deeply concealed her emotions, revealing only a business-like, shallow smile.

"I rarely fail to get what I want, so I'm just letting Izumi get used to this title in advance."

Just like the nameless person now.

Although Xia Zhi had lifted the hypnosis on her, Wuming still served and addressed him as "master".

Of course, sometimes it's also "master," "dad," "onii-chan," or something like that.

Xia Zhi took a liking to Takatsuki Sen and wanted to make her her own.

He had prepared a lot for this purpose, hoping to persuade Takatsuki Sen to voluntarily join his side.

Of course, if all else fails, Xia Zhi wouldn't mind giving her a hypnosis treatment.

Opposite him, Takatsuki Sen looked rather strange.

This guy has guts! He dares to talk to her like that even knowing who she is.

Is there an ambush?

However, he had sent Tatara and Noro to scout the area an hour earlier, but they had not found any ambush.

Moreover, her father is here, and his employees are all very capable.

Two SSS-rank ghouls and several S-rank ghouls—it would be impossible to take them down unless the CCG deployed a large number of investigators.

So, what makes this guy so confident?

Want to be my master?

Even Kishou Arima, the "White Reaper," isn't this arrogant!

Stirring the mixed coffee brought by waitress Kirishima Touka, Takatsuki Sen smiled on the surface, but inwardly she felt a great murderous intent because of Natsumi's offense.

If this guy can't give her a satisfactory explanation, then kill him and eat him!

As a result, when the summer solstice arrived, he expressed his heartfelt ridicule towards Takatsuki Sen's wish, which she had planned and worked hard for for more than ten years.

"Excuse me for speaking frankly—peace between ghouls and humans is impossible. Izumi-chan, you're just too naive."

Clap!

Takatsuki Sen couldn't resist and snapped the plastic spoon in her hand.

The smile on her face faltered, and she glanced at Xia Zhi with a chilling murderous intent.

"I can't just laugh that off."

Xia Zhi smiled nonchalantly: "Would you be afraid of a kitten that hasn't even grown all its baby teeth yet and is baring its teeth and claws at you?"

He asked Takatsuki Sen a question.

"Izumi-chan, do you know how many ghouls there are in the whole country?"

Takatsuki Izumi was stunned.

In the current situation, most ghouls are hiding from the CCG's attempts to capture them.

They hide among humans, and many ghouls have never been identified, let alone had their numbers recorded.

Seeing Takatsuki Sen standing there dumbfounded, Natsumi continued to ask.

"So, to take a step back, how many ghouls are there in Tokyo?"
