His expression returned to seriousness, and An He knew this.

The investment of a large number of CCG personnel resulted in only half of the casualties and very little results.

After this battle, the commander-in-chief, Marutesai, was directly pushed to the forefront... If the director had not entrusted him with the important task against all odds, no one would have been too surprised to see the commander-in-chief resign under the pressure.

But no matter how you put it.

That blatant failure dealt a heavy blow to CCG.

The eleventh district could not be recaptured - and the tenth and ninth districts were gradually controlled by ghouls.

Now the 'Bronze Tree' has a tendency to extend its tentacles into deeper areas.

"The General Administration determined that... District 3 or District 13 might become future targets... Therefore, a number of personnel were actually assigned to specifically guard those two areas."

"Is this so..."

But if we do this... the defense in other areas will soon become worse...

......

"Hello everyone~ I'm here to deliver something~"

A blond boy wearing a red and white baseball cap poked his head out of the office door and greeted Takizawa in the studio with a smile.

"Oh? A messenger?"

The second-class investigator who was working in front of the computer looked up...

"Mr. Masamichi... My name is Nagachika... You should remember my name too..."

Nagachika Hideyoshi often works as a messenger to deliver letters to and from CCG. This is not the first time that he has met Takizawa Second Order.

"Sorry...I've been a bit busy with work lately..."

"What are you investigating?"

Seemingly out of sheer curiosity, Yongjin scanned the pages on the computer...

【Ghoul: Eyepatch】

"This ghoul? As I recall... the first sighting seemed to have happened in the 20th district."

"You know a lot about it..."

Takizawa showed a little surprise, and he didn't seem to be on guard against this messenger boy who had been praised several times by his superiors:

"Yes, he is highly suspected of colluding with Rabbit to kill the investigator..."

"What about this guy named Naki?"

Show a little curiosity and naturally start to deepen the conversation...

"Ah, he seems to be Jason's younger brother from District 13..."

"He was originally going to be sent to Kuquelia, but he was intercepted and taken back by the 'eyepatch' during the escort..."

"Cukelia?"

"That's the ghoul internment camp in District 23..."

That's right.

Although in this world, ghouls must eat humans to survive.

But for various reasons, CCG still established a prison-like containment facility.

Instead of executing the ghouls directly, they are detained and managed together.

As for the specific reason... Takizawa is not sure...

"Besides, there are quite a few S and SS-class prisoners there..."

“What a scary place...”

"Ah... If possible, I don't want to work in that kind of place..."

They started chatting with complete familiarity, and during this busy working time, Takizawa was able to relax a little because of Nagachika's arrival.

"So... will the ghouls save their companions?"

"It's hard to say... They may not even have a sense of companionship."

"So, there are very few ghoul organizations?"

"No!"

Sitting up straight and solemnly, Takizawa turned his head:

"The owl that appeared ten years ago also has its own organization. For example, the Demon Ape of District 20 and the Black Doberman also had conflicts over territory..."

"When did you become an intelligence agent? Second-class investigator Takizawa..."

Walking into the office with only two people, the cold-faced Mado Akira interrupted their 'pleasant' conversation.

Disclosing potentially confidential information and non-CCG personnel casually like this...

"You're being taken so seriously...Xiao."

Arriving at the office door with Shinohara, Anhe heard the quarrel and spoke to comfort them.

"As for Nagachika, I've known him before. He's indeed a nice guy."

[This kid Nagachika is here to gather information for Kaneki again]

[He is just a human being, but he is really capable...]

"That's right, Mado! We're just chatting, don't take it so seriously!"

Takizawa, who was feeling somewhat guilty at first, immediately became tough again when he saw that even Investigator Anhe was on his side!

Even the powerful Investigator Anhe believed that he did nothing wrong, so what was there to worry about?

"Ah... sorry, I'll leave now."

Because of his presence, a quarrel broke out. The guilty blond boy didn't dare to face Mado Akira's sharp eyes. He just picked up his letter bag and hurried away...

"If you have any trouble, remember to come to me."

Knowing who Yongqin was running around for, Anhe called out to the somewhat flustered boy and gave him a friendly smile.

"Eh..."

"If you forget yourself too much, you'll put yourself in danger... and make your friends sad..."

"..."

"So, if there's anything I can help with, just come and find me."

Regardless of Nagachika's shocked expression, Yasukawa and Shinohara just continued to move forward...

"Mr. Yasukawa... I just want to make sure..."

His actions were denied by the senior investigator, and Mado Akira, with a red face, became anxious.

This man who even his father praised was undoubtedly not on the same level as Takizawa, but if he said what he said...

"what?"

Although she was a contemporary of Mado Akira, it was the first time she saw that cold and strong woman showing such a shy and anxious expression. Takizawa was stunned for a moment - and then he began to hold back his laughter...

Even an arrogant guy like Mado Akira has moments like this...

"No, it's not wrong for Akatsuki to be on guard, I just said that because I know that person..."

"Haha, it's great to be young..."

Seeing that Mado Akira, who repeatedly complained about being "difficult to get along with", was as easy to control as an innocent girl in front of Yasukawa, Shinohara couldn't help but smile.

"Come on, let's go to the conference room together. Mr. Hodera has some reports to make - about 'eyepatch'."

......

In the strict meeting room, Lingwu, who was the last to arrive and was late, was hunched over, holding various sweet snacks in his arms...

Seeing Yamen's gentle yet stern eyes, Kozuya's body stiffened.

But when she found that there was a friendly man in the meeting room today, Suzuya's eyes lit up, and she moved a small stool to the man without hesitation... avoiding the gaze of Kotaro Amon.

[He ran over to Anhe when he saw him, just like an insecure little chicken, Suzuya]

[Haha, what a cute way to describe it]

"Long time no see, Brother Anhe..."

"You..."

Although Suzuya's smile was very bright, when he saw Amon's resentful eyes, Anhe could only respond with a bitter smile.

"Don't bring snacks to serious places..."

Patting Lingwu's hand, Anhe leaned close to the child's ear:

"Also, Mr. Amon likes to eat sweets... If you eat them alone, he might hate you..."

Hahahaha, that's right.

An He also occasionally knew about it when the three of them were working together before.

Yamen is actually a sweet lover and can't stand even a little bit of spicy food...

"Understand the falling wire~"

Leaning close to Anhe, Lingwu put the snacks back into his pocket obediently and no longer made any small movements.

"Ah... Investigator Anhe is really popular..."

Seeing this scene, Shinohara was quite moved.

Is it because we are of similar age?

Although Zheng Anhe is already as superior as Yamen, and has a considerable reputation within CCG, even Yamen, who was originally his predecessor, respects him very much.

But in fact...the new generation of investigators are all very good friends with this guy.

Needless to say, Suzuya's relationship is so good that it almost makes Shinohara, their guardian, jealous.

Mado Akira...If I must say something, it's probably because I feel so grateful for saving my father that I care so much about him.

But even Takizawa Masamichi is happy to be close to Anhe, so this is no longer a simple matter of admiration.

It seems that Anhe is not only strong in strength...

"I feel like my partner is about to be snatched away by An He."

"Me too..."

"Who would refuse to partner with Mr. Yasukawa..."

Muttering very quietly, Takizawa looked at the investigator with eyes full of longing.

Strong, yet extremely caring towards his companions.

As long as I'm with that person, I won't die even if I'm targeted by a ghoul.

Even people like Mado Wuojo who acted recklessly could be saved from the ghouls by Mr. Yasukawa...

He is strong, reliable and easy to talk to, and he doesn't seem to have a bad temper at all.

Although Mr. Hodera is also a very good senior, if there is a choice, Takizawa also wants to work with Mr. Yasukawa...

"Okay, back to the meeting."

"The Dharma Temple."

"what."

Opening the file in front of him, the smiling man's face gradually became solemn:

"In fact, while searching for information about the 'eyepatch' ghoul, we discovered an extremely strange incident..."

"During the time between the disappearance of 'Da Kuu' and the appearance of 'Eye Patch', an accident occurred at a construction site..."

"In the accident, a doctor transplanted the boy's organs into the female who died in the accident..."

"And the most critical thing is...both the doctor and the teenager were missing after the incident."

Even the woman who died in the accident...
