Live Survival, but Start with Attack on Titan

"No...I just feel..."

Walking towards the green-haired woman named Takatsuki Izumi, Anhe's expression was very solemn...

[Giant Slayer——Activated]

Looking down at the woman holding the pen, An He's eyes were terrifying.

【Has it been discovered? 】

[After spending a long time with Mado Kure, Yasuha's intuition has become very sharp.]

【Niu Ah An-chan~】

"Is there a problem?"

There was no trace of panic on his face. Takatsuki Izumi supported his chin and looked up with interest, staring at the investigator with a scary expression.

"No, you are much stronger than you look..."

Normal female height, normal body shape...

Wearing a casual outfit of lazy overalls, this woman doesn't look like someone who can activate the ability of [Giant Killer].

But she did just that...

"Teacher Izumi Takatsuki~"

"Really... you were so busy that you forgot to eat dinner again!"

"Ah...sorry sorry..."

There was a woman next to him who looked like an assistant or an agent, holding two small paper bags that seemed to contain some snacks.

"This is Taiyaki. Eat two to fill your stomach."

"Good~"

With long drawn-out words, the woman writing composed a dish of Taiyaki.

"Give this to the Inspector-san too. He looks so hungry that his eyes are wide open~"

The author did not regard Anhe's gaze as a symbol of terror, and was calm and somewhat beyond common sense...

"Hmm? Sir, you too..."

"Ah, forget it... What did you buy? This Taiyaki has gone sour."

He took just half a bite and spat out the snack in his mouth in disgust. Takatsuki Izumi took the cup with disgust and started rinsing his mouth.

"Ah? Really? Sorry... Teacher, I just bought it at the stall..."

Feeling jealous?

After taking a look at the Taiyaki that looked normal, Anhe patted the "assistant" on the shoulder.

"Miss, can you show me this?"

"Ah...does the Inspector still care about this?"

Seeing that the boy was so concerned about the "sour" thing, the assistant was surprised and handed him a piece of Taiyaki.

'Sour...'

The red bean-filled dessert should be crispy and soft with a rich sweet taste... But it seems that because the dough used is a little spoiled, it does have a faint sour taste...

The slightly spoiled skin gave off a sour taste mixed with the rich sweetness of the red bean filling. If you don’t have a keen sense of taste, you might not even notice the difference...

But——how could a ghoul have such a keen sense of taste!!!

Ghouls can't eat human food, they just feel disgusted, isn't that right???

No! There is definitely something wrong with this Takatsuki Izumi, but her disguise is too perfect. If I continue to investigate without any evidence, it will only cause chaos...

But it doesn't matter...

There are many ways to detect ghouls within CCG...

For this time, let’s stop here.

"Miss, please take me to the vendor selling Taiyaki."

"Ah! That's great... These evil-minded merchants must be punished. Let's go together, Mr. Investigator..."

By the way, I brought a dinner to Teacher Takatsuki Izumi. The assistant was very excited and pulled Anhe to the other side of the street...

"Oh! By the way, Mr. Anhe~"

"I will need to collect materials later, so I will come back to CCG headquarters to visit~~"

"See you next time~"

Not at all affected by the boy's emotions, the novelist waved goodbye to the investigator.

【Hahaha】

[Takatsuki Izumi, you really have a bad heart]

[What does it mean to be fearless? It's okay even if it's delivered to your door]

'...'

[Giant Slayer - Not Activated]

The dim talent entry announced that there were no more ghouls around.

As the assistant guided him towards the corner of the street, An He's expression became increasingly ugly.

That ghoul had no intention of hiding anything...

If she really wanted to play an ordinary person, facing the investigator who was hostile to her for no reason, the attitude of a human author should be to feel 'incomprehensible' and ask the reason...

But that guy named Takatsuki Izumi.

But she knew exactly why she was suspected, so she smiled and even provocatively said, "I have a sense of taste"...

But how is this possible!!!

"If ghouls could eat human food, all this struggle would have ended long ago!"

"Investigator, it's that Taiyaki restaurant!"

Having found the investigator's support, the young assistant straightened his back and looked aggressive.

"Yeah. I'll take care of it..."

......

no result.

That Taiyaki restaurant...it was indeed due to the negligence of the staff that they used the batter that should have been discarded, which caused the product to have a little sourness due to spoilage...

It wasn’t food prepared in advance, and there was no design arranged in advance...it was all just an accident.

Even the human assistant said during the conversation that Miss Takatsuki Izumi likes to eat all kinds of local snacks... Whenever she doesn't have time to eat, she will ask her to buy snacks...

Is this reasonable?

Sitting in his own small gym, Anhe's expression was uncertain as he had to dismiss the previous manager and close the gym due to the investigator's job.

"Takatsuki Spring..."

What level of existence is this guy...

......

"There's nothing today..."

After a busy day, Suzuya returned to the department with Shinohara, holding his head high and putting his hands behind his neck, looking bored.

"Don't say that... Routine inspections are the job of the investigators."

"It's also important to conduct a thorough investigation, Suzuya."

Like a father, Shinohara, who was leading the white-haired boy, said so...

“But it’s boring…”

"what!"

The green-haired beauty novelist who had been entangled with the front desk for quite some time noticed the two investigators sharply and immediately came over!

"Very good! How did you make these lines?"

The enthusiastic Takatsuki Izumi approaches quickly, which scares Suzuya so much that he doesn't know how to face it...

"Ms. Takatsuki Izumi, even if this is a previously scheduled interview, please keep a certain distance and don't scare our investigators."

Walking down the stairs, An He looked at the 'ghoul' who had come as promised, and his expression had returned to calm.

[Great Onmyoji: I really hate people who have no sense of boundaries~]

"Ah~ sorry."

With a chuckle, Takatsuki Izumi took two steps back.

"Anhe?"

......

"So... Miss Takatsuki Izumi, a famous novelist, wants to create a new work based on the themes of investigators and ghouls?"

Looking at the woman opposite him holding a small notebook, Shinohara really couldn't understand why there would be such a novelist.

And... a big fire right now?

Do today's readers like this kind of subject matter?

“Generally speaking, CCG’s policy is not to allow any creator to come and collect materials.”

Drinking the coffee prepared by CCG, Anhe sat next to Lingya, his tone no longer as solemn as yesterday.

But——due to the popularity of this novelist, it seems that the department has given special permission...

"Don't mind, it's not confidential, I just have a few questions for you guys~"

The green-haired woman quickly twirled the ballpoint pen on her fingertips, still with a smile on her face.

"What's it about?"

The other party is quite famous, and it would be impolite to just chase him away.

Therefore, Shinohara was still prepared to listen to the other party's request.

"A small question about whether it is possible to artificially create ghouls~"

"...You...what do you mean?"

"For example, if you put the flesh, organs, or anything else of a ghoul into a human's body... is it possible for that human to become a ghoul?"

Listening to the calm and plain narration of the woman in front of him, Shinohara's hair stood on end.

Suzuya, who was sitting between Shinohara and Yasuka, was originally a very safe and optimistic boy, but now he seemed to be half scared by the woman opposite him and was unusually "well-behaved".

"In that case...what will happen..."

Folding his arms, Shinohara began to think in shock...

[Tsk tsk tsk, what a rip-off]

[She really won't stop unless she forces the CCG to fire at the antiques]

"...Is this your purpose? One-eyed owl..."

There was no expression on his face. An He just drank the coffee in the cup silently without making any statement.

"Well, the answer is 'what will happen?'..."

Not caring about the 'official' and 'ambiguous' answer, the novelist scribbled in his notebook...

'After all, her purpose was to give hints, not to ask for information...'

Judging from the "bullshit" comments in the barrage, An He already knew the identity of the woman in front of him.

The 'One-eyed Owl' in the first crusade is the real 'Bronze Tree Leader'.

The one-eyed ghoul, the store manager's daughter...

"Ah... I'm usually the type who fights on the front lines, so I'm not sure if this is a possibility."
