Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

Sanbo Reika realized that Ms. Aite was talking about her, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"..."

Arima Kishou did not respond, but he took it to heart.

In reality, he didn't really want to think about matters of love and romance, after all, he was half-human and his lifespan was only about one-third that of a normal human.

He looks only eighteen years old now, but he only has a little over ten years left to live.

............

[Ding! Host has completed the daily check-in and received a reward: 1 attribute point!]

As time passed, Uchiha Byakuya still didn't forget to sign in every day to get attribute points.

I received some good news today: the publishing process is now complete.

The revised version that Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto finalized together has already had its first batch of physical books printed and is being sold in various physical bookstores.

"I've finally waited for this day. I've already written almost half of my new book."

Yoshimura Aite's face immediately lit up with anticipation. "Let's go to a physical bookstore together. I want to see what my published book looks like."

"it is good."

Uchiha Byakuya nodded.

Only he and Yoshimura Eto went out together.

Little Kurumi has Juuzou Suzuya to play with at home, so there's nothing to worry about.

............

Tokyo is so big.

You can easily find a physical bookstore not far away.

However, Yoshimura Ete's "To Kafka" has only just been published, and only the first batch of physical copies has been printed in limited quantities, and it has not been distributed to all bookstores.

So Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto searched two bookstores before finally finding "To Kafka" at the second one.

It can be seen that the placement is rather inconspicuous. After all, the prominent positions are occupied by best-selling works or new works by famous authors, which is of course normal.

"In such a remote location..."

Seeing this, Yoshimura Ete couldn't help but make a comment.

"There's nothing we can do. Professor Takatsuki isn't famous yet. Things will be different once she gains fame."

Uchiha Byakuya explained.

"And it looks like not many copies have been sold yet. Sales probably aren't going to be very good."

Yoshimura Eto said calmly.

She didn't feel disappointed, after all, she was very rational.

For her, it was already a great achievement to be able to publish successfully; she hadn't really expected any great results.

"These have only just been distributed to bookstores and haven't been promoted much yet, so we can't see any results for now. It will take some time to build up."

Uchiha Byakuya analyzed.

He wasn't trying to comfort Yoshimura Ete; he was just stating the facts.

"Let's take another look."

Yoshimura Ete still didn't have much hope, "But before that, let's buy a copy first."

She had long planned to take her published book to "Anting District," and this trip was mainly for that purpose.

But just then, Yoshimura Eto noticed a little boy stopping in front of the "To Kafka" section, seemingly attracted by her work.

She immediately stopped and grabbed Uchiha Byakuya.

"That child seems to have some ideas."

Yoshimura Eto whispered to Uchiha Byakuya.

"Well, after all, it's a work by Professor Takatsuki, so it's bound to be very appealing."

Uchiha Byakuya said with an air of self-righteousness.

It made even more sense when he saw the boy's face.

Isn't that little boy Ken Kaneki?

She was petite, with neat, jet-black hair, dressed in ordinary clothes, and carrying a black backpack.

I estimate she's in elementary school and looks to be only about ten years old.

The reason it's considered more reasonable is because in the original work, Kaneki Ken always really liked Takatsuki Sen's works.

"Although I'm happy to be praised, I also feel like you're pitying me."

Yoshimura Eto couldn't understand why Uchiha Byakuya was so confident in her work; she felt that Byakuya was just trying to comfort her.

"But let's not go there for now. I want to see what happens to that child next."

Yoshimura Aite said something.

Seeing people interested in her work and even wanting to buy it gave her a novel feeling.

However, Kaneki Ken seemed a little hesitant at the next moment.

He tried flipping through "To Kafka" for a while, found it really interesting, and then decided to buy it.

Only then did Yoshimura Eto approach Kaneki Ken and say, "Little friend, you really like this book, don't you?"

"Eh?!"

The introverted and timid Kaneki Ken was startled when he was suddenly struck up a conversation with a complete stranger.

After a while, he stammered and nodded, "Um... I like it very much..."

"Not bad, little friend, you have a good eye."

Yoshimura Et said with a smile.

Sensing that the other person meant no harm and seemed quite friendly, Kaneki Ken finally relaxed a bit.

"You...you guys like this work too?"

It's rare for Kaneki Ken to have something to talk about with someone about reading, so he tried to muster up the courage to ask.

Chapter 117 I love Takatsuki-sensei the most.

[Ding! Host has successfully completed "Task Two: Successful Publication and Sale of 'To Kafka'", reward: 50 attribute points!]

Task 2 is complete; Task 3 is now activated.

[Task 3: Help Takatsuki Sen achieve a degree of fame]

[Task Reward: 100 Attribute Points]

The new task is not difficult, or rather, the main difficulty lies in the many tedious tasks.

Marketing tactics such as holding author launch events, fan meetings, and autograph sessions can help increase Fangcun Aite's fame.

Of course, the most important thing is to have a high-quality work.

So even if Uchiha Byakuya hadn't used those marketing tactics, Yoshimura Eto would have become a somewhat famous writer sooner or later. But using those marketing tactics would have allowed him to complete the mission faster.

"Yes, we love Takatsuki-sensei's work the most, don't you agree, darling?"

At this moment, Yoshimura Eto responded to Kaneki Ken's question.

"Yes, I like Takatsuki-sensei the most."

Uchiha Byakuya said calmly.

Yoshimura Eto immediately sensed something was amiss, and she quickly pinched Uchiha Byakuya lightly. This guy was still being so indecent at a time like this.

However, Kaneki Ken didn't hear anything.

He was quite excited to be able to discuss his favorite books with others.

Afterwards, Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto discussed "To Kafka" with Kaneki Ken.

Ken Kaneki could never have imagined that the two people he was talking to were, one was the contracted editor of "To Kafka," and the other was the author of "To Kafka" himself.

At this moment, Eto Yoshimura was talking to Ken Kaneki, while Byakuya Uchiha was looking at Ken Kaneki and fell into a brief state of contemplation.

Although I made contact with Kaneki Ken, I didn't activate any missions.

It's probably because Kaneki Ken is just an ordinary human at this point in his life, and at this stage, Kaneki Ken only has family problems.

Kaneki Ken's beloved mother is indeed very gentle to outsiders and never refuses anyone, but at home she often beats and scolds Kaneki Ken, venting and blaming all her misfortunes and negative emotions on him.

However, after his mother passed away due to overwork, Kaneki Ken suffered selective amnesia, forgetting the things his mother did for him and only remembering her gentle side, thus developing a dual personality.

So, Kaneki Ken already had a split personality before he was abused by "Gecko/Jason" Yamori.

However, Uchiha Byakuya didn't know whether Kaneki Ken was currently in the period before or after his mother's death, and he couldn't interfere in other people's family affairs.
