Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

"Teacher Aite, I never expected to run into you here. By the way, is this your boyfriend next to you?"

Sanba Reika also mentioned Uchiha Byakuya, just to make it sound like she didn't know Uchiha Byakuya at all.

It just so happens that she was the only one in the entire "Anding District" who knew both Fangcun Aite and the name "Aite".

Upon hearing the word "Aite," the others didn't react much, except for Yoshimura Kozen, whose eyes, which had been squinting, immediately opened.

Not only does she look somewhat like Yuna, but she even shares the same name, "Aite." Could there really be such a coincidence?

This can't be a coincidence, can it...?

However, Yoshimura Kozen was not entirely sure. He simply watched silently and continued listening to the conversation between Miha Reika and Yoshimura Eto.

"...Yes, Little Plum, do you work here?"

A somewhat complicated smile appeared on Yoshimura Eto's face.

Since Xiaolihua just mentioned her name, Gongshan must already be suspicious of her identity.

Unexpectedly, this is how Gong Shan recognized her...

However, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing; in fact, Xiaolihua indirectly helped her resolve her inner hesitation and inner conflict.

"Yes, everyone here is very kind to me, and I really enjoy working here."

Sanbo Lihua said.

"That's really nice."

Fangcun Eite said.

At this point, Yoshimura Kōzen became increasingly suspicious that the girl was his and Yuna's child.

He even felt that Aite's cold attitude towards him just now was because she recognized him.

But when a girl who looked like his daughter appeared in front of him, Yoshimura Kōzen didn't dare to ask her anything.

After all, he felt too guilty towards Yoshimura Eto and was ashamed to face her.

Apart from Yoshimura Kōzen, the other shop assistants were only slightly surprised that Miha Reika and Yoshimura Eto knew each other.

"Sister Lihua actually knows that older sister too, what a coincidence."

Touka Kirishima exclaimed in surprise.

"The title 'Teacher Aite' sounds like it refers to a writer or something, perhaps a well-known one. And Xiaolihua also likes to read, so it's no wonder she knows him."

Kirishima Kou reasonably speculated.

Sifang Lian Shi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly remained highly vigilant.

After chatting with Yoshimura Eto for a while, Sanbo Reika started working.

Yoshimura Ete's mood was no longer so conflicted, because judging from Gong Shan's somewhat solemn expression, he must have already recognized her.

"That's enough, let's go back."

Yoshimura Eto said something to Uchiha Byakuya.

"Ah."

Uchiha Byakuya responded.

He didn't say much; it was already quite good that there was any progress in this matter.

Even as the two were about to leave, Yoshimura Kōzen still couldn't make up his mind to acknowledge Eto. At that moment, he was filled with mixed feelings.

But at that moment, Yoshimura Eto glanced at Yoshimura Kozen, his expression no longer as cold as before, and left a sentence in a calm tone.

"The coffee is delicious, I'll definitely come back next time."

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

P.S.: Requesting some free gifts~

Chapter 122: They're probably getting married soon.

Yoshimura Kozen's expression froze slightly; he clearly hadn't expected Yoshimura Eto to say those words to him.

Sure enough, the girl in front of him was Aite, and she had already recognized him...

"see you next time."

Yoshimura Kousan smiled.

Yoshimura Ete didn't say anything more, but closed the copy of "To Kafka" in his hand and placed it on the table.

Clearly, she didn't intend to take it with her; she left the book here instead.

Afterwards, Yoshimura Eto left with Uchiha Byakuya.

Apart from Yoshimura Kōzen, no one in the shop could understand the meaning behind Yoshimura Ete's words and the book he left behind.

Yoshimura Kōzen walked to the table where Yoshimura Eto had just sat down and picked up the book on the table.

Looking at the book title "To Kafka" and the signature "Takatsuki Sen," Yoshimura Kōzen fell into deep thought...

He certainly didn't know that "Takatsuki Sen" was actually Yoshimura Eto's pen name, but he would probably be able to guess it after reading the contents of the book.

Yoshimura Kōzen didn't plan to open it right away, but put it away and would look at it when he had free time.

"I have a feeling that something has happened, but what could it be?"

Kirishima Kou sensed something unusual.

Yomo Renji didn't understand what his sister was saying. He only felt a sense of relief that the black-clad investigator hadn't recognized them and that nothing bad had happened.

At this moment, Yoshimura Kozen felt a slight sense of relief.

Before this, he thought Aite wouldn't want to meet him.

However, Yoshimura Yoshiki had another concern: why was Eto acting with CCG investigators, and why their relationship seemed clearly more than just casual...

It seems I should have a serious talk with that young man in black next time I have the chance.

But before that, it seems like we could talk to Miho Reika first.

"Sanbo, can you come upstairs with me to the second floor to talk?"

At this moment, Yoshimura Kōzen asked Miha Reika a question.

"Okay, store manager."

Sanbo Lihua immediately agreed.

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

Afterwards, Miha Reika followed Yoshimura Kozen to the lounge on the second floor.

"How long have you known that Ms. Aite you mentioned?"

Yoshimura Kousen asked.

"We've only known each other for a short time. Does that mean you know Teacher Aite, shop manager?"

Sanbo Lihua replied.

She had no idea about the true relationship between Yoshimura Kozen and that teacher, Aite.

"Um......"

Yoshimura Kozen simply responded without providing any further details.

Then he continued to ask:

"The young man who came with her must be an investigator, right? Do you know him?"

Of course, Yoshimura Kōzen hadn't forgotten that when Miwa Reika first came to "Antei Ward," the young man in black and the young man with blue hair also appeared in the store at the same time.

He felt that there weren't that many coincidences in the world, so he could deduce that Sanbo Lihua most likely knew that young man.

"..."

Sanbo Lihua was stunned for a moment.

She didn't expect that the store manager actually knew that Uchiha-kun was an investigator.

Should she continue to hide it now?

It seems there's no need to hide it anymore?

Sanba Reika was at a loss for what to do. She felt there was no need to hide it, but she didn't want to betray Uchiha-kun.

However, her brief hesitation had already given everything away.

Yoshimura Kōzen could roughly guess what Miha Reika was worried about, and he immediately said, "I've met him before and even fought with him, so I know he's an investigator. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you, because I have no hostility towards that young man."

He was telling the truth.

In his eyes, the only difference between him and that young man was their positions, and losing both arms was due to his lack of strength, so he wouldn't hold a grudge about what happened back then.

If we had to pinpoint the hatred he still finds hard to let go of, it would be the hatred between "Washington" and the "V" organization.

But the revenge he couldn't achieve back then is now even more impossible for him...

Moreover, now that he has discovered that the young man in black knows Eto and that their relationship is not simple, Yoshimura Kozen has even less hostility towards him.
