Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

"Of course not, there's just something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

As he spoke, Uchiha Byakuya pulled Nimura and Rize in front of him. "These two children both come from 'Washu,' and their identities are very special, so I am now considered a 'traitor' by 'Washu.'"

"..."

Kamishiro Kakeru naturally wouldn't easily believe what a guy he'd just met said. "What good would that do me? If what you're saying is true, it'll only put me in danger, right?"

"That's true. The only benefit for you would be having an extra pair of adopted sons and daughters. I just felt that Senior Kamishiro was trustworthy, so I came to ask you. If you're not willing, I'll find another way."

Uchiha Byakuya stated directly.

He was telling the truth and didn't try to fool Kamishiro Chasei with empty promises or anything like that.

Hearing that the other party even knew his surname, Kamishiro Kakeru became even more convinced of the truthfulness of what the other party said.

"That 'Black Reaper' who appeared at that auction before, that must be you, right?"

"I ask you, Kamishiro Chasei."

The auction incident at the time almost shocked the entire ghoul world, because most of the upper-class ghouls were almost wiped out in one fell swoop.

One of the black-clad investigators earned his name due to a combination of factors, including killing the high-ranking "First Madam" and being a Special Investigator himself.

Kamishiro Kakeru had also heard the rumor, and combined with some other deeds of that "Black Reaper," he felt that it was very likely the young man in black in front of him.

"Yes."

Uchiha Byakuya nodded.

“Going against ‘He Xiu’ is not a wise move, but I will look after these two little ones for the time being, out of respect for Gong Shan.”

Kamishiro Kaga agreed anyway.

"Thank you, Senior Kamishiro."

Uchiha Byakuya then said to Nimura and Rize, "You two will stay here in the 6th district for now. I'll come back to you after I've finished dealing with my business."

"Brother Baiye, can't you hide with us like this?"

Erfu couldn't help but ask.

Uchiha Byakuya shook his head slightly, "Hiding like this isn't a solution. With 'Washu's' methods, they'll find us sooner or later, and it's time for me to settle things with them."

"All right......"

Erfu also understood that what Brother Baiye said made a lot of sense.

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

Meanwhile, the Washuu clan had already learned that Uchiha Byakuya had been successfully expelled.

However, Nifuku and Rize have not yet been found, so they can only investigate in secret and dare not let the "V" organization act openly.

Even CCG investigators couldn't be mobilized because the mission was unjustifiable; there was no plausible reason for investigators to arrest two children.

This is why, in the original work, Rize Kamishiro was able to hunt freely everywhere without being captured by the Washuu family, and the fact that the CCG named her "Oogami" indicates that she was treated as an ordinary ghoul.

Because they were very troubled by the affairs of Nifuku and Rize, the Washuu family handled Byakuya Uchiha's funeral in a rather direct and casual manner.

They only announced to the public that Uchiha Byakuya had sacrificed himself, without revealing any specific details. They did not smear Uchiha Byakuya's reputation, or rather, they had no time to consider how to smear him.

"Really? Uchiha and the others actually sacrificed themselves? This...this is too sudden..."

"It's unbelievable that even Uchihata and others have suffered setbacks. This time, our CCG has lost one of its most important generals."

“I heard that Uchihata and the others are now in charge of investigating the ghoul organization ‘Aogiri Tree’ in the 24th Ward. It’s estimated that ‘Aogiri Tree’ killed Uchihata and the others. Now, ‘Aogiri Tree’ is probably the biggest threat we are facing.”

"Sigh...this was all so sudden..."

"..."

At this time, the atmosphere within CCG was inevitably somewhat somber.

While it's normal for ghoul investigators to sacrifice themselves, the sacrifice of a Special Class Investigator is completely different from that of a Second Class Investigator.

The sudden loss of a "key general" will definitely affect morale to some extent.

Mado Miki and Mado Kureo were the most incredulous, unable to believe that Uchihata and the others would sacrifice themselves so hastily.

Only Arima Kishou was able to roughly guess what had happened.

It's nothing more than related to the Hexiu family.

However, he didn't expect Bai Ye to die so suddenly. It seemed that Bai Ye had done many things without his knowledge, no wonder the "V" organization mobilized almost its entire force today...

Now that Bai Ye is dead, their plan to join forces with the "Bronze Tree" is even more hopeless.

But he still won't give up.

Although the real high-ranking members of the CCG are the Washuu family, they still have to put on a show for the human investigators.

Therefore, as is customary, the CCG will hold a funeral for Uchiha Byakuya and send out all of Uchiha Byakuya's will.

Chapter 133 Miss Takatsuki, please accept my condolences.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Byakuya was unaware that the CCG would hold a funeral for him.

He hadn't even considered this question, and the Xiu family simply assumed he was dead.

So after he took Nifuku and Rize to District 6 and handed them over to Kamishiro Kazuyoshi, he leisurely added points to himself.

It also restores physical strength, pupil function, and RC cells.

Make ample preparations for the final decisive battle.

[Current attribute points: 1550]

[Ding! Host has successfully added skill points!]

【Physique +55】

[RC cell count +950]

[Attribute Points -1500]

As always, Uchiha Byakuya reserved some attribute points for future use.

Almost without realizing it, Uchiha Byakuya had accumulated so many attribute points during this period of time.

After this round of skill point allocation, Uchiha Byakuya's "Constitution" and "RC Cell Value" almost doubled.

[Physique: 120]

[RC cell value: 500 (store +2000)]

Now, Byakuya Uchiha's RC cell count should be sufficient to support the relatively casual use of the "Dual Kamui" eye technique.

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

The suicide notes sent by CCG were delivered to Shōeisha, the publishing house of the writer "Takatsuki Sen".

Based on the latest address of "Takatsuki Sen" ("Antei Ward Coffee Shop"), Shoeisha delivered it to "Antei Ward" in the 20th ward.

At that moment, Yoshimura Aite was drinking coffee and reading a book in the shop when he suddenly received some inexplicable things.

The person responsible for sending these suicide notes was a ghoul investigator from the CCG, and a young female investigator at that.

"Ms. Takatsuki, these are things left behind by Uchihata and the others..."

The female investigator personally handed the suicide note to Yoshimura Eto, speaking in a somber tone.

"...What's this?"

Yoshimura Etto clearly hadn't realized what was happening.

However, the other person's expression and tone made her realize that things might be going wrong.

"Uchihata waited for him... He sacrificed himself, and these are all things left for you..."

The female investigator hesitated for a moment, but still managed to say it.

"OK......"

Yoshimura Ete calmly accepted the envelopes.

Each suicide note was individually wrapped, but Uchiha Byakuya wrote them all to the same person.

"Also, we will be holding a funeral for Uchihata and the others tomorrow. If it's convenient for you, Ms. Takatsuki, we would appreciate it if you could attend..."

"Um... please accept my condolences..."

After leaving those words, the female investigator departed.

Fortunately, the family member of Uchihata was relatively calm. Her biggest worry was that the family member would become too emotional, which would put a lot of psychological pressure on her.

Yoshimura Kōzen and the shop assistants had almost all heard the news of Uchiha Byakuya's sacrifice, and their expressions were either sorrowful, solemn, or incredulous.

The shop assistants were unaware of Uchiha Byakuya's connection to the Washuu clan. They assumed that Uchiha Byakuya had died while on a CCG mission and found it hard to imagine what kind of ghoul could have caused him to perish.

Could it be the "One-Eyed King" or "One-Eyed Owl" from the "Bronze Tree"?

Even someone as powerful as Yomo Renji and Uta were powerless against Uchiha Byakuya. After much thought, the only possible candidates were the two SSS-rank ghouls from the "Aogiri Tree".

Clearly, apart from Yoshimura Kōzen, none of the shop assistants knew the true identities of the "One-Eyed King" and the "One-Eyed Owl," who were actually Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto.

Even Yoshimura Kōzen only knew that "One-Eyed Owl" was Eto, but didn't know where the "One-Eyed King" came from.
