Tokyo Ghoul: Starting with the Twin Kamui

Yoshimura Aite readily agreed.

Chapter 111 Auction House

“Very good, I like a straightforward person like you, Miss.”

The "madam" immediately beamed with joy.

Because she thought she was getting a free advantage.

Little did she know, she was about to send two "Grim Reapers" to an auction.

Yoshimura Aite smiled but remained silent.

"And what about those two 'goods'? Just take me to pick them up."

The lady was already barely able to contain her excitement.

Yoshimura Ete then led the "madam" to a dark corner not far away, where two boxes were quietly placed.

“I’ve already packed them in these two boxes. You can just take them to the auction in a truck.”

Yoshimura Eto said, "They are still unconscious and don't have any Quinques. Even the strongest ghoul investigator is practically a lamb to the slaughter without Quinques."

"Uh-huh!"

The "madam" had no interest in inspecting the goods and directly contacted a truck.

Moreover, she didn't see the need to check it, since it wasn't her "goods" to begin with; she was taking it to auction on behalf of "One-Eyed Owl".

Even if this "lady" checked, Uchiha Byakuya's quinque briefcase was not in the box.

Instead, it was in his divine power space.

As for Arima Kishou, he only carried a short-bladed quinque with him, without putting it in a suitcase.

"Then it's a pleasure to work with you!"

After saying that, Yoshimura Eto skipped away.

From the time she helped Uchiha Byakuya contact "Madam" until now, it has only taken her less than half an hour. Now she should go home to be with Kurumi.

Uchiha Byakuya and Arima Kishou pretended to be dead in the box. When the time came, they were taken to the auction site by a truck.

You could tell that someone had carried them from the truck into the auction house, piled them up in one place, and was waiting to be auctioned off.

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

Night falls.

The auction is about to officially begin.

This is a magnificent auction venue with three floors. The surrounding area is filled with guest seats, and the auction stage in the center is where the host and auctioneer are located.

There were roughly a few hundred to a thousand seats in the entire venue, but there were definitely not that many upper-class ghouls participating in the auction. A considerable number of the seats were occupied by the upper-class ghouls' bodyguards or ghouls who came to watch the spectacle.

Now, a large number of ghouls have begun to flood into the auction venue and take their seats in the designated areas.

"Have you seen the catalog for today's auction? The lineup of 'auction items' is quite interesting."

"I heard there are two CCG 'white doves' in the catalog, and one of them is even a quasi-special-level. I'm really curious which big shot got them."

"A prospective Special Investigator? That's incredibly interesting! I absolutely have to take a picture of this guy and keep him as my 'pet'!"

“We’ll be competitors then, so I’ve prepared plenty of funds today.”

"Don't be in such a hurry. There might be some special 'auction items' that aren't on the catalog. It would be bad if we ran out of money."

"..."

Even before the auction officially began, the ghouls were already discussing it quite enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, in a hidden spot outside the auction house, the investigators participating in the "auction operation" were already ready.

They were waiting for a signal from Uchiha or Arima Juntoku, and once they received the signal, they would immediately storm into the auction.

Everyone was quite tense because they knew that the ghouls at the auction were not ordinary ghouls.

But even when you're nervous, you must stay calm and not falter at crucial moments.

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

As time slowly passed.

The auction items are about to be brought out one by one.

The boxes containing the "auction items" were opened backstage at the auction house.

When it was Byakuya Uchiha and Kishou Arima's turn, the ghoul in charge of opening the boxes didn't pay any attention to them.

Because in the eyes of ghouls, any investigator who has lost their Quinque is no different from an ordinary human in terms of strength, even if they are a quasi-Special Class Investigator.

They weren't even tied to anything; they were treated with utter contempt.

"..."

Uchiha Byakuya and Arima Kishou remained silent, simply waiting for their turn to appear.

Meanwhile, the auction at the front desk has already begun.

A middle-aged woman, who was overweight, wore sunglasses and braces, sat in the center of the auction room.

She is the chief figure in "Madam," named "Big Madam," also known as "The First Lady."

"I can't wait! Will there be a beautiful and adorable baby?"

The First Madam opened her mouth wide, revealing her ugly teeth, and chuckled, "My cute little pet, Mommy's waiting for you~"

At this point, the host and auctioneer appeared.

In the original work, the auctioneer and auctioneer are members of the "Clowns," who are actually Hoshiro Ma and Uta.

However, Hoshino Roma has now been assigned to the "Antei Ward" by Uchiha Byakuya, and Uta is probably also in the "Antei Ward," so naturally neither of them has the time to host this auction.

Today's host and auctioneer are just two ordinary upper-class ghouls.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Although there are all kinds of auctions throughout Japan every year, auctions like ours, where people bid for 'humans,' are a unique high-class event in our ghoul world."

"Although the auction house has not yet been discovered by 'White Dove', please be careful not to bump into 'White Dove' when you leave."

"Now, please enjoy this delightful evening!"

The host has finished his opening remarks.

A round of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted from all around.

After the applause subsided, the host continued, "Now, let me introduce the first 'product' to everyone. Let me see... Although he's not very good-looking, he's actually a locally well-known singer."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the first "item" was forcibly removed by the auctioneer, seemingly because the buyer was uncooperative.

"Quick! Let me go back! Where am I?!"

The singer looked panicked, his face covered in cold sweat.

He didn't know how, but it was as if he had suddenly found himself in this unfamiliar place after waking up.

"The starting bid is 500 million yen. Distinguished guests who are interested in bidding, please raise your paddles and make your bids!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, ghouls immediately started bidding.

"520 million!"

"560 million!"

"650 million!"

"..."

Ultimately, the transaction price was settled at 1050 million.

"Next up, please welcome the next 'item'... Hmm? It's a CCG 'White Dove,' and the description says he's a super handsome guy. Well then, please enjoy the view!"

P.S.: Requesting free gifts~

Chapter 112 Suzuya Juzo

"What?! Why? What's going on?!"

The singer hadn't yet realized the situation he was in.

The auctioneer, annoyed by his excessive talking, escorted him backstage.

The auctioned items will be delivered only after the auction concludes.

Then, the next "auction item" appeared.

Uchiha Byakuya appeared unarmed before the ghouls, wearing his usual black trench coat and a "White Dove" badge.

"Oh? She does look quite good, and her figure is pretty good too. Plus, she's CCG's 'White Dove.' Such a good pet is mine!"

"This guy seems pretty calm. He's probably not an ordinary 'white dove.' It's amazing that someone could get such a high-quality 'product.'"
