I'm just an internet cafe owner

"You eat like this every day, you're such a foodie, be careful not to get fat."

Thinking about this, he came up with a good name. He found a piece of paper, neatly wrote the four characters "Tokyo Foodie" on it, then took out some tape, slapped it against the window, and that was it.

Once the table is set up, the room is cleaned, and a few pots are placed there as a formality, the shop is considered ready.

"Hmm, not bad, we can use the remaining money to buy some ingredients from the boss."

As Kaneki Ken thought this, he had already taken out two pig trotters and a basin of water, ready to start cooking.

Based on his experience, ghouls are extremely insensitive to the aroma of normal food, and normal food can even make them feel nauseous. However, the food provided in internet cafes is prepared differently; it works fine for humans, and it works fine for ghouls too.

Perhaps because ghouls have never eaten normal food, they become so tempted by the smell that they can't move.

This is just speculation; whether it will work remains to be seen through experimentation.

Without thinking much, he took the pot to the doorway and started boiling water. He threw in the pig's trotters and the internet cafe's special spices.

After blanching, the aroma gradually rose, attracting no attention from the ghouls, but it was Kaneki Ken who was already craving it.

Chapter 355 Kaneki Ken: "This food wasn't poisoned" (Bonus Chapter)

"Wow! Ah! It smells so good! No wonder the ingredients were provided by the boss, even with just a little bit of spices, it smells so good."

To avoid any accidents, the spices used were also the special version supplied by Liu Yuan.

"How about we have one?"

Kaneki Ken watched the pig's trotters in the pot gradually soften and swallowed unconsciously.

It smells amazing! It smells so good.

If I don't eat one, I'll feel bad for all the hard work I've put in today.

So he picked up a piece of pig's trotter and prepared to start eating it.

Because his shop was located in an alley, even Kirishima Touka, who was working next door, couldn't pinpoint the exact location despite smelling the aroma. She simply assumed someone had died behind her and prepared to go check it out.

After all, the only thing that can make ghouls smell delicious is human flesh.

Compared to her, a girl who was "passing by" stopped in her tracks upon smelling the fragrance.

"Humans? No, not humans, this is... the smell of spices?"

Her name is Takatsuki Sen, a writer and also a one-eyed ghoul. She had her own special purpose in passing by, but when she smelled this fragrance, she subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

Because she writes novels, she understands the taste of spices and is very familiar with it.

But the smell is just too good.

To an ordinary person, it might just be a passing scent, but to a ghoul, it's a deadly temptation. Ordinary ghouls simply cannot resist this aroma.

Takatsuki Sen decided to abandon her original purpose and go inside to take a look for the time being.

As she walked into the alley and smelled the increasingly enticing aroma, she felt as if every cell in her body was out of control, and even her kagune seemed to have an uncontrollable urge at this moment.

Fortunately, it was just an impulse, not a real loss of control.

"It smells so good, it really smells so good, I really want to try it."

Following the aroma, I went inside and saw a scene that left her expression frozen. In front of a shop so shabby it could be drawn by a child, a dark-haired man was sitting in front of a pot, gnawing on a pig's trotter?

Then look at the source of the aroma, and it turns out to be pig's trotters?

In that instant, Takatsuki Sen wondered if she had gone mad or if the world had gone mad. She was a ghoul, and she could smell the aroma of pig's trotters and even want to take a bite?

Normally, if she saw this scene of human flesh being cooked, she would turn around and leave. But for some reason, looking at the pig's trotters in the pot that were starting to soften, she swallowed hard.

"Excuse me…"

"Fifty thousand each, no bargaining."

"... "

Takatsuki Izumi remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Um, could you make it a little cheaper? This price is a little bit high!"

Kaneki Ken looked up and felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at the woman in front of him.

"Wait? Are you Ms. Takatsuki Sen?"

"It's me!"

"I…"

Kaneki Ken was about to say that he was a fan of the other person, but then he realized something important: the person who was attracted by this fragrance might not be human.

So he immediately changed his tune, saying, "I'm your fan, I'll give you a fan price, 49,999 yen."

This is from Jinmu Research School Liu Yuan; the food at the internet cafe is all fixed price.

Twenty yen. Kaneki Ken figured he had to make money too. Considering online spending, he decided to price each dish at fifty thousand yen.

Saving 1 yen is a huge loss for me!

Rounding up 24,000, it's 100 million! Ouch! It hurts so much!

Thinking about all this, Kaneki Ken felt a sharp pain in his chest that made it hard to breathe.

"... "

Takatsuki Sen fell silent, but the aroma was too enticing.

"Two hundred thousand, give me one without lowering the price."

"Okay, since you're the first customer, I promise you that no matter how many customers there are in the future, I'll always save a separate portion for you."

Upon hearing this, Takatsuki Sen raised the corners of her mouth and asked curiously, "Are you trying to curry favor?"

"Yes, because your novels are very good and profitable, and you can afford to spend money here. Come on, why don't you give it a try?"

Kaneki Ken politely took out a chopstick used for frying dough sticks and forcefully pierced the entire pig's trotter.

"Isn't there... any other way to eat it?"

"There are plates and chopsticks."

Kaneki Ken brought a set of tables and chairs from the room, placed them on top, put the pig's trotter stuck in the chopsticks, and then added another pair of chopsticks.

Although the whole process was rough, Takatsuki Sen found that both the table and the tableware were surprisingly clean. It's just that Kaneki Ken's way of eating... was a little rough.

Cleanliness is a given; Kaneki Ken spent a fortune buying a dishwasher from Kai. It washes lunch ingredients in three minutes and can fit up to twenty place settings.

Looking at the pig's trotters in front of her, Takatsuki Izumi's heart raced. But just then, another person arrived.

It was Touka Kirishima from Antique Coffee. Following the scent, she walked over and immediately saw Izumi Takatsuki and a big jerk.

Her gaze fell on the pig's trotters. Was this aroma really from a normal food?

And look at the name of this restaurant, Tokyo Foodie, how corny!

No normal person would eat here, yet there's a beautiful woman here? But this food smells amazing. But I'm a ghoul, is this food even safe to eat?

Upon seeing who it was, Takatsuki Sen smiled.

"Young lady, would you like to try some? The food here smells delicious."

Because Kaneki Ken had her back to her, her blood-red eyes were visible when she said those words. This indicated that the other person was… a ghoul.

However, a terrifying scene unfolded. Kirishima Touka saw Takatsuki Sen smiling as she picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The instant the meat entered her mouth, her body froze.

Seeing this, Touka Kirishima sighed, "Yeah, how could this kind of food possibly taste good..."

Just as she was about to leave, Kaneki Ken sat on the stool and counted down: "Three, two, one."

As the countdown ended, Takatsuki Sen seemed to be playing along, getting all excited.

"So delicious! So great!"

Her legs were tightly closed, and her body was twisting and turning. Because it felt so good, he grabbed Kaneki Ken and squeezed him hard, but considering that Kaneki Ken was a person, she didn't dare to use too much force.

She clung to Kaneki Ken like a woman in heat, her kagune almost bursting at that moment. But she held back; she held back her kagune, but the delicious food brought her overwhelming pleasure that she couldn't resist.

At that moment, she seemed to see a castle, fireworks, and what appeared to be a beautiful love. She saw all the wonderful things in the world, and she felt as if she were melting.

She peed.

But when she sensed Touka Kirishima's gaze, her eyes turned fierce.

"roll!"

A terrifying aura erupted instantly, and Kaneki Ken took out a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hey, student, if you want to eat, I can cook for you. I have some more."

"No! It's mine, it's mine."

Kaneki Ken turned to look at Takatsuki Sen, and in that instant, Takatsuki Sen felt as if she were being stared at by a ferocious beast. It was strange; despite being so powerful, she felt so weak in front of Kaneki Ken.

Kaneki Ken calmly replied, "Our shop's rule is that we don't sell a second serving until it's finished."

However, as he uttered those words, Takatsuki Sen abandoned all etiquette and began to gnaw on the pig's trotter.

Where's Kirishima Touka? She's been staring blankly the whole time. A ghoul...getting carried away eating pig's trotters?

Chapter 356 It really is legitimate food! No drugs added!!! (Bonus Chapter)

Kaneki Ken knew that the food made from the ingredients Liu Yuan provided was edible for ghouls, but he never imagined that ghouls could eat this. Was this still the beautiful girl from before? Was this still the Takatsuki Sen-sensei he used to admire? Was this still the famous author?

What... has she gone mad?

He also asked Liu Yuan about this issue via TT.

Liu Yuan's reply was...

"Because they've never eaten normal food before, the human body is just like that, it only tastes good because of bodily needs. They've never eaten it before, and every time they try it, it's so disgusting that it makes their souls tremble. That's why they might lose their composure when they eat normal food for the first time. But what our shop provides are special ingredients that can satisfy their bodily needs. Their appetites have been suppressed for too long, and when their desires explode, other desires also become aroused. That's probably it."

Upon receiving this reply, Kaneki Ken's expression completely vanished.

Looking back, only the bones of a pig's trotter remained, and even the bones had been chewed up.

Broken.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

For ghouls, eating a few times a month is enough to sustain them for a month, but even after eating pig's trotters, Takatsuki Sen still felt it wasn't enough. Her stomach was already full, but her body still wanted more.

Seeing this reaction, Kirishima Touka took three steps back, and she even suspected that Kaneki Ken had drugged her.
