Studying biochemistry in anime is definitely a mistake

"Touka!"

The store manager suddenly came down the stairs:

"Can you please take Kaneki Ken to make a mask tomorrow?"

"Huh? Why would I take this guy with me?"

Kirishima Touka suddenly complained somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"If you let Kaneki Ken go alone, there's a good chance he'll get lost."

The store manager made a reasonable guess.

"That's true, but he doesn't need a mask, right?"

"In fact, I heard something from Shikata Renji. He said that District 20 transferred two investigators from the headquarters. Considering this situation, I hope he can get his mask as soon as possible."

"I see!"

Kirishima Touka turned to look at Kaneki Ken:

"Tomorrow we are going to District 4, Shinjuku, to the HySyArtMask Studio, a custom-made mask shop! At 2:30 tomorrow, we will meet in front of the Nanten Building, the headquarters of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, Shinjuku's landmark building."

[HySyArtMask Studio] is a mask customization shop. It is also the mask customization shop where Nan Tianren went to customize a human skin mask a few months ago when he used the degraded version of the super soldier serum to transform himself into a red skull.

"Kaneki!"

A big-nosed antique coffee shop waiter suddenly shouted at Kaneki Ken:

"Can you help me go up to the second floor and bring down a bag of coffee? The one with the red label."

"Okay, Mr. Furuma-kun."

Kaneki Ken went up to the second floor and pushed open the door of the room where the coffee beans were stored.

In the room, Fueguchi Hinami was eating human flesh.

"what!!!"

Seeing the bloody scene in front of him, Kaneki Ken screamed, then fell to the ground limply, then grabbed the door handle and stood up again:

"Hina...Hina, you're here. Sorry, I didn't know... Please enjoy your meal..."

"Excuse me, big brother, which side are you on?"

Fueguchi Hinami asked the flustered Kaneki Ken:

"Your scent is different from others. If you were one of our kind, I should be able to detect it immediately no matter how far away you are."

"I was originally just an ordinary human, but something happened and a ghoul's organ was implanted in my body. Now I can't eat normal food."

After Kaneki Ken calmed down, he immediately explained.

"You were originally human? Sorry! I asked a strange question..."

Hinami Fueguchi lowered her head shyly.

"Don't worry about it. I shouldn't have come in without knocking..."

Kaneki Ken then noticed the short story collection of Takatsuki Izumi, "The Black and White Painting of the Rainbow", next to Fueguchi Hinami:

"Do you like Takatsuki Izumi's books, too? Her works are all very obscure and difficult to understand. You are amazing. Which story do you like?"

"That...Xiao Ye Shiyu..."

Hinami Fueguchi, who had never been to school, made two typos.

"It's Sayoya Shigure. That's the prototype of the Black Goat Egg."

Kaneki Ken then corrected Fuekou Hinami's pronunciation.

"Excuse me, how do you read this?"

Hinami Fueguchi opened "The Black and White Painting of Rainbow" and pointed at the three words "Hydrangea" and asked Kaneki Ken.

"It's pronounced 'hydrangea', which is the name of the flower."

Kaneki Ken patiently explained to Fueguchi Hinami.

"Hydrangea...Hydrangea...Hydrangea..."

Fueguchi Hinami repeated the three words "Hydrangea" over and over again in her mind, and wrote them down in her notebook.

"It's really amazing. It's very well written."

"Because I never went to school, I wrote down everything I learned here. My mother asked me to do this."

"How about I teach you to read occasionally?"

Kaneki Ken suggested as he looked at Fueguchi Hinami who was studying seriously.

"Really? Big brother! Thank you!"

Fueguchi Hinami was so happy that she danced with joy.

"Hina, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Fueguchi Ryoko suddenly walked into the room.

"Mom, listen to me, Kaneki Ken-nii taught me how to read today!"

Hinami Fueguchi happily jumped into her mother's arms.

"This child is causing you trouble."

Fueguchi Ryoko bowed to Kaneki Ken to express her gratitude.

"No, I'm happy too."

Kaneki Ken also responded to Fueguchi Ryoko.

"Thank you, Kaneki Ken-nii. Please teach me again next time you have the chance!"

After saying goodbye to everyone in the Antique Coffee Shop, Dikou and her daughter immediately set out on their journey home.

"Mom, I memorized all the Chinese characters in this book!"

Hinami Fueguchi held up "Black and White Painting of Rainbow" and proudly showed it off to her mother.

"Really? Then you really work hard!"

Fueguchi Ryoko touched her daughter's head and praised her.

"So, Mom, I want to buy a new book. I want to remember more words and then surprise Dad! Dad's birthday will be coming soon, and I want to buy him a book!"

Fueguchi Hinami begged while holding her mother's hand.

"In that case, let's go to the bookstore."

Ryoko Fueguchi held her daughter's hand, changed her route, and headed towards the bookstore.

"It's Dad!"

The two had only walked a few steps when Fueguchi Hinami suddenly smelled her father's scent:

"Mom! Dad is nearby! He must be here to pick us up!"

Fueguchi Hinaji said this as she broke free from her mother's hands and ran straight into an alley.

"Hina! Wait!"

Fueguchi Ryoko quickly caught up with her daughter.

However, when Fueguchi Hinami rushed into the alley, she did not see her father at all. There was only a blonde with a slicked-back hair wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses standing at the end of the alley.

The scent of her father that Fueguchi Hina smelled was coming from the man in front of her.

"You...are not...father..."

Looking at the strange man in front of her, an extremely strong sense of uneasiness suddenly arose in Fueguchi Hinami's heart.

Chapter 135 Grassland

"Wait! Hinami! You're running too fast! Mommy can't catch up!"

Fueguchi Ryoko followed closely behind Fueguchi Hinami and walked into the alley.

The man with the blond slicked-back hair then looked up and down Fueguchi Ryoko's body, his eyes finally focusing on the wedding ring on her left ring finger.

"Can I take up a moment of your time, Ms. Fueguchi Ryoko?"

Nan Tianren asked Fuekou Ryoko with ill intention.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fueguchi Ryoko immediately grabbed Fueguchi Hinami's hand and tried to run away.

"We are ghoul investigators! It's dangerous here! Please evacuate immediately!"

While driving away the crowd who were watching the fun, Madoka Wuxu stood across the escape route of Dikou and her daughter.

"Mado Kure! Can you let me take care of these two ghouls? I want to try out my new Quinque - a Quinque made with Fueguchi Asaki's kagune - [Sword of Kallian]!"

Nan Tianren said as he swung out a chain blade from the left and right cuffs of his windbreaker.

[Sword of Kallian] is a pseudo-life weapon created by Nan Tianren by combining the research results of CCG with the technology of Umbrella Pharmaceuticals.

"That's true, Nan Tianren, as long as you are happy, I just want to see what kind of Quinque you made."

Mado Wuxu then pulled out his umbrella-shaped Quinque and blocked the exit of the alley, blocking the retreat of the mother and daughter of Dikou.

"Go! Challenge me! This is the chance I give you!"

Nan Tianren spoke incomprehensible words, placed one hand on his chest, and strode towards Dikou and her daughter.

"mom!"

Hinami Fueguchi hid in her mother's arms in fear.

"Hina!"

Fueguchi Ryoko immediately released four kagune from her lower back, completely wrapping herself and Fueguchi Hinami:

"Go back to the An Ding area first. Don't worry, mom will be back soon."

"No...No! I don't want to be separated from my mother!"

Fueguchi Hinami hugged her mother tightly.

"Chirp Mimi!"
