Tokyo Ghoul: Starting from the Double Kamuy

Fangcun At once again felt the other party's sincerity.

Her trust in Uchiha Byakuya suddenly increased a little.

"I'll leave it to you for safekeeping."

Fangcun Et immediately replied.

"Ok."

Uchiha Baiye nodded slightly and put the manuscript back into his bag.

Afterwards, he set off to return to Xiangying Society, and Fangcun Aite followed him silently.

On the surface, she looks so well-behaved and cute. No one could possibly associate her with the extremely brutal SSS-class ghoul “One-eyed Owl”.

Only Uchiha Baiye, a time traveler, could know everything.

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

Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto returned to Shoeisha together.

When Uchiha Byakuya entered the office and was about to take the contract to sign with Yoshimura At, Shiono Shunji who was standing by immediately noticed his behavior.

"Uchiha-san, have you already chosen a writer you want to collaborate with?"

Shunji Shiono asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, she's the writer of the manuscript that Shiono-senpai just gave me. I think she has great potential."

Uchiha Byakuya replied.

"oh oh......"

Shiono Shunji didn't react at first, "Huh?! Are you serious? That's a junior high school student, and the number of contract places you can sign during your internship is limited. If you want to pass the internship assessment, you can't be careless about every place."

In fact, this was just good-intentioned advice. From his point of view, this would only waste a place for Uchiha Byakuya. If it caused the publishing house to suffer serious losses, Uchiha Byakuya's internship would be ruined.

However, Shunji Shiono didn't know that Yoshimura Eto was waiting outside the office.

Of course, she also heard the conversation between Uchiha Byakuya and Shiono Shunji.

She still felt helpless about the short-sighted editor's attitude towards the manuscript she wrote, but something he said made her take it seriously.

It seems that my manuscript will affect the future of that new editor...

"I know, thank you for your advice, Senior Shiono, but I still trust my feelings."

Uchiha Baiye said in a firm tone.

"...Okay, then you do your best."

Faced with such a stubborn Uchiha Byakuya, Shiono Shunji felt that there was no need to say anything more.

After all, he's a newcomer, so it's normal.

Who hasn’t been full of vigor and vitality when they were young?

Once you are tortured by reality many times, you will naturally understand everything.

But...how old is Uchiha-san?

Shunji Shiono suddenly remembered that the other person seemed to be only eighteen years old, which was quite young for a profession like editor. He must be a rare genius, but he was still too young.

Uchiha Byakuya prepared the contract and left the office to find a place to sign the contract with Yoshimura At.

At this time, Uchiha Baiye and Yoshimura Eto were sitting face to face, and he handed the contract to Yoshimura Eto.

"Please review the details of this contract first."

Uchiha Byakuya began the signing process.

"OK..."

Fangcun Aite then looked through the contents of the contract.

When she saw the contract contents from the publishing house for the first time, she felt quite fresh about it.

But as he watched...a subtle change occurred on Fangcun Et's face.

Because she just found out that the publishing cost has to be shared by the publisher and the author, and she only has two coins on her...

Of course, this is a common ordinary agreement, and there is no need to mention the special agreement.

Or the writer publishes the book at his own expense without cooperating with a publishing house.

Co-publishing and self-publishing are the most common ways, but Fangcun Aite has never specifically learned about this aspect. Before this, she just wanted to exchange some money for the manuscripts she wrote.

"If you have any doubts, feel free to speak up."

The Mangekyō Sharingan gave Uchiha Byakuya great insight, and he easily noticed the subtle changes in Yoshimura Et's facial expression, so he also spoke up.

"The contract states that we have to share the publishing costs, but I don't have any money..."

Fangcun At directly stated the biggest problem he was facing.

"I don't have any money..."

Uchiha Baiye pretended to be thoughtful for a while, "It's not a big problem, I can provide you with the publishing fee privately."

Fangcun At was a little surprised that the other party was willing to help her to this extent.

Originally, she pretended not to know that her manuscript might affect the other party's future, because she was eager to make money from the manuscript.

But this time, the other party's sincerity and kindness made her attitude waver.

"Thank you...but is it okay? I just heard what that person said. If you mess up, your job will be in jeopardy, right?"

"It's okay. I have great confidence in your manuscript and your potential. I also believe in my own judgment."

Uchiha Byakuya spoke to Yoshimura Et in a confident tone.

He was of course well aware of Fangcun Aite's talent and believed that he would become a first-class writer in the future.

And no matter what, even if he lost the job, he just wanted to get the attribute points as the mission reward.

What's more, his real identity is working for CCG, and he infiltrated Shoeisha just to investigate a certain ghoul. He was placed in Shoeisha by CCG through special means, so it is impossible for him to be expelled until the mission assigned to him by CCG is completed.

"Ok, I see."

The other party said it was okay, so Fangcun At didn't think about it anymore.

There was absolutely no reason for her not to sign the contract.

After a while, the contract was signed.

Uchiha Byakuya then extended his right hand towards Fangcun Et.

"Ms. Fangcun, please give me your guidance in the future."

Chapter 5: Hezi, Hezhe

"Um......"

Yoshimura Eto stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Uchiha Byakuya.

After a brief moment, he let go.

What Uchiha Baiye felt was a soft and cold little hand, but this cute little girl who looked so fragile was the "One-eyed Owl" with the highest threat level.

When ghouls are not fighting, they look almost the same as normal humans, so as long as they are careful they can integrate well into human society.

But when fighting, not only will the eyes turn into red eyes, but the exclusive organ "He Bao" will also release predatory organs "He Zi" formed by a large number of RC cells.

The lethality and defense of the kagune are very strong, and there are four types of kagune, namely, feather kagune, armor kagune, scale kagune and tail kagune. Each has its own characteristics and there is a restraint relationship between them.

This is the shape of the kagune in the original work by Yoshimura Eto.

Then there is another form of ghoul that is superior to ordinary ghouls, called "Kakusha".

There are multiple "Kagumaki" in the body, and the whole body is covered with "Kagumiko", which is a "Kagumizer". These extremely powerful Kagumizers evolved by eating their own kind, that is, ghouls eat ghouls...

The Yoshimura Eto in front of Uchiha Byakuya at this moment is the Hezer, who once ate a large number of ghouls in order to survive in the most chaotic District 24, because in that kind of place, if you don't kill your own kind, you will be killed by your own kind.

The body size of a ghoul who transforms into a Hekuja will become extremely large. Normally, Yoshimura Ate, who is only 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall, will be at least 3 or 4 meters tall after transforming into a Hekuja. And as his strength grows, his body size will get larger and larger.

This is why, despite Yoshimura Eto's repeated attacks on CCG members, CCG branches, and ghoul shelters, she never revealed her true identity. Her Heger form is too different from her usual appearance.

Fangcun Aite's early Hezhe form

(ps: This picture is the Heger form ten years ago in the original work by Yoshimura Eto, which is the timeline where Uchiha Byakuya is located.)

[Ding! The host successfully completed "Task 10: Become the Editor-in-Chief of Fangcun Aite" and received the reward: attribute points! ]

[Task 1 has been completed, activate Task 2! ]

[Task 2: "To Kafka" was successfully published and sold]

[Task time limit: within half a year]

[Task Reward: 50 Attribute Points]

At this time, Uchiha Baiye received a reminder from the system. He not only obtained the reward for task one, but also activated task two.

He suddenly felt that the task process of Fangcun At should be quite long, such as the sales after publication, the publication of the second work, the publication of the third work... these can all be used as the next task goals.

Although Uchiha Byakuya's career as a publishing house editor may not last long, he just needs to get the attribute points he deserves right now.

As for the half-year deadline, it is actually a normal time for publishing a book.

Because there are many procedures to go through, unlike online articles where you can submit your manuscripts online or publish books directly, if everything goes well, the contract can be signed and you can start generating income in a few days or even on the same day.

Of course, this does not mean that Uchiha Baiye has to spend half a year on this task. He can also find ways to trigger other hidden tasks at the same time.

"By the way...I can't get the money right now, right?"

At this time, Fangcun Eite suddenly asked.

Although she was happy to have signed the publishing agreement, she was in urgent need of money...

"That's true. It will only start to generate revenue after it is published and sold. If Miss Fangcun is in financial difficulty, I can also provide you with some financial assistance."

Uchiha Baiye said.

"Really? Thanks a lot."

Fangcun Aite nodded.

It's rare for her to meet such a kind-hearted human being.

If I have to say, Uchiha Byakuya was probably half well-intentioned, and the other half was for himself.

If he doesn't provide help to Fangcun At, it will be difficult for him to complete the task and gain attribute points.

"Do you have a computer? If possible, please give me an electronic version, so that I can revise the full text before it is officially published."

Uchiha Baiye asked.

"I don't have a computer...or even a home..."

Yoshimura Eto replied.

Uchiha Baiye certainly knew that Yoshimura Eto had neither a home nor a computer, but now he could only pretend to be an ordinary human editor in front of Yoshimura Eto.

"Okay, then I'll take you to the printing shop to make an electronic version of the entire manuscript. If you want to revise it, you can use my computer at home to revise it."

Uchiha Byakuya suggested.

In the future, if Fangcun wants to refine the manuscript, he will only have three options: the computer in the Internet cafe, the computer in the office, and the computer in Uchiha Baiye's home.

Going to an Internet cafe is a waste of money, and the office computers cannot be allowed to be used by outsiders, so there is only the third option.

"Okay, please."

Fangcun At naturally had no objection.

She didn't sense any strange intentions from the other party.

Even if that happened, her strength and status as a ghoul would be enough to give her an extra meal.

"Let's go to the printing shop first."
