Tokyo Ghoul: Starting from the Double Kamuy

"Okay, I'll show you the annotated manuscript first."

In addition to the original chair in front of the computer desk, Uchiha Baiye pulled another chair to the side, naturally for Fangcun Att to sit on.

Afterwards, Uchiha Byakuya showed Yoshimura At one by one the annotated places.

Sitting on the chair, due to Fangcun Aite's petite figure, her feet cannot touch the ground when she sits normally.

The pair of small feet seemed to sway back and forth subconsciously.

Next, Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Et discussed for two and a half hours and preliminarily determined some of the modifications.

As it was already quite late, Uchiha Byakuya closed the manuscript even though the discussion was not yet finished.

"It's already ten o'clock. Let's stop here for today and continue tomorrow or some other time."

Uchiha Baiye said: "But it's already so late, how about I take Mr. Takatsuki back?"

Although he knew very well that with Fangcun Et's strength, he didn't need anyone to send him off, but he had to be an ordinary human editor after all, so it was completely logical for him to care about the authors he signed.

Anyway, Fangcun At will definitely refuse later, so he just said it for show.

However, what Uchiha Baiye didn't expect was that Fangcun Et actually agreed directly, "Okay..."

"Let's go then."

Uchiha Byakuya was still able to maintain a calm expression and tone so as to avoid being noticed by Yoshimura.

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

At this time, there are fewer pedestrians on the street, and even fewer people dare to walk in the alleys.

There are too many ghouls infiltrating human society because everyone is afraid of being preyed upon by ghouls that may appear at any time.

It is true that some ghouls are relatively friendly, but most of them still have strong hostility towards humans and simply treat humans as food.

At this time, Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Et were walking on the street. He did not carry Quinque with him, but in case of any accident, he still had the double Kamui.

Just then, a burly drunkard came towards them from the front. He was so drunk that he couldn't even walk steadily.

As soon as the drunk saw Fangcun Eite, he coveted her beauty, "Little sister...hiccup! Accompany uncle and I to have a few drinks!"

"sure."

Fangcun Eite agreed without hesitation, and said to Uchiha Baiye: "Mr. Uchiha, thank you for sending me here. I have something to do next and I will leave first."

To put it bluntly, Fangcun At had already regarded this drunkard as a target for prey.

"Hey hey hey..."

The drunkard immediately let out a greedy and smelly perverted laugh.

A hint of disgust flashed across Fangcun Et's eyes, with a sinister murderous intent hidden in the deepest part.

Of course Uchiha Byakuya could see what Yoshimura At wanted to do, and he couldn't just sit back and watch.

"Boom!"

Uchiha Byakuya punched the drunk directly, knocking out one of his front teeth, and then hit the drunk with a knee in the abdomen.

The drunk man suddenly fell to the ground with a look of pain on his face, curled up, and vomited out the food he had eaten in the evening mixed with blood foam in his mouth.

Then Uchiha Byakuya didn't even look at the drunk man, he grabbed Fangcun Et's wrist and left.

With Yoshimura Eto's petite body, she was naturally easily pulled away by Uchiha Byakuya.

Fangcun Et was suddenly a little surprised. What was this human doing?

ps: The contract for 20,000 words has been signed, and the gift function has been unlocked. I can start the old tradition of asking for a wave of free gifts to "generate power with love"~

Chapter 11 “ATM”

Only after walking away did Uchiha Baiye stop.

At the same time, he also released Fangcun Et's wrist.

"Why did you just...?"

At this time, Fangcun Et couldn't help but ask Uchiha Baiye.

"Do I even need to ask why? I'm your editor-in-chief. How can I watch you do something that doesn't take care of your body? If you're really short of money, I'll try my best to help you with the money."

Uchiha Baiye reacted quickly, he had already thought of a reason.

"..."

Fangcun At was silent for a moment, "I understand. Then I would like to ask you to give me another 10,000 yen."

She was not after the money just now, but wanted to lure the disgusting drunkard to a deserted place and kill and eat him.

The ghoul wants to rely on human flesh to maintain her strength, and it can also speed up her recovery from injuries. Her fatal injury to her kagune is still a big problem until now.

But now her plan had been ruined by Uchiha Byakuya, so she could only ask for funds.

But... she didn't know how long it had been since she had been cared for so much, and this feeling wasn't bad...

"...Huh? I just gave you 10,000 yesterday. Are you asking for another 10,000 so soon?"

Uchiha Baiye said in surprise.

"Well, I accidentally spent a little too much."

Fangcun At said confidently: "If you don't want to, don't bother me. I'll go back to find that uncle."

"Then it's better to say goodbye."

Uchiha Byakuya then gave Yoshimura At a 10,000 yen note.

After receiving the 10,000 yen, Yoshimura Eto revealed an imperceptible malicious smile on his face.

She suddenly felt like she had found a "cash machine".

But she would also be careful to avoid scaring people away in a few days.

Fangcun Aite did not hold out much hope of making money through publishing and sales.

At least the initial funding for "Bronze Tree" has been secured.

At the same time, Uchiha Byakuya didn't know that Yoshimura Eto had already treated him as a "cash machine".

But he didn't care about this little money. The monthly salary of a CCG second-class investigator was normally over 400,000 yen, and there were additional commissions for completing missions.

After all, CCG investigators are civil servants in Japan and their jobs are very dangerous, so the overall salary level must be higher.

Compared to money, he cares more about strength. A capable ghoul investigator never has to worry about money.

"We are almost there, Mr. Uchiha, please take me there."

At this time, Fangcun Et said.

There is actually still some distance from here to her organization's base, but she certainly won't let the other party follow her to her base.

"Well, goodbye, Mr. Takatsuki."

Uchiha Baiye nodded slightly.

"goodbye..."

Fangcun Ate responded softly.

【...】

In the next few days, Uchiha Byakuya worked normally at Xiangyingsha, and discussed and revised the manuscript with Fangcun Aite at home.

The first version of "To Kafka" has been preliminarily refined.

Including the refinement of the first version, Yoshimura At was also completed through Uchiha Byakuya's home computer.

The reason why it is called the "first edition" is because it is normal for a work to be refined several times or even dozens of times.

Of course, this all depends on the author's personal wishes, not the editor's coercion.

Editors who force authors to refine or revise their work after the contract has been signed are often not very reliable.

However, Uchiha Byakuya's administrative leave is about to end.

He received psychological counseling three times in the past few days, and no psychological problems were found. After it was confirmed that there was no problem, his administrative leave was shortened.

But he had no objection to this. It was just what he wanted. After all, he didn't want to be idle all the time.

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

Tonight, Yoshimura Eto came to Uchiha Byakuya's house as usual.

Now there is no need for Uchiha Baiye to call first, after dinner, Fangcun At will come to the door on his own initiative.

They are preparing a refined second edition.

Every refined version will be backed up, including the original manuscript.

Although one of the main reasons why Yoshimura Et contacted Uchiha Byakuya was to obtain funding, she also attaches great importance to her work.

She enjoys the creative process.

Therefore, she was also very interested in the discussions and refinement of Uchiha Byakuya's works.

It seemed like in the blink of an eye, it was already late at night and almost ten o'clock.

Fangcun Aite was also ready to go back.

But before leaving, Fangcun At suddenly asked Uchiha Baiye: "By the way...Mr. Uchiha, after reading my article, do you have any detailed thoughts?"

"You want me to express my feelings..."

Uchiha Baiye recalled for a moment, "The writing is very good. Although there are many poetic descriptions, it doesn't make people feel boring."

“But behind the article, one can vaguely sense inexplicable sadness, resentment, emptiness, loneliness, and other dark emotions.”

"The protagonist feels hopeless about everything and has no expectations or trust in anyone. Although he sometimes has new companions, he ends up alone again in the end..."

Thanks to the basic ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Byakuya can remember everything he reads.

And one can also more keenly perceive the core and profound meaning contained therein.

"...You're right, this work of mine is pretty much like that."

Fangcun Aite was immediately surprised that this person had studied her article so thoroughly...

No wonder this person seems to have become an editor at such a young age, he can be no more than 20 years old, it seems that he is very talented in editing.

Unlike other editors who are mostly middle-aged men and women, this one is at least in his twenties or thirties.

"It's unbelievable. I remember that Mr. Takatsuki was only 18 years old, but he was able to create works in this style. It's as if he had many extremely dark experiences..."

Uchiha Baiye sighed.

In fact, he knew that Fangcun Aite grew up in the most chaotic District 24.

You should know that District 24 is the only area without a CCG headquarters or branch.

In this lawless place where the strong prey on the weak, if you want to survive you must become stronger, and the fastest way to become stronger is to constantly engage in "co-eating".

The so-called "co-eating" means that ghouls eat each other.

Therefore, Fangcun Eto was already a master at such a young age, and even the notorious SSS-level "One-eyed Owl".

The cruel and tragic experiences that Fangcun Aite has endured in District 24 over the past decade are hard for ordinary people to imagine.

Chapter 12 Area 24

"Is it that exaggerated? Maybe I am more talented in this area?"

Fangcun At naturally glossed over this topic.

Her work is certainly influenced by her own experiences, but she certainly can’t let people know about them.

"That's right, Mr. Takatsuki is indeed a genius."
