Tokyo Ghoul: Starting from the Double Kamuy

Page 77

"It has just been distributed to bookstores, and there has been no publicity. It is hard to see the results for now, and it will take some time to settle."

Uchiha Byakuya analyzed.

He wasn't really trying to comfort Fangcun Et, but was simply telling the truth.

"Then let's take a look at it again."

Fangcun At still didn't hold out much hope, "But before that, let's buy a copy and take it back."

She had long planned to take her self-published books to the "An Ting District", and this trip was mainly for this purpose.

But at this moment, Fangcun At found that a little boy stopped in front of the location of "To Kafka", and seemed to be attracted by her work.

She stopped immediately and pulled Uchiha Baiye.

"That child seems to have an idea."

Yoshimura At whispered to Uchiha Byakuya.

"Well, it's Takatsuki-sensei's work after all, so it must be very attractive."

Uchiha Baiye said as if it was a matter of course.

Especially when he saw the boy's face, it seemed more reasonable.

Isn’t this little boy Kaneki Ken?

He has a thin figure, neat black hair, wears ordinary clothes and carries a black schoolbag.

He is probably in primary school and looks only about ten years old.

The reason why it is more reasonable is that in the original work, Kaneki Ken has always liked the works of Takatsuki Izumi.

"Although I feel happy when I'm praised, I also feel like you're pitying me."

Yoshimura Ate couldn't understand why Uchiha Byakuya was so confident in her work, and felt that he was just comforting her.

"But let's not go over there for now. I want to see what happens to that child next."

Fangcun At said something.

Seeing with her own eyes that someone was interested in her work and even wanted to buy it gave her a very novel feeling.

But then, Kaneki Ken looked a little hesitant.

He tried to open "To Kafka" and read it for a while. He found it really interesting and then made up his mind to buy it.

It was only then that Yoshimura At went up to Kaneki Ken and said, "Little boy, do you like this book very much?"

"Eh?!"

Being suddenly addressed by a stranger, the introverted and timid Kaneki Ken was a little scared.

After a while, he nodded hesitantly and said, "Yeah... I like it very much..."

"Yes, kid, you have good taste."

Yoshimura Et said with a smile.

Feeling that the other party had no ill intentions and seemed very friendly, Kaneki Ken was no longer so stiff and reserved.

"Do you...do you like this work too?"

It's rare to have a topic to talk about reading with someone, Kaneki Ken tried to muster up the courage to ask.

Chapter 117 I like Mr. Takatsuki the most

[Ding! The host successfully completed "Task 50: "To Kafka" was successfully published and sold", and received the reward: attribute points! ]

[Task 2 has been completed, activate Task 3]

[Task 3: Help Takatsuki Izumi become somewhat famous]

[Task Reward: 100 Attribute Points]

This new task is not difficult, or rather, the main difficulty lies in the fact that there are many tedious tasks.

For example, holding writer conferences, fan meetings, autograph sessions and other marketing methods can help increase Fangcun At's fame.

Of course, the most important thing is the quality of the work.

So in fact, even if Uchiha Byakuya didn't use those marketing methods, it would only be a matter of time before Yoshimura At became a well-known writer, but using those marketing methods can complete the task faster.

"Yes, we like Mr. Takatsuki's work the best, don't you agree, dear?"

At this time, Yoshimura responded to Kaneki Ken's question.

"Yes, I like Mr. Takatsuki the best."

Uchiha Byakuya said calmly.

Fangcun Atte immediately heard something wrong, and she immediately pinched Uchiha Baiye lightly. This guy was still so frivolous at this time.

However, Kaneki Ken didn't hear anything.

He was quite excited to be able to discuss his favorite book with others.

Afterwards, Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura At had a discussion with Kaneki Ken about "To Kafka".

Ken Kaneki certainly could not have imagined that the two people he was communicating with were, one was the contracted editor of "To Kafka", and the other was the author of "To Kafka" himself.

At this time, Yoshimura Eto was talking to Kaneki Ken, while Uchiha Byakuya was looking at Kaneki Ken and fell into a brief contemplation.

Although I came into contact with Kaneki Ken, I didn't activate any mission.

This is probably because Kaneki Ken is now just an ordinary human being, and Kaneki Ken during this period only has family problems.

Kaneki Ken's beloved mother is indeed very gentle to outsiders and never refuses anyone, but she often beats and scolds Kaneki Ken at home, venting and blaming all her misfortunes and negative emotions on Kaneki Ken.

However, after his mother died from overwork, Kaneki Ken suffered from selective amnesia. He forgot what his mother had done to him and only remembered her gentle side, thus developing a split personality.

So in fact, before being abused by "Gecko/Jason" Ohmori Yakumo, Kaneki Ken already had a split personality.

However, Uchiha Byakuya is not sure whether Kaneki Ken is currently in the period before or after his mother's death, so it is not appropriate for him to interfere in other people's family affairs.

Could it be that he followed Kaneki Ken home? That would be a real pervert...

From now on, I can interact with Kaneki Ken as a book friend.

"Mom, those are the older brother and sister from before."

At this moment, Uchiha Byakuya suddenly heard Kirishima Touka's voice, which immediately interrupted his thoughts.

He looked back and found that it was indeed Kirishima Touka, with her mother Kirishima Kou beside her.

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

Uchiha Baiye suddenly felt that there were too many coincidences today.

I actually met Kaneki Ken and Kirishima Touka at the same time in such a small bookstore.

"Yeah, Touka wants to buy some comics to read, so you guys are probably here to buy books, right?"

Kirishima Kou said with a smile.

"Ah."

Uchiha Baiye nodded.

At this time, Fangcun Eite also turned around and greeted Kirishima Touka, "Little Touka, we meet again."

The topic was suddenly interrupted, and the two people who came were complete strangers, so Kaneki Ken suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Because he felt like an outsider, and it might be a bit inappropriate to continue staying here...

Kaneki Ken has already begun to think about leaving here.

At this time, Uchiha Baiye noticed Kaneki Ken's embarrassment, and he said to Kaneki Ken: "By the way, what's your name?"

"Kaneki Ken..."

Kaneki Ken said quietly.

"Okay, since we both like Mr. Takatsuki's works, we are now friends, or we can also say book friends."

Uchiha Baiye said.

Kaneki Ken immediately showed a look of joy, "Okay!"

Not to mention book friends, he doesn't even have many friends. To be precise, he only has one friend, Nagachika Hideyoshi.

But Nagachika Hideyoshi didn't like reading.

So it was a pleasant surprise for him to make a book friend.

"So do you have any contact information? Or what places do you like to go?"

Uchiha Byakuya continued to ask Kaneki Ken.

Considering that Kaneki Ken is so young and probably doesn't have a mobile phone yet, you can also ask him about the places he often goes.

In this way, if Kaneki Ken needs any help, he will be able to help.

Moreover, every time Yoshimura mentions a book club meeting, signing meeting, etc., he can directly invite Kaneki Ken and cultivate a loyal fan.

"Ah... I don't have any contact information yet. I usually like to go to the library to read, or sit in a coffee shop and read."

Kaneki Ken replied.

At this time, Kirishima Touka noticed that Uchiha Byakuya was talking to a boy she had never seen before, and she asked curiously, "Is this my brother's friend?"

"Yeah, we both like reading, so we became friends."

Uchiha Baiye nodded slightly.

"Reading books? I don't like it. I don't think it's as interesting as comics."

Kirishima Touka said directly.

After all, they are still children and tend to speak their mind.

Although Kaneki Ken was a little dissatisfied, he didn't say anything.

Since I didn't know the other person at all, I was embarrassed to even talk to him normally.

"Look, isn't this comic much more interesting than those books?"

At this time, Kirishima Touka suddenly came over and opened the cartoon comic in her hand to show it to Kaneki Ken.

Kaneki Ken was caught off guard by the other party's sudden action. The other party suddenly approached so close that he couldn't help but take a half step back.

Not to mention reading comics so close to girls, he hardly even spoke to them.

Kaneki Ken suddenly felt a little shy, but he still read the comic that Kirishima Touka asked him to read.

But he had no interest in comics, and he couldn't see anything interesting about it after reading just one page. It was a little difficult to understand for him who only liked reading books.

"No... I still think it's not as good as the book..."

Although his tone was weak and low, Kaneki Ken still denied Kirishima Touka's point of view.

"what?"

Kirishima Touka was also unhappy, "It's unreasonable for you to have such an idea."

"You are the one imposing your own ideas on others..."

Kaneki Ken complained quietly.

"Damn it! Today I have to let you know that comics are the best!"

Kirishima Touka was getting excited and moved closer.
