Fighting you is like being in jail.

"What's wrong?"

"It's alright, Mother is fine. I was just overthinking it."

"Oh

Yukino responded, but didn't ask any further questions. She simply stared at Haruno for a long time.

......

On the other side, Kaneki Ken.

As a university student, he's been doing quite well lately, with cheap rice making his life less financially strained. Since he's now a ghoul, he's naturally been drawn into the Heat Alien organization.

She even showed up in front of Yoshimura Eto.

Eto Yoshimura was a little concerned about Kaneki Ken's appearance, but then she quickly dismissed the thought of the current state of ghouls.

In the past, this would have been the best heir, but now it's unnecessary.

However, she still took good care of the weak-looking boy and kindly assigned him to the patrol group, since the patrol group usually just wandered around when they had nothing else to do.

She genuinely considered Kaneki Ken as her younger brother.

Kaneki Ken felt indignant after the supermarket was vandalized. Everything was going in a good direction, but then it suddenly turned out like this.

"Alright, alright, look at you like that, you sheep."

Yoshimura Eto smiled at the unwilling Kaneki Ken and said indifferently.

"But Sister Aite... I'm still not satisfied. This is all the hard work of everyone..."

"It's good that you're alright. This is no simple matter; it's an attack by hostile forces. Be careful lately, in case you suddenly disappear one day."

Yoshimura Eto grinned and said with an evil smile, as if she were trying to scare him.

Then she jokingly laughed:

"Yan, are you interested in becoming a cadre?"

"Huh? Me? No way! I'm completely clueless about fighting... I'll just stick to doing odd jobs." Kaneki Ken was startled by these words, his face full of insecurity and fear.

Kaneki Ken is still a complete newbie who has never experienced anything.

"What a pity, you're absolutely super strong with Rize's kagune!"

"No, absolutely not! I don't like fighting at all, and being a leader requires leadership skills, which I simply don't have." Kaneki Ken hurriedly waved his hands and took a step back in fear.

"That's true, they're still too green."

Yoshimura Aite shook his head with a smile and sighed.

Then she stood up from her office chair, stretched, and said:

"That's all for today, time to go home."

Yeah!! You've worked hard!

Kaneki Ken nodded and bowed, his face full of a post-get off work smile.

Yoshimura Aite tapped him on the head with a document, saying, "You just like leaving get off work, huh?"

"Hehe." Kaneki Ken scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled.

"You're never going to grow up like this. You should be more confident. You're very strong. Maybe... you can become the strongest."

"It seems highly unlikely..."

"I'm leaving now."

So the two of them walked out of the office and saw the ruins of the supermarket. There were carts on the ruins being cleared, and reconstruction was to follow.

On her way back, Yoshimura Ete walked slowly down the road in black high heels. Despite her petite stature, she wore a mature office lady outfit, creating a striking contrast.

Although she didn't like the outfit herself, she felt she had to set a good example for others, so she had no choice but to wear it.

"Yan, what are we having for dinner?"

"I don't know. I guess we'll eat when we get back."

"Okay, let's have a cup of coffee."

"Huh?! We're having coffee tonight!"

"The main purpose is to meet that man."

"Really... Sister Aite, don't you plan to reconcile with him?"

"How could that be! I will never forgive him!"

Yoshimura Eto gritted her teeth with a hint of resentment, her expression fierce, but the situation was much better now, since they could finally meet.

A moment later, she said goodbye to Kaneki Ken.

"Grow up soon, little Yan."

"Oh... see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Kaneki Ken smiled as he watched Yoshimura Eto's departing figure, his eyes filled with enthusiasm, looking forward to working harder on patrol tomorrow.

......

The next day

News has arrived that Yoshimura Aite was attacked and seriously injured and is being treated in the hospital.

Upon hearing the news, Kaneki Ken's pupils contracted, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he leaned back, taking a half-step back.

"Are you kidding me! He was perfectly fine yesterday!"

In the office, Kirishima Ayato clenched his fists, his arms trembling, and said:

"Yes, everything was fine yesterday. It was on my way home last night that I was attacked. It's hard to believe that someone as strong as Sister Aite could..."

Kirishima Ayato's voice was low and filled with anger and hatred.

Kaneki Ken's pupils dilated, and he stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape and his jaw trembling.

Thinking back to yesterday.

'Grow up soon, little Yan!'

He couldn't hold back his tears, and angrily lowered his head, clenching his fists.

"Let's go! To the hospital!"

Kaneki Ken said with all his might that he wanted to go to the hospital to get checked out.

"Okay!" Kirishima Ayato nodded and headed towards the hospital with Kaneki Ken without hesitation.

In the hospital ward.

When Kaneki Ken and Kirishima Ayato entered the ward, they found that there were other people there.

Not only were there Yoshimura Kōzen, but also strangers.

One of them exuded an extremely evil aura simply by sitting in his chair; just being seen by him made one feel cold all over and terrified.

After Kaneki Ken and Kirishima Ayato entered the ward, the extremely evil man began to sized them up.

"You're Kaneki Ken? I've heard Eto mention you."

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Kaneki Ken was surprised that the other person knew him, and politely nodded as he asked.

“I’m Leng Chang from the investigation team. I originally came here to investigate the supermarket attack, but I ran into this.”

"An organization cadre!?" Kirishima Ayato's eyes widened in shock.

It can be said that apart from Yoshimura Eto, no one in the Hot Alien organization has ever seen any of the other executives.

Although they knew that Yoshimura Eto was likely the only executive in the department, no one had ever seen the other executives.

The massive organization is shrouded in mystery, and even deliberate investigations and attempts to lure people in have failed. However, once someone exposes the organization to the public, that person will inevitably vanish without a trace.

Even if nothing happened, I'll forget what I did.

After several such incidents, everyone realized that there was more than one cadre, and that it was as if an invisible hand was controlling everything behind the scenes.

From then on, no one dared to go any further.

Leng Chang glanced at Kirishima Ayato, and the merciless look in his eyes instantly plunged him into an ice cave, causing him to shudder.

"Hmm." Leng Chang nodded in affirmation of Kirishima Ayato's question.

"Oh!" Kirishima Ayato exclaimed excitedly. This was one of the executives besides Yoshimura Eto.

"How is Sister Aite!?"

Kaneki Ken looked anxiously at Yoshimura Eto, who was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes filled with worry.

Sitting beside the hospital bed, Yoshimura Kozen peeled an apple and remarked with emotion:

"He's been saved, thanks to the ghoul's regenerative abilities. Otherwise, it would have been too late, and he would still be unconscious."

"That's great!"

Upon hearing this news, Kaneki Ken breathed a sigh of relief and said with teary eyes.

Yoshimura Kōzen nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, I'm here. Be careful lately, after all, there are people watching us in secret."

"Mmm!"

We will.

Ken Kaneki and Ayato Kirishima nodded in agreement.

A moment later, Kaneki Ken and Kirishima Ayato left the ward to buy some supplies. They planned to take turns keeping watch, since they didn't know when he might wake up.

After the two left, Yoshimura Eto, lying on the hospital bed, suddenly opened her eyes and revealed a mischievous smile.

"They're gone?"

"I'm leaving." Yoshimura Kozen nodded, smiling kindly as if he really couldn't do anything about it.

Yoshimura Aite jumped up and looked at Leng Chang gratefully, saying, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died on the roadside."

"Well... after all, he's one of us, there's no reason not to help. But seriously, is it really okay for you to lie to him like this?" Leng Chang looked at Yoshimura Eto with a subtle expression, feeling that this guy had a real talent for acting.

The attack was real, and the near-death experience was also real, but with Leng Chang's healing abilities, no injury was beyond saving. Even if someone died, they would be brought back to life and have a good time.

However, after saving Yoshimura Eto yesterday, she planned to turn the tables and pretend to be seriously injured to lure the enemy into attacking.

Then catch them all in one go.

Leng Chang pursed his lips in response, saying that he even knew what clothes the enemy was wearing.

The main reason Yoshimura Eto wanted to train Kaneki Ken and help him grow was because she arranged it this way.

Leng Chang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but let out a cackling sound.

The actors themselves are professionals!

I just finished an epic adventure, and now there's another one! This is definitely not a wasted trip!

So he agreed to Yoshimura Eto's request. Anyway, his current position was that of an investigation team member, so he could do whatever he wanted.

This script still revolves around intense battles.

Superpowered Urban Battle!

"If you have nothing else to do, go ahead and do your own thing. I won't be attacked here anytime soon."

Yoshimura Aite said with a smile, looking at Leng Chang.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go check out other places first. Be careful."

Leng Chang stood up, nodded, and left the ward without looking back.

......

In the chat group.

Leng Chang: Aite was attacked yesterday.

Madoka Kaname: Hmm!? What's wrong?

Homura Akemi: Are you alright?
