Is this okay?

Tatsumi: Here I come!

Kaneki Ken: ...

Chapter Thirty-One: She Must Prevent the Tragedy That Is About to Happen!

Just as Leng Mo and the others were heading to the school, Rize Kamishiro had already escaped into the antiques.

When the store manager saw Rize Kamishiro looking haggard and downcast, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Although he didn't know what she had been through these past few days, she looked terrible.

His hair was disheveled, his body was filthy, and he even trembled slightly when he stood up.

Finally, Rize Kamishiro ate a piece of meat at the antique shop that she had never wanted to eat before, because the meat was from people who had committed suicide, and in Rize Kamishiro's eyes, it was not worthy of being eaten.

But things are different now. She has to eat, whether she wants to or not, and the thought of what she went through before makes her feel sad.

They were so moved after eating the meat that they almost cried.

"I never knew you had this side to you."

Suddenly, Touka's voice came from the side, filled with strange surprise.

I had never seen Rize Kamishiro so destitute in my memory. My only impression of her was that she was arrogant. Then, when I heard from her again, she was gone.

"Are you here to laugh at me?"

"No. The fact that you're back means they've let you go, so I came to ask how Kaneki is doing?"

Dongxiang recalled the previous situation and felt a little strange, but also a little expectant.

"Kaneki? You mean that gentle-looking boy? He's perfectly fine; he even left some of the footprints on my face!"

Speaking of Leng Mo and his three companions, Rize Kamishiro gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear them to pieces, but she was no match for them.

As long as they're wearing skirts, you can't beat them at all!

Damn, you're a pervert!

“Things are different now…” Touka said with a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"What's different?" Rize Kamishiro didn't quite understand and looked up at Touka with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, just some feelings." Dong Xiang didn't explain, nor did she intend to say more.

Just as Touka was about to leave, Rize Kamishiro noticed that Touka was wearing casual clothes today, which clearly meant she was going out.

"Where are you going dressed like that?" Rize asked curiously. Logically speaking, Touka should be at school at this time.

"Want to go for a look?" Dongxiang replied casually.

"Shopping? What a coincidence, I'd like to go shopping too." Rize Kamishiro couldn't help but lick her lips after putting down her plate. This little bit of food was far from enough for her, so shopping seemed like a good option.

Touka naturally understood Rize Kamishiro's meaning; it was impossible to stop her, so she could only sigh in the end.

"Don't go too far."

"Of course, I know my current situation."

Rize Kamishiro said seriously, she didn't want to cause any more trouble and appear in the sight of Leng Mo and the other three.

Then the two of them took out an antique.

Suddenly curious about Touka's destination, Rize Kamishiro asked directly, "Where are you planning to go?"

"I plan to take the college entrance exam and want to see what the university environment is like," Dong Xiang replied casually, without stopping her steps.

Rize Kamishiro noticed something, frowned, and asked, "Is that really all there is to it?"

"Who knows?" Touka stopped and turned to look at Rize Kamishiro behind her, offering no explanation.

She wanted to see Kaneki. Although she had decided to distance herself from him, her feelings for him still made her unable to let go.

Whenever I have free time, I go to Kaneki's school to find him, but I just look at him from a distance without making any contact.

That's enough.

……

The entrance to the university where Kaneki studies.

Leng Mo and his two companions appeared at the school gate carrying four grass skirts and flower wreaths. The surrounding students couldn't help but show a hint of doubt when they saw Leng Mo and his companions.

Although I found their equipment strange, I didn't think much of it.

There are many clubs in the university, and quite a few strange ones. The students all assumed that Leng Mo and the others were members of a certain club.

At this very moment, in a lecture hall filled with people.

Jinmu sat in the classroom, sweating profusely and at a loss. He had no intention of going to meet up with Leng Mo and the others.

This is a hula dance, which he neither knows how to do nor can do.

As a frail college student, my favorite thing to do is to quietly read books in the library. How could I possibly do something so contrary to my personality?

Absolutely not going!

As long as I don't show myself, they won't be able to find me!

That’s right!

Kaneki Ken watched the old professor on the podium with an earnest expression, his pen trembling as he wrote on the paper, not taking notes, but out of fear.

"Kaneki, what's wrong with you today? Are you really okay?" His deskmate, Hideyoshi Nagachika, noticed Kaneki's hand trembling slightly as he held the pen and turned to look at him curiously.

His absence for three days, coupled with Kaneki's current trembling and discomfort, has caused his close friend great concern.

"Yingliang...it's okay, I just...I can't control myself a little..." Kaneki explained with a forced smile, but as for why he couldn't control himself, it was because he was afraid that Leng Mo and the others would do something crazy that would get him into trouble.

"?"

Hideyoshi Nagachika looked puzzled when Kaneki said this, having no idea what had happened.

Just then, a lively sound came from outside the classroom, followed by the voices of Leng Mo and his two companions.

"Gold-wood-!"

"We brought the grass skirt you wanted—!!"

"Hurry up and come out! We're waiting to see you do the hula!"

"..."

At that moment, Kaneki Ken in the classroom finally realized something: This is a true gatekeeper!

In an instant, everyone in the classroom turned to look at him, their faces filled with shock.

It was as if no one had ever imagined that Kaneki, such a quiet classmate, would have such a terrible hobby, and some even found it unacceptable.

"Yingliang, do you know?" Kaneki shakily put down his pen, staring at his best friend beside him with a face full of cold sweat.

"Huh?" Hideyoshi Nagachika looked at Kaneki expectantly. Although he didn't know what had happened, he could sense that Kaneki was different now.

"Never be friends with people from comedy anime."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Hideyoshi Nagachika stared at Kaneki with wide eyes in disbelief, then retreated at the speed of light in terms of mental distance from Kaneki.

Kaneki's gone mad!

Kaneki seemed to realize that the distance between his heart and his best friend was growing wildly, as unreachable as the stars.

I also came to understand a truth that I had to admit.

Kaneki Ken is dead!

His former image has been completely destroyed in this instant!

No--!!!

Chat area.

Kaneki Ken: ...

Stranger: Hehe! Kaneki, you're finally out. If you hadn't come out, I was about to broadcast it to the whole school from the broadcasting room.

Kaneki Ken: ...

Kazuma Sato: Kaneki, come quick!

Kaneki Ken: ...

Stranger: Enough said, miracles and magic await us!

Kazuma Sato: Oh!

Tatsumi: Kaneki, say something! Why are you just staring?

Kaneki Ken: Speechless...

Stranger: You need to think of it this way: this is all for the future! For your wife! For your Touka! Can't you even endure this little bit of pain? This isn't the same person you were in the original story at all!

Kaneki Ken: That being said, I'm dead! I'm dead! I feel like my life as a human is over!

Kazuma Sato: I understand you. Just like when you watched my storyline back then, you laughed so happily. I still can't forget it... So, how many floors can you carry a bag of rice up?

Kaneki Ken: ...

I have a feeling you did this on purpose.

Tatsumi: How about we find a secluded place to look first?

Ken Kaneki: Okay, there aren't many people in the open space behind the stadium usually.

Stranger: Okay!

So the group decided to meet at the open space behind the stadium.

……

space.

There's no one around at this time, making it the safest time.

Kaneki squatted on the open ground with a look of despair on his face. God knows how he managed to escape from his classmates' sight. Anyway, he's already dead.

Leng Mo had already drawn a magic circle next to him; any circle could be a magic circle.

Having made all the preparations, Leng Mo's expression hardened, and he said seriously:

"are you ready?"

He then turned to look at Kaneki and the other two beside him, his expression full of solemnity.

However, Tatsumi, holding a grass skirt, asked in confusion, "Didn't you say one was enough? Why do we have to go together?"

“Tatsumi, you don’t understand. One person is a social death, but! If we all do the same action, then there is no social death. Social death is relative. If everyone is a social death, then there is no concept of social death.”

"I see."

Tatsumi nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with the current situation.

If only one person is jumping, everyone will burst out laughing, but if they all jump together, no one will laugh.

Not losing is a good approach.

The premise is that it won't be discovered by unimportant people.

……

Meanwhile, Touka and Rize Kamishiro had arrived at the school, her eyes filled with nostalgia and reminiscence.

"Then I'll go take a look around."

Rize Kamishiro glanced at the people at the school, a cruel smile spreading across her face. She wasn't about to let such a good opportunity slip by.

"Wait a minute! Don't..."

Upon hearing this, Touka immediately tensed up. She didn't want Rize Kamishiro to cause trouble at school, but when she turned around, Rize Kamishiro had already disappeared.

"Damn Kamishiro Rise!"

After cursing, Touka immediately began searching for Rize Kamishiro.

She had to prevent the tragedy that was about to unfold!

Chapter Thirty-Two: Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

Rize Kamishiro wouldn't care about Touka's warning; she's a glutton!
