Is this okay?

"no, do not want!"

Rize Kamishiro turned around in fear as if she had realized something terrible. Recalling the painful experiences of the past two days, her hands and feet turned cold, her scalp tingled, and she even twitched a little.

"???"

However, Touka on the other side had no idea what was going on and looked at Rize Kamishiro with a strange expression.

Why aren't you attacking? She seems very scared, what's wrong?

No, what is she afraid of?

Just as Touka was wondering what was going on, they arrived.

They arrived so fast that Touka couldn't keep up. By the time she realized what was happening, Rize Kamishiro was already surrounded by four people wearing different colored skirts.

Immediately afterwards...

"Rize Kamishiro, you must have seen it, right?" Leng Mo asked softly with a friendly and kind smile, but his aura was as ghostly as a ghost.

“Since we’ve been discovered, there’s nothing we can do but…” Kaneki said kindly, not giving Rize Kamishiro any chance to speak.

"Use your blood as a sacrifice!" Kazuma's eyes flashed with a fierce light; he had already prepared everything.

"I'm sorry, you know too much." Although Tatsumi felt uneasy, he understood perfectly well that this moment was just like that moment before, and he couldn't let it go!

"..."

Surrounded by the four, Rize Kamishiro's legs trembled uncontrollably.

She had no idea what she would encounter next; the only thing she was certain of was that she was doomed.

And the culprit behind all of this is—Fog! Island! Dong! Xiang!

She looked over with murderous intent, the deepest part of which was utter despair.

At this moment, Kirishima Touka was completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened, and even scratched her head in confusion.

What's happening here?

what happened?

Did I do something wrong?

Why is she looking at me with such despair and murderous intent?

who I am? where am I? What should I do?

And why is Kaneki in there, still wearing the same black dress he wore before?

What? What happened? I don't know?

Dong Xiang stood there, completely unaware of what was happening. She had only come to save innocent victims, but the situation was not what she had expected.

The innocent victims seem to have completely neutralized the perpetrators, giving them no chance whatsoever.

At this moment, Leng Mo, with a toothache on his face, raised his head and asked Rize Kamishiro a question.

"So, are you ready, Rize Kamishiro?!"

"What...what are you going to do!?" Rize Kamishiro wanted to retreat in fear, but there was nowhere to retreat. She could only shake her head in fear as she looked at Leng Mo.

"What are you doing? Don't you know perfectly well?"

"Do you... want to do things the same way as before?"

"YES! YES! YES!"

"Is it... is it the kind of beating involving punches and kicks?"

"YES! YES! YES!"

Is it too late for me to admit my mistake now?

"NO! NO! NO!"

"..."

And then... no more.

Rize Kamishiro was cornered in an alley and brutally beaten by Leng Mo and his three companions.

"Enemy! Damn it! Enemy! Attack!"

Crackle, crackle, crackle!

Leng Mo and the others fought with such skill that they gave Kamishiro Rize no chance at all.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Leng Mo suddenly reached out and stopped the others, preventing them from continuing.

The others were puzzled by Leng Mo's actions and all looked over.

At this moment, Leng Mo pinched his chin thoughtfully.

"We've been arguing for ages without any results, which means that condition isn't working. Let's try a different approach."

"From another angle?" No one understood what Leng Mo was trying to say.

"How about we change the conditions? Let's build a fire, put her on it to roast, and then dance the hula and shout 'boom-ga-boom-ga' next to her!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

For a moment, everyone was stunned and fell silent, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that it really could be true.

And then... no more.

When Touka came to her senses, she saw Leng Mo and the others roasting Rize Kamishiro over the fire. They were even dancing a grass skirt around the fire, making incomprehensible noises.

"Boom boom ...

"Boom boom ...

As someone directly involved, Touka couldn't possibly describe what the scene was like, but she was certain of one thing.

If there is a hell in time, this must be a scene that can only be seen in hell.

That’s ridiculous!

Gold - wood -! !

You shouldn't be like this! Why is your smile so radiant, even brighter and happier than after we got married!

Chapter Thirty-Four: This guy is a piece of trash!

Just as Touka was unable to describe what she had seen.

Light! It appeared!

When Leng Mo and the others saw the fire glowing, they immediately understood that a miracle and magic had occurred, and their conditions had been met. For a moment, everyone danced with joy.

"Ah! The fire is glowing! Hahahaha!"

"It's a success! It's a success! Hahahaha!"

"As expected of Rize Kamishiro! She's so useful! Hahahaha!"

"Is it finally over? Hahahaha!"

As a result, the original grass skirt dance turned into a hellish drawing resembling cannibalistic dancing.

The person was laughing wildly, waving their hands, and jumping their legs; it was even more... even more hellish than the scene just now.

The fact that the bonfire was still glowing perfectly illustrated what a terrifying ritual looks like.

Seeing this, Touka was speechless. Although she didn't know what had happened, the eerie light and the almost frantic people looked terrifying!

Should I run away first?

Touka felt cold sweat trickling down her forehead and finally understood why Rize Kamishiro had looked at her with such despair and murderous intent.

If it were her, she would be no different from Rize Kamishiro.

At this moment, Rize Kamishiro, tied to the fire, had completely given up thinking. She couldn't fight back, and she couldn't escape...

Destroy it quickly, we are tired.

As soon as the light burst forth, Kaneki immediately stopped what he was doing and silently turned to look at Touka beside him.

In that instant, their eyes met, and silence was the only way they could see each other on Cambridge. Just looking at each other was enough to fill them with emotion.

Kaneki gave a gentle smile, but his eyes were filled with sadness.

He knew that no matter how beautiful the words were, they could not cover up what had just happened.

But he did not give up; no matter how powerless the words, the truth is the truth.

"Touka, thank you."

"..."

Touka was surprised to hear Kaneki speak to her. Although she wanted to say something, she felt inexplicably at a loss when she recalled Kaneki's laughter and chatter with the others.

There's even a feeling that Kaneki might be happier now.

Thinking back, Kaneki's smile was gentle and considerate in my memory, but... behind that smile lay endless sorrow.

But now things are different; his smile just now was genuine happiness.

Since the future has changed, do I still need to contact Kaneki?

Shouldn't you walk your sunny path and I walk my narrow bridge?

That would be the best future. Human Kaneki could never be with his ghoul self.

But...why?

What's with this overwhelming sadness in my heart? I should have made up my mind from the very beginning.

Touka thought about many things, but didn't know how to talk to Kaneki at this moment. She could only stand there dumbfounded, looking at the opposite side, feeling a ridiculously sentimental feeling towards Kaneki's little skirt.

Kaneki, on the other hand, seemed to have prepared himself mentally, gazing at Touka with unwavering determination and certainty.

He said earnestly, "Soon, everything will be over. The conflict between ghouls and humans will become history, and a new world will be ushered in. Keep going, and the turning point will soon arrive."

Kaneki understood that any explanation would become a necessary condition for confirming the company's death, so he might as well act as a riddle-maker and shift the topic to the future.

This is the necessary condition for salvaging one's image!

Later, I can explain that this was a necessary sacrifice, and that the fault wasn't mine, but the world's!

Who knows how ridiculous miracles and magic are?

At this moment, Leng Mo grabbed Rize Kamishiro from the fire. The miracle and magic had already been achieved, so there was no need to torture her anymore.

As for the issue of death, after experiencing so much, Rize Kamishiro probably wouldn't care.

After all, Rize Kamishiro and Touka had met before, so it doesn't count as a social death.

The reason I treated Rize Kamishiro that way just now was because it was so sudden and frightening that I panicked and reacted in an emergency.

But it doesn't matter!

Let's make the best of a bad situation and bring Rize Kamishiro up as a necessary condition!

Anyway, we're all acquaintances, so there's no need to stand on ceremony.

As for Touka, that's Kaneki's problem.

Outsiders shouldn't meddle in other people's family affairs.

Leng Mo maintained this attitude, which was full of reason and understanding.

Although Rize Kamishiro in my hands has given up struggling and isn't moving at all, it doesn't matter! She's still alive.

That resilience is no joke; no wonder she's Rize Kamishiro.

"Kaneki, let's go."

Leng Mo, carrying Rize Kamishiro, turned to Kaneki beside him and reminded him that the matter was over and they should leave before being exposed.

Kaneki, standing nearby, gazed at Touka with a heavy heart upon hearing this, the moment of parting reminding him of his own farewell to Touka in the story.

It was a snowy night when he looked at Touka and said those words with a mixture of sadness and determination.

I want to join Bronze Tree...
