Is this okay?

Damn it! This is definitely intentional! This is absolutely meant to torture me!

They know perfectly well I'm a ghoul!

Run! That man is coming!

Just as Xuan was about to turn and run away, Leng Mo appeared behind him, put his hand on his shoulder, and smiled kindly.

"Since you're already here, why not eat before you leave? Or are you... unwilling?"

"..."

Damn it!! Is there no escape now?!

Xuan Du felt the pressure from Leng Mo and revealed a look of despair. At the same time, he realized that he had no choice but to eat this shit!

And so, Xuandu was led by Leng Mo to sit down at his table.

As soon as he sat down, Ayato felt an immense and terrifying pressure pressing down on him.

He didn't know the people around him, but the pressure emanating from them was unmistakable!

He is a powerful figure on par with that man!

There's no escape!!

Despair instantly enveloped Ayato, terrifying him so much that he sat frozen in place, too afraid to move.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Look, the child was so moved he cried.

Seeing that Aya was so scared, Senior Madoka kindly prepared egg dipping sauce for him and used chopsticks to put a lot of food into his bowl.

"Come on, eat. Eat more, you're so thin... Your older sister Dong Xiang has gained a lot of weight these past few days."

Her caring voice was incredibly loving; anyone who heard it felt the concern and warmth in her words, which was a rare instance of her showing concern for others.

After all, this is Senior Komaru; you wouldn't get this much attention if you weren't a close friend.

"..."

so much!

It's absolutely impossible to eat that!

Ayato stared at the large bowl of sukiyaki in front of him, too afraid to speak. As a ghoul, he had completely understood.

This is absolutely intentional!

It's all for the sake of torturing myself!

He looked up, wanting to refuse, but upon seeing Senior Xiaoyuan's expression, he suddenly felt his hands and feet turn ice-cold, and a terrifying aura enveloped him.

I can't refuse... I'll die!

Ayato clearly sensed the aura emanating from Madoka-senpai and dared not resist at all.

It was a friendly smile, but deep within that smile, he saw something indescribable.

terrible!

With no other choice, Ayato had to grit his teeth, pick up his chopsticks, and finish what was in front of him.

Since ghouls cannot taste the food, they can only swallow it in large gulps without chewing.

"Ok?"

Leng Mo frowned when he saw Xuan Du like this, as if he had sensed something.

Eating so fast... could it be...?

The next second, Leng Mo quickly picked up his chopsticks and grabbed some food, instantly filling a bowl with sukiyaki in his hands.

"You're eating so fast, you must be starving. Come on, eat more, there's more if you're not full. We've already eaten, you can finish this whole pot."

He instinctively gave Ayatsu a friendly smile and looked at him.

But in Ayatsu's eyes, that smile didn't look like that of a good person at all.

"..."

Xuan Du looked at the cold, indifferent smile in front of him and shakily stopped what he was doing.

Calm down! Don't panic! Take a sip of water first...

He reached out to drink some water to calm himself down and swallow his food.

However, his hands trembled uncontrollably as Leng Mo watched him and he recalled what had happened before.

When Leng Mo saw Xuan Du's trembling hands reaching for the water, he couldn't help but feel concerned, his heart filled with sympathy and emotion.

This guy... is so pitiful.

It was just a meal, but I never expected it to move me to tears.

Okay, let him eat the whole pot.

He absolutely must not go hungry.

At that moment, Ayato picked up a drink from the side and took a sip.

The expected smooth sailing didn't happen; instead, there was an indescribable strangeness.

It's cola!

His eyes widened instantly, as if he wanted to spit them out.

But at that moment, he forcibly restrained himself! He suddenly realized that three terrifying gazes were being cast at him from the opposite side, like wild beasts eyeing their prey!

Stay calm! Absolutely do not throw up! Those three guys over there are watching me!

I saw a warning in their eyes!

Don’t vomit!

Ayato, who almost spat it out, narrowed his eyes and forcibly suppressed it. He instinctively wanted to vomit, but when he suddenly saw the looks in the eyes of Tatsumi, Kazuma, and Kaneki on the other side, he immediately sensed something was wrong!

They are warning me!

In an instant, Xuandu frantically swallowed what was in his mouth, letting out a sigh with a livid face.

This is hell...

He felt like he was in hell, lonely, weak, and unable to eat.

At this moment, Kaneki and the others on the other side did not speak, but they were chatting in the chat area.

Kazuma Sato: Kaneki, your brother-in-law almost spat it out...

Ken Kaneki: I don't know, maybe I've never eaten anything so delicious before and I ate it too quickly.

Tatsumi: That's so pitiful... Should I go next door and get him some more cake?

Ken Kaneki: I think it's a good idea.

Stranger: Go ahead, go ahead, this guy is so pitiful. He's trembling with emotion just from picking up some food for him. Sigh... I have mixed feelings.

Senior Xiaoyuan: Yeah, yeah, that's so pitiful. I'll make a call and order some more meat. I'll make sure he eats his fill this time.

Kazuma Sato: Agreed! Add more dishes! It's a pity I'm full, otherwise I'd like to have some too.

Ken Kaneki: Flower-stuffed chicken... It smells so good.

Tatsumi: I want to eat, but I'm too full.

Stranger: Let's do it tomorrow, then go with Zhen.

Kazuma Sato: No problem, with stuffed chicken, nothing is a problem!

Then the group split up. Madoka got up and happily went to order takeout meat, while Tatsumi went next door to get a cake.

Their actions startled Ayato, who stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

What are they going to do!

Do...do you really want me to eat this?!

No... please stop feeding me!

However, Ayato was powerless to stop the impending tragedy and could only sit there and await his judgment.

After a short while, he quietly put down the two bowls of food he had finished eating, and then he saw Leng Mo and the others quickly putting food on his plate.

In the blink of an eye, both bowls were filled again.

"..."

You might as well just kill me!!

Seeing this, Ayato's hands trembled uncontrollably. He picked up the food in front of him with shaky hands, and even the bowl he picked up was so shaky that he could hardly hold it.

He cried while living in Bengbu.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, as if she were crying out.

I've really settled in Bengbu.

What's going on here?

What did I do to deserve this torment?

He's just an ordinary ghoul who came looking for Rize Kamishiro!

Please, have mercy on me! I beg you!

Stop torturing me!

When Leng Mo and the others saw Xuan Du's emotional breakdown, they all looked at each other with sympathy and exchanged silent glances.

Look, the child was so moved that he cried.

Keep going! Go all out! Let him feel our care!

In an instant, everyone was certain that they had done the right thing.

She unconsciously sped up the pace of serving food to Ayato, and even gave her own portion of dipping sauce to Ayato.

Kaneki: You're my future brother-in-law, I definitely won't treat you badly!

Kazuma: This child is so pitiful. He's only a teenager and he cries his eyes out just from eating... I feel like crying too.

Tatsumi: Eat up! Eat up! Eat more! Even though I was poor back home, I never felt hungry. This is a kind of pain I've never experienced before. It must be very painful!

Stranger: I'm a kind-hearted person and can't bear to see others suffer, so give him more to eat.

Senior Xiaoyuan: I'm proud to do good deeds! Ta-yo!

For a moment, the group was filled with their own thoughts and feelings, and the scene evoked their emotions, which they could not suppress.

Meanwhile, Ayato on the other side was completely overwhelmed by the increasing number of things in front of him.

Looking at the mountain of food piled up in front of him, he burst into tears, deeply moved.

RNM! Stranger!

I have done nothing to wrong you, so why are you torturing me like this!

You might as well just kill me!

Finally, under everyone's caring gaze, Ayato, trembling with tears, forced herself to finish eating everything.

He didn't even know how he finished eating; he was just numb from eating.

Even under general anesthesia, he lay peacefully in a chair, his face oily, sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, Leng Mo and the others felt even more sympathy and nodded silently.

"This is probably the first time he's ever eaten so heartily."

"Yes, seeing his satisfied look put my mind at ease."

"As expected, everything we did paid off."

"Next time...next time I'll take him to eat something even better."

"can!"

"..."

There will be a next time!
