Is this okay?

They even felt like they were dreaming.

Every time she handed out a vial of the modification fluid, she felt her hand tremble once; each vial represented a life.

For the first time, she felt the weight of life so clearly—it was light, yet heavy, and cold.

But the beating heart is warmer than any winter.

Nighttime is actually what Takatsuki Sen looks forward to the most. Although she subconsciously dislikes it, whenever she comes to the antique shop and sits down to eat with everyone at night, she doesn't know why, but she just doesn't want to miss it.

Watching my fellow countrymen around me eating and laughing, it seemed like the most beautiful scene in the world.

And... my father, whom I really don't want to talk about.

He was a bit clumsy and a bit simple-minded, but you could definitely feel that he took great care of his feelings.

Even though it's clumsy and slow, it's inexplicably warm.

Perhaps this is what they call a home, a home that never existed for her.

In the alley, Takatsuki Sen squatted on the lid of a trash can, her eyes fixed on the back door of the antique shop, waiting for Touka and Kamishiro Rize.

Soon, the back door was opened.

Rize Kamishiro and Touka came out. After seeing Sen Takatsuki, they walked up to her. Although they didn't know why Sen Takatsuki wanted to see them, they could tell that it was definitely not a small matter.

"Dongxiang, where's your brother?"

Squatting on the trash can, Takatsuki Sen asked, having already stopped caring about Ayato, and with the gecko nowhere to be found.

Dong Xiang, who was sitting opposite, was a little surprised to hear this, but she didn't think much of it and said, "You should go to school. The manager asked you to."

"Going to school is so wonderful." Upon hearing this, Takatsuki Sen looked up at the sky with a touch of longing.

"Then, what do you want to see us about?" Dong Xiang asked curiously.

"It's like this, you know that Amo is going to the Yueshan family, right?" Takatsuki Sen became serious as she looked at the two of them.

“We understand.” Touka and Rize Kamishiro nodded.

"That's good. The Yue Shan family isn't an ordinary family; they're ruthless. I don't want A Mo and the others to be in danger, so I plan to have you take care of everything first. As for the Bronze Tree... well, how should I put it..."

Takatsuki Sen scratched her cheek sheepishly and continued with an awkward laugh, "Most of the people in Aogiri Tree are focused on peace. Now that everyone has their own lives to pursue, they don't care much about what's going on inside Aogiri Tree. I don't want to bother them either, since it's a rare kind of happiness. So... my side is a bit lacking in combat power..."

"I understand. Please take me with you. I also want to help Kaneki and the others. I always feel guilty for always being behind them."

Touka understands, and she will not leave.

She's determined to help.

"As for me... as long as it helps Amo and the others, that's fine!" Rize Kamishiro said gently, her face full of girlish shyness.

Unexpectedly, the back door was suddenly opened at that moment, and Yoshimura Kozen walked in with his men.

"You two just discussed something, you don't mind if we join in, do you?"

He looked at Takatsuki Sen and the other two with a kind smile, while his outstretched hands stood the three strongest members of the Antiques: Irimi Kaname, Koma Enji, and Yoshikazu Renji.

"Tch, at your age, why are you still coming?" Takatsuki Sen complained unhappily when Yoshimura Kozen came over.

"It's alright, I'll always be there whenever you need me." Yoshimura Kozen smiled kindly. He was happy to be reconciled with his daughter and to see her so happy.

"That's fine, but I absolutely won't help you if you drag me down!"

Takatsuki Izumi stared at Yoshimura Kozen with gritted teeth, her expression full of certainty.

"Don't worry, the 'Unkillable Owl' will reappear today."

Yoshimura Kōzen, sitting opposite him, became solemn, and a long-hidden aura erupted from his body.

The ruthless tyrant has returned today.

Not only that……

Bronze Tree - Yoshimura Ete.

Kaname Irimi, the leader of the ghoul group "Black Doberman".

The leader of the "Demon Ape" organization in District 20 - Koma Enji.

SS-rank ghoul - Renji Yomo.

Gluttony – Rize Kamishiro.

And the future savior's wife—Touka Kirishima.

Today, they will all give the Yue Shan family an unprecedented, unparalleled, and historically strongest concentrated attack.

It's all because the Tsukiyama family has been targeted by Leng Mo and others, blocking the path to the future of ghouls.

……

At 5:30 PM, the Tsukiyama family.

At this moment, Tsukiyama Shuu sat at the dining table with an elegant smile. The table was laden with various delicacies. As the young master of a large conglomerate, as the heir to a family, and as the legitimate heir of a renowned ghoul family, how could he not know about the modification fluid?

They even spent a lot of money to buy antiques, so it can be said that the entire Tsukiyama family is no longer a ghoul family.

"delicious!"

He ate the food in front of him with elegance and speed, and the taste that burst on his tongue with each chew made him feel amazed like never before.

This was a taste he had never experienced before, a truly magnificent taste.

"This is human cuisine, delicious food that I can eat anytime I want! No matter how many times I eat it, my amazement will never diminish. Perfect! Ah—! It's so delicious! It really moved me to tears."

He really cried, tears streaming down his cheeks, moved and excited at the same time.

foodie!

What a wonderful word. As a ghoul, he is called a gourmet because he has a unique taste.

Now it's as if he's opened the door to a new world, and he can embark on his journey to becoming a true gourmet.

So delicious!

Click, click, click!

Tsukiyama Shuu devoured the food with gusto, his face filled with satisfaction and a surge of excitement.

then……

Bang! !

With a loud crash, a man burst through the door, his body slamming into Tsukiyama Shuu's face, nearly knocking over the food on the table.

"Asshole!!"

boom!

Tsukiyama Shuu slammed his fist on the table, unleashing his ghoul eyes as he roared at the person who burst through the door.

"Didn't I tell you to respect food? What if you spill it?!"

Without saying a word, he began kicking the man on the ground who was spitting blood repeatedly.

Bang bang bang!

The immense force of the kick broke the teeth of the person on the ground, causing them to bleed and make no sound.

However, Tsukiyama Shuu slowly stood up from his chair the next second, angrily wanting to teach the person who had disturbed his meal a lesson.

"No one...no one can disturb my meal! I'm going to teach you a terrible lesson so you'll understand what it means to not disturb me while I'm eating!!"

He roared in anger, unleashing his kagune.

Then I saw standing outside: Yoshimura Eto, the Demon Ape, the Black Doberman, Yomo Renji, Gluttony, Kirishima Touka, and... the Unkillable Owl.

"..."

Tsukiyama Shuu instantly felt his hands and feet turn ice cold; this was probably the strongest team in ghoul history.

What have I done to deserve being treated like this by you ancestors?

Is it too late for me to admit defeat?

He stood there, covered in cold sweat, too afraid to move.

Chapter 71 I'm such a clever little devil!

"Everyone...you didn't hear anything, right? Cough cough!"

Tsukiyama looked at the group in front of him with a look of fear. This kind of fear that went straight to the top of one's head and could even cause a stress response was no joke.

It's like secretly taking out your phone to play while doing homework, and then your mom suddenly teleports behind you with a belt—it's terrifying.

That is, spiraling upwards straight to the top of one's head, and even unable to resist imitating a certain Italian godfather shouting, "Don't come near me!"

This is what Tsukiyama Shu is afraid of now.

Did I do something to offend them?

No, impossible!

My Yue Shan family absolutely does not have the ability to offend all these guys, not even the ruthless tyrant who has been out of the public eye for decades has reappeared.

This is definitely not a simple matter.

"Excuse me... what can I do for you?"

Tsukiyama couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and frantically wipe away his sweat; this was a job that could cost him his head if he wasn't careful.

The next second, Yoshimura Kozen's voice appeared in front of Tsukiyama Shuu.

“Two people will come to see you later. Do whatever they tell you. If you dare to say no, the Tsukiyama family will cease to exist after today. This is your last chance to live. It is your only chance. The anti-ghoul clan will not let any ghoul go. You should understand what I mean.”

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Tsukiyama Shuu's pupils contracted, and his fear instantly surged.

Staring wide-eyed at the undying owl who had torn half of his body apart, he sensed something was about to happen.

An anti-ghoul clan!!

That anti-ghoul clan that recently saved ghouls from disaster?

That's...amazing!!

Does that mean I have the opportunity to join the anti-ghouls faction?

Splashy!

“I understand. If it is a prominent figure from an anti-ghoul clan, I, on behalf of the Tsukiyama family, sincerely welcome him. If possible, please allow me to join the anti-ghouls.”

He looked at Yoshimura Kozen with excitement, full of anticipation and affirmation!

"I can't decide."

Yoshimura Kōzen didn't say much. Seeing Tsukiyama Shu's reaction, he knew that this guy wouldn't do anything reckless.

This can be seen as paving the way for Leng Mo and the others, and things will go smoothly from now on.

There won't be the slightest trouble.

No one would expect trouble to come.

Everyone thought the same way and understood perfectly well that the next funding issue would definitely fall on the Yueshan family.

He has been given the only way out; it remains to be seen whether he will cherish it.

Then Yoshimura Kōzen turned around, nodded to the people behind him, and everyone began to evacuate at the same time.

Soon, in the blink of an eye, Yoshimura Kozen left with his men.

Tsukiyama Shuu excitedly smiled and rushed out of the room.

Just as he was about to offer some praise, he saw his subordinates lying haphazardly outside his room, some even having been beaten into the walls.

"This is truly...terrifying."

Only then did he realize that all his guards had been dealt with by those people.

"However, it's worth it! My Tsukiyama clan will surely have a place in the future! Anti-ghouls will definitely bring hope!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

He burst into wild laughter, his face filled with excitement.
