Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

As for Tsukiyama Shuu, backed by the powerful Tsukiyama family, and as the direct heir of the Tsukiyama family, he disregarded the rules of the "Anteiku Cafe".

If Kirishima Touka could get this annoying guy to entangle Tsukiyama Shuu instead of staring at them, she would be more than happy.

"Thank you, Miss Dongxiang."

Ke Ling wrote down the address; he planned to go check out the Ghoul Restaurant, which was a great place.

"Sir, have you joined the CCG?"

Yoshimura Kōzen came down from the second floor. He asked very directly, but he was very puzzled.

This man is clearly not human; according to him, he was turned into a cannibalistic monster like Kaneki Ken.

How could such a creature choose to join the CCG?

He knows a lot about ghouls. If he joins the CCG, he'll probably cause a bloodbath.

"No, don't misunderstand, I asked someone to make this for me."

Ke Ling stopped joking and picked up his suitcase to get up.

"Is this Rize's taste?"

Ghouls have a very sensitive nose; even after being turned into a quinque, they can still tell whose kagune it was made from.

Kirishima Touka couldn't smell it, but Yoshimura Kōzen made a judgment instantly.

"I'll take my leave now, Manager Fangcun."

Ke Ling did not answer, but smiled and said goodbye to the other person.

"Dingling bell~"

Just as Ke Ling reached the door, someone came in from outside. It was an acquaintance, with black hair and an eye patch over his left eye.

gentlemen?!"

Kaneki Ken entered the store and was pleasantly surprised to see Ke Ling.

"Kaneki, you still came to Anteiku. So, which side did you ultimately choose?"

Looking at Kaneki Ken in front of him, Ke Ling could tell that his mental state had improved a lot, obviously he had eaten, but he didn't know what he had eaten.

"The meat of the ghouls is indeed very hard to eat."

Kaneki Ken answered softly, the answer was already obvious: he ate the kagune.

"Are you busy right now? If not, come with me."

Ke Ling smiled. This was not unexpected. When given a choice, people will choose the one that is easier to accept.

Although eating the kagune must have been very uncomfortable for Kaneki Ken, it was the best choice for him compared to the other option.

What else can we do? Are we really just going to die like this? Not to mention Kaneki Ken couldn't do it, even Ke Ling himself couldn't.

Survival is an instinct that few can resist; otherwise, those who give up their lives for their beliefs wouldn't be so respected.

"I want to work in Anding District."

Kaneki Ken looked at Yoshimura Kozen. He was actually there to learn how to make coffee, as coffee could, to some extent, delay the hunger of ghouls.

Of course, this is only to a certain extent. Even if you drink it every day and keep drinking it, at most it will only reduce the time you hunt once a month to once every month and a half.

But this is also important for Kaneki Ken, because he has no idea where to find his second meal.

Are there really very few lowly working people who get a day off on the 30th? Waaah.

Chapter 115 The main course is here

"Manager Yoshimura, may I borrow Kaneki Ken for a moment?"

Ke Ling looked at Yoshimura Kozen; the old man still had his eyes narrowed and a smile on his face.

"This is Kaneki's freedom."

Yoshimura Kōzen would not force others to do anything, nor would he force others to follow his rules.

"Manager, I need to ask for leave today. Touka, Irimi-senpai, please take care of me!"

Kaneki Ken quickly made a decision: he would go out with his teacher. The young man bowed to the group.

"Go ahead and be safe."

Yoshimura Kōzen nodded without objecting, as did Irimi Kaname.

"I'll cover your shift, but remember you owe me one day, so you have to cover for me next time too."

Irimi Kaname smiled gently, showing no trace of the SS-rank ghoul who once dominated the 20th ward.

The ghouls of Anteiku have a completely incongruous feel with this twisted world.

"Humph!"

Only Kirishima Touka turned away in dissatisfaction, which made Kaneki Ken somewhat embarrassed, but he also knew that Kirishima Touka had some objections to his choice.

"let's go."

Ke Ling carried the suitcase out, and Kaneki Ken immediately followed.

"Don't worry about it. It's very common for ghouls to eat each other. They call it cannibalism. Even people of the same kind eat each other, let alone you who are different from them."

Seeing that Kaneki Ken's expression was not quite right, Ke Ling comforted the boy.

"Why is that? They are clearly stronger than humans, and they also have emotions similar to humans."

However, Kaneki Ken clearly couldn't understand it, and after spending some time with everyone at "Anteiku Cafe," he understood it even less.

It's human nature for ghouls to eat people, he can understand that, but they are so similar to humans, and they can easily hunt humans, so why do they still eat their own kind?

"Who knows? Some ghouls would rather eat other ghouls than eat humans."

Ke Ling shrugged, "For example, Kirishima Touka's father, the 'corpse collector' Kirishima Shin, survives solely by collecting corpses and eating ghouls."

It's not surprising that a human like Kaneki Ken, who was turned into a ghoul, would make this choice, because his identity still belongs to the human side.

But natural ghouls like Kirishima Arata, the "corpse collector," would rather kill their own kind for communal consumption than attack humans; they are like living Buddhas among ghouls.

Kirishima Arata doesn't just occasionally eat ghouls; he's even turned himself into a "Kakuja," something that requires massive amounts of ghoul-eating to achieve.

If the purpose of picking up corpses to eat is simply to avoid revealing one's identity, then that is entirely understandable; "Anding District Cafe" currently operates on this model.

Although prolonged fasting and only occasional meals can severely reduce an individual's combat effectiveness, there's no need to fight as long as their identity remains hidden.

But his large-scale hunting of his own kind for "common consumption" is somewhat puzzling. Kirishima Arata is not a killer like Yoshimura Kozen in his youth; he has a gentler personality.

Could it be due to family issues? A wife, two children, and the corpses they found weren't enough to feed them? Was the pressure to survive too great?

""

Ken Kaneki took a deep breath. At least humans wouldn't choose to eat their own kind if they had other food to eat, he was convincing himself.

In the Seventh District, Ke Ling, along with Kaneki Ken, searches for their target: the ghoul restaurant run by Tsukiyama Shuu.

They arrived in the 7th district from the 20th. It was already late, but that was the perfect time, as the ghoul restaurant only opened for banquets at night.

This ghoul restaurant is different from "Anteiku Cafe". On the surface, it is a real restaurant that is operating normally.

But at night, the guests here are all ghouls; it's a members-only ghoul restaurant.

This place offers customers various types of human dishes made from people who died in different ways. The dishes are all prepared on the spot, emphasizing transparency and freshness.

"Sir, where are we going?"

Although Kaneki Ken followed Ke Ling out, he didn't know where they were going.

"right here."

Ke Ling quickly found the restaurant. From the outside, it was exquisitely decorated, after all, it was the restaurant of the Yue Shan family.

Unlike other ghouls, the Tsukiyama family wields considerable power, even having two branch families in Germany, the Rothwald and Johannes.

Although the Rothswald family had been wiped out a few years earlier by Wassho, who was working for the German GFG at the time, this did not implicate the "Tsukiyama family".

The current head of the "Tsukiyama family," Kaneko Tsukiyama, possesses exceptional personal charisma, extensive connections in political and business circles, and countless followers. The current Prime Minister of Japan is a close classmate of hers.

The "Tsukiyama Family" truly wields enormous influence in human society, representing a group of ghouls who have integrated into the upper echelons of human society.

"Welcome, guest."

Ke Ling and Kaneki Ken's pairing was welcomed by the waiter, but they only entered the "surface" of the restaurant.

The ghoul restaurant owned by "gourmet" Tsukiyama Shuu is members-only, which means that you have to be invited to enter the "inner layer" of the restaurant.

"Sir, what brings us here?"

Kaneki Ken was still full of doubts. This was a normal restaurant, and he hadn't gotten used to eating there yet.

In order to hide themselves in human society, ghouls naturally need to eat. They swallow their food whole without chewing to minimize the feeling of nausea.

As long as they vomit what they've eaten before it's digested, their bodies will generally not be harmed.

"Let me broaden your horizons."

Ke Ling smiled and replied to Kaneki Ken, saying that he was waiting, waiting for the person in charge to come to him.

The arrival of a strange creature—neither human nor ghoul—carrying a "white dove" box, and a ghoul, naturally attracts a lot of attention.

Sure enough, someone soon approached them, not just because their group was special.

Ke Ling and Kaneki Ken didn't order any food; instead, they wandered around the restaurant as if searching for something.

The waiter who just spoke was a ghoul, so seeing this situation, he would naturally hurry up and notify the person in charge.

"Hello, I'm Tsukiyama Shuu. How can I help you?"

A man with purple hair and a red suit approached the two and gave them a gentlemanly bow.

Kaneki Ken felt very embarrassed because he had no idea what he was doing. Now people had come knocking on his door!

Ke Ling narrowed his eyes. It turned out that Yue Shanxi had come in person, which surprised him. Was he disturbing the elegant atmosphere of the banquet?

"Sniff sniff~"

Tsukiyama Shu twitched his nose, and his expression immediately brightened, the annoyance of being disturbed vanishing instantly.
