Tokyo Ghoul: Fusion of Madara! Unlimited Moonlight Reading.

Logically speaking, Akira Mado should have refused directly. After all, he had rejected the invitations of Yukinori Shinohara and Ui Gun before. But this time, Akira Mado agreed?

If Mado Akira refuses, Tianyu Baiye can also directly decline.

Now Mado Akira agreed...

Although it's a bit embarrassing, it's not a difficult thing to do.

"Okay, but I guess I'll only eat a moderate amount."

Tianyu Baiye's train of thought suddenly came to his senses.

There are not only two choices: accept or refuse. He can choose to accept but eat less, so that he will not fail to fulfill his promise with Kamishiro Rize.

"Oh! Tianyu Shang also agreed!"

To the young girl's surprise, they went to a nearby nightclub.

We ordered some wine and some BBQ skewers inside and sat down to drink and chat.

"Sigh... Really, when will I be promoted to Second-Class Investigator~"

After drinking for a while, the young girl suddenly started complaining, and her tone sounded a little drunk.

"It seems Xiaoyu is already drunk."

The middle-aged man who was the boss beside him said with a smile: "Xiaoyu's alcohol tolerance is actually very poor. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

After the casual chat just now, Tianyu Baiye already had a general idea of ​​the two of them.

The drunk young girl was Xiao Lin Yu, a third-class investigator who had been in the job for less than a year.

His superior is Senior Investigator Nakamura Yoshino.

Normally speaking, Kobayashi Yu really couldn't be promoted to a second-class investigator within a year. After all, apart from Tianyu Baiye, the only ones who could achieve this promotion speed were Arima Takashi and Suzuya Juuzou.

Even most investigators are still stuck at the "first-class" position until retirement, which shows that it is not easy to get promoted in CCG.

"It's okay, as long as you enjoy drinking."

Tianyu Baiye said casually.

"Promotion is not something that the Inspector needs to care about."

At this time, Mado Akira, who was sitting next to Tianyu Baiye, suddenly spoke.

"Mado-ni-den, I also want to have my own 'Quinque' like you!"

Xiao Linyu's face, which was slightly red due to being drunk, showed an expression of envy, and his eyes flashed with expectation.

Even though she was already drunk, she poured herself another drink, as if to drown her sorrows.

"Nakamura-san, wouldn't you advise Kobayashi-san to drink less?"

Tianyu Baiye immediately asked Nakamura Yoshino.

"That's okay. Xiaoyu is always like this. No matter how drunk she gets, she'll be completely fine the next day. I've restricted her to drinking only once a week, so let her drink to her heart's content."

Nakamura Yoshino said.

Tianyu Baiye didn't say anything more.

It's normal for a new investigator to yearn for a promotion, but a promotion isn't always a good thing...

"With promotion comes increased responsibility. Even if there are things you don't want to do, you have to do them. Strong will and clear goals are what's most important; position level is secondary."

At this time, Mado Akira sipped his wine glass and said lightly.

However, when Mado Xiao was halfway through his speech, Xiao Lin Yu had already passed out drunk and seemed to have fallen asleep on the table. It was estimated that she did not hear what Mado Xiao said to her, and even if she heard it, she might have forgotten it the next day.

"..."

Seeing his subordinates drinking like this, Nakamura Yoshino was already used to it. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I'll take Xiaoyu back first. Tianyu Shangshang and Zhenhu Ershang should also rest early."

"Okay, then take your time."

Tianyu Baiye nodded.

Afterwards, Yoshino Nakamura helped Kobayashi Yu back.

Seeing that Mado Xiao was still drinking, Tianyu Baiye looked at the time and saw that it was only around 8:30, so he was not in a hurry to go back.

He just drank a little and ate a few skewers of barbecue, but it seemed that Mado Akira had drunk quite a lot, right?

If he remembered correctly, Mado Akira wasn't a very good drinker either.

"Xiao, you should drink less too."

At this time Tianyu Baiye gave some advice.

"Um..."

Mado Akira responded casually.

Tianyu Baiye couldn't help but glance at Mado Akira, and found that Mado Akira's eyes looked obviously not as energetic as usual, and his condition was a little abnormal.

"You...what's that look?"

At this time, Mado Akira noticed Tianyu Baiye's gaze, leaned his elbows on the table, and glanced at him with his head down.

It seems that Mado Akira's keen intuition is still there, but there is no doubt that he is drunk.

"Is promotion really unimportant, in your opinion?"

Tianyu Baiye spoke tentatively.

The purpose was to test whether Mado Akira was drunk.

"..."

Mado Akira was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Dad has the ability and sufficient achievements, but he is still in the position of 'Senior Investigator'. Because of this, some people in CCG look down on him and laugh at him as a 'stupid Quinque maniac' who will never be promoted. Dad never explained it to others. He only told me that revenge has nothing to do with position. As long as you have a firm will and a clear goal, you will succeed..."

"You just mentioned that promotions also bring responsibilities and burdens, so Mr. Mado probably doesn't want to be promoted for this reason, not because he's not qualified for it, right?"

Tianyu Baiye responded.

"Yes, you know my father quite well."

Mado Akira gave a slight wry smile, "But I don't really agree with that. Although Dad was obsessed with revenge on the 'One-Eyed Owl' who killed Mom, he always took good care of me. He probably gave up the promotion for me..."

"..."

Tianyu Baiye was basically certain that Mado Akira was drunk.

You can tell from the words and tone she uses that she doesn't usually talk like that.

"If he had been promoted to a position commensurate with his merits, instead of having to consider me, he wouldn't have been ridiculed by those guys, and he might even have achieved the revenge he's always been obsessed with."

Mado Akira continued to confide, "I actually hope that I can stand on my own sooner rather than later so that my father won't have to worry about me all the time. So even though I just said that to Xiaoe, deep down I still hope to get promoted as soon as possible."

"Little Goose? Wait, the girl just now is called Xiaoyu, Xiaolinyu."

Tianyu Baiye immediately corrected him: "So, Xiao, you are indeed drunk, right?"

"I'm not drunk~"

Mado Akira immediately denied it.

But her tone betrayed her.

"Drunk people generally won't admit they're drunk. Stop drinking while you're still conscious. It's time to go home..."

However, before Tianyu Baiye could finish his words, he saw Mado Akira slumped on the table with a dazed look on his face.

"Hey...Xiao...don't fall asleep yet!..."
