Simultaneous travel: Not eating beef

"Teacher, could you share your experience in pursuing girls?"

In the school convenience store, Shiraha and Kaneki Ken were chatting by the window.

In response to Kaneki Ken's question, Bai Yu smiled slightly and said, "Kaneki, why are you suddenly asking this? Is it because you have someone you like recently?"

Upon hearing this, Kaneki blushed slightly, regretting his sudden question.

After thinking for a moment, he lowered his head, blushing, and said, "Uh... well, recently... recently I met a girl, and I... I want to pursue her, but I..."

Bai Yu replied, "Is that so? But you probably won't need my experience."

Kaneki Ken immediately said, "Wait for the horn, it's better than nothing."

"Hehe." Bai Yu chuckled, "Then let me tell you, when I'm pursuing a girl, I usually just ask for her contact information, and then..."

Jinmu listened intently, afraid of missing a single word.

After a pause, Bai Yu continued, "I asked them if they wanted to be my girlfriends, and they agreed."

That's all?

Kaneki Ken was initially full of anticipation, but when he saw that Shiraha didn't say anything more, he immediately understood.

Meeting his bewildered gaze, Bai Yu patted his shoulder and said, "See, I told you my experience doesn't apply to you."

In all my years, only two girls have let me chat with them for a few days longer than others; with the others, I just asked a few questions and that was it.

Actually, when it comes to pursuing girls, all you need to do is be brave. If you're brave enough, you'll find that...

Nobody likes you at all.

Kaneki: (?｀w′?)

"Haha, just kidding. If you really have a girl you like, then be brave and go after her. After all, how will you know the result if you don't try?"

Bai Yu: Try it and you'll die.

Rize is furious right now, and if Kaneki joins in, things will only get worse than in the original story.

Bai Yu dared not go to the coffee shop anymore, fearing that Rize would fight him to the death.

She probably left that night because she saw Aite arrive; otherwise, she would have definitely fought me to the death afterwards.

Finally receiving crucial encouragement, Kaneki Ken was greatly inspired.

Yes, if you don't dare to try, you'll never know the outcome.

Just give it a try...

That day, Kaneki Ken and Hide came to the coffee shop, and Rize was still in that corner.

After Hide left, Kaneki Ken boldly went to strike up a conversation.

Just then, Rize was reading Ete's book, and Kaneki Ken found a topic to talk about.

However, this familiar start made Rize, even though she outwardly went through with it, unconsciously frown.

It seems that even that scoundrel used this book to start a conversation and flirt!

Kaneki successfully struck up a conversation and extended a date invitation.

He was very nervous, afraid of being rejected.

Surprisingly, Rize agreed.

The time was set for Saturday, and Kaneki couldn't wait to share the news with Shiraha after returning to school.

Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye, and Kaneki successfully went on a date with Rize.

After spending a day together, Kaneki became even more certain that she was a good girl and that he had to become her boyfriend.

It's not safe for a girl to be out at night, so he'll act as her protector and escort Rize back home.

Once they arrived at the remote place, Rize couldn't wait to reveal her true nature.

She was starving, so she ate very hard.

Just as they were ravaging the metal, the steel structure above them suddenly snapped, and several giant steel beams fell down.

"boom!"

The earthquake trembled, and she was buried at the very back, with only half of her face showing.

“How…how could this be…” Rize murmured in disbelief.

In her hazy state, she saw a pair of leather shoes appear.

Looking up, I saw that scoundrel.

Bai Yu knelt down and gently stroked her face, saying, "Rize, how could you be so careless? Are you alright?"

Are you okay?

Why don't you try and see if anything's wrong?

No time to argue with him, Rize, tears streaming down her face, pleaded, "Save...save me."

After all, she was an S-class ghoul, and even this level of damage didn't completely destroy her internal organs.

At this moment, he only needs to eat a bite of Bai Yu's flesh to recover completely.

Bai Yu stroked her face and said, "Don't worry, I will save you."

Rize's consciousness was already blurred, and she no longer had the strength to call for help.

In her last moments of consciousness, she only saw Bai Yu pull out a phone and say, "A hospital, huh? Yes, we need an ambulance here..."

Huh, an ambulance?

……

"Ouch...it hurts so much."

When Kaneki Ken woke up again, he was already in the hospital.

There was no oxygen tank to give him oxygen because his body had already recovered.

After surgery and a period of rest, all that remained on his body was a scar and some discomfort from lying down for too long.

"Creak!"

The door opened, and the nurse walked in. She stared at him, momentarily stunned, and then shouted and ran out to call for help.

It wasn't until the doctor explained the situation to him that he realized he had actually experienced such a thing.

What about Rize?

Was it a dream or reality?

Is it a dream?

How could Rize be a ghoul? It must be a dream that happened after we were both hit, the pain...

He couldn't resist lifting his clothes and found that only his abdomen still had a scar.

In fact, even this scar can heal as long as he eats a single bite.

He only stayed in the hospital for a few days. During that time, Bai Yu and Ying visited him once, and then he was discharged.

When he got home, he was hungry and wanted to eat something, but he found that all the food had become unpalatable.

He saw news about ghouls on TV, and his own eye.

From this moment on, he was a ghoul.

Overwhelmed by fear and despair, he ran to the busiest street in Tokyo.

The streets were full of people and the air was filled with delicious aromas. He stared at the exposed necks of passersby and felt an urge to pounce on them and tear them apart.

He broke down in tears and ran into the alley...

A few days later, he returned to campus, but he was absent-minded and even Ying had difficulty communicating with him.

He was sitting on the same bench, lost in thought.

"Kaneki, you haven't been doing well lately." Bai Yu suddenly sat down next to him.

“Teacher,” Kaneki replied blankly.

Bai Yu said, "Is it because of that injury that made you feel so bad?"

Kaneki, sometimes you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself. You should learn from Hide and become more cheerful.

Since some things are beyond our control, we might as well try to accept them. Perhaps we'll see a different world, and perhaps there will be a better outcome.

If you can't accept yourself, others won't accept you either, and the world's malice will come crashing down on you.

Kaneki was stunned again; he seemed to understand yet also seemed not to.

Why would my teacher say these things to me?

Are you just trying to comfort me?

but……

Accept yourself, accept the fact that you have become a ghoul?

Muli!

how can that be!

I am a perfectly normal person!

Why, why did I become like this?
