What will this make of CCG? Truly, a question that stays on many of the CCG agents and ghouls watching this alternate timeline.

Theories of this had preocupied their minds, resulting in growing terror for the CCG and amusement for ghouls. Well, there were a few exceptions, but that was not important.

Alas, Kumagawa does posses abilities that would greatly hell the CCG. It would be a great thing for them, if not for the boy doing everything on a whim and having quick mood shifts.

Although the revelation of Koutaro's childhood was a shock to many as well. Including Touka, who was staring at the ghoul investigator for a while now.

Touka:Maybe we're not so different...

Rize:Don't you think you're taking sudden conclusions early on, Kirishima-san?

Unlike many, Rize was not moved by Koutaro's backstory. Many people suffer of horrible trauma in their childhood which shapes them in the people they are now, including her.

She's a ghoul, thus she hunts humans. There was no depper meaning or personal reasons to that, simple as that.

Touka sure thinks way too deeply about this. That is, for someone that is not used to thinking.

Touka:Maybe...

A loud clap echoed through the room. Their host, and captor, had once again recalled their attention.

Najimi:Oh my! It seems there are a lot of mixed reactions this time! As a service, your big sister Anshin'in-san will give you something more lighthearted to watch.

Silence filled the room, clearly showing they didn't believe her. After a few moments of unperturbed silence Najimi booed her audience.

Najimi: You guys really think me so cruel that I wouldn't give you a break? Don't you know so many writers use this. Making a filler chapter in between arcs, giving their readers hope of a happy ending...Before crushing it with more trauma!

Koutaro:...Is that what you're doing?

Najimi:Ah! Ah! Ah!

Najimi shook her index finger negatively, emphasizing every "Ah". She then placed said finger against her lips, making a cutesy pose.

Najimi:A girl doesn't plot and tell!

Eto:...Are you one, though?

Najimi:Hm?

Eto:Are you a girl? Or did you just choose to be one?

Najimi:...You know, I have lots of skills that are beyond humanity.

Eto:Yes, we were all made keenly aware of that.

Najimi:Right. So what makes you think that, even though you sit in the back, I can't see you taking notes.

Eto then promptly dropped her notebook and looked away. She even began to whistle after being caught red handed.

Najimi:...I'll let this slide because you remember me of one of my cute not equals. She's a game designer, though.

There comes a time when people decide they want to make something of themselves. A job that is perfect for their personal goal.

For Hideo this was that moment. He had a sort of hobby for a while now, although most would call it unusual.

A sort of playing detective. He'd put tracking devices on people that seemed suspicious and, if the situation turned out to be really dangerous, he'd leak the information to the proper authorities.
