144th ward

5: almost?

Kisa: this is the damn big house.

Nishiki: not bad.

Kisa: that old man is rich. This is the key to the anteiku cafe. Open it or not is your choice. Address on the paper.

Yoshimura: kuniya...

Kisa: oh. Everything looks exactly the same. Almost. Anything unsatisfied tell me. I'll get it done. I'll charge it on my uncle.

Yoshimura: arigato

*rumble*

Kisa: someone will pick you guys up for a tour. Bye.

Kisa walked out of the door. After a while a guy walked through the door.

Ken: uta... you're here?

Uta: yea. I'm part of kisa's yoruzuya.

Touka: when did you arrive?

Uta: long time. I have 2 job places.

Touka: I see.

Uta: let's go. I'll bring you guys to a place to eat.

Rin tugged onto touka's shirt 'erm...'

Touka: you guys go first.

Hide: let's go. I'll be fine.

Ken: hide... you sure?

Uta: don't worry I know a good place.  Humans can come too.

The shop looked a little old. It was a roadside stall that had one side row seats. They all took seats and the shop owners greeted them.

'Oh. Uta. Where's your girlfriend?'

Uta: she's not my girl. She's my sister.

'Hai.hai. ale. 3 humans. Yiya bring the human menu.'

The girl went and took the menu 'which?'

'This and that and that. '

Yiya passed the menu to rin, kimi amd hide. 'Do you need boards?'

Kimi: boards?

Yiya: you know to block you from seeing their food. Some people can't stand the sight of it.

Rin: please.

Hide: me too...

Kimi: it's fine.

Yiya: eh... who's the lucky ghoul boyfriend?

Kimi blushed ' eh... why say that?'

Yiya: only girlfriends will tolerate it neh.

Kimi: well.... not really like that. There must also be other girls out there...

Yiya: hai hai.*giggles* don't worry. Human food are all prepared by me this human. Totally safe.

Nishiki: I'm blessed aren't I?

'6 servings coming up.'

The flesh were all in slices like sushi except they were human meat.

Uta: they're aren't loped from alive humans. None were killed to get these. None were harmed.

Reiji: how can that be?

Uta: they cultivate human cells and than accelerate the growing making human flesh. So they are human flesh just not loped off from alive ones.

Ken: somehow... I feel better when you say that.

Hide: kind of advance technology huh.

Uta: hyaku yonju yon is a different world from the outside.

Touka: than... why not make it known to the world? To all the ghouls?

Uta: there is a catch.

Yoshimura: what catch?

Uta: it doesn't concern you guys *smile* eat.

Yiya: deh... what made you stay?

Hide: I wanted to know about this place. So I came.

Yiya: oh. Brave. How about you?

Rin: I was... forced here.

Yiya: forced? By who?

Rin: erm... kisa.

Yiya; eh... that's mean. Uta, do something about your girlfriend.

Uta: she's my sister.

Ken: but... the last names are different...

Uta: sworn siblings.

Yiya: Do you like here?

Rin: I'm... scared. How come you're not?

Yiya: scared? There's nothing to be scared about. What to be scared?

Rin: maybe you know...

Yiya: its the same above and here anyway. Just that above the ghouls are concealed.

'Its less likely to get eaten here. Everyone eats artificial flesh nah.'

Yiya: almost everyone.

Rin: almost?

Yiya: eat eat. You have your ghoul friends. You'll be fine. *smiles*
