Chapter 1118 The Alchemist(1/2)
readx;
A week has passed since Wu Jian appeared in an "antique" coffee shop, and the "candy" eaten by the ghouls is almost going to work. As long as they insist on finishing their portion today, even if they don't eat it in the future, they will no longer need to eat human flesh.
Because she was a student, Kirishima Toka went to school early in the morning during class. Because she couldn't eat ordinary food, she didn't bring any bento. However, she had a good friend who was so good that she could use her knives. And that good friend was naturally very heart-warming about her. Seeing that she didn't eat lunch every time, she felt very distressed. I don't know when she made bento for her every day.
Of course, Kirishima Dongka didn't want her true face to be known by her friends, and she didn't want to waste her good intentions. She always pretended to be very delicious and forced herself to swallow the extremely unpalatable food. For this reason, she didn't know how many times she had run to the bathroom... However, she didn't want her friends to see her reluctantly swallowing her. She swallowed all the food every time - if she really couldn't help but vomit, there was nothing she could do.
It was time for lunch today, and Kirishima Dongka's good friend Izuko Kosaka took out two bento as usual. Long before class, Izuko Kirishima had already prepared mentally, so she could smile immediately. However, her heart was almost broken - although it was a good friend's wish, the taste and psychological pressure of not being able to reveal her identity are not weak. She is still so close to Izuko Kosaka, which is enough to show this friendship.
I want to eat it! I want to eat it! I want to...
Unlike hypnotizing yourself at the beginning, Kirishima Toka had long discovered that it was useless, so it would be better to force yourself to swallow it. However, hypnosis that lasts a whole class until the end of the meal is also essential.
"I'm starting!"
Well! Perfect! Then just pretend to be delicious and eat it. Then I can't stand it later and go to the bathroom to swallow it!
There was no problem until the food was picked up with chopsticks and put it in your mouth. Then, at the moment when I entered the mouth, an indescribable smell spread in my mouth. This is of course. The different flavors she had tasted before were only the candy given by Wu Jian, and that was the coffee flavor. How could I know and describe the taste of ordinary meals?
Different! Different! It’s completely different from what I’ve eaten in the past! It’s not that it’s hard to swallow no matter what, but it’s a real deliciousness!
Oh my God! She has never tasted such a delicious food!!!
"Dong Xiang?Dong Xiang?"
"ah!?"
Dongka Kirishima woke up in shock and stared at Kosaka Izuko blankly...What magic did she use?
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Kosaka Izuko asked with concern, and poked her head out. Could it be that she was feeling uncomfortable?
"No, no..." Kirishima Dongka pushed her friend back and asked in confusion: "Am I crying?"
She was indeed crying on her face, but she was sure that this was a tears of happiness. If she had a choice, she wouldn't eat human flesh at all, and that was actually not delicious - Besides, no matter how delicious it is, she would be bored after eating it for so many years.
"Yes, is there anything uncomfortable?"
"No, no! It's just that the bento you made in Yizi is so delicious!"
Kirishima Dongka showed a happy expression from the bottom of her heart, and Kosaka Tsuko could see it, so she stopped pursuing it and became shy instead.
"Really...Dong Xiang, you are too exaggerating..."
Izuko Kosaka was also very happy. Although it was the first time I saw Dongka Kirishima's expression, I don't know if this friend suddenly wanted to make a joke, but as a person who aims as a cooker, this is undoubtedly the best compliment.
However, Kirishima Dongka's mind is no longer here. Although the food is delicious, what is more important is why this situation suddenly occurs. Facts have proved that even adding human meat or coffee to the dish will not change the ghoul's taste. What special recipes can be basically rejected by adding Osaka Izuko's dish.
Think quickly! Think quickly! What different things have happened recently!
Kirishima Dongka immediately wondered if she had eaten something strange, and she was also very anxious. After all, this was not her own business.
When did things start?... The two days ago were off days. I had never eaten human food and could not judge the specific time, but it must be the change that happened in the past few days... But I have not eaten anything else or made in the past few days, except for the candy given by the second disease...
!!!?
Could it be the problem with that candy!? It is possible. After all, it was the first time I felt another taste... It was a different taste from coffee, and the taste was also different. But it was wrong. In the first few days, she also ate ordinary food at school, but the taste did not change at all?
What else!? Apart from those secondary dysfunctions, what else happened to her and nearby? Kaneki? It was indeed an accident, but the one-eyed ghoul is not without previous examples, and it has never been heard that it will affect the taste of ghouls around. Moreover, Kaneki himself cannot eat ordinary food, so it would be too much to affect the ghouls.
But what else? No more! Kirishima Dongka never thought of any possibility, which made her very anxious. What if this was just a Yunhua appeared!? She had let her eat such wonderful food, and would she have to be bloody human flesh and hard to swallow again? More importantly, after eating a bento, she actually felt full and could feel the feeling of gaining energy through eating. This was impossible in the past, because ghouls could not absorb the nutrients from ordinary food. This made her more sure that there had been any changes in her body, and this change was benign, and even if she lost the power of ghouls, she had to stabilize this change!
However, the more she got to be calmer, and if Kaneki said that, he had no place to go, and he could ask clearly when he went back. As for those second-year diseases... Although he was unwilling to admit that it was their relationship, there was probably no problem. The Lolikan came to tease Hinaji every day.
More importantly, in order to avoid this being a dream, she had to taste the taste of normal food to the fullest. She even went to the convenience store to buy a lot of snacks and snatch them in class. Izuko Kosaka was dumbfounded.
"Dong Xiang...you are too exaggerating. Didn't you have breakfast in the morning?"
"It's almost..." Kirishima Dongka said vaguely. She didn't just have breakfast. She hadn't eaten a normal meal since she was born.
Later, seeing her appetite so much, Kosaka Ichiko pulled her to taste delicious food everywhere after school, making her shout that she would not be in vain for her life.
At the same time, there seemed to be a little uneasy in the coffee shop.
"It's really late today." The store manager personally served the coffee. It was still free. Not to mention the gold brick, it wouldn't matter even if he invited Wu Jian and others to drink coffee for a month.
"We also have all kinds of things to do, especially... Forget it, you don't understand it even after you say it. If this matter is not handled properly, it is possible that your world will be destroyed."
If a ghoul is seduced by QB to become a magic girl, who knows what chemical reaction will trigger? Fortunately, the current wild magic girl is controlled, it depends on whether she can get rid of the contract of QB.
hehe......
Apart from smiling, what else can the store manager say? Could it be that he, who is a big old, discuss with Wu Jian how to save the world?
"Speaking of this, Dong Xiang, Hinaki, and Jinmu have not come back yet." Wu Jian asked suddenly.
"Yes, they should come back at this time. I hope there is no accident..." The store manager was also a little worried. After all, it was a ghoul who was out, especially the Himemi and her daughter were in trouble again, so it would be a bad thing if they encountered anything.
"It's indeed a bit bad... Not to mention the ghoul problem, it would be bad if you encounter a qb sensation of magical girls..." Wu Jian locked the table and said to Edward: "You go out and pick them up."
Originally, the store manager was in his heart when he heard Wu Jian say the ghoul, but the magic girl behind him felt powerless again. He didn't even have time to call Edward.
After Edward went out, the store manager asked, "No need... Maybe it's just a place to go."
"Shopkeeper, you have insufficient sense of crisis."
“…”
Wu Jian's plain words made the store manager think. He knew that Himeji and his daughter were in trouble and asked them to run out all day long. This not only made them in trouble, but also exposed the risks here. Maybe after such a long time of stability, as Wu Jian said, he was indeed lacking in crisis awareness.
However, this sentence starts with Wu Jian, the second-year disease, and always makes people laugh and cry. For the second-year disease, isn’t they the final say when there will be a crisis?
In fact, Himi Otokou and Ken Kaneki are indeed in crisis.
Ken Kaneki was just a normal trip to school, but he met the panicked Himemi on the road. After asking, he found out that in order not to arouse suspicion, they still lived as humans as always. Then today, Ryoko Diguchi took Himemi back and ran into the ccg human ghoul search officer on the trail. Needless to say, the situation afterwards must be known, Ryoko Diguchi alone blocked the enemy and asked her daughter to run away first.
Unfortunately, Hinaki Oshiko met Ken Kaneki, a young bird that had been a ghoul for not long, and he was an innocent virgin before, so he didn't know how to deal with this situation. He only knew that Ryoko Oshiko was very dangerous and he had to go to rescue him immediately when he was in danger (in fact, it was indeed true, it would be too late to call someone again when he went back). So he and Hinaki Oshiko Oshiko decided to go back to the scene of the incident.
Fortunately, at the most critical moment, he woke up in time - in fact, he saw Ryoko Thiko confronting two ghoul search officers. The battle scene was too dangerous. He pulled Himi Tehiko to a small alley at the corner, covered the little loli's mouth tightly, and then...
"Hey, two big men besiege a woman, don't you feel ashamed?"
This sound is—!?
Ken Kaneki could hear that the voice was not the voice of the man Yamen Takataro who sounded very gloomy, nor the voice of the herbivorous man Yamen Takataro who could give up even the meat delivered to his mouth, but...
Ken Kaneki boldly glanced out and almost exclaimed.
Edward!? Why are you here? It's so dangerous here, it's not something that can be involved in the second-year disease!!!
"Well~? Who are you? You look like a human... Can't you tell she is a ghoul?" Wu Xu from Mado looked at Edward and judged based on his experience that Edward should not be a ghoul, so he ordered Amen Shintaro: "Amen. Go protect him. If you are taken as a hostage by this ghoul, we will have to kill him."
"Hey, if I was taken as a hostage, shouldn't I find a way to save me??" Edward was the first to complain.
"Hmph, what stupid things are you saying? If you let a ghoul go, do you know how many innocent lives will be killed?"
"I know Ms. Dikou. Basically, I can confirm that this kind of thing will not happen. She only eats the corpse... so can I hand her over to me?"
"Hmm? Do you know this ghoul? Are you also a ghoul?" Wu Xu from Mado dared not be careless. Although he thought Edward was not a ghoul, if the ghouls were so easy to distinguish, they would not have to work so hard to patrol every corner.
"No, no, I am an authentic human. But my profession is just an alchemist."
Alchemist?
With the eyes of Mado Wuxu and Amen Shintaro looking at the same time as Juniori Illness, Edward scratched his head with a wry smile and explained: "I am really an alchemist... and the research is being carried out to make the recipes of ghouls the same as humans. Ms. Tsukiguchi is my helper. Now the experiment is about to succeed. Once successful, ghouls no longer need to swallow human flesh to keep their vitality. It can greatly alleviate the conflict between humans and ghouls, and can also reduce sacrifices. So... give her to me."
Edward stretched out his hand.
"Ha? Of course that's not possible, right?" Wu Xu, a real man, directly rejected it. Who would believe such stupid words?
"Ha~? Why, this is a big deal about the survival struggle between humans and ghouls. It's better if you discriminate against ghouls. This is a good thing that can avoid more human sacrifices! You actually refuse. Could it be that you are a human being??"
As soon as he heard this, Wu Xu, a man, jumped up. He said that he was not good at all. He actually said that he was a rape because his wife was abused and killed!?
"Bastard~~ I really dare to say that you are the traitor who wants to protect the ghoul, right? Yamen, don't be polite, arrest him for me, I will interrogate him!"
"yes!"
Although Katsutaro Amen is unwilling to attack humans, Edward is suspected to be a ghoul after all, and he can understand that no matter who he encounters when dealing with ghouls, he cannot be soft-hearted during the mission.
Seeing the two of them pose, and Ryoko Dikou still had a tendency to protect him, Edward felt troublesome.
"There's no way, since the talks have collapsed-"
Bang!
Edward clasped his hands together, then quickly squatted down and pressed on the ground.
Rumble~~~
There was a loud noise. An iron cage actually emerged from under the feet of Ryoko Dikou, tied her up, and then quickly sank.
"Varied--"
Wu Xu, the reaction of the Madoka Wu Xu, was very quick, but the Kuinke he waved was just brushing the iron cage, and he had no reaction except a string of sparks.
Wuxu, Mado and Katsutaro Amen hurried to the sinking position, but could do nothing.
"Damn it! What kind of ability is this? Who are you??" Wu Xu, a man, asked Edward loudly.
"I? Didn't I say it? Alchemist - now isn't the time to talk about this, it's not over yet."
Varied--
Rumble~~~
To be continued...
