Swoosh!
Kotori: Alright! Descend!
After flying for while Kotori gave the orders for Dagon and Ryugon to descend as they already at their destination, the Council Japan Branch HQ.
Natsuki, Miku & Yuuka: HEY NOT SO FAAAAAST!
Keiko: AHHHHHHHH!
As the two dragons began descending in high speeds all of the girls aside from Kotori were all screaming in fear.
Itsuki: WOOOOOHOOOOO! FASTER!
While Itsuki was just enjoying the ride.
Swoosh!
Very soon Kotori and the two Dragons had landed safely at the airport where the base was secretly in.
Kotori: Are you guys okay???
Before guiding them into the base, Kotori looked behind in horror to see her friends and sister...
Miku: Get me off! I need to go before it's too late!
Yuuka: Argh... Give me a moment I need to focus...
Natsuki: My head is spinning~
Keiko: At least warn u— Bleurgh!
Ryugon: ...
Itsuki: Good thing I've got off.
Kotori's thoughts*
(I definitely should've warned and made some precautions for something like this to happen.)
Kotori: I'm sorry about that everyone— where's Miku?
Natsuki: She went over there.
Following Natsuki's fingers, Kotori looked at a nearby building where Miku was letting go of a huge load of her lunch.
Kotori: Let's wait here for a bit until everyone gets better, if we go in now you'll all just vomit.
Yuuka: Thanks Kotori-san.
Keiko: I'm sorry for making a mess on your back Ryugon-san!
Ryugon: It's alright, it was an accident. But I suggest you get off me right now so I can clean myself.
Kotori: I hope those three are having a less chaotic experience than us.
Meanwhile~
While Kotori's group was suffering from motion sickness. Shino, Sachi and Chikao were doing something nice for Kaneki.
Sachi: Wow you're really good at this Chi-chan.
Chikao: Thanks. Although I'm really surprised you're capable of doing this as well Sachi.
Shino: You two focus, we don't want to cause an accident.
Sachi & Chikao: Yeah, Yeah~
The three of them were giving massages to Kaneki's arms and legs very carefully.
Shino: Hey Kaneki I don't know if you can hear us, but I want to let you know that we're doing okay right now. We're just waiting for you to wake up, so can you please wake up?
Sachi: Heh. That's a good attempt to try and wake him up, but you know it's not going to be that easy.
Shino: I know, but better than nothing.
Chikao: I'm actually quite optimistic, maybe if we massage Kaneki enough he'll wake up.
Sachi: And once Kaneki does let's shower him with hugs!
Shino: Smile~ Yeah. You hear that Kaneki? We'll be spending more time with you and we'll give you some hugs once you wake u—
Shake~
Kaneki's body suddenly shaked for a bit before Shino could finish talking.
All 3: Eh?
And seeing him shake made Shino, Sachi and Chikao more hopeful.
Chikao: Hehe~ Can you hear us Kaneki?
Sachi: It's alright you can go in your own pace.
Shino: We aren't going anywhere.
With reassuring words given to Kaneki, the girls continued to massage them.
Back at the Council Base*
Natsuki, Yuuka, Miku, Itsuki & Keiko: AHHHHHH!
After a few minutes of taking a break, Kotori guided them into the entrance of the base where they were currently falling.
Kotori: Calm down everyone this is just a safety precaution.
Splash!
Swoosh!
Miku: Huh?!
Natsuki: Ground?!
After falling for a few seconds everyone found themselves standing on the floor of the base.
Itsuki: What the heck?! What kind of entrance is that?!
Miku: I feel like I'm going to puke again...
Yuuka: Was falling really necessary?
Kotori: Yes. As we entered through is essentially a trap entrance.
Natsuki: What?! Why???
Kotori: Let's walk to the decontamination room I'll explain on the way. Also Itsuki-chan, Keiko-chan wear these.
Swoosh!
Itsuki & Keiko: Woah!
Kotori: Just in case, these will protect you from being controlled.
Itsuki & Keiko: Thanks.
Kotori: Now then let's go to decontamination.
Kotori then started leading the group to decontamination as she began explaining.
Kotori: What we entered was a trapped entrance, or a one way entrance if you want to call it that.
Natsuki: But why put a trapped entrance?
Kotori: In case of an attack from the Clad of Black Wings.
Yuuka: You guys are really cautious huh?
Kotori: Of course, it would be a surprise to all of you but the Council was for the most in history very outnumbered by the Clad of Black Wings.
All 5: Say what?!
Kotori: Yeah it's true. And if they were to grow continuously by recruiting more and more people consumed by many things such as their desires, the Council would've been doomed.
Itsuki: Yikes. Their growth was that fast???
Kotori: You guys underestimate how greedy some people can be, you all know what happened to the Amazon rainforest many years ago.
Yuuka: Yeah... You got a point.
Kotori: Luckily my family has been keeping their numbers in check while trying to destroy them.
Natsuki: It must've been very hard searching for them.
Kotori: Of course it's not easy, some of their bases were protected via magic and some were located in places people wouldn't normally go.
Keiko: Man luckily they're all wiped out now.
Kotori: Agreed. Kaneki-chan is actually the one who has the most Clad of Black Wings kills ever in our list.
Yuuka: Wait you guys keep tabs on how many Kaneki had killed???
Kotori: Not just him, every Demon Knight even Mama has a record of how many Clad of Black Wings they had slayed.
Natsuki & Miku: What's the purpose of that???
Kotori: Just a way to measure how dangerous they are. And Kaneki-chan is at the top seven most dangerous Demon Knights.
Itsuki: Seven? Who are the other six?
Kotori: Well the seventh place goes to Demon Knight Shimo aka Satsuma Shiho.
Miku: Grandma?!
Kotori: Yup! Our Grandma was able to find and destroy two bases with around 20 thousand Clad of Black Wings members each.
Yuuka: Ohhh~
Natsuki: That's actually interesting.
Since they were still a bit far from the decontamination room, Kotori entertained the group with the top seven most dangerous Demon Knights.
Kotori: Sharing both Sixth and Fifth place are Demon Knights Yurei and Shin, Satsuma Kotarou and Satsuma Azusa.
Yuuka: The Calamity Duo!
Natsuki: Eh? Calamity Duo?
Yuuka: It's what those two were called because Yurei-san and Shin-san have two powers that works so well together.
Keiko: One can control and create powerful storms just by flapping his wings while the other can manipulate and become one with darkness.
Yuuka: Wait you know about them too?
Itsuki: Back when we were kids, Keiko was fascinated by those two when she learned what Demon Knights were.
Natsuki: Wow I really don't know that much about Demon Knights haha~
Miku: I've met the three of them before they passed away, Grandma Shiho was really sweet, Grandpa Kotarou was honestly very cool.
Natsuki: Really?
Miku: Yeah he would sing songs really good mostly rock songs.
Yuuka: Heh! I guess that's why Kaneki named his second body after him.
Miku: Yup! And as for Auntie Azusa...
All 4: Miku/Miku-san?
Miku: She was honestly very sweet towards me but more with Onii-chan.
Keiko: Eh? Seriously?
Yuuka: I can't really blame her but was she really like that?
Miku: Yeah aside from her training him bow to kick and work on his "finisher attacks" she would actually spoil both me and Onii-chan a lot.
Yuuka: Awe~ That's so sweet—
Kotori: Ahem!
All 5: S-Sorry.
Kotori: No it's alright, I'm happy you're all talking about my family in a positive way mostly you Miku.
Miku: Hehe~
Kotori: But I'll continue with my facts again, anyways. Yurei or Grandpa had destroyed around 3 secret bases and killed over at least 100 thousand Clad of Black Wings.
Itsuki: Woah! That's a lot!
Kotori: You all wanna know how he did it?
All 5: Nod~
Kotori: Well he had brew up a really strong storm around Europe, one that had messed with their magic and technical ways to hide those bases and when he sensed them through the storm Grandpa well... Let's say devour them in one go.
Yuuka: Woah.
Kotori: And it was only around 70 thousand, the other 30 thousand in his recorded kills we're done by his very hands in his early years.
Natsuki: Wow.
Kotori: And as for his little sister Aka Kaneki-chan's and My Great Aunt, Azusa Satsuma she made her record all by hand.
Yuuka: So she killed many with her own two hands?
Kotori: And Swords, yes. Around her early years alongside her brother she had killed over at least 10 thousand Clad of Black Wings, it was mostly due to Grandpa hogging all the kills.
Miku: Hogging??
All five were was surprised upon hearing that Kaneki's and Kotori's Grandpa would do such a thing.
Kotori: Well he is Kaneki-chan's Grandpa, just like Kaneki-chan, Grandpa was very over protective of those he loves so whenever he's on missions with Great Aunt Azusa, he'd steal her kills all just to protect her.
Miku: So if that's the case... Wait actually you haven't told us her record yet.
Kotori: I almost forgot Haha~ Yeah her record was 109 Thousand.
All 5: THAT'S HUGE!!!
Surprised to hear her bigger number of kills compared to her brother, the five gotten more curious.
Kotori: If you're wondering how her kills is a bit bigger than Grandpa, you'd be more surprise for the reason. And that reason was actually Mama.
Natsuki, Yuuka, & Miku: Tohru-san/Tohru-Mama?!
Kotori: Yup after she was born, from what Great Aunt told me she felt like she needed to protect Grandpa and Grandma's new life so she went rogue.
Yuuka: Rogue... Wait I know of this, she went on a killing spree with two new swords, ones that essentially turned her into a monster.
Kotori: Yup and you all had seen them in action as well.
Miku: The Dual Death Swords, Dread and Sorrow.
Kotori: Yup. And these two forbidden Demon Knight Weapons heightened her awareness, so she used them to turn herself into what we call Shin Berserker Dragon, and compared to her normal Shin Dragon form this one can can appear with the slightest shadow so she used her new power to locate and destroy around 3 bases with her own hands, and she did all in a blind rage as well.
Miku: Wow.
Itsuki: Man this is really fun.
Kotori: Yeah. Oh! Let's continue this chat later with Sachi-chan, Shino-chan and Chi-chan.
The entire group had reached the Decontamination room, so Kotori decided to stop her story time momentarily.
Yuuka: Alright then.
Natsuki: So after we're done here... The other side is where.
Kotori: Yup, That trash will be waiting.
All 5: ...
Kotori: Alright everyone let's go in.
A few minutes later~
Swoosh~
After entering decontamination and suiting up in protective gear, the group had entered the area where Ryueki was being held.
Kotori: We've put him into solitary confinement, but Papa had arranged Interrogation for him every day around 5-6 p.m and he's currently interrogating him.
Natsuki: Did he talked the last time you've been here?
Kotori: Sadly not, but with you three here we probably might get more information.
Yuuka: Speaking of which, is that it?
Yuuka pointed towards a white room behind a wall of glass with people looking through another wall of glass that showed a very red room.
Kotori: Yes that the place, that's the observation room for the solitary confinement. It also looks like Papa is intensifying his Interrogation.
They walked closer until they reached the door, but before entering Kotori gave them a warning.
Kotori: I'll warn you guys just this once, you'll see some very disgusting and disturbing things in there and you'll probably be traumatized.
Itsuki: How bad can it be?
Keiko: Yeah?
Kotori: Well you'll see Papa well... Destroying some butt and probably rip out internal organs and many other things.
Yuuka: I'm fine with it.
Natsuki: Could we just use blindfolds?
Kotori: We don't have any available.
Natsuki: Crap. There's no choice then.
Miku: Let's go in.
Kotori: Are you all sure?
All 5: Nod~
Kotori: Alright.
Kotori led the group into the observation room, and the Council members in immediately greeted them before making way for them to observe.
Miku: Dad?
And to their horror they watched as Atsuo was torturing Ryueki in a very disgusting manner.
Keiko: OH MY!
His ribs were ripped out and turned backwards with his lungs hanging on them and his arms were spread across.
As well as his entire vertebrae dangling towards the ground like a tail.
Atsuo: How does it feel to be a blood dragon?
Ryueki: Groan~!
Atsuo: Just tell us what we need and I'll stop doing this to you, it's that easy you bastard.
Miku: Ah—
Yuuka: I-Is that really uncle???
Itsuki & Keiko: Scary.
Miku: ...
Everyone was shocked after seeing how ruthless Atsuo was towards Ryueki.
Kotori: Okay let's begin.
Kotori approached a microphone with a button beside it, she then used it and began talking through it.
"That's enough Papa, I want to try something else"
Atsuo: Kotori? What are you doing here?
"I've brought some help for the Interrogation, don't worry I didn't forced them"
Kotori: Alright I'm turning off the one way mirror.
With a press of a button the other side of the other side of the one way mirror became visible from inside the solitary confinement.
Atsuo: What are they doing here?
"They'll be helping us so I suggest you leave the room now Papa, as of right now that thing is unconscious so it needs repairs before we can start"
Atsuo looked at Ryueki and noticed he was mo longer reacting, but after looking at his exposed lungs he knew he was still alive.
Atsuo: Got it.
Following his daughter's order, Atsuo left the room.
Atsuo: I'll get cleaned up, I'll be back.
Atsuo then headed to decontamination to get cleaned before the Interrogation can restart.
Kotori: Right, time to fix this trash for a bit.
Kotori took out what looked like a stop watch.
Yuuka: Wait what's that?
Yuuka: It's Great Grandma's watch it has the power to reverse time in any chosen area, it's one of the few items I copy from. You've all seen me used it before too.
Miku: I don't recall seeing you use it.
Kotori: Eh whatever, anyways.
Press!
Upon pressing the button, Ryueki's body began reversing and all of the damage his body received during Atsuo's Interrogation disappeared.
Kotori: Okay you three be ready, that thing will probably wake up in a few minutes.
Natsuki, Yuuka & Miku: Nod~ We got It.
A few minutes later~
After a few minutes had passed Atsuo joined everyone in the observation room while Ryueki was tied tightly onto a chair.
Ryueki: Groan~
Atsuo: Looks like he's waking up, are you sure about this Kotori?
Kotori: Yes.
Ryueki: Ngh... What the hell?
With Ryueki fully woken up and he was surprised to see everyone behind what he thought was a wall.
Ryueki: Heh! Did you miss me that much?
And upon seeing Natsuki, Yuuka and Miku he arrogantly made a twisted smile with an arrogant tone.
Kotori: Alright the mic is yours girls.
Natsuki, Yuuka & Miku: Nod~
After taking the mic, Natsuki talked first.
"Let's get straight to the point, we know you were there when Kaneki was attacked."
Ryueki: Tch! Still on about that stupid mob character, I already told you I was home when that happened.
"We also know you've been working with someone, someone who could possibly be in your head"
Ryueki: Tch! So what? You don't have any evidence that I was involved—
Natsuki: Kaneki told me.
Ryueki: What?
Ryueki's arrogant tone immediately disappeared after hearing Kaneki's name.
Ryueki: How the hell is he awake?
As well as being surprised to learn that he was awake, at least that was what he believed.
Yuuka: Natsuki.
Natsuki: Sure, go ahead.
Natsuki then handed the mic to Yuuka.
"Why wouldn't he? He has been recovering really well the past week"
Yuuka told a lie to throw off Ryueki.
Ryueki: How the hell is he awake?
"Did you really think he'd be taken out that easily?"
Miku: My turn.
Miku then took the mic and followed Yuuka's lead.
"That's right! He is awake and alive right now!"
Ryueki: That's impossible!!
Ryueki was getting visibly more stressed the more they say that Kaneki was awake.
Ryueki: THAT SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE!
"But it's true, Onii-chan wouldn't let someone destroy him that easily"
Natsuki: Alright let me do this, he's probably going to explode soon.
Miku: Nod~
Natsuki took back the mic to land the final blow.
Ryueki: This has to be lie, my story was supposed to be fixed!
"You really are delusional"
Ryueki: ?!?!
"What? Did you think by taking out Kaneki I'd magically be interested in you? That I would love you?"
Ryueki: Tch!
"You are a horrible person, you used others and when they aren't useful to you anymore you'd just throw them away. Who'd love someone like that?"
At that Ryueki exploded in anger.
Ryueki: WHATS THE PROBLEM WITH THAT?! THE HEROINES ARE SUPPOSED TO LOVE FOR THE PROTAGONIST AND LOVE HIM MATTER WHAT! I DESERVE TO BE LOVED NO MATTER WHAT I DO!
"I'm not going to entertain you in your tantrum, so I'll say this clearly face reality, you were never a protagonist to begin with and never will"
Ryueki: YOU BITCH! JUST YOU WAIT! ONCE I GET OUT OF HERE I'LL MURDER THAT MOB CHARACTER MYSE—
Thud!
Everyone: Huh?!
As Ryueki was yelling his body suddenly went limp.
???: Hahaha~
And what came after was a sinister laugh from his body.
???: That was very VERY entertaining.
And a deep voice that was not Ryueki's.
???: You all really fooled Itadori Ryueki that easily? Hahahaha!
Seeing him act completely differently, Natsuki moved back from the mic completely startled.
Natsuki: I think it worked.
Kotori: It really did! That's his other personality!
Itsuki: Are you sure?
Keiko: It definitely is Itsuki! He referred to him as if he was a different person!
???: That's correct because I am a different person.
Everyone: !!!
Everyone raised their guards as the person who is now controlling Ryueki's body could hear them behind the glass, something that shouldn't be possible.
???: You don't need to worry, right now I'm very powerless... After what I had done to that little emperor of yours.
He said in mocking tone as he mentioned Kaneki.
Kotori & Atsuo: WHAT DID YOU DO KANEKI-CHAN/MY SON?!
Atsuo and Kotori immediately got furious upon hearing that person mention Kaneki saying that he had done something to him.
???: Haha~ You want to know so badly? Fine I'll tell you since there's nothing you can do anyways.
The person controlling Ryueki continued to smile as he revealed what he did to Kaneki.
???: I destroyed half of his soul.
Everyone: !!!
Yuuka: No... No! That can't be true!
???: Oh but it is, it wasn't easy because of how hard it was to control you girls but I had succeeded haha~
Miku: Con... trol? What... What are you saying?
???: Oh you all haven't figured it out huh? Haha! I thought you'd all figure it out by now! You two girls used to be in love with Itadori Ryueki remember?
Yuuka & Miku: That was a mistake!
???: But did you ever wondered why?
Natsuki: What is he talking about?
???: You did, didn't you? "Why did I fall in love with him?" "Why did my old feelings for my Onii-chan come back when I saw him" or something like that right?
Yuuka & Miku: !!!
???: One of you were even thinking about the benefits of being with him since he was wealthy.
Yuuka: ...
Both Yuuka and Miku were feeling guilty as they remembered their old feelings towards that were wrong.
Atsuo: No... Don't tell me.
And somehow Atsuo seem to have grasped what the other person was saying.
Kotori: Papa? What's wrong?
???: Oh my, oh my did you figured it out father of that little so-called emperor?
Atsuo: Tch! You... YOU DIDN'T!
???: Oh yes I did. I've put these girls and many others under my curse.
Everyone: Curse?!
Everyone in the room were completely shocked, Yuuka and Miku were the most confused out of everyone.
Miku: Spell?
Yuuka: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!
???: Haha~ what else? I've placed a spell on you all when you first saw him, I gave you all false desires and reawaken old feelings and twisted them so you'd fall for Itadori Ryueki.
Yuuka & Miku: Then... That would mean...
Natsuki: Miku? Yuuka?
The two of them stared at the floor once they realized.
Miku's old feelings towards her previous brother that resurfaced, and Yuuka's desire to be with Ryueki over monetary gain and his looks.
They didn't feel that way because they really had fallen for Ryueki.
It was because they were put under a spell.
Atsuo: YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU—
Kotori: Papa wait!
As Atsuo was about to storm into the solitary confinement to kill Ryueki and the person in control of him at the moment.
Kotori stopped him.
Atsuo: Kotori why?!
Kotori: From what he was saying... That would mean...
???: Oh you realized it Artificial Child?
Kotori: Tch. Yeah that thing over there, he existed a longer time before Kaneki-chan beaten up that trash.
???: That's right I did, and I was guiding Itadori Ryueki all this time it was very fun seeing him crush the hopes and kill so many people over the years haha~
Natsuki's thoughts*
(What? He was guiding him? That would've meant that ever since we were kids... He was putting other girls in a spell?)
???: Although I am impressed, how could you girls broke my spell—
Natsuki: Why? What's your goal?
Natsuki stepped forward to question the person in control.
???: Oh you want to know? little heroine? Well... I'M NOT OBLIGATED TO TELL YOU HAHAHAHAHA!
Natsuki: Tch! ANSWER ME!
???: Nah I won't. It looks like times up, but remember... We WILL see each other again haha~
Thud!
And so Ryueki's body had fallen to the side with the other person now going inactive.
Natsuki: Damnit!
Kotori: Yeah...
Atsuo: How dare he manipulate your feelings— Miku? Yuuka?
Atsuo looked worriedly at Miku and Yuuka as they stared at the floor in horror.
Yuuka: I knew it... I knew that voice in my head wasn't me hahaha...
Miku: ...
Miku was silent while Yuuka was seemingly going crazy.
Natsuki: Yuuka calm down...
Kotori: Everyone let's head back to decontamination, and after that we're going home.
With their Interrogation now over, Kotori decided for them to return.
