"Please take care of me!" Touka Kirishima replied indifferently, not seeming to particularly welcome Kaneki Ken.
"Senior Ryuji, my name is Kaneki Ken. Please take care of me!" Kaneki Ken quickly turned to Ryuji. Kaneki Ken felt more willing to interact with Ryuji. This wasn't just because Ryuji had told him he was once human; more importantly, Kaneki Ken felt Ryuji was someone easy to get along with and had even intervened to stop him from eating Hideyoshi Nagachika.
Human nature is like this; people tend to feel a spiritual connection with those who have shared similar experiences.
Hearing this, Ryuji extended his hand to Kaneki Ken and said with a smile, "Kaneki, welcome to Anteiku. Please take care of me!"
Kaneki Ken also proactively shook Ryuji's hand and nodded.
"My name is Irimi Kaya. You can call me Sister Kaya. Welcome to the Anteiku family, Kaneki!" Irimi Kaya also came over and introduced herself to Kaneki Ken.
"My name is Enji Koma. Besides the boss, I'm the most senior here. You can call me Mr. Koma!" Enji Koma, as an elder of Anteiku, also proactively introduced himself to Kaneki Ken.
After Kaneki Ken met everyone at Anteiku, he began his new life at the Anteiku coffee shop.
On his first day of work, Kaneki Ken became quite close with Ryuji. Since Touka Kirishima didn't want to train newcomers, the task of familiarizing Kaneki Ken with the work was assigned to Ryuji.
During this time, Kaneki Ken gossiped and asked about Ryuji and Touka Kirishima's relationship. Ryuji naturally didn't discuss his relationship with Touka Kirishima in detail with Kaneki Ken, only describing it as a rivalry.
In addition to Ryuji's work guidance for Kaneki Ken, Yoshimura Kousan also provided training on brewing various coffees for both Ryuji and Kaneki Ken during his free time.
Furthermore, to enable Kaneki Ken to eat human food under specific circumstances without being rejected by his body and vomiting, Yoshimura Kousan conducted special training for him.
This was actually an essential life skill that {Ghouls} must master. This skill allowed {Ghouls} to avoid suspicion under specific circumstances.
For example, when Touka Kirishima attended school, if she didn't eat every day, it would naturally arouse suspicion among other students, as it's impossible for normal people not to eat.
Therefore, Touka Kirishima had to engage in the act of eating like humans. Although the food was unpalatable and couldn't be digested by Touka Kirishima, it was a necessary action.
Of course, this food would eventually be vomited out by Touka Kirishima, a skill that most {Ghouls} could master.
Half a month later.
It was the beginning of the rainy season. It was raining heavily that day, and due to the time, the shop was empty. The sky outside was gloomy, and the atmosphere inside was very somber.
At this time, only Ryuji, Touka Kirishima, and Kaneki Ken were in the shop. Irimi Kaya and Enji Koma had been given leave by the manager, Yoshimura Kousan.
This was also because with the increase in Anteiku's staff, everyone had more opportunities for staggered days off.
Ryuji was standing behind the counter, leisurely watching a program on television. Kaneki Ken was meticulously wiping the freshly washed coffee cups with a dry cloth.
Touka Kirishima stood near the shop entrance, always ready for customers to arrive.
