Finally, with Ryuji's sincere request, Ryuji obtained the address of Mrs. Ryoko's husband.
In the evening, Ryuji found Yoshimura Kousan and requested a day off for the next day. Yoshimura Kousan didn't ask Ryuji any further questions and directly approved his day off.
When Mrs. Ryoko learned that Ryuji had taken the day off for the next day, she felt a subtle worry for Ryuji. However, having promised Ryuji not to reveal anything, Mrs. Ryoko still felt that if Ryuji didn't return that day, she would inform Yoshimura Kousan.
Following Mrs. Ryoko's directions, Ryuji first took the subway and then arrived at the border area connecting Zone 20 and Zone 19. This area was far from the city center, belonging to the outskirts. There weren't many tall buildings, and there were many abandoned houses and structures. Overall, the environment here was much worse than at Anteiku.
Fortunately, the subway passed through here, so many common people from the lower strata of society lived here.
Of course, due to its border location and the subway passing through, the population here was extremely mixed, making it very suitable for {Ghouls} to hide. The Ryoko family was one such example.
As Ryuji was searching in this residential area, he soon noticed two people in long coats carrying briefcases. This prompted Ryuji to quickly hide in a side alley.
The appearance of White Wings in this area made Ryuji realize he might have come to the right place. However, Ryuji didn't dare to get too close, as it would easily arouse suspicion.
Just as Ryuji hid in the alley, one of the two White Wings, a hunched figure, suddenly stopped and turned to look behind them.
It was an elderly man with distinct wrinkles on his face and completely white hair that hung down naturally. His eyes were uneven in size, giving him a sickly appearance.
"What is it, Senior Mado?" The other, younger, and tall, well-built White Wing asked the elderly White Wing in confusion.
"Koutarou! My intuition tells me there's a rat behind us!" the White Wing named Mado said to the younger White Wing named Koutarou.
Judging by their ages and the tone of their conversation, they were clearly in a senior-junior relationship. The elderly White Wing, Mado, was likely a seasoned veteran with strong qualifications and abilities, otherwise, he wouldn't have survived in such a dangerous profession.
And judging by Koutarou's tone and attitude when speaking to Mado, Koutarou held great respect for this senior.
Koutarou's heart tightened upon hearing Mado's words. In the past, he would have thought Mado was being overly suspicious. But after following Mado for many years, Koutarou no longer doubted Mado's judgment or intuition.
"Should we go and check it out!?" Koutarou suggested.
"No, our mission is more important! It might be a trap," Mado replied.
After speaking, Mado turned and continued towards their destination.
Ryuji had already taken out a black hooded sweatshirt from his backpack and the fox mask made by Mr. Uta. Ryuji quickly put on the hooded sweatshirt, pulled up the hood, and finally put on the fox mask.
