In the speeding car, Koutarou Amon eyes were fixed on the car in front of him, and his face was also a little nervous. After all, it should be known that the average speed of the convoy was over 100, and one mistake could lead to a car crash and death. But Kureo Mado, who was in the passenger seat, seemed to be completely oblivious and was just holding his phone and discussing the next course of action with Lancer.
"The advance team is already on the way. If nothing goes wrong, when our convoy reaches the outskirts of the 'Ghoul Restaurant,' we'll probably be discovered. At that time, those ghouls will probably escape, so..."
"I'll do my best to hold them back!"
"No! There's no need for that. Although the number of ghouls in the 20th ward is a little less than in other wards, anyone who has the qualifications or the ability to create a 'Ghoul Restaurant' is at least an S-rated ghoul. With your strength, you might be able to hold them back, but I don't think you can last long against an attack from the other ghouls. Now that 'Binge Eater' has been suppressed, 'Jason' is an outsider, so it's not surprising that that place is 'Gourmet's' territory. So I'm asking you to grab onto 'Gourmet's' tail! If I'm not mistaken, the 'lead' you're looking for should be on him."
Lancer knew about the Tsukiyama family because he knew the 'plot,' but Kureo Mado obviously didn't. He was able to infer the situation with a high degree of accuracy just from some fragmented information and his own guesses. It was truly terrifying, but as an ally, he was undoubtedly perfect.
"Yes!"
And just as the CCG investigators were deploying their troops, on the other side, in a private room of the 'Ghoul Restaurant,' Shuu Tsukiyama was constantly rinsing his body with cold water.
But even with the cold water rinsing his body, Shuu Tsukiyama still felt his blood boiling.
'This is great! This is great!! This is absolutely amazing!! This is a feeling I've never experienced before!!'
For ghouls, eating was just to 'live.' In reality, no matter how they cooked it, it would only make the taste worse. Rather than enjoying the 'taste,' he was enjoying the twisted sense of pleasure through his mouth.
"Click~"
"Master Shuu."
But just as Shuu Tsukiyama was immersed in that twisted sense of pleasure and was almost reaching his climax, a voice pulled him back to reality. Immediately, an extremely unpleasant expression appeared on his face, but because of the owner of the voice, he rarely suppressed his temper.
"Kanae-kun? I think I've said this before, haven't I? Unless it's something necessary, I don't like to be disturbed."
"Yes! Master! But the situation is quite urgent. Please allow me to report to you."
Shuu Tsukiyama, who came out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around him, didn't care about Kanae, who was half-kneeling on the ground. After all, both of them had long been accustomed to it.
"Go ahead, what's going on?"
"According to the report from our 'eyes' nearby, a convoy is approaching us at high speed. It should arrive here in about ten minutes. Although we are still checking the specific information, it is highly likely to be the 'CCG'."
"Hmm... it seems that my choices before were very wise~ Those ordinary people are simply the 'blind spots' of those investigators. But I didn't expect the CCG to actually find this place... Is there a traitor? Kanae-kun, please take care of the subsequent screening."
The so-called 'eyes' were not ghouls but ordinary humans. However, this didn't mean that they had betrayed humanity because even they didn't know who had hired them. Most of them just thought this was an underground casino or something similar.
While narcissistically lamenting his foresight, Shuu Tsukiyama changed his clothes with Kanae's assistance. After spending a few minutes getting dressed, he adjusted his hairstyle in the mirror before showing a brilliant smile.
"Kanae-kun, please notify the people we know to leave in advance."
"What about the rest..."
"Hehe~ Let the rest stay here. The CCG finally found this place, so we have to give them a little something, don't we?"
For the psychologically twisted Shuu Tsukiyama, this 'Ghoul Restaurant' was nothing more than a product of his whim. Although it was a pity to give it up, his rationality had already told him that giving it up was the best choice, and he chose to follow his rationality. As for the ghouls he 'abandoned'?
Of course, it wasn't because he was kind and wanted to increase the achievements of the CCG investigators. It was because he knew better than anyone how terrifying the CCG was when it operated at full capacity. Giving those investigators 'a ladder' to step down by giving up the lives of some ghouls who weren't even his subordinates was simply the best choice. After all, those small-time players didn't know any information. They were just a bunch of flies attracted by the light.
And almost at the same time Kanae got the news from Shuu Tsukiyama and notified some other 'upper-class people,' they all made the same choice—to leave quietly.
However, no one expected that an 'accident' would happen at this moment.
"Ah ah ah~!!!"
The 'main course' today was originally Ken Kaneki, but under Shuu Tsukiyama's intervention, Ken Kaneki was sent back to the 'Anteiku coffee shop.' As for the rest of the people, they were sharing the executioner of Madam A. But no one expected a scream to suddenly sound.
Because similar screams were already present in the 'Ghoul Restaurant,' no one paid much attention, only thinking that the 'kitchen' was preparing the 'ingredients.' But as the screams became more and more frequent and closer, everyone finally noticed that something was wrong.
A ghoul standing on the periphery stood up and wanted to go check it out, but when he stood up, all he saw was a cold flash————————
"Bang~!"
Along with a huge sound, the mask the ghoul was wearing instantly shattered, and he himself was sent flying back by a bloody long spear and was slammed into the wall.
And with the death of this ghoul, the sound of footsteps in the corridor became closer and closer until a figure covered in blood rushed out. The other party didn't say any unnecessary words and charged towards the crowd with the long spear in hand.
Although they didn't know who the person covered in blood was, there was no doubt that the other party was an 'enemy.' Almost at the moment he charged in, several kagune shot towards him.
The long spear deflected one koukaku, and the person twisted his body to dodge several rinkakus, but he couldn't dodge all of the fastest ukakus. Because he was already covered in blood, it was impossible to see if he was injured, but the person seemed to completely ignore the wounds on his body. The long spear in his hand fiercely pierced a ghoul's heart, and then he swung it horizontally.
"Bang!!"
The powerful blow, even for a ghoul with far superior strength than a human, made him frown, but before that ghoul could react, the man with the long spear had already rushed in front of him...
"Splat~!"
Under the irrigation of blood, the dark brown long spear gleamed with a demonic blood-red light.
