Kaneki Ken, Kakashi Hatake

After asking the question, a look of wariness appeared on Kirishima Touka's face.

There is nothing more tempting to Ghoul than human flesh.

After all, even those Ghouls who had "Kagune" all agreed that Ghoul tasted like rotten fish entrails.

She didn't think the other party would go to such lengths as a coffee shop to collect the bodies of human suicide victims.

But when the ingredients were served, Kirishima Touka was shocked.

Stir-fried eggplant with rice cakes, salt and pepper king oyster mushrooms, stir-fried wheat with chives, garlic mixed vegetables, Mapo tofu, and pickled cucumber toast.

Six vegetarian dishes.

No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with human flesh search.

"Today's menu is a Chinese vegetarian feast."

Wang Yan said in a mild tone, "Although the food was made by three novices using an automatic cooking machine and lacks soul and emotion, the ingredients are definitely the best in the world."

"Our master chef Sanji Accio from Germany."

"It should arrive around tomorrow."

"Please forgive us for any shortcomings in our hospitality."

As he spoke, Kirishima Touka couldn't help but swallow several times.

"Really, it's free?"

Reason told her that she could not eat human food.

The blade of emotion was too sharp; with just one strike, it severed the string of reason in the mind.

"Need not."

Wang Yan shook his head, turned around, and sat down at another table.

He sipped the crimson, viscous wine while flipping through a manga that Kirishima Touka had never heard of before.

"The author of ' Ice and Fire Abusive Love: A Hinata Hyuga? Never heard of it. I'll buy a copy and read it sometime."

Touka came to her senses and realized that she had already devoured a whole plate of salt and pepper king oyster mushrooms.

She wore a pained expression, her brows furrowed in worry.

After this meal, I'll probably be bedridden for a few more days.

However, she was willing to bear the consequences for the sake of delicious food.

She'd had enough of the endless repetition of manual labor and coffee!

At that moment, Kirishima Touka felt as if she were in Heaven.

She ate slowly and carefully, hoping to savor the moment for a while longer.

Fifty minutes flew by.

"This is Atlantis Red Wine, which is most suitable as an after-dinner drink."

Kōtarō Amon served Wang Yan a glass of the same scarlet, viscous liquor, showing great attentiveness.

"Thanks."

After Touka politely thanked him, she picked up her wine glass and took a sip.

The rich aroma explodes on the taste buds.

In that instant, she felt she had seen the essence of happiness.

It's bitter at first, but sweet later, with an endless aftertaste.

The "Fermented Blood Wine" I had tasted by chance before was utterly worthless compared to this wine.

Blood processed with anticoagulation is not actually alcohol.

Touka, unable to hold her liquor, blushed slightly on her face.

She quickly approached Wang Yan and bowed deeply. "Thank you for your hospitality!"

For ordinary people, even the most delicious food doesn't need to be prepared to this extent.

As Ghoul, Touka experienced the pleasures of being a normal human for the first time.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

She wouldn't have done something so suspicious if she hadn't been slightly tipsy.

But the Touka we see now is not the usual her.

"Welcome back tomorrow."

Wang Yan gave her an encouraging look.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Touka left the Miracle Restaurant and returned to the café.

She didn't have too many expectations.

Everything that happened today made Kirishima Touka feel as if she were in a dream.

She even doubted whether she was fully awake, fearing that her beautiful dream might be shattered at any moment.

After the guests left, Kōtarō Amon clenched his fists, flexed his biceps, and punched himself twice, his face full of disbelief.

"This is amazing! Cooking can improve your skills..."

This is even more addictive than exercising.

The human body has its limits.

Overtraining can even lead to rhabdomyolysis, causing a sharp decline in physical fitness.

But what about now?

As long as the dishes they make satisfy the customers, they can get something called "Experience Points".

When the experience bar is full, it means "level up".

You gain five Attribute Points for each level you advance.

These free Attribute Points can be added to any quality.

Strength, agility, intelligence, Spiritual Power, perception, luck, charisma, physique...

Kōtarō Amon invested five Attribute Points into "Strength".

Sisi of heat flowed through my body, circulating endlessly.

A moment later, he clenched his fist, a look of excitement appearing on his face.

His Absolute Power has increased by at least 20%!

Muscles and bones have been significantly strengthened!

Even if you train for a whole year, you might not be able to achieve this level.

More importantly, they hardly need to hone their culinary skills.

Simply wash the ingredients and put them into the automatic cooking machine to make fragrant food.

Kirishima Touka, this easily satisfied customer, gave him a false illusion, making him think that Experience Points came easily.

Unlike Kōtarō Amon, Akihiro Mado and Jūzō Suzuya allocated their Attribute Points to "Intelligence" and "Agility" respectively.

All three were extreme practitioners; none of them considered allocating Attribute Points reasonably and equally to compensate for weaknesses and develop in all aspects.

Wang Yan closed the comic book in his hand and slowly closed his eyes.

His will descended upon a university.

Kami University.

Kaneki Ken in Department of Japanese Literature, lowered his head with a strange expression.

The days that were calm and still, like a stagnant pool, were stirred up with many ripples today.

First, there was the "Performance Art Cafe" my best friend mentioned, and now I've encountered a weirdo blocking my way.

The other person had a full head of white hair, wore a strange headband and mask, and covered their left eye.

His only visible eye always gives off a tired look.

This outfit makes him look like a bad guy no matter how you look at it.

The school's security guards are all incompetent bastards who take the money but do nothing, allowing these kinds of people to sneak into the school...

"I only have enough money to buy one book. Please take it if you need it."

Kaneki Ken his courage, lowered his head, and said, "Please don't hurt me."

Looking at the timid and weak boy in front of him, Kakashi Hatake sighed Youyou.

He said helplessly, "I am you who traveled from the future to the present."

"What I'm about to say is very important."

"Please listen carefully, it concerns your future."

Kakashi couldn't understand why the Main God would assign him such a task.

This little guy may look timid, but he's actually quite obsessive and wants to train someone into a strong person. It's a nightmare.

It's so painful.

Fortunately, the mission's content and background revealed a lot of information about the future in the original timeline.

At least Kakashi knew that Kaneki Ken, who would later become half-Ghoul, would gradually transform from a "centipede" into a "Black Reaper" and eventually become the "One-Eyed King," possessing enough potential.

He told Kaneki Ken all the information he had obtained, but did not receive the reply he had expected.

A deathly silence.

Kaneki Ken pursed his lips and asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, what were you saying just now?"

He felt that Kakashi had spoken just now, but he couldn't understand a single word. It was like meaningless random sound waves and noise.

"..."

Kakashi squinted at Kaneki Ken, pondering for a long time.

After a long pause, he spat out four words through gritted teeth. "I am your father."
