Why not?
Looking at Eto who was waiting, Gawain responded casually.
On one hand, he could roughly understand Eto's thoughts, after all, the One-Eyed Owl's identity was different from other ghouls.
The current situation regarding ghouls is very simple: Gawain must use his unparalleled strength to suppress all dissent and establish rules and systems that can influence all ghouls in all districts of the city.
As for the relationship between ghouls and humans...
Eto was a little unsure of what to do.
On one hand, Gawain demanded that ghouls not attack humans, so the first things ghouls needed to control were all the hospitals and crematoriums in the city.
What follows is the inevitable counterattack from the human side.
Eto was unsure of Gawain's true attitude.
Should they exterminate all CCG members, appease them, or create a new order that goes even further with absolute power?
Eto couldn't predict the distant future, nor did she want to.
All she wanted to know now was whether Gawain was willing to unleash the One-Eyed Owl, a name card powerful enough to shake the entire CCG, to initiate a true conflict between humans and ghouls.
Now, after hearing Gawain's response, Eto happily moved closer to Gawain.
"In that case, I'll really show my One-Eyed Owl side and lead everyone to cause some real trouble in the city."
Of course, I will definitely listen to you and not harm humans. My actions are only to restrain ghouls from harming humans.
But not all ghouls in the city are so obedient; trying to make them obey will inevitably result in many deaths.
Such carnage and my identity One-Eyed Owl would probably make the CCG completely uneasy. Without my appearance, the CCG might have remained on guard and patient for a while because of the threat of you exposing your entire body, sir.
"If I show up, we might immediately have to go to war with the CCG!"
"So what?"
As soon as Eto finished speaking, Gawain raised his hand and patted Eto's head.
"So what do you think I'm going to do? What I'm going to do is first start a war with the CCG, then start a war with the entire Japan, and finally use this place as a springboard to control and unify the global ghoul and human world through war."
At this point, Gawain rubbed Eto's face.
"I told you to take off your masks long ago. My orders are absolute."
So, no matter what significance the One-Eyed Owl holds, you are still just a ghoul, and we have no obligation to make an exception for you."
After saying that, Gawain released Eto and then pointed into the distance.
"In a little while, Eto, go back and restrain the Aogiri Tree, then bring all of you to 20th Ward."
As for Kuzen, I hope that after your surprise attack on Tsukiyama Shuu, you will go a step further and take down the leader of the Madam Club, namely Big Madam!
Besides that, BigMadam has a poor child under her command, whose surname should be Reiya.
"Yes, he's a boy who looks very much like a girl. I hope you can deliver him safely to me. I have a great need for him. Kuzen!"
After speaking, Gawain looked at Kuzen seriously.
After a moment's thought, Kuzen nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, sir, I understand what you mean."
Whether it's Tsukiyama Shuu or Big Madam, they are merely obstacles standing in Suzuya's way.
Although I don't understand why you value Suzuya so much, sir, I will definitely bring him before you.
However, although there are no ghouls in the 20th Ward that can stop me, killing and controlling them is still manageable, but if I want to rescue people, I'm afraid I'll need to bring some manpower.
"I'll bring Yomo and Koma along. That way, we can protect Reiya more effectively."
Kuzen's thinking is extremely comprehensive. He could certainly subdue most ghouls on his own, but protecting one person would be more difficult.
Although Tsukiyama Shuu is only an S-rank ghoul, his group of ghouls from prominent families includes many hidden SS-rank ghouls.
Especially BigMadam, whom Gawain specifically mentioned, is practically a carbon copy of this world's Big Mom, but even more perverted.
She is one of the SS-class ghouls hiding behind Tsukiyama Shuu, and also one of the long-standing problems in the 20th Ward!
Hearing Kuzen's explanation, Gawain nodded in understanding and then patted Kuzen on the shoulder.
"Just do as you wish, but make sure Lingya is safe. This is our first collaboration, Kuzen, don't let me down."
"Of course not, sir!"
Kuzen nodded seriously, then left without making a sound.
As his Pops walked into the shadows, Eto chuckled and jumped up to kiss Gawain on the cheek.
After landing, Eto wiped his mouth, then smiled and left the coffee shop.
Seeing that they had all left, Gawain sat down and slowly drank a cup of coffee.
About twenty minutes later, the coffee was finished, and Irimi and Touka in the coffee shop got busy.
They cleaned until about seven o'clock, and then Touka decided to pick up her schoolbag and go to school.
However, just as Touka was about to leave, Gawain suddenly stopped her.
Seeing the confusion and bewilderment in Touka's eyes, Gawain shook his head and said with a smile.
"Take a day off, Touka. You probably won't have time to go to school today."
In fact, because of the chaos that has broken out in both our district and 23rd Ward, it's likely that most schools in this city will have to temporarily close.
If I'm not mistaken, the CCG was already sending more investigators towards the border of 20th Ward at this time.
As for you, come walk with me later.
Since everyone is running around following my orders, I, as the leader, should at least ensure a harmonious environment for everyone!
"Why???"
Upon hearing Gawain's words, Touka's expression froze, and her body trembled.
Then, she nodded nervously.
"Is war about to break out? I understand, sir!"
As she spoke, she reached into her schoolbag without hesitation and took out her little bunny mask.
Before she could put on the mask, Gawain had already taken it from her.
"You don't need to wear a mask anymore, Touka."
As I said, starting today, you will no longer need to wear masks.
I guarantee that under my control, ordinary people will gradually forget their fear of you.
And those humans who are worthy of your fear will, in turn, fear you!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain tightened his coat and strode out of the coffee shop.
Touka followed Gawain nervously until they were almost out of the store, when she seemed to suddenly remember something and called out to Irimi behind her.
"Sister Irimi, I... I have to go now. I'm leaving the shop in your care!"
"Don't worry, Touka, your master will take good care of you."
Also, when you see those CCGs again, don't let yourselves scare the adults and our Anteiku!
Meanwhile, at the Ghoul Countermeasures Bureau Headquarters!
The meeting of senior investigators, which had lasted all night, was suddenly interrupted by members of the investigation department who barged in!
The member carrying the intelligence had just entered the conference room when he was startled by the thick smoke inside!
From a distance, the conference room looked like a fairyland. How many cigarettes did these investigators smoke last night?!
Through the smoke, a weary and worried-looking Itsuki Marude called out to the members who entered.
"What is it? Speak quickly!"
"Yes... yes!"
The surprised member of the investigation team was startled. He quickly stood up straight and then nervously reported.
"Just now, signs of One-Eyed Owl activity have been detected in both 20th Ward and 23rd Ward!"
No, it's not a sign. The One-Eyed Owl from 23rd Ward swaggered back to the suspected headquarters of the Aogiri Tree Ghoul organization, which is one of the many dilapidated factories inside 23rd Ward that we haven't been able to investigate!
After that, the members of Aogiri Tree gathered together and quickly killed more than 600 ghouls of rank B or higher in the 23rd Ward!
Immediately afterwards, all the ghouls from 23rd Ward gathered together and began their march towards 20th Ward!
Furthermore, none of the ghouls heading towards 20th Ward were wearing masks! None of them were wearing masks!
Our drones, through filming, discovered numerous iconic masks of well-known ghouls at the location where the Aogiri Tree members initially gathered!
This includes the recently active Black Rabbit and Jason; all ghouls no longer bother to hide their faces!
In addition, the One-Eyed Owl from 20th Ward, along with two SS-rank ghouls suspected to Crow and Devil Ape, and many more subordinates, raided the Gourmet and Big Mom's ghoul club!!!
"What!!!"
Damn it!
"One-Eyed Owl!!!"
"Ahhh, the One-Eyed Owl has appeared! Ahahahaha, he's finally appeared! Finally...!!!"
Amidst the astonished gasps of numerous investigators, Mado Kureo, his eyes bloodshot, stood up abruptly.
He was already getting impatient with the meeting in front of him!
Last night, after recounting Gawain's story in the Investigation Division, he returned to the meeting and participated in the discussion about the super-giant ghoul codenamed Azure Dragon!
Although it was just a discussion, the CCG as a whole was deeply concerned about the appearance of this mysterious ghoul codenamed Azure Dragon.
The CCG hasn't even dealt with the One-Eyed Owl yet. At least, apart from the members of the Washuu Clan, other investigators still feel that it will be very difficult for them to eliminate the One-Eyed Owl.
Before they could even deal with the One-Eyed Owl, another ghoul appeared who was clearly much stronger than One-Eyed Owl!
Given Azure Dragon's terrifying physique, the amount of RC cells in his body, which are the cells that make up ghoul kagune, is probably beyond everyone's imagination!
Even the Washuu Clan...
At least Washuu Kichimasa was a little panicked.
Behind the scenes, he spoke with the Speaker of the General Assembly Tsuneyoshi Washuu more than once, just to find out if something was wrong underground.
But there's really nothing wrong underground, so where did this codename Azure Dragon come from?
Washuu Kichimasa finally felt a sense of unease, as if things were slipping out of his control!
Meanwhile, the investigators, burdened with so many worries that even smoking all night couldn't dispel them, were filled with anxiety.
Upon hearing the news that two of their One-Eyed Owl colleagues had been dispatched, everyone except for the Mado Kureo Arima Kishou, was a bit stunned!
Although Arima Kishou secretly collaborates with Eto simply doesn't have time to communicate with him about Gawain's affairs!
Faced with the sudden changes within the ghouls, how could Arima was unaware of the situation, not be overwhelmed?
At the same time, after shouting, Mado Kureo immediately felt the atmosphere of despair permeating the air.
Feeling that despair and worry, Mado slammed his fist on the table.
"Damn it, why are we still standing still!"
Whether it's the One-Eyed Owl or the newly emerged codenamed Azure Dragon!
As long as they're ghouls, they're trash we have to kill. As investigators, what does it matter if we die at the hands of ghouls!
I've been waiting for this day for far too long! That damned One-Eyed Owl has finally shown up in full force, two of them! Hahahaha, the joy is doubled! I can take my revenge twice, twice! Ahahahaha!
That's wonderful! That's wonderful!
I need more quinques, I need more weapons!
What are you waiting for, you special agents? And you, Director, what are you waiting for?
They are declaring war on us; this is a blatant declaration of war!
The time for war has come!
Do you really think that by thinking of countermeasures like you do, we can avoid more wars?!
We may lose, but we must strive to win. Even if we die, at least we can inspire more humans to fight against ghouls!
It's time to get moving!!!
Hearing Mado Kureo's roar, Iwao Kuroiwa suddenly stood up!
"That's right, Mado is absolutely right. What are we hesitating for? Are we afraid?"
No, absolutely not! We must suppress the ghouls' arrogant attitude no matter what!
Director, I think it's even necessary for us to cooperate with the Self-Defense Force and the Navy!
No matter what, Tokyo cannot fall into the hands of ghouls!
"Indeed!"
Kiyoko Aura suddenly stood up.
"Men, don't let this little woman look down on you! The ghouls have declared war, so even if the enemy is a dragon, we must face them with confidence!"
"That's right!"
Shinohara Yukinori stood up and pounded his chest heavily.
"The time has come for us to face death with style, the time has come for us to fully mobilize, we..."
"Director, Director!!!"
Before Shinohara finish speaking, the investigator who suddenly burst in rushed to Washuu Kichimasa's side.
"Chief, a man has arrived at our headquarters with a ghoul that appears to be Codename Rabbit!"
Now, that man is standing there, and anyone who tries to use a weapon against him is knocked unconscious!
He's the one who attacked Special Inspector Shinohara and Senior Inspector Mado last night. He said he wants to see the Chief and all the Special Inspectors and Senior Inspectors!
I... I..."
"What do you mean, shut up! You're so afraid of just one enemy coming to your door!"
Get out! Get out!!!
Looking at the timid soldiers, Washuu Kichimasa shouted and cursed.
Then, he clapped his hands loudly.
"It seems that the ghoul who attacked Shinohara last night is the culprit behind the unusual activity in the 20th Ward and 23rd Ward!"
We really underestimated him. This guy had the guts to come right up to us, and we treated him like a coward who wouldn't dare to fight us!
Ladies and gentlemen, come with me out here and meet this arrogant and domineering new generation ghoul who has never had a code name or information!
Arima, prepare for battle! My gut feeling tells me that even if this guy isn't codenamed Azure Dragon, he's at least connected to that incredibly terrifying shadow!!!
And you all...
Are you ready for a fight to the death?
