Finally found his weakness~

Her past experiences in the Washuu Clan had left Rize Kamishiro hating nothing more than being controlled.

That was why she did whatever she pleased. Her cruelty and merciless, indiscriminate hunting were really ways of venting the pain of her past.

An ordinary ghoul generally only needed to feed once a month to stay nourished. Rize Kamishiro, on the other hand, hunted two or three times a week.

She always preyed on far more humans than she needed, eating purely for the sake of eating.

That was also why she was called the "Glutton."

But Rize Kamishiro only cared about finding new ways to eat people and had no desire to pursue strength, which was something of a waste of her pure Washuu ghoul bloodline.

Yet even though Rize Kamishiro hated being "controlled," she still could not stop thinking about Amahane Byakuya's body. She was willing to accept restrictions just to have another taste.

Still, all Rize Kamishiro had said just now was that she would consider it. She had not given him a definite answer.

[Ding! The host has activated a quest. God-tier choices unlocked!]

[Option one: Refuse Rize Kamishiro's request and stop interfering with her hunting. Reward: 1 fusion point!]

[Option two: Refuse Rize Kamishiro's request but forcibly restrain her. Reward: 20 fusion points!]

[Option three: Agree to Rize Kamishiro's request. Reward: 50 fusion points!]

"You've got it backward. It should be: if you're willing to do as I say, I can let you have a little taste."

Amahane Byakuya began "haggling" with Rize Kamishiro.

He wanted to choose the third option, but that did not stop him from negotiating terms with her.

He could agree, provided she did as he said first.

Besides, he could earn quite a few fusion points. As long as the choices the system offered were not too unreasonable, he could consider accepting them.

"Do as you say first?"

Rize Kamishiro asked.

"Right. For example..."

Amahane Byakuya thought for a moment. "If you don't prey on any other humans for two weeks, I can grant your request afterward."

He knew Rize Kamishiro usually hunted at least two or three times a week, so he figured that if she could hold out for two weeks first, that would be enough.

Otherwise, if Rize Kamishiro refused to listen, Furuta Nimura could easily find another opening. Then saving her earlier would have been for nothing.

"Huh? Isn't two weeks a little too long? How about three days?"

Rize Kamishiro's tone turned a little coaxing.

Amahane Byakuya was speechless. "...That would defeat the whole point, okay? Ghouls only need to feed once a month. You're the only one with such a huge appetite."

"And seriously, you could be ambushed again at any moment. I might not be able to save you next time, so think it through."

Rize Kamishiro had wanted to keep bargaining with Amahane Byakuya, but the latter half of his warning silenced her.

Just as Amahane Byakuya had said, if the person who had ambushed her last night really belonged to the Washuu Clan, her current situation was already grim.

If the Washuu Clan catches me and takes me back, what will happen to me...

At that thought, a faint smile appeared on Rize Kamishiro's face. "All right, I'll agree to your terms. But before that, let me have just a tiny taste~"

"A taste of what?"

Amahane Byakuya thought Rize Kamishiro wanted to take a bite out of him first. If that was the case, he would not agree.

"Don't worry. I certainly wouldn't bite you here, with so many people watching."

As she spoke, Rize Kamishiro wrapped her arms around Amahane Byakuya's neck, then caught his earlobe between her teeth.

Of course, she only nibbled lightly, without using any force.

Even that tasted delicious, as though she were licking a lollipop.

Amahane Byakuya had never experienced anything like this before. Ears were sensitive spots for many people to begin with, and a slight shiver immediately ran through him.

Rize Kamishiro had only meant to "satisfy her craving," but she had not expected such an obvious reaction from Amahane Byakuya.

The corners of her lips lifted slightly. She had finally found his weakness.

His complete lack of reaction last night still rankled her even now, so she suddenly wanted to take her revenge a little further.

Meanwhile, the sight of Rize Kamishiro and Amahane Byakuya caused quite a stir among the other customers.

"I remember that human boy. He's actually still alive? He must be the longest-surviving 'prey' Rize Kamishiro has ever set her sights on, right?"

"Yeah. And since when does Rize Kamishiro get so intimate with her 'prey'? If I didn't know her, I could easily mistake them for a couple."

"Could Rize Kamishiro actually be interested in that human? It's extremely unlikely, but not completely impossible."

"..."

Touka Kirishima naturally saw the scene from the front counter as well. Rize Kamishiro's behavior left her stunned.

How could this utterly vicious woman do something like that-and with a human, at that?

Even if she only wanted to keep toying with that human, surely she did not need to go this far?

Besides, their lovey-dovey behavior was not exactly good for the café's image.

As luck would have it, Ken Kaneki walked through the entrance just then.

He happened to catch sight of the scene, and his steps stopped short. He froze on the spot.

Hide Nagachika was right behind Ken Kaneki. Seeing his sudden, strange reaction, he could not help asking, "What's wrong?"

Just as Rize Kamishiro was about to push her luck and provoke a stronger reaction from Amahane Byakuya, he pushed her away.

"Don't take it too far."

Amahane Byakuya did not want to lose his composure, so he firmly stopped Rize Kamishiro from going any further.

"All right. I'm satisfied anyway."

Rize Kamishiro licked her lips in satisfaction and teased him cheerfully. "Besides...I finally found a certain someone's weakness~"
