While Huiqi and Jin Toka were enjoying their conversation, a group of uninvited visitors arrived in Ward 20.
Sen Takatsuki had arrived at the CCG at some point, with fans trailing behind her.
"So this is the CCG? May I take pictures?"
"No, please, don't, don't!" The receptionist stood beside her with an apologetic smile. An ordinary person would have been sent away long ago, but the woman before them was the famous author Sen Takatsuki.
The receptionist was in no position to act, but the information had already been reported upstairs. An appropriate Ghoul Investigator would arrive shortly.
The report worked its way up until it reached Kōtarō Amon and Akira Mado.
Without hesitation, the two headed downstairs to deal with Sen Takatsuki.
I'll be leaving soon, Amon thought. I might as well do one last thing to ease Huiqi's workload.
They soon found Sen Takatsuki on the first floor. She was so small that, sitting there, she looked like a mascot.
"I'm Rank 1 Investigator Kōtarō Amon. What would you like to discuss?"
"I'm Rank 2 Investigator Akira Mado."
They introduced themselves in turn, then looked at the woman at the center of it all, Sen Takatsuki.
"Hello! Hello, I'm Sen Takatsuki. Sorry for bothering you today. Does Huiqi work here?"
"Hmm? Do you need something?"
"Not really? I suppose I wanted to complain about someone's unhealthy lifestyle. A glamorous Special Class Investigator in public, a wife-beater behind closed doors."
For a moment, both of them were dumbfounded. Kōtarō Amon had no idea what to say, while Akira Mado's expression shifted several times before she stood up to leave.
"Domestic violence? What exactly is your relationship?!"
"A certain Special Class Investigator's live-in wife?"
Akira Mado flushed with anger. She had never imagined Huiqi had this side to him.
