"This is the research building in Ward 1. It's used to make anti-ghoul weapons like Quinques and the Q-Type Barrett."
Shinohara brought Juuzou Suzuya here. "Of course, they also research ghouls and develop RC Gates."
Of course, Juuzou Suzuya hadn't understood the latter half of that at all. He merely cupped his hands around his eyes like binoculars and scanned the place, his mouth hanging open in amazement.
"Ohhh-it's huge!"
"Special-Class Investigator Shinohara..." A man in a white lab coat walked over and waved to Shinohara, his bowl-cut hair covering his eyes.
His name was Chigyo Koitsu. He was the CCG's chief researcher, with exceptional skill in making and modifying Quinques.
"Dr. Chigyo." Shinohara pulled Suzuya over. "Put your left hand on your stomach, then bow your head. One... two... go."
This was the salute used within the CCG.
"I'm Second-Class Ghoul Investigator Juuzou Suzuya..." Though Juuzou Suzuya had no idea why he was doing this, he tried his best to follow whatever Shinohara told him.

"We prepared several designs based on the kakuhou's properties and type..." Out of professional habit, Dr. Chigyo began explaining the Quinque to its user before they had even seen it.
"By combining biotechnology and mechanical engineering, we turn the kakuhou into a Quinque that surpasses the original kagune..."
"Hmm..." Suzuya had listened to a whole lot without understanding a single word. "Can't you just turn a kagune straight into
