Chapter 167 - Chapter 168: The End

"Jotaro-san and Sister Shinobu also came over."

The blurry figure walking from afar became clearer and clearer. Nezuko, who had been eagerly looking forward, finally saw the person clearly. A flower-like beautiful smile bloomed on her blushing little face.

Nagachika Hideyoshi's eyes were wide open; in his heart, he became more and more envious that Kaneki could see such a girl every day.

However, he did not forget his mission. After walking over to Jotaro, he took the initiative to introduce himself and explain his purpose for coming.

Jotaro and Shinobu looked at each other. It could be said that Nagachika's arrival was exactly what they had hoped for.

Only they knew that the monsters were the result of kagune mutations.

Although Shinobu had done some theoretical research on this, it was still impossible to realize it in a short time.

This process required enormous manpower and resources.

But if the CCG cooperated with them, then this technology could be perfected in the shortest time.

Nagachika was both surprised and happy. He hadn't expected Jotaro and the others to truly possess a method to deal with this disaster.

If this technology was developed, it might even be more effective than a nuclear bomb.

Such an important technology, and Jotaro was actually willing to share it with them.

"Mr. Kujo, thank you so much."

Nagachika deeply bowed, expressing his gratitude.

Once, Furuta had deliberately smeared Jotaro's reputation to deal with him, saying he was a selfish and domineering dictator.

Nagachika agreed with Jotaro's ideals, but to be honest, he still had some concerns about Jotaro's character.

There were no shortages in history of people who, although they did great things, were not great people.

However, at this moment, Nagachika understood, Jotaro was a great man doing great things.

What made him great was himself.

And the great things he had done were definitely not just one or two.

Nagachika's gratitude, Jotaro didn't mind.

Besides technology, he also had a piece of intelligence to share with them.

This was something he discovered during his battle with the monster.

"The core?"

"That's right." Jotaro recalled the previous scene, where the monster had an obsessive fixation on him, and said calmly, "I'm afraid its core is that woman Rize."

"Rize!"

Everyone present was not unfamiliar with that name.

"If we want to end this disaster, the first thing we must do is find Rize's location and eliminate her."

Jotaro's eyes were cold and clear.

"If her core isn't destroyed, these monsters will keep being created endlessly!"

As the acting deputy director of the CCG, Nagachika Hideyoshi understood the current situation better than anyone.

"These kagune-mutated monsters are constantly expanding out from Tokyo."

The CCG had also been conducting statistical studies on the monster distribution. From the locations of the monsters, it could be inferred that Rize must be within Tokyo.

Nagachika furrowed his brow, "Finding one person in such a big place like Tokyo is like fishing for a needle in the ocean."

"But in order to end this disaster, this matter must be done."

"There's no time to lose! I must immediately return and report to the Director!" He bowed once more, then left in a hurry with his men.

Jotaro stood in place with his eyes closed.

In this way, this matter could finally come to a conclusion.

Kanou and Furuta would never have thought that their plan to destroy everything would become the opportunity for unity between ghouls and humans.

Fear comes from the unknown. Humans fear ghouls not just because ghouls feed on humans, but also because humans do not understand this species.

As various studies on ghouls advance, human understanding of ghouls will certainly reach a whole new level.

Ghouls can survive without eating humans, and their kagune can be used in fields like medicine and architecture to benefit humanity.

If they are beneficial to human society, perhaps it won't be long before humans accept them.

"Yare yare…"

The day of leaving this world is not far off either.

"I say, you guys! Why do you keep staring at the boss?"

The speaker was Irimi, and the ones staring at Jotaro were the women around him.

Since they arrived, Yoshimura Eto's eyes hadn't left Jotaro's body.

Her eyes sparkled with stars.

"Didn't you notice he seems to have had some subtle change?"

In her eyes, the current Jotaro exuded restrained intelligence from head to toe, completely her type.

"Now that you mention it…" Irimi shifted her gaze and examined him for a while, then said, "The boss does seem gentler."

Jotaro pressed his hat down, too lazy to explain.

His appearance didn't change much, even looking a bit younger due to the softness in his features, so even if they racked their brains, they wouldn't have imagined his bone age had increased by seven years in an instant.

The feeling of life force flowing out of his body still left him with lingering fear.

A slight mistake, and he might have aged or even died in an instant.

Fortunately, for now, he hadn't felt any abnormalities, his physical condition, mental power, and Stand ability were no different from before.

"Sister Shinobu, what's wrong?"

Nezuko looked at Shinobu, who was lowering her head in silence with some gloom on her brow, and asked worriedly.

"No… nothing."

Shinobu raised her head and showed a reassuring smile.

However, her mood was not as relaxed as she appeared. After the initial excitement and joy, she had calmed down.

Her memory was vague, with no clear recollection of what had happened before.

She couldn't understand, clearly, she had been eaten by the monster, yet her body had not a single wound.

No matter how she asked, Jotaro never told her the details, as if he was hiding it from her.

Nezuko's thoughts were naturally not as delicate. Knowing that she was fine and that Jotaro had returned, a sweet smile remained on her face.

In her eyes, Jotaro hadn't changed at all, still as gentle as ever.

After returning to the CCG, Nagachika reported the relevant matters to Acting Director Suzuya Juuzou.

As expected, Suzuya immediately gathered manpower to search for Rize's true body.

After learning that everything was Furuta's doing, he naturally let go of his hatred toward Jotaro.

The 24th Ward and the CCG united, ghouls and humans on a single front.

Three months later.

The new technology to counter mutated kagune was officially put into use. Deep underground, the joint forces found Rize's true body.

Jotaro and Suzuya led the team to eliminate her.

Although the damage caused by the monsters hadn't yet been healed by time, humanity had ushered in the dawn.

Since then, both ghouls and humans regarded Jotaro as their savior, even some fanatics saw him as a god!

In the new prime minister election, his approval rating reached as high as 99%.

He didn't run for office, but everyone hoped he would become the leader of the new world.

"The former prime minister and several ministers around him all hoped to marry their daughters to the boss."

Irimi rubbed her temples helplessly.

"What a joke!" Touka said angrily, "The law states one husband, one wife!"

She had already graduated from high school and worked under Irimi after graduation.

The Anteiku café was still open in its original location. Manager Yoshimura Yoshitoki hadn't died but was imprisoned in Cochlea by the CCG and later released after serving his sentence.

It's worth mentioning that he and Eto had already reconciled.

The turning point for reconciliation was when the manager wanted Jotaro to become his son-in-law. Although Jotaro mercilessly rejected him, having a father who cared about her moved Eto deeply.

"In the end, laws exist to maintain the interests of the ruling class." Irimi said calmly, "If Jotaro nods, starting tomorrow, Japan would implement a polygamy system!"

"Moreover, he doesn't even need to nod. These politicians, in order to make him accept their daughters and bind their interests to him, have probably already begun working on this in private."

"Damn bastards, those people." Touka cursed. "Why do they have to scheme against him?"

If Jotaro took power, they would lose influence, maybe even be held accountable for their past crimes.

How could they not be afraid? They couldn't even try to resist.

With the will of the people and Jotaro's own strength, they didn't even dare to play dirty behind the scenes.

The only thing they could do was pull Jotaro into their camp.

But they were destined to be disappointed…

Irimi sighed softly, her expression sorrowful, looking at the person slowly approaching.

She was a gentle and mature woman, tall and beautiful.

No man would want to see such a woman cry.

But the corners of her eyes really did carry tears.

Akira smiled sadly, "He's already… gone."
