Kei Yakuchi could feel Touka Kirishima's surprised gaze just from the corner of his eye.
He wasn't surprised by Touka Kirishima's reaction at all.
Touka Kirishima probably thought he was a dead man when she saw him walking home with Kamishiro Rize last night.
"Yakuchi did you think I wouldn't come today?"
Kamishiro Rize asked with a smile.
"Yes, I thought you'd pick a different place."
Kei Yakuchi naturally sat down opposite Kamishiro Rize, as if they were still a couple.
But even if they weren't a couple, there was nothing wrong with sitting together and chatting like friends, right?
Kei Yakuchi 's words actually meant that Kamishiro Rize would find another place to continue seducing and preying on her next target.
However, Kamishiro Rize didn't do that. Perhaps she wasn't in a hurry yet?
Aside from Kei Yakuchi and Kamishiro Rize themselves, outsiders would find their conversation a bit inexplicable.
"I think this place is quite nice, and the coffee is delicious."
Saying that, Kamishiro Rize took a sip of the coffee in her hand.
"Not bad at all."
Kei Yakuchi and Kamishiro Rize exchanged a simple conversation.
Their conversation no longer had the feeling of a couple, as it was all an act before, and now that the act was over, it naturally wasn't like that anymore.
Kei Yakuchi went to the bookshelf again and picked up a book. This time, he was reading "the hanging mcguffin," Takatsuki Sen's latest published work.
"This is "the hanging mcguffin." You recommended it to me before, but you haven't actually read it?"
Kamishiro Rize glanced at the book in Kei Yakuchi 's hand and couldn't help but tease him.
"Hmm, I haven't read it yet. I just heard that it had a very good reputation before."
Kei Yakuchi explained without blushing or panicking.
There was nothing wrong with what he said; he knew the book had excellent sales and reputation before he transmigrated.
"Is that so? Let me see too."
Kamishiro Rize directly got up and sat next to Kei Yakuchi .
She even dragged her chair closer to Kei Yakuchi , getting so close seemingly just to read "the hanging mcguffin" with him.
Kei Yakuchi could almost smell the faint fragrance emanating from Kamishiro Rize.
He had thought that Kamishiro Rize wouldn't play the so-called "couple's game" with him anymore, but looking at this, it seemed it wasn't over?
It was certain that Kamishiro Rize wouldn't suddenly attack him in a place like Antique Coffee Shop; she definitely wouldn't dare to act so recklessly on Yoshimura Kuzen's territory.
It wasn't until the next moment that Kei Yakuchi probably understood why Kamishiro Rize was doing this.
As Kamishiro Rize leaned in, she sniffed greedily at the area between his neck and shoulder, as if smelling a delicious meal.
Kei Yakuchi immediately understood.
It seemed Kamishiro Rize really thought he smelled delicious...
Although he wasn't entirely clear about the underlying principle, and the so-called physical fitness and Hashirama cells were just guesses, it was hard to say whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. Wasn't he now like the "Tang Monk's flesh" in the "tokyo ghoul" world?
"I'm a little worried you'll suddenly take a bite out of me."
Kei Yakuchi teased in a low voice at this moment.
"Don't worry, now isn't the right time. I won't do something like that."
Kamishiro Rize said directly, "However, if you're willing, we can go to a secluded place right now."
"No thanks, I don't have masochistic tendencies."
Kei Yakuchi immediately shook his head.
"However, I really do want to read this book."
Kamishiro Rize said, "Although I came across Takatsuki Sen's works by chance, I found that her works are quite to my taste."
"Is that so? Then let's read it together."
Kei Yakuchi wasn't too surprised by this. Takatsuki Sen's works often contained many depressing, despairing, and even graphic passages, so it wasn't strange that Kamishiro Rize would like them.
Next, reading a book with Kamishiro Rize was significantly slower than reading normally, but being able to share a favorite work with someone, especially a girl, made the experience more pleasant, even if it was slower.
...
[Ding! The host has read "the hanging mcguffin" and received a reward: 1 Fusion Point!]
[Ding! The host has finished reading "the hanging mcguffin" and received a reward: 1 Fusion Point!]
Kei Yakuchi stubbornly finished an entire copy of "the hanging mcguffin" in the coffee shop with Kamishiro Rize.
During this time, Touka Kirishima, being quite concerned about Kei Yakuchi and Kamishiro Rize, deliberately observed them.
She then discovered that they were still acting intimately like a couple, which further confirmed her suspicion that Kamishiro Rize hadn't hunted last night and instead wanted to continue playing with the human boy.
After finishing the book, Kei Yakuchi and Kamishiro Rize naturally started discussing it.
When he heard Kamishiro Rize praising how wonderful and exciting the graphic passages were, Kei Yakuchi couldn't help but feel speechless.
"You really like these graphic plots..."
Kei Yakuchi immediately complained.
Just then, he suddenly thought of Kamishiro Rize's physical condition.
Because most of those graphic passages involved various acts of torture and cannibalism, he thought of Kamishiro Rize needing to hunt to restore the rc cells in her body.
"By the way, how's your body?"
Kei Yakuchi then asked.
"My body has recovered quite well, and I still have a lot of 'stock' at home. Are you concerned about me, Yakuchi ~?"
Kamishiro Rize said with a pleasant tone.
The "stock" she referred to was the human flesh she had hunted before and stored in the refrigerator to keep fresh.
Kei Yakuchi and Kamishiro Rize kept their voices low, only audible to each other.
"Yes, of course I'd be concerned about you, otherwise I wouldn't have saved you before."
Kei Yakuchi said calmly.
There was not a hint of embarrassment on his face; instead, he admitted it very straightforwardly.
"That's true."
Kamishiro Rize immediately realized that this guy was completely unyielding.
Forget making him scared, he didn't even show a hint of shyness.
"Although your body has recovered, I still don't recommend you hunt as freely as before, because the person wearing the Clowns could ambush you again at any time."
Kei Yakuchi kindly reminded her.
"Do you want to restrain me?"
Kamishiro Rize's eyes held a hint of displeasure.
"However, if you let me have another taste, I might consider listening to you."
