Then let Renji accompany you, otherwise it won't be safe.
Yoshimura Kuzen said with some concern.
With Yomo Renji by her side, Touka Kirishima truly had no need to fear Gecko.
His danger level reached SS, and he possessed the same lightning-attribute Kagune as Kirishima Hikari. Even if he wasn't a Half-Kakuja, his strength surpassed Gecko's.
Even Uta, who was also SS and a Half-Kakuja, could at most fight Yomo Renji to a draw.
Subsequently, Yomo Renji, as her uncle, accompanied Touka Kirishima to the place where she encountered Gecko.
But when they arrived, they found that a group of CCG White Doves had already gathered there.
Moreover, the entrance was blocked by a 'No Entry' tape.
They were also stopped by a Ghoul Investigator.
"Sorry, a major dangerous incident just occurred here. Ordinary citizens, please do not approach."
"Dangerous incident? Did a Ghoul appear?"
Touka Kirishima immediately feigned a look of fear.
"Yes, and it was a very dangerous Ghoul. But there's no need to be afraid; that guy has already been expelled by a certain Investigator. We are currently processing the scene."
This Investigator seemed quite interested in chatting with cute girls. Anyway, these weren't things that couldn't be told to outsiders.
"Huh? So who is that Investigator? How old is he? Is he handsome?"
Touka Kirishima's eyes sparkled so convincingly, she was just like an ordinary young girl adoring her idol.
Clearly, she was trying to get information from the Ghoul Investigator in front of her.
She could also smell the scent of blood from inside through her sense of smell, mixed with Gecko's scent, so it was basically certain that the Ghoul who was expelled was Gecko.
But who exactly defeated or even killed Gecko?
According to Ryoko's aunt, Gecko was an Aogiri Tree executive and very powerful. She had fought Gecko earlier and knew this well.
The one who helped them escape was clearly a Ghoul, so how did it turn into a Ghoul Investigator expelling Gecko now?
It couldn't be that the Ghoul Investigator was a Ghoul, could it?
Such a thing should be impossible within the CCG.
However, Hinami-meimei insisted that Yakuchi Kei saved them.
Now Touka Kirishima's thoughts became increasingly confused, and she could only try to get answers by prying for information.
But no matter how interested the Investigator facing Touka Kirishima was in chatting with cute girls, he wouldn't act foolishly when it came to matters of principle.
However, he didn't scold her harshly, but instead smiled and said, "I can't just say such things; that's someone else's privacy. Alright, alright, if you want to pass through here, please take a detour."
"Alright…"
Touka Kirishima deliberately showed a slightly regretful expression, then returned to the Antique Coffee Shop with Yomo Renji and told the others what had just happened.
"The result is that a Ghoul Investigator expelled Gecko? But the person at that time was clearly a Ghoul like us, right?"
Ryoko Fueguchi immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Perhaps the person who helped you injured Gecko first, but he himself was also seriously injured and left, and finally Gecko was expelled by the Ghoul Investigator who heard the commotion and rushed over."
Koma Enji guessed.
"That is indeed possible, but no matter the specific situation, I'm more curious about who that person who helped us was…"
The more she couldn't figure it out, the more Touka Kirishima cared.
"When… when that big brother comes again, I'll just go ask him directly."
At this moment, Fueguchi Hinami spoke.
To understand her father's matters, she forced herself to muster courage.
Before, she didn't know anything about that big brother, so she didn't dare to proactively ask.
This time, that big brother saved them, so she felt he definitely wasn't a bad person, and was likely her father's friend, so she had the courage to approach him proactively.
"That works too, for now, that's all we can do."
Touka Kirishima nodded.
"This time, Gecko was expelled by an Investigator in our 20th Ward. The Aogiri Tree behind him might seek revenge for him. Recently, the 20th Ward might become very chaotic, even turning into a battlefield between the Aogiri Tree and CCG Investigators. All of you need to be more careful recently."
Irimi Kaya reminded them.
"Mm…"
Touka Kirishima's expression was slightly downcast.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
After all, under the Anteiku's years of "management," the 20th Ward had finally become the most peaceful and tranquil area, but it was shattered by the sudden arrival of Gecko, and a series of terrible things might be triggered, and the 20th Ward would also…
Ryoko Fueguchi and Fueguchi Hinami couldn't help but feel a little guilty. They knew that if they hadn't come to the 20th Ward to avoid trouble, Gecko wouldn't have pursued them here.
But in reality, it had nothing to do with them. Gecko's main purpose in coming to the 20th Ward was to capture the Big Eater, Kamishiro Rize alive. Seeking revenge on them was just a side matter. Gecko, who had already set himself on a path to death, was doomed no matter what.
"Look at you, why are you still so concerned about what has already happened? Besides, the Aogiri Tree isn't necessarily going to war with the CCG. We just need to continue doing what we're supposed to do. It's a good thing that Mrs. Fueguchi and little Hinami can join us; now we have two more strengths."
Koma Enji had already noticed Ryoko Fueguchi and Fueguchi Hinami's self-reproach, so he was the first to break the heavy atmosphere.
Although the Fueguchi mother and daughter were unwilling to prey on humans, helping out in the coffee shop and picking up human corpses would certainly still be useful.
Irimi Kaya also smiled, "That's right, we don't need to be so pessimistic."
Ryoko Fueguchi and Fueguchi Hinami immediately felt a little relieved. Since that was the case, they would work hard to help Anteiku.
...
Meanwhile, Yakuchi Kei had already returned home.
Logically, he should have gone to the CCG Branch to claim credit first, but he felt it wasn't necessary. He was already on vacation, so it wouldn't be too late to go directly to the 1st Ward Headquarters when he had to work and pick up that S+ Quinque at the same time.
"I'm back."
Yakuchi Kei had already gotten used to this, after all, he wasn't living alone at home now.
"Welcome back, dear. Do you want to eat first? Or bathe? Or… let me enjoy you first~?"
Kamishiro Rize had already walked out of the living room.
Yakuchi Kei had also gotten used to being wantonly teased by Kamishiro Rize, but something seemed off about that sentence?
