Touka Kirishima leaned down and sniffed Yakuchi Kei 's neck.
Since she had no such thoughts in her mind, she wasn't embarrassed or shy at all.
"..."
Yakuchi Kei didn't quite understand what Touka Kirishima was trying to do.
Was she trying to distinguish if he was human or Ghoul?
Touka Kirishima closed her eyes in thought for a moment, actually analyzing the scent.
However, besides Kamishiro Rize's scent, there was no obvious Ghoul scent on the other person.
Rather, it was clearly the scent of a human, perfectly normal.
Now Touka Kirishima believed even less that the masked person who saved them was Yakuchi Kei , because she clearly remembered that person's eyes were red.
Although she vaguely felt that those eyes seemed different from her Kagune, she only knew that ordinary humans certainly wouldn't have such eyes.
Just then, Ryoko Fueguchi and Fueguchi Hinami, who had already come upstairs, walked into the lounge.
However, from their perspective, Yakuchi Kei 's face was precisely blocked by Touka Kirishima's face.
At first glance, it looked as if they were...
Although Fueguchi Hinami was still young, she understood quite a bit, and this scene immediately made her misunderstand.
"Sor...sorry! I shouldn't have disturbed you!"
Fueguchi Hinami, like a startled little rabbit, immediately fled the room.
Her cute little face was slightly flushed, and she was incredibly surprised. Didn't Touka say she wasn't familiar with that big brother? How could they be doing something so exciting as soon as they came up?
"You two continue, I won't disturb you anymore."
Ryoko Fueguchi smiled somewhat awkwardly, and also prepared to exit.
Touka Kirishima immediately realized she had been misunderstood, and she quickly explained, "No! You must have misunderstood something!"
Afterward, Touka Kirishima took a considerable amount of effort to explain clearly to Ryoko Fueguchi and Fueguchi Hinami in a very low voice outside the room.
For a time, only Yakuchi Kei sat quietly in the lounge, drinking coffee.
Although Touka Kirishima outside the door deliberately spoke very softly so he couldn't hear, he could roughly guess that Touka Kirishima and the Fueguchi mother and daughter had called him up because of yesterday's incident, probably suspecting his identity and wanting to confirm it.
A moment later, Touka Kirishima, Ryoko Fueguchi, and Fueguchi Hinami came back in.
At this moment, Touka Kirishima had regained her calm expression and said to Yakuchi Kei , "These two are the ones who wanted to meet you."
Then Touka Kirishima and the Fueguchi mother and daughter all sat opposite Yakuchi Kei .
Fueguchi Hinami
Yakuchi Kei looked at Ryoko Fueguchi and Fueguchi Hinami with a puzzled gaze.
"Um..."
At this point, Fueguchi Hinami spoke first, "Big brother, you saved us yesterday, didn't you? First of all, thank you very much!..."
Fueguchi Hinami paused for a moment, then continued, "And then, although I don't know big brother, big brother, you should know my father, right?"
[Ding! Host has activated a mission, initiating God-tier Choice!]
[Choice One: Play dumb, looking bewildered and stating that you don't understand what the other party is saying. Reward: 5 Fusion Points!]
[Choice Two: Admit that the person yesterday was you, but you disengaged midway, and the Ghoul Investigator who ultimately expelled "Gecko" was someone else. Reward: 10 Fusion Points!]
[Choice Three: Admit that the person was you, and reveal your CCG Investigator identity. Reward: 50 Fusion Points!]
Facing Fueguchi Hinami's question and the choices given by the system, Yakuchi Kei 's mind raced.
First, admitting it was him should be fine; after all, no one saw his performance in battle except for the now-deceased "Gecko." As for the Sharingan that was seen at the time, he could just find any reason to fool them.
Secondly, revealing his Investigator identity... he had already thought of a plan...
"Yes, that person yesterday was me. As for your father... may I ask if your father's name is Kiguchi Asaki?"
Yakuchi Kei responded with a smile.
He ultimately did not deliberately hide his identity, as long as there were no future troubles.
Upon hearing this, Fueguchi Hinami's face immediately showed joy. It was indeed this big brother, and he also knew her father.
"Yes!"
Fueguchi Hinami immediately nodded, "Big brother must be my father's friend, right?"
Her judgment was based on the fact that the other party had saved them yesterday.
However, at this moment, Touka Kirishima became a little restless, "But that person yesterday clearly..."
She almost blurted out that the person was a Ghoul, but fortunately, she realized in time that she shouldn't casually bring up such topics in front of outsiders, and immediately covered her mouth with her hand.
"You want to talk about those eyes, right? At that time, I was on an investigation mission, and for convenience, I wore a pair of colored contacts. They looked a bit like Kagune but were actually completely different, specifically used to mislead targets."
Yakuchi Kei explained with a calm expression, "As for the mask at the time, it also only served to mislead."
This serious nonsense almost showed no flaws.
"Ah... Is that so?"
Touka Kirishima didn't immediately react to the key point in the other party's words. The next moment, she suddenly realized something was wrong, "Wait! You said you were on an investigation mission at the time? Are you...?..."
This kind of terminology generally exists among Ghoul Investigators.
Could the other party be a CCG Investigator?
When she and Yomo Renji went there, the news they received was that "Gecko" had been expelled by a Ghoul Investigator. Didn't that just match up perfectly?
"If you're asking about a Ghoul Investigator, I am indeed a CCG Investigator."
Yakuchi Kei stated calmly and directly, "So, little sister over there, I am not your father's friend."
[Ding! Host has completed Choice Three, gaining reward: 50 Fusion Points!]
Upon hearing this, Ryoko Fueguchi and Fueguchi Hinami's expressions immediately changed.
The other party was a Ghoul Investigator, and had even been in contact with their husband (father). Hadn't they already been exposed by the other party?!...
Moreover, when fighting "Gecko," Ryoko Fueguchi and Touka Kirishima had both released their Kagune, clearly indicating they were Ghouls, and their Ghoul identities had been discovered by this Ghoul Investigator in front of them...
For both Touka Kirishima and the Fueguchi mother and daughter, this was very bad news.
Because basically any Ghoul whose identity is discovered by a Ghoul Investigator will be pursued relentlessly.
Touka Kirishima even had the thought of killing him to silence him. She absolutely did not want the peaceful and beautiful current situation of "Anteiku" to be destroyed. If the other party left "Anteiku" alive, the consequences would be unimaginable!
But she immediately calmed down. She had been too agitated just now and almost forgot that the other party had the strength to expel "Gecko"...
