Night, 9 o’clock, in the living room behind Anteiku.
The usually imposing trio of Tatara, Ōmori Yakumo, and Kirishima Ayato were sitting on the sofa like children who had done something wrong, listening to the scolding from Touka:
“What do you want me to say about you three?
The cafe has clearly closed, and you are still eating inside.
Are you afraid that the CCG won’t discover you?”
Touka could understand the Ghouls’ longing for human food, but she still didn’t expect that even a Ghoul organization as famous as Aogiri Tree would make such a mistake for the sake of food.
“The dishes we ate this afternoon were all made by you?” Kirishima Ayato looked at Touka in confusion:
“When did you learn to cook human food?
And make it so that we can eat it too?”
Because they were siblings, Kirishima Ayato could speak to Touka without any restraint.
“Speak to me politely, you idiot.
The cake, ramen, and dishes you ate this afternoon were all made by me.” Touka had a headache over this younger brother who was full of gunpowder the moment they met.
“You haven’t answered me yet.
Why can you make human food that Ghouls can eat?” Kirishima Ayato continued to question Touka, not even calling her sister.
“Would it kill you to speak nicely?” Touka looked displeased.
“You answer me first!”
Kirishima Ayato attacked, extending his fist towards Touka’s abdomen without holding back at all.
Tatara, as well as Irimi Kaya and the others, did not step in to stop it, as if they had confidence in their own people.
“Th—this is impossible!”
Kirishima Ayato’s fist was easily caught by Touka, and she even appeared to have energy to spare:
“Did you think you could resist me after going out for a while?
You’re still far from it!
Idiot!”
Touka grabbed Kirishima Ayato’s hand and applied a little force.
The latter cried out in pain, and his other hand grabbed his own wrist, trying to pull it away, but he couldn’t break free no matter what.
Seeing Kirishima Ayato sweating from the pain, Touka released his fist as a lesson and gave it a light flick.
Kirishima Ayato clutched his palm and slowly sat back on the sofa, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Even in such pain, Kirishima Ayato continued to ask:
“You…
you have always stayed in such a comfortable place, how did you become so much stronger?”
Bang!
Touka’s fist smashed onto Kirishima Ayato’s head.
Kirishima Ayato’s tears even fell from the pain, and he shouted angrily: “What are you doing???”
“Call me sister!”
“You!”
Kirishima Ayato still wanted to be stubborn, but seeing Touka extend her fist again, he yielded under absolute power:
“Sister…”
“That’s more like it.”
After teaching her younger brother a lesson, Touka’s mood was visibly much better, and she answered the Aogiri Tree trio:
“Because this is an ability I obtained through a wish.
I am a Magical Girl.”
A wish?
“What are you talking about…”
“Hmm?”
Kirishima Ayato still wanted to refute subconsciously, but seeing Touka extend her fist, he quietly calmed down.
Tatara, who had been watching from the side, spoke: “Can I understand it as Miss Touka’s ability coming from a wish, and you also became a Magical Girl?”
“Do you really believe this kind of talk?” Kirishima Ayato still didn’t believe it.
“As long as it has happened, it is not an impossible thing.
Miss Touka has no reason to deceive us.” Tatara seemed to believe it.
“One last question, Miss Touka, did you kill Kamishiro Rize?” Tatara asked again.
“I killed her because she did not follow the rules and even tried to break them.” Touka admitted without hesitation.
She wasn’t worried at all about provoking certain forces.
“I understand.”
Hearing this, Tatara stood up from the sofa and bowed first: “Thank you for your hospitality.
I hope we can cooperate more in the future so that more Ghouls can eat human food.”
Tatara took Kirishima Ayato and Ōmori Yakumo out through the back door of Anteiku.
Before parting, Touka called out to Kirishima Ayato.
“What do you want?
I’m telling you, it’s impossible for me to stay in this comfortable place.” Kirishima Ayato thought Touka wanted to force him to stay.
Touka covered her forehead helplessly: “You idiot brother, can you learn how to speak properly?”
“I have no intention of controlling your life.
I just want you to protect yourself well.
The balance of Japan and even the world is about to be broken.”
“In the future, when you meet a Magical Girl, you must say that you have a Magical Girl sister.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Kirishima Ayato was unmoved on the surface, but actually took these words to heart.
He already believed what his sister said, but to break the existing balance?
Could it be that Magical Girl is an emerging organization?
He couldn’t think too much and had to leave Anteiku.
“Sorry, my idiot brother caused you trouble.” Touka said to everyone in the cafe.
“It’s not trouble.
Touka, your brother actually still cares about you, otherwise he wouldn’t be so emotional.” Koma Enji could see the side that the parties involved couldn’t see from a bystander’s perspective.
“Touka, thanks to you, our ideal has finally had a day where it can be realized.” Yoshimura sincerely thanked Touka for the changes she brought.
“Compared to me, you should thank Kyubey more.
If it weren’t for him, I would just be an ordinary Ghoul.” Touka talked about Kyubey and remembered the fact that she couldn’t find him:
“I don’t know why he can’t be called over recently.
He clearly promised that I could call him when I needed him.
This big liar!” Touka was a little angry.
“Maybe he really encountered something and couldn’t get away?” Irimi Kaya felt that Kyubey wouldn’t deceive Touka.
“Long time no see, Touka!”
Kyubey, who crawled in from the window, appeared on the second-floor escalator, looking down from above.
“Kyubey?”
Touka looked at the source of the sound. This story is hosted at g.com.
After seeing it was Kyubey, she suppressed the excitement in her heart and deliberately mocked:
“You still remember me?
I thought you had been hanging out with other Magical Girls all this time and didn’t even want to see me?”
Touka’s words made Yoshimura, Koma Enji, and Irimi Kaya realize that Kyubey had appeared, but they couldn’t talk to Kyubey and could only watch.
“What you said is true.
I have indeed been with other Magical Girls for the past week.”
“You!” Touka stared at Kyubey through gritted teeth.
She was just saying it casually, she didn’t expect Kyubey to have actually done so!
Seeing that Touka was really angry, Kyubey hurriedly continued to explain: “It’s not that I wanted to be with her.
It’s that I suffered the consequences of my own actions and was forcibly tied by her side for a week before being rescued by other Magical Girls.”
Touka’s anger turned into confusion after hearing these words: “Forcibly tied by her side?
What does that mean?”
“It’s a long story.
I’ll tell you slowly.
Besides visiting Touka-chan, I specifically brought a friend to meet Touka.”
“Arisu-chan, you can come in now.”
As soon as Kyubey finished speaking, a silver-haired short-haired girl appeared on the second floor, looking down at Touka and the others, and introduced herself to them:
“Hello, Senior.
I am also one of Kyubey’s contractors, and like you, I am a Magical Girl.”
Sakayanagi Arisu’s gaze glanced at Irimi Kaya who was vigilant below her, and Koma Enji feigned surprise:
“Oh my?
There are actually Ghouls here?
It looks like they should be stronger than that trash~”
Hearing this, Irimi Kaya and Koma Enji became even more nervous, and they both opened their Kakugan as if they were facing a great enemy.
“Hey!
What do you want to do?” Touka thought this girl was going to attack the manager and the others, and clenched the pendant inside her collar.
“Arisu-chan, don’t scare them.”
Seeing that Touka was ready to fight, Kyubey jumped onto Sakayanagi Arisu’s shoulder.
“I’m not here to fight.
Just like what Kyubey said, I’m here to meet my Senior.”
“Please treat me well, Senior~”
Sakayanagi Arisu jumped directly from the second floor into the living room and reached out to Touka.
Touka glanced at her with a cold expression: “There’s no need for a handshake.
Our relationship is not that good.”
“It’s okay, I won’t force my Senior.”
“Greetings, my name is Sakayanagi Arisu.
How should I address you, Senior?” Sakayanagi Arisu was not angry at Touka’s rejection and reached out to Touka politely.
“Touka.”
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
