…
“Don’t be nervous. Review first. I’ll organize the knowledge points for you based on your test papers.”
Seeing Touka sitting upright with a serious expression, Gao Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
Gao Yu flipped through several science textbooks and compared the relevant knowledge points with those on the test papers.
He tried to organize the more difficult ones as quickly as possible.
This couldn’t be rushed and required time.
He could only work through it little by little.
However, after his mental abilities had improved, Gao Yu was more than capable.
He could almost organize the knowledge points after looking through them just once.
Time slowly passed.
Gao Yu spent half an hour organizing everything, taking notes in the textbooks and having Touka focus on memorizing them.
Afterward, Gao Yu analyzed the difficulty of the knowledge points on each test paper and explained the methods for solving the problems.
“This question sets a trap in the wording. You need to be careful to discover the corresponding approach. It’s a very common trick. Just do more problems like this and you’ll be fine.”
Gao Yu pointed at a mathematics problem.
What kind of problem couldn’t be solved?
Do it several more times.
After going through the knowledge points in his mind, Gao Yu casually wrote several similar problems for Touka to practice.
“Mm, I understand, but what about the method? The teacher didn’t explain it clearly, so I didn’t understand.”
Touka listened attentively and quickly took notes with her pen.
“Ah~, this feeling is so warm.”
Kaya sighed in satisfaction, feeling as though the atmosphere between the two had healed her.
When Touka slightly raised her eyes, she could see Gao Yu’s features, his eyes filled with warmth.
Gao Yu was very good at explaining things, and his enhanced mental strength allowed him to easily organize his words in his mind, making his explanations flow smoothly.
It seemed he hadn’t forgotten his knowledge.
Pleasant and relaxed time always passed quickly.
Gao Yu explained things very quickly, and it didn’t take long for him to organize the difficult points of several test papers for her.
Touka was completely immersed in her studies.
Even the teachers at school couldn’t explain things as well as Gao Yu.
Gao Yu was completely tailoring his explanations to her.
…
At night, Gao Yu stretched lazily.
He had already left Anteiku, eaten a small but filling meal, and was strolling through Tokyo.
He stood by the river, leaning against the railing as he watched the sparkling water.
The gentle breeze brushed against his hair and hit his face, creating a tingling sensation.
Feeling the evening breeze was a pleasant thing.
Gao Yu always liked going out for walks at night.
Moonlight spilled through the darkness, neon lights illuminated the ground, and swaying leaves rustled in the wind.
Everything was so reassuring.
Gao Yu was continuously evolving now, so he didn’t have to worry about being killed by a ghoul.
Moreover, he deliberately walked around near a CCG headquarters.
Oh, you mean the CCG’s established families are ghouls.
Then never mind.
Thinking about tutoring Touka earlier, Gao Yu laughed.
He didn’t know if he had been too strict, but he always felt that Touka had been very restrained, her slender waist held perfectly straight.
When his gaze moved downward, he could see curves like a full moon.
Uh, Touka had really developed nicely.
He hadn’t expected such astonishing fruits to be hidden beneath her slightly loose casual clothes.
Gao Yu rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Speaking of which, could Touka be considered a slender branch bearing plump fruit?
His thoughts flew in all directions when Gao Yu suddenly raised his head and looked toward the other side of the river.
She was wearing a suit that tightly wrapped her proud, delicate figure.
Her long, straight legs beneath the trousers seemed longer than life itself.
Her willow-like waist could seemingly be grasped with one hand, and Gao Yu fell silent.
How did such a thin waist connect the upper and lower halves?
The upper half was clearly stretched tightly by the suit.
Could such a slender waist really support it?
If it couldn’t, then just let go and let me do it.
Gao Yu shook his head, while an inexplicable expression appeared on Kiyoko’s heroic and spirited face.
He hadn’t expected to meet this person again.
She had thought she would never see him again.
She didn’t come this way often, and Gao Yu had his own affairs as well, yet they had run into each other again after just over a week.
“Miss Aura.”
Gao Yu waved in greeting.
Kiyoko nodded and came over from the nearby bridge.
“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you again, Miss Aura.”
Gao Yu glanced at her twice without looking any further.
Kiyoko’s figure really was perfect.
Her 168-centimeter height paired with the CCG investigator suit was truly eye-catching, especially under the hazy night, where she had an especially mature and imposing aura.
Kiyoko’s observational skills were astonishing, so she naturally noticed Gao Yu’s gaze.
However, since Gao Yu had only looked twice, she didn’t care.
When going outside, she received plenty of such gazes.
It didn’t matter that she was wearing a lot.
“It really is a coincidence.” Kiyoko leaned against the railing, still carrying the briefcase in one hand.
Gao Yu glanced at the briefcase.
Inside was her quinque, Zebizu, a powerful S+ – rank quinque.
She had also been carrying the briefcase the last time he met her.
She really never let her quinque leave her side.
“Are you carrying out an investigation mission, Miss Aura?”
Gao Yu asked curiously.
“No. I came out for a walk. The area under my jurisdiction is peaceful, so I have some time to walk around.”
Kiyoko shook her head.
Noticing his gaze, she tightened her grip on the briefcase.
“There’s a quinque inside. It’s not anything else.”
“I’m not curious about what’s inside. It’s just that this kind of briefcase looks quite conspicuous.”
Kiyoko relaxed slightly.
As long as he wasn’t asking to see it, that was fine.
“It’s the weapon a CCG investigator carries with them. Sorry, but I can’t show it to you.”
“I don’t look like someone who doesn’t know how to read the situation, do I?”
Gao Yu had a very good appearance.
Although he was slender, he was tall.
Being tall could conceal many shortcomings, and it wasn’t an exaggeration.
Moreover, he was handsome, with fairly gentle facial features.
This kind of appearance naturally gave people a favorable impression.
“No, that’s not what I meant.” Kiyoko shook her head.
Her impression of Gao Yu was quite good.
“Alright.” Gao Yu shrugged and didn’t take it to heart.
“After that day, have any more ghouls followed you?” The silence made Kiyoko feel slightly uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, the only thing she and Gao Yu had experienced together was the previous incident, so she brought it up.
“No.”
There were ghouls everywhere in Anteiku, but none had followed him, so they didn’t count.
“That day, I really have you to thank, Miss Aura.”
Kiyoko neither agreed nor disagreed.
She said nothing more and quietly leaned against the railing.
The cool breeze brushed against her cheeks, and Kiyoko tucked the strands of hair falling beside her face behind her ear.
Seeing this, Gao Yu said, “Would you like to have a cup of coffee to warm yourself up?”
“Sure.” Kiyoko thought for a moment and gently nodded.
Gao Yu wondered if bringing Kiyoko to Anteiku would completely blow everything up.
During this period, the CCG didn’t know that everyone inside Anteiku was a ghoul.
More precisely, they didn’t know much about the ghoul forces in the 20th Ward.
If Kiyoko went there, it would be fine if she didn’t discover anything.
But if she did, things would become very interesting.
Just imagining Kiyoko’s shocked expression made Gao Yu want to laugh.
She was always so calm.
Her shocked expression would probably be very interesting.
However, Gao Yu didn’t go to Anteiku.
Kiyoko would get beaten to a pulp.
No joke, she really would get beaten to a pulp.
Moreover, Touka was still at Anteiku.
He wouldn’t bring Kiyoko there.
Gao Yu searched for a coffee shop on his phone and led the way, while Kiyoko beside him thoroughly observed the pedestrians around them.
Gao Yu could barely hold back his laughter.
She had come out for a walk while carrying her quinque, her gaze inconspicuously sweeping over every pedestrian.
This wasn’t resting at all.
This was coming out to conduct an investigation.
