It took less than ten minutes for the CCG personnel to arrive and handle the aftermath.
“Let’s go.” Gao Yu glanced at Aura Kiyoko.
She was following closely beside him and showed no intention of leaving.
Gao Yu helplessly walked forward, heading directly home this time without going to Anteiku.
Kiyoko was a Special-Class Investigator, and everyone at Anteiku was a ghoul.
Going there would cause quite a commotion.
Gao Yu did not remember much about Kiyoko’s personality from the original work.
Her insistence on escorting Gao Yu home had warmed his heart considerably.
In a world where ghouls ate humans, there were still many kind-hearted people.
“Miss Aura, being an investigator must be a very difficult job. You have my thanks for your hard work.”
Gao Yu spoke softly.
Kiyoko did not say much along the way.
She was truly a cold and aloof beauty.
“It’s alright. Killing ghouls is an investigator’s duty. I will do my best.”
Kiyoko spoke indifferently.
In truth, her workload was not particularly heavy.
As a Special-Class Investigator, there were not many ghouls who did not know about her rank, and normally, no ghoul would dare act arrogantly in front of her.
Normally, she only needed to guard her assigned area.
Only when ghouls of S-rank or higher appeared would she need to constantly show up.
“Miss Aura, you should be more careful. Some ghouls are very strong, right?” Gao Yu sighed emotionally.
There were not many impressive moments involving Kiyoko in the original story, but her Special-Class title was genuine.
She was very strong, but no matter how strong she was, she could not compare with the monsters in the original story.
As a woman, becoming a Special-Class Investigator despite having physical functions inferior to men meant that she was already one of the strongest humans.
Unfortunately, some ghouls were simply too monstrous, and Kaneki Ken was the protagonist.
Kiyoko slightly turned her head.
The concern on Gao Yu’s face did not seem fake.
“Thank you for your concern.”
Kiyoko quickened her pace, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings and checking for any ghouls.
Gao Yu chuckled.
Kiyoko’s serious appearance made him find her cute, although calling an aloof beauty with such a face and figure cute seemed somewhat strange.
Come to think of it, on his first day after transmigrating, everyone he encountered had been heavyweight figures.
Touka was practically an angel, at least as far as Gao Yu was concerned.
There was no need to mention the other employees at Anteiku.
Any one of them could be thrown out and cause a stir within the CCG.
Kiyoko was a Special-Class Investigator, and her strength was not to be underestimated.
She was also an aloof beauty in both appearance and figure.
She was simply too good.
Well, except for that weakling from earlier.
At his front door, Gao Yu said, “Miss Aura, if you’re not busy, would you like to come in for a glass of water?”
Some habits were preserved deep in a person’s bones, and Gao Yu was no exception. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Kiyoko hesitated for a while, seeming somewhat tempted, but then shook her head.
“It’s getting late. I’ll take my leave first.”
Nighttime was when ghouls were most active.
She was preparing to return and guard her area to prevent any unexpected incidents.
“Alright. Take care on your way, Miss Aura.”
Gao Yu entered his home.
Kiyoko watched him safely enter the house before turning around and walking into the darkness.
It was still early, only around eight o’clock.
Gao Yu took out his phone and browsed short videos.
That’s right, this world also had similar apps.
They simply were not as popular worldwide as TikTok.
Fragmented videos were often the biggest time sink.
As he watched, Gao Yu gradually felt sleepy.
After a simple wash, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
…
The next day.
Gao Yu woke up refreshed.
Sitting on the soft sofa, Gao Yu opened the system panel.
[Gao Yu]
[Evolution Value: Human (59/100)]
Gao Yu was surprised.
After absorbing the energy from the dead ghoul yesterday, his evolution value had directly increased by 1.
He had originally thought that was the limit, but he had not expected his body to enter a brief period of explosive growth, using the energy from the ghoul to rapidly draw heavenly energy into his body.
Gao Yu stood up and jumped twice, then clenched his fists and swung them lightly.
He could personally feel that he had become much stronger.
[Note: Your body is rapidly becoming stronger. Among ordinary humans, you are still a weakling, but you barely possess the qualifications to advance into the ranks of the strong.]
Gao Yu stroked his chin and chuckled.
This feeling was truly wonderful.
His body automatically absorbed heavenly energy, so he did not need to do anything himself.
The speed was a little slow, and it would become slower and slower in the future.
Every time he broke through a major ten-point threshold, the speed would probably decrease.
But without having to fight to the death, this feeling of getting something for free was truly refreshing.
Sunlight from outside the window fell into the living room.
Gao Yu stood up and stretched lazily, then brought the new books he had bought and headed toward Anteiku.
He was going to Anteiku to read novels and see Touka.
The Anteiku coffee shop was filled with a cheerful atmosphere that morning.
As for why…
“Touka, Touka-chan, I want coffee made by you personally!”
Kosaka Yoriko raised her right hand high, swaying her body from side to side.
“Alright, alright, don’t be so loud. I’ll make you a cup.”
Touka helplessly covered her forehead.
There was nothing wrong with her friend, except that her slightly hyperactive personality gave her a headache.
“Ehehe, coffee personally made by Touka-chan~” Yoriko held her face, wearing a brilliant smile.
“Touka-chan, I’ll leave it to you.” Irimi Kaya walked out from behind the counter with a smile.
Touka walked behind the counter.
Although she was helpless, she was actually quite happy.
Kosaka Yoriko was her good friend on the human side.
Well, as long as she did not make her a pile of food, Touka acknowledged Yoriko as a friend.
“Touka, the usual. One cup of coffee.”
Gao Yu pushed open the door and waved at Touka with a smile.
Touka subconsciously nodded at him, then suddenly turned toward Yoriko.
Sure enough, she was shifting her gaze back and forth between the two of them.
Touka’s heart skipped a beat.
She silently displayed her elegant coffee-making skills with her hands.
Yoriko’s eyes suddenly lit up as she continuously sized up Gao Yu.
Gao Yu noticed a girl staring at him and nodded at her before sitting in his usual spot.
He opened the book in his hands, “The MacGuffin of the Hangman”, another work by Takatsuki Sen.
He remembered that Kaneki Ken had met and spoken with her at the signing event for this book in the original story.
As a novel that advanced the plot, Gao Yu read it with great interest.
When Touka brought over a cup of coffee, Gao Yu raised his head and looked at her.
“…What is it?” Gao Yu’s gentle gaze made Touka nervous, especially with Yoriko glaring at them from the side.
“Touka is cute today too.”
After giving her his daily compliment, Gao Yu took a small sip of coffee and gave her a thumbs-up.
“The coffee is delicious.”
After finishing his compliment, Gao Yu looked at Touka’s still youthful and pretty face for a while before lowering his head and immersing himself in the story of the novel.
Ah, it’s over.
Yoriko will definitely pester her with questions.
The compliment made Touka’s ears turn red, but the gaze from the side was like a scorching sun.
The blush faded, and she felt that a headache was about to begin.
Touka braced herself and brought the coffee to Yoriko.
Before she could leave, Yoriko grabbed her wrist.
“Touka! What’s going on? Could it be that you two…”
Yoriko’s gaze repeatedly wandered over Gao Yu before locking onto Kirishima Touka.
Good heavens, the aloof goddess at school was actually flirting with a handsome guy, and Touka was even responding enthusiastically!
The handsome guy complimented Touka, and Touka smiled and softly said, “Darling~”
The above was Yoriko’s imagination.
From her angle, she could not see Touka’s face at all.
But this was gossip!
It was gossip about Touka!
Yoriko was right there on the front lines eating the melon!
