Tokyo Ghoul: Twelve Talismans To Hammer The Gecko

Chapter 24: Who is the hunter and who is the prey?

When people see delicious food, they always feel hungry.

And this is your body's instinct reminding you that it's time to eat, time to feed.

This is true not only for humans but also for Ghouls.

The moment he saw Lin Ze, Tsukiyama Shuu's brain didn't even have time to think.

But the faint scent floating in the air had already stirred his Ghoul instincts.

Gulp~

Tsukiyama Shuu swallowed, feeling a bit hungry.

Even though he had just eaten before coming, he still felt hungry now.

This was all because Lin Ze in front of him was simply too tempting, like a gourmet meal laid out before his eyes.

"Oh~"

"My goodness, how can there be such a delicacy in the world~"

Tsukiyama Shuu murmured softly, a hint of disbelief still in his eyes.

But soon, he calmed down and walked straight over.

"Sir, may I sit across from you?"

Tsukiyama Shuu bowed like a gentleman, his voice soft, his movements very elegant.

"Of course, please have a seat."

Lin Ze nodded, not surprised.

After all, the characteristic of his angelic succubus physique was that he was quite appealing to Ghouls.

And Tsukiyama, being a gourmet, naturally couldn't resist this unique aura.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Tsukiyama Shuu, please guide me~"

Tsukiyama Shuu sat down and elegantly extended a hand.

"Lin Ze."

Lin Ze nodded and reached out to shake hands.

Upon getting closer, a faint fragrance wafted over, along with the warm, soft feeling in his palm.

In just an instant, a hint of enjoyment and satisfaction surfaced in Tsukiyama Shuu's heart.

That's right, this is the feeling, it's wonderful, it's marvelous~

"May I ask, Mr. Tsukiyama Shuu, what can I do for you?"

Lin Ze took a sip of coffee, a hint of interest in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Tsukiyama Shuu's gaze swept around and quickly noticed 'black goat' conveniently placed by his hand.

"You might not know it, but I am a loyal reader of Takatsuki Sen's books, I really love the books she writes~"

"You may not know, but among them, my favorite is 'black goat' written by her."

"I didn't expect to meet a fellow book lover here, it truly makes me unable to contain my joy."

"That's why I suddenly interrupted, please forgive me, Mr. Lin Ze~"

Tsukiyama Shuu's voice was gentle and light, with a hint of apology mixed in his words.

This elegant demeanor made it hard for people not to feel a natural sense of closeness to him.

However, Lin Ze knew that everything he said was a lie.

He probably hadn't even heard of Takatsuki Sen, let alone read her books.

But Lin Ze was actually quite similar; this book had been sitting there for so long, and he hadn't even turned a page.

"Is that so?"

Lin Ze nodded, feigning surprise and astonishment: "I didn't expect Mr. Tsukiyama to also like Takatsuki Sen's books, that truly surprises me."

"Indeed, Takatsuki Sen's writing is beautiful, her style is leisurely, and it gives people a natural sense of closeness when they read it."

Tsukiyama Shuu nodded, his speech elegant, his demeanor proper.

There was no hint that he was fabricating things and speaking nonsense.

"I think so too, it's absolutely true."

Lin Ze nodded, unable to help but agree.

And so, two 'book lovers' who had never actually read Takatsuki Sen's books started discussing, one after another.

"Enough, a coffee shop is a quiet place, don't talk loudly here."

Perhaps unable to bear it any longer, Kirishima Touka stood up and interrupted their conversation.

"Miss Touka, Mr. Lin Ze and I share similar interests, it feels like we've met too late."

"We can keep our voices down, but could you please not disturb us?"

Tsukiyama Shuu nodded gently, a gentle and elegant smile in his eyes as he looked at her.

This was undoubtedly him conveying to her: This is my prey, do not disturb my hunt.

"No, you are already disturbing others, so please leave, Tsukiyama!"

Kirishima Touka clearly understood what he meant, but she didn't back down in the slightest.

"You're making this very difficult for me, Miss Touka~"

Tsukiyama Shuu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of threat in his gaze.

"Difficult, huh? Then don't bother!"

Kirishima Touka chuckled, a cold glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Just as the tense atmosphere was about to ignite, Tsukiyama Shuu chose to back down.

"Miss Touka, I apologize for what I just said, I will leave now."

"Only..."

At this point, Tsukiyama Shuu suddenly paused, his gaze falling on Lin Ze beside him.

"Then, Mr. Lin Ze, shouldn't he also leave with me?"

Seeing himself being dragged into it, Lin Ze was about to retort.

"Mr. Lin Ze has always been quiet; it's because you actively harassed him."

"So, it's none of his business."

Kirishima Touka nodded, a hint of provocation in her cool, beautiful eyes.

Her words, both spoken and implied, were practically saying that Lin Ze was her prey, something she had her eyes on.

Seeing Touka being so protective, Tsukiyama Shuu was a bit surprised, but this only made him more interested in Lin Ze.

"In that case, I shall take my leave now~"

Tsukiyama Shuu apologized with a nod, then bowed like a gentleman to everyone in the coffee shop.

Before leaving, his gaze fell on Lin Ze, and he softly said:

"Mr. Lin Ze, we couldn't discuss to our heart's content today, if there's a chance in the future, let's discuss again~"

After speaking, he gracefully turned and left, very elegant.

..........

"Lin Ze, huh?"

Tsukiyama Shuu leaned against the door, a slight smile curving his lips.

It was truly unbelievable that such a delicacy existed in the world.

Recalling that sweet and wonderful scent, a hint of intoxication and daze flashed in Tsukiyama Shuu's eyes.

It was just a pity that this wonderful rendezvous was interrupted.

He couldn't help but recall Kirishima Touka's exquisite yet cool face and her protective tone.

"To be able to make Miss Touka, who always dislikes humans so much, stand up for someone."

"I'm truly becoming more and more interested in you, Mr. Lin Ze~"

Tsukiyama Shuu licked his lips, a hint of excitement and pleasure flashing in his eyes.

It had been a long time since he had encountered such an exciting prey.........
