Tokyo Ghoul: Twelve Talismans To Hammer The Gecko

Chapter 25: Blood Feast

“Thank you, Touka-san~”

Lin Ze looked up, a gentle smile on his face, watching Tsukiyama Shuu’s retreating back.

“Don’t misunderstand, I just purely dislike Tsukiyama, so I just wanted to drive him out.”

“I wasn’t helping you; don’t overthink it.”

Kirishima Touka let out a haughty huff, a faint blush flashing across her delicate, cool face.

She didn't know why she had spoken up for Lin Ze, even though she knew it would offend Tsukiyama Shuu.

It was just that in that instant, she had a very unpleasant feeling.

It was like someone had touched her belongings, or eaten her cake.

That feeling was truly, truly unpleasant!

However, Kirishima Touka herself couldn't explain why she felt this way.

It was just that by the time she realized it, the words had already left her mouth.

“But no matter what, you still helped me, that’s a fact~”

Lin Ze smiled slightly, looking at the tsundere beauty before him.

Listening to his gentle voice, looking at his handsome face.

For some reason, Kirishima Touka’s heart rate subtly quickened, and her breathing became much more rapid.

“I... I’m going back to work now~”

Perhaps feeling her cheeks flush, she turned and left, using work as an excuse.

“How cute~”

Lin Ze’s lips curved into a smile as he watched her flustered and clumsy retreating figure.

Indeed, tsundere and this kind of ice-cold clumsy beauty are a perfect match; this kind of contrast moe is simply unrivaled!

After finishing his coffee, he rested there for a while longer.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Lin Ze got up, paid at the counter, and planned to go out for lunch.

Just as he pushed open the door and left Antique, he noticed Tsukiyama Shuu standing at the entrance.

“Tsukiyama-san?”

Upon seeing him, Lin Ze proactively stepped forward to greet him.

“Ah, Mr. Lin Ze, I’ve been waiting for you here~”

Upon seeing that the person was Lin Ze, Tsukiyama Shuu’s eyes immediately lit up, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

“Waiting for me?”

Hearing this, Lin Ze immediately became interested.

“That’s right, isn’t it almost mealtime?”

“I’m waiting for you here because I want to invite you to have lunch together~”

Tsukiyama Shuu bowed like a gentleman, looking very elegant.

“Have lunch together?”

As soon as he heard about eating, Lin Ze immediately knew what he was thinking.

He probably wanted to use the excuse of a meal to take himself to his Ghoul Restaurant.

Then, he would probably have a disassembler cook chop him up and eat him in front of a large group of Ghoul Nobles.

That should be the process, after all, Jin Mu Yan went through the same thing back then.

However, even though Lin Ze knew that Tsukiyama Shuu harbored ill intentions towards him and wanted to eat him.

But Lin Ze not only wasn't disgusted, but became even more interested.

After all, he still had the Ox Talisman and Ma Talisman on him, so he was already half a Patriot.

What was there to be afraid of then? At worst, he would just slaughter them all.

Just as Lin Ze was thinking to himself, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

【You have triggered a limited-time quest: Feast of Blood】

【Quest Requirement: Accept Tsukiyama Shuu's invitation to the banquet, and massacre the entire banquet hall】

【Quest Reward: Random Weapon Reward】

Upon hearing the quest prompt, Lin Ze’s eyes instantly lit up.

This is great!

He had originally planned to join in the fun, and now he should go even more.

“Perfect, I’m hungry too, so I won’t be polite~”

Lin Ze nodded, looking very excited and pleased.

“I know a very good restaurant, I’ll take you there~”

Seeing this, Tsukiyama Shuu’s lips curved into a smile.

He never thought this kid would be so easy to fool, falling for it so simply.

He had originally been wondering if he failed this time, what other methods he should try.

But he didn't expect to succeed on the first try; this kid was truly naive!

Thinking of this, Tsukiyama Shuu couldn't help but swallow, feeling a bit impatient.

Soon, the two arrived at the restaurant he mentioned.

The restaurant's decor was incredibly beautiful, almost describable as opulent.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already reserved a private room~”

Tsukiyama Shuu nodded, a hint of reassurance in his eyes as he looked at Lin Ze beside him.

“Is that so?”

Lin Ze nodded, looking at the familiar layout around him.

That's right, this was the place where Jin Mu Yan was brought by Tsukiyama Shuu in the anime.

On the surface, it looked like just a restaurant, but in reality, there was a huge coliseum here.

And those Ghoul Nobles would enjoy watching humans being slaughtered and dismembered from the viewing stands.

Then they would share the meal, treating it as an elegant and wonderful dining experience.

The two entered the private room, which was even more beautiful than the outside.

“I’ve already ordered the dishes, please have a seat and wait for a moment.”

Tsukiyama Shuu, like a gentleman, pulled out a chair for him, very elegantly.

“Thank you.”

Lin Ze nodded, sat down very naturally, and then looked around.

“I’ve been to this restaurant many times; the food is very good and highly praised.”

Tsukiyama Shuu clasped his hands on the table, his voice very gentle.

“It’s said that even Takatsuki Sen-sensei has been here many times, maybe we might even run into her!”

He even tried to use the fact that Takatsuki Sen had eaten here to attract his attention.

“Oh, really?”

However, unfortunately, Lin Ze was not interested in this at all.

He just wanted to eat quickly right now, because he was genuinely a bit hungry.

But soon, the dishes were brought up, a full dozen or so dishes.

“So many dishes?”

“You’re really going all out, Tsukiyama-san~”

Seeing the table full of food, Lin Ze swallowed.

As expected of a top chef, every dish here looked incredibly delicious.

“It’s nothing, as long as you’re happy~”

Tsukiyama Shuu smiled slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Eat, eat, eat as much as you want, the more the better!

Humans are most delicious and palatable after a full meal.

Tsukiyama Shuu clasped his hands on the table and quietly watched him.

“Tsukiyama-san, aren’t you eating?”

Lin Ze ate heartily, looking up with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

“I’m not hungry; I already ate some while waiting for you.”

Tsukiyama Shuu gently shook his head, then apologetically rubbed his stomach.

Are you kidding? I definitely have to save my appetite to eat you!

After all, when a person is hungry, food tastes the most delicious and best~

For a seasoned gourmet, this is especially important.

Soon, Lin Ze had almost finished all the dishes on the table.

“You don’t like steak?”

Tsukiyama Shuu pointed to the almost untouched steak, a bit confused and curious.

“I don’t eat beef.”

Lin Ze wiped his mouth, his eyes showing a clear stupidity.

“After dinner, this restaurant also has a special show to watch, let’s go see it later.”

Although he didn't know what kind of habit not eating beef was, Tsukiyama Shuu didn't ask.

“But there’s a rule here: you must take a shower before watching the show; you have to go in clean.”

Hearing this, Lin Ze knew it was about time, and then nodded.

“Okay, I’ll go now~”

Upon hearing this, a gleam instantly flashed in Tsukiyama Shuu’s eyes.

“After you come out, someone will specially receive you, don’t worry~”

Forcing down his inner urge and excitement, Tsukiyama Shuu lightly coughed, a gentle yet false smile on his face.

Lin Ze nodded, then turned and went to the adjacent bathroom to shower.

After showering, he changed into a brand new suit and walked out of the bathroom.

“Please come this way, we have prepared coffee for you~”

A masked waiter led him to the dining table, then turned and left.

Lin Ze picked up the coffee on the table, drank it in one gulp, and then waited quietly.

A moment later, the surrounding lights instantly extinguished, and then the ground beneath his feet slowly rose.

As the ceiling rotated and moved, dazzling white light poured down from above.

Once the ground had fully risen, several beams of light also shone upon him.

“Hmm?”

Lin Ze looked around everything with great interest.

The layout here was the same as in the anime; the coliseum floor was stained red with blood, and there were severed limbs everywhere, looking very gory.

And in the viewing stands above, many masked Ghoul Nobles stood.

Upon seeing Lin Ze, they excitedly discussed today’s delicacy among themselves.

“Distinguished gourmets, today’s delicacy is provided by the MM clan!”

Amidst the host’s commentary and the cheers of the Ghoul Nobles.

Tsukiyama Shuu, wearing a mask, emerged from the top-tier noble seats, embracing two beautiful women.

“Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce this peerless delicacy I have found!”

“A unique existence in the world, today will be the most unforgettable day of your lives!”

Tsukiyama Shuu spread his arms, his voice impassioned and his emotions very excited.

Upon hearing this, the Ghoul Nobles below also continuously discussed among themselves.

“You can try to feel it, this peerless fragrance, this unique taste, it’s so wonderful~”

Tsukiyama Shuu, standing at the top, breathed deeply, a hint of intoxication and enjoyment on his face.

“This fragrance is simply irresistible!”

“How wonderful, can this truly be the fragrance a human can emit?”

“Wonderful, truly wonderful, please allow me to taste it.”

“As expected of the MM clan, as expected of the leader of gourmets!”

Perhaps after smelling the fragrance emanating from Lin Ze, the Ghoul Nobles instantly became excited, and their emotions grew agitated.

“Then let us not wait any longer; we invite Lady A’s personal disassembler!”

With a grand wave of Tsukiyama Shuu’s hand from the top-tier seats, the cage below also opened.

“Upon hearing that the MM clan brought a peerless delicacy, I specifically brought my favorite Xiaotailang along~”

A female Ghoul wearing green glasses covered her face with a fan, looking very proud and arrogant.

Boom~

After a loud noise, as the cage door opened.

A fat, burly, and huge figure walked out from inside.

“Please enlighten me, heh heh heh~”

Xiaotailang, wearing a red hood, carried a huge saw on his shoulder and bowed to the surrounding Ghoul Nobles.

“Saw you, saw you, saw you~”

Xiaotailang hummed a song, his fat body swaying as he walked towards him.

However, Lin Ze completely ignored him and turned to look at Tsukiyama Shuu above.

“Tsukiyama-san, thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend this banquet~”

Lin Ze also bowed to him like a gentleman, a slight smile curving on his lips.

Feast of Blood...

It's about to begin!
