The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"...."

This is already more outrageous than being issued a good guy card after confessing your love.

For a moment, she suddenly felt that she might as well die in the battle with the ghoul investigator.

Chapter 33 Coincidence or man-made?

"I'm really sorry. I see you can't let go, so I just made a joke."

Then this joke is too bad!

Kirishima Touka, who caught a glimpse of the bad nature of the man in front of her, looked at Lin Qiao with resentment, but the other party didn't show any concern at all.

It's completely like "you can be angry as long as I'm happy".

Hey, don't think that others can't see it, you're just perfunctory, right? Don’t you even pretend to do it?

"There is no sincerity at all. Rather, would anyone really apologize in a stick-reading tone?"

Even though the exchange lasted only a few minutes, Kirishima Touka had already confirmed that she had no good feelings for the completely unknown person in front of her.

Also, if you're sorry, just get out of here!

"Since I still have the energy to complain, it seems there shouldn't be a big problem."

He made an out-and-out quack statement. In his opinion, it was great to just wake up with a cramp in his back and not have any other thorny problems.

Anyway, in the final analysis, it's not him who's in pain, so it's not a big problem.

"Then the time to visit the doctor should be over. Rather than wasting time in vain, you should have many questions to ask."

Lin Qiao pointed out the theme directly.

"...Who is wasting time...?"

Forget it, Kirishima Touka is too lazy to say anything about this.

Just like what Lin Qiao said, compared to other messy things, she did have a lot of questions that needed to be answered after she had just woken up from a comatose state.

"Well, how long have I slept?"

"fifteen years....."

"Hello!"

"Okay, okay, probably more than an hour and less than two hours. For a nap, it's just the right length of time."

"Two, two hours...?"

Kirishima Touka, who was hiding under the quilt, made a surprised sound, and then subconsciously touched her smooth back, as if she didn't expect that such a short time had passed.

It's a good thing, but it's also a bit unexpected.

I calmed down as much as possible, but I could still hear the anxiety and trembling in my words: "What about Hinami and... Miss Ryoko? Are they safe now?"

Hinami's words were fine and she didn't suffer any injuries from beginning to end, but Miss Ryoko's words were probably...

Of course, she attributed everything to herself. Perhaps she was worried about hearing bad news, so Kirishima Touka tightened her grip on the quilt in her hand.

"Look here, don't look downcast. People who don't know would really think the banquet is about to start."

Looking at the blue-haired girl opposite who was inexplicably depressed, Lin Qiao clapped her hands and interrupted her random thoughts.

"Don't worry, they are fine. Although Miss Ryoko is still in a coma, she is out of danger now. If she lies down and rests for a while, she will be completely fine."

"As for Hinami, to be honest, I'm not very good at dealing with children, so I let her rest next door for now."

Lin Qiao said lightly that compared to Kirishima Touka's injury, which was not much but was located closer to an important part such as the spine, Fueguchi Ryoko's side was much easier to deal with.

Just take out the foreign matter inside, handle it briefly and then disinfect it with alcohol.

The most troublesome part is just excessive blood loss, but this is not impossible for him to solve.

Perhaps the only unsatisfactory part of the process was that they almost got into a fight with Madoka Furuma and Xuan Irimi, who thought their home had been stolen after returning to the cafe, causing Ryoko Fetteguchi to be almost affected.

"That's it, it'll be fine..."

After confirming that both of them were safe, Kirishima Touka's heart that had been hanging around finally fell to the ground, and she relaxed and leaned on the pillow behind her.

Even if she didn't like the red guy in front of her, she had to admit that it was thanks to him that some of the worst situations didn't happen this time.

but--

"Although I don't really want to hit you, in my opinion, it's still too early to relax at this time."

Lin Qiao waited patiently for a while, and after seeing that she had no intention of continuing to ask, she slowly spoke.

".....What's the meaning?"

"That's literally it. Don't you think this is all too coincidental?"

Deliberately pronouncing the word "coincidence" a little heavier, Lin Qiao's fingertips tapped the back of the chair rhythmically.

"Amazon happened to attack the coffee shop, and the Diguchi mother and daughter who escaped met the investigators who were targeting them by chance. Even from a probability perspective, what happened was not zero. But there are some things in this world that cannot be summed up by a simple statement of bad luck.”

Of course, it is a bit far-fetched to say this, but it does not prevent Lin Qiao from using the information gap between them to provide guidance in this regard.

Even if it is a coincidence, the blame can still be passed to another time traveler, and he will not lose anyway.

"So are you trying to say that someone is actually behind this?"

"Who knows, but it's not impossible."

“.....”

I can’t refute it.

For example, a bug crawled on someone’s back when he was out.

If no one reminded him, it would be fine, but once he understood this fact under the guidance of others, he would feel uncomfortable in various ways, even if the bug had long gone.

Just like now, I didn’t feel anything before, but after Lin Qiao said this, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

When she thought of this, she was extremely irritated, because if she really deduced it according to this idea, then the existence of the stable zone might have been exposed to some people.

Damn it!

Why should we be treated like this! Just because we are ghouls!

What’s wrong with ghouls! ? Do you think we want it! All we want is to survive! Is it not even possible to make such a request!

Gritting her teeth, she couldn’t accept this, and didn’t want to accept it.

"....Do you have evidence?"

"No."

"Then why are you still talking!?"

"What else? Do you think reality is a detective drama? Do you need me to learn from a certain elementary school student who is a god of death and stab you in the back?"

He rolled his eyes at Kirishima Touka. If there is evidence, he wants it too!

It would be best if it has the home address of the mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, do you think it's fun to scare yourself and fight wits with the air every day?

The most optimistic result is that this incident is really just a coincidence. The evidence is that he used himself as bait before, but he was not attacked until he transformed. It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.

-But it is more likely that the other party is collecting his combat data.

However, the key is that there is no way to verify it now...So Lin Qiao plans to do it the same as before and make preparations for both situations.

"But it's not a good habit to stand at the door and eavesdrop on others, manager."

"Cough..."

There was a slight cough outside the door, followed by a few knocks on the door. An old man with a kind face stood outside the door.

"Manager!?"

"Sorry, I just came back not long ago. I saw you young people chatting enthusiastically, so I didn't want to interrupt you."

The old man said with a faint smile on his face. Although he tried his best to act like an ordinary and kind old man, Lin Qiao couldn't really let down his guard against this former SSS-level ghoul.

Indeed, according to the current character of this unkillable owl, as long as he didn't take the initiative to become his enemy or destroy the existing balance in Area 20, he would be just an ordinary coffee shop owner.

But before that, there is one thing that needs to be figured out!

Even if the result is the same, it is essentially different whether the sword is held in one's own hand or in the hands of others.

And this is also the reason why he has not lifted the transformation.

Unless he is forced into a desperate situation, Lin Qiao will never rely on others for his safety.

"I have heard what happened from Furuma."

"Anyway, on behalf of everyone in Anding District, I thank you for helping the Fueguchi family and for saving Touka."

"Although it is just my personal opinion, if you want to talk about things, a girl's room may not be a good place, and Touka will also feel embarrassed."

Yoshimura Kousen turned aside and made a "please" gesture to Lin Qiao.

"——If you don't mind, please follow me to the reception room for a chat."

Chapter 34 Amazon is a human transformation

In the reception room on the third floor of Anding District, there are Shikata Renshi, who collects "food" for Anding District but rarely appears in front of guests, and Kirishima Touka, who has just recovered from a serious illness.

Almost all the members of the coffee shop gathered in this room that does not occupy a large area.

Uh...

"Why hasn't Kaneki come yet...? Forget it, I'll go find him."

After looking around and finding that the only person missing from the group was a half-witted figure, Kirishima Touka said in a low voice. After thinking for a while, she was about to turn around and call for help, but was stopped by Lin Qiao.

"No need to look for him, because I helped you and Miss Ryoko heal their injuries before, and he is probably lying in bed resting because of excessive blood loss."

"Blood loss? What do you mean... Wait, so the taste in my mouth before, could it be..." Kirishima Touka quickly realized something, widened her eyes, and subconsciously smacked her lips.

Looking at Kirishima Touka's stunned expression, Lin Qiao spread her hands helplessly.

Due to the ghoul transformation surgery performed by Akihiro Kano, Kaneki Ken has many more RC cells in his body than ordinary humans.

But its meat doesn't taste like rotten fish and shrimp like other ghouls, which can greatly reduce the psychological resistance of the eater... or taste resistance.

In general, Kaneki Ken is delicious and nutritious.

Of course, the above is only for ghouls.

By the way, due to the emergency situation at the time, there was really not much time for him to explain, so the unlucky child was completely dragged to bleed.

Moreover, because his own recovery ability exceeded that of ordinary ghouls, the process was not so... smooth.

Basically, the wound stopped bleeding before a few drops of blood were left, forcing Lin Qiao to give the unlucky child another knife.

——Then he was caught by Furuma Madoka and Irumi Xuan who came back, and it took a lot of effort to explain it clearly.

Black Dog, Demon Ape, Crow... and "Owl".

If the CCG investigators knew that the always stable District 20 had been hiding such ruthless characters, their faces would surely be very interesting.

But on the other hand.

It is precisely because of the existence of these ruthless characters that no other ghouls dare to cause trouble in District 20.

The only one who dared to break the rules, Rize Kamishiro, was punished by her childhood sweetheart.

It was a little different from usual. Everyone's eyes did not fall on Yoshimura Kousen, the initiator of the meeting, but tacitly focused on the red figure half lying on the sofa.

Or curiosity, or vigilance...

Lin Qiao, who was facing everyone's gaze, sat on the sofa casually.

He leaned back on the soft back cushion, one leg resting on the other leg, and on the coffee table in front of him was a plate of strawberry mousse cake and a cup of steaming coffee.

Just looking at the hot brown liquid inside, he was somewhat confused.

"Is it not to your taste?" As if noticing Lin Qiao's hesitation, Fangcun Gongshan, who was sitting on the main seat, asked.
