Ghoul: Starting with Sharingan

Since they had agreed to go shopping together today, Eto had already brought Mayu to the lobby of the CCG headquarters in the 1st Ward to wait.

As long as they stayed in the lobby, they didn't need to pass through the RC detection gate, so there was no need to worry about Mayu being discovered.

Except for someone like Kureo from the original timeline, who had an unusually sharp intuition and a deep hatred for ghouls, no investigator would forcibly drag an ordinary person through the RC detection gate.

Coincidentally, Kureo and his wife, Kasuka, were sitting on the couch in the lobby, chatting with Eto and Mayu.

"Miss Eto, is this your or Investigator Byakuya's younger sister?"

Kureo couldn't help but ask.

He thought it couldn't possibly be his daughter, right? She looked older than Akira.

At this point, Kureo hadn't yet reached the level of shrewdness he had in the original timeline. Moreover, Eto and Mayu didn't show any unusual behavior like Kaneki, so they naturally didn't raise any suspicions.

"Yes, this is my younger sister, Mayu."

Eto then said to Mayu, "Say hello to Uncle and Auntie."

Mayu nodded obediently. "Uncle, Auntie, nice to meet you. Please take care of me."

Although she had been brought to the CCG by Eto, knowing that Byakuya was the strongest investigator in the CCG, she no longer felt any fear of this place.

So, her demeanor was very natural.

Kureo and Kasuka also responded with friendly smiles.

At that moment, Byakuya arrived with Furuta and Rize.

"Big brother Byakuya is here."

Eto said to Mayu.

Byakuya exchanged a few words with Kureo and Kasuka before leaving the CCG with Eto and the others.

On one side was Mayu, and on the other were Furuta and Rize.

Both sides looked at each other with curiosity.

Although Mayu had already heard from Eto that she would meet two children around her age today, she still didn't know who they were and couldn't help but feel curious.

Furuta and Rize felt the same way.

"Are you Eto's sister, Mayu?"

Furuta was the first to speak.

"Yes"

Mayu also spoke up. "Furuta, Rize, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

Furuta responded with a smile.

Rize, however, looked somewhat displeased, as she didn't like seeing Furuta chatting and laughing with Mayu.

So, she didn't want to respond.

At this point, Furuta reminded her, "Rize, she's saying hello to you."

Rize's expression changed slightly, and her displeasure grew.

But she still replied, "Hello..."

Though her tone was less than enthusiastic.

...

As long as they were within the 1st Ward and accompanied by Byakuya, Furuta and Rize were free to move around.

The Washuu clan didn't deliberately send people to monitor them at all times, as they trusted Byakuya enough.

Therefore, Byakuya and Eto took the three children around, shopping for things they liked.

During this time, Mayu naturally interacted a lot with Furuta and Rize.

Before this, she had never had childhood friends, so spending time with peers was a new and exciting experience for her.

However, Mayu noticed that the girl named Rize seemed rather cold toward her.

Although she didn't know the reason, she reduced her interactions with Rize to avoid making her more upset.

But because of this, Mayu ended up spending more time with Furuta...

This left Mayu confused. Even though she had tried to avoid Rize, she could feel Rize's gaze growing even colder.

Byakuya didn't pay much attention to the children's little dramas, but Eto watched with great interest.

...

After they had finished shopping, it was time to take Furuta and Rize back to the Sunlit Garden.

Eto took Mayu home first, as they obviously couldn't go to a place like the Sunlit Garden together.

Back at the Sunlit Garden, Furuta excitedly said to Byakuya, "I'll definitely come up with the most comprehensive plan. I'll do my best not to drag you into trouble."

"Don't worry about whether you'll drag me into trouble. I'll have my own solution when the time comes."

Byakuya wanted to ease Furuta's pressure.

After all, no plan could be perfect, and no matter what, it would involve him to some extent. When that time came, it would also be the moment for him to reveal his true intentions.

After Byakuya left, Furuta finally asked Rize, "Rize, were you feeling unwell today?"

He had vaguely sensed that something was off with Rize earlier, but only now did he ask.

"What about you? You seemed quite interested in that girl named Mayu, didn't you?"

Rize asked coldly.

"Yeah, it's rare to make friends with a human. It feels interesting."

Furuta nodded honestly.

Clearly, he didn't know that Mayu's true identity was a ghoul.

Rize's eyes gradually grew colder, and her tone was eerily calm. "Furuta, I want to eat you."

"Why?"

Furuta was puzzled.

"Because you smell really good, and I don't like you anymore."

Rize stated bluntly.

Of course, the "good smell" she referred to was the scent of human flesh on Furuta.

"Huh?"

Furuta was taken aback. "Why don't you like me? I haven't done anything wrong..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately thought of a possible reason.

Could it be because Rize didn't like him interacting with Mayu?

"I swear, I'll never play with any other girls from now on!"

Furuta quickly promised.

Then his tone calmed down. "But if Rize really wants to eat me, I'm willing."

Now that Byakuya was willing to help them, Rize might be able to escape the tragedy of being a womb.

That was enough to satisfy him. As for other things, he was more carefree.

Hearing Furuta's vow, Rize's mood improved.

"But then you'd die. Never mind, forget it."

Rize changed her mind.

"That's good. Because I still want to keep playing with Rize like this."

Furuta said with a smile.

"If we really manage to escape, what should we do outside?"

Rize suddenly pondered this question. "It seems like the only option is to eat humans, right?"

"That doesn't sound good either. I think brother Byakuya would be angry."

Furuta said. "Why don't we live like ordinary humans? Like... getting married or something?"
