chapter 47.
Ahhh, I'm the one who should be sorry. I was lost in thought for a second there.
Well then, goodbye- I'm in a hurry-
License... Library card... Student ID... Ahh- my bangs are in the way.
Kaneki Ken-kun... age 19? That's the same age as me.
And the most vital contents are...
Ohhhhhh...? One... Two... Three thousand yen...
I won't be able to eat anything great with just this...
I should have talked Shinohara-san into giving me some spending money after all...
Ehh? But you were the one to come to me, weren't you?
So how about we even the score a little?
Now then, shall we play a game of "chef"?
I'll be the chef-
And you're the pig.
| chapter 48.
Because I told you from the beginning. Didn't I said it absolutely?
Alright, I get it already. I had to find out whether it was a lie or not.
... Jeez... It was only that I didn't have my investigator's identification card on me, you know...? Even I am working for the sake of the country, right?
Do you understand? I even hold tightly to a blade and...
I told you that all along.
Speaking of that... my work tool is too small so I can't carry it around well. Don't I always say that too? Jeeez.
What?
Looking for jobs in some restaurants...
And I'm grateful for that.
--There's no "man oh man".
Hey, I turned out to be a real investigator, didn't I?
You made a promise to me, didn't you? Please apologize.
Ah, as I thought, your ears seem to be worthless.
They're rotten.
This is also no good! I'll dispose of it! Fufu.
Ow ow... ...!
Huuh? By any chance, are you Amon-san?
I am Shinohara-san's underling--Suzuya.
Nice to meet you.
Oh my... you're really big, aren't you? That must be great.
| chapter 49.
Goooooooood morning!
I was the first to arrive!
Huh? Is... there something wrong with my clothes somewhere, rank 1 Amon?
You mean this? This is called "body stitch".
It's like being pierced with threads.
I learned about it from my friend who's a body modification aficionado.
It starts to bulge a little bit underwater though. Shall I show you how it's done?
Look, it goes like this.
One only pierces themselves with a sterilized needle.
Since you can use different thread colors, the results are gorgeous. And since it can be done with just thread and needle it's really easy.
It's finished! It's a flower!
Okay, I can't stomach it, so I'm taking it out.
Sniiip!
Mornin'.
Okay.
What was the "inspection" for?
Oh~ is that so?
Well, investigating is fine and all but Shinohara-saaaan, please hurry up and give me a real quinque!
If I kill the binge eater you'll give me a new quinque just like you promised, right~?
Binge eater, binge eater!

chapter 53.
... Yes?
Eh? No way.
... You knew?
Huh?? Umm...
"If the eyes turn red then the person is a ghoul"...
Wha?!
Are you serious?!
Yep! They're made from defeated ghouls.
The kagune is um, that dangly thing, right?
That's impossible since I still don't know where that dangly thing even comes from.
Even if I "observe" them I still have no idea.
How about sleeping instead?
But, if it's muscle then it should be tender, right?
Hmm... Then, everything is fine as long as I find that kakuhou thing?
... Then, since I have a... bikaku.
It would come out from the ass area?
And also, what is it the bikaku are strong against? You said it before, I think.
Hhhmm? I think the brute strength of the rinkaku type is best for me.
Right.
I don't really understand the part about the rikaku's cells binding easily and yet being able to break easily too. How can it have both features?
Oh. I kind of get it now.
That's a lot of useful stuff to know but I've forgotten the main points.
Yeah, yeah, yeah?
Umm, that's not really it.
I was wondering why ghouls have opponents they are a good match against and vice versa even though they are of the same species. Isn't that kind of strange?
| chapter 55.
Is he important?
Okay.
So everything is okay as long as I don't snap at him?
Hello.
| chapter 56.
--Rei-chan, it seems like there are lots of Ghouls in the 11th ward too.
I might be able to get a new quinque! Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
I have to be a good boy, or mama will get angry again.
|
chapter 60.
Aren't we attacking?
How about we just go around the opposite side~?
By the way... Can you really fight ghouls with bullets? Bullets won't pass through kagune, will they?
Heeh. Is that so? As expected of you, Amon-san.
Will my "scorpion" be effective?
Pfft...
... I want to see Amon-san's quinque soon.
It was a "what-kaku", again?
Please lend it to me. Or some other one.
Okay. Here we go.
Please move.
I'm borrowing this.
Like~
--This!
Good evening.
You can enter now~
| chapter 68.
...Are you "Jason"?
That's right~ Why are you so close to dying?
Whoa.
My first big-shot.
I will take it.
Hm? Mmm~]
Wow... It's different. ...It's completely different...
Completely!!!
He won't die. He won't die!!
Juuzou-kun did it.
Ooh.
Quinque, my quinque!!
... Kakuhou.
Where is... the kakuhou? ...
This is no good. I have no idea... That's enough. I'll just drag him back.
Ahh... He seemed like a coward though... That was amazing.
... But, I wonder who weakened him earlier...?
I'm more curious about that guy.
...!
...? What's this thing? A device?
... Well, whatever. Shinohara-sa~n!
| chapter 77.
I remember seeing that person somewhere before... Where did I meet them though...?
Who was it again...?
Umm, ah! I remember!
The guy with 3000 yen.
Kameyama-kun. ... or something like that.
What is a normal college student doing in a place like this?
Does that mean he's not actually just normal?
Hm~ could it be that...
... Hm?
"This"?
He's dead, you know? And he's mine.
Bye bye.
|
chapter 80.
Yes!
Thank you.
[ We didn't expect much of Juuzou, even with Shinohara-san as his counselor, but it turned out that he passed both the written and the oral test. ]
[ The quinque possession rules are really strict for third class investigators. I suspect that was one of the primary factors for him to study so hard... ]
[ Since he got rid of several A-rated "ghouls" in the past 6 months, his record is no longer an excuse, either. ]
[ Solely based on his physical strength, I would say... He's as good as a first class investigator... No, maybe even better... ]
Alright!
Ehehe, I get a raise in pay now, right?
Ah, it's done already?!
I can't wait.
Got it.
What shall I name it?
I can't wait for it, my quinque...
Hey!
Thank you, Arima-san!
I am.
He and Shinohara-san worked together during Operation "Whack-A-Mole".
Yes. I'll just go west.
| chapter 82.
Ohh-- It's huge!
My name is Suzuya Juuzou.
I was just wondering, isn't it better if you just leave the "kagune" inside the quinque just as it is?
Yes! I made it through the back door.
Can you tell me what the difference between a kagune and a quinque is?
Barely.
I want to test it out.
Is it okay if I give a name to this guy?
Then... 13's Jason it is.
Yeah!!
Let's get along together, Jason!!
| |
| chapter 93.
A ghoul enthusiast, you say.
Why a girl?
It could be a drag queen ghoul, you know.
Oh, and I'd like this mixed sandwich.
Is there something wrong?
You threw... something up.
| |
chapter 99.
Long time no see, spongy.
| chapter 100.
What's this?
Those are some familiar faces.
you guys are Kurona and Nashiro, right?
Now I'm called Juuzou~ Second class investigator Suzuya Juuzou.
That eye... what happened to them? It's gotten completely red.
Did you quit being humans?
That's all good.
You know, this thought has struck me before, but.
I've always wanted to compare the intestinal length between a pair of twins, and see which one was longer.
I'm the investigator--and you two are the ghouls.
If that's the case then even if I killed you, there's no problem, right?
| chapter 101.
Ahahaha!
This is great fun! Feels just like a class reunion!
Please~ Show me your guts--
Oops.
I see 'em.
|
chapter 102.
Nashiro, Kurona, what are you doing?
No way.
Crushing ants.
Nashiro, Kurona! Good evening.
About what?
Ah, she died?
Why? She "just" died.
How is that different from eating meals or playing?
Annoying... Joke?? What is a joke?
Plenty of people die somewhere all the time.
She's just one of them.
The organs will spill out.
Ah haha.
Same here, don't think badly of me.
| chapter 103.
Heal?
Will you make it in time?
Does it hurt?
Please enjoy 45 more times.
I worked hard to steal these.
Bi-bi-bi-ka-ku.
Right there.
Because I killed a fair number of ghouls, I roughly know what I need to destroy for them to break properly.
Next, I will break Kurona's important thing.
Ha ha.
Oh my!
Yes, Kurona's important thing.
That was pretty long, wasn't it?
Next, Kurona.
Ah...
My insides spilled out.
Before it becomes sore, I have to fix it.
| chapter 106.
Could it be that you~ are in a pinch?
There are so many of you here, you useless bums--
Amon-sa~n, I've come to help.
Gimmicks, o~n!
Wooow, cutting is so fun!
Ah!
How do I release it again?
... That can be done later...
|
chapter 107.
Oh, but I won't.
Nope.
I think nothing of stuff like that, which is why I'll be fine.
What? You pervert.
| chapter 109.
[ I really wonder what Juuzou's thinking... ]
[ Even though Shinohara-san's hospitalized, he didn't even pay a visit... Wonder if he just doesn't have any sense of obligation... ]
| chapter 114.
[ Is Juuzou in the branch today? ]
[ On paper, he's in the middle of an independent investigation... but I've heard someone say they saw him at the zoo. ]
[ What is he? A little kid...? ]
[ No. What he's doing may not necessarily be wrong. ]
[ Many people take their families to the zoo. As such, there might be some ghouls who appreciate that in there. Second-rank Suzuya's animal instinct is quite reliable, after all. ]
|
chapter 122.
--Ne, mama...
Today I did pretty well, right?
60 points?
Rei...
The feeling of pain is starting to fade.
Yes.
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's job, Rei-chan.
Mm, because Juuzou only got 60 points today--
--you have to let mama praise you. You have to let mama be happy.
Yes.
You called me, right?
When I first started, I threw up constantly for 3 days and 3 nights. I even had nightmares.
These kinds of actions...
I don't know when, but I started to lose my value.
Not broken yet, have to make the customers happy.
Good luck, good luck.
Mama? ...you want to...
What I though is a life continuing to be female, just because what happened that day has been swept under the rug.
I'm kicking ants.
Taking a night stroll makes me feel relaxed.
I wonder how mama is living.
Kitty...
I'm Suzuya Juuzou.
Shinohara-sensei, you were discharged?
It's fun to imagine the diagrams of their sections.
Is it strong?
That makes me really happy.
Whether I live or die is no big deal.
