"By the way!"
Mado Kureo looked at Hinami, who was crouching on the ground. "You must really like the gift I gave you, right?"
"That's the one you've been wanting to see—your mother!"
Mado Kureo laughed maniacally as he spoke, his eyes filled with pleasure and tyranny.
The moment she heard those words, the fury in Touka's heart blazed up, and her hideous kakugan instantly opened.
"You bastard!!"
Squelch!
A flame-like Ukaku unfolded behind her.
On the other side.
Koutarou Amon was fighting Kaneki Ken.
With Kaneki Ken's meager skills, he might not even be able to beat Miko.
Amon knocked Kaneki Ken to the ground with his bare hands, but Kaneki Ken still stubbornly stood up to block Amon's path.
Amon had no choice but to open his quinque.
In just a few rounds, Amon knocked Kaneki Ken to the ground and said in a low voice. "I've always wanted to ask you people a question."
"Casually harming innocent people, eating humans to follow your own desires!"
"Why do things like you exist in this world?"
Amon walked to Kaneki Ken's side, looking down at him, his eyes filled with deep pain. "Children whose parents were murdered, parents whose children were murdered."
"The sadness and loneliness of those left behind—have you ever thought about these things!"
"Answer me!
–
On the other side.
Touka constantly shifted and maneuvered under the bridge, dealing with Mado Kureo.
"That's it! Just like that! Run!"
"Flea! Hahahaha!"
Mado Kureo attacked continuously, but at a certain moment, Touka stopped.
Although Mado Kureo was puzzled, he still controlled kouki i to stab towards Touka's face.
Whoosh!
Only one centimeter away!
"Your weapon can't be used effectively here."
Touka's eyes were full of indifference.
Only then did Mado Kureo realize that his kouki i was wrapped around a bridge pier.
Swish!
Touka instantly appeared beside Mado Kureo and kicked him away.
Mado Kureo crashed into the wall and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Can you understand the fear of being hunted for no reason?"
Touka walked slowly towards Mado Kureo.
"Can you understand the feeling of seeing someone important murdered like an ant?"
Hearing this, the weakened Mado Kureo had a flash of pain in his eyes, but a hideous smile appeared on his face!
"You bastard... you can actually still laugh!" Touka's teeth chattered.
"Mrs. Ryouko shouldn't have been killed at all!"
"As long as you don't exist! There would be no sadness in this world!"
Bang!
On the other side, Amon sent Kaneki flying.
"Four Investigators from my batch have been sacrificed!"
"Why! Why on earth did they have to be killed!"
"This world is wrong! You shouldn't exist!"
Lying on the ground, Kaneki Ken felt sharp pain all over his body. He looked at his trembling hands.
"Ghouls make the world distorted... is that really so?"
"Does that mean Mrs. Ryouko deserved to be killed?"
—
Meanwhile, under the bridge.
"Go to hell!" Touka activated her Kagune to deliver the final blow to Mado Kureo.
At that exact second, a pair of Koukaku like Kochou wings suddenly unfolded.
Clang clang clang!
Seeing all her attacks blocked, Touka immediately pulled back.
Not far away, Hinami's pupils suddenly shrank.
Mado Kureo gave her a hideous smile:
"Looks familiar, doesn't it?"
"This is... your dearest mother!"
Boom!
As he spoke, Mado Kureo swung the quinque violently, sending Touka flying, and then the Koukaku closed, slamming Touka hard against the wall!
Then, the quinque grabbed Touka, constantly twisting and compressing!
Aaaahhh!!
Touka let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Touka struggled to pull out of the quinque and fired crystals at Mado Kureo.
After blocking them with a swing of Kouki I, he threw Touka against the bridge pier with a violent toss.
Immediately after, Kouki II suddenly turned into a spike and pierced Touka's abdomen.
With victory in hand, Mado Kureo brandished Kouki I, to wrap up Hinami nearby, lifting her into the air and starting to squeeze.
"Using the father to kill the daughter, what a wonderful feeling!"
"Shut up!!"
Touka struggled with all her might, "What's wrong with us wanting to live!"
"We can only eat humans, there's no other way!"
"How are we supposed to live correctly with bodies like this!"
"Die... go to hell! All of you, go to hell!"
"We... just want to live like you do..."
Touka's strength gradually drained away, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Mado Kureo's smile became even more hideous. "How unpleasant to hear, you filthy bugs!"
Saying that, Mado Kureo swung kouki i, smashing the Kouki I that was binding Hinami towards Touka.
"No!!"
Squelch!
The world seemed to fall silent.
"The quinque is gone?" Mado Kureo looked down in confusion. How could a perfectly good quinque disappear?
"It turns out my hand is gone..."
"Hinami?"
Touka looked at Hinami in shock. At this moment, Hinami was covering her face and wailing. "Don't hurt Big Sister anymore..."
"And Papa and Mama, don't treat them like that!"
Rumble!!
Hinami's Kagune combined the two types from her parents; Koukaku and Ukaku unfolded behind her like Kochou wings.
Two Kagune: Rinkaku lashed out wildly.
"Wonderful! A perfect fusion of the parents' Kagune. Give it to me!" Mado Kureo couldn't take his eyes off that perfect Kagune and immediately brandished Kouki I to kill Hinami.
However, Hinami's Kagune grabbed Kouki I, and pulled it towards her with a jerk.
Mado Kureo didn't want to let go of the quinque, and as a result, he was lifted into the air.
Squelch!
Accompanied by a tooth-aching sound, Mado Kureo's legs fell to the ground.
"Hinami... kill him, quickly..." Touka slumped on the ground, her voice extremely weak, and the blood gushing from her abdomen stained a large area of the ground red.
"I can't do it..." Hinami was still covering her face and crying.
"What? This is for your parents' revenge!"
Touka struggled to stand up.
"Revenge or whatever... it doesn't matter..."
"I'm just very sad."
"I just really want to see Papa and Mama..."
"Papa... Mama... I'm so lonely by myself..."
This tender scene did not move Mado Kureo. He barely stood up on his severed legs.
Because the wounds rubbed directly against the ground, the intense pain made his expression even more hideous.
"That's right! A family should be reunited!"
Mado Kureo quietly grabbed Kouki I. Even if he were to die, he would take one Ghoul with him!
Especially this one, her potential was extraordinary!
If she were allowed to grow, she would surely become a formidable enemy of the CCG in the future.
"Then... just become my quinque!"
Mado Kureo burst out with his last bit of strength, raising kouki i and slashing it down at Hinami.
At that moment, Touka also leaped up, and the Kagune behind her stabbed fiercely towards the center of Mado Kureo's back.
Boom!!!
