The store manager stands in place, seemingly lost in thought.
In fact, he is contemplating whether to retreat, with a clear objective to cover Shidōrenji and others in successfully rescuing Kaneki.
"Boom."
A loud explosion erupts nearby. The store manager turns his head to look and faintly sees a battle taking place.
"That Heko, is it Kaneki."
The face beneath the Ghoul Speaker of the store manager reveals a smile, as Kaneki has successfully escaped, fulfilling his objective.
"Opportunity."
Su Xiao's figure flashes, rushing in front of the store manager. In just an instant of distraction, the store manager's flaw is caught by Su Xiao.
The long knife slashes rapidly, forcing the store manager to retreat repeatedly.
"Not good."
Su Xiao's sharp cleave makes the store manager very wary. That moment of distraction has somewhat cost him the upper hand.
