At a road intersection, Yakuchi Kei and Kamishiro Rize both stopped.
Because their homes were in different directions.
"Kei thank you very much again today."
Kamishiro Rize said.
"Um...my home is not far from Takada Building Street, and wasn't there a murder case there recently?"
Kamishiro Rize's tone was clearly a little scared, and her expression was a bit embarrassed.
"That murder case...I heard it was a Ghoul."
Yakuchi Kei responded, thinking to himself that it had indeed begun.
"Yes...I've been very worried about that...I'm often too scared to sleep at night, and it feels so scary to go home alone so late..."
Kamishiro Rize's body trembled slightly with fear, and her face looked somewhat pale.
These words were almost a full hint to Yakuchi Kei, and it wouldn't be wrong to say it was an explicit statement.
In this situation, Yakuchi Kei intended to refuse.
Because what was about to happen was that Kamishiro Rize would reveal her true colors and then eat him, and he didn't want to have a direct conflict with Kamishiro Rize so soon.
The threat level given to Kamishiro Rize by the CCG was S-Class Ghoul, and speaking of S-Class Ghoul, with his current strength, facing an S-Class Ghoul was still quite difficult.
However, just then, the sudden appearance of the system interrupted his thoughts.
[Ding! Host activated mission, Open God-level Choice!]
[Choice One: Refuse Kamishiro Rize's request, reward: 1 Fusion Point!]
[Choice Two: Directly expose Kamishiro Rize's true colors now, and mock Kamishiro Rize's terrible acting skills, reward: 10 Fusion Points!]
[Choice Three: Accompany Kamishiro Rize home, let the opponent eat your flesh after being attacked by Kamishiro Rize, reward: 100 Fusion Points!]
Seeing the three choices that popped up in front of him, Yakuchi Kei couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
He immediately changed his mind, "Then I'll accompany Rize home. This way, if there's any danger, I can protect Rize."
Ultimately, the system gave too much; a reward of 100 Fusion Points, and the requirements weren't too harsh.
It was nothing more than letting Kamishiro Rize take a bite; just endure the pain and it would be over.
Yakuchi Kei possessed Hashirama cells, which gave him extraordinary regenerative abilities, so he didn't have to worry about the flesh eaten by Kamishiro Rize not growing back.
Moreover, he was confident he could break free from Kamishiro Rize afterward; the Instantaneous Body Technique was very useful at such a time.
"That's great! With Kei by my side, I feel much more at ease."
Kamishiro Rize said happily.
On the way home with Kamishiro Rize, for safety's sake, Yakuchi Kei used all the Fusion Points he had accumulated.
[Ding! Host used 87 Fusion Points, Fusion Progress +87, current Fusion Progress: Lv1 (87/100)!]
He also wanted to know if the change in Fusion Progress would bring about a change in his strength.
Fusion Progress advancing from Lv1 to Lv2 would definitely bring huge changes, but a change in progress within the Lv1 stage was hard to say.
As a result, Yakuchi Kei immediately felt his physical fitness and all aspects significantly strengthen. It seemed this was a real-time change and didn't require waiting for advancement.
Now, Yakuchi Kei was even more confident in dealing with Kamishiro Rize.
...
On the night street, Yakuchi Kei and Kamishiro Rize walked and chatted, Kamishiro Rize no longer looked as scared as before.
They walked on the deserted street, completely unafraid of being attacked by Ghouls, because almost all the Ghouls in the 20th Ward knew Kamishiro Rize. What Ghoul would be foolish enough to dare to have any thoughts about Kamishiro Rize and the prey Kamishiro Rize had her eyes on.
"Kei ...I really like the feeling of being with you. Tonight..."
Just then, Kamishiro Rize suddenly leaned into Yakuchi Kei's embrace, a shy expression appearing on her face, "Don't leave, okay?"
But there was a detail: her hands were placed on Yakuchi Kei's chest, so her body wasn't pressed very tightly against Yakuchi Kei.
"O-Okay..."
Yakuchi Kei feigned a nervous and shy tone, but in reality, his face was expressionless, because he already knew what would happen next.
He reached out and wrapped his arm around Kamishiro Rize's waist, and his other arm around Kamishiro Rize's shoulder, to ensure that Kamishiro Rize wouldn't bite his vital points.
"I like you, I like you so much I want to..."
Before her words fell, Kamishiro Rize suddenly bit Yakuchi Kei's shoulder, and her eyes instantly turned into crimson Kakuugan (Ghoul Eye), "Eat you!"
Yakuchi Kei immediately felt an intense pain in his shoulder, his brow furrowed as he gritted his teeth and endured the pain.
And Kamishiro Rize didn't just bite; she directly tore off the piece of flesh from Yakuchi Kei's shoulder.
Immediately after, Yakuchi Kei was pushed away, and he deliberately didn't steady himself, instead stumbling and sitting on the ground.
This was to obtain the system reward; if one bite wasn't enough, then he would let Kamishiro Rize take another. Before that, he would still pretend to be an ignorant young boy.
[Ding! Host completed Choice Three, gained reward: 100 Fusion Points!]
Apparently, one bite was enough.
The moment he received the Fusion Points, Yakuchi Kei immediately used them.
[Ding! Host used 100 Fusion Points, Fusion Progress +100, current Fusion Progress: Lv2 (87/500)!]
[New abilities (including ability upgrades): Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Hashirama cells Lv2, Taijutsu Lv2, B-rank Ninjutsu "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation", B-rank Ninjutsu "Fire Release: Great Fire Extinction", B-rank Ninjutsu "Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning Technique"]
At this moment, Yakuchi Kei's Sharingan reached Three-Tomoe Sharingan, his Taijutsu and Hashirama cells had advanced, and he gained new Ninjutsu.
"Oh? This deliciousness..."
When Kamishiro Rize ate the piece of flesh from Yakuchi Kei's shoulder, she was immediately surprised by how delicious it was.
It was more delicious than all the humans she had eaten before, and the difference was very obvious.
It was probably because Yakuchi Kei's physical fitness was extremely strong, and he also had Hashirama cells, which made his flesh a peerless delicacy in the mouths of Ghouls.
"Ah~"
Having tasted such deliciousness, Kamishiro Rize's face couldn't help but show a greedy flush, she licked the blood remaining on the corner of her mouth, and stared at Yakuchi Kei with an infatuated gaze.
