Looking at the three options before him, the third one left Amou Byakuya speechless.
Knowing that Kaneki Ken had a crush on Kamishiro Rize and still "killing the person and attacking the heart" was a bit too much.
Although the third option offered the most Fusion Points, Amou Byakuya wasn't someone who would only choose the option with the most rewards. He definitely had to consider the specific situation.
The second option wasn't difficult either; it was just striking up a conversation with Kaneki Ken.
However, now was not the time to chat with Kaneki Ken. Kamishiro Rize was about to drag him on a date.
Before leaving, Amou Byakuya made a point to glance at Kaneki Ken, just in case the system judged him for ignoring Kaneki Ken.
"Oh? ...Could it be that Byakuya-san is a little jealous? But you don't need to worry at all. I'm only interested in Byakuya-san."
"Mhm, of course I don't doubt Rize-san's feelings."
Amou Byakuya nodded.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't act out the "blushing out of thin air" effect, he would have definitely given Kamishiro Rize a shy and innocent expression.
......
Walking together on the road, Amou Byakuya didn't proactively hold Kamishiro Rize's hand.
But his relationship with Kamishiro Rize was fake, after all.
But of course, this also meant that if Amou Byakuya was really just an ordinary person, then he would definitely be the one to die the most miserably among all the targets Kamishiro Rize had tortured and killed.
In short, with Kamishiro Rize's personality, if he tried to touch her hand, he would most likely be rejected, though of course, it would be a gentle, tactful refusal.

At this very moment, a trace of disgust flashed deep in Kamishiro Rize's eyes. After all, she purely saw Amou Byakuya as food, and she was very unhappy about being touched by him.
However, she didn't immediately show any resistance. Instead, she seemed to inadvertently pull her hand away, raising that hand to point in a certain direction, "Byakuya-san, I want to go to that dessert shop and try the sweets inside."
Amou Byakuya chuckled inwardly, thinking, just as I expected.
Once at the dessert shop, the two each ordered a dessert.
Halfway through eating, Kamishiro Rize stood up and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to the restroom."
"Okay."
Amou Byakuya nodded.
"I felt very happy on our date today. I just don't know how Byakuya-san felt."
Kamishiro Rize said in a caring tone.
"I was very happy too, being able to go on a date with such a beautiful girl."
Amou Byakuya gently scratched his cheek.
Hearing this, Kamishiro Rize's face immediately became a bit shy, her joy overflowing.
The atmosphere was excellent.
It was just a pity that neither of these two was being genuine.
"Um... let's meet at that coffee shop again tomorrow. I want to see a movie. Can Byakuya-san come with me?"
"Sure."
Amou Byakuya agreed without hesitation.
......
After parting ways with Kamishiro Rize, Amou Byakuya returned to the Anteiku coffee shop.
As expected, Kaneki Ken was still sitting there, reading.
When Amou Byakuya walked in, Kaneki Ken's gaze met his for a moment. Upon realizing who it was, he immediately looked away, pretending not to see him.
"The book you're reading, isn't that one of Takatsuki-sensei's works?"
Amou Byakuya spoke in a very friendly tone.
[Ding! The host has completed Choice 2, receiving a reward: 10 Fusion Points!]
Kaneki Ken said with a pleasantly surprised expression.
Although the other person was that cute girl's boyfriend, being able to meet a fellow book lover who also liked Takatsuki Sen's works was something worth being happy about for him.
After all, reading was his only hobby.
