"Byakuya-san, did you think I wouldn't come over today?"
Kamishiro Rize said with a smile.
"Yeah, I thought you might have gone to a different place."
Amou Byakuya naturally sat down in the seat opposite Kamishiro Rize, as if they were still a couple.
But even if they weren't a couple, there shouldn't be a problem sitting and chatting like friends, right?
"I think it's quite nice here, and the coffee is also very good."
Amou Byakuya went to the bookshelf again and picked up another book. This time, he was reading "The Hanged Man's MacGuffin," which was also Takatsuki Sen's latest published work.
"This is 'The Hanged Man's MacGuffin,' isn't it? You recommended it to me before, but it turns out you haven't actually read it?"
Kamishiro Rize glanced at the book in Amou Byakuya's hand and couldn't help teasing.
"Yeah, I haven't read it yet. I just heard before that it was very well-received."
Amou Byakuya explained without blushing or his heart racing.
There was nothing wrong with him saying that. He knew from before he transmigrated that this book's sales and reputation were both excellent.
"Is that so? Let me see it too."
Kamishiro Rize stood up directly and sat down next to Amou Byakuya.
Amou Byakuya could almost smell the faint, fresh fragrance wafting from Kamishiro Rize.
He originally thought Kamishiro Rize wouldn't play the so-called "couple game" with him anymore, but looking at this, it seemed it wasn't over?
What he was sure of was that Kamishiro Rize probably wouldn't suddenly attack him in a place like the Anteiku coffee shop. She definitely wouldn't dare to be so reckless on Yoshimura Kuzen's territory.
It wasn't until the next moment that Amou Byakuya probably understood why Kamishiro Rize was doing this.
As Kamishiro Rize got close to him, she leaned in toward the space between his neck and shoulder and sniffed greedily, just like smelling the aroma of a delicious meal.
Amou Byakuya understood instantly.
It seemed Kamishiro Rize really found his scent delicious...
Although he wasn't very clear on the principle behind this, his so-called physical fitness and Hashirama Cells were just guesses. It was hard to say if this was a good or bad thing. Didn't this make him the "Tang Monk's flesh" of the "Tokyo Ghoul" world?
"I'm a little worried you might suddenly take a bite out of me."
Amou Byakuya teased in a low voice at this moment.
"Don't worry, now is not the right time. I won't do that."
Kamishiro Rize said bluntly, "But if you're willing, we can go to a place with no people right now."
"No thanks, I don't have a self-torture fetish."
Amou Byakuya immediately shook his head.
"However, I do want to read this book."
Kamishiro Rize said, "Although I came across Takatsuki Sen's works by chance, I find that her works quite suit my taste."
"Is that so... Then let's read it properly together."
Amou Byakuya wasn't too surprised by this. Takatsuki Sen's works often contain many oppressive, desperate, and even heavy-gore passages. It wasn't strange that Kamishiro Rize would like them.
Next, reading a book with Kamishiro Rize was clearly slower than reading normally. However, being able to share a work he liked with someone, especially a girl, made him feel quite happy, even if the efficiency was lower.
[Ding! The host has finished reading "The Hanged Man's MacGuffin" and received a reward: 1 Fusion Point!]
Amou Byakuya managed to finish the entire "The Hanged Man's MacGuffin" with Kamishiro Rize right there in the coffee shop.
During this time, because Kirishima Touka was rather concerned about Amou Byakuya and Kamishiro Rize, she had been specially observing them.
As a result, she found that they were still acting as intimately as a couple. This made her even more convinced of her guess: Kamishiro Rize probably hadn't preyed on him last night but wanted to continue toying with the human boy.
After finishing the book, Amou Byakuya and Kamishiro Rize naturally started chatting about it.
When he heard Kamishiro Rize praising how exciting and thrilling the various heavy-gore passages were, Amou Byakuya couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
"By the way, how is your body?"
Amou Byakuya then asked.
"My body has recovered quite well. I still have plenty of 'stock' at home. By the way, Byakuya-san, are you... concerned about me~?"
Kamishiro Rize said in a cheerful tone.
The "stock" she referred to was the human flesh she had hunted before and kept fresh in her refrigerator.
Amou Byakuya and Kamishiro Rize kept their voices low, so only the two of them could hear each other.
"I'm just worried that if you're hungry, you might take a bite out of me."
Amou Byakuya said flatly.
There wasn't the slightest bit of embarrassment on his face; instead, he admitted it very frankly.
"That's true."
Kamishiro Rize suddenly found that this guy was really impenetrable.
Forget about making him scared; he didn't even show a hint of shyness.
"Although your body has recovered, I still don't recommend you continue preying as wantonly as before. Because that person in the clown mask could ambush you again at any time."
Amou Byakuya kindly reminded her.
"Are you trying to restrain me?"
There was a hint of displeasure in Kamishiro Rize's eyes.
"I'm just reminding you. Whether you listen or not is up to you."
"However, if you're willing to let me have another taste, I might consider listening to you."
