Chapter25

Kaneki was pressed on the chair, and Mr. Bai, the owner of the mask shop, used a ruler to measure his head. At the same time, he asked a few questions about the material of the mask, but the direction seemed to be getting more and more strange.

"Are there any allergic materials? Do you like flexible or metal ones? Do you need to cover your whole face? After all, this is the first time, let's make it in the shape of a half face. The eye mask is very cute, do you like it?"

He spoke slowly, but asked questions so fast that Kaneki didn't even have time to answer. "No, everything is fine, that... this is, when you are hungry, your eyes will turn red unconsciously..."

Bai took it for granted, "Isn't that enough as long as you are full? Do you want to eat snacks?" He pulled out an eyeball as he spoke.Kaneki has always eaten the meat that Jiuji brought from the Anding District. If it didn't ooze blood when poked, no one would be able to tell that it was human flesh.Facing a complete organ so intuitively, Kaneki couldn't help shrugging his shoulders.

"No, no need, I'm still eating... Jiuji will force me to eat enough to keep me conscious every week." As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the rabbit mask who was arguing with Dong Xiang not far away. Which is cuter, Kyuki or the cat mask.

"Is that human being your lover?"

Kaneki blushed, but he didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Why do you think so, Mr. Bai? After all, Jiuji and I are boys."

"Hmm--intuitively, I can see that you trust and depend on him very much." Mr. Bai groaned, licked the eyeballs in his hand, with a satisfied expression. "Speaking of which, human beings really find it incredible, homosexual love or something. But for ghouls, gender has never been a problem."

"Yes, is that so?"

"After all, for most ghouls, reproduction is not the first task, just to survive is already trying their best." Hearing this, Jin Mu, who still firmly believes that he is human, can't help but feel a bit sad.

Mr. Bai put aside the notebook that recorded the information in his hand, took a soft ruler and pulled a stool behind Kaneki, chatting with him without delaying the work in hand. "As a partner, as long as you love each other, you won't feel lonely when you're together, just feel happy."

"Is that so..."

"So, do you like that human?"

Kaneki wanted to lower his head subconsciously, but was immediately pulled up by the tape measure. "Do not move."

"Ah, I'm sorry... I don't know if I like this feeling... But, I am very happy when I am with Kuki."

"That's it." Mr. Bei gently hooked the corners of his lips, and didn't say anything more. "You're the type, right? Rather than cute girls who are cute and protective, you prefer a mature, gentle and beautiful big sister." He paused, "Or a pretty little brother."

"Jiuji is only two months older than me..." Kaneki blushed and muttered in a low voice, not realizing at all that he directly substituted Jiuji into Mr. Bai's favorite type of little brother.

Mr. Bai showed a see-through smile.

----

After coming out of the mask shop, the sun was already setting, the clouds in the sky were dyed crimson, and the whole city seemed to be quiet for a short time to welcome the further carnival at night.

Kuki bought three masks, a golden fox, a black cheetah and a white cat.Although the price is not cheap, Mr. Bai's craftsmanship is excellent, and it is definitely worth the money.

"Are those two for the brothers?"

"Hmm. It's also good to hang on the wall as a decoration."

"I'll be scared when I wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night..." Kaneki thought of the cheetah mask, which was the only one with a full face among the three masks. The two eyes and the mouth were hollowed out, making it a bit intrusive. "Did you really not mean it?"

"How come~" Jiu Ji smiled at Mimi.

"..." Kaneki silently crossed Fuyumi. "Then, that cat's... do you want to use it yourself?" He pointed to the white mask, which can cover everything from the nose down. The mouth is outlined with gold as a cute cat's mouth, and it is vividly drawn. Beard.

"No, my features are too obvious, and this mask can't cover them." Jiuji blinked his eyes. "This is for collection."

Kaneki nodded in understanding.The blue cat's eyes searched all over Japan, but they couldn't find anyone other than Yakushiji's family.

After discussing some issues about Dikou Hinako with Dong Xiang, Mr. Kobayashi has been waiting on the side of the road for a long time.They sent Dong Xiang back to Anding District, and then went to BIGGIRL for dinner as planned before going out at noon.Kaneki went to buy puffs, and then the two returned home.

Because of meeting the annoying investigator in the morning, Jiuji felt very tired all day, and almost fell asleep on his pillow that night.When Kaneki came out of the shower, he was already unconscious.Apart from the floor lamp in the entrance, there was only one bedside lamp that was still on in the room, creating a clear dividing line between light and shadow on him.

Not wanting to wake him up, Jin Mu went back to his bedroom with the hair dryer.He hadn't been back to his bedroom for a long time, and he only came here to pick up clothes or books once in a while, and some places, especially the mattress, seemed to be covered with dust.

Kaneki dries her hair while planning a weekend cleaning.

When he returned to Jiuji's bedside, Jiuji, who was still curled up in a ball when he left, was already lying down with a big character, and his hair looked like bursting geraniums had opened the pillow.

Kaneki brushed his hair back up in a funny way, lest when he wakes up the next morning, holding a pillow of red hair and crying bitterly, he will be bald sooner or later.

Gently pushing Jiuji, Jiuji moved to the side humming and chirping, and swept away most of the quilt. After a while, as if remembering something, he kicked part of it back, without opening his eyes the whole time .

Kaneki had to cover his mouth to barely hold back his laughter.

super cute...

Kyuki was very tired and fell into a deep sleep, but Kaneki suffered from insomnia.

Mr. Bai's words and Dong Xiang's warning kept replaying in his mind.He tossed and turned in bed.Seeing Jiu Ji would remind him of the way he cried in the morning, and he felt very uncomfortable, but when he turned over and couldn't see him, he felt inexplicably flustered.

Although he lowered his voice very softly, after repeated several times, Jiuji was finally woken up, and the next second, Kaneki was kicked off the bed with his pillow.

"You are so annoying!" Jiu Ji rubbed his eyes with one hand and scratched his hair with the other, yawning profusely.

Kaneki was aggrieved and sat on the carpet with his pillow in his arms, looking like an abandoned puppy.

After a while, there was no fire at all.

He turned on the desk lamp, covered his mouth and yawned, picked up a pillow, and sat up against the head of the bed.Under the warm orange desk lamp, he seemed to have been stained with honey, and Jin Mu's mouth looked parched.

Patting his face and forcing himself to regain his senses, Kaneki climbed onto the bed with the pillow in his arms, and sat next to Jiu Ji with the pillow in the same posture as him.Two big boys who are around 20 years old are like small animals getting together to keep warm.

"So, what's wrong with you? Hey, why should I 'again'..." Jiuji was depressed.Kaneki would have nightmares from time to time at night, and Jiuji would often be woken up by his screams.

Jin Muquan pretended not to hear the second half of the sentence.Anyway, Kuji would still listen to him carefully.

That's right, even though Jiuji had written his disgust and troubles on his face, he had always been responsive to him.After he woke up from a nightmare, even if his eyelids were still glued together, he would hug him and pat his back gently.If he is lucky, he will be able to hug him and fall asleep again. If he is unlucky, he will be ruthlessly driven out of bed to sleep on the sofa because of the cold sweat on Jiu Ji.

"Kyuki, can you train me?"

Jiu Ji didn't expect that what Kaneki wanted to talk about was this matter, he didn't yawn, and he just held back his yawn. "What? Why do you think so?"

Kaneki lowered his head slightly, and after pondering for a while, he said seriously: "The people this morning are the ghoul investigators...they are the 'white doves' that Kirishima said. They came to the 20th district...I can't go forever Hiding at home, I don't want to be protected by you forever. Moreover, I checked, and the maximum penalty for harboring ghouls is death... Jiuji, I don't want to stand behind you all the time, I want to protect you."

Such a touching line made Jiu Ji unceremoniously let out a big laugh, and he almost fell from the bed laughing to the floor. "Hahahaha! Just you? Protect me? This is the funniest joke I've ever heard!!"

So, the little white rabbit was stimulated by him to become a runaway rabbit, and Jin Mu, whose face was as red as an apple, patted him with the pillow in his arms.Kyuki continued to laugh unceremoniously while covering it with a pillow.

With a soft sound, Kaneki released Kazuko.

Kuki: ...All right.

After some squabbling, Jiuji was bound hands and feet by Kaneki, and then buried with a pillow.If you don't liberate your strength to struggle, the power of ghouls will absolutely suppress human beings.

Kuji patted the bed with his palm, Kaneki pushed aside the pillow, and let the panting Kuki out.His face was smothered with a thin layer of red, and a few tiny beads of sweat glistened under the reflection of the bedside lamp.Two buttons of his pajamas were undone, a piece of white snow dazzled Jin Mu's eyes.

Then, Kaneki, who was attacked by beauty, was kicked off the bed by Jiuji without paying attention.

"Bold people, dare to fight with me!" Jiuji tidied up his pajamas slowly.

"My emperor is mighty..." Jin Mu slowly crawled back while clutching his kicked stomach. "So, Kuki... have you agreed?"

Kuki brushed his hair back, hiding his red ears in his hair.

protect me...?

It was the first time someone said such a thing to him.

Kuki waved his hand. "Okay, let's play."

Jin Mu knelt on the bed and made a nondescript bow. "Long live my emperor."

"There is something to play, nothing to sleep."

"Sleep and sleep."

In the early morning of the next day, Jin Mutian was harassed by Jiuji to go out for a morning run before dawn, and it is said that there will be a night run at night.

The area around the Yaoshisijia Villa is a wealthy area, with embassies and high-end residences everywhere. Usually, there are very few pedestrians on the road. Most people travel directly from the villa, so most of the time they pass by on the road. imported car.Both morning and night are silent.

Kaneki followed behind Jiuji panting, and was thrown away in a short while.Although he knew that there was a huge difference in physical strength between the two of them as early as when Jiu Ji broke the principal's running record in high school, but when he actually compared them, he was still quite frustrated.

"You can't do that."

"……I feel so too."

I just feel that Kaneki, who has a long way to go, is a little absent-minded when he goes to class.

After he came back from the stable area at night, Jiuji took him down to the basement, drilled through a small door in the cellar, went down a flight of stairs, and came to a door with a fingerprint lock.

Kaneki was surprised to find that there was a second basement floor in this villa, and after Jiuji opened the door, his eyes widened.

A super~~~big room.

About one-half of the entire villa covers the area. You can only see the head when you enter the door. The strange thing is that the ceiling, walls and floor are covered with thick plastic foam. It doesn’t feel vain to step on it, but it will fall down. It won't hurt too much.

"It's so powerful, so big—" He could hear the echo of his own voice. "The layout is also very careful. What is this place for? Is it my aunt's yoga room? It's too big." The rich really don't understand.

"It used to lock me up." Jiuji said lightly. "It's a confinement room."

Kaneki just wanted to turn back the time to half a minute ago, and then tear off his broken mouth.

He should have thought of it, Jiuji said that he couldn't control his temper and strength before, so he would take the initiative to lock himself up no matter where he went.These plastic foams are not for yoga, but to prevent him from hurting himself when he gets mad, or hitting himself against the wall when he can't think about it.

Kuji was amused by his regretful expression.

Flicking Kaneki's forehead, Jiuji smiled and said: "It's fine, I haven't been here for a long time. I also wanted to facilitate your training, and I let Miss Xiaoshi and the others clean it up yesterday."

Jin Mu suddenly tensed up. "Should we start now?"

"Well. But, your opponent is not me."

"Hey?"

The door of the confinement room was opened from the outside, Kaneki looked back and saw Suyagawa.

"I'm late, I'm very sorry, Master, Mr. Kaneki. I was delayed in the kitchen for a while." Suyagawa bowed, and then began to take off his tuxedo jacket.

"Hey? Is the opponent Su, Suyagawa? How can this be possible..." Anyway, he is also a healthy and developing college student. Suyagawa is in his early fifties this year, and half of his foot is in the coffin!Kaneki took a few steps back in panic.

Kuji narrowed his eyes and smiled, but didn't speak.

Suyagawa took off his coat, untied his tie, took off his shirt, and changed into a racerback vest.

During this period, Jin Mu was surprised and speechless.

I saw that the kind-hearted butler grandpa had a body that was completely different from his face. No one could have imagined that the arms wrapped under the meticulously ironed suit had blood-spitting muscle lines. I also clearly saw the eight-pack abs...it really is an eight-pack!

Hisaki said: "Do you think it's so easy to be a wealthy butler? Not to mention that he was one of the butlers specially trained by my father for me and my brothers. Suyagawa not only obtained a doctorate from London Butler University, but also received a comprehensive MMA degree from the United States. Three consecutive championships in fighting competitions."

Kaneki swallowed hard, feeling that his legs were starting to go weak.

"Then, please give me your advice, Mr. Kaneki."

Changing into another pair of shorts, Suyagawa came to the center of the field with a hand wrap wrapped around his arm, and smiled kindly at Kaneki, who was shivering like a quail.

No, it's okay!In any case, Suyagawa is already over 50 years old, even if it is a three-in-a-row championship in mixed martial arts, it was more than 20 years ago.Moreover, no matter how you look at him, he is still the grandpa housekeeper who is as gentle and kind as ever even after he becomes a ghoul, never showing any disgusting expression.

Kaneki comforted himself like this until he was thrown to the ground by Suyagawa over his shoulder, his internal organs smashed into a ball.

He remembered Jiuji's advice before the start: "As long as you take a breath, you can slowly heal yourself, and the rest is up to you, and you can do whatever you want." He only felt that his eyes were dark, and he just wanted to call for help.

Jiu Ji watched from the side for a while, and then went to the kitchen to look for food after cursing Kaneki's crocodile tears.

In the evening, after he took a shower, Jin Mu came back with a tired face. Although he looked unscathed, he threw himself into the sofa as soon as he entered the door, buried his face in the pillow, and didn't even want to move his fingertips.

Jiu Ji rubbed his hair, "Why don't you forget it?"

The black head under his hand didn't move, and it took a while before it shook from side to side. "I can hold on."

----

After Jiuji finished writing the experiment report and checked that there were no typos, he began to pack up the paper and pens on the table and retreated from the library.

An email from Kaneki came over, asking him if he couldn't come to drink coffee.

Jiu Ji said he was going to visit the company, so he didn't go.

Kaneki replied with an oh.

In the evening, Kaneki was beaten up again by Suyagawa Fatty, not wanting Jiuji to see his distressed appearance, he stayed in the confinement room until all the bruises on his body disappeared before going upstairs.When he came back, Jiuji had already changed into his pajamas and was flipping through a book called "Black and White Words of the Rainbow".

Hisaki is very impatient to read long novels, but he still reads short stories occasionally, so Kaneki strongly recommended this collection of Takatsuki Izumi's short stories to him.It is said that the little sister named Fueguchi Hina also likes this book.Kaneki said that the last time he bumped into Hinako to eat, he turned around and ran away in fright. Later, he relied on this book to ease the relationship, and made an appointment to teach her to read when he had time.

"came back?"

"Well. I'll take a shower first."

Ten minutes later, Jin Mu climbed onto the bed with a towel on his head, "What did you see?"

"Xiaoye Shiyu, I seem to have seen this plot somewhere..."

Kaneki laughed: "That's the prototype of "The Egg of the Black Goat". It's getting late, Jiuji, you have a lesson from the Four Heavenly Kings tomorrow morning, right? Go to bed early."

"Hmm." Jiuji stretched out his arm to take the bookmark from the bedside table and clip it, then turned off the bedside lamp.After lying down, the tip of his nose smelled the faint scent of shower gel on Jin Mu's body, and he felt sleepy after a while.

When he was about to fall asleep, Kaneki suddenly whispered, "Kuji? Are you asleep?"

"No." Jiuji forcibly pulled himself together to make his voice less sleepy. "What's wrong?"

"Umm...a man, a ghoul, came to the coffee shop today. Kirishima said he was a big problem in District 20. What's his name..."

District 20 has a stable area, so there are not many troubles, but any troubles are really big troubles.Kyuki was completely awake now. "What kind of ghoul? Tell me about your appearance."

"Uh... forgot, his red suit is so eye-catching, I don't remember what he looks like at all."

"...Then, do you have any characteristics? Habitual movements, temperament... something like that."

"Ah, there really are."

"what?"

"Pretentious." Jin Mu was decisive, then thought for a while, and added another sentence: "Arrogance."

"..."
