#287 - Chapter 284 Don’t Know

Seeing Nishio Nishiki supporting his chin with his hands crossed, sitting there looking serious, Amau Shiroya suddenly felt like laughing.

However, he didn't laugh, and instead casually replied, "Yeah, I already knew Rize's true identity."

"Not only that, this guy fell in love with me at first sight," Kamishiro Rize added immediately.

As if showing off how much Byakuya loved her.

"What? Really...? !"

Nishio Nishiki immediately felt unbelievable.

Nishino Kimi on the side listened as if understanding but not quite, feeling like she couldn't get a word in edgewise.

However, Nishiki being able to talk to the other person like this meant that the other person wasn't someone unapproachable.

She had already figured out that one of the two was a Ghoul Investigator and the other was a Ghoul. Such a couple was indeed stranger than her and Nishiki, no wonder Nishiki was so agitated.

"Aren't you the same? Why are you making such a fuss?"

At this time, Kamishiro Rize looked at Nishio Nishiki as if he were an idiot.

"It's different! It's completely different! You are a Big...!"

Nishio Nishiki was about to say the word "Big Eater" but forcibly stopped himself.

"See! This guy wanted to eat you at first. Do you still love her even like that?"

Nishio Nishiki immediately took the opportunity to ask Amau Shiroya.

"That was just at the beginning," Amau Shiroya said.

"Okay..."

Nishio Nishiki lowered his head slightly. "Speaking of which, when I first met Kimi, I didn't know if it was because I regarded her as backup food or because it was love at first sight. I ended up dating her by mistake. Later, I accidentally exposed my identity, but Kimi was still willing to stay with me. I couldn't help but fall in love with her completely..."

Even though Nishino Kimi was sitting next to him, Nishio Nishiki didn't feel embarrassed at all when he said this. This was his true feelings.

At this time, Nishino Kimi's eyes also became affectionate.

"Are you the same?"

At this time, Nishio Nishiki raised his head and asked Kamishiro Rize.

"...Not quite the same?"

Kamishiro Rize pondered for a while and continued, "Your girlfriend didn't know your true identity at first, but this guy is different. He knew my identity from the beginning and confessed to me directly."

"Ah... is that so?"

Nishio Nishiki was stunned and couldn't help but sigh, "Maybe this is what makes the strongest investigator so extraordinary..."

"Don't make me sound like a freak," Amau Shiroya immediately retorted.

"Speaking of which, you guys are both students here, right?"

Nishio Nishiki asked, "I know about Amau-kun. You were a student at our university before you went to work at the CCG. Could it be that your girlfriend is also..."

Because he didn't want to directly call her "Big Eater", Nishio Nishiki referred to her as Byakuya's girlfriend.

"No, I'm just here at this school to play today," Kamishiro Rize denied.

"Oh, oh, speaking of which, do you still recognize me?" Nishio Nishiki continued to ask.

"I don't recognize you," Kamishiro Rize replied with a smile almost immediately.

Nishio Nishiki was stunned for a moment, "...That's infuriating. You stole my 'Ghoul turf' back then, and now you have no impression of me?"

"I have no impression. Maybe it's because you're too weak and not worth remembering," Kamishiro Rize said bluntly, not caring about the other person's feelings.

"Damn it..."

Although Nishio Nishiki was upset, he couldn't deny it.

After all, in front of the "Big Eater", his strength was indeed not enough.

............

They said they were coming for lunch, but in reality only Amau Shiroya and Nishino Kimi could eat.

So they didn't order too much. Amau Shiroya ate a little casually, and then it was enough for Nishino Kimi to be full.

As for Rize and Nishio Nishiki, they were the type who could last for more than half a month on one meal.

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you guys in a place like school," Nishio Nishiki sighed at this time.

"Speaking of which, Nishio-kun, have you not joined 'Anteiku' yet?" Amau Shiroya suddenly asked.

In the previous conversation, they had already learned each other's names.

"Anteiku? I wasn't interested before, but now... hasn't Anteiku been wiped out by you CCG?" Nishio Nishiki said.

"Who said that? Everyone at 'Anteiku' is still alive and well. They just moved and opened a new store," Amau Shiroya said.

It was obvious that Nishio Nishiki didn't know about the new ":re", so he handed Nishio Nishiki a business card of the coffee shop, "This is the business card there. You can go and take a look when you're interested."

[Ding! Host invites Nishio Nishiki to join ":re (New Anteiku)", Reward: 20 Fusion Points!]

Amau Shiroya certainly wouldn't force Nishio Nishiki to join Anteiku, he was just simply extending an invitation.

"Oh, okay..." Nishio Nishiki accepted the business card.

"Although I'm quite friendly to Ghouls, after all, District 20 is the area under my jurisdiction. If you can all be a little more peaceful, it will save me a lot of trouble," Amau Shiroya casually explained.

The general meaning was that he was more at ease with the Ghouls in "Anteiku".

Of course, this was just a set of words said to Nishio Nishiki and Nishino Kimi. He couldn't just tell Nishio Nishiki and Nishino Kimi, who he wasn't familiar with yet, that he was a member of "Anteiku", especially since Nishino Kimi was a human. That would be too abrupt.

"I understand..." Nishio Nishiki nodded thoughtfully.

He was clear in his heart that the other party was the strongest investigator of the CCG. If he really wanted to attack him, he would definitely be dead.

Moreover, under the protection of "Anteiku", he would not only not be threatened by the CCG, but also obtain a stable source of food, that is, he couldn't hunt humans.

Since truly falling in love with Nishino Kimi, Nishio Nishiki's mentality had slowly changed. Compared to the risk of hunting humans, he hoped to live a stable life with Kimi, and Kimi didn't want him to do those things either.

For Kimi's sake, Nishio Nishiki had already made a decision in his heart...

....................

ps: Adjusted my mindset. I finally finished writing two books before 0:00. Although neither of the two books can be updated more at present, the pressure of adding up to more than 8,000 words is not so great. At least I don’t have to stay up late to code. When I adjust my routine, I may be able to write a little more every day.
