Chapter 221 - Back at the Mural

After Azusa and her Boyfriend Emi-kun were accepted to joined the Relic research/expedition team due to them providing equipment for the expedition.

They both got to the teams secret base the Kodama mansion and currently.

Azusa: I don't get it!

Emi: how do you guys see the "hints"?!

They're both having trouble finding the hints that are in the manga they're reading.

Sachi: it's not easy to find the hints.

Azusa: this book is useless!

Shino: hmm?

Shino looked at Azusa's and Emi's book.

Shino: oh, I see the problem, you're both reading a Demon Knight fanfic.

Azusa: and what's the problem there?

Miku: Fanfics about Demon Knight's aren't made by any Demon Knight.

Azusa: Seriously?!!

Emi: so we wasted 5 minutes by reading fanfics?!!?! Dammit!

Sachi: it's alright you two.

Sachi patted Azusa's head.

Sachi: I wonder if Kaneki and Mirai-san are having more luck.

At the Mural*

Kaneki: you took some pictures already?

Yuuka: yup.

Kaneki: good, send me the pictures later so I can decipher all what the writing says later.

Yuuka: okay. So uhh... What now?

Kaneki: I... I honestly didn't think this far ahead to be honest. And I'll need to charge up for another darkness travel.

Yuuka: I see... So uhh how were you recently?

Kaneki: I'm... Good.

Yuuka: ...

Kaneki: ...

Kaneki & Yuuka's thoughts*

(This is so awkward!!)

Yuuka's thoughts*

(It's been 3 months since we last talked to each other alone! I don't know what to do!)

Kaneki's thoughts*

(What do I do now? I have to wait for 20 minutes just so I can use darkness travel again)

Yuuka: so uhh... Were you finally able to figure out how to use the Liberator?

Kaneki: nope, I have no idea what it does.

Yuuka: haha! Seriously? After all this time you still have no idea how it works? Haa~ that felt good.

Kaneki: heh? What are you saying?

Kaneki's thoughts*

(What are you up to?)

Kaneki: what do you mean "after all this time?"

Yuuka: oh nothing, so wanna play games?

Kaneki: game?

Yuuka: well, since we came here just to take pictures I thought it would be a great idea for us to play some games so I brought this with me.

Yuuka then pulled out a big box from her bag

Kaneki: oh crap, cinco the one game I'm seriously bad at.

Yuuka: so? Do you accept?

Kaneki: let's do this.

They both sat on a big rock and started playing cinco.

(Author: okay so basically if you played uno or dos you probably know how to they're going to play this game)

Yuuka then shuffled the cards and dealed both her and Kaneki 10 cards each and took 5 cards and made the center row.

Yuuka: you already know how to play this right?

Kaneki: yup, let's do this.

They then started playing.

Yuuka's thoughts*

(This is great! I can actually talk to him now, good thing I brought this game with me, great job me!)

Yuuka: so can you tell me how you're abilities work?

(I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to talk about but I should try to make a conversation out of this)

Kaneki: which one?

Yuuka: the one you inherited from Kamakura.

Kaneki: I inherited darkness travel and darkness manipulation from him.

Yuuka: huh?! Darkness manipulation?

Kaneki: basically I can control darkness, even though darkness is just the absence of light I can control it like Kamakura I can also turn darkness into weapons.

Yuuka: amazing. But does it have a limit?

Kaneki: for now.

Yuuka: for now?

Kaneki: yup, both Darkness Travel and Darkness manipulation currently have a cool down of 30 minutes but by the time The W.S.S.F comes to Shimotsuki I can use it more without any cool downs.

Yuuka: I see, so by the way, +20

Kaneki: dammit!

Kaneki pulled 20 cards from the deck.

Yuuka: so how is Heike doing in your care?.

Kaneki: she's doing well, she's living with Ku-kun in the tree in my backyard.

Yuuka: anyways, here's hypothetical question what would you do if you accidentally used the Crown of Urizen?

After putting down 3 cards he stopped moving.

Kaneki: ... I'd probably punch my face over and over again until I start bleeding.

Yuuka: Huh?! Why?

Kaneki: well I'd be breaking my promise.

Yuuka: I've been wondering, why are you so obsessed with keeping your promises?

Kaneki: let me gues Itsuki or Keiko told you one of the times I fulfilled my promise.

Yuuka: yeah, and since you're obsessed with keeping your promise of not using the Crown when we find it and not even wanting to touch it.

Kaneki: well it's a Demon Knight relic of course I wouldn't want to use it nor touch it. The promise I made is that I would help Miyu-chan achieve her dream of finding all the Demon Knight relics and being known as the person who found all of the relic's.

Yuuka: I see.

Kaneki: That promise I made to Miyu-chan is the only thing besides for the Liberator and a few memories I still have to Remember Miyu-chan.

Yuuka: She really is your best friend huh?

Kaneki: yeah. But she disappeared one day, and I was completely upset when it happened.

Yuuka: Huh?

(Crap?! I suddenly made this chat a talk about our past!)

Kaneki:but then you came around.

Yuuka: Huh? What do you-.

Kaneki: your voice is a lot similar to hers but I don't see any other similarities at all.

Yuuka: I reminded you of Miyu-chan? Because of my voice?

Kaneki: pretty much. But I know very well, that you're not Miyu-chan.

Yuuka: ..., um are you mad at Miyu-chan?

Kaneki: for what?

Yuuka: for disappearing so suddenly?

Kaneki: not really, though I would be asking questions but not angry I would just ask her why she left.

Yuuka: I see.

(Strange he's acting very strange why is he saying all this?)

In Kaneki's head*

Kaneki: dang this card game is so difficult, I don't know which to pull!

Kaneki was focusing on the game when he didn't realize he was talking at all. And someone took control of his mouth.

???: that's me alright, but this is good Yuuka might realize her mistake.

It was his Demon half who was doing all the talking.

???: I should stop soon before he realizes, I should also erase the memories of that conversation too, but before that.

Back in reality*

Kaneki: can we just focus on the game now please? Let's stop talking.

Yuuka: oh okay.

In Kaneki's head*

???: okay good tim to erase some memories.

It then started to erase the conversation memories but not the gameplay.

???: alright time to hide.

Back in reality*

Yuuka: Cinco!

Kaneki: Dammit!

Yuuka's thoughts*

(I have to do more than this to fix my relationship with him, I'll do everything in my power to do that!)

Yuuka was feeling more determined to fix her relationship with him more than ever.

They then continued playing their game until Darkness Travel is recharged.
