After the Shino, Yuuka and Miku got home from their meeting, they decided to go to school together in the morning.
When Shino and Yuuka came to the Higanbana residence to pick up Miku, Kaneki told them to stay safe.
And now they are at school and apparently...
Itsuki: hey Kaneki.
Kaneki: what is it?
Itsuki: don't you think Tanaka-san, Mirai-san are acting out of the ordinary?
They attracted the attention of not only Itsuki but some of their other classmates too.
Kaneki: hmm? What do you mean?
Itsuki: look
Kaneki: sigh~
Kaneki looked at Shino, Yuuka and Miku's direction.
Shino: so what do you two want to do today after school?
Yuuka: I think I'm just going to read some books.
Miku: I'm going to go cooking.
They were acting friendly with each other.
Kaneki: I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
Keiko: seriously?
Itsuki: you haven't noticed? But those girls are rivals, since they like Itadori they were like enemies.
Kaneki: eh? How so?
Itsuki: well...
Keiko: wait now that I think about it. Those three didn't act like that in our sleepover.
Sachi: well it must be because they're actually friends.
Chikao: yeah they are true friends.
???: or they're just trying to look good in front of the guy they like.
???: yeah that might be the case.
???: I mean those two are probably taking advantage of the fact that Tachibana-san is getting bullied.
Some other classmates joined the conversation.
Kaneki's thoughts*
(Man you guys are annoying, at least Sachi and Chi-chan got it right)
Natsuki: I think those 3 think of each other as sisters.
Everyone: eh?
Suddenly Natsuki came joined the conversation, since Ryueki wasn't in the room she decided to talk with no hesitation.
Natsuki: those two looks genuinely worried about Tachibana-san, kinda like sisters.
???: really?
Itsuki: well those two did look really worried when they heard Tachibana-san got dumped with cold water yesterday.
Sachi: yup, they were even in the verge of crying.
Natsuki: right? They're genuinely worried so they want to help, they're not that low to try using someone for their own benefit.
Shino, Yuuka and Miku's thoughts*
(I feel so bad right now)
They heard what everyone was saying and when Natsuki said that they felt guilty because they kind of used Natsuki for their own benefit.
Chikao: I agree with Mizutani-san.
???: I guess. But calling them sisters is a bit far fetched.
Kaneki: not if it's true.
Kaneki suddenly said something that caught the attention of everyone in the classroom.
Everyone: huh?
Itsuki: what are you talking about?
Kaneki: what I'm saying is, those 3 have been together since they were kids and cared for each other so they really are like sisters.
Ryueki: what?! How do you know that?!
Ryueki walked into the room just in time to hear Kaneki say that.
Ryueki's thoughts*
(How does he know about that? I didn't even know about that too, but this is a great opportunity if he is some kind of rival character I can use this against him)
Shino: yeah, how did you know about that Kaneki?
Yuuka: yeah, it's strange that you know about that Kaneki.
Miku: can you tell us why you know about that Kane-chan?
???: yeah, it's really strange that you know about that.
Chikao: yeah Kaneki, we want to know.
Natsuki: true, it's very suspicious.
???: c'mon tell us!
Sachi, Shino, Yuuka, Miku, Chikao & Natsuki's thoughts*
(Sorry Kaneki!/Onii-chan!)
Kaneki was being pressured by his classmates but luckily he came prepared just in case for this type of situation.
Kaneki: it's better if I show you.
Everyone: eh?
Kaneki took out his phone and.
Kaneki: here look.
Everyone: eh?!
Kaneki showed his classmates a conversation he had with Querxes in text.
"Hey Kaneki, I heard you cleaned this school of bullies a few months ago"
"Just cut to the chase already"
"Fine, I need you to find the mysterious bully who is targeting Tachibana Miku"
"Sure, I'll do that"
"Good, if you find any clues message me or Robeca Sensei"
Itsuki: wait, so you're also involved with that?
Kaneki: yup, if you guys don't believe me ask Querxes Sensei.
Ryueki: but why are you looking into her past?
Kaneki: since I don't know who exactly is doing the bullying, I'm looking into her past for possible suspects. Speaking of which Shino and Yuuka are innocent.
Shino: yay!
Yuuka: thanks!
Ryueki: but still, you shouldn't be looking into someone's past without permission!
(If i sound worried Tachibana will be delighted and will make that mob stop.
Miku: I don't mind.
Ryueki: eh? You don't Tachibana?
Too bad for Ryueki, Miku doesn't mind because...
Miku: well, since he's doing it to help I don't really mind, and he doesn't really have any I'll intentions.
Kaneki: yup and all secrets are safe with me.
Ryueki: oh I see.
Ryueki felt frustrated because his plan didn't work. He clenched his fist and went back to his seat.
Kaneki: anyways can you guys leave now?
???: yeah.
???: sorry for bothering you.
Everyone then left Kaneki alone.
Miku: hey thanks for helping.
Kaneki: I haven't done anything yet.
Miku: but you're still helping.
Kaneki: whatevs.
Natsuki: do you look into other people's past?
Kaneki: not unless I'm ordered by my superiors like Querxes Sensei.
Itsuki: seriously it's scary that you can do that, how can you do you do it?
Kaneki: why would I tell you? I don't want you guys to use the things I do to find others private info.
Sachi: just don't do that too much okay?
Kaneki: I won't abuse that Bakachi.
Sachi: what did you call me?!
Chikao: looks like some fun between those two will happen.
Itsuki & Keiko: yeah definitely..
At the back of the classroom*
Millie's thoughts*
(Well I wouldn't really worry too much about it, since he's just looking at Miku's past he won't suspect me. I'll proceed with my plan later at art class, Ryueki and Kaneki will be very useful)
Millie wasn't worried about Kaneki's investigation, and now she's planning to use both Kaneki and Ryueki in art class but what does that mean?
