Sachi: so I'm going to be streaming again soon you're going to watch right?
Kaneki: ...
After W.S.S.F training, Kaneki went back home with Sachi as usual but for some reason he was ignoring her.
Sachi: HEY KANEKI!
Kaneki: Ahh!
Frustrated that Kaneki was ignoring her, Sachi yelled at him.
Kaneki- W-What?
Pout*
Sachi pouted and said.
Sachi: I said I was going to stream again soon and I hoped you would be watching.
Kaneki's thoughts*
(Oh crap I was trapped in my thoughts and ignored Sachi, I better apologize)
Kaneki: I'm sorry for not listening Sachi, I'll definitely go watch your streams.
Kaneki apologized so Sachi but she noticed something.
Sachi's thoughts*
(Huh? What's wrong with him? Those eyes looked troubled)
She noticed that Kaneki was troubled but she didn't asked him for now.
Sachi: anyways, let's go to your house we have to meet those two later.
She's referring to Chikao and Natsuki.
Kaneki: Y-Yeah, let's go.
They then headed to Kaneki's house.
40 minutes later*
Chikao & Natsuki: sorry for the intrusion.
Sachi: Welcome!
Chikao and Natsuki just got in the Higanbana residence and we're greeted by Sachi.
Chikao: hey Sachi.
Natsuki: good to see you.
Sachi: it's great to see you too!
Natsuki: by the way where's Kaneki?
Sachi: he's in the bathroom.
Natsuki & Chikao: Oh.
Both Natsuki's and Chikao's face became red.
Sachi: anyways, I have something to discuss with you two.
Chikao and Natsuki looked at each other and asked.
Chikao: what is i?
Sachi: let's sit down first.
After the 3 sat down, Sachi immediately started talking.
Sachi: Kaneki has been acting weird since lunch break.
Chikao: you got that right, when he left earlier than us he looked really worried for some reason.
Natsuki: not only that, when I went searching for him after I finished eating he was walking around school invisible as if he was searching for something.
Sachi & Chikao: seriously?!
Natsuki: ye-
Kaneki: yup, that's right.
Kaneki interrupted Natsuki while walking down the stairs.
Sachi: wait you were searching for something?
Kaneki: someone.
All 3: eh?!
Chikao: who were you searching?
Kaneki: sigh~
Kaneki looked down at the ground and said.
Kaneki: I was searching for Millie-san.
Sachi, Chikao and Natsuki were shocked after they learned Kaneki was searching for her.
Natsuki: why? Were you worried that she would get violent with Miku?
Sachi: yeah! Is that the reason?
Chikao: or is i-
Kaneki: no! That's not the case!
Kaneki suddenly yelled which shocked the 3 girls.
Kaneki: sorry sigh~. How can I properly explain this?
Natsuki's thoughts*
(He looks so troubled, what happened? Even the colors of his soul are being messed up).
Chikao's thoughts*
(Did something happened? Kaneki wouldn't act this way if nothing serious has happened)
Sachi's thoughts*
(This might be a serious matter to make Kaneki this troubled)
Seeing how troubled Kaneki is the three told him.
Sachi: you can tell us anything Kaneki.
Chikao: yeah we'll listen to your troubles.
Natsuki: yeah! We can handle it!
Seeing how his friends were eager to listen to him, Kaneki sat down and.
Kaneki: sigh~ fine, I'll tell you three but promise me you three won't tell Miku about this alright?
All 3: sure, we promise.
After the girls promised they won't tell Miku.
Kaneki explained the entire situation.
10 minutes later*
Chikao: seriously?
Sachi: I didn't expect that.
Natsuki: no wonder you've been acting weird.
After Kaneki explained the situation, The 3 learned about Millie's situation and now they started to pity her.
Kaneki: yeah, I heard things I shouldn't have and now I'm troubled... I don't know what to do now.
Chikao: do you really want to help her? I mean she did made Miku cry.
Kaneki: I know but... Those eyes she had... I haven't seen eyes like those since middle school.
Chikao: !!!
Sachi: Kaneki...
Natsuki: you're too kind Kaneki.
Kaneki: I know... But what do I now? I want to protect Miku but... I don't want to stand here and just ignore her. Sigh~ I don't know what to do now.
Seeing how troubled Kaneki is, Sachi took Chikao and Natsuki to the kitchen and they had their own discussion.
Sachi: man this is really tough huh?
Natsuki: yeah, I kinda feel bad for Millie now.
Chikao: but what can we do with Kaneki? He's very conflicted now and he wants to help Millie but he's worried it would hurt Miku.
Sachi: I don't know.
The 3 girls didn't know how to help Kaneki but Natsuki had an idea.
Natsuki: I think... We should tell him to do what he thinks is right.
Sachi: are you sure about this?
Chikao: yeah, that might not help.
Natsuki: what else can we do?
Sachi & Chikao: ...
Without any other options, the 3 went back to Kaneki and said.
Natsuki: I think you should do what you think is right Kaneki.
Kaneki wasn't satisfied with that answer so he said.
Kaneki: I don't even know what's right...
Sachi: Kaneki, you're smart right? You can think of a way.
Chikao: yeah. Just do what you think is right okay?
Kaneki: ...
Sachi: we should probably leave for now and give Kaneki some time to think.
Chikao & Natsuki: agreed.
Sachi, Chikao and Natsuki then took their stuff and walked to the front door.
But before they left.
Sachi: Kaneki... Don't push yourself to do something you would regret, okay?
Chikao: whatever decision you make we'll support you all the way.
Natsuki: yeah, if you want our help just tell us.
After saying those words they left earlier than usual, leaving Kaneki alone.
Kaneki: sigh~ what I think is right? ... I don't even know what I'm doing is right.
Kaneki was still being troubled by his conflicted thoughts but then.
In Kaneki's mind*
Kozo: I don't know what to do now.
Shitsuren: this is a very difficult situation.
Tomo: I don't even what I think is right, right now.
Quan: what do I do now?
The 4 parts of Kaneki personality are very troubled on what to do next but then.
???: I have the answer, the most obvious one.
As the 4 pondered the solution for the current situation, Kaneki's Demon side already came up with his answer.
Shitsuren: shut up you.
Kozo: yeah, I don't want anything from you.
Tomo: so leave me alone.
???: c'mon at least hear my answer first.
All 4: fine but I'm not interested.
Seeing how his other 4 selves actually deciding to listen to him, Kaneki's Demon side told his answer.
???: I need to help both of them, both My sister and her bully.
He was proud of his answer but.
Shitsuren: that won't work.
Tomo: stupid plan.
Kozo: it sounds good but this might not work.
Quan: ...
All 4 of them weren't convinced.
But then.
???: c'mon, it will work! Besides, my friends said I should do what I think is right, right? And helping both of them is the right thing to do.
Kaneki: yeah right.
The 4 merged and became Kaneki again.
Kaneki came closer to his demon side and asked him.
Kaneki: do you really think they would agree to this?
To which his demon side confidently said.
???: of course, they would why would they say i should do what I think is right?
Kaneki: ...
???: if you don't believe me, ask Shino and Yuuka for their opinions, I bet they'll say the same thing.
Kaneki: ...
Back in reality*
Kaneki: ... Fine I'll go ask them.
Meanwhile*
Miku: well, see you two next time.
Shino & Yuuka: bye bye~
After they finished hanging out at the karaoke, Miku left Shino and Yuuka and started going back home.
Shino: that was so much fun.
Yuuka: yeah, it was-
Ping!
Shino & Yuuka: hmm?
Both Shino and Yuuka's phone suddenly got a message notification and when they read it it said.
"Hey, can the 3 of us go to Akuma castle tomorrow? I wanna see some stuff there but I don't want him to be alone. Also don't tell Miku"
Shino & Yuuka: ehhh?!
Back at the Higanbana residence*
Kaneki: good I invited them.
Now that Kaneki has sent the invitation to Shino and Yuuka, will he get his answer when they meet?
