"Enjoy the candy in silence!" When Touka heard those final words from Kenzo, she felt very angry for always contradicting him in every situation he could.
"I'm going to rest, let's talk about something later," Manager Yoshimura said as he left.
"I'm going to bed too!" After Kenzo saw his father leave, he ate the last piece of candy he had taken and wanted to go to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
Touka was surprised and wanted to call Kenzo to stop him, but in the end, she didn't know what to say, so she could only silently watch Kenzo's back as he walked to the bathroom.
"Is there something wrong with you today?" Kenzo turned his head at this moment and couldn't help but ask since he couldn't read what Touka was thinking at the moment.
"Uh... me!" Touka was left speechless for a moment.
"Oh, if everything's fine, I'll go brush my teeth!" Kenzo said with a mischievous smile hidden on his face.
"Wait, Kenzo!" Touka called Kenzo to stop at this moment.
"Hmm?" Kenzo stopped and looked at his little grumpy girlfriend.
"Can you go for a walk with me?" Touka hesitated for a moment and finally raised her head and said what she wanted to say; her face was also red because of this.
"Go for a walk? Sure, but between lovers, you can ask for more than just a walk! A motorcycle, a car, new clothes, whatever you want. By the way, I bought you something very valuable today, so you can open it later," Kenzo joked a bit and then remembered the special chocolates he had obtained, so he pointed to the black box on the table.
"Go to hell!"
Upon hearing this, Touka blushed even more and was about to take a step forward to punch Kenzo.
"You're much slower than I expected; you should eat much more..." Kenzo didn't even see the trajectory of the punch heading for his stomach; he avoided it and with an increase in speed, he appeared behind Touka and held her gently by the waist.
"What?!"
"Don't you want to take a bite of me again?" Kenzo whispered these last words into Touka's ears.
Touka wanted to break free from this cocky grip, and suddenly, when she could turn around, she found herself wrapped in Kenzo's broad embrace.
"Now, what will you do to defeat me?" Kenzo, who was still hugging Touka, noticed her silence and asked, "By the way, it's very late; is something bothering you? It seems you don't want to go out and just walk... Wait, do you want to go to a hotel?"
"Stop saying embarrassing things!" Touka gave Kenzo a headbutt on the chin, and he fell onto the nearby bed but never let go of her.
After wrestling for a while on the bed, Kenzo, who ended up winning, looked at Touka, who had remained motionless.
"Kenzo, why do you run out every night and not come back until early in the morning?" Touka thought about it and finally asked what was bothering her.
Upon hearing this, Kenzo said, "It's nothing, I just like going out because it's nighttime!"
First of all, Kenzo didn't want to involve one of the few people who could genuinely worry him. Touka is still a bit naive, and in situations of real danger, she might make poor choices. Involving her directly with the organization Three-Eyed Crow is something he can't do because it would completely expose his identity as the Crow Master.
For now, and for a long time, he wants his human identity to be known only by a select few, as this would bring multiple benefits and prevent the authorities from openly investigating his businesses.
Due to this major issue, he would never reveal his human identity as a Ghoul. Not for now. There are many things in motion, and it would be a problem if his identity were exposed.
"Recently, many Ghouls have been engaged in a bloody fight in District 20. Are you involved in that?" Touka put her feelings aside, looked at Kenzo, and asked him seriously about it.
"Um!" Kenzo nodded without denying it.
"What is your goal in getting involved with that? Why are you doing this?" Touka asked again, which was what she had wanted to ask for a long time.
"I want to create a world where Ghouls don't have to hide and adapt to humans. I'm fighting for a world where humans and Ghouls can create a new way of life." Kenzo looked into Touka's eyes and then turned, lying down on the bed.
"I joined the Three-Eyed Crow organization when I was 12. They trained me and shared their goal, which seemed very unrealistic at the time. But now, Touka, we have a very high chance of achieving it, the same world you've dreamt of."
Upon hearing Kenzo's response, Touka's expression darkened immediately, and she clenched her teeth in anger.
"So why does it have to be you?" Touka asked, her eyes filled with heavy emotions.
"I'm strong, Touka, so strong that I can achieve this impossible dream for thousands of Ghouls. I know what you're thinking, but I'm not foolish; dying is not in my plans until I have many children." Kenzo smiled calmly as he spoke these words.
"Many children... You like kids?" Touka asked, surprised.
"That's a somewhat complicated question. I'd like to have many children when this world is adapted to protect them." Kenzo's large hand reached out to Touka and pulled her to his side.
In the past, Touka would push Kenzo away for touching her so abruptly, but this time, she did nothing.
"I'm going to win, Touka..." Kenzo murmured as he thought about everything that was about to come.
"Then I'll help you..." Touka sat on Kenzo and looked into his eyes directly.
Seeing this scene, Kenzo was surprised for a moment. But then he smiled slightly and said, "You are my greatest support."
Kenzo reached out and lightly touched Touka's face, then pulled her toward his face. The moment their bodies pressed against each other, a kiss filled with passion and heavy feelings reached both of their lips.
After a few seconds, Kenzo gently bit Touka's tongue, which was slowly moving into his mouth.
"Oops!"
Touka opened her eyes in surprise, looked at the idiot who had just bitten her, and she did the same but with more force on Kenzo's tongue. But when she felt the delicious blood merging with their kiss, she instinctively wanted to pull away because she also felt a mischievous hand moving around her waist.
Touka broke the kiss, opened her eyes, and roared in embarrassment and annoyance, "You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
After that long kiss that left Touka breathless, Kenzo laughed and walked towards the street, fulfilling Touka's request at the moment, and they walked in silence together.
Kenzo's incomprehensible behavior made Touka very angry; he always made her blush.
Soon, after chasing Kenzo for a while, Touka found that the feeling of embarrassment was gradually fading.
"In reality, if we have a chance, we will initiate a plan for the organization I belong to to expand to another district... It will go on like this until all the districts are unified under one power," Kenzo walked ahead and confessed this secret to Touka to put her at ease.
"Don't they move unless they believe they have a chance?" Touka, who was behind him, asked, puzzled.
"That's right. You know that organization is very peaceful and loves absolute control over their actions, so they wouldn't risk their people's lives so easily," Kenzo responded to Touka indifferently.
"Don't you think they're hypocrites? Everyone talks about having a goal, but when it starts, no one cares about the lives that will be taken to achieve those goals," Touka said disdainfully after hearing this.
"Oh, we're different! You just need to watch from the sidelines. What you think is normal, but don't assume we're the same as others," Kenzo didn't care what others thought, but he certainly didn't like it when Touka misinterpreted him.
"Then let me accompany you!" Touka said with a smile.
Kenzo looked at her and said, "That needs to be considered."
As the two walked, Kenzo stopped at the entrance of a convenience store.
"I'm going to buy a bottle of water," Kenzo said, entering the convenience store.
It was unexpected for people to come shopping at this time of night; only those who didn't care about their own safety went out at night. Although nothing really happened in District 20.
What was surprising was that these stores didn't have workers; as a customer, you paid for whatever you took, and then you left the store.
Some of the people who came only bought condoms and mints, which made Kenzo buy them for fun and he glanced at Touka, who was looking at some of the products on the shelves.
