Seeing that Lucian and Mitsuri's attention had turned to her, Nakime was a little embarrassed and explained herself: "I just couldn't resist"
"I didn't know she could laugh." Mitsuri's eyes widened in amazement at this event, which in her perception was impossible.
"Same with me, first time I've seen her laugh like that." Lucian nodded, agreeing with Mitsuri's words.
Not even in the memories he had obtained from Muzan had such a thing been recorded, showing the rarity of this event.
'... This probably hasn't happened since her husband became addicted to gambling,' he thought, 'I see my plans are working.'
Although the cause of such a change could not be confirmed with complete certainty, there was no doubt that Lucian's "influence" was affecting Nakime, in one way or another, natural or supernatural.
So Lucian was happy.
For nothing is more pleasurable than being right... 'Maybe there are other things, but that's beside the point.'
Mitsuri wanted to continue commenting on the subject, but unfortunately, Lucian's predictions came true when the transformation began to take place.
She bent over, her face distorted either by the frantic contractions of her muscles or simply by the pain of her body being torn apart from the inside out - a pain that affects even demons, completely ignoring their resistance.
Several lines made up of rc cells spread frantically through Mitsuri's body, crossing any barriers that might stand in their way.
Gradually, a network of rc vessels formed in her body, with their core in her back - a kakuhou in the shoulder area, in other words, a ukaku-type kakuhou.
Mitsuri receiving a ukaku-type kagune has two reasons: firstly, this type of kagune is extremely fast and has high lethality, but very low vigor, and is unable to remain active for long, so it is the kagune that benefits most from being used by a demon.
Secondly, because she is a very flexible kagune, she is the most suitable for Mitsuri's combat style, which uses maneuvers and acrobatics.
((information dump, which can be ignored if you already know it.))
Ukaku has very high speed and flexibility, is malleable and has long-range attack methods, but thanks to the fact that he releases his rc cells quickly, he has little resistance. ukaku-type users can use their speed and mobility to knock bikaku-type users down from afar.
Koukaku has great strength and durability, and its weight makes it very useful in short-range combat. A koukaku-type user can suppress a ukaku-type user by successfully protecting themselves against the ukaku-type user's attacks, leaving them vulnerable to counterattacks and exhausting the ukaku-type user in the long term.
Rinkaku, has cells that bond easily, consequently having the greatest regeneration among the four types, but this ease of bonding brings a problem - they are easily made, easily broken. A rinkaku kagune can deliver severe blows against a slow koukaku, breaking its kagune and shattering its defenses.
Bikaku are good for medium-distance attacks and have decent attack, defense and speed. Therefore, they have no notable strengths or weaknesses like the kagune based on other types of Rc, which means that the kagune itself is treated as a surprise "trump card". The number of tails a bikaku user can create is usually one, but some can create more.
A bikaku has better speed and durability against the brute-force and breakable rinkaku, allowing them to cut through the rinkaku's kagune.
At least in Lucian's opinion, ukaku-type kagunes are the most suitable for demons, as they complement speed and bring long-range abilities while eliminating the weakness that this type of kagune possesses.
Another that fits well is the koukaku, as it compensates for one of the biggest deficiencies that demons have - low defense.
This puts two choices on the table: eliminate weaknesses or strengthen strengths?
"Strengthening strengths is the best choice at the moment, but in the future it won't be impossible to do both at the same time, when chimera kagunes are obtained." Lucian nodded, looking at Mitsuri.
While he seemed to be explaining to them, it could also be said that he was concluding his own reasoning.
He doesn't intend to take but to create chimera kagunes, after all, only two people in the entire work have appeared with chimera kagune, the lovely Hinami and the scary Nutcracker.
This serves to highlight the rarity of such a condition. Nutcracker even more so, since as well as having a kagune chimera she also has the ability to detach pieces of it.
'... I kind of want her as a subordinate.'
Putting these thoughts aside, Lucian returned his attention to Mitsuri, whose shoulder area was swelling rapidly, before the skin broke off, revealing two extra limbs.
Like most ukaku kagunes, it had a similar appearance to wings, albeit in the shape of hearts, with a bright crimson color.
Seeing this, Lucian couldn't help but nod: "The overall appearance and color palette is perfect, score 10! Too bad they're no good for flying... At least not yet."
"Now it's your turn, Nakime. I've prepared a koukaku-type kagune for you."
After all, Nakime's style is to sit and play biwa, even with her "high" mobility thanks to the infinite castle, the greatest danger is precisely that she will be surrounded and eliminated, so defense is what she needs most.
"Right," she said, before putting the sphere in her mouth. Soon the same thing was repeated, only this time the kagune came out of the shoulder blade area.
A flat tentacle made up of metallic-looking plates appeared, just by looking at it you could see how heavy this tentacle is.
"With that strength... I feel like I can deliver devastating blows with this kagune." Nakime commented, swinging the tentacle slightly, a curious look on her face as she observed it.
"Without a doubt, the difference between having a kagune and not is huge, not so much for us high-level demons, but it's still notable for low-level demons." Lucian smiled as he looked at Nakime.
If even an upper moon benefits so much, what about her small army?
"That's pretty cool!", Mitsuri exclaimed with sparkling eyes as she twisted and turned her kagune.
Then she punched the air a few times and asked excitedly: "When are we going to destroy those organizations?"
"Later." Lucian laughed when he saw Mitsuri's excitement, "First I intend to ensure the birth of the new one-eyed king, no matter what happens, he'll be useful."
"... The one with the eye patch? I don't think he can do much." She paused for a moment, trying to remember where she had heard something similar.
And then the skinny man with the sickly face and cowardly posture, who doesn't even know how to make coffee, appeared in her mind.
In short, someone incapable of doing anything great.
"Not at the moment, that's why I have to wait," replied Lucian, also a little helpless at Kaneki's current state.
"The thought that he would rather be hurt than hurt the others is pure naivety." He continued, "I don't know how he hasn't been bullied."
"Are you sure he can be of any use?" Nakime also inserted herself into the conversation.
"Yes, receiving a kagune from the Washuu clan and being turned into a ghoul makes him very special."
