Chapter 523 - Before the Second Round

"I'm sorry... I couldn't keep my promise... Sob~"

Kaneki: Mmmh~ What was that?

Chikao: Hey Kaneki! Did you have a nice sleep?!

Kaneki: !!!

Jump!

With Chikao's sudden appearance, she surprised Kaneki and made him jump to the ceiling of the infirmary tent.

Kaneki: Woah!

Thud!

Kaneki: Man... That hurts.

But since it wasn't a solid ceiling Kaneki didn't got a good grip and fell back to his bed.

Shino: D-Did he just?

Yuuka: yup, this is what happened when we were at his Grandparents Hotel last time.

Natsuki: Hey Kaneki! How're you doing?

Kaneki: Hmm?

Kaneki began looking around since he didn't know where he is.

Kaneki: hey why am I in the infirmary? Did I lose the first round?

Natsuki: nope, It's the opposite!

Sachi & Miku: You've defeated everyone! You're the only winner Kaneki/Kane-chan!

Kaneki: Oh... Nice...

Kaneki had a shocked expression on his face as he couldn't remember winning.

Kaneki: hey what happened? How did I win exactly? All I remember before passing out is that I used the Grand Chain-sword then I used the powers of Demon Knights Yurei, Shimo & Shin.

Itsuki: wait you don't remember?!

Keiko: you were like a totally different person when you fully activated it!

Kaneki: Heh??? What do you mean?

Natsuki: yeah Keiko-san is right, you were like a someone else when you used it.

Natsuki's thoughts*

(It's not just how you spoke or your looks, the color of your soul itself was different)

Kaneki: For real?

Yuuka: Yeah! Not only that! You even summoned all of Miyu-chans relics!

Kaneki: Wait seriously?! What happened to them after?!

Yuuka: we're sure they came back from where they came, well except the Crown of Urizen as it's still attached to your head liek horns.

Kaneki: Oh... Yeah I'll remove it and put it back together later. Anyhow what exactly happened? What did I do after I summoned the relics?

Sachi: well first of all you summoned a FREAKING DRAGON FROM THE GRAND CHAIN-SWORD!

Kaneki: I did what now?!

Kaneki was shocked to hear this information.

Natsuki: it's true! We were very surprised when you did that! The Dragon didn't seem to be sentient but still! When it breathe fire we felt the change in temperature!

Shino: and we were very far away too.

Miku: after that you took Yurei's storm staff and created a Storm!

Kaneki: Huh?!

Kaneki's friends continued to tell him everything that happened when he activated the Grand Chain-sword up until the end.

Natsuki: and the way you ended it was sooooo cool! Itsuki-kun even took a picture.

Itsuki: here look!

Itsuki handed Kaneki his phone with the picture displayed on the screen.

Kaneki: ... Is this real? It looks too good to be true.

All 8: Yes it is!

Kaneki: Wow... I usually hate my Demon form, but damn I look... Gorgeous here? I dunno how to describe it.

He was staring at the picture for a while.

Kaneki: here Itsuki, that thanks for showing it.

Itsuki: no problem!

Natsuki: so how are you feeling right now?

Kaneki: well relieved that I didn't go berserk, unlike what happened to Tokyo.

Sachi: Speaking of which Chi-chan actually fainted when she saw you get pierced multiple times.

Chikao: Sachi?!

Kaneki: Eh?! Seriously?! I'm so sorry for worrying you Chi-chan...

Chikao: Hey hey! It's alright! I was just shocked so don't think much of it!

Kaneki: Are you sure you're alright?

Chikao: We should be the ones asking you that! Seriously Sachi why did you tell him? Now he's getting worried.

Sachi: better tell him now then him finding out later.

Chikao: Sigh~

Kaneki's thoughts*

(I knew it... I've hurt Chi-chan....)

Natsuki: Don't think much of it Kaneki, Chi-chan is alright so don't blame yourself for what happened.

Kaneki: Yeah... Sure...

Miku: By the way! Here take this!

Miku then handed her brother a small paper bag.

Kaneki: what is this?

Miku: A Burger, I figured you'd be hungry after your round so I bought this before going here.

Kaneki smiled and thanked thanked Miku before eating.

Kaneki: Thanks Miku.

Chomp!

Kaneki: By the bway. Gulp! When is your guy's round starting?

Shino: in 5 minutes, although I'm pretty sure our round's time limit will be shorter than yours.

Kaneki: how come?

All 7: We don't know.

Yuuka: we'll be using the armor's you gave us, is that alright?

Kaneki: I'm okay with it, I just hope you girls survive though. Mostly Shino, Yuuka, Tachi-san, since you girls made a lot of enemies.

Shino, Yuuka & Miku: Hehehe~ we'll keep that in mind.

Kaneki: well then.

Crack!

All 8: Hey what are you doing?!

Gush!

Kaneki removed one of the Crown Fragments that was attached to his head.

And obviously, His friends were worried because blood was coming out of his head.

Crack!

Kaneki: thats 2.

Natsuki: Kaneki What are you doing?!

Kaneki: I'm removing the Crown, that's what I'm doing.

Chikao: but why are you just pulling them out?!

Kaneki: it's the fastest way to remove them, and I can regenerate anyways so it's not a big deal.

Chikao: you could have at least waited for us to leave before you did that!

Kaneki: Oh yeah sorry about that.

Miku: you haven't even finished eating! Do that after you finish eating!

Kaneki: Okay okay.

Chomp!

Kaneki then went back to eating his burger.

Yuuka: can these even be reattached?

Kaneki: Wup! I've did thwat befare.

Shino: Don't talk with your mouth full Kaneki, you might choke.

Nods*

After nodding Kaneki went back to eating his burger.

"Who the Hell does that Higanbana think he is? Just because he can use Demon Knight powers. Talk about arrogant"

Kaneki: ???

Kaneki thought he heard something and began looking around the tent again.

Natsuki: well then shall we start prepping?

Yuuka: Yeah we definitely should, once your done eating and removing the Crown you better watch us.

Kaneki: I will.

Sachi: well then, see you later Kaneki.

All 7: See ya!

Kaneki: Bye bye~

After his friends left, Kaneki continued to eat.

(Hmm~ what was that voice just now? I definitely heard something, well whatever)

Chomp!

Kaneki: I might've not been able to fuse with Ku-kun earlier but I'll definitely will in the last round!

Kaneki was disappointed that he couldn't fuse with Ku-kun but he decided to fuse with him in the last round instead.

???: so how is he doing?

Robeca: Heart rate normal, breathing normal. Everything is normal as of now.

???: Probably due to his friends, good.

Shiori: Is he really okay?

Haruto: Kaneki won't go out of control right?

???: I can't say for sure, let's just hope he doesn't absorb malice. Haruto Ojiisan, Shiori Obaasan, you two go to Kaneki-chan right now and watch over him.

Haruto & Shiori: Got it!

???: Good luck.

??? Thoughts*

(This is bad, there are a lot of gossip about Kaneki-chan right now)

"Isn't that guy like really dangerous?"

"Yeah he went out of control for no reason when he was fighting the princess of Atlantis"

"We should have him expelled after the W.S.S.F"

(A lot of girls really seem to hate him, but why? No. It's not like I don't know why they hate him, it's all his fault! That bastard who nearly got Shino-chan killed!)

???: Itadori Ryueki, you'll pay for all your sins, after all I know what you've done to those girls who pursued you in the past, and how badly you threw them away like trash.

"Alright! Crown removed, now to send it back and maybe I should go see everyone else before start the 2nd round"

???: Smile* heh, but I won't be the one to bring judgement. My Kaneki-chan will do it once he finds out.
