A Demon King Through The Worlds

"Sad that even in this world there is no peace." Shinobu sighed sadly.

"There is rarely peace, even in worlds where only humans are intelligent species, wars are still constant," said Lucian, explaining to her the nature of the world.

Or of worlds, for war is a characteristic possessed by all of them.

War will happen as long as there are still needs and desires in living beings.

"Also, I think I'd better introduce you to the organizations that exist in this world, the most important of which are: the CCG, the organization that hunts ghouls; Aogiri Tree, an organization that brings together some of the most powerful ghouls in the world; and finally, V, but it's not of much importance just yet."

Of course, even if V were a gigantic and powerful organization, it is hidden, so it doesn't have much relevance at the moment, even if it is technically the cause of everything.

But that's a story for another day.

"Interesting, but how do humans fight ghouls? Any special techniques or do ghouls have a specific weakness?" asked Shinobu, pointing out that ghouls have physical capabilities far beyond humans.

In the Demon Slayer Corps, they used breathing techniques to amplify the slayers' physical abilities.

The nichirin that absorbed sunlight and wisteria poison, both of which are weaknesses of demons.

"They use quinques, weapons created with the kakuhou that was ripped from the ghouls," replied Lucian.

"... I think you're right to say that they're just as vicious as the ghouls." Knowing this shocked Shinobu.

From what he had heard from Lucian, she knew that ghouls were almost completely identical to humans, whether in their general anatomy, intellectual or emotional capacity.

And taking an organ from a similar being to make a weapon was something she had never thought of before.

"You'll get used to it in the future."

After giving a short lesson in the basics of the world of Tokyo Ghoul, Lucian and his troupe continued walking around and having fun.

Power is the greatest guarantee, and with their power, they could relax even in this new world.

...

The next day, Lucian was once again wandering around - visiting the anteiku in search of information.

"What are you doing here again?" Touka argued, annoyed that Lucian had come back after running away without paying the bill.

And this time he had even brought more people with him.

"Just having a drink and something to eat," Lucian replied, while ordering a few things from the menu.

"Do you really think I'm just going to bring the things you ordered?" Touka's anger only intensified upon hearing Lucian's words.

"I do! But don't worry, I intend to pay today, I got some money after yesterday's hunt." Lucian assured her.

"You'd better pay up anyway." Touka warned, her gaze squinting as he watched Lucian, the threat clear.

"What about them? You won't introduce them?" She continued, looking at the four women sitting next to Lucian.

... She ended up ignoring Kokushibo in this question, but he was also at the table.

"I'm Daki, the eldest and dearest wife." Daki boasted.

"Don't talk nonsense, Daki. I'm Kie Kamado, the first wife." Kie also introduced herself, after arguing with Daki.

After all, it was impossible to let Daki go on and on about being the "dearest" of them all.

Shinobu, seeing that they were going to argue a bit, sighed helplessly, before introducing herself: "I'm Shinobu Kocho, former demon slayer."

"And I'm Mitsuri Kanroji, also a former demon slayer, I hope we can get along!" Mitsuri stood up, saying hello in a friendly and animated manner.

"How old are you?"

"How much do you eat a day?"

"How does your family work?"

"What's your kagune?"

An enthusiasm that even put pressure on Touka, who is usually more calm and antisocial.

And in desperation, she asked for a little help from the only one she knew who could stop Mitsuri, Lucian.

Seeing the pleading in Touka's eyes, Lucian decided to help her out a little.

"All right Mitsuri, you can ask more questions later," said Lucian, putting a hand on her shoulder and stopping her frenzy of questions.

"This quiet one is my best subordinate, Kokushibo."

"... I'm Touka Kirishima, nice to meet you." Pulling himself together, Touka also introduced himself, but left shortly afterwards.

"... What's so special about this café?" asked Shinobu; in her opinion, it was impossible for Lucian to come to the same café twice in a row for no reason, even taking them along the second time.

"The manager is known as Owl, an SSS rank ghoul, and a former member of the V organization, as well as being the father of the founder of the Aogiri Tree.

The seemingly ordinary waiters are also very powerful ghouls, and that clumsy guy with the eye patch is probably the first ghoul successfully created through hybridization surgery.

In short, this café is very special." Lucian explained.

"So it's really interesting here." Shinobu nodded, also feeling interest growing in her heart.

A place full of powerful individuals, which also hosts someone like Kaneki, certainly seemed like the kind of place that would end up in the middle of various conspiracies.

"V and Aogiri Tree and then there's the CCG... That means it's going to be a mess here, is Touka going to be okay?" Mitsuri worried.

Just by looking at Touka, Mitsuri could tell that she was a good girl.

"Yes, she'll be fine, and you didn't have to ask her all those questions, did you see how scared she was?" Lucian laughed, and as if thinking of something, he continued: "And try not to ask about their family, there's almost always a sad story."

"I see...," Mitsuri replied sadly, realizing that she might have been rude in her approach.

"In fact, the situation is very similar to the vast majority of demon slayers," he said, using a comparison to make it easier to understand.

"The way you describe it is quite sad," sighed Kie, remembering everything that had been said, and even though she didn't know the accuracy of the events, thinking about it still made her sad.

"It's actually a bit worse, especially in this world, which is corrupted from top to bottom." Lucian commented, taking a sip of his tea.

Things are even more complicated than they appear, and even worse than Lucian described.
