Ghoul: Starting with Sharingan

"Dad...?"

In the heat of the moment, Mayu instinctively called out "Dad" forgetting that she was supposed to call him "Big Brother" when they were outside.

Byakuya appeared in front of Mayu, holding a golden briefcase in his hand — the SSS rated quinque, Owl.

The reason he hadn't acted earlier was to wait for the ghoul to reveal its identity.

A Ghoul Investigator couldn't just attack someone without clear evidence.

Now that the ghoul had released its kagune, he could finally take action.

Using an SSS rated quinque against an A+ rated ghoul was overkill, but Byakuya didn't have any other quinque on hand. His previous weapons, Moonshadow and Wind Spirit, had been lent to Arima and hadn't been returned yet.

He didn't plan to ask for them back either. It was better to just retrieve an S rated quinque from the CCG laboratory.

"Don't worry, Dad is really strong."

At this moment, Eto took Mayu's hand.

The only other person here was the ghoul who had come to make a fool of himself. Since this ghoul was as good as dead, there was no need to worry about formalities.

"Mm..."

Even so, Mayu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, her perspective was still limited. Aside from today, she had never left the 19th Ward, and Blood Ghost was the strongest ghoul in the 19th Ward.

It was similar to how Rize was nearly the strongest in the 13th Ward. The strength of ghouls varied greatly between wards.

Aside from the Washuu clan in the 1st Ward and Aogiri Tree in the 24th Ward, the only known SSS rated ghoul was Yoshimura, in the 20th Ward.

So, in Mayu's eyes, Blood Ghost was an incredibly formidable enemy.

"A Dove?!"

Blood Ghost immediately recognized the quinque briefcase in Byakuya's hand. "You're a Dove, and yet you're protecting a ghoul?!"

He found it utterly bizarre. He had never seen a Dove who would protect a ghoul...

Byakuya didn't bother responding. He had already drawn one of the Owl blades.

Seeing the quinque in Byakuya's hand, Blood Ghost couldn't identify it but felt a sense of intimidation.

Being ignored, Blood Ghost grew furious. "Then die!"

Three blood-red rinkaku kagune shot out, their tips converging into a single point as they lunged at Byakuya.

"Dad, be careful!"

Mayu couldn't help but cry out in worry.

However, Byakuya showed no intention of dodging. Instead, he stepped forward, his body shifting to the right in a way that defied human capability. The three rinkaku kagune grazed past the left side of his abdomen but didn't harm him in the slightest.

With a swift upward slash of the Owl, the three rinkaku kagune were severed cleanly.

Suddenly feeling excruciating pain in his kagune, Blood Ghost widened his eyes in disbelief as his three kagune fell to the ground.

His kagune wasn't particularly tough, but it shouldn't have been this easy to cut!

While Blood Ghost was still in shock, Byakuya had no intention of holding back. With a reverse slash, he aimed for Blood Ghost's neck, cleanly decapitating him.

This time, the pain wasn't the only thing Blood Ghost felt. His vision blurred, and he inexplicably found himself looking downward as his head hit the ground with a thud...

He could clearly hear the sound of his own head hitting the ground, but he still couldn't comprehend what had just happened.

"What... what's going on?"

Immediately after, Byakuya destroyed Blood Ghost's kakuhou, located at his waist, ensuring there was no chance of recovery.

Watching this scene unfold, Mayu's mouth hung open in shock, her wide eyes filled with disbelief.

She couldn't believe that Blood Ghost, who had terrorized the 19th Ward for so long, had been killed so easily by her "Dad"?!

This...

Mayu slowly began to realize that her "Dad" wasn't just an ordinary person — he wasn't even an ordinary Ghoul Investigator!

"See? I told you Dad is really strong."

Eto said to Mayu with a smile.

"Yeah!"

Mayu finally smiled as well.

Her ukaku and koukaku kagune had already retracted, and her kakugan had faded.

"Want to eat it?"

Eto suddenly asked.

"Huh...? Eat what?"

Mayu didn't immediately understand what her "Mom" was referring to.

"That guy's kakuhou. I've heard that ghouls can grow stronger through cannibalization. That guy didn't seem too weak, so eating his kakuhou should give you a decent boost."

Eto explained in detail.

"Oh!"

Mayu finally understood, but her face showed hesitation. "But... I don't want to do something like that..."

Mayu was still young and found the idea of cannibalization hard to accept.

Moreover, Blood Ghost had been the one who had eaten her parents, which made her even more averse to the idea.

In fact, Mayu had never even released her kagune before today, except when she was forced to. This meant she had never actively killed anyone.

Many young ghouls struggled with the idea of killing humans.

Even Roma had lived on rotten meat as a child until she tasted fresh flesh for the first time, after which she became uncontrollable.

Hearing that Mayu had no desire to cannibalize, Byakuya decided to call the CCG and have them come to dispose of Blood Ghost's body.

He had no interest in dealing with the corpse himself, nor could he leave it in a place where passersby might stumble upon it.

"Alright, it was wrong of me to bring up such a strange topic. Don't dwell on it."

Eto apologized.

"No, it's my fault for being so weak..."

Mayu would never blame her "Mom." Deep down, she knew that she was only causing trouble for her parents and would only hold them back in dangerous situations.

Forcing herself to grow stronger through cannibalization might be what she needed to do.

Mayu hated being a weak burden, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Maybe I should try it after all"

"There's no need. You shouldn't force yourself to do something you don't want to do"

At this moment, Byakuya spoke in a gentle tone. "Besides, your talent is already remarkable. Having both ikaku and koukaku kagune means your potential is incredibly high."
