Ghoul: Starting with Sharingan

"Dad!"

Mayu couldn't help but rush over and hug Byakuya tightly.

"That's right. There's no need to force yourself to do things you don't like"

Eto chimed in.

"Mm! I'll listen to Mom and Dad!"

Mayu nodded vigorously.

Especially after "Dad" praised her talent, her mood improved significantly.

She had never really thought much about having two types of kagune. Because she was so weak, she had assumed it was just a quirk that made her slightly different from other ghouls.

After Byakuya made the call, the CCG branch in the 19th Ward quickly dispatched Third Class Investigators and their assistants to handle the scene.

Byakuya and the others waited there for a while.

"Special Class Byakuya!"

Upon arrival, the investigators immediately greeted Byakuya with respect.

They also noticed Eto and Mayu standing nearby, but they didn't dare ask questions. They knew it wasn't their place to pry.

They had recently heard that Byakuya, despite his young age, already had a wife. This news had caused quite a stir within the CCG, especially among the female colleagues.

As for the younger girl next to him, she was probably his sister or something.

They didn't dwell on it and instead focused on processing the corpse.

"Sister Eto, What does 'Special Class' mean?"

Mayu asked Eto.

With outsiders present, she was careful about how she addressed her "Mom" and "Dad."

"It means Special Class Investigator. Within the CCG, Ghoul Investigators are ranked, and Special Class is the highest rank."

Eto explained to Mayu.

At that moment, a young and outgoing assistant investigator added, "Investigator Byakuya is now widely recognized as the strongest investigator in the CCG."

A Third Class Investigator nearby shot him a glare, signaling him to keep his mouth shut.

While it was true that most people now considered Byakuya the strongest investigator, it was best not to let such comments reach the ears of the other special class investigators. It was fine to think it, but saying it out loud was another matter.

"Brother Byakuya is the strongest investigator?"

Mayu was stunned.

She had thought that "Dad" was a strong Ghoul Investigator, but she never imagined he was this powerful!

The strongest ghoul investigator — no wonder he could defeat Blood Ghost so easily.

Byakuya gently patted Mayu's head but didn't say anything more.

"That's right. With him round, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

Eto said.

Even if Mayu were to be sent to Anteiku later, the strength there would make it almost completely safe—unless the V launched a full-scale attack on Anteiku.

Watching Byakuya's gentle interaction with his "sister" the investigators couldn't help but think that he had a softer side. They had always assumed he was a cold-blooded killing machine.

While the investigators handled the scene, Byakuya could have left immediately.

He exchanged a few words with them and then left with Eto and Mayu to head home.

On the way back, Mayu still couldn't believe it.

Her "Dad" was the strongest investigator in the CCG, and he treated her so well!

Little did she know, her "Mom" was also the strongest ghoul.

On the surface, it was the strongest human and the strongest ghoul.

...

A lot had happened today, and by the time they got home, it was already quite late.

Mayu quickly fell asleep in bed.

Byakuya and Eto weren't ready to sleep yet and sat on the couch in the living room, watching TV.

Mayu was asleep in the bedroom with the door closed, and the soundproofing was quite good.

At this moment, Eto suddenly spoke with a meaningful expression, "So, you've really been using my dad's arm as a weapon, huh?"

Although she had heard about it before, seeing Byakuya wield the quinque made from her father's kagune arm still made her feel a bit emotional.

"I didn't have any other quinque to use at the time."

Byakuya explained matter-of-factly.

"Why so serious? I'm not blaming you."

Eto had always found Byakuya's occasional seriousness amusing. "You must have held back back then, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't have just been his kagune arms that got cut off."

"True."

Byakuya nodded. "I've always respected Yoshimura."

"You're quite tolerant, aren't you? As a member of the 'radical faction,' you still hold such respect for a 'moderate.'"

Eto teased in a playful tone.

"It's not conflicting. Besides, Yoshimura is your father. Why would I deliberately harm him?"

Byakuya stated plainly.

"You... you really have the nerve to say that, you lolicon~"

Eto's lips curled into a smirk.

"I'm not a lolicon."

Even after saying it a thousand times, Byakuya still felt the need to emphasize this point.

"Yeah, yeah~"

Eto replied casually.

Although she now mostly understood Byakuya's feelings, she wasn't in a hurry to clarify their relationship.

Their current dynamic was already clear; they just hadn't put it into words yet.

Because Eto still had concerns — her ideals hadn't been realized yet.

As long as the Washuu clan remained, and the world didn't change, there was still a chance that she and Byakuya could end up in a tragedy like the one between Yoshimura and Ukina.

If they had a child, she didn't want them to repeat her own mistakes...

"By the way, how's the progress on my book's publication?"

Eto suddenly remembered the publishing matter.

She was looking forward to holding her published work and meeting her father for the first time since she could remember.

There were so many things she wanted to say to him.

"It's almost done. The process is going smoothly. It should be finalized within a month at most."

Byakuya said.

He had been keeping a close eye on the publishing process.

"That's good. We should probably get some sleep soon."

Eto glanced at the time — it was almost 10 PM.

"Right. Let's take a shower and then sleep. You first, or me?"

Byakuya asked.

"Do you even need to ask who goes first?"

Eto teased. "Besides, 'Dad' did such a great job protecting Mayu today. You deserve a reward~"
