Tokyo Ghoul: Madara Template Strikes Back!-Chapter 120 - 117: 2 Choices With The Same Reward!

Kanzaki Ryoma didn't immediately understand why Kamishiro Rize was upset. She wasn't the type to get angry over small things. For a moment, he was completely lost. Was it really because he didn't give her the orange mask?

Then Rize suddenly spoke.

"I thought you were good at coaxing and understanding girls, but you can't even see through something this simple?"

Ryoma sighed. "I'm really lost in this case."

He looked genuinely puzzled. Without any hints, it was impossible to know what she was thinking on the spot.

"Have you forgotten what I like most about you?" Rize said, giving him a clue.

She wasn't the type to stay quiet and expect him to guess blindly. With the clue rize gave, Ryoma understood immediately.

If there was something Rize liked the most about him, it had to be his scent. Or maybe, more directly, his flesh. Thinking back, he had worn the orange mask earlier... and that explained it.

She didn't like the orange mask at all— what she liked was the smell.

Ryoma gave an awkward smile. "Got it. When we go to make a mask for you, I'll keep your preferences in mind."

"Does Miss Rize enjoy putting others in awkward positions so much?" a voice cut in suddenly.

An unexpected jab from Nashiro, catching them both.

"He's my darling, is there a problem with me being a little selfish? You were only saved because he happened to be kind. Don't act like you're that close to him."

Rize's words were sharp, but she said them with a smile.

Too sharp!!, Ryoma thought. But he held back that thought

Kurona and Nashiro weren't aware of the past between Ryoma and Rize, so they had nothing to use against her.

"Are you really that close with ryoma?" Kurona asked, tone cold.

"Of course, This guy has already kissed me. Wouldn't you say that's close?" Rize countered instantly.

"What..." Kurona was visibly shaken.

She hadn't known anything about that.

Nashiro reacted faster. "Ryoma also carried Kurona like a princess once."

Kurona immediately fell silent. There was no point in comparing these things—it was embarrassing.

Rize leaned into the moment, grinning. Ryoma tried to explain.

"Don't misunderstand. That was only because you pulled something first, and the kiss was just on the cheek."

Rize ignored him. "So is what that flat-chested white-haired girl said true?" she asked Ryoma directly.

"...It's true," he replied.

"Then I want to experience it myself. I don't even know what it is, but it sounds interesting," Rize said.

Ryoma blinked. "It's just a princess carry."

He picked her up in that style on the spot. "Besides, I did this the last time I saved you."

Rize had been unconscious at the time. He had no other choice. Carrying her any other way wouldn't have worked, especially since she didn't even put her arms around his neck.

She tilted her head while in his arms. "Hmm, doesn't feel that special. But if I get to taste you while being held like this, it sounds pretty exciting."

Nashiro immediately regretted her earlier comment. It had only helped Rize score more points.

Ryoma set Rize down. "Alright, enough. Were any of you seen by CCG investigators this time?"

Though they were wearing masks, it was still best if the CCG didn't even get a glimpse. So far, they still have no confirmed appearance of "Oku" or more commonly known as "Binge Eater" —just a trail of bodies and a unique pattern that made it obvious it was the same ghoul.

"Nope. I didn't sense any investigators," Rize replied casually.

"Same for me and Nashiro," Kurona added.

"That's good," Ryoma nodded. "By the way, what excuse did you use when you took leave from kiyoko's unit?"

Kurona answered without changing expression. "We said we were preparing a celebration banquet for your victorious return."

She paused. "By the way, She also asked if we were living together."

Ryoma's face stiffened. "What did you say?"

"I said yes. Kurona hesitated, but she didn't deny it," Nashiro replied.

Ryoma's heart sank. So now even she knew that both girls were staying with him.

While it didn't affect his work, it definitely didn't help his image. Two cute girls from the same squad living at his place? The gossip would spread like wildfire.

At that moment, his phone rang, interrupting his thoughts.

"Hello?"

"Is this Kanzaki Ryoma? I hope I've dialed the right number."

The voice on the other end was unmistakable.

"Yes, is this Mr. Mado?"

"It's me. Last time you mentioned I could take a look at 'Jason.' Are you free now?"

"If it's convenient, I can head over to the 1st Ward headquarters."
