Touka and Yoriko went out of the school grounds with Mayuhara and her friends waiting for them to show up so they can go to the park where the fight will take place. Forty percent of the entire student body followed them, having heard the news about the fight.
As they crossed on one side, Chigurh is seen on the other side, and there are people surrounding him. He unknowingly bumps into Mayuhara.
"Hey, watch where you going, you bastard!" Mayuhara yelled, but he just ignores her and continues walking. "Don't ignore me! Face me and apologize!"
At least he stopped to face her.
"Are you talking to me?" Chigurh stared at her and asked in his usual monotone voice.
"Yeah, I'm talking to you, freak!" Mayuhara argued, not to mention being annoyed by his staring. "Also, quit staring at me!"
"Is there a problem, miss?" Chigurh asked.
"Oh, I have a problem, and that is you not watching where you're going!" Mayuhara exclaimed with anger.
"Oh, I'm watching where I'm going," Chigurh retorted calmly. "You're the one who needs to watch where you're going."
"Are you picking a fight with me?"
"Perhaps you're the one who's picking a fight with me."
Mayuhara just couldn't believe the man she encountered. He seems to have a comeback for everything, and that infuriates her.
"What is that?" she noticed the hose of the weapon he's carrying in which she has no idea of what he is using it for.
"Would you... hold still, please?" he said in a monotone, pointing the hose to her forehead. With his thumb on the trigger, he's willing to kill her just for being an annoyance. At least no one would trace this murder back to him since his weapon has no ammunition, therefore leaving no trace of physical evidence. Also, the sound heard when it goes off is almost completely silent.
"Mayuhara, let's go!" Mariko called for her.
"See you around," Chigurh has decided to leave her alone.
All while this is happening, Touka and Yoriko are at the park witnessing what is happening outside, and he didn't even notice them as he took his leave.
Who... who are you? Yoriko thinks to herself, trying to remember the man she saw. I've seen that face... somewhere before.
Unfortunately for her, Chigurh disappeared into the crowd before she could identify more of him.
"Yoriko, what's wrong?" Touka asked her with concern, trying to get her out of her thoughts.
"Oh, sorry for spacing out, Touka. It's just that… I feel like I met that guy somewhere before," Yoriko admitted her opinion on the man she just saw. "I don't remember what happened on that night before I woke up in the hospital. Even so, I felt like I met him, but I don't know why."
"Don't worry about it. Kaneki felt the same way when you became a you-know-what like him," Touka said quietly, trying not to bring up the 'g' word in front of the student body. "Eventually, you'll remember what happened. I guarantee it."
"Right…"
As soon as everybody is at the park, the fight between Touka and Mayuhara is about to start. They are surrounded by two kinds of crowds, and one includes where they support Touka. Of course, Yoriko is on that side, clasping her hands together as she prayed that Touka doesn't get too badly injured. The other side of the crowds is where they support Mayuhara.
What neither the students didn't know is that Kaneki is watching from afar.
"Ready?" a boy asked.
"I'm so gonna enjoy this," Mayuhara grinned while cracking her fists.
"All I know is that you're gonna lose," Touka responded calmly.
"Fight!" a boy shouts.
Mayuhara makes her first move as she rushes to throw a punch at her, but Touka is able to dodge it fast enough before throwing a punch to her stomach. Despite this, Mayuhara tries throwing another punch at Touka. She doesn't have time to react and the fist collides with her face, sending her flying to the ground.
Touka quickly stands up from the ground before getting punched in the face again by Mayuhara. Yoriko couldn't believe how tough the latter is, despite the fact that she's just human.
Meanwhile, Chigurh is seen walking out of a nearby building after committing a murder inside with the use of the captive bolt pistol, the weapon he used in almost killing Mayuhara with just for being an annoyance. He takes note of the fight happening in the park.
"Delinquents..." he muttered his opinion on it as he walked away from seeing the fight. To him, he could care less about some fight happening between two students.
Kaneki is relief to see him leave. God knows what might would have happened if he saw Yoriko watching the fight in a crowd filled with students.
Back to the fight, Touka is down on the ground after Mayuhara sends a kick to her stomach. Just as the latter is about to stomp her foot on her face, Touka grabs her foot before she got the chance and with all her strength, pulls Mayuhara over. Touka rolls onto the now downed Mayuhara, and she lands a headbutt on her before throwing a heavy punch on her. They both stand up and throw punches at each other, but none hit.
Mayuhara is about to send another kick to her stomach, but Touka blocks it, not allowing herself to fall for the same attack. Then she flips her over, sending Mayuhara to the ground once again. Touka is about to deliver another punch when Mayuhara blocks it and sends a kick to her gut. That stunned the former enough so that she can get up and throw her to a tree.
Once Touka is down on the tree, Mayuhara throws harder punches towards her face before throwing her to the ground with one punch. The crowd stands there, horrified at how things turned out. Yoriko is especially horrified, tears rolling down her face as she saw Mayuhara approaching Touka and sends kicks towards her while she is on the ground.
"Someone please help her!" she cries.
It seems nobody hears her over the screams of pain coming from Touka, but one person does hear her, the person she didn't expect to see. The familiar eyepatch catches her eye, and both of her eyes widen from seeing Kaneki stepping into the arena. The crowd question who he is and whose side is he on, though Yoriko already knows the answer to both questions.
"Kaneki-san, save her please!" she cries, causing Touka to face her direction, noticing the half-ghoul she hasn't seen for a long time.
Just as Mayuhara is about to deliver the final kick to her, Kaneki grabs the bully girl in both shoulders and tosses her aside.
"Kaneki?" Touka questions quietly as she stands up. The crowd wondered what is happening. "Why did you come back?"
"I came back because I got strong enough to protect everyone," Kaneki responds.
"You came back just for that?!" Touka asks angrily. "After I waited for you in six whole months?!"
Yoriko winced at the sight of the argument, sensing her hostility towards the guy.
Touka rushes to attack Kaneki, but he is able to block her punch that was aiming for his face. Surprised from the move he made, she attempts to punch him again with her other hand, only for him to block it. He releases them after a second, and she attempts to kick him, but he jumps over it. Not giving up that easily, she continues to attack him until Mayuhara stands back up and grabs a hold of her hair.
"I'm not finished with you yet, Kirishima," Mayuhara growled.
Just then, Kaneki grabs a hold of her wrist to release her hold over Touka, and he holds her other wrist before headbutting her to the ground.
"Let's go Touka, Yoriko," he said.
"Don't think you can leave because you lost!" Mayuhara growled louder from the ground.
"Oh no, she didn't lose. You lost because you're unable to move after that strong headbutt I gave you. Also, I saw you making a dirty move by continuously attempting to kick Touka while she's down. Consider that a foul on your part," Kaneki said. "If you want a rematch, then so be it. I should tell you that Touka is going to improve the next time you two want a fight."
As he leaves with both female ghouls following him, Kaneki drags them both to the street.
"What now?" Touka asked.
"I think we should go to Anteiku and talk about what to do next," Kaneki suggests.
"Anteiku? I know you work there, Touka, but what's the secret about that place?" Yoriko questioned.
"And that's the surprise I wanted to show you, Yoriko, now that you're half-ghoul," Touka responded. "Are you ready to know what it is?"
"Yes, Touka. I'm ready," Yoriko nods.
"Then follow me," Kaneki said, going to their destination.
