Fura come to school the next day.
He was supposed to be given a day off to rest and mourn after the whole incident.
He went somewhere during lunch break. Arima too.
The come back to class late together.
ー They're planning something
It's been 10 days since Arima start to spend his after school time with Fura. Just waiting behind the school.
Fura is wielding a nailed bat. Arima is with his guitar case.
That suspicious guitar.
"You kids…"
Ogata, the school caretaker, finally found them out.
ー About the time
A kagune pierced Ogata from behind.
It's not the young girl's.
Tch. That lowly ghoul
It's Tanaka, the janitor.
Maybe he think he can get an easy meal with a teacher and two students.
But the young girl know better.
That ghoul will die.
True to her word, Arima pull a white cylinder metal from his guitar case.
A blade emerge from the cylinder.
ー A quinque
Tanaka died.
ー Good riddance
There's a meeting among the remaining ghouls on 13th ward.
The young girl told them about the two students.
They ridicule her.
She warns her.
ー I can use them.
Sumiharu Katou. Beautician. Ghoul.
He thinks I don't know.
But she knows.
That's why she never let him cut her hair more than a few centimeter.
ー I'll use him first
I need a bit haircut anyway.
The young girl walk alone in an empty alley.
She make sure that both Katou and Arima along with Fura tail her properly.
She just need to lure Katou into attacking her.
He took the bait.
ー What an idiot
This come the hard part.
She must not fight back. She need to struggle pointlessly. But she can't put any strength.
The young girl sincerely pray for Arima and Fura to catch up quickly.
Before she kill the ghoul herself.
And they come the moment she made the prayer. Just like a proper hero.
Arima swipe the foot.
Katou jumped to evade.
Fura hit him from above.
Arima slash at his torso.
They make a good team.
Katou unleash his kagune, yet still unable to beat Arima.
ー Useless
Fura pick up a stone and throw it at Katou.
The mask shattered, blood coming out from Katou's left eye.
ー Nice pitch.
The young girl find herself praising the two of her enemies.
They're impressive. She has to admit that.
On the other hand…
Katou went around Arima and go straight to Fura…
Only to stop just in front and Fura and turn around to attack her.
She doesn't have to fake her surprise.
ー This idiot…!
Arima save her just in time.
Well, she won't die. But she may kill Katou in reflex.
It take all of her willpower not to unleash her kagune.
ー Good riddance
In the end they let the young girl to join their "Ghoul Hunt".
She tried her best to gather information.
She already know the ghouls of 13th ward. But she still need a valid trail to make it believable. She ended up with selling out a few fools who leave behind an obvious trail to Arima and Fura.
But Arima seems like he doesn't want to trust her. He won't let her join them in the actual hunt.
ー They killed another fool
The young girl lets out a breath.
It looks like they're done for today.
She slip away silently and resume her daily life.
Shopping for groceries, or simply strolling around.
Fura appeared before her.
"Fura-kun, you went shopping?"
"Yeah, my mom don't do any housework. So I need to do everything by myself."
"Hmm~ How admirable."
She really mean it.
If only he and Arima stop chasing after her.
If only he stop being a delinquent.
If only they live the proper way, like a normal teenagers their age.
Maybe they can be a real friends.
But the world is so unfair.
So unforgiving.
She knows that they're not going to stop chasing after her.
ー That's why I need to kill them. Fast.
Just then Yamori walks in front of them.
Just about the time.
She already planned this.
She'll found Yamori and lure both Arima and Fura with her. Going back by herself is dangerous, so she will need to come with one of them. Arima is the stronger one with more capabilities to fight ghoul, so he will be the one who come with her.
Fura believes her.
Everything went according to her plan.
She'll finish Arima while Yamori play with Fura.
"Arima-kun…"
"What?"
"Thank you very much for the other time. You're really amazing back then. I really think you're incredible. Especially how you always go straight to face the problem."
"That's why… Arima-kun..."
The young girl unleash her Kagune.
Eyes blazing with the color of blood.
"Please die"
