This guy Mo Mo was also a bit hard to figure out.
Coming here to study abroad with the identity of an Associate Special-Class Investigator from China was already surprising enough, but he was actually researching ghouls in the Ghoul Research Society, a school club of all places.
It's no wonder about their standards..
It was likely only Vice President Suzuki who knew of Mo Mo's true identity, none of the other club members had a clue.
"As long as it's somewhere off-campus, then I've got a good place in mind. Or rather, not just one."
Uchiha Byakuya said.
For example, "Cochlea."
Of course, it wasn't like he'd actually bring Mo Mo and the others to a place like Cochlea.
Mo Mo, after all, was still a genuine Associate Special-Class Investigator, even if from another country.
But the rest of the members were still students and clearly not suitable to be taken to a place like Cochlea.
He had another place in mind.
"Where is it?"
Mo Mo asked immediately.
The rest of the members were also extremely curious.
After all, the person in question was the Supreme Chairman of the TSC. The place he could take them to surely wasn't anything that could be considered as ordinary.
Tokyo, the Tsukiyama Estate.
The place Byakuya brought Mo Mo and the others to was none other than the Tsukiyama family mansion.
Or rather, a luxurious grand manor.
Due to the prior matter in Germany, Yoshimura Tsuneyoshi had personally gone over to clean up the mess, and the Tsukiyama family was, because of it, very grateful to Byakuya.
They had previously invited him to visit, though he hadn't gone until now.
As for the Rosewald family, although they weren't completely annihilated down to just one member, they had already been torn apart.
That ghoul family, unfortunately was now as good as gone, though many of its members had survived, they simply had to go into hiding under new names.
That was already the best outcome that the Washuu had fought for. If Washuu Tsuneyoshi hadn't gone, then in the original timeline, every member of the Rosewald family except Kanae would have been wiped out.
Now, "Karren von Roswald," the former being her actual name, had returned from Germany to the Tsukiyama family to prepare for the Rosewald family's revival and had changed her name to "Kanae von Rosewald."
When they arrived at the gates of the Tsukiyama estate, apart from Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto, the reactions of everyone else were filled with excitement.
Mo Mo and Suzuki Aoka were relatively composed in comparison, but the other club members were all wide-eyed in awe.
After all, such a grand house was extremely rare to see.
Just then, one of the Tsukiyama family's servants came to open the door for them.
"Uchiha-sama, Yoshimura-sama, and everyone else, please come in."
The Tsukiyama family's servants were all ghouls, and their combat strength was nothing to scoff at either.
After Byakuya and the group entered, one servant spoke again: "The master has important matters today and is still out. He didn't know you two would come by unexpectedly, and we ask your pardon. If needed, we'll inform the master at once, he should return soon."
"It's alright. We just brought our classmates to take a look around. No need to trouble President Tsukiyama."
Byakuya calmly said.
"I see. Then please make yourselves at home. We can serve as your guides."
The servant said.
"Actually, they just wanted to study the lifestyle of upper-class ghouls, so just looking around is more than enough."
Byakuya explained.
He had already explained the situation about the Tsukiyama family to the other club members in advance, as much as possible, just observe. Don't get any ideas about researching people's kakuhou or kagune.
"Alright."
After that, the servants followed behind Byakuya and the others and if anything was needed, they just had to call.
Byakuya and the rest simply wandered around; the Tsukiyama family's grand estate was massive. Just a casual walk around already took quite a bit of time.
Soon, they also met the young master of the Tsukiyama family, Tsukiyama Shuu.
Currently, because of his young age, Tsukiyama Shuu was only around twelve years old. He still looked a bit obedient and introverted, nothing like the flamboyant, unrestrained person he would become in the original story.
Attending to Tsukiyama Shuu at the moment was none other than Kanae of the Rosewald family.
Right now however, Kanae was dressed as a boy.
She had light purple hair as her long hair had already been cut short. Her face was handsome, and her disguise was well done, it really wasn't easy to tell that she was actually a girl.
Because of her special identity, not only did she go into hiding under a new name, but she also had to conceal her real gender.
Dressing as a boy was her way of 'reviving' the Rosewald family.
However, for now, what she should be doing was properly serving Master Tsukiyama Shuu.
"Master Shuu, it looks like a few unfamiliar people have arrived."
At this moment, "Kanae" spoke.
"They're probably Father's friends. Otherwise, the servants wouldn't have let them in."
Tsukiyama Shuu said with an indifferent tone.
He looked a bit listless, as if he found everything boring.
Right now, Tsukiyama Shuu and Kanae were in a pavilion within the Tsukiyama estate, leisurely having their afternoon tea.
Of course, this "afternoon tea" was actually made from human blood.
But it wasn't obtained through hunting humans by the Tsukiyama family, rather, it was acquired through special channels, such as a blood bank.
Given the influence of the Tsukiyama family, obtaining some blood packs wasn't exactly difficult.
After a while, Byakuya, Eto, and all the others also arrived at the pavilion.
Tsukiyama Shuu's keen sense of smell immediately picked up a very peculiar aroma, no, more than one!
From a young age, he had possessed an abnormal obsession with "gourmet delicacies."
Having eaten too much human flesh and drunk too much human blood, he had grown sick of it. He sought a greater sense of stimulation.
This was also why, in the original story, Tsukiyama Shuu's eating habits were completely different from those of normal ghouls, one could even call them perverted, such as the classic "eyeball sashimi."
And at this moment, the strange, enticing aroma he smelled naturally came from Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto.
They were both hybrids carrying the bloodlines of both humans and ghouls, their scent was certainly different from that of ordinary humans or ordinary ghouls.
But once Tsukiyama Shuu saw Uchiha Byakuya and Yoshimura Eto, he immediately understood a great deal.
"So that's who it is... Ah, what a shame..."
Tsukiyama Shuu shook his head slightly with a tone of deep regret.
These two were celebrities in Tokyo, so of course he would recognize them.
And it was precisely because it was them that they had such an extraordinary aroma: one a half-human, the other a half-ghoul.
This also made Tsukiyama Shuu realize that the scent of human-ghoul hybrids was so distinct, that it was such an exquisite delicacy he had never tasted before.
And the most unfortunate thing was: he didn't dare harbor any ideas about the two of them.
Otherwise, he would undoubtedly be dooming the entire Tsukiyama family.
