Note: ( ) Thoughts, *** Translation Note, <— My comment

Sasaki: (Washuu Matsuri, Associate Special Investigator. Washuu Yoshitoki’s eldest son and the brain of S2 Squad.

He entered the academy in German at the age of 18. As a Rank 2 Investigator of Section I, he fought in the front line, and received achievement for defeating the ghoul family “Rosewald”.)

Sasaki: (He became a First Class Investigator at the age of 24 when he was still in German. When he returned back to Japan, he was given the task to lead Section II.

It seems that the Chief called him back to Japan after receiving Aogiri Tree’s damage report…)

Matsuri: —And so, the Nutcracker that Suzuya Associate Special is investigating is related to the Madame’s auction?

Suzuya: Yes, there’s no doubt of it looking at the list. We even get to know the date for the next auction.

Matsuri: "November 11"… A little more than two weeks, huh?

Suzuya: This is all thanks to Sasaki Rank 1 and Quinx investigation.

Sasaki: !

Matsuri: …Quinx, huh?

Sasaki: (He is the very person who doubted the necessity of Qs.)

Sasaki: (There is a rumor that Chief Washuu did not get along with Matsuri Associate Special…)

*** Chief Washuu here refers to Washuu Yoshitoki, Matsuri’s father.

Sasaki: (He is different from the Chief, who has a gentle and caring personality despite being a Washuu. The Associate Special hates the unnecessary. He is one who values logical thinking.

He prides his own bloodline, and completely believes in “Washuu Supremacy”.)

Sasaki: (Using their unique skill to battle against ghouls, one of the clans who made a living by exterminating ghouls— “Washuu”.)

Sasaki: (Out of the few “Ghoul Exterminators”, they were praised for being the leading force. Their name eventually reached the government’s ears.

In 1890, the head of Washuu family “Washuu Daikichi” created a government organization called the “Counter Ghoul Institution”. That is… The previous incarnation of “CCG”)

Sasaki: (Washuu family see people as “numbers”. They sacrifice them to bring forth the best result.

In German, the team that was led by Matsuri Associate Special was the one with the highest amount of achievements and casualties.)

Matsuri: Crossdressing in order to get close, that’s not what normal people would come up with.

Sasaki: T-Thank you.

Matsuri: That’s not a compliment.

Sasaki: Ah… I’m sorry.

Matsuri: The one who got the information using the decoy investigation was Mutsuki Rank 3, in that case, to fulfill the promise with Nutcracker… Mutsuki Rank 3 shall participate the auction.

Sasaki: !

Sasaki: J-Just on his own?

Matsuri: Of course… If not, it would be unnatural.

Sasaki: (I knew it, Associate Special, he intends to use and then throw him away…!)

Matsuri: This is so that they won’t get suspicious of us, and we can use this opportunity to attack them from within. You can’t bring Quinque with you if they perform physical investigation. Isn’t that what Qs power is for?

Sasaki: But…!! It’s still too early for Mutsuki Rank 3 to take on such a big mission…!

Matsuri: What do you mean by “but”, Rank One?

Sasaki: !!

Suzuya: Washuu Associate Special, is it okay if I joined the auction, too?

Sasaki: !? …Juu, Suzuya Associate Special?

Suzuya: I can pretend as a friend tagging along. If we want to screw things up from inside, it’s better having one more person with him.

Matsuri: Suzuya Associate Special is going to get a disguise, too?

Suzuya: Yes, I’m used to this kind of thing.

Matsuri: …Fine then.

Suzuya: Thank you very much.

Suzuya sticks his tongue out when only Sasaki is looking. <— LOL! I need to see this XD;;;

Matsuri: Come on in! Hirako, Mado, Shimoguchi.

Sasaki: !

Matsuri: This time, we the S2 Squad, Suzuya Squad, and the 3 First Class will be in command. I shall explain the outline of the “Auction Sweeping Operation”.

sasaki: Juuzou-kun, thank you for your help just now.

Suzuya: No, no, I also have someone that I want to meet.

Sasaki: …Mutsuki-kun, please take care of him.

Suzuya: …

Suzuya: Same here. <— Suzuya being so nice and polite… TT^TT He has grown so much.

Sasaki: Shimoguchi First Rank…! Congratulations for getting out of Hospital… How are you feeling?

Shimoguchi: …Are you being sarcastic?

Sasaki: Eh…?

Shimoguchi left.

Akira: Leave him alone. That’s how to be considerate to him.

Akira: Haise, with S2 on the move, this will become a huge battle. It’s a rare opportunity. I know you have no desire for promotion, but this is a good chance to earn achievement. This also applies to your subordinates. This operation, the rewards and the risks are equally huge.

Akira: …Even so, Mutsuki Rank 3 is given an overly difficult task… In this line of field, there’s no one who has never lost their superiors or subordinates. “CCG” is the gathering of “people who lost something”. Shimoguchi has to bear with it.

Akira: Don’t get more depressed than that. You are too kind.

Akira: …Be strong, Haise. Be strong and kill ghouls.

Akira: The one who doesn’t lose anything is the one who has the most power.

Sasaki: …

Akira: (…If you don’t want yours be taken away, you have to take others away…) <— I think this is a reference to Kaneki mindset post Aogiri Arc.

Akira: (That is how the world works.)

*** The last two sentences, I thought it was Sasaki who spoke, but apparently it was Akira according to the spoiler text. o.o;

Q’s Residence

Mutsuki: I… together with Suzuya Associate Special…

Sasaki: Don’t worry, Suzuya Associate Special is stronger than me.

Mutsuki: …

Sasaki: (If I look worried, Mutsuki-kun will become even more worried.)

Sasaki: We will get there quickly… that’s why… <— I think Sasaki is trying to reassure Mutsuki that everything is going to be fine.

Shirazu: Here you go, my will.

It seems that this operation is going to be as big as “Anteiku’s raid”.

Shirazu: Urie will return tomorrow. They should also fix that twisted personality of his while they’re at it. Ke-ke~

*** Ke-ke~ is kinda like mischievous laughter.

Shirazu: Oh, that’s right, it seems Tooru is in difficult situation. Let’s just go attack and join him as soon as we can! Hopefully we will get a raise. I’m gonna sleep!

Sasaki looks at Shirazu’s will, but what is written on it isn’t 遺書 (the will), but 随書 (Book of Sui, a book about the Sui Dynasty in China.).

*** Basically Shirazu made a mistake writing the kanji 遺 with 随. <— The amount of people who can’t write in TG… XD;;;

Sasaki: (I have to become stronger, I have to become stronger…)

At that moment, Saiko comes with an earpick.

Saiko: Pick for me.

Sasaki: Okay, okay.

Eto: You like tall places, aren’t you?

Eto: Ayato-kun, a message from Tatara-san.

Ayato: …Eto.
