it’s been a while but here you guys go!

can’t assure you that it’s 100% accurate but go ahead! ;u;

[Kanae’s Flashback]



Tsukiyama is laying on top of the bed. Kanae hands over Sasaki’s underwear.

(Tsukiyama’s hand seems a bit plump?)



Kanae

Shuu-sama… Do you feel something…?

Like with how it feels or with its scent…



Tsukiyama

I don’t know…

The nose that I’ve been proud of hasn’t been working very well lately…



Aaah, but yes.

…I do feel somewhat nostalgic.



That and…

It has a very nice design…



[End Flashback]



—



Kanae and Hori Chie are inside a restaurant.



Kanae

Shuu-sama said… that he ‘doesn’t feel anything’.



Chie

…Anything?



Chie seems a bit surprised.



Kanae

Just get those despicable shorts out of my sight.



Kanae

(Shuu-sama… reacting to such a 'thing’…)



Chie

Really?



Kanae

Silence! A rose would not lie…



Chie

But you’re not a rose.



Kanae

Putting that aside…

Who is the owner of that item?



Chie

A Ghoul Investigator. His name is Sasaki Haise.



Kanae

(Sasaki… Haise…

Haise (a nameless)…

What an absurd name.)



—



Kanae speaks out his mind to Chie.



Kanae

You guinea pig…



Just because you were Shuu-sama’s classmate… you’re just a human being so don’t forget that I can kill you at anytime.



Chie

If you do that, I think Tsukiyama-kun would despise you, Kanae-kun.



It seems that person cares about me like how you would for a pet.

(literally, he’s attached to me like how you would for a pet)



I’ve also been with him, similar to you, for a long time. If I do need to get killed, Tsukiyama-kun will be the one to do it.



Kanae

…



Kanae, with a hateful expression on his face, leaves the place.



Chie

(Since Kanae-kun was 'asking’ about it, I guess that meant that he did have a 'reaction’ after all, Tsukiyama-kun.



It’s been almost 9 years since that time I took a picture of Tsukiyama-kun in his predation site since 'it seemed interesting’…)



Chie

Continue to entertain me, Tsukiyama-kun.

[Chie’s Flashback ~School Days with Tsukiyama~]



~a girl is talking about Tsukiyama~



Female Student

Tsukiyama-san is really wonderful!



He excels in both literary in military arts, not only that but there are rumors that he’s the son of a conglomerate…



He is the pride of Seinan High School!



Chie

…Tsukiyama-kun, huh. Sounds interesting.



~Sometime after school~



Tsukiyama talks to Chie after his eyes suddenly changed.



Tsukiyama

You bothered me… My first bite!!



I’m going to invite you to tomorrow’s dinner show.



Answer me. Now, what is reflected in your eyes?



~Tsukiyama and Chie getting along~



Tsukiyama

Hori! Hear me out!

I found a really rare ingredient!



I was chewing on it all-night long until the sun rose and I will tell you my thoughts about it!



Chie

Eh~ Nah, don’t want to. It’s going to be long.



Tsukiyama

Hahaha, little mouse!



~the morning after Anteiku Raid~



Tsukiyama is lying on the rooftop. He asks Chie a question.



Tsukiyama

…Hori, can you please tell me…?

Just what is 'gourmet food’?

* he says 'hori’ but it’s written in kanji that means 'moat’

[CCG]



Sasaki and the rest are having an investigation meeting.



Hanbee

…Please check the handouts.

This is a copy of the list that was found in Nutcracker’s home.



Sasaki

List…?



Hanbee

This is a list of orders for 'ingredients’.



Saiko is sleeping in the middle of the meeting. Shirazu is trying to wake her up.



Shirazu

Suzuya-san is watching, y'know!



Hanbee

This would imply a connection between the Madams and the Nutcracker.



Sasaki

Nuts 'also kidnaps people’…

With that in mind…



It’s possible that they were gathered for something like an 'auction’.



Mutsuki

An auction…?



Sasaki

An auction where the people who were kidnapped would be up for bids; it’s a part of a show.



The same as that 'restaurant’, there are rumors that the Madams were in charge of it.



And among them is a ghoul named 'Big Madam’ who was the chairman for the restaurant and the shows; even well-known in the CCG for its notoriety.



There have been countless times in the past where they could’ve been eradicated but, the plan usually ends in failure.



Juuzou

…



Hanbee

If ever the Nutcracker is receiving due to a request from the Madam…



This will become quite a big project and we’ll probably need to collaborate with the others and there’s a chance of getting formed into groups with Division II.



Narration

[Ghoul Countermeasures Division II]



A bigger perspective will be necessary.



Besides groups that are against organizations (in a war-way), they are responsible as the 'brain’ to formulate strategies and giving out instructions.

(not sure if i worded this correctly)



Combat experience and instantaneous analysis.



Even within the CCG where the overall forces have commanding abilities and the like, elites from the intellectual factions are assigned.



—



[After the meeting]



Sasaki and the rest are walking.



Shirazu

It seems like it’s going to become a bigger investigation than I thought, huh…



Sasaki

Yep. A collaboration with Division II doesn’t happen that often after all.



Shirazu

Hey, Sassan…

Urie… was 'suddenly in the hospital’, is he alright?



Sasaki

Sorry, I was only informed of it. I couldn’t contact Doctor Shiba either…



I just hope that it’s not something major…



It seems that he’ll come back after a few days so for the meantime, let’s do the investigation.



Urie is seen naked on top of an operating table.

[Kokuria]



Sasaki lets the others go home while he goes alone to where Donato is.



Sasaki

I even went all the way to get them to cooperate…

But I let Torso escape…

I’m sorry…



Donato

It’s fine. For me it’s just one conversation that would kill my boredom…



This other matter is about 'a certain ghoul’…

But before that, Haise.



What do you think of your own memories?



Sasaki

!!



Donato

It’s about you. And breaking it down…



Thoughts such as 'it’s alright if my memories don’t return’ and 'is it really okay for things to remain this way?’,



…you’re being tormented by such conflicting thoughts right?



You seemed to be clear of worries a bit before but today, it seems that your expression has clouded up again.



Something happened recently, yes?



A failure with Torso… no, it’s 'the cause of failure’.



Sasaki

…I’m really thankful that Donato-san helps me organize my thoughts.



Donato

*chuckles* Normal human beings would hate that.

People don’t want to be given such a deep analysis.



Donato glances at the surveillance cameras.

Sasaki

How much do you know about Orochi?



Donato

I only know as much as the materials show.

An S~ rate ghoul that hunts other ghouls.



Sasaki

…My feelings were wavering.

If there was a reason for it…



'Orochi’ and I…

It might be because we knew each other.



But, why are we talking about my memories now?

How about that other matter…?



Donato

I have a personal interest with a certain ghoul.

He might be one of the keys to the door of your memories.

…His name is–



Donato

Haise, the one hiding matters regarding Orochi…

Is you yourself. Isn’t something within your heart wanting to know about 'the memories you’ve lost’ even if you fear them?



What I’m saying is that what would fill up an empty bowl would be warm soup. As your friend, I will pray…



Sasaki

(An 'empty bowl’… huh…)



[End Flashback]

[Cafe :re]



Sasaki visits :re by himself. He’s looking over the books on the shelf in the store.



Touka

Please feel free… the books.



Sasaki

…! Oh… Thank you…



Touka

…Before, you were called 'teacher’ (sensei)…

Are you a teacher in school?



Sasaki

Ah… no…

I’m a Ghoul Investigator. I’m their mentor and…

[Quinx House]



Sasaki and the rest are having a meeting.

(Urie not present.)



Sasaki

If we look at Nuts’ list, humans that could be captured were given close attention (examined) within different clubs in the 13th Ward.



If the subject is a 'human with an artificial eye’ or a 'vocalist’ or something rare along those lines…



The height and weight of the ones who were cracked were also mentioned here…



… I see.



Sasaki

(Surely, with this list…)



Sasaki stands and says.



Sasaki

You guys… We will all become girls.

Shirazu

…



Mutsuki

…



Saiko

Oh my.
