Thank you ❤
Tatara easily evades Houji’ and his subordinate. He needs to get back to his girl, get her out of here before CCG overruns the place.Â
But suddenly he has a clear path to kill Houji. To avenge Fei and Yan.Â
And kill their child’s uncle. Tatara does something he never has before: he hesitates.Â
Houji doesn’t. Houji sends Tatara flying onto his back. “You say you want Fei and Yan back? Give me my sister back.”Â
Tatara cackles.Â
“Stop!” screams a voice.
“Get back!” Tatara bellows, and Houji hates how he talks to his sister.
But she’s there. In the doorway to the abandoned shopping mall. And then he sees why Tatara yelled.
Houji’s world spins.Â
“Mr. Houji?” Takizawa Seidou frowns.Â
“Don’t you dare.” Her eyes are full of tears. And her stomach is very, very round.
Houji turns back to Tatara, gasping. “It’s not possible.”
“It is,” says his sister.
“It can’t be his,” Houji blusters.Â
Tatara leaps to his feet. No one insults her – and her own brother, at that!
“Wait!” Houji watches as Tatara wraps an arm around her shoulder. “Let us help you.”
“How?” She tightens her jaw. “By killing my ghoul child? I had to eat flesh just to get them this far. I’ll die before CCG touches them.”
Houji is crying himself. “Please, (Name).”
She shakes her head. “I can’t. But you can.”
Tatara narrows his eyes. If she’s offering Houji a place in Aogiri – he’ll – he’d rather – he’ll just let it be because it would make her happy.Â
Houji shakes his head. “You know I can’t.”
“Mr. Houji.” Takizawa is confused. “Why is a human with him?”
Her heart breaks. Houji can’t let her go, he won’t want to, not before an underling. But he can’t kill her either. “Tatara, can you…”
Tatara nods and uses his kagune to slice Houji’s legs. He stumbles, and in that instant, Tatara scoops her in his arms and whisks her away.
