48 Hunger (1/2)

Touka immediately turned around to see Lucien standing behind her and smiling at her. It was apparent that he was hiding here and listening to the conversation they had.

”Not really. That half-ass in delusional about how things go in this world. He is already one of us, even when he isn't accepting that fact.”

Explained Touka in a calm voice. She knew that Lucien wasn't threat and he seemed to be a kind person, at least from third person view.

”Hmm, you are right. But his mind is still like a human and he lived in human society unlike us. We are raised in a strength-based hierarchy, where strong rule and weak die. That something completely different from those idiotic ideas that humans have these days.”

One thing must be said and that Lucien despised current society. Talks about everyone it equal and everyone had the same rights are pure nonsenses. He could see that young boy that had been turned to one-eyed ghouls is still leaned over his previous morals and ideals.

Touka hearing this smiled and nodded her head in approval. Ghoul society and human society were completely different. Current human society was based on the principles of democracy and tolerance. In contrast to that, ghoul society was a strength-based hierarchy. Lucien knew that ghouls had society extremely close to that in the multiverse. Strong rule, weak die.

If you want to have peace, then you must be strong enough to create it and protect.

”Soo what are you going to do now? Wanna go on coffee?”

Hearing this Touka, knew that she was tasked to watch over him a little but she thought that he won't need her some time so she accepted Lucien's offer. After a while, they both went to some coffee that Lucien chose.

As he wanted always the best he chose the most expensive cafe in the surroundings. Touka was speechless from this, cause prices here were like from another world. She was still only a student so paying several thousand yens from coffee was too much.

”Don't worry, I am paying as it was me who invited you.”

Smiled Lucien at her. Lucien ordered the most expensive coffee here for both of them. It was coffee made from Viverrinae, which those small animals that were eating coffee beans and... you know what. Touka was surprised by his choice that he chose this type of coffee.

After some time they were talking about various things, Lucien asked her about the school she was visiting cause she was still a student, judging by attire. In this life, he never attended schools, cause on Blood Island weren't anything like that.

Children on Blood Island were taught by their parents mostly, so there wasn't any need for something like schools.

”It looks like a bother, going every day to schools, with countless humans.”

Stated Lucien as he sipped his coffee. One must say that this coffee was a very good one.

”It sounds like you have never attended it.”

Said Touka to Lucien, to which he only smiled.
