49 We (2/2)

Explained Yoshimura as he was preparing other cups of coffee for mercenaries here. They actually drank coffee like water. One after another.

”I must thank you for help her deal with this issue. I let her observe that young man because I felt something bad would happen to him. He is unstable and can't decide to which world he belongs.”

Lucien nodded his head in approval. He admired old man Yoshimura. He was somewhat kind and caring person toward other ghouls, who needed help. Maybe it came from his personality or from his tragic past, who knows.

”Mr. Yoshimura, from my respect to your person I must warn you that Washuu Clan is scheming something. Something big and extremely dangerous for us.”

Said Lucien with a serious voice, to which even Yoshimura opened his eyes slightly, even though he always kept them closed.

”I wish I could help you, but I was only cleaner in Vasuki, we were tasked by eliminating and killing targets, we didn't have access to confidential pieces of information of the organization itself.”

Stated old man. Cleaners were at the very bottom. They just killed targets that they were told and that's all. They didn't have access to any secret information or something like that. They were just weapons in hands of Vasuki.

”You should be careful these times. I am preparing to move against Washuu Clan soon.”

Yoshimura wasn't surprised from his claim, cause he was aware he had enough power to back up his word. Only those with supreme strength could say something like this. It was common knowledge that attacks against Washuu Clan were nothing more than some form of suicide.

=============================================

On the second floor of Anteiku

This room looked very comfortable at first look. In the center of the room were two sofas facing each other and television at the wall. At one of those sofas, young black haired Kaneki was sleeping, no no was waking up. When he woke up he looked through the window, surprised from change and waking up in an unfamiliar place.

”You're awake.”

Said the elderly voice behind him. It was old man Yoshimura who was standing behind him and observing him. When Kaneki turned around to him, he continued explaining the situation to him.

”You're on the second floor of Anteiku. Touka and Lucien brought you here.”

To this, he was shocked. Firstly because Touka that apparently hated him, actually helped him. Secondly, it was the name of the man, whose he didn't recognize. But he could deduce he was probably a foreigner, from his non-japanese name.

”What about my friend?!”

Screamed when he finally remembered the situation.

”... Come with me”

Then Kaneki stood up and followed after Yoshimura to another room where his friend Hide was sleeping currently. From conversation they had with Yoshimura Lucine could think that it wasn't anything good to hear for Kaneki.

=============================================

”Touka-san I think you would have a new colleague.”

Said Lucien with a mischievous and teasing smile to Touka. He was calling her by her name because she was doing the same. As he wasn't Japanese he wasn't very comfortable with this style of addressing so they both called each other with their names.

Touka to this gave him a very unpleasant look before turning away. She swore to herself she would try hit Lucien as hard as she can when they would train together tomorrow. She knew that he was from some noble family and he seemed to be a gentleman so he won't be using his full power when they would train against her.
