112 Condition (1/2)
20th Ward, Anteiku Cafe, July 1st, Year 1 ASBI
After Lucien left the 24th Ward and proper control and observation of the Ward, reconstruction work on it, he went to the 20th Ward to visit Anteiku Cafe, which he would visit once a week. He would always check on Touka how she was doing in her work and talk a bit with old man Yoshimura. Talking with an old man Yoshimura was interesting to experience as he was a wise old man who could give advice, and good on the top of that. He knew that soon the Owl Suppression Operation would come, but not so soon, as not the Commission of Counter Ghoul was severely weakened due to Lucien's schemes.
He entered the Anteiku Cafe and as now it was already afternoon, Touka was also present. Along with old man Yoshimura who looked the same as always and Irimi. Lucien sat at the bar, opposite an old man Yoshimura so he can talk to him.
”Hello, Mr. Yoshimura.”
Greeted Lucien politely when he sat down at the bar. Old man Yoshimura automatically started making coffee for him moment he sat down.
”Good day to you, Mr. Aeon.”
Greeted back Yoshimura as he finished making his coffee for him. Lucien then thanked for coffee and already sensed the mesmerizing aroma of the coffee.
”Last months the CCG is rather silent Mr. Aeon, don't you think so?”
Asked old mand Yoshimura with his eyes closed as he cleaned some cups which were dirty from coffee. Lucien chuckled hearing this, as he knew the reason for silent from the side of Commission of COutner Ghoul. He was behind that huge massacre of several hundred people from the CCG and also the death of several high-ranking ghoul investigators.
”Yes, they are. I know that soon, they will act and they have already chosen their target and if you agree to one condition of mine, I would help you as best I can.”
Old man Yoshimura narrowed his eyes slightly hearing his statement as he also had some bad feeling about this. He was a very experienced person, a survivor. He knew the exact reason behind Lucien's words. He was indirectly saying that the next target of the CCG would be Anteiku faction because the CCG needed some achievement after that bloodshed and also in the eyes of the Commission, the Anteiku faction is weakest of all.
Strictly speaking, this statement wasn't false. The Aogiri Tree, which had Eto who was SSS+ rated Owl and now she was also stronger. Next, there were Noro and Tatara, both of them were reclassified already as SSS-rated individuals and many SS-rated ghouls and a huge number of S-rated ghouls. Huge as huge, compared to past it is huge, but they had around twenty S-rated ghouls and around six or so SS-rated ones for sure.
Compared to that, the Anetiku faction was severely lacking in combat strength. Only SSS-rated ghoul was an old man Yoshimura, who wasn't in the best condition as he was already old. They had only two SS-rated individuals and those were Koma Enji and Irimi Kaya. Plus Kirishima Touka who could rival the strength of SS-rated ghoul, but only those weaker ones.
