In the afternoon, Yuzuki drove a regular small van to the market to buy supplies.
Actually, he didn't need to buy supplies; he could simply spend money in the system store to buy the freshest Earth ingredients.
However, he still had to look impressive; after all, a restaurant that could provide unlimited ingredients without having to buy them would be too fake.
At least he had to pretend until he became truly strong.
As the small van drove against the wind, it stayed in the left lane.
Due to his increased strength, Yuzuki could actually drive well even with peripheral vision.
He drove with his left hand, his right arm resting on the window, his gaze on the road, and his eyes on the scenery outside.
District 20 was not in the core area of Tokyo, so small mountains and scenery could still be seen.
Some of the sights even seemed familiar to him, as he had an impression of them.
After a while, they arrived at the market.
Yuzuki bought a variety of vegetables, seafood, and meat.
Then he packed everything and brought it back to the van.
After that, he headed home.
And along the way, he finished enjoying half of the other scenery.
It was only around one or two in the afternoon.
Before 6 PM, it was his break time.
Because the restaurant's operating hours were from 6 PM to 2 AM, exactly 8 hours.
Along the way.
Yuzuki, in a good mood, even hummed a song.
"Forgive me, forgive me."
Indeed, it was the OP song from Tokyo Ghoul.
Humming a song all the way.
Yuzuki drove back around the road.
He first saw two people carrying silver-white briefcases, undoubtedly two CCG agents.
After driving for a while, just before turning into an alley,
He saw a graceful red-haired woman in a suit, accompanied by a blue-haired man and a blonde woman with her hands clasped behind her head, looking somewhat messy, walking down the street.
Yuzuki was shocked, "Oh my, Makima!"
And in that brief moment of observation, Makima, walking down the street, turned to look at Yuzuki.
With a quick glance, Yuzuki diverted his gaze and drove the van to the end of the alley to park.
Makima stopped at the entrance of the alley and looked inside.
Then she looked toward Anteiku Coffee Shop at the entrance of the alley.
Hayakawa Aki, behind her, stopped and asked, "Was there a fight here last night?"
Power, who was carelessly walking behind, was so busy looking at the scenery that she didn't pay attention to where she was walking and bumped into Makima, then bounced back.
"You..."
Power thought it was a pedestrian.
But when she turned, her gaze met Makima's, and she immediately lowered her head, saying nothing.
Makima turned and looked down the street.
"There."
After crossing another street.
This alley had been closed off from end to end by the police.
The CCG had also arrived.
Now the Anti-Demon Division was here too.
Both sides exchanged glances, saying nothing.
Some Ghouls were very weak, while others were very strong, as were the demons, but to ordinary people, they were all invincible creatures.
And behind the Ghouls and demons, there was a great power controlling them.
Both sides avoided direct conflict, and there was no need for conflict.
So the CCG began investigating the Ghoul incident, and the Anti-Demon Division investigated the demon incident.
On the other side.
Yuzuki parked the van, returned home, and had taken out all the groceries, placing the perishable items in the kitchen and the non-perishable items in the system space.
After tidying up the store a bit, today's preparations were complete.
Yuzuki made another cup of lemon tea and sat in a lounge chair on the porch to rest.
He propped his feet up on the nearby stone table, sipped the iced lemon tea, and watched videos on his phone.
As he scrolled, he found a nearby video pushed by big data.
The video was taken last night.
The filmmaker hid behind a window, showing half of his head and his cellphone, which was aimed at the scene of the fight last night.
Due to the poor pixel quality of the phone and the distance, the video was unclear.
Only the sounds and the aftermath of the fight could be seen faintly.
However, even so, many houses and shops in the video suffered quite severe damage.
Without insurance claims, homeowners would suffer significant losses.
Yuzuki looked, and there were no signs of his store, let alone himself.
Even if both sides perished together.
There were no signs or information from any third party.
After watching, Yuzuki sighed, "Makahadoma is really powerful, almost like a rule-based power."
Freezing time and space was strong because it was invincible against weaker opponents.
Because only creatures of equal strength could react within Makahadoma, most people could not withstand this ability.
This meant that when two sides faced each other, one side would die without knowing how they died.
Even being able to feel it would be extraordinary.
Seeing that it had nothing to do with him.
Yuzuki confidently scrolled and began exploring videos of girls from Shibuya, Tokyo.
"Hmm, this big data really pleases me."
Until three in the afternoon.
The sound of footsteps was heard not far away.
Yuzuki turned and saw Kirishima Touka from yesterday, now walking closer with a bag slung over her shoulder.
Seeing Yuzuki lying on the porch, she was surprised, then raised her hand to greet him.
"Good afternoon, Yuzuki-san."
"Hmm, good afternoon." Yuzuki nodded, then looked at the clock and reminded her, "The store's operating hours start at 6 PM."
"Oh, is that so?" Kirishima Touka was stunned, not knowing what to say.
All the planned conversations were forgotten at that moment.
"Alright... alright, then I'll come back later."
Kirishima Touka turned and left.
Yuzuki watched her figure walk away.
"Wait a minute."
"Huh?"
Kirishima Touka turned back.
Yuzuki got up and returned, soon coming back with a glass of ice and 70% sweet lemon tea.
Then he handed it to Kirishima Touka.
"Thank you for waiting for the store to open."
"Ah! Thank you!" Kirishima Touka immediately took the cup, but then noticed that it was a glass cup: "This cup..."
Yuzuki waved his hand, "Anyway, you'll come back later, right? If so, you can return it to me."
Kirishima Touka found that reasonable.
So she thanked him again and took the lemon tea back to Anteiku Coffee Shop.
All the way.
Kirishima Touka walked faster while staring at the lemon tea in her hand.
When she arrived at the shop, she pushed the door open with a jingling sound.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, she quickly bit the straw and sipped her drink.
As the lemon tea entered her mouth.
Even a slight bitter taste made her blink slowly.
Then her eyes sparkled.
"It's so good!"
More importantly, the food made by that young shop owner was truly edible for Ghouls!
