While Kaneki Ken and Yoshimura Eiri were discussing, Touka Kirishima brought over the coffees they ordered.
"Please enjoy," Touka said, showing no interest in their conversation about dates. After delivering the coffees, she didn't linger and turned to leave.
" Touka-chan, can I get your contact information?" Eiri Nishimiya took the opportunity to stop her and asked very directly for her contact details.
With such an obvious hint, Touka Kirishima could naturally guess what Nishimiya meant. She refused straightforwardly, saying, "Sorry, I have a boyfriend!"
But this was just Touka Kirishima's excuse; in reality, she didn't have a boyfriend.
This response naturally disappointed Nishimiya, but he already understood her meaning clearly, so he had to give up and said, "Sorry! I'll bother you then."
"No problem," Touka Kirishima replied casually, smiling as she left.
Meanwhile, Ryuji, who had just finished using the restroom and came downstairs, quickly bumped into a female customer entering through the shop door.
The girl, dressed in a Western-style dress, looked very young—probably about Touka Kirishima's age—with purple hair, glasses, and a very beautiful, feminine appearance. Especially her chest was much more developed than Touka's.
"Rei Shindai!" Ryuji instinctively called out her name upon seeing her. It was because he had met her that Kaneki Ken was transplanted with her, ultimately turning from a human into a Ghoul.
The system had no response, clearly indicating there was no task related to Rei Shindai that he needed to complete.
However, in reality, Ryuji didn't actually call out her name aloud. If he had, it might have attracted her attention.
Rei Shindai soon noticed Ryuji standing not far from her. Curious about the unfamiliar face, she turned her head toward him and asked, "Are you a new employee here?"
Hearing this, Ryuji finally recovered and immediately responded with the proper service attitude, "Yes! Welcome to the Antique Coffee Shop! Please come inside!"
He then made a welcoming gesture. Rei Shindai didn't talk much with Ryuji and simply continued walking into the shop. But she already saw that Ryuji was also a Ghoul.
At this moment, Ryuji took out a sticky note and pen from his chest pocket, then followed behind Rei Shindai.
Meanwhile, Kaneki Ken's gaze was entirely fixed on Rei Shindai upon her arrival. His world suddenly shrank to just her; he even had the impulse to rush over.
All the other male customers in the shop kept staring at Rei Shindai. When Nishimiya saw Kaneki Ken's reaction, he immediately turned his head to look behind him.
After seeing Rei Shindai's appearance, Nishimiya quickly turned his head away and didn't linger on her for long.
His expression was very indifferent, not because she wasn't attractive, but because Nishimiya thought girls like Rei Shindai were too unrealistic.
"Forget it, Kaneki! You and she are from two completely different worlds!" Eiri Nishimiya shook his head, crossing his arms in front of his chest, with an expression that clearly didn't believe in Kaneki Ken and Rei Shindai's relationship.
