Before him were two delicate, pure, and beautiful faces. Worth noting, the two faces were almost identical. The only difference was hair color — one had white hair, the other black.
"My name is Kurona Yasuhisa, and this is my sister, Nashiro Yasuhisa" Kurona spoke, her eyes sparkling. Beside her, Nashiro nodded gently, looking a little shy.
"Uh… hello" Hayashi nodded, a flicker of memory crossing his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, Kurona and Nashiro were twin sisters — the kind of dazzlingly beautiful twins often seen in films. Seeing these pure and adorable twins now, he couldn't help but recall their tragic past.
In fact, Kurona and Nashiro had originally been investigators before Kanou transformed them into ghouls. During a battle with Suzuya, Nashiro's kagune was over seventy percent destroyed, leaving her near death. When they sought help from Kanou, he did nothing. With no other option, Kurona absorbed Nashiro, merging her into Kurona's abdomen, where Nashiro's face grotesquely appeared.
In the end, Nashiro died later, leaving only Kurona alive.
Thinking of this, Hayashi felt a surge of displeasure. Kanou was truly inhumane — turning such beautiful twins into this monstrous form.There were countless ways to make use of their beauty, yet he chose the most grotesque. Even though his research later had some value, that didn't stop Hayashi from despising him.
"Actually… ever since we heard about your deeds, we've admired you greatly." Kurona and Nashiro lowered their heads slightly, their delicate faces carrying a shy innocence. They looked pure and lovely, like white lotuses, evoking a protective fondness.
"Thank you. It's just the duty of an investigator — protecting the people is my responsibility." Hayashi nodded, looking righteous and heroic.In truth, his mouth twitched, almost revealing his inner amusement.
"So… what brings you to me?" Snapping back to reality, Hayashi's eyes carried a trace of confusion.These twins wouldn't just come to fangirl over him, would they?
"We're new to the CCG and know nothing about this place"
"so we hoped you could be our teacher, guiding and leading us."
After a brief hesitation, Kurona and Nashiro looked up in unison, their exquisite faces showing a hint of pleading. They knew they were just rank 3 investigators, just ordinary rookies. Hayashi, however, had jumped from rank 3 directly to first class — a legendary figure who had driven off two S-rated ghouls alone. The probability of him personally guiding two ordinary newcomers was almost nil.
Yet their beautiful eyes still shimmered with hope.After all, he was the idol they had admired and looked up to.
"I have no objections. If you're willing, I'll teach you." Without much thought, Hayashi nodded. Having crossed over and gained power, he couldn't allow tragedy to repeat. He couldn't just stand by while Kanou ruined them again. With his strength, he could change the outcomes he wanted.
"Really? That's amazing~" Kurona and Nashiro's faces instantly lit up with joy. Women are naturally drawn to strength, and to these twins, Hayashi was strength. Being his students and subordinates was thrilling.
"Investigator Hayashi, if you accept us as your subordinates,we will do anything for you. We will support you to the utmost~" Their delicate faces flushed slightly with excitement.
"Alright, I'll tell Mr. Marude tomorrow." Hayashi gently rubbed their soft heads, his voice tender.
"For today, go home. Tomorrow, I'll introduce you to the others."
Feeling the soft touch and gentle voice above, Kurona and Nashiro closed their eyes, comforted.
"Don't worry… I'll help you seize that wonderful future. I won't let you down…" Hayashi whispered with a faint smile.
After leaving the meeting room, Hayashi rounded a corner and saw Suzuya waiting at the door.
"Senpai, you're so slow~" Seeing Hayashi, Suzuya bounced over happily.
"Eh~ Kurona? Nashiro? You're here too?" Suzuya's eyes widened slightly at the sight of the twins.
"You know each other?" Hayashi glanced at the three. If he remembered correctly, they were from the same cohort.
"Yes, we're classmates~" Suzuya nodded slightly, squinting in acknowledgment.
"That makes things easier. Starting tomorrow, Kurona and Nashiro will be your colleagues. You'll work together." Hayashi nodded, casually commenting. Knowing each other simplified introductions.
"Suzuya~" Kurona and Nashiro nodded politely, looking very composed.
"Kurona, Nashiro, Suzuya is my junior whom I've mentored. You can start by getting to know him, details I'll explain tomorrow." Hayashi rubbed their heads again, gently.
"Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious~" Suzuya put his arms around both their shoulders.
Watching them walk ahead, Hayashi felt a sense of satisfaction. In the anime, Nashiro had been killed by Suzuya — their original feud ran deep. Seeing them together so harmoniously now was a joy.
Feeling content, Hayashi finished work and returned home.
Upon entering the living room, he immediately sensed something was off.
Gulp…Smelling a faint fragrance in the air, he swallowed nervously. Something was wrong.
But before he could react, it was too late.
"Hayashi… you're back?" The bathroom door opened, steam spilling out. Smooth, pale, long legs stepped onto the floor. Wrapped in a towel, Rize stepped out, her purple hair still dripping.
"You humans at the CCG are busy… coming home so late~" She smiled, her exquisite, noble face flushed slightly. Her skin glowed lightly from the bath, soft and inviting — like a ripe, tempting peach.
"I've had a long day, and I'm exhausted." Hayashi swallowed, instinctively stepping back.
"You've worked hard all day~" Rize's lips curved in a faint smile. Her beautiful feet advanced closer, and the faint scent in the air grew stronger.
Stopping in front of him, Rize's slender, pale fingers lifted Hayashi's chin.
"Before resting…do you want to have dinner first, or… first have me…"
