(P.O.V THIRD PERSON

*DING*

[You have a new notification]

A voice sounds in your head

Waving his head already knowing what young Kaneki is, he takes his cell phone and checks it.

On the screen he sees several notifications from Mirai Sasaki, his 'guardian'.

Quickly he then writes a message and sends it to his contact.

Having finished he puts his cell phone back where it was and continues his walk.

Looking around he can see vehicles and paramedics as well as people related to media and information all frantic.

Easily leaving the place and avoiding any kind of attention he leaves as if he was walking through a park.

Kaneki has been in this city for years and he knows everything as if it were the palm of his hand, in the literal sense if he had to draw he would make all the streets and information as if they were the fingerprints of his hand.

In this sense his brain is scary, processing information like a computer and depositing itself in the cloud never overloading itself. (1)

Waving to some people who know him he walks to his house.

Where a long conversation awaits him.

-----------

Arriving at Mirai's office he watches for a moment before entering.

Since his guardian started with the office he met several heroes that became an everyday life.

But few really approached him.

All feared him for not having empathy, his face always without emotion, eyes that pierce his soul make them feel strange.

Those few who talked to the young man with white hair felt they were being read.

What was partially true Kaneki was reviewing his body languages.

Expressions, gestures, rhythm of breathing and heartbeats thus categorizing into possible enemies or not.

Because of all this people felt they were in an interrogation and felt a pressure that even investigators and policemen did not have, the feeling of a true executioner.

-----

Entering the Kaneki site he continued to walk without caring about all the Heroes and office staff who looked at him because he had blood staining a part of his clothes.

Entering the main hall where he assumed Mirai was he observed the place.

"He raised his voice to the people who were in the room.

"Welcome back Young master" A male voice answered him back.

The owner of the voice was 'Juzo Moashi' a Pro Hero known as 'Centipeder'.

Meanwhile two figures were startled by the sudden invasion of the gray-haired young man.

"Ah you came back Kaneki-Kun" a surprised voice shouted when it saw him and moments later as if it saw a ray of hope rushed towards him and clung to his back.

"You've arrived" came a calm masculine and serious voice.

The owner of the voice was a tall man wearing an office suit and set his glasses with a serious countenance.

Kaneki in turn just faced him with his lifeless eyes.

"You're doing it again" Even with his emotionless voice he could feel that he was accusing.

"It's not my fault" Mirai defended herself

"You can't force someone to do that, it's considered a crime" Kaneki didn't care about his opinion and threw it all away.

"He stuck me in the wall and forced himself on me while he was using that obscene object on my body" The girl who was stuck on his body answered

"It's just a shame" Mirai shouted with that false accusation.

"Help me Kaneki-Kun" The girl begged her Savior.

"Guilty!" Kaneki like a good executioner gave his sentence.

"Gluu" Mirai felt as if she was losing her body strength and felt lifeless.

The saved heroine rewarded her Savior with thousands of kisses on her face.

And that story came to an end.

------

In the middle of the room sitting on double sofas were four people facing each other.

"Sir Nighteye spoke as he looked at the white-haired young man in front of him who wiped the blood stains with a cloth.

"Yes, there was a little something unforeseen when I was training" Kaneki spoke usually ignoring the fact that his face was with dozens of kiss marks.

"And what reason did this 'unforeseen' lead him to get into a fight of two heroes against a villain Rank A?" Sir Nighteye asked with a raised eyebrow.

"The duo was in a precarious state so I decided to help" Kaneki answered without hesitation.

"Both heroes were highly qualified and prepared for it" Sir Nighteye answered before the young man interrupted him.

"They were going to die!" Kaneki affirmed by making the Hero's eyes go out in front of him.

"The heroine was already in an unconscious state and the Hero was already seriously wounded just standing with his willpower" Kaneki spoke the facts.

Sir Nighteye sighed with this the investigator just spoke some information about, when even they didn't know much yet waiting for the report of the Hero duo.

"Tell me the details" The Hero asked

"The villain was beyond his rank"

Hearing this Sir Nighteye's eyebrows frowned but continued to listen.

"The villain was very strong physically and was much stronger than the information about him indicated, but that wasn't the main problem his broken mentality in which he wouldn't hesitate to kill innocents".

*With a sigh Sir Nighteye felt his happiness coming out.

"These Ranks are quite useless" Kaneki finished

The ranks are categorized primarily in how influential and dangerous the villains were to society and not necessarily their forces.

Kaneki believes they should categorize into two Ranks between forces and dangers, this current system is nothing more than a Hall of fame for the villains.

Kaoruko Awata or his name as 'Bubble Girl' Hero feeling the low atmosphere decided to speak.

"The important thing is that you are well Kaneki-Kun" She spoke in a happy voice while hugging the young man

"That's right Young Master, you don't know how we were worried" Centipeder gathered to help

With the two speaking and taking away the tense atmosphere Sir Nighteye finally recovered.

"Yes, welcome back," he said with a little smile on his face.

"Hun" Kaneki nodded

Although they are all unrelated to blood and have no kinship and even a bunch of strangers, to something that everyone cannot deny.

They are a family and that is what matters.

The tender atmosphere was broken again with a scream.

"KEEEEEEEEN-KUUUUUUN" A scream is heard by everyone and a blue ray crosses the room.

For the second time today the gray-haired young man is grabbed.

"Hehehehe" A happy sound is heard from the person who clings to him while caressing his cheek with his face.

(1) I remember Toaru's Loli Index that has several 'books' in its mind and has to redefine every time a time that your memories start to occupy a lot of space, which is something sinister taking into account that our brain if placed would be around 2.5 petabytes/1 million GB and it seems that it could be 10 times more, which of course would take more than 300 /500 years to occupy all that)

(2)As many may have already noticed the Kaneki of this story has "Alexithymia" which is the lack or absence of feelings, basically poor empathy, distant and cold and with that you should know that it is kind of hard to write a story with Mc like this, basically I am using a reference, like Tatsuya Shiba (Mahouka Koukou), Ayanokoji Kiyotaka (You jitsu) to have a good base, so Kaneki will be the rational type and will see most people as "enemy" and "Not enemy".
