Chapter 3: Going home late

Y/N = your name

During the weekend...

"(Y/N)....(Y/N)....wake up....wake up" sakura nudged me as i slowly regained consciousness.

"Oh i fell asleep...what time is it?" I asked while stretching my arms.

"It's already 9pm, our closing time. How can you fall asleep while reading a book in public?" She asked while fixing my hair.

"Uhm...because this place is so calming. I feel so comfortable reading here...haha" i said sheepishly.

"Too bad, Rize drop by awhile ago and said that you have cute sleeping face like a puppy...haha" She laughed.

"What! She saw me??? Did i drool or snored?" I asked awkwardly.

"I was busy, so maybe...she compared you to a puppy after all". She said teasingly.

"Nooo, my image..."

"Haha, oh (Y/N)" sakura pats my head.

"Sakura, I should be going home now" i said.

"It's already late and its dangerous to be alone at this time. You should sleep here, we can have a sleepover in my room upstairs." She said seriously.

"No...no, i need to do something tomorrow early morning." I declined.

"But! People are going missing everyday even investigators! Seems like a powerful ghoul is lurking around here." She said worriedly.

"Don't worry, i run pretty fast and i also know some self defense. My appointment tomorrow morning is also important...so..." I said while getting ready to leave.

"...Ok...just be alert and prepare your phone so that you can call the emergency hotline immediately."

"I will...bye" i waived.

"Bye, take care" she waived back.

Sakura is such a worrywart, well she doesn't know i am also ghoul, to be precised half ghoul. My mother is a human while my father is a ghoul. I am an orphan now though...

I am also actually weaker physically compared to normal ghouls since i don't eat human meat regularly like they do.

My uncle just provides a portion for me since i can eat raw animal meat as alternative. I think i mutated since i'm half and i forced myself to only eat it when i was young. Though i still need to eat human meat at least once a month or i'll get so weak.

Well now there is no longer a problem since there is a popular powderized processed human meat which i can carry

in school and mix with my school lunch to pretend to be human.

This is why i can't have a sleepover with sakura since i need to get my supply of it tomorrow. I will also be joining my uncle in searching for dead humans who killed themselves as well as hunt animals.

"Sigh...time to go home now, i still need to wake up early tomorrow" i said as i started running.
