"You're hungry again? " Yoshimura asked with a hint of surprise.
"Well yeah...I used my Kagune a bit at home and I think that might be the reason for my hunger,"Kaneki explained.
"I see. I'll get you a packet wait here," Yoshimura said and went inside. It was already noon and Kaneki's shift was over.
Yoshimura soon came out the door and handed the packet to Kaneki.
"Thank you," Kaneki said and bid his goodbye.
Touka who had come down just a moment ago noticed this encounter. She walked towards Yoshimura and asked, "You're giving him food again?"
"Yes, it seems his body works a bit differently than ours. He said he felt hungry after using his Kagune for a few minutes. It's true that we feel hungry after exertion but with that amount of meat we can still survive for 15 days atleast..." Yoshimura said out in thought.
"So he's basically a liability... shouldn't we dispose off him?" Touka furrowed her brows.
"What liability? He just helped you get 4 additional hours for studying,"Yoshimura said.
"Tch, that's true," Touka said in annoyance.
"He's a good kid. Try to get along with him," Yoshimura said.
"I'll try..." Touka muttered.
...
After devouring the flesh at home Kaneki felt much better. He wanted to try using his Kagune but he stopped himself. He didn't want to get hungry again.
'Hmm should I talk with Hide?' Kaneki thought. He hadn't really talked much with him after coming back from the hospital. They had only exchanged text messages.
Kaneki picked up his phone and called Hide.
"Yo Kaneki! Feeling better?" Hide asked
"Yep, I'm thinking of starting class from tomorrow onwards," Kaneki said.
"That's great! It's so boring to attend these lectures all by myself..." Hide whined and talked about the new happenings in the college.
Kaneki listened and laughed at times when Hide spoke something silly. The call was soon over since Hide was on his way to his part time job after university.
"Sigh what should I do now?..." Kaneki laid back muttered while staring at the ceiling.
A few moments later he put on his sports shoes and went out for a run and some exercise.
