he is kind

After talking about Kaneki and the rumors around him and saying she believes Kaneki has his reasons, Natsuki asked Shino.

Natsuki: do you want to be friends with Higanbana-kun?

Shino: Huh?

Shino didn't expected to hear that from Natsuki.

Shino: why do you ask?

Natsuki: well I'm just curious so I wanted to know if you want to be his friend.

Shino: what if I said yes?

Natsuki: well if your intentions are genuine i would probably help but if your intentions are ill i would tell Higanbana-kun.

Shino: What! why? (What is this feeling? She's scary. Is it because she cares about him?)

Natsuki: well, when the H-O-H-A club was made he told us he was depressed so I'm trying to help out you see?

Shino:!!!

Natsuki: I may not be his friend but I won't let my club mate get hurt.

Shino: I see (she really doesn't want him to get hurt... Is this the right way? Using Mizutani-san? What should I say... This probably isn't a good idea but).

Natsuki: you know I don't really trust you as much i think you'd try to get closer to Itadori-kun by using Higanba-.

Shino: I WOULDN'T DO THAT!

Natsuki:!!!

Natsuki was in shocked upon getting yelled at.

And Shino realized her mistake there.

Shino: sorry that I yelled.

Natsuki: its alright, but why did you yell?

(I should say it this might lower my chances but who cares?)

Shino: I do want to be friends with him why you ask? Well it isn't because he looked lonely, it wasn't because he looked depressed, it was because he looked kind.

Natsuki: kind?

Shino: yes, a few weeks ago I lost a bracelet an old friend gave me to me back when I was a kid.

That said friend was Kaneki.

Shino: I was searching for hours everywhere i couldn't find it then he came with my bracelet.

Natsuki: he did?

Shino: yes, when i inspected it was the one I was finding, and when I asked him why he has it he told me "ive noticed you've been trying to find something and since you didn't had your bracelet on i assumed it was missing so I tried to find it as well"

(I see so Kaneki-kun goes out of his way to help her find her bracelet even though he isn't friends with her. He probably understands something like the bracelet is precious to her like how his sword and gun is precious to him so he helped so she wouldn't lose it)

Shino: so that's why I want to be his friend.

Natsuki: I see, so you want to be his friend because of that?.

Shino: yes, that's also why I want to help him get his Gun back, i understand the pain he is in for losing something precious to him after all.

(This might've lowered my chances but i don't want her to suspect I was one of the people who hurt him.)

Natsuki: i understand, lets find that Gun.

Shino: Eh?

Natsuki: you said you understand his pain right? So lets help relieve his pain by finding the gun.

Shino: yeah... You're right!

Shino expected for her chances to get lower but it seemed like her chances has gone up.

Natsuki's thoughts

(This is great! She genuinely wants to be his friend! Her colors are beautiful and genuine! And she too wants to help him! She's perfect if i make them friends Kaneki would feel less lonely more reason to find his Gun, Kaneki will get a new friend soon I can't wait!!)

Natsuki was clearly very excited to learn of Shino's intentions so she is going to try to get those two close.

Shino's thoughts.

(Did that actually work! It definitely did! Telling that story was risky but it worked! I think my chance has increased! I need to find the Gun now so my chances would get higher!)

Meanwhile*

Kaneki: Grrrr* where is it~! I can't find it!!!!!

Kaneki continued his search for his gun but with no success.

Back at Natsuki and Shino.

BUZZZZ~

???: Yaaa!

Natsuki: HUH! WHAT WAS THAT!

Shino: I don't know- wait isn't that?!

Yanma: YAA~NMA!

Natsuki: Higanbana-kun's Hornet?!
