Rite of passage (1)

July 23, 2042

After what happened in the previous day Kaneki wanted to start preparing himself for the rite of passage but.

???: here we need you to get these ingredients.

Kaneki: Okay then, I'll be right back!

Swoosh*

Shino: well there he goes.

Class 1-C is having cooking class. And Kaneki is helping out his group.

Sachi: he'll probably be back soon.

???: so Saki-san, where did you guys went to yesterday after school? Did you guys go to Pres's house?

Sachi: yup, we actually did.

Everyone: seriously?!

Shino: yup, and they're very rich too.

Yuuka: we even got to eat some very expensive food as well.

Itsuki: yeah! The food was so good.

Natsuki: and everyone there was very nice too.

???: ehh? Really?

Natsuki: yup, well one of them didn't made a good first impression for Higanbana-kun though.

Yuta: really?

Miku: yup, it was Pres's mom, she actually chased after Higanbana-kun to give him a hug the moment she saw him.

Everyone: seriously?

Keiko: yeah! She was pretty hot too.

All the guys: seriously!!!

Sachi: and also Kaneki was pretty afraid of her.

Everyone: huh?

Sachi: i rather not explain why, but after dinner we did met someone who Kaneki felt very comfortable with.

???: and who was it?

Yuuka: it was an old lady and turns out she was actually the twin sister of his grandma.

Everyone: seriously?!

Ryueki: yeah, and he even hugged her.

He said in a mocking tone.

???: really? That's so sweet.

???: is this really the same Higanbana we're talking about?

???: he really does have a good side to him huh?

Ryueki's thoughts*

(What?! Seriously?! They were supposed to make fun of him?! A mob character like him doesn't deserve to be praised like that?!)

Well jokes on you thats not how it works.

???: did they talk or something?

Yuuka: they actually did but they told us to keep it a secret so sorry.

Everyone: oh.

And after that they all went back to their cooking class until Kaneki returned.

Meanwhile at the Shirogane mansion*

Yukiya: Dear is everything prepared?

Shiho: yup! All the things for the rite of passage is ready all we need to do now is wait.

Yukiya: good, do you think Kaneki-chan can do this?

Shiho: of course!

Yukiya: good. I wonder who that Banana girl was from yesterday.

Shiho: probably a very close friend since they're on a first name basis.

Yukiya: i see, well I'll be heading to the basement now I'm going to check on hint that was given to us by Yurei-sama.

Shiho: okay!

After having their small chat Yukiya went to the basement.

Lunch break*

After cooking class Kaneki, Sachi, Chikao and Natsuki went to their usual spot to eat Lunch and to also discuss about the rite of passage.

Natsuki: what do you guys think the rite of passage will be?

Chikao & Kaneki: either trial by Battle or just making a weapon.

Sachi: well knowing that you made the liberator you probably can definitely make a weapon.

Natsuki: but what weapon will you make.

Kaneki: I'll handle it and also after school I'll be finishing the clean up at the Kodama mansion.

Sachi: um okay... Kaneki are you sure you want to do this rite of passage?

Kaneki: yup, i want to get that crown for Miyu-chan.

Natsuki: you really want to get that crown huh?

Kaneki: yup!

Natsuki: well do your best we'll cheer you on.

Chikao: yeah, we definitely will!

Sachi: yup! And after you win the rite of passage I'll make you pudding cakes tomorrow.

Kaneki: !!! I'm motivated now!

All 3: hehehe~ you really like pudding huh?

Kaneki: of course!

With Kaneki motivated he's prepared to do the rite of passage.
