03x08 - TAKe: One Who Writhes

[bunniefuu]

Shu...

Master Mirumo, I have news.

Master Shu is taking in food indiscriminately,

and does not appear to be in control of his kagune.

If this continues, I fear Master Shu will...

...come apart?

Yes.

Master Mirumo?

I beg your pardon. I'm completely losing my composure.

Master Shu...

Hey there, are you Kanae von Rosewald?

I'm Shu Tsukiyama. I heard we had taken on a new servant.

Have you settled in with the Tsukiyama family yet?

Yeah...

Rosewald... "rose forest." Come with me, little boy.

I'll show you a real forest of roses.

Look there.

The duftwolke, a noble German rose.

Kanae, we are distant brothers, sharing the same blood.

Now, stop crying here by yourself. Bear up and live proudly, and beautifully,

such that you rival this rose.

That is the duty of members of the Tsukiyama family.

Kanae!

I-It's Master Shu!

Master Shu!

Forgive me...

...for using my kagune!

Who do you think I am?!

I am a gourmet!

Hurry and bring me the ultimate epicurean delight! Sate my taste buds!

The inhibitor!

Master Shu!

Kanae...

Why are you here?

While you were sleeping, I was tidying up the room.

You were?

Thanks.

I'm sorry you have to see me like this.

Don't be... ridiculous...

Keep on looking after... the Tsukiyama family...

...for me...

Right.

Hass! Hass! Hass!

Hass! H-Hass...

Hass! Hass! Hass!

Right now, I even hate...

...my sense of loyalty...

Hey.

I want... to be... pretty...

I want to be pretty!

"TAKe: One Who Writhes"

Impossible. Cochlea will not fall again. How many times must you ask?

Aogiri needs Hinami's abilities.

Ayato, since when were you one of my aides?

This is not something for you to involve yourself in.

What's so funny, Takizawa?

The sight of ghouls caring about each other is so kooky,

while eating cookies is tasty, and so much fun...

--What did you say? --Don't.

You and Fueguchi were the ones who acted on your own, weren't you?

We can always enlist a replacement for her.

Tatara...

Yamori, the Bin Brothers, and all the others who are gone...

Is Aogiri nothing but a bunch of interchangeable pawns to you?

That's right. And stray dogs should act like stray dogs.

So that's...

Isn't it great?

You almost never get to see a natural chimera quinque.

What's the matter, Shira-gin? Why don't you open it up?

I want to be... pretty...

Shirazu!

A-Are you all right?

There are quite a few people who get queasy from their quinques.

Especially when they first come across a quinque

made from a ghoul that they dispatched themselves.

That's not what it is. I'm fine.

Listen, Mr. Sass,

my bounty for bringing down Nutcracker... was . million.

Is that a lot?

I'm not sure.

If you're going to blubber about it, then quit!

I'm sick of seeing you cry, you damn brat!

What's so funny?

I'm sorry. It's just...

...when you're mad, your face looks just like Big Sister Touka.

It calmed me down.

Hinami...

Thanks for the tip.

Not at all.

Oh, right. Here.

Thanks for always doing this... Big Brother.

I am me; you are you.

"'Thorns, part ' by Juntaro Yamakawa" Whenever I felt down,

"'Thorns, part ' by Juntaro Yamakawa" you always used to bring me books like this.

Even now, I'm not sure how to treat you.

I figure there are probably a lot of us who are like that.

Everyone really liked you a lot, Big Brother.

I'm sorry... but I can't be Kaneki.

I'll be by again later.

Why am I taking the side of a ghoul? When the time comes, she'll be...

Do I want to save her?

Who... am I?

Oh, I'm sorry. I, um, wasn't trying to hide, or anything...

So this is where you were off goofing around, Furuta.

Well, well. My name is Kijima.

I'm Haise Sasaki.

Yes, I know.

Huh?

I think we may be working together on this Rose case.

When we do, I hope you will go easy on me.

Well, if you will excuse us. Let's be off, Furuta.

Excuse me.

You little mouse. Why are you so particular about Master Shu?

Tsukiyama is so much fun, right? Maybe that's why.

Tell me, little mouse, how do you think you can help Master Shu?

Here.

Are you Chie Hori?

You're under suspicion of aiding and abetting ghoul predation.

We'll have to take you to the central office and--

Hold it!

Tsukiyama, I may not look it,

but I'm terribly afraid of dying.

So at the very least,

I'd like to die during a brief moment when I'm okay with dying.

For that reason, I'd like to always spend my time enjoying myself.

Hey, Saiko, wake up!

First you force me out of bed, then I have to skip breakfast...

That's what happens when you sleep right up to the last minute.

Jeez...

Kori Ui, captain of S Squad, which is leading this operation.

"Kori Ui" "Special Investigator" It is a pleasure to meet you.

"Hairu Ihei" "Senior Investigator"

"Taishi Fura" "Senior Investigator"

Going by how they do not predate on the scene,

and the fact that there have been mass abductions,

we believe that organizationally,

Rose consists of some fairly well-trained ghouls.

Since they leave very little trace,

we will need to pull on a lot of threads for this investigation.

We'll need to come up

with effective ways of investigating outside the box, and quickly.

Effective strategies, huh?

Without any information to go on, either.

Excuse me...

You're the members of Quinx Squad, right?

Y-Yeah, that's right. What's up?

Shirazu, are you feeling tense?

--N-No, I'm not, you idiot! --Yo, "Captain of Love"...

Um, I'm Hairu Ihei, Special Investigator Ui's partner.

As it happens, I'm the same age as the rest of you.

As such, I'd like to make friends with you, as fellow classmates.

The same age?!

--And you're partnered with a special investigator? Awesome! --Strange. There's someone in our class teamed with a special investigator?

Let's go, Senior Investigator Ihei!

--Ah, yes, sir! --Huh?

Senior Investigator Ihei?

She was in Arima's squad, and took part in the Owl Extermination Mission.

She was on the front lines of that battle?

That slow-witted girl?

Investigator Ihei joined during Term . She's three years ahead of us.

Huh, no wonder I don't know her.

Captain... I'm starving...

I've heard there's a delicious bakery over that way. Let's go try it.

Huh? We were just about to start canvassing.

All right. You haven't had breakfast, after all.

Okay, let's go.

Woo-hoo! That smells great!

Oh, those sure look tasty!

Welcome-- huh? Er...

Kuroiwa, is that you?

Friend of yours?

Kosaka...

Here. Enjoy some coffee.

Yeah, thanks.

--This bread is wicked good. --Mm-hmm.

Thank you very much.

So Kuroiwa, you became an investigator?

Yeah.

I guess, since your father's a ghoul investigator, too, huh?

Yeah.

Has Kuroiwa always been like this?

Yes. He doesn't say much, but he's always had presence.

He was an outstanding athlete, after all.

What about you, Kosaka? The bakery?

Mm-hmm. I've always wanted to serve bread at a coffee shop or something.

That sure is nice.

Uh-oh, we'd better be getting back soon.

But then, we don't have anything to report anyway.

We can always report that we located a delicious bakery.

Kosaka...

The bread was good.

Come by again sometime, okay, Kuroiwa?

Whas'sa big idea...?

Damn that shtupid shupervishor...

Furuta, you really are suited for baitfish duty.

I'm not at all pleased to hear that.

Even if they don't leave any traces,

we can at least predict where they're going to strike.

This was a trap?

A wall?

The detachable sort.

Let's go.

You can't leave.

Good evening. Are you open?

Yes, I am.

Amazing.

--Are you looking for anything? --Oh, uh...

I'm here about this.

It was delivered to my place, but it came from this shop, right?

Huh? Yes, I know I sent this out...

That's odd. I wonder if I got the address wrong.

Oh, is that it? By the way... did you send this book together with it?

No, I didn't.

I see. Forgive me. Incidentally, if I might ask...

...your eyes...

Oh, these are tattoos. A needle is inserted in the sclera,

and then ink is injected. It fades away in a few years, though.

O-Oh, yeah?

Sounds painful.

Ah, I'll return the mask to you.

Oh, that's okay. You can have it.

Huh?

It was fate that we should meet like this, after all.

Ah, well, then I accept your kind offer.

Um...

Yes?

Can you create custom-made masks?

Yes.

Quite the performance. In that case...

Wow! Ha, there's more?

That's the same way underground ghouls att*ck.

My hands are all warmed up now.

Who in the world is this girl?

She can dodge, even at this range?

Pretty speedy, eh?

Chief!

Yuma!

Thank you for drawing their attention, Investigator Ihei.

S has the Rose case?

Yeah. Apparently, they've already caught one of them.

Ho...

I am a special investigator, too.

I'd like to put everything I learned in Germany to use against Aogiri Tree.

Under our current chief, we can't hit Aogiri.

Under our current chief...

What you learned in Germany was how to send soldiers to their deaths.

I am terribly sorry, Master Mirumo.

It was because of my ineptitude that this happened.

That's okay, Matsumae.

I'm just glad you're back.

Wh-Where is Yuma?

Aliza...

I'm sorry.

CCG has caught on to what we're doing.

Any further harvests are going to be extremely difficult.

However, if we do nothing, then Master Shu will...

Does it hurt?

It's all right. A little rest, and I'll be fine.

You go ahead and do your own work.

There are photos inside this envelope. Give one to Tsukiyama.

Kanae, help Tsukiyama to do what he wants.

I can already tell. No matter how much I interrogate you,

you probably won't tell me anything.

For that reason, I think I'd like to offer your friends a gift.

Where would you like that to be?

Promise me one thing--

that you'll honor Tsukiyama's wishes at all times.

If you can do that,

give him the photograph.

Kanae...

...this is heartbreaking...

"Tokyo Ghoul:re"

"Next Time"

Are they them?

--There's no way that Kaneki would forget me!

--Are you okay, Torso? --There's no way that Kaneki would forget me!

I'd like to report to you...

--Like a plump little manju bun. --Okay then, next,

--This guy looks for all the world like a ghoul. --give him the second photograph.

--I'm so hungry! --Let's just k*ll him!
