"So this is your reason for bringing that woman here?"
Looking at Minami Uruka moving in next door, Yoshimura Eto immediately put on a pair of annoyed dead fish eyes.
Since their rest period had already ended, Mado Akira and Ihei Byakuya had also been transferred out of Ward 13.
They were now transferred to Ward 19, and for the time being there was no clear mission.
The reason they were transferred here was that Ward 19 had not been peaceful recently.
"Ihei-kun, Eto-chan, good morning."
Minami Uruka moved in early in the morning.
"Good morning."
Ihei Byakuya responded.
Although Yoshimura Eto was not very willing in her heart, she still followed Byakuya and responded as well.
"Have you already found a new school?"
Ihei Byakuya asked.
"Mm. Thanks to Ihei-kun, I have already found a school here in Ward 19."
Minami Uruka said with a smile.
"Thanks to me? But I did not do anything..."
Ihei Byakuya felt slightly puzzled.
"Because it was the CCG that helped me, so I think it must be because of Ihei-kun."
Minami Uruka said.
"All right..."
Ihei Byakuya laughed, thinking that it was probably Bureau Director Washuu Yoshitoki who had taken extra care of Minami Uruka.
"Then please take care of me from now on."
Minami Uruka said rather formally.
...
Ward 19, CCG Branch.
In the morning, Ihei Byakuya came to clock in for work as usual.
When there was no mission being carried out, most of the time ghoul investigators simply sat in the office. Ihei Byakuya and Mado Akira were no exception.
At this time they were studying the situation of this area based on existing intelligence.
"Originally, Ward 19 was considered a relatively well-behaved area. Although predation incidents occurred, it could be seen that that group of ghouls was very restrained."
Mado Akira analyzed. "Until in the past few months, a very dangerous guy suddenly appeared and successively attacked several ghoul investigators. Even if the attacked investigators did not die, they were seriously injured, and up to now they are all still lying in the hospital."
"That dangerous guy, is he S-rated...?"
Ihei Byakuya asked.
"Yes. His danger rating has already reached S-rate. He's a Koukaku-type ghoul. Because his Koukaku is thick and heavy, and its surface looks like ice crystals, the CCG has named him [Ice Devourer]. His close-combat ability is very strong, and he is a very troublesome extermination target."
Mado Akira continued, "I remember that when you exterminated [Jason] before, he was a Rinkaku-type ghoul. Rinkaku happens to counter Koukaku. When your new Quinque is finished being manufactured, we will formally begin the extermination of [Ice Devourer]."
"Understood."
Ihei Byakuya nodded.
Not long after...
The A-rate Rinkaku-type Quinque made from [Jason]'s Kakuhou was completed. Before manufacturing began, Ihei Byakuya had already put forward his request. He preferred sword-type or blade-type Quinques.
Because in the original work, after Yamori was killed, he was made into a scythe-shaped Quinque, which was the one in Suzuya Juuzou's hands.
Byakuya did not really want to wield a scythe, and the shape of a scythe weapon did not seem very compatible with the ability of the Gura Gura Fruit either.
Fortunately, the CCG experimental building listened to his request and made it into a long blade-shaped Quinque for him.
Not only that, the Kakuhou of [Barber] was also being prepared for Quinque manufacturing.
