Echo Reincarnation Journey Through Multiverse - Chapter 37

Touka POV

After we separated from Yomo-san, me along with Kuro and Shiro go search for Kaneki. On the way Shiro suddenly go and attack a group of ghouls from Aogiri tree then interograte them.

From them, we know that Kaneki was in captivity of Yamori inside a dome-like structure behind this building. The twins know about Yamori cruelty and likes of torture, hurry me up to go save Kaneki.

On the way there we got an attack from an Ukaku kagune, I know this attack too well since I also have the same kagune as this. My brother, Kirishima Ayato.

Ayato:” Yo, Baka aneki! Still playing friend with human I see.” I heard Ayato voice and he jumps from atop building and land in front of us.

Touka:” Ayato, you stupid brother! Where the hell have you been up till now?” I asked him, a little angry because he left.

Ayato:” I’ve been around. Unlike you, I was searching for power so that I am not as weak as our father and to show to humans that we ghouls were stronger than them.”

Touka:” You!! Don’t bring dad in this. He was doing it to feed us.”

Ayato:” and he died for it! Because he was weak and I for one, don’t want to die like him.”

Touka:” Kuro, Shiro, you two go ahead and save Kaneki. I got unfinished business with this brat.”

Kurona:” Okay, just give him a beating he deserves.”

Shirona:” Well then, we will go first Touka-chan.” After that, they left for the dome-like building to save Kaneki.

Third POV

Touka and Ayato loot at each other, suddenly Touka disappears from her place and then she appears again in front of Ayato. With her sword at ready.

Touka:” Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu, Soryusen!”

After using Soru, Touka attack Ayato with her sword. Using a quick draw technique from Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu, Soryusen. Ayato was caught off guard, resulting in him being cut right on his ċhėst. But, Touka going easy on him so that he didn’t get a permanent injury.

Ayato regains his bearing and jumps back to distance himself from Touka, only for her to shot him with her Kagune. Ayato who was in the middle of jumping back got propelled further by the force of Touka attack and hit the wall on his back.

Touka follows after him as he falls down from the wall. She hit him with more force at the back of his head, making him faint from it.

Touka gets Ayato on her shoulder and was about to go after the twins. But, they are already back. Along with Kaneki whose hair now white from the torture got from Yamori on Shiro’s shoulder fainting.

After they left Touka to beat her brother up, Kuro and Shiro go to the dome building as fast as they can.

When they arrived at the building, the first thing they got to see was Kaneki who was chained to a chair with Yamori in front of him with his back facing Kaneki.

Kaneki hair which is black suddenly turned white. He then breaks free from his chain and attacks Yamori with it, trying to suffocate him. Yamori in retaliation uses his Kagune to attack Kaneki which he dodged by jumping up using Yamori shoulder as a springboard. He even gets to bite his ear when he jumps.

Kaneki:” Ptui, You really taste disgusting. What did you eat, to make such a disgusting taste?” he asks, then he cracks his finger.

Yamori who got himself eaten was angry and shout at Kaneki. Saying that he will devour him. Kaneki then move so fast and hit Yamori on his stomach with his knees shouting him up. He then kick Yamori on his head, only for him to caught his feet. Kaneki rotated his body, breaking his leg then kick Yamori again with his other leg.

Yamori who lost control in anger attack him with his Kagune like a wild beast. Kaneki dodges all his attack then use his own Kagune to strike back. Kaneki who was at an advantage, easily beat Yamori to the ground. Then, his instinct takes over and Kaneki was about to eat Yamori Kakuhou.

Kuro and Shiro seeing this know that Kaneki was about to do something that he will regret later. So, they moved fast and hold him back. Stopping him from doing the taboo.

Kaneki:” Nashiro-senpai, Kurona-senpai, H-he, He killed them. Haru-san, Shuu-san, it’s my fault! Because I am weak. They are killed because of me. Because I am weak! Everything is my fault. Hiks” Kaneki seeing a familiar face who has saved him before, start to cry. Repeating his word again and again like a broken machine.

They then left the place to meet with Touka. But, before that. Kuro summoned her scythe then kills Yamori who was still alive.

Kuro:” hmph, That what you get for doing this to our Kouhai.” she said then left his corpse which later will be found by Juuzo who will make a Quinque from his Kakuhou.

—

Touka:” What happens to him? His hair is all white.”

Shiro:” He was tortured by Yamori and was forced to watch someone that helps him here get killed in front of him. As for his hair, I don’t know how it change color as we watch it change from black to white.”

Kuro:” I know why is that. That is Marie Antoinette syndrome, it a condition of a hair turned white from to much stress. I thought it was a myth but it happens to Kaneki. His torture must have been unimaginable if it makes his hair turned white instantly.”

Touka:” I see. Let’s leave this place. I don’t want to stay here any longer. I got a bad feeling here.”

Kuro:” Yeah, let’s go. I’ll take lead since both of you have them on your shoulder.”

After that, they left too the rendezvous place that already been decided before they got here.

Yomo and the other got the easiest place to go. Even though they met with Noro from Aogiri on the way. He never bothers with them so they can leave without a fight.

At the jail they met with Banjou group and got them out then left the place.

They arrived at the rendezvous place. Banjou find Kaneki asked if he was alright. Kurona then explains to him about what happened to Kaneki also what is the fate of Haru and Shuu who was with Kaneki at that time.

They lamented the death of their comrades. They also pity Kaneki who has to go through that.

They thought that it was good that Yamori already dies now. This way, there won’t be another victim of his torture.

Five minutes later Ayato wakes up and tried to run away. Only to be subdued by Touka, she then tied him up since he can’t be reason. She will let Echo talk to him later, he can be convincing at talking at others. How else he can get many followers if not because of this.

Another three minutes it was Kaneki times that got up. He looks at the other than sit himself up and watches the building where he stayed overnight with a blank look. Yomo then sits next to him. They stay silent for a while until Kaneki starts to talk.

Kaneki:” Yomo-san, how can I become stronger than now? I don’t want to lose someone again.”

Yomo:” Sigh, if you want to get stronger faster. Then go to Echo, he can make even the most untalented to become a strong fighter. Look at the ghouls that live at his place. They are all strong at A to SSS class level, when in reality it was impossible to have all of them to reach that level. Look at Aogiri, they have many members. But, if you count they only have about ten members at A rank upward while the others are only at B or C rank many of them even can’t summon their own Kagune.”

Kaneki:” So, Echo-san organization was that strong? How did he do that?”

Yomo:” All I can say is he is a genius in creating something that can help with training someone. What more his family is a Yakuza and their force is even stronger than his ghoul’s division since he cultivates them longer. He only starts to recruit ghouls two years ago and in those two years, he makes them this strong. So, if you want to be strong the best bet was going to him.”

While they are talking to each other Ayato has also heard their conversation. He also wants to meet with this Echo person to get strength. All that talk he was saying at Touka, in the end, he wants to get stronger in order to protect her, his only family left. He was just an awkward person that can’t be honest with his feeling. What he didn’t know is that Echo was his own sister boyfriend and his brother in law to be.

They wait for Echo and Yoshimura to arrive. But, suddenly the building where they just been in exploded. Destroying it and killing all the CCG members that were inside it while the ghouls except for canon fooder the other was already evacuated. A few minutes later the see two shadows of Echo and Yoshimura.

When they look at Echo, he seems to be happy as he greets them.
