Chapter 171: studying the mural (4)
Back at the mural site in present time*
Yuuka: so... *Nom do you two play games?
Natsuki: hmm? *Gulp yeah I do i really like playing CRASH.
Kaneki: i... Don't actually play games very often.
Natsuki: thats probably why you suck at them.
Kaneki: haha~ very funny.
Natsuki: oh yeah remember this book here? The one my parents gave to me?
Kaneki & Yuuka: yeah? Why?
Natsuki: there's some blank pages, but for some reason I have a weird feeling that these blank pages are important.
Yuuka & Kaneki: did you try using blacklight?
Natsuki: what? Why?
Kaneki: well there might be a chance those pages aren't really blank but written by invisible ink and uv blacklight can show the invisible ink.
Natsuki then made a surprised face.
Natsuki: that's a thing?! I thought invisible ink would turn you invisible!
Kaneki: pffft! Seriously?! Isn't that what happens in anime's decades ago? Why would you think that hahahaha~!
Yuuka: yeah! That's seriously funny Nyahahahaha~!
Natsuki: hehe~ sorry i thought that would be the case.
She was embarrassed.
Kaneki: well, you should probably take that flashlight over there it is a blacklight flashlight so it might help.
Natsuki: thanks! But I'll probably do it after eating *Nom!.
Kaneki: alright then.
10 minutes later*
Kaneki: alright then I'm gonna start to decipher/translate the text on the Mural Mirai-san take pictures of the mural and Natsuki do your own thing.
Natsuki & Yuuka: Okay~.
Kaneki then started to look at the text on the mural and the images too while trying to decipher/translate the text in his mind.
Natsuki: alright here we go~
Natsuki then took the Blacklight flashlight to use it on her book.
Yuuka: Hey Natsuki, you're gonna look at the blank pages now?
Natsuki: yup, you wanna see?
Yuuka: of course! I'm shaking right now!
Yuuka's thoughts*
(Crap I'm getting so excited about potential data about the relic that I can't focus on talking to Kaneki!)
Natsuki: alright!
Natsuki opened the book at the blank pages then began to count down.
Natsuki: 1... 2... 3!
She the turned on the blacklight but.
Natsuki: Huh?! Nothing?!
Yuuka: for real?!
Thud!
Yuuka: N-NATSUKI?!
Natsuki: and here i thought I would find something remotely close to a hint~
Natsuki was really disappointed in herself.
Yuuka: hey it's alright, maybe there isn't something in those black pages but at least you used your brain.
Natsuki was not having it.
Yuuka: Higanbana-kun! Natsuki isn't feeling well!
Kaneki didn't respond.
Yuuka's thoughts*
(Of course, he's completely focused on it I can't bother him even if I wanted to)
Yuuka: why don't you take a seat first.
Natsuki: yeah yeah.
After a few minutes*
Natsuki: sorry for how i acted earlier Yuu-chan!
Yuuka: hey it's alright I get it you were frustrated so you don't need to be hard on yourself.
Natsuki: thanks, but it's great that Kaneki-kun didn't see.
Yuuka: yeah, well he's completely focused on you know what.
Natsuki: yeah, its really impressive to see him putting so much effort to find a powerful relic that he doesn't even want.
Yuuka: well it is for his best friend after all.
Natsuki didn't like her saying that.
Natsuki:: i don't really get it.
Yuuka: you don't get what?
Natsuki: well it doesn't look like he can hear us so I'll tell you a secret that Kaneki-kun told me when we just became friends.
She then told her what happened to Kaneki the way Kaneki described it to her.
Yuuka was in complete horror after hearing everything.
Natsuki: I'm honestly really angry at them even though they knew him for so long they just abandoned him well except for Sachi-chan. Seriously! Because of them Kaneki felt very awkward with Tanaka-san on the camping trip.
Yuuka: what?! Shino-chan?!
Natsuki: well before Kaneki-kun got Demonitis, Kaneki-kun told me Tanaka-san reminded Kaneki of Shita-chan one of the girls who estranged him. You know seeing how sad he looked made me sad too I can tell that he cares a lot about them but, despite him being so kind to them why did they estranged him? I honestly want an answer from them.
Yuuka was shaking knowing very well that she was involved in hurting Kaneki.
Natsuki: honestly even though Shita-chan helped Kaneki-kun in the camping trip why did she just summoned her relic and Kamakura-san? Why didn't she go help Kaneki herself? I don't trust any of those 3 girls I have a bad feeling about them.
Yuuka: I see...
Natsuki: Yuu-chan why are you shaking?!
Yuuka: well after hearing what Kaneki-kun has been through I kinda feel guilty for not talking to him at all if he had a friend in those lonely 3 months he might not be so, you know lifeless.
Natsuki: I get you, Even though Itsuki-san and Keiko-san always talked to him he doesn't know what to consider them as or more accurately he was afraid of becoming their friend.
Yuuka: what? Afraid?
Natsuki: well if you were abandoned by people you care about wouldn't you feel the same?
Yuuka was full of guilt to the point she said something out loud.
Yuuka: ... Its probably worse if you're the reason...
Natsuki: hmm? Did you say something?
Yuuka: Uh! No I didn't say anything!
Natsuki: oh... Okay.
Natsuki's thoughts*
(I thought I heard her say something, well it probably wasn't important)
Kaneki: blood of flower.
Yuuka: what?! Did you say something?!
Natsuki: i think he was able to Decipher/translate one of the text!
Yuuka: amazing.
Natsuki: ... Miyu-chan why did you abandoned your best friend? Didn't you two found many relics together?
Yuuka's thoughts*
(Wait did she figured meout?!)
Yuuka: who are you talking to Natsuki?
Natsuki: oops, sorry I was talking to myself.
Yuuka: do you... Hate his friends?
Yuuka wanted to know if Natsuki those 3 because she thought if she knew about her and the other two being the very 3 girls who abandoned Kaneki would be the worse scenario if she were to finds out their secret.
Natsuki: i... I don't really even know myself.
Yuuka: what?
Natsuki: in the other hand I don't like them but in the other those 3 are very important people to Kaneki-kun.
Yuuka: ...
Natsuki: I don't know how to feel but, if I find them I'll ask them why did they do it to Kaneki and then I'll probably know how i would feel about them.
Yuuka: !!!
Yuuka was surprised to hear that.
Natsuki: if they felt guilty for what they've done I'll forgive them and then I'll probably help them fix their relationship with him but if they don't....
Yuuka: if they don't?
Natsuki: then I'll make sure they don't hurt him again.
Yuuka's thoughts*
(She really does care about him and the way she said she'll help... that...)
Yuuka: Natsuki....
Natsuki looked at Yuuka's face.
Yuuka: well i-
But then.
Natsuki: AAAAAAHHHHH!
Yuuka: huh? What's wrong?
Natsuki: B-B-BEAR!
Yuuka: what?!
Yuuka looked at the direction of Kaneki.
Growl-!
It was a Giant Japanese horn bear
Yuuka: Kaneki-kun!
Kaneki: Blood of flower.
Yuuka's and Natsuki's thoughts*
(He's too focused i-i have to do something!)
With the danger of the Giant Japanese horn bear and Kaneki not noticing. the girls decided to protect Kaneki but how?
