Chapitre 262: Batta's Story
After A grasshopper named Batta's sudden appearance Kaneki decided to bring her with them on their expedition and now they stopped for a bit to have dinner.
Kaneki: Mmh~ so good, Sachi this Beef Gyudon is so good.
Sachi: hehe~ thanks, but you have to thank Miyu-chan before I left 3 months ago she thought me how to make it.
Kaneki: really? That's great.
Keiko: What does this Miyu-chan actually look like? I'm kinda curious.
Itsuki: same here, you two talk about her a lot.
Natsuki: I'm quite curious too.
Azusa: same here.
Kaneki: sigh~ I really don't like doing this but-
Sachi: here take a look.
Sachi showed a picture of Yuuka from 3 years back although not really.
Natsuki: this is Miyu-chan? I'm honestly surprised, she didn't look the way I expected.
The picture that showed a girl with a Short blue hair, gold yellow eyes and D-cups.
Kaneki: so what did you expect?
Natsuki: I expected her to have long black hair and wears glasses.
Kaneki: ohh.
Sachi: I see. Well, this is Miyu-chan she is the smartest amongst Project Kizuna.
Kaneki: and I'm arguably smarter than her.
Yuuka: well, that's interesting. Anyways what is Batta-chan doing over there?
Everyone looked towards the insect familiars.
Batta: now say Senpai Sen-pai.
Ku-kun: Wata!
Batta: no Sen-pai.
Mo-chan: Mo!
Batta: sigh~ man teaching my kohai's how to speak is really difficult.
Kaneki: Batta.
Batta: I'll be right back you 5 just eat alright?
Ku-kun: Ku!
Mo-chan: Moth!
Miracle: Mira!
Heike: Hei!
Yanma: ya!
Batta: good.
Batta then came to Kaneki and got on top his head.
Batta: what is it Kaneki?
Kaneki: what were you doing with Ku-kun and the others?
Batta: I'm teaching them how to talk.
Sachi: really? Thanks for that.
Batta: you're welcome.
Shino: by the way Batta-chan Kaneki mentioned you disappeared 12 years ago right? Where have you been?
Yuuka: yeah, I get that you would be sad that one of your masters died, sorry for saying that Kaneki.
Kaneki: it's cool.
Yuuka: but why didn't you come back?
Batta: sigh~ well I guess I can tell you kids but first, Can you give me a taste of these food they smell delicious.
Kaneki: here say Ahh.
Batta: ahh.
Kaneki fed a piece of his Beef Gyudon to Batta.
Batta: so good! Alright, now listen closely mostly you Kaneki. It all started 12 years ago.
Flashback*
When Tohru died I was saddened and when I saw Kaneki who witnessed his mother's death right in front of him, I knew I failed to protect their family.
I was given to Tohru and Her husband Atsuo by Tohru's parents Kotarou Satsuma and Shiho Satsuma as their familiar to protect the Higanbana family and because I failed I made a decision to get stronger.
So I left the Higanbana family and trained myself while traveling around Japan. It was honestly very difficult since I had nothing to eat but since I'm a grasshopper I can eat plants though I preferred meat.
I trained for many years though I always thought of going back home but the thoughts of not being strong enough to protect the family scared me and I didn't want to see Kaneki's sad face again so I continued to train.
At some point I wasn't able to eat much and then I passed out I thought I was going to die not being able to see my family again that's until I was saved.
Flashback cut*
Kaneki: I am so sorry I've put you through all that.
Batta: it's alright, my duty is to protect your family so I'll do anything to fulfill that.
Flashback*
When I woke up I actually saw some very familiar faces it was Tohru and Atsuo's friends.
Querxes Preston, Robo Robeca, and Kirin Kodama.
Flashback cut*
Kaneki: wait, what?!
Batta: you know them?
Kaneki: I don't just ''know" them! I'm their student!
Batta: what?! Really?! They didn't tell me! Also why are you their student? They're very powerful people.
Kaneki: I want to get power so I can make the 2 tree's of power grow so I can eat the fruits they bare and bring Mom back to life.
Batta: What! That's dangerous! You should-
Kaneki: you can't stop me Batta I've already gained a lot of power so there's no stopping me.
Batta: fine then, but I'm still gonna protect you Kaneki.
Kaneki: I don't need protection.
Batta: Bu-
Ryueki: hey can you two stop arguing and continue the story?
Batta: shut up I only listen to the Higanbana family or their friends.
Yuuka: You really like the Higanbana family huh?
Batta: of course! Well anyways you can't stop me from protecting you Kaneki so don't even try to stop me.
Kaneki: sigh~ fine.
Batta: alright! Back to the story.
Flashback*
After I met them, they fed me some food then they actually trained me and I continued to do so for a few years though I wouldn't been lying if I said I wasn't lonely.
Despite being very strong now I actually felt really scared that's until I heard about Kaneki from Robeca sensei.
She said.
"Kaneki is leaving Shimotsuki tomorrow find something, we need you to go back to him"
End of flashback*
Batta: When I heard your name I was overjoyed but I was scared but I really wanted to see you so I went back to Shimotsuki and I tried finding you.
Kaneki: I see, so that explains why you hitbmy windshield.
Batta: not really, I actually saw you guys at Shimotsuki when you kids were just leaving. I saw you from the top of a building. I immediately knew I saw Kaneki just by his face. Though he looks like a girl I can definitely tell that the person I see was Kaneki.
Miku: really? Then why didn't you came to us when we were about to leave?
Batta: you all immediately left when I was close by! I had catch a bullet train just to catch up with you.
Chikao: oh poor thing.
Kaneki: ohh, sorry but why didn't you call?
Batta: how can I call you exactly when you're far away?
Natsuki: so, the only way you could think on how to get Higanbana-kun's attention was.
Batta: yup, by flying towards his windshield. It was very worth it though.
Kaneki: yeah, sorry about that.
Batta: anyways that's the story I guess.
Azusa: I see, it must've been hard right?
Batta: yeah it was, but I'm just happy to see my family again.
Kaneki: I'll introduce you to my step-sister when we get home.
Batta: cool!
Kaneki: and I'll tell dad on what you've been up to.
Batta: !!!
Kaneki: anyways, let's finish up dinner we still have a long trip ahead of us.
Everyone: okay.
Everyone then focused on eating and after they were done they cleaned the bento boxes and went back inside the van.
Kaneki: okay, everyone you can go to sleep now.
Yuuka: are you sure you don't want to switch drivers?
Kaneki: do any of you have any drivers license?
No one responded.
Kaneki: well then, rest up everyone. Goodnight.
Sachi: Goodnight everyone.
Everyone: goodnight.
Everyone besides Kaneki closed their eyes and started to sleep.
Kaneki: alright time to go.
Batta: focus alright?
Kaneki: I know.
Kaneki then started driving.
Yuuka's thoughts*
(Tomorrow we'll probably be near Hokkaido tomorrow should be a great time to get the flowers we need I should get them with Kaneki.)
With the Relic team heading close to Hokkaido will they get there in time?
In an unknown location*
???: sir, we've found him! The one who killed 19 of our men 12 years go.
???: really? Where is he?
???: he's going to the same place as our troops they're trying to find the Crown of Urizen.

???: yessir! I'll command our troops!
