7.53% Reincarnation Paradise [EDITED] / Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Mascot

章 45: Chapter 45: Mascot

Su Xiao didn't know about this.

Although he guessed that the third part of the main mission was a confrontation, it was only speculation.

Early in the next morning, Su Xiao went to the office of Shinohara Yukinori, who told him that he was needed today.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Shinohara Yukinori stood up and enthusiastically greeted Su Xiao.

Su Xiao was stunned, Shinohara Yukinori's attitude was too bright.

"Not yet."

"Alright then, let's go to a small coffee shop nearby, it's really good! Although the breakfast provided by the branch has balanced nutrition, the taste is…"

Now Su Xiao thought that this person needed his help for something.

"It's my treat." Shinohara Yukinori said.

He was sure of it now.

Su Xiao nodded and followed Shinohara Yukinori to a small coffee shop.

The café was not big, but it was very lively. A lot of seats were already taken by guests. The aroma of food caused Su Xiao's stomach to growl.

"Let's sit here."

Shinohara Yukinori pointed at a four-seat table, indicating that Su Xiao should sit opposite to him as he ordered several dishes.

"Shinohara, this is a lot for just us."

Shinohara Yukinori chuckled and told Su Xiao that he didn't need to be polite.

"Don't mind it, someone will join us soon. Let's eat first."

Su Xiao didn't make a sound and started to eat.

"Byakuya, the ghoul that you killed last night has been sent to the headquarters. They've made an exception to raise you to a second-class Investigator. This is your new identification."

Su Xiao put down the cutlery and took the documents.

[Hint: Hunter, you have been promoted to rank 2 Investigator. Contribution points necessary for the next promotion: 50/400.]

Su Xiao did not need any special qualifications to upgrade his rank, he just needed to get rid of more ghouls. For 400 contribution points, he probably needed to kill 2 or 3 S-class ghouls, it was slightly more difficult.

It would be even more difficult to get the promotion from rank 1 Investigator to First Class Investigator.

According to normal circumstances, the main task (2) should not be this difficult.

It should have been like this mainly because Su Xiao stayed in the CCG camp alone.

In normal circumstances, there would be more than ten contractors on the side of the CCG. If more than ten ordinary contractors were to share the contribution points, each person would only need to contribute 30 points for everyone in the group to reach rank 1 Investigator.

But Su Xiao was alone in the faction, so the task of more than ten people had to be done by him alone, causing such a difficulty.

Most of the places in the 14th district were very peaceful, and it was difficult for Su Xiao to hunt and kill ghouls. If he were to be assigned to the 1st to 4th districts, the difficulty of the mission will decrease massively.

The density of ghouls in the 1st to the 4th districts was very large, it had reached the point where ordinary people could not survive there.

The ghouls there were all working together to survive, and there were many strong ghouls in the 1st to 4th districts.

Normally, S class was the limit of ghouls. If they want to continue to grow stronger, they could only increase the concentration of Rc cells in their bodies by eating other ghouls.

D classes were kind of like children to ghouls, and C classes could use Kagune, but their strength was somewhat weak. B classes were common ghouls, able to hide within human society. A rank belonged to the elite within the ghouls' forces. S class ghouls were a minority. As for those higher than S class, they could only rely on eating each other to grow.

The strength of ghouls didn't grow through training, but through eating, through consuming their own and similar species.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao bit the snack in his hand.

"Sorry, I'm late."

While Su Xiao thought about that, a beautiful woman sat down next to him.

Her pale blonde hair was bunched up and a black skirt suit contrasted nicely against the beauty's white and delicate skin. Black stockings were highlighting her sexy legs.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mado Akira, your future subordinate."

Shinohara Yukinori looked at Su Xiao with a smile. His gaze seemed to say: "Be thankful to have such a beautiful woman as your subordinate."

"I got it, I don't really mind it, but…"

Su Xiao looked at Shinohara Yukinori.

"I am currently preparing to enter a high-density location of ghouls, such as West Street. She may die over there."

Hearing that Su Xiao did not refuse, Shinohara Yukinori smiled, but when he heard the name 'West Street', Shinohara's smile disappeared instantly.

"West Street? That's an especially dangerous area in the 14th district. There are too many S-class ghouls to count over there. Byakuya, are you sure you want to go?"

"Yes."

If it were someone else, Shinohara would never agree, but Su Xiao was strong enough that he couldn't say anything.

"Akira, it seems that I have to assign you to someone else."

Shinohara Yukinori looked to the side, at Mado Akira.

"Shinohara, I have no problem with him. As an Investigator, I have to be ready for anything, even if it means going to the West Street."

Mado Akira straightened her body, her tone was firm. She then glanced at Su Xiao.

"Tap-tap, tap-tap, tap-tap…."

Shinohara Yukinori tapped the table with his index and middle finger while he called someone on his phone.

He called Mado Kureo. Shinohara Yukinori only said a few words, then hung up the phone.

"Kureo, that guy…. Well, you will follow Byakuya for now. Although you are also a rank 2 Investigator, you have to follow Byakuya's command. Byakuya, when are you going to West Street?"

It seemed that Shinohara Yukinori intended to allow Su Xiao to go to West Street, where the ghoul problem was very serious and urgently needed to be taken care of.

"I'm going over now. Let's go, mascot."

The 'mascot' Su Xiao talked about was Mado Akira. According to the information in the original story, Mado Akira's strength was merely ordinary.

As for whether Mado Akira would live or die in West Street, that depended on God's will.

When Mado Akira was called 'mascot', she was stunned and pointed at herself questioningly.

Seeing this scene, Shinohara Yukinori had no choice but to smile, indicating for Mado Akira to follow Su Xiao, wo had stood up.

A black car was driving on the road. Mado Akira was driving, Su Xiao was in the co-driver seat and had closed his eyes. They were heading to the infamous West Street.

"What are your plans for when you've arrived at West Street, Byakuya? What do I need to do?"

Mado Akira looked seriously, she sat straight, which incidentally also pronounced her chest.

"After arriving at West Street, we'll go kill ghouls!"

The plan, if it could be called such, was simple and crude. It obviously shocked Mado Akira, as the tall, beautiful woman stepped on the gas pedal, almost bumping into the car in front of them. [E/N: The TL also said something along the lines of that being typical behaviour for woman when driving.]

"Then, what do you want me to do?"

After calming down her emotions, Mado Akira asked her second question again.

"You can just look beautiful."

Su Xiao's calm answer made Mado Akira angry.

"These kinds of ghouls will not stay still and covet my beauty!"

Su Xiao chuckled and looked at Mado Akira.

"Don't worry, you have a 'very important' role. Without you, my plan is unlikely to succeed."

Two seconds ago, Su Xiao had thought of a plan.

Mado Akira suddenly grew aware of a strange glint in Su Xiao's gaze, she had the thought of turning around and running away.

"Then, can you share your plan with me?"

Su Xiao's mouth twitched into a brief smile before he controlled himself again, then he shook his head.

"No, if you know what's going to happen, it may affect the 'plan'."

Mado Akira felt bitter, she vented her feelings by stepping on the gas pedal.

Before the moody Mado Akira could calm down, the two arrived at the West Street, the cruellest area in the 14th district.


章 46: Chapter 46: Frightening Perception

After arriving at the West Street district, Su Xiao did not get off immediately.

"Mado Akira, do you know specifics about the West Street district?"

Although there were lots of ghouls eating each other in the West Street district, there were also some civilians living nearby.

"Of course, after I was assigned to the 14th district, I learned about this place."

Mado Akira searched for a while in the glove compartment and picked up a thick file.

"14th district: Nakano district, this area was popular for ghouls cannibalizing each other. Most ghouls are believed to hide among ordinary people. There are several factions of ghouls, where they gather …"

Su Xiao lit a cigarette and quietly continued to listened to Mado Akira.

After opening the window, Su Xiao exhaled the smoke.

"Byakuya, please don't smoke. There are more than 4,000 kinds of chemicals materials in cigarettes, 60 of them are very harmful to the body: nicotine, tobacco tar, carbon monoxide, irritating compounds… and second-hand smoke can affect my skin."

"Can you find a bar called 'Helter Skelter'? It should be nearby."

Mado Akira sighed helplessly.

"Of course."

Taking out her phone, she started looking up the way to the bar.

"I found it, it's just…"

Before Mado Akira could finish her words, Su Xiao suddenly straightened and looked at a pedestrian on the street.

"Ghouls."

Su Xiao's focused gaze surprised Mado Akira.

"What?"

Mado Akira was looking at Su Xiao, she did not believe that Su Xiao could distinguish them just by sight.

Su Xiao got off the car and walked behind a middle-aged man.

The man looked tired. He seemed like an office worker who was not in a good spot and was carrying a briefcase.

"Byakuya, wait, wait for me."

Mado Akira, carrying a suitcase, quickly followed Su Xiao.

"Can you tell me why you think that man is a ghoul?"

"Intuition."

The middle-aged man turned and walked into an alley, and Su Xiao quickly followed.

"Intuition?"

Her face showed her doubts. Looking at Su Xiao's back, her mind was in turmoil, questioning whether he might be right.

The middle-aged person was still walking through the dark, humid alleys.

"Stop."

Su Xiao's chilly voice seemed to surprise the middle-aged man.

"Huh? Who are you?"

The middle-aged man looked at Su Xiao with a confused look as he turned around.

"Don't pack human flesh in a bag next time, the blood leaked."

Su Xiao's words caused the man's face to change.

"It's none of your business, you want to die?"

The expression of the middle-aged man turned furious, his eyes turned red as he quickly rushed towards Su Xiao.

The ghoul in front of him was not strong, only about B-class. Su Xiao did not even draw [Dragon Flash].

The middle-aged man arrived in front of Su Xiao in just a few steps, aiming a punch at his head. His movements were stiff and he was slow.

AT this kind of attack, Su Xiao did not even feel the need to avoid it.

He lifted his left leg and kicked the lower abdomen of the ghoul. It cried out in pain, its whole body turned into a V shape before it fell and spat out bile from the impact.

The ghouls posture perfectly put its head into the front of Su Xiao.

Su Xiao used his arms to choke the ghoul, he then tightened his arms.

"Don't fight it, don't fight it…"

Just as Su Xiao was pressuring the middle-aged man's neck, Mado Akira ran into the alley.

"Crack."

The neck broke with the typical crispy sound and the middle-aged man's body suddenly turned soft. Su Xiao released his arms, causing the body of the middle-aged man to fall to the ground.

"Ask someone to clean this up."

Su Xiao walked to Mado Akira, who was surprised to see the dead ghoul.

This confused Mado Akira, could people really recognize ghouls by instinct?

Su Xiao returned to the car. He didn't know why, but after he saw the middle-aged man, he just felt that the person was a ghoul.

At that time, the bag in person's hand was slowly leaking blood, which he picked up on.

Su Xiao guessed that this may be related to his improvement in attributes.

While his attributes were improving, he felt that his body had changed a lot, obviously not its shape, but the muscles of his whole body were firmer and stronger.

Before entering the Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao practiced his sword skills every day for a long time.

During training he once injured his right wrist, since then it hurt whenever he trained.

But now, his old wounds were pretty much all completely healed.

Mado Akira also returned to the car, now she looked at Su Xiao's with different eyes.

"Byakuya, where are we going?"

"The bar, Helter Skelter."

The car started, and five minutes later, they arrived in front of the bar, 'Helter Skelter'.

"Wait in the car."

Su Xiao got off the car and left Mado Akira alone.

The 'Helter Skelter' was owned by a female ghoul called Itori.

Although Su Xiao did not know its specific location, he knew that it was a small information center.

He did not come to kill Itori, but to get information.

Itori was an SS-class ghoul. Usually, Su Xiao would not let an SS-class ghoul go, but Itori had more important uses.

An information dealer who knew the ghouls around here was far more valuable than the chance for a treasure case. Su Xiao could get more treasure cases by utilizing her knowledge.

Walking into the bar, Su Xiao didn't see any guests, likely because it was daytime.

The bar was retro styled. The walls were not decorated, but painted dark yellow. The bar had no windows and only the counter was lit, so the bar was a little dim. [E/N: No idea where author got that from, in the manga there were lots of lamps…]

"Welcome."

A lazy female voice came from behind the counter as Su Xiao sat down.

"Guest, what do you want to drink?"

Itori stood behind the counter, her long orange hair looked particularly conspicuous in the dim bar, as it was the most vivid color in the room.

She seemed to be calm, but in fact, she was very vigilant. As she was an information broker, Su Xiao was immediately recognized by Itori.

Paying attention to her eyes, Su Xiao knew that things would be easy to handle.

"Just answer my questions, I am not looking for trouble."

Itori took a few steps back and kept a safe distance from Su Xiao.

"Rank 3 Investigator Byakuya, the monster-level human who fought off Eto."

The bar was quiet, neither of them spoke.

Itori abilities at collecting information surprised Su Xiao. That she knew about Takatsuki Sen was normal, but it was surprising she knew that he had joined CCG.

"Talk, what do you want to know?"

Itori sighed and chose to give in.

"Where is the mutual eating zone in 14th district?"

"Just around here, in the West Street district."

Itori picked up her glass. It contained a dark red liquid which looked like red wine, but, in fact, was human blood.

The taste buds and stomach of ghouls were different from those of human beings. After eating human food, they would vomit no matter what.

They couldn't even drink anything, apart from water and coffee, no human foods could be consumed by ghouls.

"The specific location in the West Street district."

Su Xiao was somewhat inpatient.

"Don't show such a terrible expression. Alright, well, after 9 pm every night, the central location of the West Street district is the most serious area of mutual eating…"

Itori did not hesitate too long and sold out the other ghouls.

Knowing the specific situation, Su Xiao left the bar and already thought of the way to complete the task quickly.

If all goes well, he could complete the main task (2) in no more than a week.

"Ghouls eating each other, I'm really looking forward to it."
