Eto Yoshimura clearly places immense value on this opportunity, personally overseeing the arrangements. She has hand picked her fervent "braindead fans" for this event.
Furthermore, Eto is accompanied by Noro.
Noro also holds a significant position among the executives of the Aogiri Tree. He is an SS-ranked Ghoul, an undeniable powerhouse in the Tokyo Ghoul world. His formidable regenerative abilities enable him to swiftly recover even when his body is utterly obliterated.
During her childhood, Eto faced hardship and was solitary until her encounter with Noro and others. They established the Aogiri Tree, and she has consistently viewed Noro as family.
Noro and his companions' unwavering loyalty to Eto is beyond question.
"When are we embarking?"
Eto's impatience is palpable.
"Don't rush. Wait for another two days. I've returned for a brief period, and I wish to spend quality time with them. Additionally, I need to arrange for some fresh supplies."
Lin Yi isn't in a hurry. Time in the Titan world remains stagnant since he left, so it won't impact his plans.
Moreover, the majority of the supplies he brought to the Titan world during his previous visit have been depleted. This is a phase of rapid development for his influence in the Titan world, warranting thorough preparation this time.
As the head of the CCG, Lin Yi issued orders to requisition a substantial quantity of supplies and even procured a set of firearms.
Firearms have limited efficacy in the Ghoul world, as Ghouls' speed enables them to evade bullets. Standard bullets can't inflict fatal damage on Ghouls.
However, in the Titan world where technology lags, firearms might not wield considerable influence in intimidating Titans, but they prove effective against humans.
The requisition of supplies took three days.
Lin Yi publicly stated that he was discreetly training a specialized task force, an excuse flimsy enough that nobody within the CCG dared to raise objections.
Furthermore, the supplies he requisitioned were non-essential items—mostly food and materials that are abundant in the modern world.
...
Titan World.
As Lin Yi led the group through the time passage, they emerged into the light.
The moment Eto appeared, her excitement drove her to the forefront, her eyes gleaming as she inhaled the clear air deeply.
Lin Yi smiled subtly, comprehending Eto's emotions.
Trailing behind them were ten figures garbed in brown robes and hoods, obscuring their visages.
"Starting today, your new identities are as employees of the Lin Family Trading Company."
"Yes."
Lin Yi had already acquainted Eto with the general scenario of this world.
Eto resembled an inquisitive child, stretching on her tiptoes to maximize her 160-centimeter height, gazing at the colossal wall in the distance.
"This is the Rose Wall. Wow, it's truly breathtaking."
"Don't gawk."
Lin Yi suddenly questioned whether it was wise to bring Eto here.
Before she could say anything, he patted Eto's head and led the way forward.
Eto touched the back of her head, simulating annoyance, yet obediently followed suit. Passersby glanced at her as she strode in a modern-style long dress, undeniably drawing attention.
However, given their recognition of the Lin Family Trading Company's insignia, no one dared to create any disturbance.
Lin Yi ushered Eto into the trading company, where Herys promptly approached, regarding the unfamiliar faces with curiosity. Herys adhered perfectly to his role, refraining from unnecessary inquiries.
"Sir, is there anything I can assist you with?"
"Prepare a few sets of attire for this young lady." Lin Yi indicated Eto and nodded in Herys's direction. As Eto left, she practically skipped away, a radiant expression that she couldn't suppress.
Herys seemed to have misconstrued the relationship between Lin Yi and Eto. He had never witnessed Lin Yi interacting with an unfamiliar woman before, not counting Mikasa, given her young age.
Furthermore, Eto's nonchalant and uninhibited demeanor before Lin Yi perplexed Herys.
Consequently, he exercised caution.
Herys even specifically selected several sets of high-quality noble garments from the store, causing Lin Yi to wait a while.
Nonetheless, it must be acknowledged that upon witnessing the transformed Eto, Lin Yi was taken aback.
Eto donned a light blue gown, epitomizing the European court style, lending her the aura of a noble princess.
Eto's appearance was inherently delicate, albeit usually somewhat unkempt. Now, adorned in elegant attire, she undoubtedly stood out.
"How does it look? How does it look?"
The moment she spoke, her tone transitioned to that of a frenzied individual, abruptly dismantling the refined image.
"Not bad," Lin Yi responded candidly.
At that juncture, a knock resonated at the door. Mikasa stood there, a suitcase in hand, her gaze perplexed as she beheld the "coquettish" Eto before Lin Yi.
Before Lin Yi could reply, Eto advanced towards Mikasa. Despite being marginally taller than Mikasa by half a head, Eto adopted the role of an elder sister.
"You must be Mikasa, right? How adorable. Is that your Quinque? It appears quite impressive."
Eto pinched Mikasa's cheeks and beamed.
Uncertain of the association between the eccentric woman before her and Lin Yi, Mikasa hesitated on whether to evade the gesture or not.
"Enough with introductions; let's become friends. I'm Eto, a partner of Mr. Lin. We'll likely encounter each other often in the future."
With a pat on Mikasa's head, Eto stepped back, offering a slight bow before extending a dainty hand toward Mikasa.
Just as her hand was about to make contact, Lin Yi swatted her hand away.
"Pay her no mind. You should proceed with your training."
Mikasa felt relief, grateful to exit the presence of Eto, whose mere presence always made her feel uneasy. This woman... emanated an enigmatic sense of danger.
"Mr. Lin, you're still the same—so unromantic."
Observing Mikasa's retreating figure, Eto grinned playfully, located a seat, and seated herself elegantly, extending her long legs gracefully.
"Alright, cease the theatrics."
Lin Yi cast a glance at Herys, who dutifully withdrew, shutting the door behind him.
Appearing oblivious to Lin Yi's words, Eto resumed striking poses, evidently reveling in her current attire.
Here, no one recognizes her as a Ghoul, the One-Eyed King.
They perceive her solely as a noblewoman.
"So, enlighten me—what task do you require of me?"
Eto inquired abruptly.
Lin Yi nodded and retrieved several sketches from his pocket. In a world devoid of cameras, sketches served as the sole means of depicting people. These sketches were remarkably true to life.
They unmistakably delineated the individuals they portrayed.
