After what happened in the previous day Kaneki wanted to start preparing himself for the rite of passage but.
???: here we need you to get these ingredients.
Kaneki: Okay then, I'll be right back!
Swoosh*
Shino: well there he goes.
Class 1-C is having cooking class. And Kaneki is helping out his group.
Sachi: he'll probably be back soon.
???: so Saki-san, where did you guys went to yesterday after school? Did you guys go to Pres's house?
Sachi: yup, we actually did.
Everyone: seriously?!
Shino: yup, and they're very rich too.
Yuuka: we even got to eat some very expensive food as well.
Itsuki: yeah! The food was so good.
Natsuki: and everyone there was very nice too.
???: ehh? Really?
Natsuki: yup, well one of them didn't made a good first impression for Higanbana-kun though.
Yuta: really?
Miku: yup, it was Pres's mom, she actually chased after Higanbana-kun to give him a hug the moment she saw him.
Everyone: seriously?
Keiko: yeah! She was pretty hot too.
All the guys: seriously!!!
Sachi: and also Kaneki was pretty afraid of her.
Everyone: huh?
Sachi: i rather not explain why, but after dinner we did met someone who Kaneki felt very comfortable with.
???: and who was it?
Yuuka: it was an old lady and turns out she was actually the twin sister of his grandma.
Everyone: seriously?!
Ryueki: yeah, and he even hugged her.
He said in a mocking tone.
???: really? That's so sweet.
???: is this really the same Higanbana we're talking about?
???: he really does have a good side to him huh?
Ryueki's thoughts*
(What?! Seriously?! They were supposed to make fun of him?! A mob character like him doesn't deserve to be praised like that?!)
Well jokes on you thats not how it works.
???: did they talk or something?
Yuuka: they actually did but they told us to keep it a secret so sorry.
Everyone: oh.
And after that they all went back to their cooking class until Kaneki returned.
Meanwhile at the Shirogane mansion*
Yukiya: Dear is everything prepared?
Shiho: yup! All the things for the rite of passage is ready all we need to do now is wait.
Yukiya: good, do you think Kaneki-chan can do this?
Shiho: of course!
Yukiya: good. I wonder who that Banana girl was from yesterday.
Shiho: probably a very close friend since they're on a first name basis.
Yukiya: i see, well I'll be heading to the basement now I'm going to check on hint that was given to us by Yurei-sama.
Shiho: okay!
After having their small chat Yukiya went to the basement.
Lunch break*
After cooking class Kaneki, Sachi, Chikao and Natsuki went to their usual spot to eat Lunch and to also discuss about the rite of passage.
Natsuki: what do you guys think the rite of passage will be?
Chikao & Kaneki: either trial by Battle or just making a weapon.
Sachi: well knowing that you made the liberator you probably can definitely make a weapon.
Natsuki: but what weapon will you make.
Kaneki: I'll handle it and also after school I'll be finishing the clean up at the Kodama mansion.
Sachi: um okay... Kaneki are you sure you want to do this rite of passage?
Kaneki: yup, i want to get that crown for Miyu-chan.
Natsuki: you really want to get that crown huh?
Kaneki: yup!
Natsuki: well do your best we'll cheer you on.
Chikao: yeah, we definitely will!
Sachi: yup! And after you win the rite of passage I'll make you pudding cakes tomorrow.
Kaneki: !!! I'm motivated now!
All 3: hehehe~ you really like pudding huh?
Kaneki: of course!
With Kaneki motivated he's prepared to do the rite of passage.
