CHAPTER 21: CHAPTER 21: BATH TIME

—-------------

Chapter- 21

—-------------

No matter what books he asked for, Shizuka always got them for him since it was very easy for her to get any educational books

Because she is a teacher in a school as she could borrow books from the library and take those books home

When he finishes which usually takes one or 2 days, it makes it easier for her to return those books on time without any issue

This is the reason he has more knowledge than an average person since he gains knowledge because he needs to but rather he gains knowledge because he wants to

"Really?" Rei asked this like she did not believe her at all since it was really hard for her to believe what Just Shizuka said

"Of courseeeee~" Shizuka replied with full confidence in her big chest as she was very sure about what she just said

"Let’s believe in Shizuka-sensei" Saeko came forward as she said this as she believed Shizuka and to be honest she was sure Kaneki dont make anything that would be bad for them

She is now not afraid of him since she now started to understand what kind of person he is and realised that he is not bad at all and also kind enough to think about them

Not only that as he also had no objections or even allowed Rei to go to their house and not only that as He gave those scam warnings as well and he even intended to not kill that scam whose leg got broken by Kaneki

All these signs indicate what Shizuka said to them in the car and at the time she didn’t believe that much even though Saeko had trust in her but she thought Shizuka said that due to the fact that Kaneki had a soft spot towards her and would do anything to satisfy her

But now she fully believes what Shizuka told them in the car; still, many more questions remain unanswered in her mind. For example, is Kaneki human at all?

At Least one thing is clear she thinks Kaneki is really reliable as a teammate, especially after seeing his interactions with Shizuka

Saeko understands Rei and Saya’s worries since at the start she also liked them but now she comes to see him as an ally

It can’t be said for Rei and Saya as even though they are still worried about Kaneki but at least it is a lot better than their First Meeting

Rei seems to trust him but still, she has forgotten what Kaneki is capable as he is capable enough to rip apart any human with his bare hands

So it is natural to worry when you are going with someone like him but Rei thinks she just needs more time to adjust to him

Meanwhile, it can’t be said the same with Saya as no matter what she will remain worried about him due to the fact how strange he is

From her point of view, Kaneki isn’t human from any angle at all which worries her the most because of that she can’t understand his thoughts at all

She still feels that she would rather stick with him and others due to how well they have done this far and not only that as Kaneki did not do anything crazy other than help them

Not to mention she wants to live then she can’t leave this group at all because of this zombie apocalypse and surviving alone is impossible for her

Also even finding a trusting group like this would be basically impossible, especially in this condition where everyone is desperate to survive and for that, anyone would go to any lengths including betrayal

At worst, she might find those scums like those men they encountered on the way, which is gonna make her feel death is peaceful compared to what those scums will do to her.

At least she feels that it is better to stay with Kaneki and others than with some bastards who abandoned them

And now she is certain that she could at least do better than before all thanks to Shizuka’s friend whose house provided her with a weapon and also thanks to Kaneki who taught her how to use that weapon

"You all should take a bath while dinner gets ready~," Shizuka said as she thought it better to freshen up before a meal

"Should we take turns in the bath?" Rei asked this question since there are 5 people in the group at this time

"We should take a bath together for now to save water" Saeko said as she thought taking baths one by one would not only waste water but also time

Considering Kaneki is cooking food right now, it will become cold by the time they all finish bathing one by one

This is why Saeko prefers to take a bath together at this moment and together means her, Saya, Rei and Shizuka since they are female too

But the problem is that taking the bath in this house bathroom will be too cramped meaning Shizuka has to wait while Saya, Saeko and Rei take a bath first

Shizuka has no problem with it since she also prefers that way due to some unknown reason which is only in her mind

Not only that but while they are gone to take a bath, she could also continue her lovely conversation with Kaneki

"Okay" "All alright" Rei and Saya replied to Saeko as they had no problem with this arrangement especially Saya who seemed to want to have a conversation with them or specifically Saeko

This is why Saya thinks this might be a perfect opportunity for her to talk because there are many questions she wants to ask her at this moment

With that, 3 of them started to walk towards the bathroom but As water was already warm since Rei had already turned on the heater before

Meanwhile, Shizuka moved back to Kaneki who was making dinner and continued to talk even though Kaneki might not be that talkative Still Shizuka had a lot of fun talking to him
