Chapter 727: Kousaka Kyosuke: Advising Someone to Write a Tragedy Invites Lightning from Heaven

The entire room sank into a long, heavy silence.

The members of the Antique Coffee Shop exchanged glances, looking at each other.

Even Nyuigai Kaori silently reached out and pinched her own thigh, feeling that... excruciating pain, her face twitching, only then realizing it wasn't a dream.

"...... Dong Xiang! Can you take responsibility for what you just said?"

After taking two shallow breaths, Yoshitoki Yomotsu regarded Wudao Dong Xiang with serious intensity, his voice trembling slightly.

Yoshitoki Yomotsu is now dedicated to harmonious coexistence between ghouls and humans.

Yet although he holds this ideal, he deeply knows within his heart that it is nearly impossible to achieve.

He simply refuses to give up, and continues to strive for it anyway.

"I can!"

Wudao Dong Xiang spoke slowly, each word deliberate.

Nyuigai Kaori's expression shifted slightly; without hesitation, she darted out, returning after a long while and nodding.

"No one is eavesdropping nearby! It's safe."

Yotsuya Renji exhaled in relief, then turned his gaze back to Wudao Dong Xiang. "Then... can you tell us the method? If you can't, that's fine—we'll give you our full support."

Wudao Dong Xiang may have originally been just an ordinary member of the Antique Coffee Shop.

But the moment she acquired the method for ghouls to consume human food,

her identity underwent a complete transformation, becoming the most crucial factor in the Antique Coffee Shop's goal of achieving harmony between humans and ghouls.

"Just swallow this pill!"

Wudao Dong Xiang pulled out a vial from her chest and placed it on the table without hesitation.

Yotsuya Renji did not hesitate. "I'll try it first!"

Yotsuya Renji is Wudao Dong Xiang's uncle; under these circumstances, he naturally stood firmly behind her.

Wudao Dong Xiang watched as Yotsuya Renji swallowed the pill, silently praying in her heart.

Xiao Zhizhi Shu, please don't cause any trouble now.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to handle the aftermath.

Although Wudao Dong Xiang can consume human food due to bloodline optimization, she could never tell the members of the Antique Coffee Shop this truth.

She could only use the pill as an excuse.

Yotsuya Renji frowned slightly; he felt some change in his body, yet could not precisely articulate what exactly had changed.

He clenched his fist slightly.

"My strength hasn't diminished at all!"

Yotsuya Renji nodded and immediately sat down, beginning to taste the food on the table.

The instant he swallowed the first bite, his body froze.

"...... Is this what human food tastes like?"

Yotsuya Renji had always presented himself to the outside world as cold and detached.

But now, his body trembled, and his eyes turned red.

He barely managed to control his emotions, avoiding the same loss of composure that Wudao Dong Xiang had shown earlier.

He ate the human food, one bite after another, to the extreme.
