The next day.

In the morning I woke up and do my daily exercise. After two hours of exercising I go take a bath. When I come down to the kitchen my mother was waiting for me.

Echo:" Mom, what's for breakfast?"

Yuuna:" We will eat a light breakfast today Honey. Cause I want to bring you somewhere today. We will eat at that place."

Echo:" Okay, So where are we going?"

Yuuna:" That's a secret. You will see when we get there."

Echo:" what is this? So mysterious. Hahaha"

After we eat breakfast we left the house. We left using a car and there are about four bodyguards escorting us. I already have an inkling of where we are going today as our car heading toward the 20th wards, so we must be going to Anteiku.

An hour later, my prediction proved right as right now we're now in front of a Coffee Shop.

Yuuna:" Let's go, honey. Right now it must be pretty quiet as now is not rush time."

Echo:" Coming, So this is Anteiku that you've always tell me about? Pretty nice Cafe there. We should often come here, mom."

Yuuna:" Yeah, you're right. Now let's go."

She opens the door and goes in, I follow behind her with two of our bodyguard following us.

Waitress:" Welcome in, please choose your seat." said the waitress welcoming us.

Yuuna:" Thank you. I'll take the counter." my mother answer and she goes to the bar seat.

Yoshimura:" Well well, what an old customer. How have you been, Yuuna-san? It's been a decade since you are visiting. Where is Juugo?" Yoshimura greets mother amicably.

Yuuna:" It's been a while Yoshimura-san. It's been hard to come here since there are many memories here. Juugo is already dead, about three years after our marriage." she answered with a little bit of sadness in her tone.

Yoshimura:" I see, I am sorry to hear that. So, who is this boy?"

Yuuna:" Ah yes, Yoshimura-san please meet Echo. Mine and Juugo's son, Echo this is Yoshimura-san that I've been talking about."

Echo:" Good afternoon, Yoshimura-san. Please take care of me." I said to him while bowing my head.

Yoshimura:" Hohoho, what a polite kid. Nice to meet you too, Echo-kun. So, what's your order Yuuna-san?"

Yuuna:" Coffee latte for me. what do you want, Echo?" mom said her order while asking mine.

Echo:" I want a Hamburg set with a cola." I answer to the surprise of Yoshimura if his raise eyebrows tell me.

He looks at my mother inquiring her which she tells him that she will answer later in private.

After we finish eat and drinking, Yoshimura invites us to his office. Our bodyguard wants to follow us but, mom tells them to wait.

Yoshimura:" Is he okay? Eating normal food?" he asks mom after we seated in.

Yuuna:" Well you see, he's different from others ghouls. He can eat normal human food from the start. But, he still has Ghoul traits."

Yoshimura:" I see, you can't let anyone know about this. Many people will hunt him for this."

Yuuna:" Yeah, I know. Since this is also the reason of Juugo's death. His subordinates know about Echo being half-ghoul and when they found out he can eat normal food he tried to sell the information to the Washuu clan. Juugo found out about this and go kill them along with three of Washuu Agen but he was also killed for it."

Yoshimura:" I see. So, there is no one who knows it now right?"

Yuuna:" No, except for my parents. They also told me to not tell anybody about it."

Echo:" Mom, you didn't tell me about it. So, that's why father died?"

Yuuna:" You are still young at that time, so I didn't tell you about it."

Echo:" Hmmm, if you say so."

Yoshimura:" So, you say he's still retaining the ghoul's traits, Yuuna-san?" Yoshimura says, bringing us back to the topic.

Yuuna:" Yes, he has a Kakugan in his left eyes and he also has two Kagune. It was Rinkaku and Ukaku."

Yoshimura:" hmm, Echo-kun can you let me see it?" He said while looking at me.

Echo:" Okay!" I then let out my Kagune and Kakugan.

Yoshimura:" Hoooh, what a strong Kagune. From what I see it's as strong as SS Class ghoul. How is hi fighting prowess?"

Yuuna:" He is strong. My father keeps talking about strong heirs and hired so many martial arts tutor to teach him and Echo seem to enjoy it and absorb their teaching like a sponge." she answers him while I thought. ' it's more like I'm refreshing my memories than learning from them. Since I already master all martial arts that I can get on in my last life.'

Yoshimura:" Then that's good. He can't be too defenseless since I think sooner or later his existence will bring much trouble for him. I know so much about Washuu Clan and their information gathering is top-notch. You should be careful Echo-kun."

Echo:" Yes, Yoshimura-san thank you for the reminder. You should wait for me since I've been experimenting with my blood to see if I can make something that can make other ghouls be able to eat normal food."

Yoshimura:" Experiment? That's dangerous Echo-kun you have to learn first before doing something like that."

Echo:" it's okay. I've been doing it, ask mom."

Yoshimura looks skeptical and turns his head toward mom.

Yuuna:" Yes, he is a genius kid. Our family business flourishing with his help. You can count on him since he's been learning about ghoul anatomy for a while now."

Yoshimura:" I see, then I hope you succeed in creating it since there are many ghouls that want to live normally and blending in with human."

Echo:" Yes, leave it to me." I can make it anytime I want with Denial of Nothingness but it will be weird if I didn't look like I'm researching it.

After talking for a while, we left. Then mom brought me to go shopping. She is been buying me so many clothes. We then go play around for a day.

By the time we arrived home, it's already nighttime. When we go through the Mansion gate, we see that everyone looks gloomy and I smell of blood in the air.

We go inside the house and we see many of our subordinates injured and Grandpa sitting in his seat with an angry face.

Yuuna:" Father, what happens? Why is everyone injured?"

Grandpa:" Our subordinate has been attacked by a group of ghouls. Fortunately, they bring a Quinque with them that the casualties aren't that much. They should have won their battle but, they've been surprised by them also bringing out a Quinque."

Echo:" They have a Quinque? Is it our merchandise? How did they look?"

Grandpa:" No, it's not one of ours. They are all wearing black fedora."

Echo:" I see, I think I know who they are. The bastard starts playing in the shadow."

Grandpa:" You know? What do you mean by that?"

Echo:" You see Gramp, the CCG is created by Washuu clan. They are a clan of ghouls since we are rejecting CCG demands. They start to attack us from the shadow. The one who attacks us is Vasuki. They're a group under Washuu clan that deal with their shady dealing and now they're targeting us."

Grandpa:" I see, then we should increase our security and the underlings to always be in a group."

Echo:" that will do for now. I'll make something to help them so they can easily defeat them."

Grandpa:" I will leave it to you then."

While I am talking with grandpa, mom has been busy to help everyone who has injuries. After finish treating their wound, we go to sleep.
