Lucien was currently watching something very funny and amusing. It was Kaneki Ken who was trying to learn, how to properly make a coffee from Yoshimura. He was clothed in Anteiku attire for waiters and wore a white eyepatch on his left eye."Slowly take your time...like you"re writing the hiragana character for no."
Instructed Yoshimura as he was standing behind Kaneki and watching the entire process. After some time of watching this drama and then listening to Yoshimura"s lecture, Lucien decided to go away. It was already tiresome to listen to all this and he was already tired.
But before he was going away, he came to the Yoshimura and they sat away from others to have a private conversation. Yoshimura was rather interested in some things, he wanted to ask Lucien some things about Washuu Clan and Vasuki. Lucien on the other side wanted to warn Yoshimura to be cautious.
"Lucien-kun, even though this mind sounds daring, but I have to ask. Why is someone from your house in Tokyo?"
Lucien wasn"t surprised by this question, cause Arima had asked him something similar. Almost everybody who was aware of Aeon House would be surprised if even one of them left that Island.
"Answer is very simple, Sir. Washuu Clan needs to be eliminated. Scrupulously."
Lucien actually respected Yoshimura a lot, because of that he called him sir. This old man has done too much for others and sacrificed a lot in his life. And lost, even more, his daughter included. He helped other ghouls that were in need as Touka, in her time or now Kaneki. Once he helped even Renji to not lose himself in the endless cycle of hatred.
"Washuu Clan has stood firmly for hundreds of years, but I hope you can succeed."
Smiled Yoshimura at Lucien. He was aware of fact that Washuu Clan was powerful but they needed to be eliminated. They were the reason of hatred and all those strifes here.
=============================================
Several weeks had gone by the time of the Steel Beam Incident. Lucien spent most of his time training and would often visit Anteiku. He wasn"t visiting Helter Skelter Bar too much cause Itori was now visiting him in his estate. Now they were an official couple, she was acting more daring and more demanding to him.
Itori wanted to be spoiled by him and held. Sometimes she would be scared from that, he would leave her behind. Lucien realized that he really loved her dearly and was even thinking he should send letter home telling that he found himself a girlfriend. But that would probably create a mess, cause his mother would insist on coming here to interrogate both of them. So he deleted this particular idea from his head.
He was still waiting for time to strike against his enemies and he knew that the time was coming soon, during the 11th Ward Battle and Second Chochlea Raid at the end of the December. Lucien even received an invitation to the Ghoul Restaurant but he wasn"t too interested in the event, even though Kaneki was the dish.
But what was rather shocking was the message from his family. It talked about finding some book that talked about Magitek and some red crystal, which were called Magitek Cores. Lucien was shocked to hear that and he found it rather weird.
He was aware of Magitek and its potential but it was rather fishy, for the book of Magitek to appear in some random cave on Blood Island, but the construction of Magitek seemed extremely hard. The entire book was divided into several stages and the first stage required for unlocking part of the book. Even the first stage of book required Viscount Ranked person to unlock it and person unlocking it must be Sacred Devourer Ghoul.
Now both houses on Island started to construct basic magitek soldier that could rival baron ranked cultivator. But to construct something like this was too hard and to construct one of the magitek soldiers took around a week. But apparently, as people became more proficient in that so they could create them more quickly. But lack of people who were creating them was too much, because of that production of magitek soldiers wasn"t much.
But even so, they gave huge war potential against demons on the Blood Island. Currently, there were around ten magitek soldiers on the Blood Island and were actively fighting against demons.
Lucien wanted to see Magitek in its full beauty. Magitek had infinite potential and could produce more powerful soldiers. But the problem here was fact that they don"t have the source of Magitek Cores, which is the source of power and energy for magitek machines. They can"t create magitek cores cause they don"t have an energy source like some crystal or mana core.
Magitek Civilization would bloom once again, thought Lucien. But he also understood fact that this civilization would rise only when he would leave this world. Out there, in a vast multiverse, there were many sources of energy and metals that could drive the machinery. Sadly in the majority of Low-Grade worlds weren"t necessary resources as metals or energy sources required to create many magitek inventions.
Now Lucien wanted to meet Eto, not because of some matters to discuss but just. He just wanted to see her. He can"t deny the fact that she is very attractive for him and even though she had a rather weird personality, even more, wicked than Itori, she was still very appealing.
=============================================
As now was already November, so weather was colder. Lucien went to the 24th Ward by foot, so it would take him some time to get there. He liked going by foot cause he could observe everything around him. Observing people was always one of his hobbies.
When he gets there, as always 24th Ward was ugly and destroyed as it used to be. Nothing more than ruins but now something changed. There were more ghouls here and many of them even fought amongst each other. Lucien only looked at this, before going to the place was Eto was living.
When he was on his way there, he noticed familiar figure training in some martial arts. It was Tatara, clothed in his traditional white clothes from times when Chi She Lian was still active. He always wore the same clothes and same mask as the Chi She Lian for his entire life. Memento.
"h.e.l.lo, Tatarsan."
Greeted Lucien fellow martial artist. It was an unusual view to see one of these ghouls actually train so much. What"s more, Tatara trained even simplified version of scripture what Lucien gave him.
"Greeting, Lucien-san. How about we have a spar?"
As soon as he had opportunity Tatara asked Lucien for a spar. He actually didn"t have many people with whose he could train and Lucien could be counted as one of very a few. Lucien smiled at this and nodded his head.
"Why not, I did not train yet."
