The ones who entered are intimidating men. One the size of a bear with a completely bald head that shines, and the other a hunched old man with a wrinkled and unhappy face.
Both have severe and threatening expressions, and in their hands are electric batons that crackle.
The bald bear looks at her annoyed and says with a deep voice.
"Kamishiro, it's time for your training."
Rize sighs a bit trying to relax and calm her nerves. It seems the eye hasn't been seen by them yet, which is good. The eye's size is quite small and could go unnoticed on top of her long hair, unless one happened to place their eye on that spot.
She brings a finger to her lips and smiling sweetly with innocence, says.
"Training? It's quite boring to always do the same thing. Why do you have to train me today too?"
She strokes her chin while pretending to have a thoughtful and curious expression.
"I'll be obedient for training if you take me out of here and bring me outside to the surface to play for a while, hehe..."
The hunched and wrinkled old man raises his electric baton and strikes it over and over against his own palm in a threatening gesture.
"Stop playing with us and be obedient at once. The other products have already been gathered in the training area and you're the only one missing."
"Tsk, boring."
She moves toward them with an expressionless and empty face.
It was also at that moment that the bear without hair on his head suddenly becomes alarmed and looks at Rize's head, specifically a part of her hair, and says loudly.
"What is that thing on your head?!"
Rize freezes completely in place, and then sighs with resignation while thinking, 'ah, in the end Yuki-chan has been seen... what a shame.'
The old man is also surprised.
"Is it an eye? Has Kamishiro torn out someone's eyes...? No! It's an eye that's still moving!"
When she's about to say something sarcastic to mock the two men, she feels something strange happening.
It's an invisible presence extending from Yuki-chan, who's on top of her head. That frequency expands like waves in a calm pond that was struck by a stone.
She can't see that frequency with her eyes, but it could be considered a quite strong frequency because she can feel it against her skin.
The two guards approach Rize to snatch that eye.
But the moment they look at the crimson pupils of the eye, the two men stop, and their bodies freeze like statues. Their severe expressions quickly change, and all emotion melts from their faces until leaving flat and blank expressions.
"Go back where you came from and forget what you saw here."
Rize hears a masculine voice saying those words with authority. It's a voice that came out through the eye above her.
'No way. Yuki-chan can talk?'
But in all this time they've known each other...
'Why is this the first time Yuki-chan speaks?'
She turns her head quickly knowing the eye spoke to the guards, and sees that both men blink before turning around like puppets on strings and walking toward the door.
The masculine voice once again sounds from the eye.
"If anyone asks why you're not taking her, put a reasonable excuse so they don't suspect."
The guards nod before closing the steel door and returning down the concrete hallway.
Rize stays still for a long moment while processing what she just witnessed. She quickly grabs the eye with both hands and puts it in front of her face.
"Yuki-chan, was it you who made those dogs obey you? How cool! Hey, hey! You know how to talk?"
Faced with this excited Rize, the eye blinks twice in succession, which generally means to her something like "more or less."
She puts on an unhappy face.
"Hey, Yuki-chan, you can talk, right? Why don't you talk now like before?"
The eye looks at her innocently but doesn't speak again or emit any sound, even after five entire minutes where Rize doesn't stop asking in different ways the same thing about why Yuki-chan doesn't talk now.
"Heeeh... but what you did was very interesting."
She looks at Yuki-chan with shining eyes. She realizes there are many things she doesn't understand about her own pet. That's wrong, very wrong.
She must completely understand everything about her pet, only then can she be a good owner, right?
Ah...
She remembers what's happened since a week ago when Yuki-chan appeared.
Generally her training was intense and extremely bloody. Apart from being trained to increase her speed and strength using her kagune, they beat her mercilessly to increase her pain resistance to inhuman levels.
They made her starve for entire days, and exposed her to normal human food as a test every day. It's truly a painful punishment for a ghoul. Having to endure intense hunger for human flesh, and instead giving her human food, which is no different from making her drink poison directly.
They force her to kill to sharpen her ability to kill without hesitation. They force her to resist murder attempts from other children to know how to survive.
But it's not just her who's subjected to this type of hellish training, since the other children also go through something similar. But without doubt Rize is the only one whose difficulty is far superior to the others.
After experiencing the same thing all these years, she was already used to those hellish treatments.
However, since Yuki-chan appeared, every time she trained the trainers no longer beat her until all her bones were broken and then had to slowly regenerate, nor did they force her to eat human food or make her starve.
She's also not forced to participate in the free-for-all fights, a brutal confrontation of children in which she also often participated, where only the strongest survive and the rest die.
Realizing this preferential treatment was probably due to Yuki-chan, Rize's eyes shine while looking at the floating eye with something like adoration.
"It was Yuki-chan... hehehe. This feeling is so pleasant."
Not knowing that warm emotion is gratitude, she laughs while patting the eye that returned to fist size.
"You're not an ordinary floating eye, are you? You don't look like any animal I know... Hmm... Let's see, maybe there's someone controlling you from somewhere else...?"
Yuki-chan seems to shudder and start sweating nervously. Of course, all that is only imaginary by the way the eye behaves. Seeing this, Rize's lips stretch into a dangerous smile.
"Hahaha! Then I'm right. I wonder who you really are, Yuki-chan. Or rather, who is your true owner."
Yuki-chan narrows its eyelids with what seems to be annoyance, before in a quick flash it moved through the air at great speed and crashed directly against Rize's forehead.
"Ouch! That hurt a bit..."
Rubbing her forehead with one hand, she takes the eye carefully and puts it on her lap.
"I see... So Yuki-chan has special powers besides being able to float around..."
While stroking Yuki-chan gently as if it were a fat, round cat, she says.
"What else can you do? Show me, show meee."
The eye blinks and then rises from her lap floating.
Then...
Something extraordinary happens.
The eye closes its eyelids slowly and falls to the floor as if sleeping deeply.
"..."
"Pfft! Hahaha!"
Rize laughs out loud.
"It's incredible! A truly unique and useful superpower."
Hearing Rize's voice, Yuki-chan rises from the floor and seems incredibly proud of itself.
Rize cups her hands forming a small nest and the eye reducing its size descends to rest there.
"Whoever is controlling Yuki-chan must be someone extraordinary and powerful. I wonder if they're also a ghoul like me..."
Rize's eyes emit a dangerous and possessive glow, making Yuki-chan shudder.
"Someday I want to meet them personally."
A twisted and obsessive smile forms on her face.
Rize lies down on the hard bed in the prison and closes her eyes.
"Yuki-chan, if someday I find a way to get out of here, will you come with me? So we can explore the world together, eat delicious human flesh, and meet your creator..."
She opens one eye to look at the small crimson eye floating around the cell.
"What do you think of this idea? Cool, isn't it? I'm so excited just thinking about it!"
The eye stops in front of her face, before starting to emit a wave of frequencies.
Then the masculine voice is heard again, saying.
"It's fine."
Rize startles.
"You spoke again! You didn't go mute!"
"Hehe... perfect, then that's a promise between us."
Her eyes shine with possessiveness while holding the eye.
"Yuki-chan is mine, and its owner will also be mine eventually."
