Chapter 194 - Chapter 194: The Matter of Marriage

Compared to that, she and Kishou had only just started dating, they were not even at the point of considering marriage yet.

"By the way, Eto-sensei is a half-ghoul, right? And Uchiha-kun is a half-human... so between a half-ghoul and a half-human, the child they'd have wouldn't be a pure human or a pure ghoul, right?" Uruka Minami suddenly thought of the question.

She already knew that a child born between a human and a ghoul would either be a half-human or a half-ghoul.

So between a half-human and a half-ghoul, would their child also be either a half-human or half-ghoul, how did that work?

"Yeah, there's basically no possibility of a pureblood. Only two possibilities: either a half-human or a half-ghoul," Byakuya replied.

"Then... I guess it would be the same for me and Kishou..." Minami immediately thought of herself and Arima Kishou.

Kishou was a half-human, and she was a ghoul, so their child would likely be a hybrid as well.

Thinking of that, Minami suddenly realized she was getting way ahead of herself, and a flush of red crept up on her cheeks.

She and Kishou had only just started dating, and she was already thinking about things like that, it felt a little shameless to her.

"Yes. The only two possibilities for you would be a half-human or a half-ghoul," Byakuya said plainly.

Yoshimura Kuzen's gaze suddenly held a trace of concern as he looked toward Minami.

Because he was someone who had been through it himself, he knew just how difficult it was for a hybrid child to even be born.

The one who would suffer the most would always be the mother.

Because whether it was a half-human or a half-ghoul, a hybrid fetus in the womb would require both human flesh and normal food as dual sources of nutrition as otherwise, the fetus would end up being stillborn.

Back then, Ukina, who was human, in order to give birth to Eto, forced herself to swallow raw human flesh, while Yoshimura Kuzen watched helplessly from the side.

And as a ghoul, Minami certainly wouldn't have any aversion to eating human flesh, but at the same time, she would also have to consume normal food, which, for a ghoul, would undoubtedly be a kind of torture.

Just imagine being forced to swallow something incredibly disgusting, the kind of disgust that would make one want to vomit after just one bite and having to do that day after day, over and over again.

One could only imagine how tormenting it would be.

By comparison, Eto had it much easier.

Because as a natural-born half-ghoul, she could eat normal food just like a human, and she had no problem consuming both human flesh and normal food.

"At that time, it might be very painful for you," Byakuya said to Minami, as he too had thought of this point.

Minami could guess what Byakuya was referring to, but her face showed no sign of fear, instead, her smile remained, "It's okay, something like that isn't a big deal to me."

Back when she wanted to blend into human society, to get along with other girls at school like a normal person, she had done that sort of thing plenty of times.

Once you mastered the technique, the pain was bearable.

Of course, by then, she wouldn't be able to just throw up the food.. 

Unlike before, when she could just pretend to eat in front of humans and then run to the bathroom to vomit it all out.

"Minami-chan, you're so strong!" Kirishima Hikari couldn't help but run over and hug Minami.

"Speaking of which, Byakuya-kun and Eto-san, when are you two planning to get married?" Hikari asked again.

"It was originally planned for around one month from now. If there are no unexpected changes, the date probably won't be moved," Byakuya said.

"That's great. Then are you planning to go with a human wedding ceremony, or a ghoul one?"

Human wedding ceremonies and ghoul ones were obviously different, which was why Arata and Hikari asked.

Compared to human weddings, ghoul wedding ceremonies were very simple and crude.

Because in the past, ghouls had absolutely no place in human society, and the vast majority couldn't possibly get married openly like humans did.

Getting legally married was even more out of the question, if their ghoul identity was at any point exposed in human society, it would only bring them danger.

Unless they were part of a ghoul family like the Tsukiyama Family, who had made a name for themselves among high society, ordinary humans didn't even know they were ghouls; then they could live as openly and lavishly as they pleased.

So for the majority, they could only perform their unique ghoul wedding rituals in secret. Kaneki Ken and Kirishima Touka in the original story were no exception to this either.

"As for that, Eto and I already talked it over, we'll go with the ghoul wedding ceremony," Byakuya said.

After all, neither he nor Eto were pure humans, and Yoshimura Kuzen was a full-blooded ghoul as well. If they were to go through a human wedding ceremony, it would feel a little awkward.

Besides, his understanding of human marriage customs was limited to those of his hometown from before he transmigrated. If he were to go through that kind of wedding ceremony with Eto and Kuzen, it would be even stranger.

I'm the end, there was nothing wrong with a ghoul wedding ceremony.

At the very least, both Byakuya, Eto, and Yoshimura Kuzen were all satisfied with it.
