With the experience of removing the bullet, and having already shared more than one kiss, Touka Kirishima naturally accepted Ryuuji's attentive care.
After Ryuuji entered her room, Touka Kirishima directly took off her top and lay down on the floor, saying, "Let's begin!"
She lay down to prevent any medicinal liquid applied to the wound from spilling elsewhere.
Ryuuji took a brief look and then opened the first-aid kit, starting to disinfect Touka Kirishima's wound with iodine and alcohol from the kit.
After disinfecting, Ryuuji did not bandage the wound. Instead, he said, "Touka-chan, don't wear clothes tonight, and don't cover the wound with the quilt. I'll come back tomorrow morning. You don't need to come to work tomorrow; I've already requested leave from the manager for you! Just stay in your room and rest well over the weekend!"
After giving Touka Kirishima her instructions, Ryuuji left her room, took a shower, and returned to his own room to rest.
The next day
Twenty minutes before work, Ryuuji knocked on Touka Kirishima's door. A moment later, Touka Kirishima, rubbing her sleepy eyes, opened the door.
Then, Ryuuji entered Touka Kirishima's room and treated her wound again, this time bandaging it.
After bandaging the wound, Touka Kirishima found some clothes to put on. Clearly, if not for the wound, Touka Kirishima would not have been in front of Ryuuji like this.
After finishing, Ryuuji went downstairs to open the shop and begin the day's work.
Because Ryuuji had taken the day off yesterday, the other staff at the shop had a general idea of what he had been doing.
Although Kaneki Ken was simple-minded, he had asked Kousen Yoshimura about Ryuuji's absence yesterday and learned why Ryuuji had suddenly taken the day off.
Therefore, when Ryuuji came to work today, he was questioned by Kaneki Ken.
"Senior Ryuuji, did you really go after the White Heron with Touka-chan yesterday?" Kaneki Ken asked in a low voice while wiping coffee cups at the counter.
Enji Koma also overheard Kaneki Ken's question and came closer, asking, "Brother Ryuuji, did you take care of the White Heron who killed Miss Ryoko? How is Touka-chan? Why isn't she at work today?"
"No, Touka Kirishima was injured and is resting in her room now." Ryuuji did not feel ashamed of the failed assassination attempt and directly stated the situation.
Hearing this, Kaneki Ken became a little nervous and asked further, "Is Touka seriously injured?"
"She was shot in the shoulder. The bullet contained an Rc inhibitor, so the wound cannot heal temporarily, and her Kagune cannot be used for a while. She needs to rest for a period to fully recover!" Ryuuji explained the situation clearly and directly.
Hearing this, Kaneki Ken finally felt relieved. Enji Koma then said, "It seems I need to personally make some coffee and visit Touka-chan!"
"Mr. Koma, I'll go with you!" Kaneki Ken chimed in at this moment.
"Certainly!" Enji Koma replied without any objection.
Ryuuji had no objections to them visiting Touka Kirishima and didn't say much, nor did he intend to join them.
Although Nishio Nishiki knew that Ryuuji and Touka Kirishima had gone to trouble the White Heron yesterday, Nishio Nishiki didn't seem too concerned about the matter. Instead, he quietly watched the news program playing on the television.
