65"Ummm, I think Kaneki won," Hide said.
"You're biased!" Touka yelled. "We need someone who isn't biased!"
"No one else knows about this conversation!" Kaneki reminded her. "Now accept it!"
"I'll figure out something! Now get your ass over here and let me see the raincoats!" she spat.
"Why do you wanna see the raincoat?" Kaneki asked her.
"Because I had to tell you where to find them, dammit!" Touka yelled. "That and your head is so full of nikujaga you've probably picked one that's puke yellow!"
"You're the one who actually eats nikujaga! That stuff is so disgusting!" he hissed.
"It is indeed, but at least I'm brave enough to eat it, you pinhead!"
"The insult contest is over, or did you not hear, galla?" Kaneki said.
"Guy-yah? What kind of a word is that?" Touka said. "Sounds like something you just made up."
"The Spanish word for cooked chicken, you fat dirt!"
"So I'm not only a chicken but a cooked chicken. You've finally figured out how to make an insult! I'm such a proud teacher!" Touka crooned.
"Oh, I know how to make an insult. I just don't want to school anyone. Like you, for example." Kaneki half-deadpanned.
"Alright. Arima, pause the video." Washuu said.
I still wanna know when I got hired to be the tech guy.
"I think the comments about nikujaga are lining up with the theory the two are ghouls. Anyone else want to comment?" Washuu asked.
"Pretty good odds they are- what's the likelihood of two friends both hating nikujaga?" Arima said, hoping he didn't look like he was anything other than cool and collected. Arima didn't know it, but he succeeded.
"Better than the odds of all three of them hating nikujaga. I think we have proof by now that at least the arguers are ghouls. The question is, what do you think of the blondie?" Kurosawa asked.
"Not sure. If he's a ghoul, then it would be surprising if he isn't a deadly one and hasn't joined the two in incidents around the twentieth ward. If he's human, then why is he still alive, and does he know what his friends are?" Shinohara asked.
"I agree with Shinohara. SS is a rating that signifies an investigator-killer. Ghouls with ratings that high tend to hang out with more powerful ghouls- H rate and above- so we should've heard of a blonde ghoul by now working as an ally of Rabbit and Eyepatch. But a human would be dead within seconds trapped by those two, so while I believe they are ghouls, I don't think they're the ghouls we're looking for. What do you guys think?" Marude suggested.
"I don't know. Maybe the two ghouls are toying with him, letting him live without knowing exactly what they are, or maybe he does know that they are ghouls- simply not which ghouls they are." the head of the research department said.
"Is there any more of this video, Arima-sama?" Juuzou asked. Everyone turned to stare at him. He simply watched Arima expectantly. Arima sighed under his breath, wondering why he had to work with a guy a slug would call idiot. Arima almost smiled as he checked the projector- the ghouls' insult contest was wearing off on him, and result was going to be hilarious. In fact, he'd have to check the internet to see if galla actually meant cooked chicken in Spanish.
"About ten seconds. I don't think anything much happened in those ten seconds." Arima told him.
And here's the anticlimactic ending. I might do a last chapter about the fight, and have Kuroiwa or somebody reference the video, and I might also do a sequel in which Quinx minus Sasaki sees the video, but don't expect them on any kind of schedule.
Galla doesn't mean cooked chicken, by the way. I never said Kaneki speaks Spanish. Galla can mean 'bird' or 'girl', I'm assuming like 'chick' is American slang for girl.
