Chapter 16 - 7

Ryoma smiled as he spoke, pulling out a chair and sitting across from Kaneki Ken. "Mind if I sit here?"
It wasn't because of the system's reward. He had already completed the god-tier choice. He could have just walked away.
But he didn't.
He simply wanted to talk to Kaneki Ken—no other reason.
"Of course! Please, go ahead," Kaneki replied, though his voice was slightly reserved.
His naturally introverted personality made it difficult for him to relax around strangers.
And on top of that, Ryoma was Kamishiro Rize's boyfriend. That fact alone made him feel an odd sense of pressure.
"You look like a student. Are you from Kamii University?" Ryoma asked, even though he already knew the answer.
He couldn't just act like he knew everything about Kaneki from the start. That would be suspicious.
Kamii University was the nearest school, so his question wouldn't seem out of place.
