The reason Kousen Yoshimura did not go himself this time was because Renji Yoshifora would also be involved, and Renji Yoshifora lived near Elementary School.
With Renji Yoshifora involved, Kousen Yoshimura felt there was no need for him to act.
"Kaneki, this operation is very dangerous. There's a high possibility of a fight with the White Heron. If you're not prepared for combat, I don't think you should go!" Kousen Yoshimura reminded Kaneki Ken straightforwardly at this moment.
In fact, Kousen Yoshimura was also somewhat concerned about Kaneki Ken undertaking such a dangerous task. It wasn't that he doubted Kaneki Ken's abilities, but rather that he felt Kaneki Ken lacked the necessary combat awareness and resolve.
"Manager, I must go this time, no matter what!" Kaneki Ken said firmly.
The death of Madam Ryoko had already placed immense pressure on Kaneki Ken's heart. If Hinami were to meet with misfortune as well, Kaneki Ken's spirit would truly shatter.
Because Kaneki Ken felt that Hinami must be blaming him, even though she hadn't said anything to his face. Therefore, Kaneki Ken believed he was largely responsible for Hinami's current state and her decision.
If Kaneki Ken had been able to protect Madam Ryoko that time, Hinami wouldn't have lost her mother. If Hinami hadn't lost her mother, then today's events wouldn't have happened.
"I'll go too!"
Masato Fueguchi also intended to go himself.
Kousen Yoshimura did not stop Masato Fueguchi this time. Afterward, Ryuuji, Kaneki Ken, and Masato Fueguchi changed their clothes, put on masks, and left Anteiku.
As the three quickly arrived at Elementary School, the school was already empty of students, and the gates were closed. Only the school guard was on duty.
"Is Hinami really inside the school?" Ryuuji asked himself.
"Entering through the main gate will likely be troublesome. Let's sneak over the wall," Ryuuji suggested.
Kaneki Ken and Masato Fueguchi had no objections. The three of them quickly sneaked into the school and began searching separately.
The school was very quiet. After searching the general area, the three of them found no trace of Hinami, nor did they encounter the White Heron.
Soon, Ryuuji, Kaneki Ken, and Masato Fueguchi regrouped. Ryuuji then said, "There are no signs of a struggle in the school. Either Hinami isn't here, or she's already been captured alive by the CCG!"
At this point, Ryuuji was inwardly anxious. It was already 6:30 PM, and the longer time dragged on, the greater Hinami's danger would become.
Hearing this, Kaneki Ken's mood also became very heavy.
Masato Fueguchi also became anxious. His daughter's message clearly indicated this place, yet there was no discovery at the school.
Then, Masato Fueguchi's mind flashed back to the drawing paper his daughter had written on. After pondering it repeatedly, Masato Fueguchi suddenly had an epiphany and said, "The sewer!"
"The sewer?!" Ryuuji asked in confusion, his gaze shifting to Masato Fueguchi.
"There's a sewer near Elementary School. Hinami's mother gave birth to Hinami in that sewer. At that time, I had just left my original organization and came to Ward 20 with nothing. So, her mother and I made do in that sewer for a while."
