Chapter 117

Furious at finding Tsukiyama there, Touka demands to know why he has brought Hinami along. He needles her by claiming Kaneki puts far more faith in him than in her, which only sharpens her temper. Before the quarrel can escalate, Hinami steps in and lays out that their shared purpose is to help Kaneki, while Nishiki cautions her about what Tsukiyama might really be planning. Once Nishiki is done, Tsukiyama sneers that neither of them can do anything worthwhile for Kaneki, then leaves with Hinami as Touka and Nishiki stand speechless.

With the beans for Yoshimura gathered, Nishiki offers Touka a look around Kamii University. She agrees to tag along, but he slips away partway through, leaving her to roam the grounds by herself.

As she drifts across the campus, she comes upon a young man who catches her attention.

Tsukiyama provokes Touka by insisting Kaneki trusts him over her, and Hinami defuses the confrontation. Tsukiyama dismisses the group's ability to aid Kaneki and exits with Hinami. After collecting the shop's coffee beans, Nishiki invites Touka to tour Kamii University but ditches her midway. Left alone, Touka encounters a stranger, later revealed to be Furuta, whom she momentarily takes for Kaneki.

The Japanese title 乾田 (Kanden) translates as Dry Field, listed here as Dry Rice Field. An old alternate reading of those same characters spells out Furuta, a fitting nod to the man Touka mistakes for Kaneki at the chapter's close. The chapter appears in Volume 12 and ran in the 2014-14 issue on March 6, 2014.
