Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: I’ll Be Your Family

Kotone Asaba’s pupils contracted as realization dawned on him.

Makima, who had only just come to the human world, still did not know what family was. But after seeing those stories related to family, she had become deeply interested in it.

Looking at it that way, Makima’s initial dream was not to establish an equal relationship like a family. Rather, after coming into contact with human society and learning about the relationship known as "family," that dream had formed afterward.

"Who said humans and devils can’t become family?"

Kotone Asaba immediately refuted Makima.

In the original story, it was precisely because Makima felt that it was impossible to achieve an equal relationship like family, combined with being brainwashed, that she developed those extreme ideas.

He had to nip those things in the bud and make Makima understand that it was possible.

"Because humans and devils are mortal enemies."

Makima said.

"There’s no inevitable connection between those things. Humans and devils can become family too. I have an example like that right beside me."

Kotone Asaba said.

The example he was talking about was naturally Angel and Karana. Those two were just one step away from getting married outright.

"Can you take me to see them?"

Makima became interested.

In her eyes, the idea that humans and devils could become family was somewhat difficult to believe.

However, what she pursued was an even more demanding equal relationship. For humans and devils, who ultimately had a barrier between them, that was even harder to achieve.

"Take you to see them? It’s not very convenient for now..."

Kotone Asaba looked a little awkward.

If he wanted to take Makima to Angel, the most convenient method would be to transfer there through the Kamui dimension. But Pochita was inside the Kamui dimension, so it was definitely not suitable to let Makima meet Pochita right now.

And if he did not use the Kamui dimension, it would be far too troublesome by comparison.

"But if you really want to go, then when we take the plane, we can fly there first. Actually, you know that devil too. He’s the Angel Devil."

Kotone Asaba said to Makima.

"Angel? He became family with a human?"

Of course Makima knew the Angel Devil. After all, he was one of the Chainsaw Devil’s followers.

She also knew what kind of ability the Angel Devil had. For that kind of ability to not make humans afraid or resistant, but instead allow him to become family with one, was surprising.

"That’s right. Like you, he has a relatively high fondness for humans. After coming to the human world, he has never harmed a human. The humans who live with him are also very kind and simple. Even knowing full well that he’s a devil, they don’t discriminate against him or reject him."

Kotone Asaba explained.

"Then when we take the plane, we’ll go there. I want to see what the family relationship between Angel and a human is like."

Makima said.

"Sure. We’ll go buy plane tickets in a bit. As for the Husky’s transport, we won’t handle that anymore. My ability can temporarily hide it inside my eye."

Kotone Asaba said.

Pet transport had to be handled two days before departure. He did not want to wait another two days, so he planned to simply put the Husky inside the Kamui dimension.

There was also no need to worry about whether the Husky had been controlled by Makima. In any case, control would be cut off inside the Kamui dimension.

"Mm."

Makima did not care about the ability Kotone Asaba mentioned. She would never imagine that the Chainsaw Devil was actually inside Kotone Asaba’s eye.

After that, Kotone Asaba and Makima went to the airport together.

Kotone Asaba carried nothing with him. Makima, on the other hand, brought several books, all of which were related to family or ones she had not read yet.

"Put these books in my eye too. Whenever you want to read them, I can take them out for you."

As he spoke, Kotone Asaba transferred the Husky and the books into the Kamui dimension.

He deliberately locked the Husky inside a cage and transferred it to a spot in the Kamui dimension that was far away from Little Gun and Pochita.

That was to prevent that dumb Husky from running off and provoking Little Gun and Pochita.

However, halfway there, Kotone Asaba suddenly remembered that Makima had no identification. There was no way to buy her a plane ticket.

After thinking about it, he could only pull off a special operation.

Kotone Asaba immediately transferred himself back to the home from earlier, let Little Gun and Pochita out, and instructed them, "Wait here for me for a while."

Then he immediately returned to Makima’s side.

"Close your eyes. I can take you directly to the Angel Devil."

Makima did not hesitate, nor did she think too much about it. She obediently closed her eyes.

Kotone Asaba then brought Makima into the Kamui dimension with him, to a location far away from the place where Pochita was usually found, ensuring that Makima would not smell the scent Pochita had left behind.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the tribe where Angel lived.

In the next instant, Kotone Asaba returned to his home in Moscow and sucked Little Gun and Pochita back into the Kamui dimension, then transferred back to Makima’s side.

This series of transfers back and forth caused him no small amount of strain.

At this moment, Makima had not yet opened her eyes.

"All right, we’re here. This is where the Angel Devil lives."

Kotone Asaba said to Makima.

Only then did Makima open her eyes. What entered her vision was a beautiful sea view.

"What a beautiful place."

Makima spoke.

Not far away, Angel was playing in the sand with Karana, piling the sand into a small castle.

When Kotone Asaba and Makima approached, Angel also noticed that Kotone Asaba had returned.

"You’re back. Is this your friend?"

Angel looked at the unfamiliar face beside Kotone Asaba and asked.

"Yeah. She’s my friend. Her name is Makima. She said she wanted to come here and take a look."

Kotone Asaba answered.

At this moment, he and Angel were speaking English, but Makima could understand them too.

"Friend? Are we already friends?"

Makima asked Kotone Asaba expressionlessly.

From the books, she had learned that the relationship between friends was second only to the relationship between family.

"Are we not? I’ve helped you quite a bit, after all. I think we can already be considered friends."

Actually, Kotone Asaba had only casually answered Angel’s question just now. He had not expected Makima to dwell on this. In that case, he should insist on that relationship even more firmly.

Makima thought for a moment, then said nothing more. Instead, she looked at Angel.

"You’re Angel. Is this human girl your family?"

"Family? Yes. Everyone here is my family, especially Karana."

Angel nodded seriously.

"I see..."

Makima nodded faintly.

Karana looked up at Angel and the others, completely unable to understand what they were saying, but she was very well-behaved and did not interrupt their conversation.

Although devils had relatively sensitive noses, Angel did not notice that Makima was also a devil.

There were probably two reasons. First, his nose was not as sensitive as Makima’s. Second, Makima concealed her own scent very well.

At the very least, Makima could smell that Kotone Asaba was a Hybrid, while Angel could not.

At that moment, Makima said to Kotone Asaba in Japanese, "I want to observe their behavior here."

"That’s up to you, as long as you don’t do anything reckless."

Kotone Asaba said.

He was only worried that Makima might forcibly control Angel like she had in the original story. The facts proved that he had worried too much. Makima did not have that intention. She only cared about the family relationship between Angel and Karana.

"You and Karana keep playing."

Kotone Asaba said that to Angel, then brought Makima to sit on a rock not far away.

They seemed to be looking at the scenery, but in reality, they were observing Angel and Karana’s actions.

They observed them for a long time.

During that time, Angel and Karana not only played in the sand, but also chased each other, splashed in the water, fooled around, and did many other things. Angel’s happy smile and Karana’s shy joy were all taken in by Makima.

"So this is family..."

Makima murmured.

There truly did not seem to be any barrier between Angel and that human girl named Karana. Makima felt somewhat drawn to that feeling.

"How does it feel?"

Kotone Asaba asked Makima.

"It feels wonderful. I also want to experience the feeling of equality like family."

Makima said this from the bottom of her heart.

"If it’s family, then can’t I become your family?"

Kotone Asaba said, "As for equality, you don’t control me, and I don’t fear you. Isn’t that enough?"

Hearing that, Makima immediately turned her head to look at Kotone Asaba and met his eyes.

"I truly don’t want to control you, and I also can’t control you."

In her eyes, she did not think Kotone Asaba was beneath her.

"Right? Then let me be your family. What do you think?"

Kotone Asaba said with a smile.

[Makima Affinity +10%]

[Makima Affinity progress has reached 20%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1]

On the surface, he had fulfilled Makima’s dream. In reality, that was not the case. What mattered more was how they got along as family afterward, so the Affinity increase this time was not all that large.

"Okay."

Makima looked straight at Kotone Asaba and answered without the slightest hesitation.

As a devil, Makima did not have human emotions such as shyness or embarrassment. She simply longed for an equal family relationship.

Naturally, she also did not have an emotion like romantic love. Most likely, it would develop into an instinctive desire to control, or rather, possessiveness.

As for whether she would develop such emotions later after coming into contact with humans, that was hard to say.

Kotone Asaba knew what Nayuta was like in the original story. Makima, who was also the Control Devil, would have the same traits.

He knew full well that the Control Devil would instinctively develop a desire to control her family, but he still had to do this. If he did not guide Makima onto the right path, it would become a huge problem.

"Do you still want to keep observing here? Or should we go home?"

Kotone Asaba asked.

"Let’s watch a little longer."

Makima wanted to understand Angel and Karana more, so she could more fully know what family members were supposed to do with one another.

"Mm."

As soon as Kotone Asaba’s words fell, he immediately disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared at the home in Moscow and temporarily left Little Gun and Pochita there again, instructing the two little ones not to run around.

Then he returned to Makima’s side. Once Makima had observed enough, he brought her back to his home in Tokyo.

Just like before, he then put Little Gun and Pochita back into the Kamui dimension.

Although this was both troublesome and exhausting, Kotone Asaba had no choice but to do it.

"This is Tokyo, Japan now. This is also my home, though it’s rented."

Kotone Asaba said, "Speaking of which, I feel like I should buy a house too."

With the money he currently had, he had enough to buy a villa in Tokyo. However, after buying it, he would not have much left.

In truth, it was not difficult for Public Safety Devil Hunters to buy a house or even a villa. Himeno, for example, lived in a villa she bought herself. Aki Hayakawa only kept living in the dorm arranged by Public Safety because he lived frugally. Otherwise, he would not have left behind so much inheritance in the original story.

Kotone Asaba planned to look for villas in Tokyo when he had time.

At this moment, Makima thought that family members generally lived together.

So...

"This is my home too now."

Makima suddenly said that.

Good grief.

Kotone Asaba inwardly sighed. As expected of the Control Devil, the moment she arrived, she considered his things hers too.

He immediately transferred the Husky and those books out of the Kamui dimension.

Makima focused entirely on continuing to read.

It was not early anymore, so Kotone Asaba went to prepare dinner.

In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with bringing Makima to Tokyo. As long as Makima did not take the initiative to contact the Japanese Cabinet, it would be fine.

In truth, it would be the same no matter where they were. As long as Makima wanted to contact the officials of any country, there was a high chance she would be led astray. However, using citizens as the price for a contract was probably something only Japan would do.

That was different from the United States using one year of its citizens’ lifespans to make a contract with the Gun Devil. The damage Makima’s contract caused to citizens had no limit.

In the end, the main reason Makima would be brainwashed was because at first, she only wanted to hunt down the Chainsaw Devil. In order to obtain enough power, she went and made a contract with the Cabinet.

Kotone Asaba wondered whether satisfying Makima’s dream could reduce her desire to hunt down Pochita.

"Sitting together to eat is also something family members commonly do."

Kotone Asaba placed some food into Makima’s bowl for her, because Makima was still somewhat clumsy with chopsticks.

Makima nodded faintly. This was knowledge that had not been mentioned in the books.

After all, it was far too basic.

At that moment, Makima imitated Kotone Asaba’s behavior. Using her still-unskilled chopstick technique, she also picked up some food and placed it into Kotone Asaba’s bowl.

"..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Kotone Asaba froze for a moment.

Perhaps because Makima from the original story had left such a deep impression on him, the contrast with the Makima before him was too strong.

Makima, before being led astray by the Japanese Cabinet, really was not much different from Nayuta after all.

It could not be said that Nayuta and the current Makima had no scheming ability. Rather, in front of family, there was no need for it. Besides, the Control Devil’s personality was naturally more direct.

"We are family. The food you make is also my food."

At that moment, Makima spoke.

"..."

Although Kotone Asaba had expected this, he was still a little worried about the future.
