Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Sleeping with Makima

After dinner.

Kotone Asaba went to wash the dishes as usual. At that moment, Makima also followed him into the kitchen.

"Why did you come in too?"

Kotone Asaba could not help asking.

"To observe the daily behavior of you humans."

Makima said.

"Oh, that. Right now, I’m washing the tableware. This is something we do after every meal, unless we eat outside."

Kotone Asaba explained it to Makima.

Makima nodded.

After that, she quietly observed from slightly behind Kotone Asaba, not disturbing him in the slightest.

After the dishes were washed and put away, Kotone Asaba wanted to go to the bathroom, only for Makima to follow him again.

"Uh... you don’t need to watch me use the bathroom, all right?"

At the bathroom door, Kotone Asaba spoke awkwardly to Makima behind him.

"Why?"

Makima’s expression shifted from completely blank to a somewhat innocent daze. She tilted her head slightly, as though she did not understand why there was anything wrong with watching.

"How should I put this... basically, normal humans have a sense of shame, and going to the bathroom is related to that..."

As he spoke, Kotone Asaba pointed downward at himself.

He was already doing his best to explain it to Makima.

Makima’s gaze followed Kotone Asaba’s hand downward. After a while, she understood.

"So you mean excretion."

"Ahem... so, don’t follow me in. You might not feel embarrassed, but I will."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Mm."

Makima returned to the sofa and went back to reading.

Just as Kotone Asaba finished using the bathroom and placed his hand on the doorknob, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?"

"Koto, are you coming back tonight? If you’re not, I’ll go to Sawatari’s place. I’ll also help her sort out the rental issue."

Reze’s voice came from the other side of the call.

"Renting? Oh, she wants to rent a different place, right? Yeah, go help her. As for me, I probably won’t be able to come back tonight..."

"As expected, it’s something important again. Go take care of it, Koto. I won’t bother you."

After saying that, Reze hung up.

Kotone Asaba also came out of the bathroom and saw Makima sitting on the sofa reading again.

"Is there someone else at home?"

Clearly, Makima had heard Kotone Asaba talking on the phone just now.

"No. Just now, I was using my cell phone to talk to someone."

Kotone Asaba immediately took out his phone.

"It’s this little thing. It lets you talk to people far away in other places."

"A cell phone..."

Makima memorized this human object.

"Speaking of which, there’s also a tiny trace of the Chainsaw Devil’s scent here..."

At that moment, Makima suddenly said that.

"You can even smell that...?"

Kotone Asaba was a little dumbfounded. Makima’s nose was way too sensitive.

"So you really do have a close relationship with the Chainsaw Devil, don’t you?"

Makima said expressionlessly.

It was completely impossible to tell what Makima was feeling right now.

"Yes."

At this point, Kotone Asaba could only admit it.

"Do not get too close to the Chainsaw Devil, and do not ask the Chainsaw Devil for help. This is a family rule."

Makima’s tone sounded slightly commanding.

The term "family rule" was something she had just seen in a book.

"This..."

Kotone Asaba immediately felt as though he had seen the Makima he was familiar with.

She gave him no choice at all. It was practically a command.

"All right. I won’t get too close to the Chainsaw Devil, and I absolutely won’t ask the Chainsaw Devil for help."

Kotone Asaba promised Makima.

In any case, Makima was talking about the Chainsaw Devil. What did that have to do with Pochita?

It did not stop him from being close to Pochita.

What surprised Kotone Asaba a little was that after Makima stated that family rule, she did not say anything else. She did not ask where the Chainsaw Devil was.

That was good news. It meant that the current Makima cared more about family than single-mindedly hunting down the Chainsaw Devil.

These books really were good things. He could let Makima read more of them.

"How about going to the bookstore with me tonight to buy some books you want to read? You can choose them yourself."

Kotone Asaba immediately said to Makima.

"Okay. We can go now."

After Makima marked her page with a bookmark, she closed the book in her hands.

After that, Kotone Asaba went out with Makima and headed to a nearby bookstore.

Walking down the street, the gazes of quite a few passersby were drawn toward them.

Of course, that was mainly because of Makima’s beauty, though Kotone Asaba’s good looks also played a part.

Aside from her eyes being different from ordinary people’s, Makima basically looked no different from a normal human.

The eyes were not a big deal either. Kotone Asaba’s eyes were also very special, but not to the point that people would suspect him of being a Fiend.

Once they arrived at the bookstore, Kotone Asaba let Makima choose books herself while he simply accompanied her at the side.

After spending quite a bit of time, Makima selected more than ten books in one go.

Since books in Japan were quite expensive, the bookstore cashier was rather surprised to see a customer buy so many books at once.

But when she saw the other customer beside her wearing a Public Safety uniform, she understood. So it was a wealthy patron who did not lack money.

After returning home, Makima went to read, while Kotone Asaba entered the Kamui dimension.

He said to Pochita, who was playing games, "Pochita, someone called the Control Devil came looking for you."

Hearing the name Control Devil, Pochita’s body immediately stiffened slightly.

Little Gun had no idea what the Control Devil was and looked at Pochita with a confused expression.

"But it’s fine. She can’t get in here. For now, you and Little Gun should just stay in the Kamui dimension obediently. She still has no idea where you are."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Woof, woof!"

Pochita barked while nodding.

Clearly, it felt that the Control Devil was very troublesome and did not want to come into contact with her.

"All right, you two keep playing. I’ll keep dealing with her."

After saying that, Kotone Asaba left the Kamui dimension.

Just now, he had not gotten close to Pochita. As long as he did not make intimate contact with Pochita, he would not pick up any scent, so he did not need to worry about Makima smelling it.

Sensing that Kotone Asaba had returned, Makima raised her head to look at him.

"Darling."

Makima suddenly opened her mouth with that one word, nearly startling Kotone Asaba.

Although there was not the slightest emotion mixed into that word, hearing it come from Makima’s mouth still shocked him deeply.

"That nickname... don’t tell me you learned it from a book?"

Kotone Asaba could not help asking.

"Mm. The book said that family members can call each other that."

Makima felt she needed a way to address Kotone Asaba. She had happened to see it in a book earlier, so she used it directly.

"No, that doesn’t apply to all family members. To be more precise, it’s a term lovers use to address each other."

Kotone Asaba seriously explained it to Makima.

"Lovers?"

Makima seemed temporarily unclear on what lovers meant.

"Is that related to what you humans call love?"

"More or less. Usually, a man and woman who have confirmed that kind of relationship are lovers."

Kotone Asaba said.

"You are male. From a human perspective, I am female. Then we are lovers within the category of family."

Makima thought it through.

"No, no, the important point of whether two people are lovers lies in whether both sides have love for each other."

Kotone Asaba corrected her further.

"This emotion called love is something only you humans have. I truly cannot feel it yet. Then do you have love for me?"

Makima asked Kotone Asaba very directly.

Being stared at so fixedly by Makima’s golden ringed eyes, Kotone Asaba actually felt a little embarrassed.

"Love... isn’t something that appears so quickly. I only met you less than a day ago. If I had to say it, even our family relationship isn’t really that established yet..."

"I see. The relationship between lovers is deeper than family, and lovers are also included within family."

Makima said.

"That’s right."

Kotone Asaba nodded.

"I understand. Then I’ll still call you Darling. Your name feels a little long to say."

Makima said.

"..."

Kotone Asaba immediately felt that his long explanation just now had been completely wasted. But to be honest, it was not as if he disliked the way she called him that, so he let Makima do as she pleased.

It was about time to sleep.

Kotone Asaba took a bath and prepared to sleep, only to find that Makima was already lying in his blanket.

"Why are you sleeping here? There are other rooms at home."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Aren’t family members supposed to sleep together?"

Makima asked Kotone Asaba in return.

"...No, that depends on the situation too."

Kotone Asaba immediately understood that this was something Makima had seen in a book again.

He remembered that when they were at the bookstore, Makima had indeed picked out a book with a romance story in it. He had not paid it much attention at the time, but unexpectedly...

"We sleep together. This is an order."

Although Makima was lying down, that sentence still sounded very intimidating.

Of course, she was simply used to saying things this way, or rather, it was a verbal habit. She did not truly intend to use her control ability on Kotone Asaba.

Kotone Asaba really was almost frightened, but he quickly realized that it was a false alarm.

"All right, all right."

Kotone Asaba immediately got into the blanket. In any case, he was not losing out.

Even if Makima’s current direction of growth was a little strange, it was still countless times better than being brainwashed by the Cabinet into an irredeemable villain.

"Speaking of which, do devils need to sleep? Or do humanoid devils need to sleep?"

Before falling asleep, Kotone Asaba casually chatted with Makima.

"No. It should be the same principle as eating. Devils do not need sleep to recover energy like humans do, but I want to live like a human."

Makima answered.

"Got it."

Kotone Asaba replied. In short, she could sleep if she wanted to, and it did not matter if she did not.

"One more question that doesn’t really matter. I’m just curious. Aside from you, aren’t there three other Horsemen? I remember they are War, Famine, and Death. Are you sisters with them?"

Kotone Asaba had been curious about this question back in his previous life.

All he knew was that Famine called War her little sister, while War called Famine a crazy woman.

He was a little curious whether Makima really was the youngest sister.

"A sister relationship? We do not have that concept, but from a human perspective, perhaps it counts."

Makima said.

"I see."

Kotone Asaba roughly understood. Famine probably called War her little sister because she had been influenced by human society.

That night, Kotone Asaba actually did not touch Makima at all.

Although he knew that if he held Makima while sleeping, there would probably be a miraculous effect, he did not want to deliberately raise her Affinity that way. He was actually quite enjoying the natural process of developing things with Makima.

The next morning, Makima woke up earlier than Kotone Asaba.

She got out of bed almost silently and did not wake Kotone Asaba. She planned to personally make breakfast, which was also something she had seen in a book.

A few minutes later...

Kotone Asaba was already half-asleep and half-awake, likely to wake up at any moment.

At that moment, he suddenly smelled something burning and immediately opened his eyes.

Why was there a burnt smell?

Kotone Asaba glanced over and saw that Makima was no longer in bed. He immediately got up to check the situation.

Then he discovered the mess in the kitchen.

In truth, the other things were not much of a problem. What concerned him most was the blood everywhere.

He could see many wounds on Makima’s hands. Those bloodstains had clearly come from them.

"Your hands... is this because you don’t know how to use a kitchen knife?"

Seeing Makima’s hands covered in wounds and still bleeding heavily, Kotone Asaba immediately felt distressed.

"Mm. It was my first time using one. When I cut vegetables too quickly, I kept cutting my hands."

Makima’s face was still completely expressionless, as though she could not feel pain at all.

"You don’t need to rush with this. Take it slowly and you’ll get used to it soon."

As he spoke, Kotone Asaba cut open a wound on his own forearm.

"Drink my blood. That way, the wounds on your hands will recover quickly."

Makima’s hand injuries were quite severe. She definitely had a sense of pain and simply did not show it on her face. Also, setting aside her control ability, Makima’s body was as fragile as a human’s and did not possess any special self-recovery ability.

"Mm."

Makima immediately sucked on the cut on Kotone Asaba’s forearm with her mouth. Part of her loose long hair also fell onto Kotone Asaba’s arm.

Because Kotone Asaba’s blood was extremely special, Makima did not drink much before the wounds on her hands immediately healed.

After drinking Kotone Asaba’s blood, Makima was inwardly surprised. Human blood was actually this delicious?

This was her first time drinking human blood, and its level of deliciousness exceeded her expectations.

Even so, Makima did not drink more. Once she felt that the injuries on her hands had mostly healed, she stopped, even helping Kotone Asaba lick away the remaining blood from the wound.

"Is all human blood like this, or is Darling’s blood special?"

As soon as she let go, Makima asked.

"Uh... my blood is special."

Kotone Asaba was still a little unused to being called Darling by Makima, even though Makima said the word darling without any emotion.
