Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: The Snow Woman’s Oath

"Refuse? Careful, or I’ll keep smacking that little butt of yours."

Kotone Asaba threatened her.

"Mm...!"

Yuki Kirisu was so frightened that she sat up.

"Ahem!"

Yuki Kirisu stopped joking around and said seriously, "You want to go to China, right? That’s simple. I’ll help you handle a work visa. But accordingly, you’ll need to work for them over there until you come back."

This was a requirement set between the two countries’ Public Safety agencies. As a Devil Hunter of Tokyo Public Safety, if Kotone Asaba wanted to go to China, he would need to work for the local Public Safety agency there. In other words, he would be under their supervision.

There was no rule saying he had to work for a certain length of time. Rather, he would work for as long as he stayed there. If he wanted to return, he could return at any time.

After all, Devil Hunters were too powerful. If they were left unsupervised, accidents could easily happen.

"That’s fine."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Then wait a few days or so. I’ll let you know once everything is ready."

Yuki Kirisu said.

"Okay. Sorry for the trouble."

After saying that, Kotone Asaba returned home.

"Reze, do you know the story of the Snow Woman?"

While sitting on the sofa and watching television, Kotone Asaba suddenly asked Reze.

"I do. The spirit from Japanese legend, right? Why?"

Reze said.

"Nothing. I was just curious."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Oh?"

Reze seemed to realize something. "Don’t tell me one of the two scents on you was the Snow Woman’s scent?"

She understood Koto quite well. Usually, he would not ask about such a random topic for no reason.

"It was..."

Kotone Asaba nodded, unable to deny it.

"I knew it. No wonder there were traces of snow on you before. Looks like you met the Snow Woman somewhere like a snowy mountain."

Reze was a little puzzled. "But does the Snow Woman really exist? Or did she appear in the real world in the form of a devil?"

"Exactly. So, to be precise, she’s the Snow Woman Devil."

Kotone Asaba said.

"There are actually different versions of the Snow Woman’s story, but they’re mostly consistent on a few things. She has astonishing beauty, her personality is gentle and devoted, and if she meets a human man she likes, she’ll be very faithful to him. But the moment you break your oath, she’ll kill you without mercy. She’s a very contradictory existence..."

Reze thought for a while. "So, were you chosen by the Snow Woman?"

"No wonder..."

Kotone Asaba now understood why the Snow Woman had been acting so strangely back then...

As for Reze’s question, he chose not to answer it. If he answered, that would be the same as telling her about the Snow Woman.

He still remembered that his oath with the Snow Woman was that he could not tell anyone what happened on the day they met.

"Oh, right. If the legend is true, then not too long from now, maybe in half a year, maybe in a few years, the Snow Woman will come looking for you."

Reze looked at him resentfully. "When that happens, the house will get even livelier."

Kotone Asaba could only smile awkwardly in apology.

He remembered that Little Gun and Pochita had not come out for fresh air in quite some time either. Since they were in his own home, there was nothing wrong with letting them out.

There was no need to worry about whether anyone was watching nearby, because Reze and Makima were both "experts" in that regard.

Pochita Affinity +5%.

Gun Devil Affinity +5%.

"Make more food today. Little Gun and Pochita need to eat too."

"Woof!"

"Woof!"

Little Gun had almost completely assimilated with Pochita, and now it also barked.

Makima no longer had any hostility toward Pochita either. Pochita’s dog-like appearance and behavior also helped it get along harmoniously with Makima.

As for Kobeni Higashiyama, although she had already learned about it before, it was still a little difficult for her to believe that the Gun Devil was living together with her, and even looked like a pet.

After all, the Gun Devil had killed so many people back then. It was a terrifying devil that almost everyone knew about.

Even now, Kobeni Higashiyama still did not really dare get too close to Little Gun.

"Kobeni, are you still afraid of Little Gun?"

Kotone Asaba asked.

"Mm... I’m sorry. I’m too much of a coward..."

Kobeni Higashiyama apologized quietly.

"What’s there to apologize for? Don’t worry. Little Gun has a contract with me now. It won’t casually hurt people anymore."

Then, Kotone Asaba picked Little Gun up. "How about this? I’ll hold it, and you can try touching it."

Even so, Kobeni Higashiyama was still somewhat afraid.

But she also tried to work up her courage.

Little Gun, held in Kotone Asaba’s arms, looked at Kobeni Higashiyama with innocent eyes. The expression on its face was cute and friendly too.

That gave Kobeni Higashiyama a little more courage. She slowly reached out toward Little Gun.

When Little Gun lifted its head and tried to rub against her hand, she was immediately frightened and pulled her hand back.

Only afterward did she realize that the other party had not actually meant any harm.

This time, Kobeni Higashiyama became much more determined. She boldly stretched her hand out quickly and gently stroked Little Gun’s head.

In order to avoid frightening Kobeni Higashiyama again, Little Gun did not move around.

At that, a lot of the fear in Kobeni Higashiyama’s heart immediately faded. She gently and carefully stroked it for quite a while.

However, she still was not brave enough to touch the gun on Little Gun’s head.

Reze, who had originally been watching from the side, came over at that moment and roughly rubbed Little Gun’s "dog head."

"Kobeni, you don’t need to be that careful. Look, no matter how I rub it, nothing happens."

As she spoke, Reze even directly put her hand on the gun on Little Gun’s head.

Little Gun let Kobeni Higashiyama and Reze rub it as they pleased. It knew that these two human women had a very good relationship with Kotone Asaba, so it was also very friendly toward them.

If it were an ordinary person who had nothing to do with Kotone Asaba, it might not go so far as to hurt them, but it would absolutely not let itself be messed with like this.

Gun Devil Affinity +5%.

Gun Devil Affinity progress has reached 60%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1.

Meanwhile, Pochita was slowly walking toward the balcony, seemingly wanting to look at the scenery outside the window.

At that moment, Pochita’s four feet suddenly lifted off the ground. Someone had picked it up.

That person was Makima. She held Pochita with both hands and seemed to sigh with emotion. "Chainsaw Man, your dream really is that simple. You only want to hug someone."

She had observed for so long and found that Chainsaw Man really had not changed back into his original form again. Or rather, he did not care about those things at all.

This was far too great a contrast with the Chainsaw Man from Hell before.

That Chainsaw Man in Hell had made almost every devil tremble, and even the Four Horsemen, including herself, had failed to defeat him when they joined forces. Now, he was being held in her hands like a stuffed pet, and he did not even resist.

"Wah?"

Pochita still pretended that it could not speak.

Makima also had always believed that Chainsaw Man could not speak, so after sighing for a while, she put Pochita back down.

Kotone Asaba saw this scene, but he only smiled faintly and said nothing.

A few days later.

Reze Affinity +5%.

Makima Affinity +5%.

Kobeni Higashiyama Affinity +5%.

Reze Affinity progress has reached 80%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1.

Makima Affinity progress has reached 70%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1.

Kobeni Higashiyama Affinity progress has reached 100%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1. Extra reward obtained: Constitution +5.

Finally, after Denji, Kobeni’s Affinity had also reached 100%.

Speaking of Denji, Kotone Asaba had also been paying attention to Denji’s situation from time to time. Previously, he had asked high-ranking Soviet military officials to send people to observe Denji at the experimental base.

Now, Denji was living quite happily, and he was growing closer and closer to the little girl named Elena. Denji’s dream of having a girlfriend was also about to come true soon.

So Kotone Asaba basically did not need to worry about Denji. He only needed to wait until Denji turned sixteen and fused with the Sword Devil’s heart to become a Hybrid. Then he could go bring Denji back.

And today, Yuki Kirisu’s call also came.

After learning that the work visa had been arranged, Kotone Asaba was more or less ready to set out.

Before leaving, Kotone Asaba said to Makima and the others, "I’m preparing to go to China, but I probably won’t need too much time."

His plan for this trip was mainly to activate Pingtsi’s Codex entry. As for Quanxi’s Codex entry, he was only going to see whether he could handle it along the way.

He did not have high hopes for Quanxi.

Of course, Kotone Asaba certainly had no intention of pursuing a romantic route. Even Kishibe and Quanxi could only end in tragedy. With someone this firmly attracted to women, developing a romantic route was basically impossible.

But even if it was only a friendship route, it felt like it would still be difficult.

All he could say was that he would try while he was there. If it did not work, then so be it. He did not want to delay too long over there.

"You’re going far away again? Why does it feel like you’re so busy all the time, Koto?"

Reze increasingly found it a little strange.

He was constantly going somewhere, running all over the world.

"This is a secret mission Tokyo Public Safety assigned to me."

Kotone Asaba explained.

Something like the Codex was a secret he could not tell anyone.

"After all, you’re so strong, Asaba. With great power comes great responsibility."

Kobeni Higashiyama said.

Such pure and kind Kobeni made Kotone Asaba feel both moved and ashamed. He immediately felt quite embarrassed.

"So during this period, if Tokyo Public Safety has any important missions that need to be carried out, I’ll have to leave them to you."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Fine. Those things are minor. Come back soon."

Reze said.

At this moment, Makima also said, "You have to come back every night. You have spatial teleportation, don’t you?"

"Mm, yeah. If I can come back at night, I definitely will."

Kotone Asaba nodded.

After saying goodbye, Kotone Asaba set out.

Yuki Kirisu had already arranged his flight in advance. Now he could directly go to the airport and wait for the plane.

Several hours later, Kotone Asaba arrived at his destination.

HK.

Because Pingtsi was currently located here, she had probably been transferred here recently.

After he got off the plane, someone came to pick him up, and it was none other than Pingtsi.

Codex activated: Pingtsi.

Reward obtained: Constitution +1.

Current Affinity: 50%.

Pingtsi Affinity progress has reached 10%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1.

...

Pingtsi Affinity progress has reached 50%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1.

Pingtsi’s Affinity was the same as the Snow Woman’s. The moment it activated, it was already at 50%.

Kotone Asaba was not too surprised by Pingtsi’s Affinity.

After all, he had already had some contact with Pingtsi and the Long Fiend before, and he felt that friendship-based Affinity was relatively easy to raise.

Because Kotone Asaba thought Pingtsi and the Long Fiend were both into women, he subconsciously assumed this would develop in the direction of friendship.

"Why did you suddenly come here?"

Pingtsi stood there with her hands on her hips and said to Kotone Asaba, "Did you miss me?"

"Yeah, yeah. I really did come to see you."

Kotone Asaba said honestly.

Pingtsi Affinity +5%.

But he had not expected that this casual, honest sentence would immediately increase Pingtsi’s Affinity a little.

Pingtsi’s originally proud little face flushed red, and a slightly shy cold sweat appeared on her face.

Pingtsi had only wanted to tease Kotone Asaba as a joke, but she had not expected Kotone Asaba to actually admit it. Instead, that made Pingtsi feel shy.

"Hmph. As expected, my charm really is high."

Pingtsi turned her face away, doing her best to hide her embarrassment.

"What are we doing next? Are you taking me directly to Public Safety?"

Kotone Asaba asked.

In reality, his main mission had already been completed. Not only had he activated Pingtsi’s Codex entry, but her Affinity was already above 50%, which meant a new Codex entry could be unlocked.

But he could not just immediately turn around and go back. At the very least, he had to activate Quanxi’s Codex entry.

"We’re going to handle some other procedures first, then report in. After reporting in, I’ll be responsible for helping you get familiar with this place today. We can go around and have some fun while we’re at it."

Pingtsi said.

Pingtsi brought Kotone Asaba to handle all kinds of complicated procedures.

On the way, Kotone Asaba checked the newly unlocked Codex entry.

By coincidence, the newly unlocked entry was the Long Fiend.

According to the detailed information, the Long Fiend had also been transferred to HK like Pingtsi.

Now there was something to do. The Long Fiend’s Codex entry also had to be activated.

"By the way, how is Long doing?"

Kotone Asaba asked Pingtsi naturally.

"Her? Normally, she can’t move around casually. Once we finish the procedures, we’ll go find her and bring her out to have fun with us."

Pingtsi said.
