Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Encountering the Gender-Swap Devil

After lunch, they rested for a while.

As they walked down the street, Pingtsi said, "We actually have a lot of free time today for once. Let’s go have some fun at an amusement park."

"Mm! Mm!"

Long seemed very interested and nodded repeatedly.

"Sure. Let’s see if there are any interesting attractions."

Kotone Asaba said.

Although he had gone to an amusement park in Tokyo once before, he had not gone on many attractions back then, and halfway through, they had run into the Labyrinth Devil. This time, they could look for something new to try.

"Then it’s settled."

Pingtsi said.

On the way to the amusement park, Kotone Asaba flipped to page sixteen of the Codex.

He discovered that the entry he had unlocked was Cosmo.

Cosmo, also known as the Cosmos Fiend, could charge up and unleash a Halloween ability similar to a Kamehameha, causing the target’s brain to know nothing but "Halloween" forever until death. In Kotone Asaba’s words, it was a psychic ability.

It was the perfect counter to Master, who possessed a piece of the Darkness Devil’s flesh. The biggest drawback of that ability was that it took too long to charge. Master only got hit because she did not understand the Cosmos Fiend’s ability and was caught off guard.

Otherwise, she would have been fully capable of dodging or attacking while Cosmo was still charging.

Just like Makima, who killed Cosmo the moment she tried to activate her ability, giving her no chance to finish charging at all.

But why was the newly unlocked entry another woman who liked women?

In Kotone Asaba’s memory, Quanxi and her four Fiend companions were all lesbians.

In his opinion, the reason Pingtsi and Long’s Affinity had risen so quickly was mainly because these two had not yet met Quanxi. Otherwise, they would cling to Quanxi nonstop. Forget raising their Affinity, he probably would not even have the chance to interact with them.

As for Cosmo, according to the Codex information, she was already in Hong Kong. For all he knew, she had already become close friends with Quanxi. If that was the case, the difficulty would increase sharply.

Kotone Asaba sighed softly. He could only take things one step at a time...

...

They arrived at the amusement park. Kotone Asaba was mainly there to accompany Pingtsi and Long.

So they focused on the attractions the two of them wanted to try.

After they tried several attractions, it was almost evening.

Both Pingtsi and Long’s Affinity had increased, especially Long’s. She clearly liked the amusement park more.

Unfortunately, there were no especially thrilling attractions. They could only enjoy the atmosphere and a little bit of entertainment.

At the end, they went to take some flashy souvenir photos.

"Let’s each take one first, then take one together."

Pingtsi said.

Kotone Asaba was walking in front, so he went first.

It was actually just an ordinary photo. Afterward, they could choose some flashy effects themselves. It was only because camera technology in this era was not very advanced. It was not like his previous life, where any decent phone could take a clear selfie.

"Smile."

Hearing the staff member in charge of taking the photo, Kotone Asaba actually had no idea how to smile naturally when asked to do it on purpose.

Still, he forced out a slight smile.

Click!

But after the photo was taken, Kotone Asaba suddenly felt that something was strange about his body.

It felt like something had disappeared from him, and for some reason, his hair had suddenly grown much longer.

Holy crap?!

Kotone Asaba’s eyes immediately widened, as if he had realized something.

"Don’t take your photos yet!"

Kotone Asaba left those words for Pingtsi and Long, then hurriedly ran to the bathroom.

"Wh-what happened?"

Kotone Asaba’s sudden reaction left Pingtsi stunned.

But Kotone Asaba had already run far away. No one answered her confusion.

Also... Asaba’s hair had not been that long before, had it? His voice seemed to have changed a little too.

The situation felt very strange. There was no point waiting there, so Pingtsi simply pulled Long along and chased after him. "Come on. Let’s go see what happened to him."

At that moment, Kotone Asaba had already reached the area outside the bathroom and was looking at himself in the sink mirror.

He discovered that not only had his hair grown longer, it had also become softer and smoother. Even the shape of his face had changed a little.

His facial features had mostly stayed the same, but his face had become more delicate and tapered. His features had already been on the handsome, refined side to begin with. Now, he looked like a woman.

However, the one thing worth being thankful for was that his family jewels were still there.

If even those were gone, then he would truly break down.

But what Kotone Asaba could not be certain of was whether his body would continue changing step by step...

What the hell happened?!

Kotone Asaba was completely dumbfounded.

Was it because of the photo just now?

Basically, after the photo was taken, he had suddenly changed sex.

At that moment, Pingtsi and Long caught up as well.

"What exactly happened...?"

Pingtsi had just started asking when she saw Kotone Asaba turn around. Her voice abruptly stopped.

The Kotone Asaba in front of her had changed from a boy into a girl?

"Asaba... you... weren’t you a man?"

Pingtsi asked with a stunned expression.

But Kotone Asaba’s current appearance suddenly made something stir in her heart. She did not understand what that feeling was. She only thought it felt very strange and wonderful.

Long also wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her. She rubbed them hard, but even after rubbing her eyes, Kotone Asaba still did not change back.

"Yeah, I’m a man. But I don’t know why I suddenly turned into a woman..."

Kotone Asaba could no longer keep his expression calm either.

"You directly turned into a woman? I remember human sex is supposed to be decided at birth, right?"

Pingtsi said in shock.

"How dare you assume my gender? Ahem... I’m joking. Anyway, I felt something was wrong immediately after the photo was taken. I think there’s a good chance I was ambushed by some Devil."

For such an unbelievable phenomenon, Kotone Asaba could only think of a Devil’s power.

"A Devil... Let me think. What Devil would have an ability like this..."

Pingtsi began thinking.

Pingtsi’s ability was not true omniscience. To give an example, it was like she had access to an encyclopedia. The encyclopedia knew everything, but that did not mean she herself necessarily knew everything.

Also, her ability had conditions. She needed to first observe something, then she could learn information about that thing.

Ordinary things did not require her to use her ponytail, but if she wanted to observe a specific person or Devil, then she had to deliberately use it.

"Could it be the Gender Swap Devil?"

Pingtsi guessed.

Without a target she could observe, she could only make that kind of guess.

"Probably..."

Kotone Asaba immediately grabbed Pingtsi and Long by the hands. "No matter what, let’s hurry back and catch the culprit first."

He directly transferred Pingtsi and Long back to the place where they had taken the photo, but found that everything looked normal. The visitors were still taking photos normally, and nothing changed after their pictures were taken.

"Did it just cause trouble and run away?"

Kotone Asaba did not notice any signs of a Devil.

Pingtsi was using her ponytail to observe the surroundings as if searching for something. A moment later, her gaze fixed on a certain direction. "There’s a scent left behind by a Devil here. It should have just left."

Now that she had a target to observe, even if it was only something related to the true target, she could obtain information from it.

"It is indeed the Gender Swap Devil. It likes playing pranks, and every time it finishes one prank, it runs away immediately. It’s extremely cunning. Whether the target is male or female, anyone hit by its ability will undergo a forced sex change."

Pingtsi explained the information related to the Gender Swap Devil. "Once someone is hit, their body changes in stages. The first stage is a change to the head. On the seventh day after being affected, they enter the second stage, which changes the upper body. On the thirtieth day, they enter the third stage, which changes the lower body. By that point, they have basically become the opposite sex completely."

Hearing this, the corner of Kotone Asaba’s mouth twitched slightly. Sure enough, his body would change gradually.

That meant that by the thirtieth day, his family jewels would disappear, and he would completely become a girl.

"Is there any way to break it? Do we need to kill the Gender Swap Devil?"

Right now, Kotone Asaba only wanted to know how to change back.

"Yes. Killing the Gender Swap Devil is indeed one way to break it. But there are other methods too. For example, you could talk to the Gender Swap Devil and have it use its ability again to change you back."

Pingtsi said.

"I understand."

Although there was a way to break it, Kotone Asaba still felt that the situation was not optimistic.

After all, the Gender Swap Devil was too cunning. Right now, he had no idea where that thing had run off to. If he could never find it, did that mean he would be stuck like this forever...?

"But I think you look pretty good like this. Why not just stay this way?"

Pingtsi looked at Kotone Asaba’s current appearance and felt increasingly moved.

A boy she liked suddenly turning into a cute girl gave her an unprecedented, wonderful feeling.

The current Pingtsi had not yet realized her own sexual orientation, and she did not know she might be bisexual.

Even Long nodded, agreeing with Pingtsi’s suggestion.

After all... Long was very likely bisexual too, just like Pingtsi.

[Pingtsi’s Affinity +5%]

[Long’s Affinity +5%]

[Pingtsi’s Affinity progress has reached 70%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1]

"Stop messing around."

This was something Kotone Asaba absolutely refused to accept.

But he did not know that Affinity from friendship and Affinity from romance did not actually stack. So Pingtsi’s Affinity had been romantic all along.

Besides, right now, he was busy worrying about having been turned into a girl. How could he have the mind to notice details like that?

"What should we do now..."

Kotone Asaba placed one hand on his delicate chin and began thinking.

If they directly tried to brute-force their way into finding the Gender Swap Devil now, it would be like running around blind. They would probably only waste time. Hong Kong was huge, and there were too many places where the Gender Swap Devil could hide.

Although Pingtsi felt very regretful, she still respected Kotone Asaba’s wishes and seriously offered him a suggestion. "Why don’t we go back to the Public Safety building first? Maybe we can get some useful information there."

"Yeah. That’s all we can do for now."

Kotone Asaba sighed softly in helplessness.

That faintly melancholy expression also made Pingtsi think he looked very cute.

On the way back to the Public Safety building, Pingtsi and Long clung even closer to Kotone Asaba.

Pingtsi hugged his left arm, while Long hugged his right.

Along the way, they attracted all kinds of gazes from plenty of people.

However, ordinary people generally would not think in the direction of women loving women. The reason they attracted attention was that Kotone Asaba, after turning into a girl, was too cute and beautiful, while Pingtsi and Long were both Fiends and also very good-looking.

Most normal people would think they were three close female friends.

Kotone Asaba had already gone numb.

Until he found the Gender Swap Devil, he could only stay like this. Worse, his transformation would progress even further in stages.

"You’re so cute now. Isn’t this fine too? Since there’s nothing we can do before finding the Gender Swap Devil anyway, you might as well relax and accept it for now."

Pingtsi said cheerfully.

Hearing Pingtsi’s words, which seemed like comfort yet also seemed to carry another meaning, Kotone Asaba was speechless.

They finally returned to the Public Safety building, but they ran into a bit of trouble when they tried to enter.

Kotone Asaba’s current appearance no longer quite matched the photo on his ID, so the guard stopped him.

The reason the guard gave was, "Although you’re a relative, you still can’t enter at will."

Clearly, the guard had mistaken Kotone Asaba for the younger sister of the person shown on the ID.

"No, I’m the person on the ID. It’s just that this afternoon..."

Kotone Asaba had just started explaining when the other party cut him off halfway.

"Do you think there’s something wrong with my eyes, little miss? The photo on the ID is clearly a boy. I can still tell the difference between men and women."

The guard narrowed his eyes and said.

"...At least listen to me explain first."

Kotone Asaba was extremely helpless and quickly explained what had happened that afternoon.

"The Gender Swap Devil?"

The guard had never seen or heard of such a thing before.

"Long and I can testify for him too. He only became like this because he encountered the Gender Swap Devil."

Pingtsi also spoke up for Kotone Asaba.

"Indeed, you do look very similar to the boy on the ID. Anyone who didn’t know better would think you were twin siblings. Even so, I still need to report this to my superiors first."

The guard hurried back to his post to call the higher-ups, while Kotone Asaba and the others could only wait there.

But at that moment, a white-haired woman wearing an eyepatch over her right eye, dressed in refreshing casual clothes, and carrying an expressionless face slowly walked past Kotone Asaba and headed into the Public Safety building.

In the instant they brushed past each other, the white-haired woman’s gaze lightly glanced at Kotone Asaba, and he noticed her at the same time.

He recognized her at a glance.

Wasn’t this Quanxi?

Quanxi suddenly stopped in her tracks. Under the confused gazes of Kotone Asaba, Pingtsi, and Long, she came up to him, suddenly reached out, and pinched his chin. Her calm tone carried a hint of dominance.

"You. Be my woman."
