Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Just Be My Woman Already
?
Kotone Asaba froze.
Ah...
Right.
He really had turned into a girl now.
But this sudden event still left Kotone Asaba at a loss for a moment.
So...
Should he accept or refuse Quanxi?
[Codex entry activated: Quanxi]

[Current Affinity: 25%]
[Quanxi’s Affinity progress has reached 10%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1]
[Quanxi’s Affinity progress has reached 20%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1]
Her Affinity was already this high right after they met. It seemed Quanxi really had taken a liking to him.
Before this, Kotone Asaba truly had never imagined that he would come into contact with Quanxi this way, much less that Quanxi would set her sights on him.
Kotone Asaba instinctively took two steps back, but Quanxi continued closing in.
"Hold on! What do you mean by that?"
At that moment, Pingtsi came back to her senses and immediately questioned Quanxi.
"Awooo!"
Long also let out a warning sound, and even looked like she wanted to attack Quanxi.
However, Quanxi completely ignored Pingtsi and Long. She did not even look at them. Her gaze remained fixed on Kotone Asaba’s eyes. "Give me your answer."
"I... have to go."
Kotone Asaba grabbed Pingtsi and Long with both hands, then transferred into the Kamui dimension.
"..."
Watching the three of them suddenly disappear, Quanxi stood there in silence.
She did remember those two Fiends. The higher-ups planned to have her manage the Fiends within Public Safety later, and her requirement was that they had to be female Fiends, so she had previously read Pingtsi and Long’s personal files.
Although Pingtsi and Long’s appearances both suited her tastes very well, that black-haired, blood-eyed girl just now was the one who made her heart move the most. However, she had never seen that girl in Public Safety before.
At that moment, the guard from earlier had already reported the situation to the higher-ups, and permission to pass had been granted.
But when he came out to inform them, the people he was supposed to notify were gone. Instead, he saw an incredible big shot.
"Lady Quanxi!"
The guard looked at the white-haired woman wearing an eyepatch in front of him and spoke respectfully.
The woman before him could be called the strongest Devil Hunter in Hong Kong, and even all of China. It was said that she was also the oldest Devil Hunter in the world.
Although he did not know why Lady Quanxi could maintain such a youthful appearance for so long, she was the strongest Devil Hunter, so perhaps it was not that surprising.
Quanxi had absolutely no interest in men. She did not even want to acknowledge him, and she coldly walked into the Public Safety building.
...
At the same time, Kotone Asaba had brought Pingtsi and Long to some random place to avoid Quanxi.
If he had agreed to Quanxi just now, her Affinity would definitely have risen very quickly.
But that made Kotone Asaba feel extremely strange.
He was a grown man, yet not only had he accidentally turned into a girl, he was now supposed to become a woman’s woman.
On a physical level, he instinctively resisted it.
So Kotone Asaba had directly fled just now. As for raising Quanxi’s Affinity, he could slowly figure out a way later.
The only benefit this body gave him right now was that he could interact with Quanxi. If he were still in his original male body, Quanxi definitely would not even bother to acknowledge him.
As long as he could interact with her, that was enough. He did not necessarily have to raise her Affinity by agreeing to become Quanxi’s woman.
"I remember now... That woman just now seems to be Lady Quanxi!"
Because the incident had happened too suddenly and she had been somewhat emotional, Pingtsi had not reacted to who that woman was. Now that she had calmed down, she realized it.
"Oh, so she’s Quanxi. How much do you know about her?"
Kotone Asaba asked naturally.
Pingtsi shook her head slightly. "Long and I were only transferred to Hong Kong Public Safety not long ago. Today was our first time seeing Lady Quanxi. Before this, we only knew about some of her related achievements."
"But it really is surprising. Lady Quanxi is actually what you humans call a lesbian."
Aren’t you two the same...?
Kotone Asaba almost blurted that out.
At that moment, Pingtsi recalled Lady Quanxi’s appearance just now and felt that she was very cool.
But in comparison, she still thought Kotone Asaba was better. He was handsome when he looked handsome, and cute when he looked cute.
Pingtsi’s heart immediately began swooning, and the expression on her ponytail revealed it especially clearly.
"In any case, let’s go back after a while. That woman is dangerous."
Kotone Asaba said.
...
Kotone Asaba, Pingtsi, and Long simply ate dinner outside before going back.
By the time they returned to the Public Safety building, quite a while had already passed. Quanxi could not still be waiting for him at the entrance.
Because what had happened earlier was too sudden, Kotone Asaba had forgotten to leave a mark on Quanxi, so he was not sure where she was right now.
He watched the area in front of the Public Safety building from a distance. Only after confirming that Quanxi was no longer there did Kotone Asaba bring Pingtsi and Long over.
"Where did you three run off to just now?"
Seeing the three of them return, the guard asked.
"Mm... Something urgent came up, so we left for a short while. Sorry for making you wait."
Kotone Asaba explained.
"It’s fine, it’s fine. The higher-ups have already granted permission to pass. You may go in."
The guard then let Kotone Asaba and the others through.
However, after entering the Public Safety building, the coworkers and staff who had previously seen Kotone Asaba once now looked at him with strange, confused gazes.
For the time being, Kotone Asaba had been assigned to partner with Pingtsi and Long, and he was also staying with them. He had a task that was not openly stated, which was to temporarily help manage these two Fiends.
There was only one bed in the room. Previously, Pingtsi and Long had lived here together. Now, Kotone Asaba had been added to the room as well.
However, Pingtsi and Long did not seem to think there was anything bad about that. In fact, they looked quite happy.
Especially when it was time to sleep that night.
"This bed doesn’t look like it can fit three people, does it?"
Kotone Asaba looked at the bed in front of him. It was neither big nor especially small.
"How could it not fit?"
Pingtsi directly pulled Kotone Asaba down onto the bed.
When Kotone Asaba had still been male, Pingtsi had been rather prone to acting proud and getting shy. But after he became a girl, she was completely different.
Long, meanwhile, directly stripped herself completely clean, then jumped onto the bed, nearly making the whole thing collapse.
That night, Pingtsi and Long both treated Kotone Asaba like a body pillow, clinging tightly to him like octopuses.
...
The next day.
Kotone Asaba officially had to start work.
At present, he had quite a few things to do here in Hong Kong. Not only did he have to find a way to raise Quanxi and Cosmo’s Affinity, the most important thing was to find the Gender Swap Devil as soon as possible and change himself back to his original form.
At that moment, Kotone Asaba, Pingtsi, and Long were about to head out on patrol.
However, just as they were preparing to depart, a staff member suddenly came over and said to Kotone Asaba, "Excuse me, please wait a moment. Another Devil Hunter will be traveling with you. This is an order from above."
"Which Devil Hunter?"
Kotone Asaba asked.
But he already had a guess in his heart. It could not be Quanxi, could it?
"She’s already here."
The other person stepped aside.
At the far end of the corridor in front of Kotone Asaba, a familiar figure appeared. Sure enough, it was Quanxi.
"Why is it her again..."
Pingtsi and Long were both very unwilling to act together with Quanxi, because they knew Quanxi would steal Kotone Asaba away.
Quanxi walked up to Kotone Asaba. "You can’t run away this time."
In truth, if Kotone Asaba wanted to run, no one could stop him. But right now, he had things he had to do.
Going out as Quanxi’s partner did give him a chance to raise her Affinity, but agreeing to become Quanxi’s woman was the one thing that was impossible.
At the same time, the staff member beside them very tactfully left.
"Um..."
Kotone Asaba said with an embarrassed expression, "Would you believe me if I said I was originally a man?"
"I know."
Quanxi nodded faintly. "I have already learned the specifics of your situation. So don’t even think about turning back into a man. Behave and be my woman."
After meeting Kotone Asaba yesterday, she had investigated his situation, including the matter of him being attacked by the Gender Swap Devil. Conveniently, the guard had reported that to the higher-ups at the time.
As for the Gender Swap Devil, she had investigated that as well and learned that if Kotone Asaba wanted to turn back into a man, he had to find the Gender Swap Devil again.
"Hmm? Huh?!"
Kotone Asaba was instantly stunned.
What did that mean?
Was she trying to stop him from finding the Gender Swap Devil and changing back?
"No, since you... How should I put this? Aren’t you uninterested in men? Even if I’ve become a woman now, I’m still fundamentally a man."
Kotone Asaba said.
"It doesn’t matter. As long as your current appearance suits my tastes."
As she spoke, Quanxi reached out again and touched Kotone Asaba’s face.
"..."
Kotone Asaba was immediately speechless.
Thinking about it, that made sense. Fiends like Pingtsi, Long, and Cosmo were essentially Devils, but the human bodies they occupied were female bodies, and Quanxi could still like them. She really did just care about looks.
Quanxi was no longer in a hurry to make Kotone Asaba answer her either. She had heard that the Gender Swap Devil’s ability would completely turn a person into a woman in both body and mind after a certain amount of time, so when the time came, Kotone Asaba would fall on his own.
During this period, she just had to keep Kotone Asaba from coming into contact with the Gender Swap Devil.
Kotone Asaba felt a little headache coming on. He already had no information about the Gender Swap Devil at all, and now Quanxi was here to interfere with him too.
But for now, he could only endure it and raise Quanxi’s Affinity high enough first.
Because of this, Kotone Asaba, Pingtsi, Long, and Quanxi went into action together. Their coworkers were very surprised when they saw this scene.
"That eyepatch woman, isn’t she the strongest Devil Hunter? You almost never see her normally. What’s going on today?"
"And that girl with the strange eyes is the person who came over from Japan yesterday, right? But didn’t I hear that person was a man?"
"Hey, keep your voices down. I heard Lady Quanxi has a strange temper. If you make her angry, who knows what’ll happen?"
"..."
The people around them quietly whispered among themselves.
However, Quanxi completely ignored them. It was impossible to tell whether she heard anything or not.
...
During the patrol, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
[Quanxi’s Affinity +5%]
[Quanxi’s Affinity progress has reached 30%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1]
Quanxi held Kotone Asaba’s hand, and the two walked side by side. Behind them, Pingtsi and Long were angry but did not dare say anything.
That was because Long had already fought Quanxi earlier. Naturally, Long had been completely defeated. Fortunately, Quanxi had not gotten serious, so Long was not actually injured. She had merely been knocked unconscious with a chop to the neck.
Even Long was no match for her, so Pingtsi dared not attack Quanxi even more.
Right now, aside from holding Kotone Asaba’s hand, Quanxi was not doing anything else. She had barely spoken along the way, while Pingtsi and Long were staring at him and Quanxi from behind with eyes full of resentment. Because of that, the atmosphere felt extremely strange.
It was as if he belonged to Quanxi and could only be monopolized by her.
Suddenly, something in Quanxi’s pants pocket vibrated.
Kotone Asaba watched as Quanxi took it out. It turned out to be a phone.
It seemed Quanxi had received a text message.
"In the area we are responsible for patrolling, a strange, unknown Fiend has appeared. Anyone she comes into contact with becomes capable of saying nothing but the word ’Halloween.’"
Quanxi spoke slowly.
Hearing that, Kotone Asaba’s pupils immediately shrank.
From that description, it was clearly the Cosmos Fiend, Cosmo.
He had not expected to encounter Cosmo so soon.
"Let’s head there now. We’ll arrest her and bring her back to Public Safety."
Quanxi immediately led Kotone Asaba in another direction, heading toward the location mentioned in the text message.
Pingtsi and Long could only follow.
Soon, they arrived at the target location.
They saw a pink-haired girl with an unusual appearance wantonly attacking ordinary people, constantly saying, "Halloween."
The people she "attacked" also began to become like her, endlessly saying, "Halloween." Aside from that, they could not do anything else, like walking corpses.
The right half of the pink-haired girl’s skull was missing, exposing her brain. A bundle of brain tissue was tied into a knot, and if one did not look carefully, one might think it was some kind of accessory.
Both of her eyes had heart-shaped pupils, but her right eye was not in its socket and instead hung out.
If judged only by her facial features, she was quite pretty. But those Fiend characteristics were rather grotesque.
[Codex entry activated: Cosmo]
[Reward obtained: Constitution +1]
[Current Affinity: 0%]
That was right. The pink-haired girl before them was the Cosmos Fiend, Cosmo.
"Are you going? Or should I take care of it?"
Quanxi asked expressionlessly.
"I’ll go by myself."
Kotone Asaba immediately said.
He suddenly felt that Quanxi’s four Fiend companions in the original story might all have been forcefully subdued, or even tamed, by Quanxi through violence.
"Mm."
Quanxi answered faintly and said nothing more.
Kotone Asaba immediately made his move. He did not use any Devil powers, relying only on the physical abilities brought to him by his Constitution.
Of course, Cosmo had already noticed Kotone Asaba as well and tried to use "Halloween" to throw him into confusion.
However, as a Hybrid, Kotone Asaba was completely unaffected by Cosmo’s ordinary ability. Only that special ability that required charging would work on him.
But how could he possibly give Cosmo the chance to charge it?
