Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Come to My Room Tonight

"Halloween?"

Realizing that her ability was completely useless against the human in front of her, Cosmo seemed to understand that the other party might be a Devil Hunter or something similar.

However, while she was still hesitating over whether to use her "big move," Kotone Asaba had already circled behind her with astonishing physical speed, forced both of her hands behind her back, and successfully subdued her.

"Halloween! Halloween!"

Cosmo shouted "Halloween," her face full of anger, clearly looking like she wanted to resist.

But Kotone Asaba’s strength was simply too great. Although Cosmo was the Cosmos Fiend, her physical abilities were almost no different from an ordinary person’s, and she could not break free from Kotone Asaba’s restraint at all.

"Speaking of which, I’ve always been pretty curious. Can you only say Halloween?"

Kotone Asaba asked casually.

His guess was that Cosmo had also been affected by her own ability, so she could not say anything except Halloween, though she still retained her consciousness. She could probably only speak normally inside her own mental world.

Of course, Cosmo could not answer Kotone Asaba, and her mind was focused entirely on resisting.

"Stop struggling pointlessly. Behave, and I can at least keep you alive."

Kotone Asaba’s tone turned slightly cold, hoping to make Cosmo settle down.

But Cosmo was not so easy to make obedient. If Kotone Asaba did not know Cosmo, he might have thought she could not understand human speech at all.

"Why are you so disobedient? Forget it. I’ll bring you back first."

Kotone Asaba escorted Cosmo, preparing to take her back to the Public Safety building.

When Kotone Asaba returned to the others, Quanxi said, "As expected. Your strength is pretty good."

To receive that kind of evaluation from Quanxi, the strongest in hand-to-hand combat, was enough to show that Kotone Asaba’s current combat ability was already terrifying.

But because of that, Quanxi’s desire to conquer him grew even stronger.

"You’re too kind."

"..."

"This one’s a Fiend too?"

At that moment, Pingtsi was curiously using her ability to examine Cosmo. "Whoa, she’s the Cosmos Fiend. The Cosmos Devil sounds pretty powerful!"

"Let’s bring her back first."

Kotone Asaba said.

After that, they restrained Cosmo and returned to the Public Safety building.

...

"So this is the Fiend who caused trouble on the street today?"

At that moment, Kotone Asaba was inside a leader’s office. The leader’s name was Li Ye.

He already knew about Kotone Asaba being attacked by the Gender Swap Devil, so he showed no surprise when he saw the black-haired girl in front of him.

Cosmo seemed to have tired herself out from shouting too, and was no longer constantly yelling Halloween.

"Yes. Based on Pingtsi’s observation, we can confirm that she is the Cosmos Fiend."

Kotone Asaba reported.

"So, do you have any thoughts? If we follow the rules, this Fiend should be executed."

Li Ye said.

When she heard "executed," Cosmo was still a little afraid, though it did not show much on her face.

"I believe the Cosmos Fiend’s ability is very strong and could be put to use. She can make up for her crimes through service."

Kotone Asaba suggested.

[Cosmo’s Affinity +5%]

Hmm?

Cosmo’s Affinity suddenly increased a little, which surprised Kotone Asaba.

What he had just said was not deliberately done for Affinity. He was purely trying to keep Cosmo alive. If Cosmo was executed, he would not even have the chance to raise her Affinity.

At that moment, Cosmo lightly tugged at the corner of Kotone Asaba’s clothes with one hand.

Kotone Asaba noticed Cosmo’s small movement. Sure enough, this one was also afraid of death.

"Tell me specifically what abilities she has."

Li Ye asked.

Kotone Asaba immediately gave Pingtsi a look. Although he knew the Cosmos Fiend’s abilities too, having Pingtsi explain them would avoid drawing suspicion.

Pingtsi nodded and explained the Cosmos Fiend’s abilities to Li Ye in detail.

"Is it really that mysterious?"

Li Ye could not help feeling that the Cosmos Fiend’s ability sounded a little too strange.

"Yes, but her weaknesses are also very obvious. First, her charge time is too long. Second, her physical abilities are too weak."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Then we’ll consider your suggestion for now. We can temporarily refrain from executing her. Or rather, consider it a stay of execution, depending on her performance during this period and whether she refrains from maliciously harming people again."

Li Ye said, "Of course, during this period, you will also bear a certain degree of responsibility for her. Are you willing to accept that?"

"I am."

Kotone Asaba nodded almost without hesitation.

[Cosmo’s Affinity +10%]

[Cosmo’s Affinity progress has reached 10%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1]

At that moment, Kotone Asaba turned his head and glanced at Cosmo. "So, from now on, you can behave properly, right?"

"Halloween..."

Cosmo answered softly. From her tone, she sounded willing to obey.

Li Ye’s eyes immediately showed surprise.

He had accepted responsibility so decisively. Was he not afraid that this Fiend would cause trouble and drag him down with her?

Back when they had tamed Long, it had taken quite a bit of effort.

As for Pingtsi, she had been much better. She had no real malice toward humans to begin with.

But this Cosmos Fiend was different. The moment she appeared, she had harmed people recklessly. She would probably be as prone to losing control as Long had been at first.

"Also, the people harmed by the Cosmos Fiend aren’t actually dead. I’ll ask her whether she can undo the effect on them."

Kotone Asaba said.

"If she can undo it, that would naturally be for the best. This can also be counted as excellent performance on her part. After that, as long as you keep her under control and stop her from hurting people recklessly, there should basically be no issue."

Li Ye said bluntly.

"I understand. Then I’ll take my leave first."

After that, Kotone Asaba left with Cosmo first.

Pingtsi and Long followed closely behind him.

Quanxi was the last to leave.

At that moment, Li Ye suddenly said, "This is rare, Quanxi. You actually went on patrol with them. Isn’t that something incredibly boring for you?"

As a very special existence within Hong Kong Public Safety, Quanxi normally would not show herself unless the mission was extremely important. The higher-ups were relatively indulgent toward her on that point, which was why he was so surprised this time.

"Sometimes I feel like going out for a walk. And weren’t you planning to have me take over those two Fiends? It’s good to get familiar with them in advance."

Quanxi said casually.

"From the looks of things, there may be no need for you to take over. Pingtsi and Long seem quite obedient in front of that young Asaba."

Li Ye said.

"If that’s the case, naturally, that’s good. It saves me the effort."

After saying that, Quanxi happened to walk out of the office.

...

In the hallway.

"You understood what that person said just now, right? During this period, you’d better not cause trouble. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee whether you’ll be executed or not."

At that moment, Kotone Asaba said to Cosmo, "I’ve already done as much as I can. The rest depends on you. As long as you obediently listen to me, there shouldn’t be any major problems."

Cosmo nodded.

"So, do you have a name? Or should I just call you Cosmo?"

For convenience, Kotone Asaba directly gave the Cosmos Fiend that name.

Cosmo did not care much about something like a name. She simply accepted it without much of a reaction.

"Is this one unable to talk, just like Long?"

Pingtsi asked in confusion.

From the very beginning, she had only heard Cosmo say "Halloween." It seemed she could not say anything else.

"Something like that. But she can understand us, so that’s enough."

Kotone Asaba said.

"For now, stay with me."

Kotone Asaba said to Cosmo, "First, can you undo the effect on the people you attacked? The ones who can only think about Halloween."

Cosmo nodded.

It seemed she only had to move her thoughts casually, and it was done.

However, Kotone Asaba could not temporarily confirm whether those people had really been restored. They would know once Public Safety’s people handled the scene.

...

Before long, Kotone Asaba received the news.

The people who had originally been able to say only "Halloween" had all returned to normal. Once Public Safety learned that the Cosmos Fiend was making up for her crimes, they no longer held as strong an opinion against Cosmo.

Now that Quanxi and Cosmo’s Codex entries had both been activated, the current problem was how to raise both of their Affinity to fifty percent.

For example... agreeing to go to Quanxi’s room tonight?

"Are you serious...? You want me to go to your room?"

Kotone Asaba looked confused.

Since Quanxi knew about the Gender Swap Devil, did she not know that his body had not completely turned into a girl yet?

"I’m the one asking you. You only need to answer whether you’re willing or not. Though even if you’re unwilling, I’ll make you willing by force."

Quanxi said expressionlessly.

"Fine. Then I’m willing."

Kotone Asaba hesitated for a while, but still agreed.

No matter what, he had to raise Quanxi’s Affinity first.

If Quanxi tried to do anything over the line when the time came, he could use double Kamui to escape directly.

[Quanxi’s Affinity +5%]

"Very good."

Quanxi nodded in satisfaction, then deliberately emphasized, "When the time comes, they cannot come with you. I only want you to come alone."

Because Pingtsi, Long, and Cosmo had all come into contact with Kotone Asaba first, and each of them had clearly gained a certain degree of Affinity for him, Quanxi even viewed them as "romantic rivals" now.

"What did you say? Even if you are Lady Quanxi, don’t go too far!"

Pingtsi was very dissatisfied with Quanxi, but did not dare be too rude.

Long also looked like she very much wanted to attack but did not dare, helpless against Quanxi’s overwhelming strength.

As for Cosmo, she did not care. She had only just become a Fiend and did not understand these things at all.

"All right, I promise."

Kotone Asaba nodded.

[Quanxi’s Affinity +5%]

[Quanxi’s Affinity progress has reached 40%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1]

"Asaba, how can you...!"

Pingtsi looked at Kotone Asaba with a confused expression.

"..."

Facing Pingtsi’s confusion, Kotone Asaba had no way to explain it, so he could only give Pingtsi a helpless look.

Pingtsi immediately thought she had more or less understood what Kotone Asaba meant.

It seemed Asaba had some kind of weakness in Quanxi’s hands. And the thing she could think of was that Quanxi wanted to prevent Asaba from turning back into a man.

With that, Pingtsi understood Kotone Asaba’s difficulty.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Quanxi left and temporarily stopped clinging to Kotone Asaba.

Kotone Asaba and the others were just about ready to go eat lunch too.

On the way to the restaurant, Pingtsi and Long were clearly still troubled over Quanxi. Long simply could not speak.

"That woman is awful. She’s actually threatening you with the Gender Swap Devil."

Pingtsi said angrily.

"..."

Although it sounded like Pingtsi had misunderstood something, Kotone Asaba did not bother explaining much. "It’s fine. Don’t worry too much. Trust my strength."

Even so, Pingtsi was still worried. Or rather, unwilling to accept it.

She had already made up her mind. Tonight, she would secretly follow him.

...

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant. It was still the same one from before.

Today, another unfamiliar new Fiend had come with them. However, the server was almost getting used to it by now. She figured this new Fiend should also be a Public Safety Devil Hunter, so she could still receive them normally.

However, what was with that black-haired girl? Wasn’t the person with that face yesterday a boy?

The server was confused for quite a while, then thought it over and decided she had probably remembered wrong.

"Table for four? Please sit over here."

The server then led them in.

After they sat down, Kotone Asaba held the menu and said to Cosmo, "Take a look and see what you want to eat. Once a Devil becomes a Fiend, they can feel hunger too."

Grrr...

Right at that moment, Cosmo’s stomach let out a sound. She also immediately understood what Kotone Asaba meant by hunger. This feeling was not very comfortable...

"Halloween! Halloween!"

"Point with your finger at what you want to eat. Otherwise, I can’t understand what you’re saying."

Kotone Asaba said.

Only then did Cosmo understand how to point at dishes. She also did not know which ones tasted good, so she picked a few that looked nice.

[Cosmo’s Affinity +5%]

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

Pingtsi propped her chin up with one hand, her cheeks slightly puffed out. "Asaba... don’t you feel like you’re being a little too nice to her?"

From the moment they had first met this Cosmos Fiend until now, Pingtsi had felt that Asaba was being strangely gentle with her.

"Ah, am I?"

Kotone Asaba immediately played dumb, trying to brush it off.

"Mm! Mm!"

Long also nodded in agreement with Pingtsi’s words.
