Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: The Stitching Fiend

Among Quanxi’s four Fiend companions in the original story, besides Pingtsi, Long, and Cosmo, there was also a Fiend girl with stitches all over her body.

However, it was still unclear exactly what kind of Fiend she was, so she was referred to as the stitched-up girl.

The Fiend girl in front of Kotone Asaba had dark green hair, black sclera, and white irises. Her eyes were the reverse of normal human eyes. You could not even really call them the whites of her eyes. They were more like the blacks of her eyes.

There were stitches all over her body. Her face had no expression, and she could not speak.

Kotone Asaba had not expected to encounter this stitched-up girl here. When Mr. Fang mentioned a Fiend earlier, he had actually suspected it might be the one member of Quanxi’s group he had not yet met.

Looking at it now, this should not be a situation like the Muscle Devil. She truly did not seem to bear much malice toward humans, which was why she could have such a good relationship with Fang Zhen’s daughter.

The blond little girl should be Fang Zhen’s daughter, Rou Fang. She just happened to have her back to Kotone Asaba, so she did not notice him behind her.

Rou Fang was clearly a girl of Chinese and European mixed descent. She had blond hair, blue eyes, and delicate features, making her as cute as the doll in her hands. That meant Mr. Fang’s wife was probably European.

"Ahem..."

Kotone Asaba first coughed softly to alert Rou Fang so that she would not be startled later.

Rou Fang did not react at first. Gradually, she felt that the sound was a little strange. It seemed to have come from inside the room. Only then did she turn around to look.

She saw an unfamiliar young man standing behind her. She did not know when he had come in, much less how he had gotten in.

Rou Fang almost could not stop herself from screaming. "Wh-who are you?!"

"Don’t be scared. I’m here to be your friend. Your dad asked me to come."

Kotone Asaba immediately smiled and explained.

Rou Fang did not doubt this, but precisely because she believed he had been sent by her dad, she said, "No. I only need this friend."

She thought her dad wanted to find her a new friend to replace her Fiend friend, so she was unwilling.

"Don’t fire me so quickly. My thoughts are actually different from Mr. Fang’s. I think Fiends who don’t bear malice toward humans can get along with them just fine."

Kotone Asaba said this.

"Really?"

Rou Fang immediately looked delighted, but she soon became suspicious again. "I don’t believe you."

"Then I’ll show you proof."

Kotone Asaba smoothly unlocked the door behind him, which had been locked from the inside. Since he did it so naturally, it did not make Rou Fang resist. Instead, she became curious about what kind of proof he was going to show her.

At Kotone Asaba’s look, Pingtsi, Long, and Cosmo walked in. Quanxi had nothing else to do, so she followed them in as well.

Although he felt somewhat uncomfortable, Fang Zhen knew very well that he should not go in at a time like this, so Fang Zhen alone stayed outside the door in a place where Rou could not see him.

"These three are the same as her. They’re all Fiends, but they’re very well-behaved."

Kotone Asaba deliberately reached out and stroked Pingtsi and Long on the head, showing Rou Fang. "See? Aren’t they obedient?"

Pingtsi could not help turning her face away in embarrassment, not wanting anyone to see her shy, pleased expression.

Long was very cooperative, rubbing her face comfortably against Kotone Asaba’s hand.

Seeing that the young man in front of her could actually touch a Fiend’s head, and that the Fiend did not show any intention of resisting, Rou Fang could not help looking surprised.

Although she could play with the Fiend beside her, she was actually still a little afraid. At the very least, she did not dare casually pat her on the head.

Now, she believed what he had said earlier.

The stitched-up girl beside her showed no reaction and did not speak either. She was as blank as a humanoid doll.

"You... are all really here to play with me?" Rou Fang asked in disbelief.

"Of course," Kotone Asaba said with a smile.

"That’s great!" Rou Fang said happily.

After that, Kotone Asaba had Pingtsi, Long, and Cosmo slowly interact with Rou Fang. All they needed to do was play with her.

However, he felt the most important person was Quanxi. Whether this matter could be handled properly depended on Quanxi.

After all, in the original story, Quanxi had taken the stitched-up girl into her harem.

But Quanxi was not very willing. "I’m not interested in brats."

"I’m only asking you to play with her, not do anything else. And you’re working for me right now."

Kotone Asaba said this.

"..."

Quanxi did not say anything else. She reluctantly moved closer to Rou Fang.

With so many playmates suddenly appearing, Rou Fang was naturally very happy.

As for the stitched-up girl beside her, she did not react with fear toward the sudden arrival of these strangers either. Maybe it was simply because Kotone Asaba and the others had no intention of hurting her.

At this time, Pingtsi was using her ability to observe the stitched-up girl beside her.

"Oh, I see. So she’s the Stitching Fiend."

She immediately leaned close to Kotone Asaba and whispered, "I know why she can break into Rou Fang’s room without Mr. Fang and his servants finding out. There’s some of her Devil power left on the doll Rou Fang is holding. I’m guessing that as the Stitching Fiend, she helped Rou Fang repair the broken doll, and now she can use that doll for spatial travel."

"I see."

Kotone Asaba had noticed the doll in Rou Fang’s hands as soon as he arrived at the Fang residence. Although it looked very old, it had been mended well.

"Miss Rou, you’ve had the doll in your hands for many years, haven’t you? It’s still been preserved so well."

Kotone Asaba intentionally brought up this topic.

"Yeah. This was the last doll my mom gave me, so I really treasure it. But I actually didn’t take good care of it. She helped me fix it."

As Rou Fang spoke, her gaze dimmed a little.

"..."

Kotone Asaba roughly understood what had happened and immediately fell silent.

Judging from what Rou Fang had said, her mother had probably already...

After a moment of silence, Kotone Asaba said, "I’m going to step out for a moment. You all get along with Rou."

"Don’t call me Miss Rou. Just call me Rou."

Rou Fang corrected the way Kotone Asaba addressed her.

"Got it. Rou, then."

After saying this, Kotone Asaba left.

Although Quanxi had already moved over to Rou Fang’s side, she neither spoke nor did anything.

At this moment, Rou Fang noticed the eye patch over Quanxi’s right eye. After staring for quite a while, she finally could not help asking, "Miss, what happened to your eye?"

"It’s blind."

Quanxi said this indifferently, looking as if she did not care.

"Huh? Blind?!"

Rou Fang was immediately a little frightened. "Was it hurt by a Devil?"

"Something like that..."

Quanxi could not be bothered to explain and answered casually.

"You don’t feel bad about it, do you? Honestly, I think it looks really cool."

Rou Fang began comforting Quanxi.

"..."

Quanxi was instantly speechless.

She had not even said anything, and this little girl had already decided on her own to comfort her.

"You’re overthinking it, Rou. This woman is the strongest Devil Hunter. How could she feel bad about herself?"

Pingtsi’s words sounded like praise for Quanxi, but there was clear teasing in her tone.

"Devil Hunter? The strongest?"

Rou Fang’s eyes immediately widened, filled with interest.

Knowledge about Devils, Fiends, and Devil Hunters was a required part of basic education, so of course she knew what a Devil Hunter was. In her eyes, Devil Hunters were heroes who hunted Devils.

She had not expected the woman wearing the eye patch in front of her to be a Devil Hunter, or even be called the strongest Devil Hunter.

"Ah..."

What a pain...

Although Quanxi’s face remained as lazy and emotionless as ever, she felt a little annoyed by the trouble Pingtsi had deliberately created for her.

"Are you really the strongest Devil Hunter?" Rou Fang asked, unable to hold back her curiosity.

"Not exactly. But close enough..."

Quanxi answered.

"Then it’s true! You still look so young. How did you do it?"

Right after asking the previous question, Rou Fang immediately asked another.

"..."

Quanxi grew slightly impatient. "I’m not young... I haven’t been young for a long time..."

"But you clearly look young. You don’t have a single wrinkle on your face."

Rou Fang said this, then suddenly thought of something. "Oh, right. Devil Hunters hunt Fiends too, don’t they? Could you please not hurt her?"

The person Rou Fang was referring to was naturally the stitched-up girl.

"I won’t..."

Quanxi’s tone grew increasingly helpless.

Watching Quanxi get bombarded by Rou Fang’s questions until she looked a little defeated, Pingtsi covered her mouth and secretly laughed off to the side.

Meanwhile, Kotone Asaba had gone outside to find Mr. Fang.

"How is it?"

When Fang Zhen saw Kotone Asaba come out, he immediately asked with great concern.

"It’s going all right. They can already get along properly with Rou."

Kotone Asaba said this.

"That’s good. Then I’ll have to trouble you all with what comes next. I’m an incompetent father..."

Fang Zhen said this.

"We’ll do our best. But there’s something I’d like to ask you, Mr. Fang."

Kotone Asaba said this.

"What is it? Feel free to ask."

Fang Zhen said this.

"You know about the doll Rou always carries, right?"

Kotone Asaba asked.

"Yes. That is one of the keepsakes her mother left her."

Fang Zhen nodded.

Just as Kotone Asaba had thought, Rou Fang’s mother had already passed away.

"In that case, I think that, leaving aside that Fiend for now, the poor relationship between Rou and you may very likely have something to do with the doll your wife left behind."

Kotone Asaba guessed, "Rou just told me that the doll was broken once, and that her Fiend friend helped her fix it."

"That doll..."

Fang Zhen was slightly stunned. Then he seemed to realize something, and his expression showed sudden understanding.

"So that’s it. So that was it... I’ve ignored that doll all this time. Her mother left so many keepsakes for her, but I never imagined the thing she treasured most might have been that tiny, unimpressive doll..."

When Rou was still little, Fang Zhen had always been busy with his career and rarely had time to properly accompany his family. Because of that, Rou had spent most of her childhood living together with her mother.

As a result, he did not know what special meaning that doll held for Rou, but Rou had also always kept many things hidden in her heart without saying them.

Even when that doll became too old and eventually broke not long ago, he had said he would simply replace it with a new one for Rou. Rou had not said anything then. Her expression had merely looked slightly off, and he had not paid much attention to it.

Later, he had wondered how that doll had been repaired. So it had been that Fiend who helped Rou fix it.

"Right, you’ve already come into contact with that Fiend, haven’t you? What do you think? Does she really not bear any malice toward Rou?"

Fang Zhen asked this.

"I don’t dare say for certain that she has absolutely no malice toward Rou."

Kotone Asaba answered honestly.

"But I do think you don’t need to restrict Rou too much, Mr. Fang. No matter how you try to stop them, you won’t be able to prevent it, because that Fiend can use Rou’s doll for spatial travel. That’s also why you couldn’t discover her whereabouts."

Kotone Asaba continued, "If you want to completely cut off contact between Rou and that Fiend, you would first have to forcibly throw away Rou’s doll..."

As he spoke the last sentence, Kotone Asaba deliberately lowered his tone.

"This..."

Fang Zhen immediately found himself in a difficult position.

Rou cared about that doll so much. If he forcibly threw it away, she would probably turn against him completely.

He definitely did not dare do that. But if he did not do that, there would be no way to stop Rou from coming into contact with the Fiend.

So there really was no solution after all...

"Actually, there is still a way. We can hand the Stitching Fiend over to Hong Kong Public Safety, or to the Public Safety agency I belong to, so that they can supervise her. That way, you can feel at ease, Mr. Fang."

Kotone Asaba said this.

"What do you mean? You would just capture her directly?"

Fang Zhen asked in confusion.

"Let’s see how Quanxi wants to handle it. She should have a way."

Kotone Asaba said this.

"Then I’ll have to ask you and Miss Quanxi for help. Whether it succeeds or not, I’ll pay you for it."

Fang Zhen requested this.

"Understood."

Kotone Asaba only nodded without saying anything more, and he did not specify how much payment he wanted.

Including the one hundred thousand dollars Fang Zhen had given him earlier, Kotone Asaba was now probably only twenty to thirty thousand dollars short of gathering enough for Pingtsi and Long’s transfer fee.

With Mr. Fang’s personality, there was no way he would give too little payment. As long as it was not below twenty or thirty thousand dollars, it would be fine, so there was no need to ask much.

"You don’t need to stand here overthinking it the whole time, Mr. Fang. You should have a proper talk with Rou afterward."

Just like that, Kotone Asaba returned to the room.

As soon as he went back inside, he heard Rou Fang chatting with Quanxi.

"Could you be my teacher?"

What the hell?

What kind of development was this?

Hearing Rou Fang’s words, Kotone Asaba was instantly a little stunned.

Why did Rou Fang suddenly want to become Quanxi’s apprentice?

"No. Too much trouble."

Quanxi refused almost without hesitation.

"Please. Even teaching me just a little would be fine."

Rou Fang still did not give up.

"...It’s not impossible. The condition is that she belongs to me."

Quanxi’s gaze turned toward the Stitching Fiend, who had been silent the entire time.
