Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Just Like a Couple

At that moment, the security personnel on the bullet train finally arrived.

All they could do now was clean up the gunmen’s corpses. If Kotone Asaba and Yuki Kirisu had been ordinary people, they would have been dead long ago.

Looking at the blood all over the floor and the shocking sight of severed heads and bodies, the security personnel had never seen such a bloody scene before. Some of them looked away with physical discomfort.

But what shocked them the most was that those gruesome corpses were the real armed attackers.

The security personnel looked around for a while and quickly noticed Yuki Kirisu and Kotone Asaba sitting nearby. Their seats had a large number of bullet holes.

The seats had clearly suffered such intense gunfire, yet there was not a single wound on either of them.

At that moment, they noticed that both of them were wearing Tokyo Public Safety uniforms. It seemed these two were Tokyo Public Safety Devil Hunters. They were probably the ones who had killed those gunmen.

"Sorry to bother you, but could you two disclose your names and identities? Also, were those gunmen killed by you?"

One of the security personnel politely asked Yuki Kirisu and Kotone Asaba.

Clearly, the security personnel on this bullet train did not recognize Yuki Kirisu.

"I’m Kotone Asaba, captain of Tokyo Public Safety’s Special Division 1. She is Yuki Kirisu, the chief administrator of Tokyo Public Safety."

At the same time, Kotone Asaba also showed his identification.

Hearing that, the security personnel froze.

Although they did not pay much attention to this or that Public Safety bureau, they still knew some basic common sense. The captains of Tokyo Public Safety’s divisions were all top-class Devil Hunters, and the chief administrator needed even less explanation. She managed all of Tokyo Public Safety.

They had never expected there to be two such important figures on this bullet train, and it seemed those two had even encountered a shooting.

"As for those gunmen, they opened fire on us first, so I killed them in self-defense."

Kotone Asaba continued.

"Understood. We know now."

The security personnel stopped bothering Kotone Asaba and Yuki Kirisu, then hurriedly cleaned up the corpses first.

After that, the security personnel also questioned the other passengers nearby and confirmed that those gunmen had indeed been killed by the young man named Kotone Asaba.

Normally, they would still have to undergo all kinds of investigations afterward, but Yuki Kirisu would handle that kind of troublesome matter.

There was still some distance left before they arrived in Kyoto.

However, after experiencing a shooting just now, Yuki Kirisu was no longer in the mood to keep sleeping. Besides, she had slept nearly enough.

At that moment, even though Yuki Kirisu was no longer sleeping, she still hugged Kotone Asaba’s arm and used it as a pillow. "Having you come with me really was the right choice."

...

Near noon, they finally arrived at Kyoto bullet train station.

"After we get off the bullet train, Kyoto Public Safety will send people to receive us."

At that moment, Yuki Kirisu spoke.

Sure enough, as soon as they stepped through the bullet train doors, Kotone Asaba saw two young people in Kyoto Public Safety uniforms in front of them.

He recognized these two people. They were Michiko Tendo and Yutaro Kurose, the same two people who had received Makima in the original work.

Both Tendo and Kurose had a scar across the bridge of their noses. It was probably an injury left behind when they once faced the same Devil, or it might have been the price they paid after contracting with the Punishment Devil. After all, both of them were contracted with the Punishment Devil.

He had not expected such a coincidence. The ones coming to receive him and Yuki Kirisu were these two as well.

"You two must be Miss Kirisu and Captain Asaba, right? I’m Michiko Tendo from Kyoto Public Safety, and this guy is my partner, Yutaro Kurose."

Michiko Tendo spoke to Kotone Asaba and Yuki Kirisu.

"Mm. Let’s get lunch first. We’ll meet your superiors in the afternoon."

Yuki Kirisu said.

"Understood."

Michiko Tendo and Yutaro Kurose turned around and started walking. They had already prepared a plan in advance, investigating which restaurants were nearby and what their styles and flavors were like.

If Miss Kirisu wanted to have lunch first, those preparations would come in handy.

As Tendo and Kurose introduced one restaurant after another, Yuki Kirisu chose one of them. Kotone Asaba did not care either way. To him, anything was fine.

However, seeing Yuki Kirisu constantly holding Kotone Asaba’s arm, Tendo and Kurose thought to themselves that Miss Kirisu and Captain Asaba somehow looked like a couple traveling together.

Originally, they had thought the normal situation would be Captain Asaba accompanying and protecting Miss Kirisu, with a clear superior-subordinate distinction between them. But right now, the feeling they gave off was completely different.

At that moment, Michiko Tendo gave Yutaro Kurose a look, seeming to ask whether they should inquire about Miss Kirisu and Captain Asaba’s relationship.

Yutaro Kurose shook his head slightly, feeling that it would not be very polite. After all, Miss Kirisu and Captain Asaba were also superior-like figures to them.

After ordering at the restaurant, while they were waiting, Michiko Tendo still could not help asking, "Um... forgive me for asking so directly, but I’m just a little curious. What kind of relationship do Miss Kirisu and Captain Asaba have?"

Now that Tendo had already asked, Kurose could not stop her anymore. Besides, he was actually quite curious too.

"What kind of relationship? What do you think it is?"

Yuki Kirisu deliberately did not answer directly and instead smiled with a teasing expression.

"Should I say it? Please don’t get mad if I’m wrong."

Michiko Tendo then said what she was thinking. "Miss Kirisu and Captain Asaba feel like a couple?"

"Bingo."

Yuki Kirisu answered.

At the same time, Kotone Asaba also spoke, but gave the opposite answer. "Then you guessed wrong."

"Huh?"

Michiko Tendo was immediately a little confused.

Why were Miss Kirisu and Captain Asaba giving completely different answers? Whose words was she supposed to believe?

"Sigh, forget it. Asaba, you really have no sense of fun."

Yuki Kirisu sighed with some loss of interest.

She had originally wanted to play around a little, only for Kotone Asaba to directly end the topic.

Although it remained somewhat unclear, Michiko Tendo and Yutaro Kurose still felt that Miss Kirisu and Captain Asaba’s relationship was definitely not ordinary.

However, they did not ask any further. This kind of thing was not really suitable to ask about in the first place.

...

After lunch, Michiko Tendo drove Yuki Kirisu and Kotone Asaba to Kyoto Public Safety, while Yutaro Kurose sat in the front passenger seat.

After arriving at Kyoto Public Safety, Tendo and Kurose brought Yuki Kirisu and Kotone Asaba directly to the place where their superiors had arranged the meeting and discussion.

By quite a coincidence, they ran into Akane Sawatari in the hallway.

Akane Sawatari naturally saw Kotone Asaba as well and immediately greeted him. "Master, why are you here?"

Michiko Tendo and Yutaro Kurose had some impression of the girl before them. She was a newcomer who had just entered Kyoto Public Safety not long ago, and her name seemed to be Akane Sawatari.

They had heard she was a very capable and hardworking newcomer, but they had not expected her to actually be Captain Asaba’s apprentice.

Since Captain Asaba seemed to be catching up with Akane Sawatari, Tendo and Kurose temporarily stopped as well.

"Mm. I came with someone else to handle some business."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Oh? Is this girl the apprentice you took in at the Kyoto Private Guild before?"

Yuki Kirisu quickly reacted.

"That’s right. Her name is Akane Sawatari."

Kotone Asaba nodded.

"Master, is this your colleague?"

Akane Sawatari did not know Yuki Kirisu, but she saw that Yuki Kirisu was also wearing a Tokyo Public Safety uniform.

If not for that uniform, with such a small build, she would have thought Yuki Kirisu was Master’s younger sister.

"No. She’s my superior, and also the chief administrator of all Tokyo Public Safety, Miss Yuki Kirisu."

Kotone Asaba said.

Akane Sawatari immediately showed a look of shock.

This little girl was actually Tokyo Public Safety’s chief administrator?

She could hardly believe it.

Yuki Kirisu narrowed her eyes slightly. "Judging from that expression, I feel like you’re thinking I’m still a child, so how could I possibly have become Tokyo Public Safety’s chief administrator, right?"

"Um..."

Although it was very impolite, Akane Sawatari could not deny that she really had been thinking that.

"You rude small fry, listen up! I am a genius who returned from studying in the United Kingdom. I am fluent in many languages, and I’m even one year older than him."

The "him" Yuki Kirisu referred to was naturally Kotone Asaba.

Kotone Asaba felt that Yuki Kirisu’s words sounded very familiar. It seemed she had said the exact same thing to him before, and even the age comparison target had not changed. She was still saying she was one year older than him.

"I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I was being rude..."

Hearing Miss Kirisu say even insulting words, Akane Sawatari thought Miss Kirisu was extremely angry and immediately apologized repeatedly.

"There’s no need for that. ’Small fry’ is just this woman’s catchphrase."

Kotone Asaba immediately explained.

"Since you apologized so sincerely, I shall magnanimously forgive you."

Yuki Kirisu spoke with a proud look on her face.

"Don’t push your luck."

Kotone Asaba pinched Yuki Kirisu’s cheek.

Yuki Kirisu’s nose had practically been pointing at the sky, but after Kotone Asaba pinched her cheek, she immediately deflated.

Seeing Master behave so boldly toward Miss Kirisu, and with an inexplicable intimacy at that, Akane Sawatari could not help feeling that Master was amazing. If it were her, she would not even dare speak slightly louder in front of her superior.

[Akane Sawatari Affinity +5%]

This increase in Affinity was more out of admiration for Kotone Asaba.

"Then I won’t disturb you anymore, Master. You should get back to work."

Akane Sawatari had already noticed Kurose and Tendo nearby. There had to be something important for Master to have come to Kyoto Public Safety together with Miss Kirisu.

It was already not very good for her to have interrupted them this long, so she quickly moved aside on her own.

After that, under Tendo and Kurose’s guidance, Kotone Asaba and Yuki Kirisu arrived at the meeting hall.

As soon as they entered the meeting hall, they saw three middle-aged men dressed properly and formally in Kyoto Public Safety uniforms already sitting at the conference table.

Although he had brought Akane Sawatari to Kyoto Public Safety before, Kotone Asaba had never met the major figures of Kyoto Public Safety, so this was also his first time seeing the three men before him.

Of course, there was no way all three were Kyoto Public Safety’s chief administrator. The one sitting in the center should be the chief administrator, while the other two should hold positions just below his.

Michiko Tendo and Yutaro Kurose consciously stopped at the door. Only Kotone Asaba and Yuki Kirisu walked in, and then Tendo and Kurose closed the door properly before leaving.

"This must be Captain Asaba of Special Division 1, yes? I’ve heard some things about the Special Division that Tokyo Public Safety recently established."

At that moment, the middle-aged man seated in the center looked at Kotone Asaba and spoke.

"That’s right. To be precise, he was the one who proposed establishing it."

Yuki Kirisu nodded.

"I hear it has been rather effective. Unfortunately, we at Kyoto Public Safety do not have enough elites to form a Special Division."

The man’s tone carried some regret.

After all, this kind of specially established Special Division could handle Devils that were relatively troublesome in terms of strength, changing the old situation where one or two squads had to be deployed together whenever a troublesome Devil was discovered. It avoided casualties among Devil Hunters of ordinary strength.

But the prerequisite was having enough elites. The gap in personnel resources between Kyoto Public Safety and Tokyo Public Safety had grown larger and larger.

"Doesn’t Asaba have an apprentice here at Kyoto Public Safety? I feel like her strength is pretty good. With more training, she should be able to handle a Special Division."

Yuki Kirisu said.

She remembered Kotone Asaba saying that the Devil Akane Sawatari had contracted with was the Snake Devil. Just from the name, it was obvious that its Devil power had to be very strong.

"Akane Sawatari? She is indeed a very promising and hardworking girl. I’ll pay more attention to her."

The chief administrator said.

"Speaking of which, why did Captain Asaba come in with you?"

At that moment, another man on the chief administrator’s right spoke.

"He is both the captain of Special Division 1 and currently my secretary, so he will be listening in from the side."

Yuki Kirisu smiled and said, "According to the rules, my secretary can sit here and listen, correct?"

In this kind of serious occasion, naturally, there was no way she would keep saying "small fry" over and over.

"No problem. Please, both of you, have a seat."

The chief administrator in the center said.

Yuki Kirisu then sat down, and Kotone Asaba sat beside her.

Kotone Asaba only planned to listen. Unless it was truly necessary, he did not want to interject.

Next, Kotone Asaba heard Yuki Kirisu and the three men discuss the issue of resource allocation. Kyoto Public Safety wanted Tokyo Public Safety to send some manpower over to support them. They were running short on their backbone forces, meaning elite Devil Hunters.

He noticed that the chief administrator’s tone was still all right, but the other two spoke more sharply and were less likable. Yuki Kirisu probably disliked dealing with those two.

Those two bluntly stated their thoughts, directly pointing out that Tokyo Public Safety had an excess of backbone forces. Rather than letting them sit idle at Tokyo Public Safety with nothing to do, it would be better to allocate some to places like Kyoto Public Safety where they were needed.

And honestly, that did seem to be the case. With just the two Special Divisions under Kotone Asaba’s command, never mind dominating Tokyo Public Safety, they were almost enough to dominate the entire world.

However, he had no interest in that kind of thing, because doing so would inevitably bring ordinary people a massive disaster.

For now, he was living comfortably enough. That was all he needed.
