Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: The Only Way Is to Devote Myself to You

As for Kyoto Public Safety’s request, Kotone Asaba was not very willing in his heart.

After all, the other party was clearly trying to poach people from his Special Division, and the Special Division was currently made up almost entirely of people he knew. How could he be happy about someone trying to poach his people?

"So, what exactly are you asking for?"

Yuki Kirisu asked directly.

"If possible, please split off some personnel from the Special Division and send them to support us."

The man on the chief administrator’s right said.

"I can understand Kyoto Public Safety lacking elite personnel, but our Special Division was only established recently, and the personnel inside the division still aren’t very stable. It isn’t suitable to transfer people at a time like this."

Yuki Kirisu was clearly taking Kotone Asaba’s feelings into account. She knew, and could tell, that Kotone Asaba definitely was not willing, so she directly declined on Kotone Asaba’s behalf.

"I see. In that case, there truly is nothing we can do."

At that moment, the chief administrator spoke.

Since even the chief administrator had said that, the two men on his left and right could not say anything more.

"However, aside from the Special Division, we do have other elite Devil Hunters as well. We can transfer some of those to Kyoto Public Safety."

Yuki Kirisu spoke again.

In reality, within the Special Division, aside from Kishibe, Himeno, and Aki Hayakawa, everyone else was a newcomer brought in by Kotone Asaba. It had barely weakened the overall fighting strength of Tokyo Public Safety’s original Devil Extermination Division. After all, Aki Hayakawa had originally been a newcomer too, while Captain Kishibe spent most days drinking and rarely went out to carry out missions.

This was also why, under pressure from the Cabinet, she had still been able to grant Kotone Asaba such great authority, and why the Cabinet had less and less to say about it now.

The newcomers Kotone Asaba brought in were more powerful and mysterious than the last, especially the trio of Makima, Reze, and Kobeni Higashiyama. The efficiency with which they had completed a previous mission had been absurdly high.

She actually knew Reze’s true identity, but there had been no trace of Reze fighting at the battle scene back then. It could even be said there had been no traces of battle at all. Somehow, that incredibly powerful Devil had instantly vanished as if erased from the world.

She suspected it had been done by that mysterious woman named Makima, whose ability was also mysterious and remained unknown to this day.

Then recently, Kotone Asaba had even brought Quanxi and several Fiends back. Those old bastards in the Cabinet had completely lost any grounds to complain about Kotone Asaba and the Special Division.

Now, with the Special Division led by Kotone Asaba, the pressure and cost Tokyo Public Safety faced when dealing with powerful Devils had been greatly reduced. They were also able to loosen up and focus more on training newcomers.

In short, Tokyo Public Safety truly did not lack elite personnel right now. Even if they sent the elite personnel outside the Special Division over to support Kyoto Public Safety, they would still have enough manpower.

Of course, there was no way they would really send all of them to Kyoto Public Safety. Sending enough as a gesture would be enough.

"Then we’ll have to trouble you, Miss Kirisu. We truly need elite personnel."

The chief administrator said.

The two sharper-tongued men, whose expressions had turned a little sour earlier, immediately relaxed as well.

They mainly had an information gap. They had assumed most of Tokyo Public Safety’s elite personnel had been transferred into the newly established Special Division, so they had directly thought of poaching people from the Special Division.

Who could have guessed that the Special Division was actually made up almost entirely of Kotone Asaba’s own people, and that each of them was stronger than the last?

"Mm. After I return, I’ll make some selections and probably transfer four or five elite personnel to Kyoto Public Safety. Then you can focus on training that girl named Akane Sawatari. With that, you should just about be able to form a special squad similar to the Special Division."

As Yuki Kirisu spoke, she also offered the other party a suggestion.

"Understood."

The chief administrator nodded.

If they could receive support from four or five elite personnel, the pressure on Kyoto Public Safety would be reduced quite a lot.

"Then could Captain Asaba serve as a special consultant? We also intend to establish a Special Division. We don’t need Captain Asaba to remain here, but from time to time, if there are issues, we may need Captain Asaba’s help. We absolutely won’t mistreat you when it comes to compensation."

At that moment, the chief administrator asked Kotone Asaba.

Yuki Kirisu nearly thought the other party was about to poach someone right in front of her. Fortunately, it was only a position similar to a remote consultant. Otherwise, she would have lost her temper with them.

"Since my apprentice will also be in Kyoto Public Safety’s Special Division, I think it’s not bad for me to serve as a special consultant and help out a little."

Kotone Asaba did not care much about the compensation. He mainly agreed out of consideration for Akane Sawatari. Since Kyoto Public Safety was willing to focus on training Akane Sawatari, he was willing to give them face.

For him, he could instantly transfer through the Kamui dimension anyway, so it was not much trouble.

The chief administrator could also clearly understand Kotone Asaba’s meaning. The main point was whether they were willing to train Akane Sawatari, so they would certainly do so properly. Akane Sawatari herself was already well worth training.

Not only did she possess the powerful Snake Devil, but the contract price was also relatively light. On top of that, she was diligent and hardworking. Looking across all of Kyoto Public Safety, there were not many people who could compare to that potential.

In the end, the meeting concluded with everyone satisfied.

Kyoto Public Safety obtained what it wanted, while Yuki Kirisu and Kotone Asaba were not offended. After the meeting ended, they prepared to return to Tokyo Public Safety.

When they left, it was still Michiko Tendo and Yutaro Kurose who saw them off and took them to the bullet train station.

...

Not long after Kotone Asaba and Yuki Kirisu left, the chief administrator directly had someone call Akane Sawatari over to meet him.

Akane Sawatari entered the chief administrator’s office a little nervously. This was her first time meeting the chief administrator.

She had absolutely no idea why the chief administrator wanted to see her, and she was even worried that she might have unknowingly violated something.

"Miss Sawatari, please, sit wherever you like."

The chief administrator spoke politely to Akane Sawatari, without putting on any airs as her superior.

"Yes!"

Akane Sawatari immediately felt a little overwhelmed by the favor and sat upright on the sofa.

"I already know that Miss Sawatari is Captain Asaba’s apprentice. I have also seen Miss Sawatari’s potential and level of effort."

The chief administrator explained his intention to Akane Sawatari. "Tokyo Public Safety will soon send four or five elite personnel over, and we will also soon establish a Special Division like Tokyo Public Safety’s. When the time comes, Miss Sawatari will be one of its members, and you will be able to enjoy more benefits and special resources."

"Special Division?"

Recently, Akane Sawatari had been busy with work and had not learned about Tokyo Public Safety’s Special Division.

"It is the division your master established at Tokyo Public Safety. It specializes in high-difficulty missions. Trivial matters such as daily patrols are not within the Special Division’s scope of responsibility, but the threshold for members joining the Special Division is also very high."

The chief administrator explained, "Of course, Miss Sawatari has already met that threshold."

"Oh, okay."

Akane Sawatari roughly understood now.

"Then, Miss Sawatari, what is your wish?"

Just after asking, the chief administrator added another sentence. "Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Captain Asaba will also become the Special Division’s special consultant. He will help you when necessary."

"I’m willing."

It was obvious that this Special Division had a considerable connection to Master, so Akane Sawatari immediately agreed without thinking too much.

Being called over by the chief administrator for a private conversation, receiving such a good attitude from him, and even being given a better position and treatment, Akane Sawatari felt that all of it was thanks to Master.

Because she was too modest, she did not think about how her own strength and effort were also a large part of the reason.

At that moment, Kotone Asaba and Yuki Kirisu were already at the bullet train station, and he suddenly saw the notification appear before his eyes.

It seemed the chief administrator had probably already said something to Akane Sawatari.

"Miss Kirisu, Captain Asaba, please take care on your way back. We’ll return first, then."

Michiko Tendo said.

"Mm. We should go too."

At that moment, Yuki Kirisu once again held Kotone Asaba’s arm, then suddenly noticed that Kotone Asaba looked a little distracted. "What’s wrong? You seem like you’re spacing out."

Kotone Asaba immediately came back to himself and said, "It’s nothing. I was just thinking about some small matters."

"Oh. Then let’s hurry and buy tickets."

Yuki Kirisu did not pay too much attention to it and immediately pulled Kotone Asaba along to buy tickets.

...

They were already seated on the bullet train.

Yuki Kirisu was doing the same thing as usual. Not only was she holding Kotone Asaba’s arm, but she was also using his shoulder as a pillow.

At that moment, Kotone Asaba was bored, so he said a few things about his thoughts regarding Tokyo Public Safety. "Right now, the pressure from high-difficulty missions is already being shouldered by our Special Division, isn’t it? I think the Devil Extermination Division can also start properly training newcomers."

"How so?"

Yuki Kirisu leaned against Kotone Asaba’s shoulder and asked.

"For example, you could imitate the Soviet Union’s system. Let newcomers undergo special training for half a year or so first, then slowly start exposing them to Devils. That way, newcomers can grow more safely and won’t die so early."

Kotone Asaba said.

"It is indeed possible now. Before, because manpower was relatively tight, most newcomers never received specialized training. Quite a few newcomers suffered because they lacked training."

Yuki Kirisu said.

Basically, after those newcomers entered Tokyo Public Safety, they were directly paired with a veteran, just like Aki Hayakawa and Himeno, and immediately had to start facing Devils.

Then, if they performed well, they might be assigned to an elite like Kishibe for specialized training.

This model was somewhat like throwing them into a pit and seeing who survived.

But there had been no other choice. With Tokyo Public Safety’s previous situation, if every newcomer first underwent a period of special training, then fresh blood simply would not be replenished fast enough. Tokyo’s public order would develop major problems. They could only act as if they were conscripting bodies for the front, sending any newcomer with decent strength straight up to hold the line.

The Soviet Union was different. Its national strength was much greater than Japan’s, and it had all kinds of "advanced technology," such as a considerable number of Hybrids.

Now, thanks to Kotone Asaba’s Special Division, Tokyo Public Safety could finally catch its breath. It really could imitate the Soviet Union’s system.

"But I’m only making a casual suggestion because I’m bored. You don’t have to take it too seriously."

Kotone Asaba said.

"No, I think this suggestion is quite good. After we return, I’ll slowly adjust the system."

Yuki Kirisu said, "It needs to be done step by step. For example, at the beginning, we can first set the special training period at one or two months, then slowly increase it later. If we suddenly make all newcomers train for half a year or a year, manpower will easily fail to keep up."

"Mm. If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll do my best to help you."

Kotone Asaba said.

"What should I do? I’m starting to feel like I want to repay you with myself."

Yuki Kirisu’s tone was charming as she said, "I have no way to repay such kindness, so I can only give myself to you."

Hearing the latter half, Kotone Asaba felt that this woman was teasing him again.

She had deliberately used an old-fashioned romantic cliché.

"Stop saying things that will make people misunderstand. Aren’t you afraid I’ll take it seriously?"

Kotone Asaba said calmly.

"Hehe, I’m joking."

Yuki Kirisu smiled playfully, but after staying silent for a while, her tone suddenly became strangely serious as she said, "But if you really did take it seriously, I don’t think that would be bad either."

"..."

Kotone Asaba was immediately speechless.

Why had this woman’s tone suddenly become serious?

Just as Kotone Asaba was struggling over that, he noticed that Yuki Kirisu had suddenly fallen asleep.

However, Yuki Kirisu had not actually fallen asleep. She was pretending to sleep. Half of her face was pressed against Kotone Asaba’s shoulder, while the other half was covered by her long hair. Unless one looked carefully, no one would notice the faint blush on her face.

Kotone Asaba was still thinking things over internally, and did not notice that Yuki Kirisu was pretending to sleep or the faint blush on her face.

On the way back to Tokyo, they did not encounter any more accidents. The trip went smoothly, and they returned to Tokyo Public Safety without incident.

...

After getting off the bullet train, Yuki Kirisu acted as if nothing had happened again, chatting and laughing with Kotone Asaba as if she had never said those suggestive words earlier at all.

Seeing Yuki Kirisu like this, Kotone Asaba thought that sure enough, this woman had only been joking with him, so what was he still struggling over?

Damn it, he had been toyed with again...

Kotone Asaba stopped worrying about it so much.

After returning to Tokyo Public Safety, Yuki Kirisu immediately went to handle work.

Although she had taken a trip far away today, she had already rested enough during the bullet train ride.

She needed to arrange the matters she had agreed on with Kyoto Public Safety today and consider which five elite personnel to send to support Kyoto Public Safety.

Kotone Asaba, meanwhile, went back. First, he returned to the Kamui dimension.

Today, while he had still been in Kyoto, when he passed by an arcade store, he had specially bought some new games that Little Gun and Pochita had never played before.

Now he was going to bring those games to Little Gun and Pochita.

"You probably haven’t gotten bored of the new games I bought last time yet, right? I brought you some more new ones."

Kotone Asaba said.

[Pochita Affinity +5%]

[Gun Devil Affinity +5%]

[Gun Devil Affinity progress has reached 70%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1]

Little Gun and Pochita’s Affinity immediately rose.

If Kotone Asaba remembered correctly, Pochita’s total Affinity progress was currently already at 95%. It was not far from 100% Affinity anymore.
