Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Snow Woman Comes to Propose

"That’s still pretty good. You’re learning pretty quickly."

Kotone Asaba said this.

"Speaking of which, why did you suddenly come over? Is something going on?"

The Angel Devil asked curiously.

"Can’t I just come see you all without having anything important to do?"

Kotone Asaba smiled faintly.

All right, he really had come because he had something to do, but that was not something he could conveniently say out loud.

"Okay."

The Angel Devil immediately felt a faint warmth in his heart.

[Angel Devil Affinity +5%]

"No devils have appeared around here recently, right? Your lifespan reserves don’t seem to have changed much."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Yeah, it’s been peaceful lately. No devils have appeared here again, so I haven’t used my ability."

The Angel Devil nodded.

"That’s good. Anyway, if a devil you can’t deal with shows up, tell me right away."

Kotone Asaba said.

After that, Kotone Asaba stayed with the tribe until night, spending the whole time chatting and playing with the Angel Devil and Karana.

During that time, the Angel Devil’s Affinity rose again.

[Angel Devil Affinity +5%]

Now the Angel Devil’s Affinity was high enough too. Only Snow Woman remained. He was already one step away from unlocking the second part of the Codex.

However, Kotone Asaba was not in a rush for now. He still had to go to school tomorrow.

"It’s already late. I should head back and rest soon. Be careful from now on too."

After saying that, Kotone Asaba left.

He would also pay attention to the Angel Devil’s lifespan reserves from time to time. If they were not enough, he would help the Angel Devil get some more lifespan reserves.

As for Aki Hayakawa and Himeno, the two of them had probably already finished looking at the new house and taken the train back to Tokyo.

So Kotone Asaba simply went straight home.

The next day.

Kotone Asaba, Reze, and Makima went to school as usual.

After today’s classes ended, club activities began a little after three in the afternoon. In other words, they patrolled certain areas of the school.

The Devil Hunter Club had already assigned patrol areas to the three newcomers, Kotone Asaba, Reze, and Makima.

Actually, rather than feeling like a member of the Devil Hunter Club, Kotone Asaba felt more like he was on the student disciplinary committee.

After so many days, they had not discovered any devils or clues about devils at all. Instead, they had handled quite a few things that the student disciplinary committee would normally be responsible for.

And as luck would have it, this school really did not have a student disciplinary committee.

Clearly, the school also felt that it could not rely on a Devil Hunter Club made up of students to deal with devils that might appear at any time, with unknown levels of strength. So they simply handed the disciplinary committee’s duties to the Devil Hunter Club too.

For example, just now, Kotone Asaba had caught a couple kissing in public at school.

Of course, the senior high division was not actually that strict about student romance. It was just that the behavior could not be too blatant, especially not in public at school.

Once the scheduled club activity time ended, Reze and Makima left first to go to the supermarket and buy ingredients, since there was not much food left at home.

Kotone Asaba stayed at school a little longer, trying to see if he could find any clues about devils.

However, unsurprisingly, he still found nothing.

When it was almost time for the school gates to close, Kotone Asaba went home too.

Halfway home, Kotone Asaba suddenly saw a familiar figure.

That familiar figure was none other than Snow Woman.

In front of an ice cream truck, Snow Woman was waiting in line. She was wearing a distinctive kimono. Generally speaking, people did not wear kimonos while walking around the streets unless it was a special occasion or festival.

Combined with Snow Woman’s stunning beauty, she immediately drew many gazes from passersby around her.

Kotone Asaba hesitated for a moment, but still went over and greeted her. "Long time no see."

Snow Woman immediately turned around. It seemed that the voice sounded familiar to her, and sure enough, she saw that the person behind her was Kotone Asaba.

When she saw it was Kotone Asaba, Snow Woman immediately showed a delighted expression. "What a coincidence. I just came to find you, and I didn’t expect to run into you so quickly."

"It really is a coincidence. Speaking of which, are you lining up to buy ice cream?"

Kotone Asaba asked.

"Yes. It looks like it would be delicious, so I wanted to try it."

Snow Woman nodded.

Very soon, it was Snow Woman’s turn in line.

Snow Woman immediately said, "Boss, give me two ice creams."

"Sure!"

As the ice cream truck owner made the ice cream, he said to Kotone Asaba, "By the way, young man, does your girlfriend usually like dressing like this?"

"It’s not unusual..."

Kotone Asaba merely smiled a little awkwardly and did not deny the owner calling Snow Woman his girlfriend.

[Snow Woman Affinity +5%]

Snow Woman’s Affinity immediately rose.

After receiving the two ice creams from the owner, Snow Woman paid, then gave one of them to Kotone Asaba.

The two went to a nearby bench meant for people to rest and sat down.

At this moment, Kotone Asaba asked, "Speaking of which, where did your money come from? This should be your first time coming into contact with human society, right?"

"Although I really did stay in the snowy mountains before, I could often pick up human things in the mountains. That included the currency you humans use."

Snow Woman said, "Although that currency doesn’t work here in Japan, a kind person took me to exchange it for something called yen. These are what I have."

As she said that, Snow Woman even took out the yen she had on her and showed it to Kotone Asaba.

Kotone Asaba saw that it was so little and could not help feeling suspicious. "Wait, what you had before was probably euros or marks, right?"

"Yes. I remember that thing was called euros."

Snow Woman nodded.

"Then do you remember how many euros you exchanged with that so-called kind person? And where did you exchange them? Did you exchange them directly with that person by hand?"

Kotone Asaba asked.

He seriously suspected that Snow Woman had been scammed, and scammed badly.

Because if he did not count the money she had just spent on ice cream, Snow Woman only had two one-thousand-yen bills in total.

Converted, that was only a dozen or so euros. It could not be that Snow Woman had really only brought a dozen or so euros with her, right?

"I don’t really understand this either, but if you add up the numbers on them, I think it was two thousand euros? As for the exchange, it was indeed done directly by hand."

Snow Woman said with a completely innocent expression.

"..."

Kotone Asaba immediately fell silent.

Sure enough, Snow Woman had really been scammed.

The person who scammed Snow Woman was truly ruthless. Exchanging two thousand euros for two thousand yen at a one-to-one rate was simply...

"Let me tell you a bit of everyday knowledge. According to the rough exchange rate, a little over a dozen euros can be exchanged for two thousand yen."

Kotone Asaba said to Snow Woman in a calm tone.

It was as if he really was only telling Snow Woman something very ordinary, not anything serious.

"Huh...?"

Snow Woman took a while to react before finally understanding. "So that means I was scammed?"

"That’s right. You really were scammed, and badly."

Kotone Asaba nodded.

"..."

Snow Woman’s expression immediately changed, becoming both aggrieved and angry.

She had thought she had met a kind person, but it turned out he was a huge scammer. All her gratitude had been wasted for nothing.

"Do you still remember what that scammer looked like? Two thousand euros isn’t a small amount. This is already a crime. I can ask the police to investigate the case."

Kotone Asaba said.

Aside from punishing illegal behavior severely, he was also rather unhappy that someone had maliciously defrauded Snow Woman when she was this innocent and naive.

That scammer definitely never would have dreamed that he had successfully scammed a devil.

"No need."

Snow Woman was so angry that even her originally icy skin warmed slightly, and she said coldly, "I can find that scammer."

"Right."

Kotone Asaba had almost forgotten that Snow Woman was a devil. She definitely had extraordinary abilities.

Maybe running into Snow Woman here was not a coincidence either. Snow Woman probably knew he was nearby and had directly come looking for him.

"I’ll go with you too."

Kotone Asaba said.

Snow Woman licked her ice cream while angrily leading Kotone Asaba to find the scammer.

"Don’t be that angry. Just treat it as a lesson learned."

Kotone Asaba smiled and comforted her.

"It’s infuriating! And I actually thought that person was a really good person too!"

Snow Woman said indignantly.

Kotone Asaba could only smile a little helplessly.

Before long, Snow Woman brought Kotone Asaba to the scammer.

The scammer was a sloppily dressed middle-aged man, and he was counting money inside his messy little rental room. That money seemed to be the two thousand euros he had scammed from Snow Woman.

Just as the scammer was feeling smug, Snow Woman suddenly flew in through the window with Kotone Asaba.

The scammer was immediately startled. When he saw the familiar Snow Woman in particular, he panicked even more. "You! How did you get in?!"

"There’s no need to say anything else. You should know very well what crime you committed, right?"

Kotone Asaba directly showed his Tokyo Public Safety ID and said this to the scammer.

The scammer was completely stunned. He had indeed scammed someone out of money, but why was a Public Safety Devil Hunter here to arrest him?

However, Snow Woman said nothing. She simply pointed a finger at the scammer, and a burst of cold air immediately rushed over him.

The next moment, the scammer was directly frozen into an ice sculpture.

"Hm? Wait, don’t just freeze people without saying anything."

Kotone Asaba could not help saying this.

Snow Woman was a devil, so her identity was very special.

From a legal standpoint, this scammer did not deserve death, and if he was killed by a devil, the situation would become even more serious.

Although they could not confirm whether the scammer was already dead for now, he had been frozen into an ice sculpture. It felt like the odds of surviving were not high.

"He had to pay some price."

Snow Woman snorted lightly, seeming to have finally vented her anger.

"That price is a little heavy. Is he still savable like this?"

Kotone Asaba said.

"It’s not enough to kill him directly. I’m only making him accept a little punishment."

Snow Woman said, "I’ll thaw him out after a while. Don’t worry, he won’t die."

"That’s fine, then. Also, I’ve already called the police. Let the officers handle what comes next."

Kotone Asaba had already called the police just now.

After a while, Snow Woman finally thawed the scammer out.

The scammer’s life really was not in serious danger. He had just been frozen badly, his body trembling wildly as he looked utterly miserable.

It seemed Snow Woman’s ability was rather special. Even when she froze the scammer, she could still preserve his life.

"How is it? Understand how serious this is now? Will you still dare scam people in the future?"

Snow Woman asked coldly.

"N-No... I won’t..."

The scammer’s body was shaking so much that he could not even speak properly.

After that, the police arrived.

"What happened to him?"

The officer noticed that the scammer looked like a drowned rat, and his body was trembling nonstop. The weather clearly was not that cold.

Kotone Asaba immediately explained for Snow Woman. "She’s also a Devil Hunter. She used devil power to teach this scammer a lesson, but his life wasn’t endangered."

The officers did not doubt Kotone Asaba’s words.

After all, ordinary people like them had never heard of humanoid devils, so it was impossible for them to think of Snow Woman as a devil. And Kotone Asaba was also a captain from Tokyo Public Safety, so his words were fairly convincing.

"Even so, please try not to do this next time."

The officer thought Snow Woman was also a Devil Hunter from Tokyo Public Safety like Kotone Asaba, so he treated her rather leniently and only gave a verbal warning.

"Mm-hm. We’ll be careful next time."

Kotone Asaba answered on Snow Woman’s behalf.

After that, the money Snow Woman had been scammed out of was naturally recovered.

She also returned the two thousand yen the scammer had originally given her. As for the little bit of yen missing after buying the ice cream, Kotone Asaba helped make up the difference.

Kotone Asaba and Snow Woman solved the matter together, and Snow Woman’s Affinity rose again.

[Snow Woman Affinity +5%]

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

"It’s a good thing you reminded me. Otherwise, I would’ve kept thanking that scammer even after being scammed."

At this moment, Snow Woman could not help sighing with emotion.

"It was nothing. You won’t be scammed again in the future."

Kotone Asaba said.

Immediately after that, he asked directly, "Speaking of which, did you suddenly come to Japan to find me?"

"Yes."

Snow Woman also nodded honestly. "I came to marry you."

That one word, marry, immediately stunned Kotone Asaba.

This was way too direct. It caught him a little off guard.

Although he knew Snow Woman’s feelings, he had not expected her to come right out and say she wanted to get married.

"This... Are you serious about getting married?"

Kotone Asaba could not help asking.

"Of course I’m serious. Or do you not like it...?"

Snow Woman’s eyes immediately showed a trace of gloom.

"It’s not a question of whether I like it or not. The main thing is that it’s too sudden. Normally, people should start as boyfriend and girlfriend first, right?"

Kotone Asaba said, a little awkwardly.

"That does seem to make sense. So you mean we should start as boyfriend and girlfriend first?"

The gloom in Snow Woman’s eyes immediately disappeared.
