Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Power

"Yeah."

Kotone Asaba nodded shamelessly.

In any case, he could not bring himself to reject Snow Woman.

"Okay! Boyfriend and girlfriend is pretty much the same thing!"

Snow Woman smiled happily, then held Kotone Asaba’s arm.

[Snow Woman Affinity +5%]

"It’s already so late. Let’s go to my place for dinner first."

Kotone Asaba said.

Kotone Asaba brought Snow Woman back home.

When Reze saw the beautiful girl in a kimono standing beside Kotone Asaba, she was stunned for a moment.

But she quickly reacted. This should be the Snow Woman Devil Kotone Asaba had mentioned before.

Reze was not surprised by Snow Woman’s arrival. After all, she had long known that Kotone Asaba had already been latched onto by Snow Woman, and that she would eventually come knocking.

She just had not expected Snow Woman to come this quickly, and for Koto to personally bring her home.

At this moment, Reze narrowed her eyes and smiled at Kotone Asaba without saying a word.

That made Kotone Asaba feel a little guilty.

Makima had already known that Kotone Asaba would bring Snow Woman back, so she had no reaction. After all, she was monitoring Kotone Asaba at all times.

And at this moment, Snow Woman was still holding Kotone Asaba’s arm. Looking at Reze and Makima before her, she immediately asked Kotone Asaba, "Who are these two ladies?"

As soon as Snow Woman asked that, Kotone Asaba could immediately feel threatening gazes coming from both Reze and Makima.

"Ahem..."

Kotone Asaba then explained his relationship with Reze and Makima to Snow Woman with extreme seriousness.

It took an enormous amount of effort before he finally explained his relationship with Reze and Makima clearly.

"So that’s how it is..."

After listening, Snow Woman said with a blank, adorable expression, "I still don’t really understand, but I think I basically get it."

Kotone Asaba did not know exactly how much Snow Woman had understood, but seeing a flash of disappointment deep in Snow Woman’s eyes, she had clearly understood more or less.

During dinner afterward, Snow Woman did not seem particularly off.

"It’s so delicious. This is the first time I’ve ever eaten food this good!"

Snow Woman ate with great enthusiasm and happiness.

Reze and Makima were also able to get along with Snow Woman normally.

Especially Reze. Back when she and Kotone Asaba had talked about the legend of Snow Woman, she had already expected this day to come, so she had long been mentally prepared for how to get along with Snow Woman.

"Speaking of which, do you not have any casual clothes besides kimonos?"

At this moment, Kotone Asaba asked Snow Woman.

"I do, but I didn’t bring them. My other clothes are all at my original home."

Snow Woman said.

"Then I’ll take you out tonight to buy some new clothes. Wearing only kimonos every day is still pretty strange."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Okay."

Snow Woman nodded gladly.

Kotone Asaba then brought Snow Woman to the mall and bought her some new clothes that fit well and looked good.

A few days later.

[Snow Woman Affinity +5%]

[Snow Woman Affinity progress has reached 80%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1]

[The Affinity of all fourteen targets in the first part of the Codex has reached 80% or higher. The second part of the Codex has been successfully unlocked.]

Finally...

Kotone Asaba could not help sighing with emotion. He had finally unlocked the second part of the Codex.

He immediately opened the Codex somewhat impatiently and flipped straight to the first page of the second part.

Theoretically speaking, the first and second pages of the second part of the Codex should both have been unlocked already.

After that, Kotone Asaba saw that the first page of the second part of the Codex displayed... Power.

But when he tried to keep flipping, he discovered that the second page of the second part had not been unlocked. It seemed the rules for the second part of the Codex had changed, and it could only be unlocked slowly, one page at a time.

In that case, he could only hope it would not unlock any particularly troublesome Codex targets.

In any case, for now, he had to go find Power first!

According to the detailed information given by the Codex, Kotone Asaba directly transferred to the forest where Power was located.

As soon as he arrived at his destination, Kotone Asaba heard a girl’s voice.

"Meowy, your name is Meowy! You smell pretty tasty!"

Kotone Asaba looked in the direction the voice came from and saw a girl with messy hair, a filthy body, and no clothes on.

The girl was sitting on the corpse of a brown bear. The ferocious brown bear had been split directly in half by something unknown, and its death was too gruesome to look at.

The girl’s messy hair could barely be seen as brown. Bright red horns grew from her head, and her eyes were extremely distinctive, made up of pale golden irises and cross-shaped pupils.

It was obvious. This girl was a Fiend, and this Fiend girl was currently talking to a white cat.

"Meow..."

The white cat was skin and bones. It had probably been hungry for a very long time, so hungry that it was almost unrecognizable, and even its cry sounded very weak.

[Codex activated: Power]

[Reward obtained: Constitution +1]

[Current Affinity: 0%]

That was right. The Fiend girl before him was none other than Power.

Kotone Asaba recognized her at a glance.

However, he did not disturb Power for the time being. Instead, he quietly watched Power communicate with the cat.

"What happened to you? You’re so skinny..."

Power rested her chin on one hand and looked down at the frail white cat below her. In her eyes, that cat seemed like a toy whose life or death she could decide at any moment. "Whatever. I’ll fatten you up a little before I eat you!"

Just as Power was thinking about what she should feed the cat, she suddenly smelled the delicious scent of "food." To be precise, it was the scent of a human.

Power immediately turned around and then saw Kotone Asaba.

"A human? You look like a human, all right. But why are your eyes so strange?"

Power stared at Kotone Asaba’s unusual eyes and tilted her head in confusion.

She had almost mistaken the person in front of her for a Fiend, but from his scent, he felt unmistakably human.

"I might as well kill you. I don’t know if Meowy likes eating humans or bears more, so I’ll just let Meowy choose later!"

Power muttered to herself for a while, then prepared to attack Kotone Asaba.

Kotone Asaba merely smiled faintly.

He ignored Power for the time being and walked straight toward the frail white cat.

Right in front of Power, he directly picked up the white cat.

He planned to buy some cat food for the cat first. For someone like him, who liked small animals such as cats and dogs very much, the cat’s dangerous physical condition was the top priority.

Seeing Kotone Asaba’s actions, Power immediately became unhappy.

"Human! What do you think you’re doing? That is my food!"

Power shouted at Kotone Asaba with a dissatisfied expression.

"Don’t overthink it. I just want to take it to eat something."

Kotone Asaba explained.

"Oh! Is it something delicious? Then I’m going with you too!"

Power immediately followed Kotone Asaba with great enthusiasm.

Although the brown bear’s corpse was right beside them, she did not like the taste of raw bear meat, so she felt Meowy probably would not like something that unpleasant either.

However, whether she was following Kotone Asaba to eat something delicious, or planning to turn Kotone Asaba into something delicious, was unknown.

"You can follow me, but you have to wash yourself clean first, then put on clothes. I’ll give you a set of clothes when the time comes."

Kotone Asaba said to Power.

There was everything in his Kamui dimension, so he could take out a set of clothes for Power at any time.

He could not let Power follow him filthy, stinking, and completely unclothed like this. If other people saw it, he would definitely be treated like a pervert.

And Kotone Asaba knew that Power really disliked cleanliness. Next, he wanted to slowly make Power correct that bad habit.

"There’s a small river over there. Go wash yourself clean. I’ll come back for you soon."

Kotone Asaba pointed in a certain direction and said this.

With his Mangekyō Sharingan, he could easily see that there was a small river not far away in that direction.

"No! Taking a bath is too much trouble!"

Power shook her head hard, completely unwilling to listen to Kotone Asaba.

Kotone Asaba sighed faintly. Sure enough, she was the Blood Fiend he knew, the one who hated staying clean.

"Then I won’t bother with you. Don’t keep following me either."

Kotone Asaba used this as a threat, pretending that he was going to leave Power here.

He understood Power very well. It was not because he thought he, a stranger she had just met, was especially important to Power, but because he had taken Power’s cat. Power definitely would not let that go.

Sure enough, a trace of viciousness appeared on Power’s face. She was clearly angry.

That cat was obviously the food she had gotten first. This bastard human had actually stolen her food!

Power quietly approached Kotone Asaba, trying not to make any sound, then used the blood inside her body to form a blood hammer in her hand. She suddenly launched a sneak attack and smashed it fiercely toward Kotone Asaba’s head.

If this had been an ordinary person, they probably would have been directly smashed into a meat patty by the bloody hammer.

Unfortunately, Kotone Asaba was not an ordinary person.

Kotone Asaba had long been on guard. He knew Power would try to sneak attack him. He wanted to use this chance to establish authority in front of Power.

From the very beginning, he had been in a phasing state. Naturally, the white cat had also been placed in a phasing state by him, which was why it had not fallen through his hands.

The bloody hammer missed directly, passing through Kotone Asaba’s body without injuring him in the slightest.

Power felt no sensation of hitting her target at all. Instead, she almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Shock immediately appeared in her eyes. What was going on?!

"Were you trying to sneak attack me just now?"

At this moment, Kotone Asaba turned around and looked at Power, the faint smile still on his face.

He did not show any killing intent or hostility at all.

But in Power’s eyes, it was completely different. Looking at the smile all over Kotone Asaba’s face only made her feel even more afraid.

The main reason was that she really had just sneak attacked him, so now she was overwhelmed with guilt.

Power was extremely worried that he would retaliate against her. Dense beads of cold sweat appeared on her face, and her earlier rebellious arrogance completely vanished. She immediately begged for mercy. "I was wrong! I’m sorry!"

"Why are you so scared? I never said I was going to do anything to you. So are you willing to listen now?"

Kotone Asaba said somewhat helplessly.

"Mm-hm!"

Power hurriedly nodded.

Then she immediately ran to the river Kotone Asaba had pointed out, casually washed herself for a while, and quickly caught up again.

Kotone Asaba glanced at Power. Even though she had only washed herself casually, Power was much cleaner all over than before. At the very least, there was no longer any foul smell.

Then he immediately took a set of clothes out from the Kamui dimension and tossed it to Power. "Here. Put this on properly."

Power looked at the clothes Kotone Asaba threw over with disgust and said reluctantly, "I don’t like this stuff. It feels troublesome, and wearing it is uncomfortable too."

"Hm? Are you already not listening?"

Kotone Asaba deliberately put a trace of threat in his tone.

"I’ll listen! I’ll listen!"

Power was immediately frightened.

Even though she was unwilling, out of fear of Kotone Asaba, she still obediently listened.

Power only dared to mutter quietly under her breath while putting the clothes on properly.

"Are you really human? Why are you so strong? Or are you one of those devil hunters?"

Although Power, or rather the Blood Devil, had only recently come to the human world and had stayed in the forest the whole time without contact with human society, she had occupied the corpse of a human girl and also obtained that human girl’s memories.

So she knew what cats were, and she also knew what devil hunters were.

If the guy in front of her really was human, then he should be one of those devil hunters from her memories, right? Otherwise, why would he be so strong that she could not hit him at all?

"That’s right. I’m human, and I’m also a devil hunter."

Kotone Asaba said, "As for you, since you’re a Fiend who occupied a human corpse, was the original owner of this body killed by you?"

"No! Hey, hey, don’t falsely accuse me!"

Power immediately explained, "This human girl originally got lost in the forest, then that brown bear killed her. I happened to pass by, so I borrowed her corpse for a bit. I even avenged her!"

"All right. Seeing how you suddenly tried to sneak attack me, I didn’t expect you to actually do good deeds."

Kotone Asaba deliberately teased her.

Although Power loved lying, her skill at lying was not actually that good. She was just shameless. If she lied, it was rather easy to tell, especially since his insight was extremely sharp.

He could tell that Power had not lied just now, so that was true.

"Th-That was your fault too! It definitely wasn’t my fault! Who told you to steal my Meowy? I was clearly the one who got it first!"

Power argued stubbornly.

"I never said I wouldn’t give it back to you. You’re the one who overthought it."

Kotone Asaba said calmly.

"Let’s not talk about that. Speaking of which, what’s your name? My name is Power!"

When she said her own name, Power’s expression clearly became proud. Evidently, she was very satisfied and proud of the name Power.
