Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Bringing Power into the City

"My name is Kotone Asaba."

Kotone Asaba answered.

"Kotone Asaba? All right, I know it now."

Power nodded.

"Your true form is the Blood Devil, and your ability is controlling blood, right?"

Kotone Asaba said to Power while soothing the cat.

"That’s right. I can control my own blood however I want."

Power said proudly, "If I touch someone else’s blood, I can control that too, but it’s more troublesome and costs me a lot more."

After that, Kotone Asaba kept chatting casually with Power along the way.

Power’s Affinity gradually increased as well.

At this moment, Kotone Asaba and Power were already about to leave the forest. They could see a road not far ahead, and across the road, there were some buildings. It looked like a small village was there.

Then Kotone Asaba and Power brought the cat onto the road, where they could only see one or two cars occasionally driving past.

Kotone Asaba directly carried the cat across the road, and Power followed behind him.

Power looked completely careless, swaggering as she walked, not caring in the slightest whether there were cars coming from either side. Fortunately, there really were not many cars. Otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome if Power got hit by one.

Very soon, Kotone Asaba found a small shop. Although it did not sell proper cat food, he could at least buy some snacks that cats could eat. This little shop had quite a lot of snacks.

The main reason Kotone Asaba did not directly use the Kamui dimension to take the cat and Power away together was that he still could not trust Power. Power’s Affinity toward him was still too low right now. Also, with Power’s careless, thoughtless personality, anything he let Power know carried the risk of being exposed, and that risk was not small.

However, the moment the small shop owner saw Power, he recognized at a glance that she was a Fiend and immediately hid in fear.

"There’s no need to be afraid. I’m a Public Safety Devil Hunter, and although this one is a Fiend, she won’t randomly hurt people. I’ll keep an eye on her."

Kotone Asaba immediately showed his ID and continued, "We just want to buy some food for this kitten. It’s so hungry that it’s practically skin and bones."

After saying that, Kotone Asaba also glanced sharply at Power, clearly warning her not to cause trouble.

"Yeah, yeah! I’m an extremely intelligent Fiend! I won’t hurt anyone!"

Even at a time like this, Power did not forget to brag about herself.

As for Kotone Asaba’s warning look, she completely ignored it.

The small shop owner hesitated for a while, but still chose to trust Kotone Asaba and Power.

He was also very clear in his heart that if the other side really wanted to kill him, hiding would be useless. He might as well obediently do business and try not to provoke them.

Seeing that the owner had mostly calmed down, Kotone Asaba said to Power, "Stand obediently outside. I’m going in to buy the cat some food."

Power seemed rather unwilling and said, "I want tasty food too!"

"I know. I’ll buy some for you."

Kotone Asaba said this.

He then went inside and briefly picked things out, buying some small biscuits to serve as food for the cat.

Immediately afterward, he also bought Power a pile of random snacks. He did not know what kind Power liked to eat, but in any case, none of these snacks would taste bad.

Then he paid the owner for all the snacks.

It did not cost much in total. With his finances, this was nothing more than a tiny amount of pocket change.

Seeing that Kotone Asaba had really bought so much food for her, Power immediately became a little surprised. "I didn’t expect you to actually be a pretty good guy!"

[Power Affinity +10%]

Seeing the text prompts appear before him, Kotone Asaba immediately thought that, sure enough, this idiot Power was easy to coax. Just giving her tasty food could raise her Affinity quite a bit.

"What do you mean you didn’t expect it? How did you see me before?"

Kotone Asaba asked calmly.

"Before? You felt like a terrifying guy with some mysterious, weird ability."

Power said it directly.

Kotone Asaba smiled a little speechlessly. "If you hadn’t tried to sneak attack me back then, you wouldn’t have seen that ability."

Next, Power immediately opened those snacks and started stuffing herself.

"Not bad, not bad! This is much better than that bear meat!"

Power praised while eating.

[Power Affinity +5%]

When the owner off to the side heard the words "bear meat," a terrifying scene instantly appeared in his mind. He imagined the other party chasing a bear and directly gnawing on a living bear’s flesh, which sent a chill down his spine.

Kotone Asaba naturally did not eat those snacks. He was busy feeding small biscuits to the cat.

The kitten, which had originally been extremely weak, gradually gained some energy. Its meows no longer sounded as feeble as before.

Halfway through eating, Power seemed curious and crouched down to watch the kitten. As she watched, she gradually became absorbed.

Very soon, the little white cat was already full. Although its body still looked like skin and bones, since its appearance could not recover that quickly, it was already much more energetic.

"Meow."

It let out a comfortable cry.

Then the cat rubbed its head and back against Kotone Asaba, then went to rub against Power.

The cat’s affectionate gesture immediately made Power’s pupils shrink slightly.

"I wanted to eat you before, and you’re still thanking me? Little cat..."

Power directly lifted the cat with both hands and said this to it.

The cat was also very well-behaved and did not resist, allowing Power to lift it into the air.

"Idiot, the kitten can’t understand what you’re saying. It just simply thinks you’ll be good to it."

Kotone Asaba commented from the side.

"Bah! I’m not an idiot!"

Power stared at the cat in front of her and immediately felt a strange, subtle feeling. "Then I shall raise you properly myself. Even if I really do eat you, I’ll have to fatten you up first!"

"Meow."

The cat seemed to answer.

"If you really dare eat it, I won’t let you off."

Kotone Asaba teased Power.

Of course, he knew Power had already developed a special affection for the kitten and definitely would not eat it. He was only teasing her.

"Don’t worry. I’ll raise it properly!"

Power patted her not especially impressive chest and promised.

Kotone Asaba only smiled faintly, then said, "Then what do you plan to do next? Keep staying in the forest? Or come with me to the city?"

"The city?"

Power thought for a moment. "According to the memories, human cities seem pretty fun, and there’s lots of tasty food there?"

"That’s right. If you come to the city with me, you can eat any kind of tasty food whenever you want."

Kotone Asaba nodded.

He immediately began coaxing Power.

If Power continued staying in the forest, Power and the cat would run into the Bat Devil sooner or later, and some other accident might also happen.

"Really?"

Power immediately became interested.

"Of course it’s true."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Then I’ll go with you!"

Power agreed immediately without even thinking.

Yeah, she really was easy to coax.

The corners of Kotone Asaba’s mouth rose slightly.

Of course, this could not really be considered a trick. Power simply wanted to eat delicious food, and Kotone Asaba really could let Power achieve that goal.

"Depart! We depart at once!"

Power immediately hugged the cat in her arms, preparing to head to the human city with Kotone Asaba.

Then Kotone Asaba casually stopped a car on the road.

Some cars saw Power and were so frightened that they slammed down on the gas. Other cars did the opposite and stopped because they were scared.

"Don’t be afraid. I’m a Devil Hunter from Tokyo Public Safety..."

Kotone Asaba still used the same old method, showing his ID, and that was enough.

"O-Okay..."

"Just take us to Tokyo Public Safety. Is this amount enough for the fare?"

The place where Kotone Asaba was located was still within Tokyo, so it was not too far from Tokyo Public Safety.

As for the fare he offered the driver, it was ten times the normal taxi price. After all, stopping a car on the road together with a Fiend required enough sincerity, or it simply would not make sense.

"It’s enough! It’s enough!"

The driver’s eyes immediately lit up at the sight of money, and he gave himself plenty of mental comfort.

In any case, the other person was a Public Safety Devil Hunter. He had probably captured a Fiend and was bringing her back to Tokyo Public Safety. His own safety was definitely guaranteed!

The driver immediately stopped being afraid.

Kotone Asaba and Power then got into the car.

This was Power’s first time riding in a car, so she found it very novel. Inside the car, she not only looked around everywhere, she also acted like she had endless restless energy.

During the drive that followed, the driver discovered that the Fiend girl in the back seat was not as terrifying as he had imagined. She was completely like a lively human girl, if not for the pair of horns on her head that made her impossible to ignore.

On top of that, the Fiend girl was chatting and laughing with the Public Safety Devil Hunter. Looking at it this way, maybe she was a kind Fiend?

"This Fiend lady must be a kind Fiend, right? She’s very different from the Fiends I imagined."

At this moment, the driver could not help speaking.

In his understanding, or rather, in the textbooks schools had students study, Fiends were basically mentioned in the same breath as devils, described as devils wearing human skin.

"Of course! My intelligence isn’t something those Fiends can compare to!"

Power immediately said proudly.

"I see. That really is impressive."

The driver said with a cheerful smile.

Because of that, he no longer needed any mental comfort and basically lowered his guard against Power.

By this time, Kotone Asaba and Power had already arrived in front of Tokyo Public Safety.

"Miss Fiend, have fun in our human city."

The driver said to Power.

"I know!"

Power also answered.

"Speaking of which, where is this? Aren’t we going to eat tasty food first?"

Power looked at Tokyo Public Safety in front of her and did not recognize what it was.

"This is Tokyo Public Safety."

Kotone Asaba answered.

"Tokyo Public Safety? That seems to be the place for you human devil hunters, right? What are you bringing me here for?"

Power immediately asked.

"To have you join Tokyo Public Safety, of course."

Kotone Asaba said.

"No! That doesn’t sound interesting. I only want to eat tasty food!"

Power refused on the spot. After saying that, she wanted to directly leave while holding the cat.

"That won’t do. If you don’t join Tokyo Public Safety, you won’t be able to make money, because no place other than Public Safety would dare hire you. And if you don’t have money, you won’t be able to eat tasty food."

Kotone Asaba grabbed Power by the back of her collar and said, "You aren’t planning to dine and dash, are you? If you do that, I’ll personally arrest you, and I might even treat you as a devil to be exterminated."

After hearing Kotone Asaba say that, Power immediately did not dare resist and became obedient right away.

"Don’t worry. If you stick with me, you won’t need to do too much. Also, Public Safety Devil Hunters have high salaries, enough for you to spend on whatever you want to eat. Of course, if you go to expensive hotels every day, that still won’t hold up."

Kotone Asaba said.

"Good! I trust you!"

Power had no other choice.

Through her memories, she also knew that if one had no money in human society, it seemed they really would not be able to get by. If they broke the law, they would also be treated as a devil and exterminated.

And what Kotone Asaba said sounded pretty good, so she was still tempted.

"Then come inside with me."

Kotone Asaba said.

After that, Kotone Asaba brought Power into Tokyo Public Safety.

The gate guards were used to it. Even after seeing an unfamiliar Fiend, they did not stop them. They knew this should be another new colleague Captain Asaba had brought in.

Rumor had it that Tokyo Public Safety had been extremely peaceful recently, and the casualty rate was very low, all because Captain Asaba had brought in enough elite Devil Hunters that the colleagues in the Devil Extermination Division basically no longer needed to deal with especially powerful devils.

Kotone Asaba first brought Power to find Yuki Kirisu. He had the authority to decide on hiring Power, and only needed to let Yuki Kirisu know.

Then Power received a Public Safety uniform. Kotone Asaba immediately had her go take a proper bath again, then change into the Public Safety uniform.

"Huh? I have to bathe again? Didn’t I already wash?"

Power was indeed unwilling.

"You didn’t wash properly before. This time, wash yourself clean."

Kotone Asaba immediately threatened her. "If you don’t listen, I won’t give you your salary."

Power’s face immediately turned pale. "D-Devil..."

Under Kotone Asaba’s threat of withholding her salary, Power had no choice but to obediently go take a proper bath.

This time, she was basically washed clean. Then she changed into a brand-new uniform, and all traces of her previous slovenliness were gone.

"Very good. Now I’ll tell you about your work from now on."

Kotone Asaba said, "Most of the time, you basically won’t need to do anything, because you’re a member of the Special Division. You only need to fight when there’s an important mission. Though when that time really comes, I’m guessing you’ll probably play dead or slack off anyway."
