Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Every Secret Laid Bare
After a while, Kotone Asaba felt that there was nothing about Denji and Elena that he needed to worry about, so he went back.
After that, he also rented a room for Denji and Elena in the same apartment building where he lived, deliberately letting just the two of them live together.
In Kotone Asaba’s plan, there was only one final step left, and that was having Denji and Elena join Tokyo Public Safety’s Special Division too.
To put it simply, it was so they could get paid.
Besides, Denji liked showing off, right? This could satisfy him in moderation too.
However, this time Yuki Kirisu did not casually agree to Kotone Asaba’s request.
...
Inside Yuki Kirisu’s office at Tokyo Public Safety.
"Seriously? You want to recruit two more newcomers? And they’re both sixteen-year-old high school students?"
Yuki Kirisu looked troubled. "I know I’ve already given you as much authority as possible, but you still can’t go overboard when recruiting new people. The Special Division’s salaries aren’t low, and all of that affects my performance pressure."
"If they were Fiends like the ones before, the kind that are obviously strong, then I could still let you do whatever you wanted. But sixteen-year-old high school students with no record of hunting devils? Even if I allowed that, the higher-ups wouldn’t."
"In short, at the very least, they need some decent devil-hunting achievements. If they really are strong, that shouldn’t be hard."
Yuki Kirisu explained it to him for quite a while.
"Got it. I’ll have them build up some achievements."
Kotone Asaba nodded, able to understand Yuki Kirisu’s difficulties.
In any case, getting some devil-hunting achievements really would not be difficult for the current Denji and Elena. It could even be said that there were barely any devils who could be a match for Hybrids.
"Judging by your reaction, does that mean those two high school students really aren’t ordinary people?"
Yuki Kirisu asked with some curiosity.
If Kotone Asaba insisted on forcing the recruitment through, she definitely would not oppose him anymore.
But in the end, Kotone Asaba had not done that. Instead, he was willing to first let those two high school students hunt devils and build a record. That meant he was probably confident.
"They really aren’t ordinary people. You could even say they aren’t normal humans anymore."
Kotone Asaba spoke calmly, sounding a little mysterious.
"Not normal humans?"
Yuki Kirisu paused slightly, then immediately had a guess. "Don’t tell me they’re like Miss Reze...?"
She had known Miss Reze for so long by now, so naturally, she already knew Reze’s true identity. Besides, the fact that the Soviet military possessed Hybrids and was conducting Hybrid experiments was not exactly a secret on Tokyo Public Safety’s side either.
So she thought of Hybrids similar to Miss Reze.
What Yuki Kirisu found unbelievable was that this guy Asaba had suddenly brought back two more Hybrids, and they were even both kids. Could it be that he had cleaned out the Soviet military’s entire stock?
"That’s right. They’re Hybrids, just like Reze."
Kotone Asaba did not deliberately hide it either.
"So, did you empty out the Soviet military’s whole lineup or what?"
Yuki Kirisu could not help asking, "Based on the information I know, the Soviet military currently doesn’t have many Hybrids in total. Miss Reze was already one thing, and now you’ve brought back two more... You really went all-in poaching people from them."
"I brought them back fair and square. The military had no objections, so that’s not poaching."
Kotone Asaba said this with a perfectly justified expression.
After all, the Soviet military’s higher-ups had already been controlled by his genjutsu. Of course they had no way to object!
