Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Why Did It Have to Be Me? (EC)

"...All right."

Asa Mitaka was momentarily at a loss for words.

Makima remained completely silent beside them, never once joining the conversation.

After a while, Asa asked, "So you’re really just here to attend school?"

"Yeah, that’s right."

Kotone Asaba nodded.

"That’s good."

Asa visibly relaxed a little. "I thought a Devil might have appeared somewhere in the school, and Public Safety Devil Hunters had infiltrated the place."

"That’s not the case," Kotone replied.

Although he could not be completely certain there were currently no Devils inside the school, he truly had not enrolled because of one.

"Then..."

At that moment, something suddenly occurred to Asa.

Since Asaba was a Public Safety Devil Hunter, could Makima, who had transferred into their class on the same day as him, also be one?

"Makima, are you a Public Safety Devil Hunter too?" Asa asked curiously.

"That’s right. She is too," Kotone answered on Makima’s behalf.

"Two Public Safety Devil Hunters transferring into our class at the same time? There must be something important going on, right?"

Asa grew even more concerned about the situation.

Just as Kotone was about to make up some excuse to brush the matter aside, Makima spoke without consulting him.

"It really is something very important to Asaba. After all, his mission is to protect you, Mitaka."

"..."

Kotone stared at her in disbelief.

He had not expected Makima to reveal that so directly.

"W-Wait, what?! Protect me? Why?"

Asa almost failed to process what she had heard, and a faint blush immediately appeared on her face.

Now Kotone had no choice but to continue along with Makima’s story and force out an explanation.

"That’s because a terrifying Devil will appear at this school in the near future."

"Didn’t you just say that wasn’t the case?" Asa asked.

"What I meant was that there isn’t a Devil here yet."

"I see. But... there are so many people in this school. Why am I the one you’re specifically supposed to protect?"

That was the question Asa cared about most.

As she asked it, her blush deepened, and she was clearly embarrassed to say it aloud.

"..."

Kotone had no idea how he could possibly explain that one.

After remaining silent for a moment, he finally invented a rather unconvincing excuse.

"I’m not entirely sure myself. It was a mission assigned to me by my superiors."

Makima had already seen through everything.

Had Kotone truly received an assignment from his superiors, she would certainly have been able to overhear it. In reality, no such order had ever been given.

Therefore, she knew Kotone had made the entire thing up.

"Is that so?"

Asa looked only half convinced.

She found it difficult to believe that someone like her, a girl who did not even have any friends, could possibly attract the attention and concern of Tokyo Public Safety’s leadership.

This only made her even more convinced that Asaba must be interested in her.

At the same time, a system notification suddenly appeared before Kotone’s eyes.

[Asa Mitaka’s Affinity increased by 5%.]

[Asa Mitaka’s Affinity has reached 30%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1.]

After seeing the system notification announcing the increase in Affinity, Kotone could more or less guess what Asa was thinking.

She probably believed he had a secret crush on her.

Still, since the misunderstanding had increased her Affinity, it worked perfectly in his favor. Asa could think whatever she wanted.
