Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Extra Reward

During the morning they had taken off, Kotone Asaba prepared to take Kobeni Higashiyama to buy new clothes and a cell phone.

High school students in this era generally did not have cell phones, and even the ones that existed could only be used to make calls, so the school did not have any relevant restrictions.

Naturally, he was buying Kobeni a cell phone to make it easier for them to stay in contact.

After buying the cell phone first, they went to a clothing store.

"Pick whatever clothes you like."

Kotone Asaba said this to Kobeni Higashiyama.

"Huh?... The clothes here all look really pretty. I don’t know how to choose. Kotone, could you help me look too?"

From childhood until now, Kobeni Higashiyama had almost always worn clothes that her older sisters had already worn before.

She had never bought clothes for herself, so she did not know what kind of clothes she liked.

She felt that anything pretty would be fine, but all the clothes here were pretty. Since she did not know how to choose, she wanted Kotone to help her pick them out too. After all, what Kotone thought looked good would be best.

After that, Kobeni Higashiyama slowly tried on outfit after outfit, letting Kotone Asaba judge them with his own eye.

In the end, they picked three outfits.

To Kobeni Higashiyama, even three new outfits felt like a lot, because she usually wore her school uniform.

Over the next few days, Kotone Asaba was not in a hurry to head to Tokyo Public Safety yet.

Originally, he could have left as soon as he finished handling Kobeni’s family problem.

Kobeni Higashiyama’s Affinity +5%

Kobeni Higashiyama’s Affinity progress has reached 80%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +1.

During this time, Kobeni Higashiyama’s Affinity had already risen to 80%.

It seemed as if her Affinity was almost full, but raising it from 80% to 100% was still not that easy.

After all, the higher the Affinity, the harder it was to increase.

Although reaching 100% Affinity progress would grant an extra reward, that reward was only five points of Constitution.

However, if the codex target was a devil, then reaching 100% Affinity progress would grant the other party’s ability. For example, if Pochita’s Affinity became full, he would gain the Chainsaw Devil’s ability, and could even directly transform into the appearance of "Chainsaw Man."

Humans and devils had different extra rewards when their Affinity became full. After all, the difficulty of raising a devil’s Affinity was on a completely different level from raising a human’s. Pochita counted as an easy case. If it were Makima instead...

Five points of Constitution was actually not little, but Kotone Asaba did not want to drag things out here for too long.

His main goals had originally been to unlock a new codex entry and help Kobeni resolve her family problem. Now that both had already been completed, it was about time for him to go to Tokyo Public Safety.

And Kobeni still had to go to school. There was no way he could keep Kobeni by his side. However, with his spatial teleportation ability, he could come back to see Kobeni at any time. As long as they had cell phones and could contact each other whenever needed, that was enough.

Also, yesterday, Kotone Asaba had taken Kobeni Higashiyama to hunt a devil for the first time.

He had not helped much. The hunt had basically been completed by Kobeni herself.

Afterward, he had also taken Kobeni to the Private Devil Hunter Guild to get certified.

Now, Kobeni had not only become an official private Devil Hunter, she was no longer short on money either.

"Then I’m leaving today. Remember to take good care of yourself. Call me anytime if something happens."

"Okay."

Kobeni Higashiyama had already known several days ago that Kotone was going to leave, so she had long since prepared herself mentally. Even so, there was still some reluctance in her eyes.

Kotone Asaba patted Kobeni Higashiyama on the head, then left.

As for the school, he had already talked things over with the principal. Today was Friday, and he would be leaving because he had proper business to attend to at Tokyo Public Safety.

Outside, Kotone Asaba glanced at his watch and thought that Aki Hayakawa and Himeno should be arriving soon.

Yesterday, he had called Aki Hayakawa and said that he now planned to enter Tokyo Public Safety.

After Aki Hayakawa passed the news to his superior, the higher-ups agreed on the spot.

So today, Aki Hayakawa and Himeno would be driving over to pick him up.

Just then, a small car slowly stopped in front of Kotone Asaba.

As the window rolled down, Himeno, who was sitting inside, said to him, "Get in!"

At the same time, he also saw Aki Hayakawa sitting in the passenger seat.

Aki Hayakawa and Himeno were currently partners, so the two of them usually acted together.

Codex entry activated: Aki Hayakawa.

Reward obtained: Constitution +1.

Current Affinity: 40%.

Aki Hayakawa’s Affinity progress has reached 40%. Achievement reward obtained: Constitution +4.

Aki Hayakawa’s codex entry immediately activated, and Kotone also obtained those Constitution rewards.

Kotone Asaba did not have a very clear concept of just how strong his current Constitution was. He only knew that using Kamui normally no longer placed much pressure on him.

He estimated that only Susanoo and extremely long-distance spatial teleportation could still bring him pressure.

For example, directly transferring himself from Japan to the United Kingdom through the Kamui dimension. The farther the distance, the greater the consumption.

As for Susanoo, it had multiple forms: the initial form, first form, second form, third form, fourth form, and Perfect Susanoo. Those were the ones he could use. There was no point mentioning the ones he could not use.

The higher the form, the more terrifying the consumption became. Perfect Susanoo would probably drain his body’s cells dry in no time.

There was also the matter of absorbing extremely large objects into the Kamui dimension, which would also cause massive consumption. After all, the larger the object’s volume, the greater the consumption.

However, that kind of situation almost never existed, unless he wanted to move an entire building into the Kamui dimension all at once.

Naturally, his physical qualities, such as strength and speed, also surpassed ordinary people in every way.

However, compared to Kishibe and Quanxi, he was still far behind. Even in old age, Kishibe’s hand-to-hand combat ability was still among the very best of humanity.

And although Quanxi was the Bow Hybrid, her hand-to-hand combat ability in human form was also extremely powerful. She was able to instantly kill forty-nine Devil Hunters and dolls. How she compared to a young Kishibe was unknown, but compared to an elderly Kishibe, she was clearly superior. After all, humans aged, while Hybrids never did.

She was not like that "useless katana" Katana Man. His Hybrid form was not that strong, and his human form was even weaker.

In a world like Chainsaw Man, Kotone Asaba obviously could not compare himself to ordinary people. His Constitution still needed to keep increasing. When it came to hand-to-hand combat, the best outcome would be for him to catch up to Kishibe and Quanxi. On top of that, he also wanted to truly use Kamui freely.

His greatest goal was definitely to be able to activate Perfect Susanoo and do whatever he wanted.

On the road, Kotone Asaba chatted casually with Himeno a little, but Himeno spent more time joking around with Aki Hayakawa.

Looking at Aki Hayakawa and Himeno, he actually hoped that these two could live a normal life together.

Once Makima came to the human world from Hell, he would definitely not let Makima control Aki Hayakawa.

In the original story, the reason Aki Hayakawa liked Makima was because he had been controlled and brainwashed. In the end, Aki Hayakawa did not even know why he liked Makima.

Otherwise, Aki Hayakawa and Himeno probably would have gotten together long ago.

So even if he unlocked Himeno’s codex entry later, Kotone Asaba would do his best to develop things in the direction of friendship. Besides, the current Himeno was clearly already interested in Aki Hayakawa.
