Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Tokyo Public Safety

"Speaking of which, Aki Hayakawa, have you ever used that sword?"

At that moment, Kotone Asaba suddenly asked.

By "that sword," he was naturally referring to the weapon from the Curse Devil.

The question Kotone Asaba suddenly asked made Aki Hayakawa’s expression change slightly.

"...Not yet. Why?"

"I see. It’s nothing, I was just asking."

Kotone Asaba did not plan to say that he knew it was the Curse Devil’s weapon. He simply wanted to know whether Aki Hayakawa had used it before.

After learning that he had not used it yet, Kotone felt a little more at ease. That also meant there was no problem with Aki Hayakawa’s lifespan right now.

In the original story, Aki Hayakawa had definitely used the Curse Devil’s power more than once. However, he had probably only used it a few times at most, since after dealing with Katana Man, he only had two years left to live.

Although Kotone Asaba did not say anything, Aki Hayakawa was not stupid. The fact that Kotone could ask a question like that already made it obvious. He had probably already figured out that Aki had a contract with the Curse Devil.

"What, what? Is there something special about that sword?"

The conversation between Kotone Asaba and Aki Hayakawa immediately stirred Himeno’s curiosity. "Now that you mention it, Aki does carry that sword on his back every day. It probably isn’t an ordinary sword, right?"

Kotone Asaba noticed that in just a few days, Himeno had already changed how she addressed Aki Hayakawa from "Hayakawa" to "Aki."

"It’s a weapon I obtained after making a contract with the Curse Devil," Aki Hayakawa said.

He did not hide it, and instead said it directly.

After all, Kotone Asaba already knew, and Himeno was his partner. Partners were supposed to know which devils each other had contracts with.

For example, he now naturally knew that Himeno had contracted with the Ghost Devil, and he was also clear on her specific abilities.

"The Curse Devil? That’s actually such a rare devil."

Himeno immediately felt surprised.

Ordinary people really did not know much about the Curse Devil. Only Public Safety Devil Hunters understood it relatively well, and there were not many people who could make a contract with the Curse Devil either.

"But if I remember correctly, to use the Curse Devil’s power, you have to pay with your lifespan, right?"

Himeno’s tone gradually began to change.

"That’s right," Aki Hayakawa replied.

"Aki, you can’t use that sword carelessly, okay? It would be best if you never used it."

Himeno emphasized this.

"Of course I won’t use it unless there’s no other choice," Aki Hayakawa said with a nod.

"Even if there’s no other choice, you still can’t use it."

Himeno immediately added.

"..."

Aki Hayakawa fell silent.

Kotone Asaba did not interrupt, but he also did not want Aki Hayakawa to use the Curse Devil’s power.

"By the way, why does Kotone want to come to Tokyo Public Safety too? The higher-ups at Chiba Public Safety are probably really upset. Such an incredible genius got stolen away by Tokyo Public Safety. Hahaha..."

Himeno suddenly remembered this and asked.

Although Tokyo Public Safety was indeed stronger overall than Chiba Public Safety, and the treatment was better too, she had noticed that Kotone Asaba seemed to have never considered Chiba Public Safety at all.

Then Himeno voiced her own guess. "Could it be that you’re like Aki, and you’re doing it to get revenge on the Gun Devil?"

If one had to name the biggest difference between Tokyo Public Safety and Chiba Public Safety, it would be their stance on the Gun Devil. Tokyo Public Safety attached particular importance to the Gun Devil.

Because of that, she suspected Kotone was the same as Aki. Rather, most of the Devil Hunters in Tokyo Public Safety had joined Public Safety to take revenge on the Gun Devil.

Kotone Asaba shook his head slightly. "Although I am indeed a little interested in the Gun Devil, I’m not joining Tokyo Public Safety because of the Gun Devil."

"Oh, I see."

It was obvious that Kotone did not want to say his real purpose, so Himeno did not continue asking.

Finally, the three of them arrived at Tokyo Public Safety.

In front of them was Tokyo Public Safety’s headquarters building.

"The higher-ups have already assigned you, Kotone. You’ll be in Devil Extermination Division 2, same as me and Aki. Since there isn’t anyone free to serve as your partner for the time being, the captain plans to have you act together with us."

As they walked into the Public Safety building, Himeno briefly explained the general situation to Kotone Asaba.

"Got it."

Kotone Asaba had no objections at all.

Rather, it suited him perfectly, since he would be able to act together with Aki Hayakawa and Himeno.

"Mm-hmm. Good thing Kotone doesn’t mind. With a strong partner like you, Aki and I can take it a little easier too. Hehe."

Himeno said this in a joking tone.

Although Aki Hayakawa felt a little speechless, there was indeed nothing wrong with what Himeno said.

With Kotone Asaba’s strength, even if they had to exterminate a devil that possessed a piece of the Gun Devil’s flesh, the pressure on them would drop sharply. Kotone Asaba might even be able to handle it all by himself.

"Everyone has already gone out on patrol at this time. When there’s a chance, let’s hold a welcome dinner for the newcomer. That way, Kotone can get familiar with his coworkers too. Aki as well. You’ve already been in Public Safety for this long, but you still don’t know many people."

Himeno suggested this.

And regardless of whether Kotone Asaba and Aki were willing or not, she decided it herself.

"You just want to drink, don’t you?"

"You just want to drink, don’t you?"

Kotone Asaba and Aki Hayakawa said the same thing almost at the exact same time.

Himeno’s expression immediately froze, and her gaze became extremely surprised.

"Kotone... how did you know?"

If one of her acquaintances had said that, she would have found it very normal and laughed it off.

For example, Aki already understood her fairly well.

But the Kotone standing in front of her had only met her twice in total, yet he actually knew that she liked drinking?

Aki Hayakawa, standing to the side, also found it a little strange. Kotone Asaba seemed to understand Himeno fairly well too, but had these two not only just met?

"..."

Kotone Asaba cursed inwardly.

He had instinctively made that retort just now and had forgotten that he had only just met Himeno.

Fortunately, his control over his facial expressions was very good. There was not the slightest ripple of emotion on his face as he explained calmly, "My eyes are fairly special. They can see the smell of alcohol on you. I could tell at a glance that you really like drinking."

"Wow, you can even see that? Though Kotone’s eyes really do look special at a glance."

Himeno did not suspect anything.

Aki Hayakawa also believed it.

For one thing, devil powers came in all kinds of strange forms. An ability that could see the smell of alcohol did not count as especially unusual. Based on what the two of them knew about Kotone Asaba, his other abilities, such as phasing his body, were far stranger than that.

For another, Kotone Asaba’s expression and tone had almost no flaws. There was no way to tell that he was making it up on the spot.

"All right, let’s talk business. We should first take Kotone to meet the higher-up. Back then, the higher-up specifically told us that he wanted to meet Kotone."

Himeno’s tone became unusually serious.

Kotone Asaba nodded. He was also a little curious about who the leader of the Devil Extermination Division would be.
