Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: A Sharp Tongue

"Oh? You mean you want to collect the evidence yourself?"

Yuki Kirisu casually patted the chair she had just dirtied by stepping on it, then sat back down properly. She propped her chin up on her hands on the desk, or more accurately, on her sleeves, since her hands were too short to reach out of the cuffs.

"Exactly. I’ll collect the evidence."

Kotone Asaba nodded.

"Can you really handle it alone? Do you need me to send a few more people to help you?"

Yuki Kirisu asked.

"No need. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving."

After saying that, Kotone Asaba turned and left.

For someone with double Kamui, infiltrating a yakuza building to collect evidence was as easy as turning over his hand. If someone acted with him, they would only get in his way.

Once he collected the evidence, Tokyo Public Safety would naturally carry out a suppression operation.

His goal was to wipe out the Hamano family’s yakuza group completely and eliminate any future trouble.

He himself did not care, but that yakuza group was a threat to Denji.

The reason he needed Tokyo Public Safety’s help was because he could not completely uproot them with his own strength alone.

He did not even know the exact location of the yakuza building, and besides, the Hamano family’s yakuza influence was very broad. He had to borrow Tokyo Public Safety’s power to find all of them.

On top of that, wiping out an entire yakuza group by himself would be far too exhausting. Wouldn’t it be much easier to let Tokyo Public Safety arrest all those people and sentence them to death?

Gun Devil flesh pieces were especially important to Tokyo Public Safety, or more accurately, to the Japanese government.

Their ambition was that if, in the future, they had a chance to seize the Gun Devil’s main body, no matter what percentage of it they obtained, even if it was only one percent, they could use the Gun Devil flesh pieces they had collected to fuse with that main body. The more flesh pieces fused into it, the stronger the main body would become.

Because of that, it was a serious crime for non-Public Safety Devil Hunters to secretly possess Gun Devil flesh pieces.

In this world, nuclear weapons had already been eaten by Pochita. The very concept of nuclear weapons was completely gone, but the Gun Devil had now taken their place.

An ordinary person secretly possessing Gun Devil flesh pieces was like secretly possessing nuclear weapon parts. The nature of the crime was extremely serious.

At the same time, Aki Hayakawa and Himeno, who were outside the door, had naturally heard what Kotone Asaba had just said.

"Asaba really plans to act alone? He doesn’t need me and Aki to help?"

Himeno was somewhat uneasy about it, so she asked as soon as Kotone Asaba came out.

"I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me."

Kotone Asaba said.

"All right!"

Seeing Asaba so calm and confident, Himeno did not say anything more.

"By the way, is that superior of ours in Tokyo Public Safety really okay?"

While walking, Kotone Asaba sighed with feeling.

After that brief interaction, he felt that Yuki Kirisu was not very reliable.

"Haha, I knew Asaba would think that. Don’t let Miss Kirisu’s behavior fool you. She’s actually very capable."

Himeno said.

"Her leadership ability might be a little lacking, but she doesn’t interfere too much with the divisions. Most things that aren’t especially important are arranged by each division’s captain on their own."

Aki Hayakawa also said, "As for strength, I heard that aside from Captain Kishibe of Devil Extermination Division 1, she’s the strongest."

"I see..."

Kotone Asaba could not help feeling surprised.

He had originally thought Yuki Kirisu had gotten this position purely because she was the Public Safety Minister’s daughter. He had not expected her strength to be second only to Kishibe’s.

The fact that the Public Safety Minister would allow his own daughter to become a Devil Hunter also surprised him a little.

Unless the price was very light, becoming a Devil Hunter was not a good thing. Besides, with her status as the daughter of a Cabinet minister, there was no need for her to take up such a dangerous profession as Devil Hunter at all.

Still, he would not judge. That was someone else’s choice.

After that, Aki Hayakawa and Himeno first took Kotone Asaba to receive the basic Public Safety uniform, then took him to the residence Public Safety had arranged for him.

Tokyo Public Safety arranged a dormitory for every Public Safety Devil Hunter, and the dormitory conditions were quite good.

Besides the high salary and included housing, there was also top-class medical insurance and plenty of paid leave.

Public Safety Devil Hunters received much better treatment than private Devil Hunters, but relatively speaking, working as a Devil Hunter in Public Safety was also much more dangerous than working privately.

That was because aside from daily patrols, Public Safety Devil Hunters were sent out every time to deal with powerful Devils that private Devil Hunters could not handle, so casualties among Public Safety Devil Hunters happened often.

In the dormitory, Kotone Asaba changed into the Public Safety uniform.

He had already asked where the yakuza building was. Something like that was easy to find out with a casual question, because the Japanese yakuza could exist legally, so many people in Tokyo Public Safety knew about that yakuza building.

Though the yakuza’s existence being legal did not mean they could break the law, the Hamano family was too powerful and definitely had connections. No one cared if they secretly did shady business.

Now, Kotone Asaba was preparing to visit that yakuza building. He did not plan to change out of his uniform and into civilian clothes, because it made no difference whether he changed or not.

Kotone Asaba took a car to the area near the yakuza building and had already prepared a camera.

Since he had come to collect evidence, naturally, he needed to take photos with a camera.

The yakuza building before him was not much less imposing than the Public Safety building.

Ordinary people did not dare approach it casually. Most of the passersby nearby kept their distance.

The yakuza building was within Kotone Asaba’s line of sight, and he directly teleported to the very top of it.

No one noticed a figure suddenly appearing on the roof. Kotone Asaba only paused there for a brief instant before slipping into the building in a state of phasing.

Yakuza members could be seen everywhere inside the building. He searched downward floor by floor, moving along places no one could see, like inside the walls.

He had not yet found where the Gun Devil flesh pieces were stored, but he did discover quite a few firearms.

Although countries around the world had long since passed laws one after another to strictly control gun ownership and gun manufacturing, this was only surface-level effort meant for ordinary people to see. Ordinary people did not know that the Gun Devil had long since been defeated, and was even being kept under strict secrecy by various countries.

The firearms possessed by the yakuza were also man-made objects. In the original story, the claim that they had formed contracts with the Gun Devil was purely made up. Everyone in the world who bought and sold firearms claimed they had obtained them by trading with the Gun Devil. This was done to fool ordinary people. As for the existence of man-made firearms, they were also manufactured secretly by various countries behind the scenes.

The more people feared "guns," the stronger the Gun Devil became, and the stronger the deterrence of the countries that possessed the Gun Devil’s main body became. Because of that, it was absolutely impossible for guns to be completely banned.

Maybe only countries like Japan, which did not have the Gun Devil’s main body, truly wanted to ban guns. That was why the yakuza generally did not dare show firearms openly either. They hid all of them in secret rooms inside the building.

When Kotone Asaba descended to the eighth floor, he discovered a heavily guarded storeroom. The door and walls of the storeroom were extremely thick, and several armed yakuza members were guarding the entrance.

This was the first time he had seen armed yakuza members. Clearly, this was an extremely important place, and there was a high chance the Gun Devil flesh pieces were stored inside.
