Chapter 54: Chapter 54: The Operation Begins
At the moment, without Makima’s setup, the Hamano yakuza did not have Katana or the Snake woman. All they had was an incompetent young boss, Daiki Hamano.
Aside from that, the zombies in the building basement no longer existed either. Because of Kotone Asaba’s intervention, the old man from the Hamano family had come into contact with the Zombie Devil ahead of time, causing the course of events to change. Before he could turn the people who could not repay their debts into zombies, he died.
Because of that, the current Hamano yakuza’s only threat was firearms.
"I’ll remind them when the time comes."
Yuki Kirisu said.
Afterward, Kotone Asaba left the office.
Since Aki Hayakawa and Himeno had been waiting to go on patrol with Kotone Asaba, the two of them were still in the Public Safety building.
Kotone Asaba soon found Aki Hayakawa and Himeno and explained the situation to them.
"You collected the evidence that quickly? Then we won’t need to patrol today. We should prepare for the operation that’s about to begin."
Himeno’s tone was somewhat surprised.
"That yakuza group really hid a large amount of Gun Devil flesh pieces?"
Aki Hayakawa cared more about that.
"That’s right. These are the photos I took there."
Kotone Asaba showed the photos to Aki Hayakawa and Himeno.
Aki Hayakawa saw that they were indeed Gun Devil flesh pieces, and many pieces were stuck together.
As for Kotone Asaba easily infiltrating the yakuza building and obtaining evidence, neither Aki Hayakawa nor Himeno found it especially surprising.
Because both of them knew that Kotone Asaba’s abilities were already elusive by nature.
"There are firearms inside the yakuza building. They should have been obtained through a trade with the Gun Devil. Be careful when the time comes."
Kotone Asaba especially needed to remind Aki Hayakawa and Himeno about this.
He did not reveal the truth because he did not want to make an enemy of the world.
If he told them the true origin of firearms, every country would view him as a thorn in their side.
He still had other things to do. At least for now, he did not want to be targeted by countries around the world.
"Oh? Asaba sure knows a lot!"
Himeno said in surprise.
Any ordinary person could guess that a major yakuza group like the Hamano family would definitely have firearms hidden away, but the idea that the Hamano yakuza had obtained firearms by trading with the Gun Devil was not something an ordinary person would know. Even she had only heard that the firearms currently circulating seemed to have come from contracts with the Gun Devil.
Aki Hayakawa’s expression immediately changed, and his gaze turned cold.
Before this, he had not known about that, because he only focused on the Gun Devil and did not care about firearms.
Today, every Devil Hunter in Tokyo Public Safety had been recalled, and they had already been informed of the situation.
Yuki Kirisu had not forgotten to remind them that there were guns inside the yakuza building either, and she also explained the origin of those firearms as the result of contracts made with the Gun Devil using money.
The higher-ups in the Japanese Cabinet definitely knew the true origin of firearms. Yuki Kirisu, as the daughter of the Public Safety Minister, probably knew it very well too, but this kind of thing could not be known by ordinary people.
At the same time, Yuki Kirisu had already contacted the police so they could cooperate with Public Safety in the operation.
At this moment, they were drafting the operation plan. Kotone Asaba saw every Devil Hunter in Tokyo Public Safety, including the captains of the various Devil Extermination Divisions.
Naturally, he also saw Kishibe, who seemed to be the captain of Devil Extermination Division 1.
However, until the meeting ended, Kotone Asaba never exchanged a word with Kishibe, because there was nothing much to talk about.
He did, however, get a little more familiar with the teammates in Devil Extermination Division 2.
After the operation plan was finalized, the Public Safety Devil Hunters each went home to rest and conserve their strength for the operation that would begin tomorrow.
Kotone Asaba was no exception. He stayed at home and played with Pochita.
[Pochita Affinity +5%]
During this period, Pochita’s Affinity increased a little again. The current Affinity progress had already reached 65%.
Once the Affinity progress reached 100%, he would be able to obtain Pochita’s ability.
At the moment, the Affinity was increasing a little slowly, but there was no need to rush it. Given enough time, the Affinity would naturally fill up.
The day of the operation arrived.
The Public Safety Devil Hunters and the police were split into several groups, and the large group raiding the yakuza building was the main force.
At this moment, Kotone Asaba, Aki Hayakawa, and Himeno were in the same car, on their way to the yakuza building.
"Aki, be careful later, okay? Don’t you dare die."
Just then, Himeno suddenly spoke in a serious and low voice.
After all, to humans, firearms were no less dangerous than Devils.
Compared to Devils, she was more afraid of humans who suddenly ambushed people from behind with guns.
"I’m not that easy to kill."
Aki Hayakawa said.
Listening to their conversation, Kotone Asaba suddenly remembered that because of his interference, Aki Hayakawa had been recruited into Tokyo Public Safety ahead of schedule. It had probably happened a few months earlier. In the original timeline, Aki Hayakawa had over three years of experience as a Public Safety Devil Hunter.
And whether it should be called a coincidence or not, after those few months were pushed forward, Himeno had just lost another partner.
Public Safety Devil Hunter really was an extremely high-risk profession. The salary was high, and the treatment was good, but many did not live long enough to enjoy it.
Himeno looked quite young too, yet she had already gone through several partners. Her previous partners had all died.
Kotone Asaba was thinking about these things, and as his thoughts wandered, they arrived in front of the yakuza building.
As soon as the car stopped, the operation immediately began, minimizing the chance for the yakuza members to react.
At the first moment, Kotone Asaba directly transferred himself through the Kamui dimension to the place where the firearms were stored. He had previously left a "marker" there, an invisible "marker" no one could discover.
Of course, there were also yakuza members guarding the place where the firearms were stored, but he silently assassinated them.
Immediately afterward, Kotone Asaba transferred all the firearms there into the Kamui dimension.
That way, even if the yakuza members reacted later and realized they were being raided, they would have no guns to use, aside from the few yakuza members who had guns on them to begin with.
He was not sure exactly how many there were. He had not scouted the entire yakuza building before, but at the very least, he had scouted half of it, and had only discovered that the yakuza members guarding the Gun Devil flesh pieces carried guns on them.
Naturally, he had also left a "marker" there long ago.
At that moment, one of the yakuza members guarding the Gun Devil flesh pieces secretly yawned, but that would be the last yawn of his life.
A figure silently appeared behind him without warning. Before he knew anything, his throat was slit by a dagger.
The other two saw Kotone Asaba, but the sudden situation made them freeze for a moment. Before they even had time to make a sound, Kotone Asaba’s two hands had already pressed down on their shoulders.
In that instant, the two of them were absorbed into the Kamui dimension.
Kotone Asaba also disappeared briefly. Then, what he brought back out were two corpses.
At this time, the outside had also been tightly sealed off by the police, and the Public Safety Devil Hunters stormed into the building.
