Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Elephant Devil

Kotone Asaba only smiled faintly. How could he not know that Aki Hayakawa was the classic type who seemed cold on the outside but was warm on the inside?

"I heard all of that."

Aki Hayakawa’s face was as expressionless as usual, but somehow, he still gave off the impression that he was a little angry.

"Hahaha, I’m kidding, I’m kidding."

Himeno brushed past the topic. "Let’s hurry up and get lunch."

Since Himeno had offered to treat them, Kotone Asaba did not stand on ceremony, but he did not order anything expensive either. He just ordered the same thing as Aki Hayakawa and Himeno.

As for Pochita, he was currently inside the Kamui dimension. There was plenty of food in the Kamui dimension, so Kotone did not transfer him out.

During the meal, Himeno started trying to talk Aki Hayakawa into smoking again.

This time, however, Aki still did not accept.

After lunch, Kotone Asaba and the other two went out on street patrol.

During the patrol, he brought Pochita out to get some air.

At this point, there was not much need to keep Pochita in the Kamui dimension all the time anymore.

This time, it had only been because the operation at the yakuza building made it inconvenient to bring Pochita out. Kotone could simply use a dagger for silent assassinations. If he used Pochita and made the sound of a chainsaw, he would not have been able to quietly deal with those firearms.

Normally, carrying Pochita around with him was enough. Although Pochita’s current appearance made it hard for people to realize he was the Chainsaw Devil, the chainsaw on his head could still arouse suspicion.

The higher-ups of the major nations should all know about the Chainsaw Devil’s deeds in Hell. For example, in the original story, Santa Claus was able to form a contract with the Hell Devil, which meant the Hell Devil served as a channel for information to pass between the human world and Hell. It might even be the only such channel.

Of course, it also could not be ruled out that after Makima came to the human world and discovered Pochita, she had begun laying plans around him in advance, hiding her identity while spreading word of the Chainsaw Devil’s deeds to the higher-ups of various nations and luring them into the board she had set up.

Makima had come directly from Hell to the human world through the Hell Devil. She was not reincarnated through the normal cycle, so she still possessed her memories from Hell, remembered the Chainsaw Devil’s scent, and could know that Pochita was the Chainsaw Devil the moment she encountered him.

Either way, even if Kotone Asaba did not put Pochita in the Kamui dimension, he still had to keep him by his side.

During their afternoon patrol, the three of them did not discover any devils anywhere they passed.

Public Safety Devil Hunters usually did not have much to do. Daily patrols were very easy, and even if they found a devil, as long as private Devil Hunters were already responsible for hunting it, then according to the rules, they could not steal the job from the private side unless the private Devil Hunters could not handle it.

However, every once in a while, a powerful devil would appear, and it was very possible for that single incident to take the life of a Public Safety Devil Hunter.

By evening, Public Safety was off work.

Over the next few days, it was nothing but daily patrols, then more daily patrols. From the end of the yakuza building operation until now, Kotone Asaba had not taken action even once.

That was because during these few days of patrols, there had been no chance for him to make a move at all. The devils they occasionally encountered were not particularly strong, and private Devil Hunters were already responsible for killing them.

Of course, it was not as if no powerful devils had appeared anywhere in Tokyo. It was just that Public Safety’s other divisions were responsible for them, and for the time being, Devil Extermination Division 2 had not been called in.

Kotone Asaba had been a little bored these past few days, but Aki Hayakawa’s and Himeno’s Affinity had both increased.

When the target was human, raising Affinity in the direction of friendship was fairly easy. Just interacting naturally from day to day would gradually raise it.

By now, Aki Hayakawa’s Affinity had already reached 55%, while Himeno’s Affinity was at 40%.

That night, just as Kotone Asaba was about to go to sleep, his phone suddenly rang. He was informed that a powerful devil, one that private Devil Hunters could not deal with, had appeared somewhere in Tokyo. There was a high probability that it possessed a piece of Gun Devil flesh.

In the middle of the night, all of Devil Extermination Division 2 was urgently deployed.

Even team members who had already gone to bed instantly woke up, changed into their uniforms, and rushed to Public Safety to gather.

Whenever there was a devil with a high probability of possessing a piece of Gun Devil flesh, Public Safety attached great importance to it and would deploy an entire division.

Generally speaking, they would not mobilize all of Public Safety at once. Otherwise, arranging paid time off would become troublesome. The exception was a special operation like the yakuza building raid. The importance of a full 1 kilogram / 2.2 pounds of Gun Devil flesh went without saying.

The captain of Devil Extermination Division 2 was a bald, heavily built man with a scar on his face. In front of the Public Safety building, he swept his gaze over the group, confirmed that everyone had arrived, then prepared to depart.

Kotone Asaba had previously gotten briefly acquainted with everyone in Devil Extermination Division 2. The captain’s name was Takeuchi Heichi, and the devil he had contracted with was the Fist Devil. As for its abilities, one could more or less guess just by hearing the devil’s name.

According to Captain Takeuchi himself, he had used his own hair as the condition for the contract, which was why he had gone bald. Whether that was true or not was hard to say.

Including Kotone Asaba, Aki Hayakawa, and Himeno, all of Devil Extermination Division 2 had a total of seven people. That was even after the recent addition of two rookies, Kotone Asaba and Aki Hayakawa.

There had never been many Public Safety Devil Hunters. People were often severely injured or killed outright, and some could not endure it and resigned to return to the private sector. There were also only so many rookies they could recruit, after all, if a rookie was not strong enough, bringing them in would only get them killed very quickly.

After that, the seven of them immediately set out for the target location.

The location was a plaza. The ordinary people nearby had already been evacuated, but the police and private Devil Hunters were completely unable to restrict the devil’s movements, because it was the "Elephant Devil."

Ordinary elephants were already massive, and the Elephant Devil’s size was doubled. It stood about 10 meters / 33 feet tall.

Its dark purple skin looked extremely rough and thick. Five bulging eyes grew from its head, and its enormous, long trunk was packed full of dense, razor-sharp teeth.

The private Devil Hunters were doing no more than scratching at the Elephant Devil. After one of them was knocked to the ground by its trunk, he was just about to be crushed into paste under the Elephant Devil’s foot.

A figure suddenly appeared behind him. In the next instant, the scene in front of his eyes changed, and he was far away from the Elephant Devil.

He had no idea what had just happened. Still shaken with fear, he wondered why the Elephant Devil had suddenly ended up so far away from him.

Watching the Elephant Devil as it rampaged around, Captain Takeuchi immediately asked Aki Hayakawa, "Hayakawa, you should have brought the Gun Devil flesh with you, right?"

"Yeah."

Aki Hayakawa answered, then took out the piece of Gun Devil flesh that he had made into a chain.

He held one end of the chain in his hand, and the piece of Gun Devil flesh hanging from the other end began to sway noticeably, showing that there was another piece of Gun Devil flesh nearby. Clearly, it was inside the Elephant Devil’s body.

Seeing this, Captain Takeuchi and the other team members confirmed that the Elephant Devil possessed a piece of Gun Devil flesh, and they knew what they were dealing with.

"Asaba has already rescued the civilian. We move immediately. We absolutely cannot let the Elephant Devil rush into a crowded area!"

Captain Takeuchi spoke in a low, heavy voice.

But just then, someone let out a shocked, trembling voice.

"C-Captain, I don’t think we need to do anything anymore..."
